blackened extreme metal

Italian Black Metal Hardcore act laCasta have revealed the details of their upcoming album, set for a release on February 28th, 2020, with powerhouse label Argonauta Records.

Titled In “Æternvm”, the band’s first full-length unites the darkest art in metal with the traditions of all that is extreme in a furious way: Bleak, dissonant and black-eyed sounds filled with rage and disgust.

Northern Irish black metal outfit Drakonis have unveiled details for the much anticipated forthcoming record “Blessed by Embers”, following up on great acclaim garnered from their more recent concept work, late 2017’s “The Great Miasma”.

Their debut full length is a story driven concept spanning eight songs. Each taking us through a different chapter following the rise and fall of a charismatic cult leader, who allows darkness and fire to shape and purify his followers, “The Wretched”.

Finnish death metallers Torchia have just inked a record deal with Rockshots Records for the release of their sophomore album “The Coven”, coming out on March 27th, 2020.

Having released their most gripping album to date “I Loved You at Your Darkest”, Behemoth return once again spread the word of the unholy.
