After Ontario, Canada natives Æpoch made a significant splash in the death metal scene with the 2018 release of their debut album, “Awakening Inception”, the group has worked at a frenzied pace to unleash their next sonic salvo upon the world.

Today the group is proud to announce the release of their upcoming EP, “The Scryer”, which is set for release on Friday, July 31st, 2020. 

Progressive death metal masterminds Black Crown Initiate have released a new single, “Sun of War”, from their forthcoming album “Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape”. Check out the lyric video for the track below.

The Americans Atheist are the pioneers of technical death metal. This September, the band returns to Europe for the first time since 2011 bringing with them a power-packed set of fan favorites as well as songs that have never been performed in a live setting before.

Canada’s The Hallowed Catharsis (THC) will release new EP “Killowner” on June 2nd, 2020, via Lacerated Enemy Records.

You can check out the official video for album track “Breeding Pits” below.

THC plays a unique style of unhinged progressive death metal. Tired of generic tech-death flooding the scene, THC works to be unpredictable, brutal, and technical, while staying catchy. This attitude carries through to the live show where you can expect to see unparalleled energy.

Modern Death Metal quartet Protosequence will release “A Blunt Description of Something Obscene” on May 19th, 2020, via Lacerated Enemy Records.
