Forward-thinking Philadelphia area thrash act DOMINANCE formed from the ashes of cult heroes ANVIL BITCH during the late-'80s. The core of the band-John Plumley on guitar, Dave Carr on bass, and drummer Chuck Stadulis-hooked up with vocalist Chuck Miles and guitarist John Hebert to explore a darker, more rhythmic form of vicious thrash metal; even becoming early adopters of experimenting with the addition of samples into their compositions.This lineup would go on to record three impressive demos- Dominance (1988), Look Where We Worship (1990), and All Fear One (1992)-as well as securing an appearance on the 11th volume of the legendary Metal Massacre compilation series. Two additional demos were then tracked during the mid-'90s, after undergoing some lineup shifts. Despite all of this- as well as sharing the stage with OVERKILL, THE ACCÜSED, FAITH OR FEAR, BIOHAZARD, and many more- DOMINANCE was inexplicably unable to land a recording contract, and the majority of their output faded into obscurity.Initially resurrected for the first time ever on CD by Divebomb Records in 2010, over 15 years later the label is beyond excited to present Second Life: The Demo Anthology: a 15-song collection that has been expanded to include 1992's All Fear One, and thus the entire recorded output of the original, founding lineup of DOMINANCE. Newly discovered audio sources have been restored and remastered by Jamie King Audio, the CD will also be housed alongside an updated 20-page booklet packed with lyrics, photos, flyers, and an amended interview with the band. For the fans, by the fans!

Swedish gothic doom entity DRACONIAN is finally back! Their new studio album, In Somnolent Ruin, will creep its way from the artist’s spirit into the light of day on May 8, 2026 via Napalm Records. This promises to be one of the most personal records in the band’s discography, revealed through a dreamlike journey across nine tracks and the poetic lyricism of vocalist Anders Jacobsson. As a recurring theme, DRACONIAN explore Plato’s theory of the soul – an element that was not planned from the very beginning, but instead emerged organically during the creation. In 2022, the band announced the return of vocalist Lisa Johansson. Johansson had been the band’s vocalist for their first five records before leaving DRACONIAN in 2011 for personal reasons. In Somnolent Ruin marks her comeback.

With their 12th studio album, "Set The Dark On Fire," and their return to the Steamhammer label, Edenbridge explores new soundscapes without abandoning their tried-and-tested trademarks. This is primarily due to a significantly heavier basic sound, which harmonizes perfectly with the lyrical and visual direction of the Austrian quintet around singer Sabine Edelsbacher and composer/guitarist/keyboardist Lanvall.The songs are characterized by harmonic and structural diversity. Powerful riffs and expansive guitar solos meet opulent, symphonic orchestral arrangements and unusual string instruments rarely used in metal, such as the dulcimer, swarmandal, monochord, and electric sitar. Sabine Edelsbacher's warm, distinctive timbre lends the compositions a high level of recognition.

The world got it's first taste of Elegant Weapons with the release of Horns For A Halo in 2023.

Home to the fan favorite "Stranger Aeons," the record followed their breakthrough debut Left Hand Path and cemented their place at the forefront of the early death metal scene. Outburn asserts that, "Entombed's masterpiece sounds as fresh today as it did in 1993... a gem begging to be rediscovered" while Decibel calls it a, "death roll classic packed with crushing mid-tempo groove." The album has been specially remastered from the original master tapes using 'FDR' - Full Dynamic Range mastering - allowing the music's nuances to truly shine through.

Pittsburgh's Eviction tore onto the late-'80s underground scene like a Molotov cocktail - fast, defiant, and unapologetically loud. Their 1990 debut The World Is Hours Away captured the raw collision of thrash precision and punk rebellion, creating one of the most underrated crossover records of it's time.This 2026 Brutal Planet Records Metal Icon Series edition gives the album the deluxe treatment it deserves. Remastered by Rob Colwell, it hits harder and cleaner than ever, while the 16-page booklet dives deep into the band's history - packed with stories, photos, flyers, and the gritty spirit that fueled Pittsburgh's scene.Best of all, this expanded edition includes the entire 1993 Think Tank demo as bonus tracks - six rare cuts that show Eviction evolving their sound while holding tight to their hardcore roots.With songs like "Listen," "Drunken State," "Marching Off to War," and "American Way," Eviction proved they could hang with any of the era's heavy hitters. For those who crave that perfect mix of speed, grit, and attitude - where Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I., and C.O.C. collide - this is a must-have resurrection of a crossover classic.

Swedish death metal trio Eye of Purgatory return with Darkborne - a powerful new chapter forged by Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Ribspreader), Taylor Nordberg (The Absence, Venom Inc. ) and Jeramie Kling (Venom Inc. , Inhuman Condition). The album captures the spirit of classic Swedish death metal: dark, atmospheric and full of organic weight - yet with a melodic and emotional depth that makes every track feel alive. The cover artwork, once again created by Dan Goldsworthy (Accept, Alestorm, Cradle of Filth), perfectly reflects the album's mix of melancholy and menace. Darkborne isn't about nostalgia; it's a continuation of a sound that values emotion and atmosphere as much as sheer heaviness.

LOS ANGELES, CA, hard rock veterans Fear Not have officially announced the release of their blistering new 5-song EP, The Blind Leading The Blind, arriving March 20, 2026 via Roxx Records and NoLifeTilMetal Records.Forged in the fire of the late-1980s Los Angeles rock scene, Fear Not return with renewed intensity, delivering the heavy-hitting riffs, commanding vocals, and soaring melodic hooks that have defined their legacy for decades. The upcoming EP captures a band operating at full throttle - sharper, heavier, and more focused than ever.Originally formed in 1987, the group first recorded and performed under the name Love Life before evolving into Fear Not in 1992. Built on the enduring musical foundation of Chris Howell, Gary Hanson, Larry Worley, and Rod Romero, the band has long been known for it's unapologetic fusion of commercial hard rock accessibility and uncompromising metal edge.Now, with the addition of powerhouse frontman Eddie Green, Fear Not entered a bold new chapter. The Blind Leading The Blind showcases a revitalized line-up firing on all cylinders, pairing classic metal influences with modern production muscle and a message that hits harder than ever.The cover art was developed by Scott Waters (NoLifeTilMetal Graphics) and Eddie Green using new AI technology and mixing it with Scott's artistry. The new EP arrives on the heels of the band's acclaimed 2022 full-length Fields Of Sorrow and their 2025 EP Weight Of The World, both of which marked a significant creative resurgence. With this latest release, Fear Not prove their brand of Southern-influenced metal and hard rock remains not only relevant - but dangerous.

A Forest of Stars are the physical manifestation of what can confidentially be called 'British Black Metal'. "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface", the grandiose sixth full-length by the band from West Yorkshire is the sonic expression of this distinct and discernible local variant of the genre. "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface" sends it's tendril-like roots deep into British musical soil. In his recitative mode, vocalist Curse is even reminiscent of electro poet Anne Clark - after a steady diet of prescription drugs and rusty nails. Another sonic pillar on which "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface" stands, is the violin of Katheryne aka Queen of the Ghosts. Her melodies time and time again build beautiful bridges over the dissonant churning of electric guitars as the latter gloriously luxuriate in the chaos they create. On the harsh side of their unique sound, A Forest of Stars make use of the full spectrum that both classic heavy and black metal have to offer - with deadly and progressive moments meticulously slotted into all the right places. Connoisseurs of the black arts will not fail to notice that the collective from Leeds beg to differ from traditional Norse berserkir in the wake of MAYHEM, as well as contemporary compatriots such as WINTERFYLLETH. A Forest of Stars have used their temporary hiatus well to craft a collection of excellent songs. In their quest for perfection, they even discarded an entire finished album and started again from scratch. "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface" is undoubtedly pure A Forest of Stars: complex, catchy, contradictory - and completely individualistic. Welcome to British Black Metal!
