On the debut LP from this shrewdly named Danish duo, the usually clear-cut boundary between apocalyptic, sludgy blackened death metal and dark urban trap-rap is thrillingly pulverised. Lines of musical convention are further blurred by disarmingly emotive and intimate vocal lines, and a vibrant sound picture heaving with glacial synths and hypnotic sonic details. At first it might daunt and confuse those who like their boundaries clear-cut, but at the heart of Gradience's brash and radical new sound is an authentic and heartwarming new friendship. In 2022, guitarist Jakob Harris and vocalist Gavin Mistry struck up an immediate creative rapport at a Copenhagen show for local deathcore heroes Cabal. Although from very different backgrounds - Jakob a visual artist and musician playing in "a popcore band", Gavin a main player "in different hip-hop constellations" - they quickly found common ground in an area both were keen to explore.

/Grammy nominated, yet still bloodied and unbowed, HATEBREED has never been more important and influential than now. With millions of records sold and Spotify numbers that rival time-honored “hits”, the Bridgeport, CT - born hardcore band has spent the last three decades not merely navigating but shaping the sound of heavy music. In a world where the hardcore scene they helped spawn has never been bigger. Hatebreed is on fire.
Produced by long-time collaborator, Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Queensryche) HATEBREED’s ninth album and BLKIIBLK Records debut, Fatal Paradox, finds vocalist Jamey Jasta and crew reemerging after six years between releases with an album of blunt force HATEBREED anthems. Kicking off with “Kill Count Increase”, a song as vitriolic and unforgiving as crowd-churners like “Looking Down the Barrel of Today”, thensmashing into the likes of “Decisions Become Destinies” and “Total Invincible”, Fatal Paradox is the sound of HATEBREED doing what it does best. Even now, nearly 35 years into their bloody run, they are as fervored as ever, scorching festival stages including France’s Hellfest, Germany’s Wacken and numerous Danny Wimmer Presents festivals in the US. In 2026, Hatebreed isn't merely an icon of hardcore and extreme music, they remain a force unto themselves.

Since the 1980s, Cleveland has been a fertile breeding ground for outstanding heavy metal. Ohio-based multi-instrumentalist Andrew Della Caga proudly continues that tradition. Over the years, he has been involved in more than half a dozen bands, including Brimstone Coven and Icarus Witch. His main creative outlet, however, has always been Ironflame, a project in which he writes the music and lyrics, performs nearly all the instruments, and handles the vocals himself. Formed in 2016, Ironflame has released five critically acclaimed full-length albums and built a loyal following along the way. The latest chapter in Ironflame's story, Worlds to Conquer, is another powerful statement from one of modern heavy metal's most dedicated and prolific underground artists.

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.

"True Heavy Metal Leaders Malamorte return with their terrifying 9th album & the Horror-Metal Spectacle of 2026! Following the success of the critically acclaimed horror-metal masterpiece "Omen", Italian occult metal masters Malamorte once again descend into the cursed mythology of the legendary Omen saga with the dark and cinematic new album "Omen II"! Led by Italian metal icon Alessandro Nunziati, Malamorte has become one of the most distinctive forces in modern horror metal, blending True Heavy Metal, Thrash and Occult Rock into a uniquely sinister and theatrical sound. Through nine albums of crushing riffs, occult atmosphere and horror-inspired storytelling, the band continues to push deeper into epic darkness. Serving as the direct successor to 2022's "Omen", the new album is inspired by the 1978 cult horror classic "Damien: Omen II". Continuing the apocalyptic storyline established on it's predecessor, "Omen II" follows the rise of Damien Thorn as he fully embraces his destiny as the Antichrist. More than simply a tribute, "Omen II" functions as a complete horror-metal soundtrack to the film itself, capturing it's paranoia, violence and apocalyptic atmosphere through massive riffs, haunting melodies and cinematic tension. Expanding upon the sound of it's predecessor, "Omen II" delivers darker atmospheres, sharper songwriting and some of Malamorte's most memorable choruses to date. Influences ranging from King Diamond, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Death SS remain ever-present, yet the sound is unmistakably Malamorte - dark, catchy, epic and malevolent. "Omen II" stands as another towering achievement in modern horror metal soundtrack to the film itself, capturing it's paranoia, violence and apocalyptic atmosphere through massive riffs, haunting melodies and cinematic tension.

Songwriter and vocalist Peppi Marchello was the founder of the legendary Long Island hard rock/AOR outfit The Good Rats. The band amassed an enormous regional following but never managed to break through on a nationwide scale. By 1984, The Good Rats were history, and Peppi Marchello turned his attention to a solo album. Before long, Marchello teamed up with his son Gene, an up-and-coming guitarist in his own right. The project was initially intended to be called Popzarocca, but CBS Records felt it was wiser for Marchello senior to remain behind the scenes as songwriter and producer, placing the spotlight on Gene as the band's guitarist and vocalist. In March 1989, Marchello's debut album Destiny hit the shelves, combining high-quality AOR and melodic heavy rock with Gene's impressive fretboard skills. The song "First Love" was chosen as the lead single and received heavy rotation on MTV. Today, Destiny is widely regarded as a forgotten gem of the genre. However, this was not the end of Marchello's journey. The band soon began work on a second album, with songs such as "Every Man's Lover," "Wall of Paper," and the epic "All God's Angels" slated for release by CBS in 1991. Ultimately, the album's release was canceled by the label for reasons unknown. Thanks to High Roller Records, listeners can now finally hear Power of Money and discover for themselves that it is as good as Marchello's debut album - if not better.

Rarely has a debut album sounded as complete and sophisticated as ""Hjarta"" from MAUNAH. The Danish doom newcomers seemingly just appear out of the blue to deliver a modern doom metal masterpiece! Well, MAUNAH consists of veterans of the Danish rock, folk, and metal scenes such as Søren Sol Koldsen-Zederkof. The popular frontman has toured extensively with the beloved Nordic folk band KRAUKA, and he has also released several critically acclaimed albums under the artist's name LOS. The band chemistry is just right, all the stars aligned - and remarkable talent, fresh musical ideas as well as mature songwriting flowed together naturally in MAUNAH. Although the roots of ""Hjarta"" reach deep into the melodic Scandinavian doom tradition, there is so much more happening on this album. A dash of Nordic folk here, a pinch of modern metal there, which is boosted by renowned producer Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, MOONSPELL, HEAVEN SHALL BURN et al.) being responsible for recording the groove parts with the Danes' rhythm section. With each new spin, ""Hjarta"" keeps giving as MAUNAH have crammed their album with excellent ideas and layers of details. In the Danes' own poetic words: ""Maunah is the sound of despair and open skies. Maunah is leaves crunching underfoot, the cold of the forest floor seeping through the soles. And Maunah is the warmth of the sun on the face and oxygen filling the lungs."" With ""Hjarta"", MAUNAH offer a remarkable debut that goes well beyond the average and exceeds expectations. How far can these Danes get? Tracklist: 1. Heimaland 2. Solin Vaugna 3. Theinajau 4. Saivør 5. Vætna 6. Hjarta UPC: 884388898301Label: ProphecyRelease Date: 9.18.26Format: CD
