BELL WITCH "Mirror Reaper" LP Advance




I can´t stop looking at the wonderful album cover by Mariusz Lewandowski. It belongs to the next BELL WITCH full-length “Mirror Reaper”, which will be released on October 20th through Profound Lore Records.

It is the band´s third full-length consisting of one single loooong track of 83 minutes length.

As advance we can give a good listen to a ten minute excerpt of slow obscure funeral doom,  with deep growling vocals and great hypnotic chants.  Excellent and promising! Pre-order (double vinyl looks awesome) here.

MORK "Eremittens Dal" LP



“Eremittens Dal”, the third full length of Norwegian Black Metallers MORK will be released through Peaceville Records next October 13th on LP, CD and digital format.

Here´s an excerpt from Peaceville´s official press info: "Mork was created by Thomas Eriksen in 2004 & was primarily a side-project for Eriksen from inception until the debut album release in 2013, & since then the band has rightly earned their accolade as one of the top Norwegian black metal acts of recent years, receiving strong endorsements from their peers." 


One of the endorsements that they refer are the guys from Darkthrone, even Nocturno Culto contributed with vocals on MORK´s previous album. This time the labum will feature guest appearances of members of Dimmu Borgir (Silenoz) and 1349

Here´s an official video launched by the  band and the label of one of the album track "I Hornenens Bilde" grim, raw, evil old school black metal as its best!

WORSHIP VINYL: REPUGNANT "Epitome Of Darkness" Re-issue!


September 15th is the release date announced by Soulseller Records for the reissue of REPUGNANT´s great debut full-length (and only full-length so far) “Epitome Of Darkness”, originally released in 2006.

This gem of morbid, obscure, evil, repulsive, Swedish death metal will be reissued on a very limited edition of 500 copies on clear vinyl with insert.

Unfortunately the band has been on hiatus for a long time and I (and many more) hope that the band deliver another release a in a near future.

As many of you already know, singer Tobias Forge revealed the secret (not so secret to many) his involvement in the band Ghost behind the mask of singer Papa Emeritus, but who cares anyway, (Ghost fans maybe) a new REPUNGANT album would be great! In the meantime don’t miss this! Pre-orders and more info here.

AKOUPHENOM "Flesh Sublimation"

Discovering obscure and really interesting bands among millions of bands from time to time and in unexpectedly form is a rewarding feeling, and this is the case of AKOUPHENOM.
This band from A Coruña, Spain, is a young band active since 2015. That same year the band released their EP "Flesh Sublimation" on CD and digital, and last year they released a split with La Hija Del Carroñero, on pro-tape and digital.

The band knows how to create dark and intense atmospheres through its dense, sinister black death metal. The songs on "Flesh Sublimation", usually of more than 10 minutes length are well structured and show a good variety of extreme and occasionally unusual riffs and rhythms, accompanied by a rabid vocal assault to bring the listener a true fusion of chaos, darkness and destruction.

AKOUPHENOM is currently recording the debut album, which will surely come out at the end of the year or beginning of 2018. The band is also looking for a new bass player, as their former bass player Silvara has recently left the band.

Take a closer look and embrace the dark music of Akouphenom, look away if you fear to experience sonic and morbid mayhem.

KAWIR "Exilasmos" LP



November 3rd is the international release date for the new KAWIR album. Entitled “Exilasmos” it will come out via Iron Bonehead Productions on vinyl, CD and tape, and the album is going to be awesome.

I venture to say that after listening to the first advance track “Agamemnon”. The song is simply brilliant! epic and melodic, alternating with violent speed and great furious/dramatic vocals, another gem of the Hellenic Black Metal!


Lyrically “the record is conceptually about the tragic dynasties of the house of Lavdakides (Oedipus Tyrannus) and the house of Atreus. Both dynasties nearly exterminated themselves, and all these violent and inhuman acts brought forth the wrath of Zeus and the curses were consequently laid upon the whole bloodline. "Exilasmos" in Ancient Hellenic Language means calming down the gods' wrath, so it perfectly describes the tragic events featured in the namesake album.
