For their new album Scour Order, their sixteenth release, Krallice comes full circle and returns to Profound Lore (who initially released the band's first three releases) with a new album that is raging and dark, dense but also expansive. One that slightly recalls the earlier phase of the band yet continues in the forward-thinking/next level singular sonic histrionics that the band have continued to expand and morph upon throughout the years. While the band have been experimenting more with their sound (band members switching roles, the band diving into more ambient and experimental territory etc.) over the last little while, Scour Order sees Krallice tether slightly back to more of a progressive black metal aura akin to the first four albums.

Formed in Essen, Germany in 1982, Kreator are arguably the most influential and successful European thrash metal band ever; like many of their European speed metal brethren, Kreator fused Metallica's thrash innovations with Venom's proto-black metal imagery. Kreator has been referred to as one of the "Big 4" of Teutonic thrash metal, and they are often credited with helping pioneer death metal and black metal by containing several elements of what was to become those genres. The band has achieved worldwide sales of over two million units for combined sales of all their albums, making them one of the best-selling German thrash metal bands of all time. Kreator's style has changed several times over the years, from a Venom-inspired speed metal sound, later moving in to thrash metal, and including a period of transitioning from thrash to industrial metal and gothic metal throughout the 1990s. In the early 2000s, Kreator returned to their classic thrash sound, which has continued to the present. Pleasure to Kill, the second studio album by Kreator, was originally released in November 1986 by Noise Records. The lyrical themes follow those found on their first album. Still considered the band's first "classic" album, Pleasure to Kill raised the bar with more diversity of tempos and greater attention to technical execution, while losing nothing in terms of ferocity or speed. The band closed out the year with the Flag of Hate EP (named after a re-recorded version of their earliest hit) which is included on this version. Many death metal bands cite this album as an influence. Pleasure to Kill is widely considered a thrash classic. It is also considered a landmark album in the history of thrash metal along with Master of Puppets by Metallica, Reign In Blood by Slayer and Darkness Descends by Dark Angel, all released in 1986.

Lantlos capture 'The Unfathomable Lightness of Being' like hardly any other band that started out under the influence of black metal at what now feels like a million years earlier. On their sixth studio album, "Nowhere in Between Forever", mastermind and sole musician Markus Skye (formerly known as Markus Siegenhort aka Herbst) takes the general direction of it's predecessor "Wildhund" ("Wild Dog") at least one step further. "Nowhere in Between Forever" offers a spiritual trip into the glittering world of the Nineties, when everything seemed somehow easy and possible. The album offers a collection of hit songs that are rooted in the current Lantlos sound, to which it adds elements from the digital sonic sphere that started to expand drastically during the final decade of the last millennium. On the other hand, it would be doing this album massive injustice to view it as pure nostalgia. As Skye notes, there is a hollow plastic feeling that is deliberately built into "Nowhere in Between Forever" and subtly casts a foreboding shadow of darker times to come. These musical plot-twists connect the easy-going, seemingly sunny and even poppy alternative rock and metal tracks to the black past of Lantlos. With "Nowhere in Between Forever", Lantlos confirm both the stylistic trajectory taken with the last two albums and their remarkable ability to create captivating tunes and beautiful melodies with a nearly frightening ease. Trigger warning: "Nowhere in Between Forever" contains only beautiful killers and no fillers!

Last Remains took shape around 1989/1990 after guitarist Adam Tranquilli parted ways with New Jersey thrashers BLOOD FEAST, joining forces with former KILLIGY drummer Adam Kieffer, Bob McLynn on bass, and initial vocalist Rich Caputo. The group set out to develop a heavy-yet-melodic sound that would remain powerful without venturing toward the "balls-out speed thrashing" Tranquilli had explored with BLOOD FEAST.In 1991, the quartet's debut two-song demo was recorded at Waterfront Studio with Doug Conroy (who had handled some of the BLOOD FEAST recordings, JERSEY DOGS, etc.), after which Caputo was replaced with a mysterious new singer referred to as simply O.T. This lineup tracked 1992's six-song Grasp for Existence demo at Studio E in Garfield, NJ with David Derr, becoming a bit more diverse and technical, unconcerned with any particular boundaries.O.T. seemingly vanished prior to another six-song demo,... And Then There Were Three, once more laid down with David Derr at Studio E in 1993. Now operating as a trio with Tranquilli and McLynn splitting lead vocal duties, this material represented a significant shift toward a more aggressive, groove-tinged brand of thrash, though not without the atypical twists and turns of Last Remains' prior compositions.Shortly after it's release, the band was quickly signed to Pavement Music, decided upon a name change to HEADLOCK, and ultimately issued a lone full-length, It Found Me, the following year. This iteration would continue into the mid-'90s, at which point Tranquilli left, HEADLOCK morphed into a project called TRIGGERFISH, and then-with only McLynn remaining- THE STEP KINGS. Thus, not entirely lost to time, Last Remains/HEADLOCK was able to leave a proper mark on the scene, both through their recordings and having been able to perform live alongside a range of acts from HADES, KREATOR, and OVERKILL to MADBALL, M.O.D. and PRONG.Now, over three decades later, Divebomb Records is excited to resurrect the complete recorded history of Last Remains - including two of the rarest bonus tracks - in the form of the 17-song Grasp for Existence: The Demo Anthology CD. Newly remastered by Jamie King Audio, the collection will be housed with a 20-page booklet jammed-tight with lyrics, photos, flyers, and a retrospective interview with Adam Tranquilli. For the fans, by the fans!

2026 release. Intense and intensely personal, The Dead Ones marks The Last Ten Seconds of Life's Metal Blade label debut. For the 10 original tracks of pulverizing deathcore produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania's Atrium Audio, the band focused on "the guitar/bass/drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve a super-thick sonic output and 'rolling-tank'-like feel," guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin explains. Four stellar guests are featured on the album - "Make It to Heaven" has David Simonich of Signs of the Swarm; Nate Johnson, ex-Fit For an Autopsy, appears on "Rat Trap;" "Dollar to a Dime" has Alan Grnja of Distant; and "XXXXXXXXXX" features original TLTSOL vocalist Storm Strope.

Dresden-based black/thrash newcomers Lead Injector present their debut album, Witching Attack. This uncompromising homage to classic extreme metal was recorded in seven intense days in August 2025 at Stereoid Studios in Schönfels, Saxony. Founded in 2022, the trio is the first serious band for all three members after experiences in solo projects and school ensembles, and quickly found a place in the local scene with their 2024 demo From the Crypts... of Hell. Witching Attack now combines new recordings of demo tracks with fresh material. With Witching Attack, Lead Injector are making a statement: extreme metal with recognition value, authentically produced and carried by the energy of a hungry young band that will play a decisive role in shaping the scene in the future.

Leatherwitch is a new Heavy Metal band formed by vocalist and multi- instrumentalist Marta Gabriel. She disbanded her band CRYSTAL VIPER in the fall of 2025. The band toured in more than 20 countries, conquered the stages of major festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Hellfest or Keep It True, and left a legacy of 9 studio albums. CRYSTAL VIPER's farewell live album entitled "The Live Quest", came out in June 2025 on Listenable records. Marta Gabriel comments : The end of CRYSTAL VIPER didn't mean the end of my musical journey, rather something totally opposite, it literally was "The New Beginning". I'm a super creative person, I write music in different styles all the time. I'm a big, big fan of the very traditional and classic Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, this is what inspires me all the time. (...) And whenever a path ends, there's a new path or even a few paths to follow. One of those new paths is called Leatherwitch, and it took me to the very basic and pure Heavy Metal. I wouldn't call it "old school", as I didn't try to play or achieve the retro vibe over here - but it is indeed very classic sounding, raw, and full of the original Heavy Metal energy. Leatherwitch's debut album 'First spell' will let the listener encounter some sparkling riffs and solos accompanied by what is surely the most convincing vocal performance of Marta's career. Every track comes loud with it's own clarity yet with a raw vibe thanks to refined production. Marta continues : "First Spell" as the album title is a play of words: if I'm this Heavy Metal witch wearing leather, holding a flying V guitar, playing loud and proud, then why not to call the first album "First Spell", since it's the first official full length release. There is no actual concept behind the lyrics on the new album, they are like short stories about what inspires me, about what was or is happening in my life, and about events II witnessed or which I was part of. So some of the lyrics have deeper or more symbolic personal meeting, while the others are fun stories related to classic Gothic Horror or playing D&D. Leatherwitch 'Beast inside' digital single is out now and it's limited edition debut 7inch version is available 'First Spell' CD version features a scorching rendition of Helloween 'Walls of Jericho/ Ride the Sky' and the vinyl version contains a cover of Manowar's crushing classic 'Black Wind Fire and Steel' as exclusive bonus tracks. The Witch is Dead, Long Live the Witch ! Leatherwitch 'First Spell' was mixed by Olof Wikstrand (ENFORCER), and features special guest, guitarist Giuseppe Taormina (ELLENDE, ex-CRYSTAL VIPER).

From the mind of Gore Metal pioneer Matt Harvey, LEFT TO DIE pays homage to Chuck Schuldiner's revolutionary Metal band, DEATH.
Initium Mortis, the upcoming new album from LEFT TO DIE, sees the DEATH-inspired supergroup—including original DEATH members Terry Butler (OBITUARY) and Rick Rozz (MASSACRE)—joining Harvey (EXHUMED, GRUESOME) and Gus Rios (GRUESOME) to capture DEATH's deep, die-hard-only catalog.
Featuring tracks like Arcangel, Witch of Hell, and Legion of Doom expertly executed in the now, Initium Mortis is a must-have for DEATH fans and collectors alike.
"For Initium Mortis we wanted Death fans who had never heard these demo songs to hear them with good production," says Harvey. "Most of these early demos were poor quality, often recorded on a boom box, so by the time someone got a demo through tape trading it was almost inaudible!
We think these tracks are a good representation of the birth of Mantas/Death. This is ground zero - where it all started: three 15 year-old kids creating Death Metal history, and even within these choice cuts from the demo days you can hear the evolution of the music."
"Left To Die went from a thought to doing a full US tour in about 3 months! Pretty remarkable if you ask me," says Butler. "We wanted to play the early material for the fans that weren't able to see the first albums in a live setting. There are many young fans at our shows that are hearing the foundation that DEATH stands on to this day live for the first time! With Matt channeling the best Chuck Schuldiner out there and Gus playing the material perfectly and respectfully we hit the road and haven't looked back."
Ultimately, LEFT TO DIE celebrates a seminal band and the camaraderie of the genre's most extreme corner of music. "First off I would like to thank Gus, Matt and Terry for making Left To Die happen. It's been an honor and pleasure working with them for the past few years and beyond," says Rozz. "It's really cool to be able to hear these tunes from 1984 properly! Old-school Death fans are going to dig this release. Cheers & Peace."

When Programmed landed in 1990, Kentucky's Lethal delivered an album that many hailed as "the best Queensrÿche record since Operation: Mindcrime." Blending the muscle of American power metal with the sophistication of melodic heavy metal, the band achieved songs that combine intelligence, melody, and might in perfect balance.Frontman Tom Mallicoat commands every moment with soaring, expressive vocals, while brothers Eric and Glen Cook drive the music with dynamic twin-guitar harmonies and intricate arrangements. From the opening firestorm "Fire in Your Skin" to the title track "Programmed" and the emotional centerpiece "Another Day", the album never falters-each song delivering technical mastery and heartfelt conviction. Remastered by Rob Colwell and presented in a jewel case with a 12-page photo/lyric booklet, this Metal Icon Series edition restores Programmed with vivid clarity and punch. For fans of Queensrÿche, Fates Warning, Crimson Glory, and Helloween, this is one of the defining melodic metal releases of it's era-timeless, powerful, and fully realized.

With "Arcane Past: The Celestial Grimoire", Limbonic Art deliver the ultimate testament of their early years. This massive 8-CD legacy artbook collects all the Norwegian black metal cult band's classic works from demos to first albums as well as the previously unreleased "1994 Demo". Founded in 1993, Limbonic Art released their debut album "Moon in the Scorpio" in 1996 via Nocturnal Art Productions, the label of EMPEROR guitarist Samoth aka Tomas Thormodsæter Haugen, after the band's early tapes had captured his ear. The band's, at the time, quite unique combination of harsh Nordic black metal with cinematic elements inspired by romantic and classic orchestral music proved extremely influential in the following years. Limbonic Art have always been an elusive creation that rarely appeared live, for example with a stunning performance at the Black Whitsun sub-festival of the doomed millennium year edition of the Wave Gotik Treffen (2000) in Leipzig, Germany. In the new century, Daemon also joined ZYKLON for a while, but in February 2003, Limbonic Art officially broke up. However, Daemon reformed the band in 2006. After another extended period of silence, the Norwegian cult act made an acclaimed comeback with their ninth full-length "Opus Daemoniacal" in 2024. "Arcane Past: The Celestial Grimoire" is closing the circle and offers Limbonic Art's complete classics and rarities for the first time collected on CD.

From the midnight shadows to the blazing stage lights, Lizzy Borden has always thrived on spectacle and sound. The Best of Lizzy Borden, Vol. 2 captures that spirit in full force - 16 tracks from 2004-2018 that prove the band's ability to evolve while never losing their razor-edged theatrical fire. Vol. 2 picks up where 1994's Best of Lizzy' Borden leaves off, containing 12 tracks that showcase the Deal with the Devil (2000), Appointment with Death (2007) and My Midnight Things (2018) albums.Housed in a jewel case with an 8-page booklet of lyrics and photos, this release has been digitally remastered by Tom Baker (Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Judas Priest, Stone Temple Pilots), with additional CD engineering by Rob Colwell.Exclusive to this edition are two cover songs - "Pet Sematary" (The Ramones) and "Burnin' For You" (Blue Öyster Cult) - making their first appearance on physical format, along with two rare Starwood tracks, "Won't Back Down" and "Subculture", originally from the album If It Ain't Broke, Break It (recently reissued on vinyl by Brutal Planet Records).More than a retrospective, this is a dramatic statement of Lizzy Borden's modern era. With exclusive material, a powerful remaster, and collector-grade packaging, this CD offers the definitive experience - but with only 1000 copies available, it won't stay in the shadows for long.TRACKSMy Midnight Things (from My Midnight Things, 2018)Long May They Haunt Us (from My Midnight Things, 2018)Tomorrow Never Comes (from Appointment With Death, 2007)Obsessed With You (from My Midnight Things, 2018)(This Ain't) The Summer of Love - originally by Blue Öyster Cult (from Deal With The Devil, 2008)Under Your Skin (from Appointment With Death, 2007)Lovin' You Is Murder (from Deal With The Devil, 2008)The Scar Across My Heart (from My Midnight Things, 2018)There Will Be Blood Tonight (from Deal With The Devil, 2008)We Only Come Out At Night (from Deal With The Devil, 2008)Abnormal (from Appointment With Death, 2007)Live Forever (from Appointment With Death, 2007)Won't Back Down (from Starwood - If It Ain't Broke, Break It, 2004)Subculture (from Starwood - If It Ain't Broke, Break It, 2004)Pet Sematary - originally by The Ramones (exclusive, first time on physical format)Burnin' For You - originally by Blue Öyster Cult (exclusive, first time on physical format)

Lockhart is a new melodic rock/AOR band from Canada, fusing synthesizer-fueled '80s arena rock with classic hard rock. The trio consists of Devon Kerr (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Jason Junop (bass), and Fabio Alessandrini (drums). Jason is best known for his work with Cauldron and Goat Horn. Devon's main band is Axxion, while Fabio plays-or has played-in Bonfire, Enforcer, Annihilator, Hardline, and many others. Lockhart released their debut EP, No Chance, in 2022, followed by the single "City Pulse" in 2025. The band has since signed with High Roller Records, and their first full-length album, City Pulse, is ready to be unleashed upon the public. It's hard to describe Lockhart's specific sound in detail, but City Pulse clearly showcases influences from Journey, Boston, Toto, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, and perhaps even Starcastle. Tracks such as "The Dose That Made You Poison," "Under Fire," "Before the Fall," and "Together as None" are well constructed and flawlessly performed.

LORD OF THE LOST bring their ambitious album trilogy to a brilliant finale with OPVS NOIR Vol. 3. A direct continuation of OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, which were both unveiled in 2025, it releases on April 10, 2026 and gloriously expands on the genre-defying band’s opus. The most out of the box of the three, the third and final part of their latest journey has the six-piece end this chapter of their career on a fulminant high note, intertwining heavy guitars and dark electronica with compassionate messages and cinematic orchestrals. Another 11 enchanting songs extend the Hamburg-based band’s colorful repertoire. Following the captivating BLOOD & GLITTER, which brought them to the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and a #1 chart entry in their native Germany to go along with it, LORD OF THE LOST once again demonstrate their unmatched diversity. Initiated by beautiful cello melodies, “Kill The Lights” is an overture like no other, setting a dark mood, but also unafraid to switch it up to make room for catchy and reassuring “I’m A Diamond” featuring Alea, frontman of German medieval metal torchbearers SALTATIO MORTIS. “My Funeral”, despite the name, picks up the positive message, expanding the near-gothic soundscapes while sprinkling in tongue-in-cheek lyrics, promoting black as a happy color – wear pink to their funeral! Stomping “I Hate People” invites horror punk icon WEDNESDAY 13 to an industrial duet about equality, after which gentle “The Shadows Within” hits twice as hard with its symphonic arrangement. Next, Chris Harms and parting KISSIN’ DYNAMITE frontman Hannes Braun deliver the bombastic “La Vie Est Hell” (based on Charles Baudelaire’s influential book of poetry, “Les Fleurs du mal”) partly in French language, before going back to “Square One”. “When Did The Love Break?” is a heartfelt song of lost love – the addition of whimsical vocals by Ambre Vourvahis of XANDRIA drives the emotions of this universal topic right home. After “Your Love Is Colder Than Death”, LORD OF THE LOST team up with Damien Edwards of British glam rock band CATS IN SPACE for the captivating duet “Take Me Far Away”, before the album closes with a ballad, “The Days Of Our Lives” – the sweeping track simultaneously being the closest LORD OF THE LOST have ever been to a cinematic soundtrack. The happy ending is skipped, almost making it sound like a goodbye… OPVS NOIR Vol. 3 continues to walk LORD OF THE LOST’s unpredictable journey without settling for the familiar. Rounding off an impressive trilogy, this record takes you by the hand and guides you along your darkest paths. OPVS NOIR Vol. 3: the trilogy is finally concluded.
