Temple Of Dread - Dreadspawn Dominion 9.59 $

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 06:40:02 +0200

Like a mighty battle trireme, TEMPLE OF DREAD are leaving their port on the East Frisian island of Spiekeroog to deliver brutal death metal with the new massive ram bow "Dreadspawn Dominion" to all that dare to try and block their course. Musically, TEMPLE OF DREAD remain true to their old school death metal roots but continue to expand their sonic range by further honing their cinematic aspects with even more dark and heavy elements that began to receive special attention on the previous albums "Beyond Acheron" (2023) and "God of the Godless" (2024). These veterans are making full use of their vast experience and audible confidence in their deadly craft to add true emotions into their often rather technically focussed genre. Once again, these hardy islanders make use of classical themes from the ancient world with lyrics penned by their friend and long-time collaborator, the psychologist Frank "Doc" Albers. TEMPLE OF DREAD were founded on the island of Spiekeroog in 2017 by Markus Bünnemeyer with the intent to play old school death metal. Originally a trio, the band has now grown into a five-piece. With "Dreadspawn Dominion", TEMPLE OF DREAD do not just deliver about everything that their old school death metal following might desire but also invite listeners from other realms on the darker and harder side of metal to lend an ear. Listen and behold: an ancient darkness is rising to claim your souls!

The album has everything that old school death metal fans could ask for. Yet the Swedish-English-American trio did not idle since their first release. Sharpening their musical claws and filing their sonic teeth, RAVAGED BY THE YETI simply got bigger and better by offering more of everything that defines their sound.

Soulburn - Quantifying Cosmic Doom 9.59 $

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 03:40:06 +0200

With "Quantifying Cosmic Doom", SOULBURN renew the dark pact with their loyal following of delivering extreme and harsh metal that always pushes to new frontiers while staying true to its core values of black, death, and doom. Built upon a solid foundation of death metal, "Quantifying Cosmic Doom" seamlessly adds walls of melancholy that are chiselled out of doom bedrock and crowns towering riffs with the fierce and spiritual flames of black metal. A wide range of musical variability as well as the masterful storytelling that runs like a golden thread through the epic songs give SOULBURN away as experienced veterans who are utterly confident and passionate about their extreme craft. SOULBURN rose from the ashes of ASPHYX in 1996, one of the times when the Dutch death metal pioneers fell apart before reuniting sooner or later. Their acclaimed debut album "Feeding on Angels" (1998) doubled up as a statement of musical intent as it contained a stripped down but deadly concoction of doom-laden black metal, which quickly established them as a devastating musical force. Behind the fifth SOULBURN album, "Quantifying Cosmic Doom", lies a long journey that never followed a straightforward road but travelled through many dimensions and took hidden paths. Yet the Dutch metal extremists have undeniably reached a dark and beautiful peak.

Tracklist:
01. The Braveheart of Nightmares
02. Powehi, the Embellished Dark Source of Unending Creation
03. A Pyramid Absurd
04. An Impious Journey Through the Cathedral's Mouth

Arroganz - Death Doom Punks 9.59 $

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 01:40:07 +0200

With their seventh full-length, "Death Doom Punks", ARROGANZ deliver exactly what the title promises: the brutality of old school death metal meets the attitude and unpolished directness of punk. This album pulls no punches and hits straight into the gut and face. The German trio has amplified 15 years of experience into a record that comes with their trademark sound but is confident and mature both in songwriting and storytelling. On "Death Doom Punks", ARROGANZ are never afraid to let their influences shine through as they obviously made them their own. Driven by a heavy pumping bass and relentlessly whipped drum skins, the trio stacks massive riffs on top of each other and finishes any remaining resistance off with a barrage of deep-throated growls. Whatever ARROGANZ are doing, it always comes out at 100% while never forgetting the original roots in old school death metal. The trio's unwillingness to compromise has been hailed by many and earned them the hate of others - about which they do not give the slightest… as authenticity and honesty in every aspect are their key traits. With ARROGANZ what you see and hear is what you get, and "Death Doom Punks" is not just the album title but also a declaration of allegiance and intent. Get on board, bang your head, slam and rage - or get out!

1. Die For Nothing

Resurrected - Perpetual 9.59 $

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:37:51 +0200

The famous Ruhr Area, or the 'Pott' as it is called, was Germany's industrial heart that beat to the sound of steelworks and miners were risking their health and lives deep down in the eternal night of the coal seams. The Ruhr Area is also the place where RESURRECTED hail from, both mentally and physically, and its history has served as an important part of the inspiration that is driving the brutal death veterans' eighth full-length "Perpetual". Ash, soot, and the ringing noise of steel hammers seem particularly fertile ground for metal – from BLACK SABBATH via JUDAS PRIEST to KREATOR and SODOM. On "Perpetual", RESURRECTED keep a steady course, which remains firmly on an old school death metal trajectory. This is completely befitting for a band that ranks among the earliest pioneers of the brutal style in their country. What makes the difference are the many years of experience, both in songwriting and on stage, which are reflected in the technical proficiency as well as the powerful and absolutely crushing tracks that are a tribute to their craft on this album. RESURRECTED spent a large part of 2025 channelling their decades of experience, talent, and unwavering passion for death metal into "Perpetual": RESURRECTED did not grow old, they got even better!

Tracklist:
01. Unholy Intercession
02. Human Wrath
03. Forever Damned
04. Into Mighty Death
05. Sanity Is Lost
06. Decomposed
07. Immaculate Deception
08. Echoes of Creation

Messticator - Total Mastery 9.59 $

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 02:30:08 +0200

What if ... there really were an entity, greater than all humans that rules, judges and punishes us all? This would be the very definition of "Total Mastery", which is the title of MESSTICATOR's sophomore album as well as one of the ominous concepts that permeate its lyrics. Sinister tales are as much a trademark as are fast, hard, and uncompromising songs for the German band from Hamburg. On "Total Mastery", MESSTICATOR are still skilfully balancing on the edge of death and thrash metal, but with more experience comes a general levelling up and more of everything: "Total Mastery" is faster, harder, and even less willing to compromise than its predecessor "Forthcoming Revelation" (2022). With "Total Mastery", MESSTICATOR confirm their remarkable strength regarding the writing of catchy, deadly tunes but also demonstrate their ability to learn and grow spectacularly fast.

Tracklist:
01. The Pit Awaits...
02. ...The Pitslayer
03. High Ground
04. One-Shot-Kill
05. Ruins of Reason
06. Bloodsport

Slaughterday - Dread Emperor 9.59 $

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 02:10:10 +0200

With their sixth full-length "Dread Emperor", SLAUGHTERDAY deliver everything that they excel in, which is also precisely what their fans want from the duo: perfectly executed old school death metal with a wicked twist. From crushing doom-ridden ultra-heavy parts to calculated outbreaks of utter brutality, this record offers everything a still beating death metal heart could ask for. And of course, those cosmic horrors of the Great Old Ones, forbidden sounds, and tentacled death metal are still rising. The German band has also added more deeper meaning to their tales of cosmic terrors as a healthy antidote to stereotypes. Lyrically, SLAUGHTERDAY have always built on the well-established foundations of their genre by taking inspiration from American author H. P. Lovecraft and other masters of horror. And while sinister things crawl and creep through the duo's timeless brutality, they have always portrayed them with a sinister flair of their own. These days, the band has repurposed those monstrous creatures as metaphorical ciphers for relevant contemporary topics. SLAUGHTERDAY present new horrors and more brutal madness than ever that make "Dread Emperor" essential listening for any self-respecting old school death metal afficionado!

Nightbearer - Tales Of Sorcery And Death 9.59 $

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 01:11:49 +0200

NIGHTBEARER are one of the most consistent bands on Testimony Records. The young band from Westphalia released their debut full-length album, "Tales of Sorcery and Death," in 2019. Merciless death metal with a sawing HM-2 sound dominates the soundscape, yet axe master Dome already reveals his penchant for virtuoso soundscapes. The combination of brutal death metal and intense melodies would become a trademark of the band, which they further perfected on their subsequent albums. The song "Lycanthropic Death Squad" is still not only a nasty headbanger, but also a staple of NIGHTBEARER's live shows.

Total Annihilation - Mountains Of Madness 9.59 $

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 01:11:49 +0200

TOTAL ANNIHILATION will celebrate the band's 20th anniversary year with the release of their fourth full-length "Mountains of Madness". This album delivers all the Swiss precision and trademark elements their following has come to expect of them but also with more of everything: more tempo and serious speed, more brutality, more power, more thrash, more death but also more harmonies, more melodies, and more musicality! There are also more tentacles, more jaws, more razor-sharp teeth, more twisted mutation, and definitely more evil! "Mountains of Madness" is conceived as an echo of and a bold manifesto about the state of the world as well as an artistic sign of our time. Back in the year 2006 things looked less bleak when a bunch of young musicians were just looking for some good times. Vocalist Daniel Altwegg had joined forces with three of his friends and a hot desire to simply form the hardest, loudest, and rawest metal band of their Swiss home, the City of Basel. After a phase of stylistic experiments, the band settled for an aggressive yet melodic course that combined elements of death and thrash metal. For all of those who are sick and tired of hearing the same stuff all over again, TOTAL ANNIHILATION offer the perfect cure with "Mountains of Madness": simply more of everything!

Bonginator - Retrodeath 9.59 $

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:40:05 +0200

Bang, boom, BONGINATOR! Madness reigns supreme on the sophomore full-length of the American death metal fanatics: "Retrodeath" marks the birth of a new sound, not just for the band but also for the genre. The weed-devouring youngsters have actually put a lot of work into their new songs. Well, if you call immersing yourself for months into '80s action and horror movies as well as playing loads of old video games... 'work'. Then again, more days were spent with researching and emulating the exact synths used in the '80s to reconstruct some of their favourite soundtracks. The result is a fresh and somewhat happily unhinged sonic monster that has been carefully bred by BONGINATOR selectively crossing traditional US death metal, synthwave, and 16-bit computer game sounds. When vocalist and guitarist Erik Thorstenn channelled his love for death metal and weed into the creation of BONGINATOR in 2021, it was not intended as a challenger to incumbents such as CANNABIS CORPSE and WEEDEATER. The band from the New England state of Massachusetts already had a clear vision to carve out their own musical claim. The conceptual idea behind the crazy world of BONGINATOR appeared very much to revolve around a bunch of stoner kids taking on a horde of blood-thirsty aliens and then embarking on an intergalactic road trip to the darkest corners of the universe. Despite a calendar filled with shows, BONGINATOR also found the time to create a new milestone in their fast-rising career. "Retrodeath" takes everything further to far out, gleefully stitches together something new, something old, something borrowed, and a lot of things bold, but somehow manages to make sense of what sounds insane. Full weed ahead!

Tracklist:
01. Sequence Initiation (Intro)
02. All We Really Are Is Livestock
03. All Cops Are Biomechs
04. Pizza Time (ft. Belushi Speed Ball)

06. The Fog

New World Depression - Abysmal Void 9.59 $

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 01:11:49 +0200

NEW WORLD DEPRESSION raise the furious spirits of earth and sea on their seventh full-length "Abysmal Void". The album's ten songs each represent a chapter filled with one or more of humanity's failures such as delusion, greed, destruction, and war. The German death metal veterans deliver an honest reckoning with the current state of the world – brutal, unfiltered, and unforgiving. "Abysmal Void" continues the dark thematic journey that began in 2020 with "Descent" and found its continuation throughout the band's latest album "Interment of Sins" (2023). Musically, NEW WORLD DEPRESSION stay on track and true to their old school death metal roots, yet "Abysmal Void" received a healthy dose of more groove, more atmosphere, and more depth. Sound-smith Jörg Uken has honed the album to perfection at his famous Soundlodge Studio in East Frisia, which enjoys an excellent reputation in death metal circles and beyond. NEW WORLD DEPRESSION were founded in the historic Münsterland, to the north of the more famous Ruhr Area and with the once powerful bishopric and medieval city of Münster at its centre, in the year 2005. The Germans started out with a more death'n'roll sound on the debut EP "The Last Step of Evolution" (2005) as their first public sign of life, which was followed by the full-length "Unseal Pandora's Curse" (2008). During their early development, NEW WORLD DEPRESSION began to shift gradually towards old school death metal by taking inspiration from bands such as ASPHYX, BOLT THROWER, and OBITUARY. With the release of "Decent" in 2020, the Germans finally opted for a professional production and label. NEW WORLD DEPRESSION take humanity to the edge of the abyss with all the musical expertise gained from many years of experience both live and in studio. Just remember, if you listen hard to the brutal death metal inferno of "Abysmal Void", the abyss might also become aware of you!

KHNVM - Cosmocrator 9.59 $

Thu, 07 May 2026 02:50:01 +0200

With their fourth album "Cosmocrator", KHNVM are entering a downward spiral into the abyss of the human experience. The death metal brainiacs explore the crossroads of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. The album title "Cosmocrator" carries a dual significance. It symbolises the "Ruler of the World" and, within religious vocabulary, also stands for "Satan". This reflects the album's exploration of common phenomena, expressed through an adrenaline-fueled artistic lens. With the thought-provoking lyrics and harsh yet to the point musicality of "Cosmocrator", KHNVM promise not to just deliver on musical terms but also to captivate those who are drawn to complex narratives and philosophical depth. KHNVM are a death metal band that has walked the line between old school death metal and contemporary influences without stumbling. Fronted by Bangladeshi-born guitarist and vocalist Obliterator, the band was founded and is firmly based in Germany. When KHNVM entered the scene with their debut album "Foretold Monuments of Flesh" on Testimony Records in 2019, they were immediately met with acclaim both from critics and fans alike. In the wake of the second album, "Portals to Oblivion" (2021), KHNVM began to perform live. Meanwhile, KHNVM have toured, entered stages at many festivals, and played headliner and support shows across Europe. With "Cosmocrator", KHNVM offer a dual approach: The easy way is to enjoy the album simply for its outstanding musical merit. Yet there is also the far more winding path to take with its intricate lyrics and rich thoughts to be analysed, explored, and discussed for many years to come - and new meanings to be found as well as discoveries of fresh ideas to be made with each new turn!

Tracklist:
1. Purgatorial Pyre
2. Fetid Eden
3. Mercurial Remnants

5. Cosmocrator

Azure Emote - Cryptic Aura 10.55 $

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 01:11:49 +0200

Can they play with madness? With their fourth album "Cryptic Aura", AZURE EMOTE offer a tour de force through the outer stellar realms of death metal where the musical possibilities seem to become infinite and to expand into all directions and dimensions until the gravity of ultra heavy sound pulls everything back into a crushing event horizon. Each track on "Cryptic Aura" is unique with its own abstract insanity, but they all bond together nicely by an amalgamation of disturbing atmospheres, restless unease, and defiant creativity. AZURE EMOTE were founded by vocalist and keyboard player Mike Hrubovcak with the support of long-time friend and the band's guitarist Ryan Moll (TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION) in Philadelphia, PA in 2003. His intention was the creation of an experimental musical outlet to express personal negativity without the arbitrary limitations of genre that are so often present within the extreme metal scenes. Although the debut album "Chronicles of an Aging Mammal" (2007) quickly accumulated a cult following, AZURE EMOTE were nevertheless put on hiatus as Hrubovcak focused on touring extensively with his other bands at the time, in particular MONSTROSITY and VILE. In the summer of 2011, AZURE EMOTE were resurrected with FEAR FACTORY and MALIGNANCY drummer Mike Heller joining the fold, which eventually led to the release of the sophomore full-length "The Gravity of Impermanence" in 2013. The line-up is still featuring Kelly Conlon, who played bass on DEATH's "Symbolic" album and has been a member in MONSTROSITY among many other bands. With the inclusion of former ELUVEITIE lead-vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Anna Murphy, now CELLAR DARLING, as well as violin player Pete Johansen (ex-SIRENIA), AZURE EMOTE have expanded their impressive musical range further than ever. "Cryptic Aura" is the promise of what death metal can sound like when all considerations of genre limitations and musical preconceptions are abandoned while its brutal core remains untouched. Let AZURE EMOTE take you on a mind-blowing ride into deadly infinity.

Nightbearer - Defiance 9.59 $

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:50:10 +0200

NIGHTBEARER return with their crushing third full-length "Defiance". The German death dealers from the City of Paderborn in Eastern Westphalia have hammered out an album that retains their signature HM-2 chainsaw guitar sound and also maintains their unapologetic love for melodic death metal of the Swedish kind. "Defiance" also marks another step in the careful but steady evolution of their sound by adding a black passage here and a doom-spiced moment there to their old school sound. The result is an overall much more atmospheric album, which perfectly suits its lyrical concept. The album is directly inspired by the renowned "His Dark Materials" trilogy of books by English author Sir Philip Pullman. The lyrics revolve on a deeper level of meaning around humanity's emancipation from oppression by religion. When NIGHTBEARER were formed by vocalist Michael Torka and guitarist Dominik Hellmuth in 2017, they were driven by a fervent love for old school death metal and its golden age in the glorious 1990s. Following the 5-track EP "Stories from Beyond" (2018), their debut full-length album "Tales of Sorcery and Death" (2019) immediately scored a top ten position (#8) in the soundcheck of Germany Rock Hard magazine amid general critical acclaim. With their sophomore studio album "Ghosts of a Darkness to Come" (2022), NIGHTBEARER expanded their lyrical themes to conceptual size by taking their listeners on a journey into the dark events of Robert Jordan's epic saga 'The Wheel of Time'. With their third and most complete full-length to date, NIGHTBEARER display a perfect sense of timing by offering the world a death metal act of "Defiance" based on the "His Dark Materials" trilogy!

AntropomorphiA - Devoid Of Light 9.59 $

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:50:07 +0200

ANTROPOMORPHIA are back! Six years after their acclaimed studio full-length "Merciless Savagery" (2019), the Dutch death dealers return with their most brutal and dark record so far that is aptly entitled "Devoid of Light". When ANTROPOMORPHIA created "Devoid of Light" over a period of two and a half years, they never lost sight of their vision: to combine a wide variety of harsh musical textures including fanatical, white-eyed aggression, misanthropic and nihilistic lyrics, and dark emotions such as anger, despair, and pain among many others into dark and oppressive soundscapes. ANTROPOMORPHIA were originally spawned from the foul stench of death in the Dutch city of Tilburg in 1990. At the time, they were pioneers, which soon turned them into a corner stone of the brutal music scene in the Netherlands. Despite the occasional hiatus, ANTROPOMORPHIA continuously cemented their status as underground icons with a string of acclaimed releases. Their uncompromising approach and ever expanding vortex of musical textures has brought a continuously growing influx of black metal elements into the musical and visual DNA of the Dutch. Now ANTROPOMORPHIA are returning with "Devoid of Light" to show the world that they are still hungry to push the limits of the death metal scene to new frontiers. Crank the volume up to 10 and let this album rip!

1. The Withering Stench of Hope

Deserted Fear - Veins Of Fire 11.52 $

Fri, 08 May 2026 02:50:05 +0200

On "Veins of Fire", DESERTED FEAR have again driven their songwriting, sound, and musical prowess into new territories. While remaining true to their trademarks, riffing and melodies yet also the drumming have been given an update, while vocalist Manuel "Mahne" Glatter extended his range even further. The lyrics on "Veins of Fire" reveal DESERTED FEAR as a band very much concerned and engaged with the most relevant contemporary issues without any urge to preach or to demand conformity. The songs on this album reflect a world full of insecurity, injustice, and growing divisions. The rise of death metal trio DESERTED FEAR is both remarkable and thrilling. When the band was founded in the most appropriately named Thuringian city of Eisenberg (Iron Mountain), guitarist and vocalist Manuel "Mahne" Glatter, guitarist and main songwriter as well as producer Fabian Hildebrandt, and drummer Simon Mengs did probably not anticipate to end up at the forefront of the German scene. Their debut album "My Empire", which was produced by Swedish legend Dan Swanö, hit the death metal crowd hard in 2012. DESERTED FEAR's beastly force, thunderous riffs, pummelling drums, and blood-curdling vocals with an uncanny knack for captivating melodies became immediately apparent. With each new album, the balance shifted steadily to the melodic side, yet the band never lost its vicious bite. "Kingdom of Worms" (2014), "Dead Shores Rising" (2017), "Drowned by Humanity" (2019), and "Doomsday" (2022) all turned out as impressive milestones of DESERTED FEAR's still upward moving career. With "Veins of Fire", DESERTED FEAR open a new chapter in their impressive musical career. Although the respect for their deep death metal roots remains easily audible, the levels of confidence and mastery displayed in the songwriting as well as an avalanche of hooks take "Veins of Fire" up on a new level.

Tracklist:
01. Into The Burning Lands
02. The Truth

What is best in death metal? Cool riffs and awesome vocals. Pounding drums and lyrics about horror movies. With their sophomore full-length, "Those of the Morbid", LEPER COLONOY deliver exactly what any adherent of classic death metal craves. This is hardly a surprise, given the scene icons behind this international act: LEPER COLONY came out of the wedding of German and Swedish death metal styles with classic American influences. This happened, when German vocalist Marc Grewe and Swedish guitarist Rogga Johansson decided to expand their friendship of many years and mutual love for old school death metal into creating an album together in 2020. The duo enlisted CONSUMPTION drummer Jon Skäre and lead-guitarist Kjetil Lyngahug (PAGANIZER) to record their self-titled debut album, which was released in 2023. The record was well received by critics and fans alike as it was obviously not just another 'super project', but a congregation of die-hard death metal fanatics coming up with a host of fresh ideas. German vocalist Marc Grewe has long-established his name as the former frontman of MORGOTH, and later with INSIDIOUS DISEASE as well as with the band ASINHELL. Guitarist and bass player Rogga Johansson has left a massive mark on Swedish death metal in a host of bands including PAGANIZER, RIBSPREADER, and REVOLTING. WOMBBATH guitarist Håkan Stuvemark has taken over lead guitar as a new member and he was joined by British drummer Jon Rudin, who is well-known from MONSTROUS and DEAD SUN among several other death metal acts. With "Those of the Morbid", LEPER COLONOY give old school death metal fanatics the very brutal and uncompromising album that they have been waiting for!
