Swedish Gothic, death, doom metal warriors DRACONIAN have posted a lyric video for "ANIMA (FEATURING DANIEL ANGHEDE)" , a track from the bands anticipated new offering "IN SOMNOLENT RUIN", due to be unleashed 5/8/2026 via NAPALM RECORDS.

DRACONIAN unleashed "UNDER A GODLESS VEIL", 10/30/2020 via NAPALM RECORDS

FROM DRACONIAN:

ANIMA is out now!

Lyric video by Gaui H Pic in comments.

Anders Jacobsson about the new single:

ANIMA began as a poem I wrote in 2019—an exploration of the soul’s duality and the inner territories we tend to avoid, or fear to face. It moves through paradox, cloaked as a flowing inward journey, culminating in a quiet reckoning: an acceptance of one’s own darkness, embraced rather than denied. The title itself nods to the Jungian archetype.

Sonically, the track leans into a more gothic atmosphere than our earlier work. We invited Daniel Änghede to take on lead vocals, and his dreamy presence aligns seamlessly with the mood we envisioned. His voice intertwines beautifully with Lisa’s, creating a resonance that feels both intimate and expansive.

ANIMA stands apart on the album through its atmosphere, its intent, and the performance it carries.

We sincerely hope it finds something in you.”

FROM EVERGREY:

LEAVING THE EMPTINESS - OUT NOW

Who is excited for the new album?

Our new single is a high-energy firecracker that makes you want to jump — we know, because we just played it in Brazil twice and people were more in the air than on the ground.

But don’t let the adrenaline fool you. Underneath the surge is something rawer — a song about the moment you stop running from what hurts and finally turn to face it. “Leaving the Emptiness” hits hard because it earns it. The tension between the euphoric, major-key drive and the weight of the lyrics is completely intentional — we want you to feel joy and ache at the same time, because that’s what it actually feels like to face your demons and come out the other side.

We also made a video that matches that energy in every way, and we genuinely cannot wait for you to see it.

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE:

Roman V — founder and creative force behind black metal outfit Bizarrekult — returns to Into The Necrosphere this week. We go deep on the creation and themes of the band’s new album, Alt Som Finnes, with Roman opening up about the personal struggles that shaped it, and how unexpected support from a scene legend helped bring it across the finish line. We also cover his experience performing at this year’s INFERNO METAL FESTIVAL NORWAY, and plenty more.

On the Weekly News Rant, fellow Horseman of the Podcasting Apocalypse Mike Scondotto joins me for an epic breakdown of the latest singles from Ride For Revenge, Lorn, Inferno, Arroganz and more. We also get into the recent layoffs at MetalSucks and Metal Injection — and what they signal about the state of metal media — before Mike drops a “bad metal take” that needs to be heard to be believed.

PLUS: Soothsayer premiere their latest single on the Sphere, Werewolves throw down the black metal gauntlet with Faustian, and a delusional rockstar wannabe earns a watery reckoning in my Swirly of the Week.

Out now on all digital platforms.

BAALZAGOTH: SET TO UNLEASH "NO GOD, NO SAVIOR", POST VIDEO FOR TITLE TRACK

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Mon, 04 May 2026 13:50:00 +0000

Polish death metal warriors BAALZAGOTH have posted a video for the title track from the bands anticipated new release "NO GOD, NO SAVIOR", due to be unleashed 6/6/2026 via PUTRID CULT.

BAALZAGOTH, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated new release "MORBID PERSECUTIONS", unleashed 4/15/2022 via MARA PRODUCTIONS.

FROM SOLID ROCK PR:

BAALZAGOTH strikes without mercy - first blow from the new album.

BAALZAGOTH returns with the most ruthless release of their career - "No God, No Savior" which is a manifesto of extremity, chaos, and total negation.

Blackened death metal in its purest crushing form.

FFO: Morbid Angel, Incantation, Immolation, Deicide

BAALZAGOTH, a band from Polish town Kostrzyn nad Odrą, makes it clear from the very first notes: there is no room for compromise, salvation, or mercy. Embracing the aesthetics of blackened death metal, the band delivers music that is brutal, direct, and consciously aimed at religious dogma. Their sound is a sonic execution - heavy, dense, and permeated with a darkness that not only accompanies but overwhelms.

Baalzagoth draws from the hellish legacy of the death metal scene—you can hear echoes of the merciless power of Morbid Angel, the suffocating chaos of Incantation, the ritualistic severity of Immolation, and the extreme intensity of Hate Eternal. However, this is neither a copy nor a nostalgic homage - the band takes what is heaviest, most sinister, and most primal in death metal, then ramps up the brutality to the breaking point.

Since its inception, Baalzagoth has consistently forged its own identity: anti-religious, dark, and ruthless. Their compositions are tightly constructed, precisely constructed—massive riffs, a crushing rhythm section, and a tempo that leaves no room for breath. This is music that attacks head-on, without embellishment, without flirting with lightness - pure, primal power.

The culmination of this journey is the album "No God, No Savior" - the band's most polished, ruthless, and mature release. It's intense and conceptually coherent material, consciously evolving their existing sound toward even greater extremes and expressiveness.

All music was written and arranged by the band, except “Auto da fé” which was composed, performed and recorded by Michał “Joda” Sobczyński. Ika Klimaszewska (soprano vocals & vocal samples) appears as a guest on the tracks: “Satan”, “Excommunicatus ab humanitate”, “Auto da fé” and “Gloria Apostasiae”. Drums were recorded at Sound of Records Studio by Mikołaj Kiciak (Blindead 23, Leash Eye), guitars at Tetra Wave Studio by Krzysztof Kostencki (Morrath, Sothoris), and the material was subsequently recorded, edited, mixed, and mastered at Heinrich House Studio by Filip Hałucha (Azarath, Behemoth, Hate). The album cover artwork was conceived by Oktavius, with artwork and layout created by Ksenia Kot, based on a photograph by Maciej Pieloch. Band photography was done by Maciej Pieloch (Batushka, Hate).

The band comments on the upcoming release: "No God, No Savior is not just an album—it's a manifesto of extremes. A sonic declaration of the rejection of the idea of salvation, an affirmation of chaos, and the triumph of darkness over the illusion of meaning. Baalzagoth doesn't attempt to reinvent death metal. We remind you what this genre truly is: aggression, negation, and the unbridled violence of sound. No compromise. No god. No salvation."

New studio album "No God, No Savior" will be released on June 6, 2026 in digital format and on CD via the Polish underground label Putrid Cult (https://www.putridcult.pl/baalzagoth-no-god-no-savior-cd...). Below you can stream lyric video for the single "No God, No Savior".

ITP V.026 ONLY ONE PER COFFIN: R.I.P. CJ HERNA (FORMER VOCALIST NOVEMBERS DOOM)

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Mon, 04 May 2026 13:35:00 +0000

CJ HERNA , former vocalist of Chicago, Illinois doom metal warriors NOVEMBERS DOOM passed away 11/18/2024, no cause of death has been given.

FROM NOVEMBERS DOOM:

Time passes by, we get busy, life throws obstacles and challenges, and our focus shifts. We forget to check in with friends, and months can pass. Months turn into years, and then you find news that hits with instant regret.

We collectively as Novembers Doom recently learned that original member CJ Hejna has passed away.

When Steve Nicholson and I started this band in the late ‘80s, I went to a local opera performance with a high school friend to watch his girlfriend perform. That was the first night I met CJ, and her voice stunned me.

After her performance I pulled her aside and said, “I have an idea, and it involves REALLY heavy metal and that opera style voice!” She wasn’t quite sure what to think, but a squinty-eyed, half-smile grin got me a response of “Sounds like chaos! I’m in!” And just like that, we had a beauty to my beast.

CJ’s talent graced us on Amid Its Hallowed Mirth, “Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers,” as well as the 3-song EP For Every Leaf That Falls, and our tribute to Ozzy, “Revelation (Mother Earth).”

She stepped away for personal reasons during the years that followed, and when she was ready to return, we would talk.

Talk we did. A lesser known fact — CJ’s return was to be on the album The Pale Haunt Departure. Sadly, those demons returned, and her personal well-being meant more.

As time went on, we kept in touch. I would visit her from time to time, and one day, as no one ever expects, was the last time I saw or spoke to her.

Years have passed once again — sadly many more this time — and now we’ve learned she’s no longer with us.

CJ holds a very special place in my heart. She believed in my crazy idea, and not only embraced it, but encouraged it. She had amazing ideas, a brilliant mind, and an aura that lit up a room when she entered it. Maybe it was that fire red hair, or the free-spirited, barefoot charm. We all loved her in our own ways.

Cathy Jo, I know this is late, but goodnight my muse. I’m so sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye.

Paul

Novembers Doom

FROM UTOPIA RECORDS:

IN TIMES BEFORE THE LIGHT TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT ALERT!!!

The kovenant 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟖𝐭𝐡 – 𝟏𝟗𝐭𝐡, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 ‘𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬’ 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥

Sept 18th – Melbourne, Max Watts

Sept 19th – Sydney, Crowbar

The highly successful resurrection of 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐍T sees them hurtling through Australia for the very first time with a special performance of their much revered and critically acclaimed album ‘𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬’.

In 1998, Norway’s 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐓 (known back then as Covenant) released ‘𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬’, a landmark symphonic black metal album that defied genre conventions and successfully combined extreme metal elements with its cosmic themes, polished production, and melodic, neo-classical guitar work. Every song sounded like a new masterpiece, never treading over the same path all the while pushing a new threshold in every aspect. ‘𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬’ is widely regarded as a groundbreaking release, one of the classic, essential symphonic black metal albums of all time, and these two exclusive Australian shows should not be missed by anyone!

Featuring past and present members of 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙝𝙚𝙢, 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨, 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙡𝙚 𝙊𝙛 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙪 𝘽𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙧, this September, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐓 invite you on a trip through the cosmos.
