Welkins Boreal was founded in 2018 by Finnish songwriter Teemu Kautonen as a follow-up to his former band Nattvindens Gråt, which released three albums 1995-2000 and played a European tour in 1997. Teemu has also played with acts like Darkwoods My Betrothed, Furthest Shore and Wizzard.

Dark metal institution Agathodaimon have officially signed a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records. Formed by Sathonys (guitar) and Matthias Rodig (drums) the German five-piece quickly evolved, performed at major European festivals and released six studio albums throughout their vast career.
 
Seven years after their highly praised full length “In Darkness”, Agathodaimon reunited in February 2020 and are currently working on new material! More to be announced soon!
 
Guitarist Sathonys states:

Austin, Texas-based melodic death-doom metal unit Hinayana have been turning heads in the metal scene since their formation in 2014, starting out as a one-man band spearheaded by frontman Casey Hurd.

Now, after releasing their crushing 2018 full-length “Order Divine” and subsequently securing the attention of Napalm Records, Hinayana are poised to release their next musical offering – the crushing “Death of the Cosmic” EP – set for release on August 28th, 2020.
 

Finland’s black metal anti-traditionalists Oranssi Pazuzu will finally return to the stage in 2021, following the unfortunate cancellation of their tour for autumn of this year.

After recently releasing their new album “Mestarin Kynssi” and contorting the minds of listeners with their psychic and colourful black metal that knows no boundaries, the Finns announce new tour dates for April and May. Their intense ride will be supported by Brazil’s Deafkids and Norway’s Sturle Dagsland.

Finnish Doomsters Red Moon Architect are known to create a unique sound of their own. Pure sweeping, yet crushing and highly atmospheric Melancholic Doom soundscapes consolidate with strong melodies, dark growls and haunting female vocals, crawling directly under your skin.

UK anonymous collective Bull Elephant will release sophomore album “Created from Death” on August 14th, 2020, via Eat Lead and Die Music.
