Excomulgación - Flagrum Scorpium

Black Metal from Bogotá, Colombia

After more than ten years of silence, Excomulgación returns with FLAGRUM SCORPIUM, an iconoclastic manifesto of Colombian Black Metal that rejects every imposed truth and embraces blasphemy as a symbol of spiritual rupture, chaos, and the liberation of the individual from the sacred structures of power and obedience. The production also features a brutal lineup, incorporating Bloody Hammer (Mauricio Londoño, ex-Masacre) on drums and Rio De Muerte (Oscuridad) on keyboards, strengthening the dark and ceremonial dimension of this work.

Fires in the Distance - Circadian Promise

Atmospheric/Melodic Death Metal from Newington, Connecticut, US

Connecticut-based melodic/melancholic death metal band Fires In The Distance released their album “Circadian Promise” on 12 June via Prosthetic Records. With their third album, the band has taken their melancholic, synth-heavy style to new, cathartic heights. “Circadian Promise” is virtuosic yet visceral, progressive but always authentic, and confirms Fires In The Distance as a rising force in the genre. Founding guitarist and songwriter Yegor Savonin said: “Our music springs from raw emotions. Each new album depicts a different experience and phase of life, with the sound and atmosphere evolving accordingly.” With new singer and guitarist Brendan Hayter, the album is undoubtedly Fires In The Distance’s darkest and most comprehensive to date – thoroughly captivating and without a single filler track, even though some of the six tracks run to over nine minutes.

Old school Death Metal from Illertissen, Germany

Finally back – possibly Germany’s best death metal band! ... After their second, far too long hiatus, FLESHCRAWL are back at the forefront with yet another milestone and, hopefully, ready to get the band back up and running as normal. "Epitome Of Carnage" is a death metal gem that is sure to bring a tear of joy to the eyes of more than just nostalgic fans ... With “Epitome Of Carnage”, FLESHCRAWL deliver exactly what you’d hope for from a seasoned death metal outfit: uncompromising heaviness, riffs as heavy as a tonne, thunderous drums and a dark atmosphere that hangs over the entire album like a bloody veil. The band remains true to its old-school roots, yet comes across as neither outdated nor lacking in ideas. Instead, you’re hit with a raw, direct and brutally venerable dose of death metal that should easily appeal to both long-standing fans and those who prefer a harder edge.

Defiled - Altered State

Death Metal from Tokyo, Japan

While an active member of its golden era, DEFILED are neither relics nor custodians for old-school death metal. Like the Japanese salamander, the Tokyo legends have evolved in isolation away from scenes or trends.

Soulburn - Quantifying Cosmic Doom

Blackened Death Metal from Oldenzaal, Netherlands

With “Quantifying Cosmic Doom”, SOULBURN renew their dark pact with their loyal following: they deliver extreme and heavy metal that constantly pushes boundaries whilst remaining true to its core values of black, death and doom. Building upon a solid foundation of death metal, “Quantifying Cosmic Doom” seamlessly adds walls of melancholy carved from the bedrock of doom, and crowns massive riffs with the wild and spiritual flames of black metal. A wide musical variety, coupled with the masterful storytelling that runs like a thread through the epic songs, reveals SOULBURN as seasoned veterans who cling to their extreme craft with absolute self-assurance and passion. SOULBURN rose from the ashes of ASPHYX in 1996, when the Dutch death metal pioneers disbanded once more before eventually reuniting. Behind SOULBURN’s fifth album, “Quantifying Cosmic Doom”, lies a long journey that never followed a straight path, but instead led through many dimensions and trod hidden paths. Yet the Dutch metal extremists have undeniably reached a dark and beautiful pinnacle.

Goreworm - Miasmic Solitude

Technical/Brutal Death Metal from Brantford, Canada

Canadian death metal band Goreworm mesh different death metal styles in a way that's both confounding and challenging. They're throwing technical, melodic, and brutal death metal elements into a high-speed blender—hardly the most conventional approach—and when the music still manages to sound so coherent, it warrants a closer listen. They seem to have coalesced the influences on an almost cellular level - the aural phantasmic entity emanating from the speakers sounds decidedly Goreworm even when constantly showing glimpses of different musical personalities. "Miasmic Solitude" is Goreworm's most evolved creation to date and it must be celebrated for its passionate and innovative take on the technical death metal style.
