Acclaimed Pacific Northwest metal band AGALLOCH have completed work on their new album “The Serpent & The Sphere,” the follow-up to 2010’s “Marrow Of The Spirit.”

“The Serpent & The Sphere” sees AGALLOCH take their progressive musical oeuvre to another level, all while maintaining the classic AGALLOCH sound.  It is an album that reveals the band’s darkest, most meticulously crafted, and atmospherically surging work of their seventeen-year career.

Captured by legendary producer/engineer Billy Anderson at Cloud City Studios in Portland, Oregon (and mixed by Anderson likewise at Everything Hz), “The Serpent & The Sphere” represents the most glorious sounding…

The devastating new COFFINWORM album “IV.I.VIII” (CD version) is now available to order exclusively from our website prior to its March 18th official release date.  An album in which blows away anything the band have done in the past, the blasphemous outburst that is “IV.I.VIII” portrays itself as a world destroying sonic monolith of immeasurable proportions.  Behold the dawn of imminent defeat.

Chicago’s depraved and morally impaired doom noise band LORD MANTIS have finally completed work on their third full-length album “Death Mask”.

Taking it way beyond and further into depths of unfathomable darkness, brutality, perversion, and violence, “Death Mask” follows up the band’s “Pervertor” predecessor album and essentially ups the ante on pretty much everything the band have been known to spew forth.

Easily presenting itself as LORD MANTIS’ most advanced, musically accomplished and challenging album to date, “Death Mask” is a disturbing glimpse into a world of psychosis, anxiety, horror, and mental instability.  Where sonically, more of a focus…

The debut album from New York based experimental metal duo PSALM ZERO (aka Charlie Looker and Andrew Hock), “The Drain”, is now available to order (CD version) and ship exclusively prior to its March 4 release date.  PSALM ZERO were recently named by Time Out NY as one of the top new promising New York bands to emerge, and their debut album will serve its purpose as one of the most unique and singular albums to be released this year.  They also are going on tour very soon (dates HERE). Very deep stuff.

Wold – Postsocial

Postsocial consists of five works, each denoting a point of the inverted star. The opening pieces, “Throwing Star” and “Inner Space Infirmary”, respectively deal with exterior and interior violence. “Five Points” and “Spiral Star Inversion” are themed around an exploration of the five-pointed star metaphor, culminating in ritualistic conjuration and copulation of the hag. “Sapphire Sect of Tubal Cain” provides further reflection. There are many other aspects to Postsocial, from within, which, Wold does not wish to disclose.

Australian metaphysical occult death metal band IMPETUOUS RITUAL have completed work on their new destroyer of worlds album “Unholy Congregation Of Hypocritical Ambivalence”.

Manifesting what will be one of the darkest, swarming and suffocating death metal albums of the year, the follow-up to “Relentless Execution Of Ceremonial Excrescence” takes the brutal and atmospheric sound paradigm IMPETUOUS RITUAL have forged and morphs it into a more advanced level of unrelenting sonic terror.  An overbearing listening experience in the realm of death metal horror, “Unholy Congregation Of Hypocritical Ambivalence” is a ceremonial-like offering where death metal surrealism and apocalyptic violence merges…
