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!

Reissue. At the Gates formed in Gothenburg, 1990, and released 4 highly successful and influential studio albums before the band broke up in 1996, with members featuring in acts such as Cradle of Filth & The Haunted, before later reforming in 2007 for some successful reunion dates across the globe. All-in-all, At The Gates was one of the finest bands to explode out of their native Swedish death metal scene. The debut album 'The Red In The Sky Is Ours' was released in 1992 on Peaceville/Deaf to widespread acclaim; the inclusion of violin sounds ensuring that the album scored points for originality, and was innovatively offset by the intensely brutal yet melodic sound, with standout track 'Kingdom Gone' becoming a universal favourite. 'The Red in the Sky is Ours' is a raw slab of extremity with intense aggression and some highly intricate melodic arrangements, considered a genre classic by many.

The End is Not the End is undeniably Atreyu's heaviest and most adventurous album ever. "We realized what made Atreyu great in the beginning was that we didn't sound like anyone else," frontman Brandon Saller explains. "We didn't really make sense anywhere. We weren't an emo band, a metal band, a punk band - but somehow it all worked. We kind of just carved our own path." Unburdened by false restrictions about anything sounding "too heavy" or "too pop," ATREYU remains a creative beacon of hope for those shaken by the suggestion that "rock is dead." They've entered the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 more than once, and two of their albums are certified gold. Produced by Matt Pauling, Atreyu's tenth album is vibrant, inventive, and beautifully aggressive. "It's our heaviest, most metal record we've made," Saller points out. "But it's also the biggest musical journey we've taken in years."

August Burns Red’s tenth full-length Season of Surrender sees them craft an album that effortlessly integrates the brutal breakdowns of their classic era with instrumental flourishes. “This album is rooted in traditional August Burns Red and I think it’s the heaviest album we’ve written in a long time,” explains vocalist Jake Luhrs. From the technical mastery of “Behemoth” to the unbridled aggression of “Legions” (which features The Devil Wears Prada’s Mike Hranica), Season of Surrender sees August Burns Red further developing their sonic identity while staying true to the band’s roots as metalcore trailblazers.

When German four-piece BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE began to find their bearings on where to go next from the success of their previous full-length, ""Aion"" (2023), the core idea for the fourth album, ""In Between Strides"", was to take a more melodic approach. All else, they would leave to the creative process and somewhat to chance. BEES MADE HONEY recorded every other song on ""In Between Strides"" in various settings that were available to them at the time of creation: a cavernous cellar, a concert stage, an indoor balcony, a living room, their rehearsal space, even returning to the studio where their first album ""Medicine"" was tracked. Through this spontaneous and shifting approach, BEES MADE HONEY began to move texturally and stylistically from ambient and drone toward shoegaze along with more acoustic elements. According to their original plan, ""In Between Strides"" stepped into more melodic territory, with each song representing a different aspect of the band's musical vocabulary. BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE originate from the Swabian capital and German city of Stuttgart. All four members grew up together, eventually forming the band in 2014. Their musical template of ambient psychedelic doom was established with the debut album ""Medicine"" in 2017, and their sound has continued to evolve ever since. With ""In Between Strides"", BEES MADE HONEY have turned rage into reflection by developing a more organic and spontaneous approach to their songs, opening up wide spaces and letting the melodies flow freely. This musical honey tastes simply delicious. Tracklist: 1. Departure 2. Respite 3. Clutching at Straws 4. Elisa 5. Return, Precipice UPC: 884388898684Label: Magnetic EyeRelease Date: 9.18.26Format: CD
