Emerging from the ashes of Church Of Void, there is a new force rising up to pursue a path in the name of doom: Fimir have inked a worldwide deal with Argonauta Records, who will proudly release the band’s upcoming debut album during 2021!

Behemoth – arguably the biggest extreme metal band in the world – have extended and expanded their contract with Nuclear Blast, who will now distribute the group’s music worldwide outside of their home country. The group originally signed with Nuclear Blast Europe prior to the release of 2009’s “Evangelion”, but their forthcoming album – which is tentatively set for an autumn 2021 release – will be their first to be released by the label outside of the Old Continent.

Hailing from Sicily, Italy, occult doom metal heavy weights Satyrus have announced the signing with powerhouse label Argonauta Records.

Featuring members of bands alike Uthaar or Wolvesguard, Satyrus invites its listener on a slow and dark ride into doom heaviness.
