The Silent Abscission, the 4th Inherits the Void studio album, is a true turning point: a concept album about erasure, cosmic implosion, and isolation. Formed in 2020 by AS, Inherits the Void is a French project of atmospheric and melodic black metal, inspired by the frozen visions of Vinterland, the incantatory fury of Mis_yrming, and the melodic intensity of Dawn. Since it's inception, the project has explored the tension between melody and atmosphere, blending emotional intensity with celestial melancholy. Through several releases - Monolith of Light (2021), The Impending Fall of the Stars (2023), Scars of Yesteryears (2024), all released via Avantgarde Music - Inherits the Void has established itself as a singular voice within the modern French black metal scene. The Silent Abscission, the fourth Inherits the Void studio album, is a true turning point: a concept album about erasure, cosmic implosion, and isolation. Conceived as a journey through eight visions, it moves between incantatory convulsions and silent abysses, leading to an inevitable and overwhelming resolution. Like the collision of celestial bodies, the music whirls, riffs lash, dissonances burn, and harmonies collapse into silence. A total black metal experience, where matter and spirit are consumed within the same incantation, standing at the frontier between despair and eternity. For this opus, AS surrounded himself with exceptional musicians, for the first time expanding Inherits the Void to a full recording lineup: Romain Negro (Apolaustic, ex-Stortregn) on vocals and Nicolas Müller (Akiavel, ex-Artefact, ex-Svart Crown) on drums give shape and power to this vision. The mastering was entrusted to Simon Da Silva at his The Empty Hall Studio, ensuring a sound both dense, dynamic, and abyssal.

New Heaven, INTER ARMA’s latest album, is a compelling testament to perseverance, top to bottom. Its thicket of ever-dense layers of doom, death, and black metal occasionally let bits of light slip in, fleeting reminders to keep going amid the tumult.
New Heaven marks a sharp turn for the band, showcasing some of the most extreme and angular songwriting INTER ARMA has ever laid bare. Known for their cinematic take on sludgy, extremely cavernous, and borderline psychedelic Metal, the Richmond band broadens their dynamics by seesawing between piledriving momentum and swirling oblivion. New Heaven crushers and conquers, and illustrates what INTER ARMA can truly be.
Take the title track, with its hair-raising lead riff stemming from drummer/songwriter TJ Childers’ challenge to himself to write a nonsensically dissonant part that he ended up loving. The song spirals upward into a punishing Death-Metal march, Meanwhile, vocalist Mike Paparo’s stentorian bellows the bludgeon, above an impossibly complicated web of riffs and rhythms. From the get go, New Heaven and the opening title track eschews any restraint - INTER ARMA is completely unchained.
Paparo’s keen and empathetic lyrics about innocent victims of war, addiction, and social apathy affirm that feeling, as a survivor grimaces at the carnage behind him and presses ahead best he can. “You stared into the brutish jaws of strife’s heartless device,” he growls into a chthonic blitz during “The Children the Bombs Overlooked,” a late-album powerhouse. “And you turned your back to hell.” That forward march out of madness is New Heaven in an armor-plated nutshell.
Though this is indeed another INTER ARMA triumph, it is not a triumphant album, meant to offer some glib or naïve assurance that everything will be fine.
What evidence is there for that, really, either on a record where friends are forced into submission, addiction, suicide, or retreat to a world where suffering remains the lingua franca? No, INTER ARMA and New Heaven are too realistic and experienced for that. This is, instead, a record about enduring brambles and curses and lasting long enough to make something profound, honest, and even affirming about it all every now and again—exactly as INTER ARMA has on New Heaven.

"This is a thick, pummeling exercise in self loathing and meanness"- Decibel Magazine
The UK's IRON MONKEY return with their highly anticipated new album, Spleen and Goad!
On the new album, the legendary band are as uncompromising ever, churning out some of the most gritty-sounding sludge doom in their 25 + year history. Dubbed a "doom sludge vanguard" by The Sludgelord, IRON MONKEY live up to their legacy, absolutely pummelling through each of the 9 tracks on their new album.
From the two-ton, heavier-than-anything-else riff opening "Concrete Shock", IRON MONKEY show no signs of easing up; fuzzed out guitars crash against pulse-pound drums, set against vicious, misanthropic snarls and barks. Elsewhere, tracks like the aptly titled "Rat Flag" kicks the band into high gear with palpable fury and malaise.
Recorded in their native Nottingham, Spleen and Goad was mastered stateside by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.

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 their fourth album "Inexorable Opposites", JACK HARLON & THE DEAD CROWS deliver a doozy of a record. The Psychedelic Western Rockers from Down Under have taken a big leap that was made possible by breaking new ground. It pays off that the Australians have dared to take numerous creative risks, of which several stand out: First off, "Inexorable Opposites" introduces new drum powerhouse Brayden Becher, who has literally given the band an extra kick. This was amplified by employing Lewis Noke-Edwards as a third party engineer for the tracking of the drums. While the creative process was generally more collaborative than for previous releases, the album also comes with an extended range as it includes both the 'heaviest' and 'gentlest' songs the band have ever recorded. Probably as important as the musical tweaks is the new direction that the lyrics take on "Inexorable Opposites". While there are still new tales playing out in the universe of the eponymous science fiction Western character Jack Harlon, vocalist Tim Coutts-Smith was mostly inspired by experiences both personal and from recent years as well as being influenced by his work in mental health. JACK HARLON & THE DEAD CROWS deliver a beautifully matured and musically experienced version of their characteristic sound on the fourth album "Inexorable Opposites". With adult lyrics that take their listeners seriously in a contemplation about the duality of life and the frequent contradictions of the self with the external world, the Australians show their growth and songwriters and musicians without losing the connection to the titanic fuzz and heavy riffs that helped put them on the map.

Joseph Tholl is widely known as a Swedish multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter. He gained international recognition as a founding member and guitarist of the speed metal band Enforcer, which he officially left in 2019. After his time with Enforcer, he formed Black Trip (later renamed Vojd) and is currently playing guitar in Tribulation. Following 2019's Devil's Drum, It Might Be Art is his second solo album. It was recorded and mixed at Humbucker Studio, which Tholl co-owns with Robert Pehrsson (also a High Roller Records artist). Tholl handles vocals, guitars, and most of the bass, as well as piano and synthesizer parts. Drum duties are shared by Robert Eriksson (The Hellacopters) and Jakob Ljungberg (Second Sun). In addition, the album features several guest appearances by musicians including Johannes Andersson (Tribulation), Tobias Lindkvist (Tyrann), Pia Stjärnvind (Serpent Omega), Adam Zaars (Tribulation), and Robert Pehrsson (Dundertåget, Robert Pehrsson's Humbucker). At times, influences from Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, New Model Army, and Midnight Oil can be glimpsed.
