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.

DREADNOUGHT have never been easy to place — and that has always been precisely the point. The Colorado band occupy a space where progressive metal, folk, and atmosphere converge into something that resists every label thrown at it. On Wars Of Spirit // Wards Of Light, they arrive at a new clarity. Leaner in structure, more direct in execution — yet no less vast in scope or ambition. The album moves between stillness and upheaval, between grief and transcendence, tracing an inner war that feels as cosmic as it does personal. It is a record built for deep listening: one that reveals itself slowly, and rewards the patience it asks for. Artwork by Eisner Award-winning artist Christian Ward, whose neon-soaked psychedelic futurism gives the album a visual language as singular as its sound. Mixed by Julius Mauranen (Oranssi Pazuzu) and mastered by Jaakko Viitalähde (Havukruunu).
Still impossible to define. Still impossible to ignore.

Dymna Lotva are taking a quantum leap in their rapid musical evolution with their fourth album "Vyraj". The rebellious Belarus dissidents are powerfully demonstrating that they are far more than a 'one-trick pony' in every conceivable artistic aspect. Although "Vyraj" is still based on a solid foundation of black and post-black metal, Dymna Lotva move far beyond any easy labelling by also drawing inspiration from doom, heavy, and progressive metal, while venturing even deeper by incorporating elements from electronic music, goth, and folklore. The album is a cornucopia of great songs that are atmospherically dense and invite the listener onto an emotional roller-coaster ride from the darkest depths of depression and fear, via raw anger and defiance, to heights of ecstatic exhilaration. "Vyraj" is a musical kaleidoscope with ever changing patterns and sonic colours of remarkable beauty - that often dissolves into captivating melodies that at times even achieve a pop-like appeal. Dymna Lotva continue to carry the torch of rebellion, which is only natural as the founding members had to flee their native Belarus due to political persecution and continued attempts by the Lukashenka regime to censor and suppress their art. Yet on "Vyraj", they put their lyrical focus elsewhere. The album's main concept could be described as 'Belarusian ethno-astronomy.' In Slavonic legends, the starry sky is associated both with the afterlife and with journeys, which becomes closely intertwined with the musicians' personal experience of forced emigration. This idea is captured in the album title "Vyraj", which is a mythical realm to where birds migrate for the winter, and where the souls of the departed find their final rest. Dymna Lotva take another big step with "Vyraj" in their breathtakingly rapid artistic evolution. It is easy to predict that this unique and highly original band will soon appear on even bigger festival billings and European stages.

For Ecca Vandal, punk was survival; a way in, and a way out. Born to a Sri Lankan family in South Africa and raised in Australia, she grew up under pressure to fit a mold. Punk blew that open. It was her way of pushing back, of refusing silence. Trained in jazz but craving something louder, she found freedom in being raw and unapologetic. Turning rebellion into identity, and identity into sound.

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.

Elegant Weapons return with their sophomore studio album, Evolution. This quartet of lifelong musicians- guitarist Richie Faulkner [Judas Priest], vocalist Ronnie Romero [Rainbow, MSG], bassist Dave Rimmer [Uriah Heep], and drummer Christopher Williams [Accept]-have rallied around a collective vision. They've architected a signature style sealed tightly by unforgettable riffing, surgically precise solos, bold grooves, and skyscraping hooks. The world got it's first taste of Elegant Weapons with the release of Horns For A Halo in 2023. Exhibiting both a craftsman's attention-to-detail and an innate knack for arena-ready anthems, Elegant Weapons have rapidly progressed in real-time as they push forward again on their second full-length offering, the aptly titled Evolution. Featuring "Evil Eyes," "Generation Me," and the lead single "Bridges Burn," Elegant Weapons have evolved into their most dangerous and dynamic effort thus far.

2026 release. Rites Of Disclosure is a special companion release that brings closure to Elvenking's long-running Reader of the Runes trilogy. Combining previously digital-only originals, two brand-new songs, and a carefully selected set of cover tracks honoring key influences such as Iron Maiden, Skyclad, Bathory, Children of Bodom and King Diamond, the album functions as both epilogue and tribute. Musically, it spans the full Elvenking spectrum- from acoustic folk passages to epic and dark metal atmospheres - while lyrically delivering the final chapter of the saga. Featuring guest appearances by Tony 'The Demolition Man' Dolan and Snowy Shaw, Rites Of Disclosure is less a traditional studio album and more a ceremonial closing statement before the band moves into a new creative era UPC: 4255698501940Label: Reaper EntertainmentRelease Date: 6.26.26Format: CD

Originally released in 1993, Wolverine Blues is the highly sought after classic third album from Swedish death metal legends Entombed. 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. It results in a more ferocious and dynamic sound which enables the listener to immerse in the full audio heaviness like never before.
