ITP V.022 REVIEW: DARK FUNERAL: "WE ARE THE APOCALYPSE",

https://spak-individualthoughtpatterns.blogspot.com/2022/04/itp-v022-review-dark-funeral-we-are.html

FROM DARK FUNERAL:

A BEAST TO PRAISE

Some nights become immortal...

We are proud to announce the release of our new live album, "A Beast To Praise (Live at Fållan, Stockholm)", out worldwide on August 21, 2026 via Century Media Records.

Recorded in Stockholm during the release ritual for "We Are The Apocalypse", this album captures a very special moment in the history of Dark Funeral — our return to the stage after years of silence during the pandemic, and a night that became far more than just another concert.

Lord Ahriman comments:

"A Beast To Praise" captures a very important moment in the history of Dark Funeral — not only the live release ritual for We Are The Apocalypse, but also our return to the stage after years of silence during the pandemic. The energy in the room, the fire, the audience and the atmosphere all came together into something far beyond an ordinary concert. This release stands as the immortal document of that night."

Today we unleash the first single and video from the album: "The Arrival Of Satan's Empire"

Watch it now on YouTube and secure your copy of *A Beast To Praise* via the links in the comments.

As we prepare for our final selected festival appearances this summer, followed by our European tour with Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir this fall, this release serves as the closing chapter of the *We Are The Apocalypse* era.

At the same time, we are already deeply focused on the future and hard at work creating new material for the next Dark Funeral studio album.

And as one era ends, another is already taking shape — bigger, darker and more epic than ever before...

FROM WIKEPEDIA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth

FROM SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER:

#OTD in 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced to the last remaining enslaved Black people that they were free.

This day became known as Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the U.S.

We continue our commitment to refusing the white supremacist systems that enslaved millions of Black people and honor those lives lost but not forgotten. Today

#VILANOVACONNECTION

FROM THE NATION:

I want people to understand how it can feel to love a sport and love a city and then endure decades of disappointment over the inability of those two loves to align. The rhythm of the city comes with the beat of a basketball on the blacktop. But due to horrible ownership, this team has been discordant for decades—unable to move in concert with that ubiquitous beat. Basketball is life across the five boroughs, and having a team mired in defeat, scandal, and humiliation has long felt like a cruel fate.

I became convinced—and I was not alone—that however good the Knicks became, something would derail it: a missed layup, a disastrous shooting exhibition during a critical playoff game, an off-court scandal. These past two months, during every Knicks playoff game, that feeling returned. Even with comeback after comeback during the Finals, I never felt liberated from the assumption that the Knicks’ magic would run out. But as we all learned, the team was never about magic, luck, or mystique: It was about will; it was about having the mental strength to not only win a title but lift a city on their backs.

BEAST IN BLACK: ANNOUNCE NEW GUITARIST MARKUS VENEHSALO

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 15:00:33 +0000

Finland based heavy metal, power metal warriors BEAST IN BLACK have announced new guitarist MARKUS VENEHSALO...

BEAST IN BLACK have announced guitarist KASPERI HEIKKINEN has parted ways with the band.

BEAST IN BLACK unleashed "POWER OF THE BEAST" (EP), 12/6/2024 via WARD RECORDS.

BEAST IN BLACK unleashed "DARK CONNECTION", 10/29/2021 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.

FROM BEAST IN BLACK:

We have some exciting news to share with you!

First of all, we want to extend our deepest thanks to our friend and amazing guitarist Daniel Freyberg for the past eight months we’ve shared together. We hope you felt the warmth and love of the Beast fans!

Daniel:

“I wanna thank Beast In Black and the fans for this amazing adventure together. Stepping outside of my normal world for a while and sharing these moments on stage with you all was truly a ride to remember. That being said, we all knew this chapter would be temporary due to my long-term plans with Crownshift, but I'm really glad we got to make some great memories around the globe. Although our paths are now heading in different directions, the friendship remains strong, and I wish the band nothing but the very best for the future!”

At the same time, we are beyond excited to officially welcome Markus Venehsalo to the band's ranks as our new guitarist. He truly showed his claws with his strong musical skills and original solos during the extensive interviews with several highly skilled candidates from both Finland and abroad. His Eastern Finland sense of humor also struck a chord with the band and made the decision feel both natural and inevitable. Beast family, give Markus a big shout-out and show him what you're made of!

Markus: "When I was 8 years old, my dad brought home a guitar he had bought from a work buddy. I plugged it into an amp, found the distortion channel, and said to my dad, ‘I’m going to be a rock ’n’ roll guitarist!’ Being now part of the Beast In Black lineup feels like an almost impossible dream come true for me, and I'm excited about what the future holds for us. Thank you for trusting me on guitar duties. I promise to do my absolute best!"

Bandcamp - https://verdun-label.bandcamp.com

Store links - https://linktr.ee/transcendingobscurity

Info -

Verdun from France emerge after a prolonged gap of seven years, armed with a sound more potent and lethal than ever before. They've evolved to play a form of blackened sludge with a dissonant edge. Their music on the new album is riff-driven through and through; without wasting time on ambience or buildup, they go straight for the jugular and leave things filthy. The music is mind-numbingly heavy yet catchy and direct, making it highly effective and memorable. To balance the blackened spite dripping from the well-enunciated vocals, the music includes atmospheric elements and possesses emotional depth. The album doesn't drag on and seems to end sooner than later but only after exploring various aspects of their sound that keep it engrossing and thoroughly satisfying. "Abyssal Womb" is a fine representation of the style, having a sublime sound and faultless execution, and more importantly, it will stay with you long after the album is over.

For fans of - Drofnosura, Coffinworm, Thou, Indian

The putrid MEGASCAVENGER machine rises once again from the depths of Swedish Death Metal with “Toxic Noxious Undeath”, the 6th album from this monstrous creation spawned by the sick and unstoppable mind of Rogga Johansson. The new opus will be unleashed on August 13th through XTREEM MUSIC on CD, 12”LP, cassette, and digital formats.

For this new dose of decay, Rogga has assembled a true legion of cult vocalists, each vomiting their own infection onto an exclusive track. Among the names featured in this parade of rot are Kam Lee (Massacre), Erik Rundqvist (Vomitory), Dave Ingram (Benediction ), Max Otero (Mercyless), Dave Rotten (Avulsed), Felix Stass (Crematory-swe), Michael H. Andersen (Thorium), Silvester Koorevaar (Fondlecorpse), Jan Bergmann Jepsen (Maceration) and Peter Svensson (Void Moon) .

Musically, “Toxic Noxious Undeath” is a crushing avalanche of heavy, rotten, and criminally catchy Death Metal, packed with infectious riffs and sepulchral atmospheres that make this album one of the most devastating and essential releases of the year within the genre.

Is there ever enough filthy, rotten Death Metal drenched in horror themes? MEGASCAVENGER certainly doesn’t think so, and that’s exactly why they return with “Toxic Noxious Undeath”, the band’s sixth full-length assault.

MEGASCAVENGER has been lurking in the underground since 2012, and throughout every album, Rogga Johansson has gathered an impressive cast of guests from some of the most prominent names in Death Metal. Legends from Master, Asphyx, Avulsed, Grave, Edge of Sanity, Massacre and Benediction, among many others, have all left their mark on MEGASCAVENGER’s first four albums: “Descent of Yuggoth” (2012), “At the Plateaus of Leng” (2014), “As Dystopia Beckons” (2016), and “Boneyard Symphonies” (2019).

In early 2020, MEGASCAVENGER signed with Xtreem Music for the release of their fifth album, “Songs in the Key of Madness”, which saw the light in August of the same year. Six years later, Rogga has sculpted a new deformity entitled “Toxic Noxious Undeath”, once again dragging listeners into a world of rotten riffs, horror-soaked atmospheres, and pure old-school Death Metal decay.

For this new work, the artwork was created by Lucretia Morti, who has already left her unmistakable mark on bands such as Ribspreader, Avulsed and Paganizer, among many others.

Tracklist for "Toxic Noxious Undeath" is as follows:

01. Graveyard Dreams and Bonehouse Screams

(feat. Kam Lee/Massacre)

02. Corpses Below

(feat. Felix Stass/Crematory)

03. Exploding Casket Syndrome

(feat. Erik Rundqvist/Vomitory)

04. Heading For the Furnace

(feat. Silvester Koorevaar/Fondlecorpse)

09. Shallow Grave Overflow

(feat. Dave Rotten/Avulsed)

10. The Morbid Rides Again

(feat. Peter Svensson/Void Moon)

Release date for "Toxic Noxious Undeath" will be August 13th, 2026 through Xtreem Music on CD, 12"LP, Cassette & Digital formats.

FROM INSOMNIUM:

“Shadowlife” marks the first glimpse of our forthcoming album that will be out in October.

On the new single, crushing weight meets delicate vulnerability, and darkness and light are woven together. The song is produced by Miiro Varjus & Insomnium, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios.

Check out the video by Coldstore Productions offering a captivating first glimpse into the Netherworlds: https://youtu.be/i5tMCCXKkD0

Niilo Sevänen comments: “As a story, ‘Shadowlife’ can be seen as a thematic gateway to the entire record - an elegy not only for a lost beloved, but also for the fading belief that anything beautiful can remain untouched by time. It is a realization that love, youth, summer, and warmth cannot be preserved forever. Thus, we are left suspended between longing and acceptance, lingering in the liminal spaces of sleep, shadow, and night.”

Markus Vanhala adds: “‘Shadowlife’ opens the dreamy next chapter of INSOMNIUM with a certain self-aware catchiness. I set out to write an obvious hit—perhaps even a so-called banger—to kick things off, but don’t worry: the deeper cuts will follow. Album No. 10 is truly a defining milestone for us, so we wanted to honor our history while also introducing some new nuances. Living on the edge.”

More info on the album & pre-order will follow soon.
