You are in for the furious thrashing of a lifetime, kids! What is frowned upon for good reasons in education these days, remains a great prospect for headbangers and metalheads of all ages. And Space Chaser deliver big time with their fourth studio album ""Razorblade Bay"". This album comes with everything that the discerning thrash metal gentleman might wish to hear these days: classic thrash riffing with a particular German leaning, and distant echoes of KREATOR, SODOM, and DESTRUCTION are always appreciated, yet there is also a dash of punk-ish energy and spirit as well as some speed metal bravado in their bespoke sonic garment. In short: in your face! At this point, it shall be duly noted that this galactic battleship is co-piloted in the producer's seat by none other than Andy Brings of SODOM-fame. Space Chaser add their own musical embroidery and their distinct lyrical stitching brings science fiction stories to life. Of course, not the boring technical stuff but rather the exciting horror aspects of the genre. Prepare to be devoured by giant space worms. Space Chaser are more than ready to jump into hyperspace with their new thrashing engine made by ""Razorblade Bay"" Inc. On Planet Berlin! Fasten your belt buckles and hold on tight for a furious ride into a headbanging frenzy! Tracklist: 1. Razorblade Bay 2. Mind Melting Machine 3. We Are The Night 4. No Gods, No Dawn 5. 8 Minutes 6.

"THROAT SLAVE" marks a significant evolution for SQUID PISSER. While retaining the band's volatility and sonic intensity, the material reveals a broader emotional range. Groove, atmosphere, and dynamic tension play a larger role than ever before, creating space for the band's most immersive and fully realized work to date."Throat Slave" also represents the first SQUID PISSER release to prominently feature the creative contributions of guitarists Michael Armendariz and Raz Azraai, whose songwriting and performances help expand the band's sonic vocabulary while preserving it's uniquely unstable identity.Side A unfolds through five compositions that navigate paranoia, confrontation, self-examination, and release. Beneath the record's recurring imagery of vermin, tumorous growths, leeches, and bodily decay lies a more universal struggle: reclaiming one's identity from manipulation, illusion, and the stories imposed by others. THROAT SLAVE is ultimately a record about emergence - about recognizing uncomfortable truths and finding clarity in their wake.If Side A documents the organism, Side B documents it's mutation.Remix artists, including queer-cult icon PLACK BLAGUE, minimalistic noise-pop duo HYPER GAL, DRUMCORPS, FARTBARF, Ecology: HomeStones, dj Embryonic Petit Sac, and ZENI GEVA's KK NULL (with an exclusive CD-Only Track) dismantle and reconstruct the original material into electronic hallucinations, industrial rituals, mutant dance music, and psychedelic fever dreams. Rather than functioning as bonus material, the remixes operate as a second act, transforming familiar themes into entirely new forms.Accompanied by the luminous and deeply unsettling artwork of Bora Murmure, THROAT SLAVE occupies a space somewhere between nightmare and revelation. Like the glowing figure depicted on it's cover, the record emerges from darkness transformed - beautiful, disturbing, and impossible to fully explain.Squid Pisser features members of GWAR, Duck Duck Goose & Starcrawler. Produced by Tommy Meehan and Toshi Kaisai, mixed by Ben Greenberg and mastered by Alan Douches.

Having balanced tradition and innovation for over three decades, Taake remains fiercely independent whilecontinually pushing it's own creative boundaries. That uncompromising vision finds new expression on the ninth full-length album, en Skog av Nidstang.Past years of increasing isolation for songwriter Hoest. Detached from contemporary trends and largely removedfrom the influence of other music, his creative drive has only intensified, resulting in four expansive compositionsthat flow naturally from the inspired mindset behind 2023's critically acclaimed Et Hav av Avstand.The recordings for en Skog av Nidstang were completed south of Bergen, in the moss-covered forests around theisland of Borgoy. In the surroundings depicted by the ill-fated Norwegian painter Lars Hertervig, Taake embracedthe focused seclusion of the landscape, relying less on modern technology or studio excess, but on intuition,confinement, creativity, and a mastery of the rudimentary tools of the trade.And it sounds unmistakably like Taake. Reckless thrashing riffs mix with brooding gloom, chilling melodies emergefrom violent intensity, and moments of desolate reflection give way to untamed aggression. The result is an albumthat celebrates the enduring power of an unyielding artistic vision; proof that, after 33 years, Taake remains asvital, distinctive, and relevant as ever.

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!

After five years of gestation Thætas return with an auditory statement for their moment in time, the new album The Irredeemable Age on Profound Lore Records. The Irredeemable Age shows the band both refining and intensifying the brutal death metal approach from their debut album, Shrines to Absurdity, while deepening their explorations into the bizarre, the uncharted and even the avant-garde. The result is a dynamic mosaic of obsessively dark, organic, off-kilter and kinetic death metal. The four-piece band hail from the New York region, consisting of drummer Nick Crifo, guitarists Terrell Grannum (Reeking Aura, Buckshot Facelift, Squelching Flesh) & Pat Hawkins (Asystole, Needlepusher, Kyrios, Aberrated) and vocalist / bassist Cory Peterson (37564 Recordings). The album was tracked independently then mixed and mastered by the inimitable Colin Marston.

German up and rising melancholic Heavy Metallers The Night Eternal claim to take the throne with their Metal Blade debut “Cold Velvet†due for release on August 21st, 2026. Since their foundation in 2018 the quintet has built themselves a serious reputation with their 70s and 80s guitar-driven sounds in their very own sinister guise. The band´s previous two full-length “Moonlit Cross†(2021) and “Fatale†(2023) gained applause by fans and critics alike which resulted in successful support tours (Blind Guardian, Michael Schenker Group, Angel Witch, Lucifer) and festival gigs (Wacken, Summer Breeze, Hellfest, Alcatraz a.o.) all over Europe as well as a spot at the infamous Hell´s Heroes fest in Houston, Texas. With “Cold Velvet†the band has ultimately carved out its own subgenre, weaving darkness, dreamlike unease and deep melancholy into a dramatic yet untainted Heavy Metal Rock ’n’ Roll attitude.

Liberation Front is a statement of pure intent from Sydney, Australia's TO THE GRAVE. Brutal and uncompromising in both sound and message, TO THE GRAVE create ugly music for uglier times. They rage against animal cruelty and environmental destruction, translating their death metal-infused deathcore into something unforgettable and utterly uncompromising. From the breakdown-laden assault of opener "MEAT THE HUMANS", Liberation Front is a suffocating return to form for the veganism-espousing quintet. While recent releases explored more hardcore-oriented territory, this album embraces deathcore at its most savage and relentless.Lead single "EYESTALK ABLATIONS" is a devastating statement, accompanied by a video every bit as violent and unforgettable as the music itself. Over the past 15 years, TO THE GRAVE have established themselves among the leading names of Australia's emerging deathcore scene, sharing stages with fellow Australians Thy Art Is Murder as well as international heavyweights including Lorna Shore. The band continues to tour extensively throughout Europe and North America, returning to the US and Canada in Fall 2026 alongside Crown Magnetar. Liberation Front is more than an album—it is a musical and lyrical call to arms, designed not only to rage against the machine but to educate, provoke and challenge listeners on every level.

Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction, The Cursed) teamed up with Nathan Opposition (Ancient VVisdom) to form a musical project called Vessel Of Light. The duo entered Brainchild Studios in Cleveland to record their debut during Summer 2017. Lorenzo has issued the following update, "I decided to write about the band in NU's Steppin' Out magazine and I mailed Nathan Opposition (Ancient Wisdom's singer) a magazine and I think an old Hades CD. We started communicating by email and then on the phone. I had no intentions of asking him to write with me because my musical career was long over. I'm considerably older than him and honestly I wasn't playing guitar much, but when Nathan asked me if I wanted to write together I couldn't say no."Nathan Opposition says, "Lorenzo and I became friends due to my inability to not be susceptible to flattery. Turns out he's a really cool guy who writes awesome riffs too. Randomly one day I ask him about the band we are starting in joking fashion. I guess it was the right timing and the right person because we immediately agreed we should actually start a project. Before I knew it he was sending me CDs of riffs and I had lyrics flowing like a faucet."Vessel of Light went on to record four more albums that would be released world-wide, Woodshed, Thy Serpent Rise and Last Ride. However, the debut EP, which is now a full-length album, was only ever released in Europe on a small Italian label. Now in 2026 NoLifeTilMetal Records brings new life to the debut album with fresh remastering by Rob Colwell (Nevermore, Flotsam & Jestam, King's X, Hades) and new packaging with lyrics, liner notes and photos.
