In the summer of 2015, RAVENCULT joins forces with Metal Blade Records for a worldwide deal and records their third opus, entitled "Force Of Profanation".
Maintaining their straightforward, riff-after-riff rawness, they dive even deeper in the abyss of metal obscurity. Harsher in sound and more determined than ever, RAVENCULT delivers a merciless barrage of metallic death combining the 80s thrashing mayhem with the Black Metal darkness of the 90s. "Force Of Profanation" lyrically continues the tradition of their trademark conceptual axis: Revenge, Horror and mocking of all that is Holy. RAVENCULT is Greece's morbid metal primitivism; glorifying the mentality of Old and conjuring forth the forces of Black Thrash pounding with fanatic devotion.

A massive milestone in the ongoing and unstoppable legacy of NEUROSIS falls into alignment as the band unveils their eleventh studio album, Fires Within Fires, through their own Neurot Recordings this Friday. Preceding the album's street date, the entire record - recorded by Steve Albini, and featuring cover artwork by Thomas Hooper -- is now streaming worldwide.
NEUROSIS' Fires Within Fires will see worldwide release on CD, LP, cassette, and all digital platforms this Friday, September 23rd.
Leave it to Memento Mori to unearth the finest from the underground. Death metal band Necroven from Spain have conjured up their latest and it's just what you think it sounds like looking at the stunning hand-painted Joe Petagno artwork (Vader, Krisiun, Incantation) - dark, festering, cryptic death metal. The music seethes with unmitigated fury, with Necroven churning out sick, earth-rumbling tunes, the air reeking of malice and anger, and there being enough friction to set things afire. Fans of Morbid Angel, Incantation, Immolation, Sadistic Intent and Dead Congregation will find a new favourite in Necroven.
Mastered at the infamous Resonance Sound Studio by Dan Lowndes (Cruciamentum, Grave Miasma), everything is perfect in essence and this is the second coming of death metal that is pure and untainted by trends. Track list: 1. SACRIFICIAL DELIVERANCE 2. THE PYRE CYCLE (BURN IN SOLITUDE) 3. PRIMORDIAL SUBJUGATION 4. THE ETHEREAL 5. ESOTERIC ENTROPY (GATEWAY TO THE END) 6. MARTYRS OF REPENTANCE 7.

Italy's Blasphemer tears through flesh with the recently-launched video for "You Are Nothing."
Taken from the forthcoming Ritual Theophagy, "You Are Nothing" is a relentless barrage of sacrilege and hatred for the divine. The video's occultic imagery accurately depicts that contempt. After six years of silence, this Italian death metal behemoth has been awakened and lashes out with inhuman technical brutality. This is Blasphemer's most evil and chaotic material to date, with their signature style of dissonant rapid fire riffs, savage multi-vocal assault, and featuring the extreme drum prowess of Darren Cesca (Incinerate & Goratory). The gates of Hell have opened unleashing a nefarious fury of malevolence and the holy light will be forever extinguished. Blasphemer will return to the stage in 2017 in support of Ritual Theophagy. Dates and details to be announced soon. Comatose Music will release Ritual Theophagy October 14 Pillorian, the new band recently formed by Stephen Parker (Maestus/ex-Arkhum), John Haughm (ex-Agalloch), and Trevor Matthews (Uada/ex-Infernus), will release their debut album through Eisenwald in early 2017. Exploring the context of obscurity, Pillorian takes inspiration from blackened metal, dark folk, and avantgarde music. Adding something ancient that hovers within the music and its somber aura, it helps to fortify the group's audial scope in an unconventional way. Pillorian plans to record this Fall/Winter, with further information to be revealed at a later point. We are really looking forward to their first dark metal offering.
Sample track from upcoming, third album, "Master Satan's Witchery".
