With their new opus Liturgy of Death, MAYHEM reaffirm their status as the most uncompromising force in Norwegian Black Metal. After four decades of extremity, the band has reached a new apex of darkness: faster, fiercer, and more sinister than anything in their recent catalog. The album unfolds as a relentless meditation on death in all its manifestations – existential, spiritual, and absolute. From the furious chaos of “Despair” and “Funeral of Existence” to the bleak grandeur of “Ephemeral Eternity” and “Aeon’s End”, each track drags the listener deeper into a ritual of misery and transcendence. “Propitious Death” and “The Sentence of Absolution intertwine brutality with ominous atmosphere, while “Life Is a Corpse You Drag” and “Sancta Mendacia” leave no doubt that Mayhem remain unmatched in channeling despair into sound. With Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila, Teloch, and Ghul locked into a unit tighter than ever, Liturgy of Death presents a band not content to rest on legacy but determined to push the boundaries of extremity itself. The result is a merciless record – dark, fast, and unrelenting – that captures Mayhem in their most dangerous and vital form. Forty years since their birth in Langhus, MAYHEM continue to embody chaos, proving once more that Norwegian Black Metal is a force without end.

After two co-headling tours over the past decade, (the) Melvins are continuing their long tradition with us of teaming up with another band on an album. Next up- Napalm Death! This isn't just some split release with the bands each getting a side. Savage Imperial Death March is a full collab with both Melvins & Napalm Death playing together on all 8 tracks.
This release originally came out in super limited CD and Vinyl via AmRepin 2025 (tour and AmRep store only). This will be an extended version with 2 extra songs, brand new artwork from Mackie Osborne, new vinyl variants, and will be the official release for the first time at record stores, DSPs and more. Napalm Death are credited as pioneers of the grindcore genre by incorporating elements of crust punk and death metal. Even after exerting an indelible influence in the entire world of. heavy music for nearly 40 years, there is still no band on Earth that sounds like Naplam Death. Not just pioneers, but an enduring benchmark for invention and fearlessness in a heavy and experimental music of all kinds, the Birmingham legends are still hurtling forward at full pelt.
The Melvins are one of modern music's most influential bands. Having formed in 1983, the group - founded by vocalist/guitarist Buzz Osborne, with drummer Dale Crover joining a year later - has been credited with merging the worlds of punk rock and heavy music, forming a new subgenre all their own. Over their 40-plus-year career, they've released more than 30 original albums, numerous live records, and far too many to count singles.

Mindless Sinner began as Purple Haze in 1981. They changed their name to Genocide after singer Christer Göransson joined the band later that year, and by August of 1983, the had reached their final moniker. They recorded a four-track demo entitled Master Of Evil, consisting of: the title track, "Broken Freedom," "Key Of Fortune," and "Screaming For Mercy". This attracted Swedish label Fingerprint Records, who released the NWOBHM-inspired material as a mini-album in January of 1984, but with an awful cover and a typo in the band name that incorrectly pluralized sinner. By then, the line-up of the band was Anders Karlsson (bass), Magnus Danneblad (guitar), Jerker Edman (guitar), Tommy Johansson (drums) and Christer Göransson (vocals). In addition to the four tracks of the original release, this High Roller Records reissue pressing also contains the five songs off the band's first demo tape from early 1983. All nine tracks were mastered by Patrick W. Engel at his Temple Of Disharmony and cutting was done by SST Germany on Neumann machines for maximum quality on all levels. This is the ultimate audiophile re-issue of this Swedish metal classic.

After releasing four demo tapes, Mithotyn finally put out their first full-length album in 1997. "In the Sign of the Ravens" might not quite reach the heights of the band's later releases, but there's still plenty here to enjoy. The album delivers a hard, cold take on Viking Metal, and at this early stage the band hadn't yet fully embraced the stronger melodic elements that would become more prominent on later records. If you're already a fan of Viking or Black Metal, you'll know roughly what to expect: longer songs with some variation, harsh growled vocals balanced with cleaner chorus sections, and a strong sense of atmosphere. It's a familiar formula, but one that works well and captures what makes this style of music so enjoyable. UPC: 8715392263828Label: NapalmRelease Date: 7.3.26Format: CD
For well over a decade, MONOLORD have caused mass riff hypnosis with longform epics steeped in repetition, volume, and heaviness. One of heavy music’s most consistent and beloved bands, MONOLORD are gearing up for their next chapter with a new album titled Neverending.In looking for a new take on the genre, MONOLORD approached the legendary producer Sylvia Massy, known for her work with Tool, System of a Down, and Johnny Cash, among many more. The payoff from this new process is undeniable. Neverending feels like the culmination of 13 years of heavy, molten music, with a keen eye towards creating a sharper album. “The recording of this album is an example of the spirit of MONOLORD’s camaraderie,†says bassist Mika Häkki. “We’ve looked back and seen for the first time how much we have done as a band collectively, and realized what an intense 13 years it has been.â€"The lyrics on this album are more personal than before because I went through some major life changes in the last couple of years,†guitarist/vocalist Thomas Jäger says. “I usually write about religion and how people are superstitious, but this record is more about relationships between people. But it’s not all about me. Sometimes I’m writing from another person’s perspective.â€Neverending’s lead single “You Bastard†offers listeners a sharp contrast: A propulsive groove offset by lyrics about suicide. There’s two sides to suicide,†Jäger points out. “There’s the person who commits suicide and the people who gets left behind...The choruses represent the person left behind, and that person is calling the other a bastard—but it’s not pointing fingers or saying, ‘You suck.’ It’s more like, ‘You left me here with all the bullshit.’ It’s an understanding that life is not easy."Though it might not be immediately obvious, album opener “Iodine†was inspired by 70's rock epics like Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird,†The Eagles’ “Hotel California,†and Led Zeppelin’s “No Quarter." Elsewhere, album closer “It’s Neverending†is the first MONOLORD song that Jäger doesn’t sing on. Instead, the death-metal style vocals are performed by former Entombed bassist Jörgen Sandström, (also of Grave, Domedagen and Firespawn.)13 years on, MONOLORD’s path takes a new turn, and Neverending becomes the band’s most befitting album title. “It's been a wild ride and still is,†says drummer Esben Willems. “I've spent a quarter of my life in this band. Looking back, I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished along the way, and in many ways, this album feels like the essence of everything we've done so far. My mindset is the same it's always been, to be the absolute best the three of us can be.†UPC: 781676763221Label: RelapseRelease Date: 5.29.26Format: CD
Originally founded as a solo project by singer Georg Wilfinger (ex-Miasma) in 2010 in Austria, Monument of Misanthropy has released three studio albums, an EP and a demo up to now. Previous full-length album "Vile Postmortem Irrumatio" was released in August 2024 and drew roaring reviews worldwide.Those relentless purveyors of auditory violence and "Mindhunters" of brutal Death Metal - have crawled back out of the basement with a brand-new full-length slab of extremity entitled 'Washington State Charm'.The new opus is a wholesome little concept album chronicling the coming-of-age story of a serial killer: the awkward upbringing, the early extracurricular activities, and the grand finale on the electric chair, America's probably most prolific serial killer, Ted Bundy.Georg Wilfinger comments : " While we've stayed 100% true to ourselves musically which means constantly reinventing ourselves. We're pretty damn sure you're going to love this new album. We obsessed over every microscopic detail, whether it's a hidden arpeggio, a lyrical pun, or just another described act of unspeakable horror and maybe some truths about Ted you might not even have known yet. This isn't just another death metal record you half-listen to while bench-pressing.It's an experience. A deep look into a very, very sick human being's brain.

Moodring symbolizes transformation. The musical entity’s name hints at volatility—color, emotion, and temperature in flux. Nowhere is that more evident than in death fetish, a defining album for a haunting and defiant new chapter. For founder and frontman Hunter Young, this is more than a record. It’s survival, reflection, and metamorphosis. It is art made from the raw materials of pain, purpose, and persistence. Young conceived Moodring alone, in his bedroom, an exercise in catharsis through art. The resulting debut EP, 2021’s Showmetherealyou, resonated with a surprising number of diverse listeners. That connection inspired Moodring to evolve into a creative outlet that transcended its simple origins. Both sensual and suffocating, the Stargazer album followed in 2022. In a glowing review, Kerrang! praised the full-length as “hefty from the get-go” and likened it to “a cool wave of water lapping over you.” The album’s “vivacious” vocal work and vibe made new Moodring fans around the world. The following year’s EP, Your Light Fades Away, expanded the palette further, fusing ferocity, shimmering melody, and nü-metal groove into something equally cinematic and claustrophobic. The “black-velvet nu-metal melodies and bleak-booming breakdowns” (Revolver) of 2025’s “half-life” were, sadly, inspired by a life-changing medical diagnosis that left Young unable to tour with Moodring or his accomplished deathcore outfit, SharpTone Records labelmates PSYCHO-FRAME.
Unable to tour and unwilling to compromise, Young focused on writing and recording new music. death fetish is the sound of transcendence—an artist refusing to disappear, even as the light fades. For all its darkness, death fetish is not a surrender. It’s a reclamation. It’s Young taking back control of his narrative—body failing, mind racing, still creating, still here. “I just wanted to make a dark, honest record,” he says. “And if people don’t like it, I don’t really care. I had to do it for myself. ”Moodring, once a more traditional band, now exists as something far more elusive and infinite: a vessel for transformation, a mirror for mortality, and a living testament to pain and creation. *** Indie Exclusive ***UPC: 4065629753504Label: Sharptone RecordsRelease Date: 3.27.26Format: CD
With their eighth studio album "Seed of the Formless", THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT have reached a crossroads on their ever changing path. A deliberate and significant sonic mutation has created a leap in their stylistic evolution. While the Hungarian duo's deep roots in ethereal folk remain audible, "Seed of the Formless" marks their conscious journey into the heavier realms of atmospheric post-metal. The Hungarians' embrace of electric guitars and vast synth soundscapes to channel what they describe as a more cosmic and visceral energy, as compared to the whispering of forest and meadows in their musical past, makes perfect sense at this stage of their sonic evolution. As THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT navigate the space between shadow and luminescence, the parallel contrast between the acoustic and the electric as well as their subsequent amalgamation, they unlock the gates to a vast realm of new possibilities. There will always be those who oppose any change, but as true artists THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT acted on their need to evolve further. The result is "Seed of the Formless", which is drawing from atmospheric post-metal and ambient, while the duo's soul remains intact: mystical, yearning, and eternally bound to the infinite!

'Monolitt' is an album that further expands the sonic & atmospheric depth of existing Mork releases; unafraid to challenge the listener, while steadfastly rooted in the cold traditions of the genre. With this uncompromising vision & direction for 'Monolitt', Mork delivers a sound which is brutal yet expansive, whilst also heavy & epic, for a relentless journey through the shadows of Norwegian Black Metal, while forging new paths within that ancient & revered framework. Monolitt' was recorded & performed primarily by Thomas Eriksen, with Asgeir Mickelson supplying drums, plus additional guest vocals coming from Oyvind Kaslegard of 'Svart Lotus'.
