War Machine, originally issued in 2010, was Tank's first album in eight years. Founding member, bassist, and singer Algy Ward, who sadly passed away far too early in 2023 at the age of just 63, had left the band in 2008. He was replaced by former Rainbow vocalist Doogie White. Guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans formed the core of the reborn Tank, both having been members of the band since the mid-1980s. They were joined by Chris Dale on bass (known for his work with Bruce Dickinson's solo band) and Dave Cavill on drums. The ultimate reissue of War Machine on High Roller Records includes three bonus tracks: "Dead Man Walking," a new recording of "Honour and Blood," and a live version of "Phoenix Rising." The unmastered original mix froms the basis for this definitive reissue, which was remastered by Patrick W. Engel, ensuring the album sounds better than 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. UPC: 840526510788Label: Profound LoreRelease Date: 7.31.26Format: Vinyl
The Amity Affliction return with one of the most personal and devastating records of their career. Following a decade-plus run as one of Australia’s most influential heavy bands, marked by ARIA chart-topping albums, platinum certifications, and global touring off landmark releases like Let The Ocean Take Me and This Could Be Heartbreak, the new album turns inward with unflinching honesty. Largely written about frontman Joel Birch’s relationship with his late mother, the record explores grief, trauma, faith, and self-reckoning through a series of deeply connected songs. “I’ll Break These Chains” confronts the confusion surrounding her death, “Afterlife” questions belief beyond this life, while the closing track “Eternal War” captures the ongoing internal struggle and the hope for change that never came. Musically massive and emotionally raw, this album stands as The Amity Affliction at their most vulnerable, cathartic, and fully realized.

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.

Is That Light You Carry? is the debut record from Third Culture Kings, a new project led by Jan Johansen (Glorybox) and Alap Momin (dälek). Filtering classic vibes through modern interpretation, 3CK reimagine The Velvet Underground or Leonard Cohen if they had been mixed by King Tubby and Afrika Bambaataa all the while incorporating influences as diverse as Indian drone, early 80’s synth pads and Miami booty bass. Still, it’s worth noting that there’s nothing about these recordings that’s rooted in the past: nearly every sound on the record - sans lead vocals and guitar - were created or recorded directly to an IPhone. Momin created the beats, bass and majority of synth lines on his device, while Johansen then recorded backing vocals, second guitar, vibraphone, piano, horns, rhodes, and melodica as voice memos that were eventually dropped on top of the finished tracks. There are few acts claiming to channel Vangelis and Suicide at the same time, and even fewer that also shout out their love of Doo Wop, UK Bass, and Chicago House in the same breath, but this international duo manage to strike all those notes and more. Veteran performers who’ve outlasted endless trends and toured the world for the better part of the last two decades, Third Culture Kings aren’t afraid to stretch the boundaries of style. The eclectic, yet cohesive group of songs in their live shows complement bills featuring everything from shoegaze to commercial R&B.

Before they became one of Finland's most respected death-metal exports, Torture Killer began as a group of devoted fans paying tribute to the brutal groove of Six Feet Under. Originally performing as a Six Feet Under cover band, the group quickly evolved into something far more powerful. Their crushing riffs and undeniable chemistry eventually caught the attention of Chris Barnes himself-the iconic voice of Six Feet Under and former Cannibal Corpse frontman-who stepped in to handle vocals on their second album, Swarm!Released in 2006 through Metal Blade Records, Swarm! Captured lightning in a bottle: the raw intensity of Finland's underground death-metal scene combined with Barnes' unmistakable, venomous growl. Unlike their early days as a cover act, every track on Swarm! #is original, delivering a relentless barrage of groove-driven death metal. Songs like "Swarm!," "Forever Dead," "Obsessed With Homicide," and "Cannibal Gluttony" showcase the band's ability to fuse punishing riffs, crushing rhythms, and Barnes' signature vocal brutality into a record that feels both classic and viciously modern.The album quickly became a cult favorite among fans of old-school death metal, standing shoulder to shoulder with the swampy heaviness of bands like Six Feet Under, Obituary, and Jungle Rot. For many fans, Swarm! #represents a unique moment in extreme metal history-when a band that started as fans ended up collaborating with one of their heroes to create a brutally effective death-metal album.Now, twenty years after it's original release, Swarm! #returns in a special 20th Anniversary Edition, receiving it's first-ever worldwide retail vinyl pressing. Issued by Brutal Planet Records as part of the elite Metal Icon Series, this collector's edition has been mastered specifically for vinyl by Badland Recordings and pressed on exclusive Rotting Amber Vinyl.Housed in a traditional LP jacket with a 12x12 full-color lyrics insert, this edition is strictly limited to just 250 copies worldwide, making it an essential addition for collectors and fans of crushing, groove-driven death metal.For fans of Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Six Feet Under, Malevolent Creation, and Jungle Rot, Swarm! #remains a vicious reminder that sometimes the most brutal death metal emerges when passion, influence, and opportunity collide.

The album Phobias by Traitors delves into the darkest corners of the human mind, exploring themes of mental anguish, inner torment, and destructive cycles. As a successor to the EP Night Terrors, this collection of tracks amplifies the intensity, confronting fears and personal demons head-on. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of isolation, manic episodes, self-loathing, and violent outbursts. Each song grapples with the overwhelming weight of trauma, regret, and fractured identity, offering no resolution but instead laying bare the relentless mental battles within. It's an unfiltered expression of pain and the struggle to survive amidst chaos.

With "... by the word... ", Trelldom are pushing forward hard into their new musical era that was ushered in by the previous full-length "... by the shadows... " (2024), which ended a 17-year hiatus of the Norwegian band. Mastermind Kristian Eivind Espedal aka Gaahl and his diligently selected collaborators have gone even beyond the complex yet sinister sound that they established with "... by the shadows... ". The exponentially grown confidence and hard-gained experience of joining together seemingly quite different musicians is reflected clearly in each track of "... by the word... ". Trelldom have concluded the process of escaping the narrowest definition of black metal without compromising their artistic mission. Their music does not only stay loyal to the spirit of their black metal roots, but the Norwegians are making a solid point that their new sound is even more dark and fierce than ever before - just in more twisted and unhinged ways. "... by the word... " is the result of Espedal expanding the immense range of his vocals even further into unexplored territories. And it should be noted that this was partly achieved by his return to the famous Grieghallen Studios in Bergen to work again with legendary producer Eirik Hundvin aka Pytten, who was instrumental in the creation of the 'Norwegian black metal' sound. Trelldom continue in the tradition of all of Espedal's art, which asks to always expect the unexpected. With "... by the word... " the exploration of avant-garde dissonance, wicked rhythm patterns, and wild ideas again destroys preconceptions and demands intense listening. Better prepare to be challenged by every note!
