In July 2017 Kevin Godley - formerly of 10cc and Godley & Creme - posted an invitation on the site PledgeMusic: “Write and record with me”.

PledgeMusic was a platform for musicians to connect directly with fans who could pay for music in advance to support the creation of albums. Kevin’s project took the potential of this remote, socially distanced collaboration further.

Worcester, Massachusetts-based avant electronics project The Oracle will release its debut full-length debut “Hypogeum” this August, via Repose Records.
 
Inspired at once by the grandiosity of film scores and classical music, the bleakness of black metal, and minimalist ambient music, “Hypogeum” is dark and at times ritualistic with its themes and complimentary visuals touching upon the rise and fall of messiah-like figures and cult leaders.
 

Philip H. Anselmo’s En Minor will release its long-awaited debut full-length, “When the Cold Truth has Worn Its Miserable Welcome Out”, om September 4th, 2020, via Housecore Records.
 

“Reigning Cement”, an audio-visual project pairing a 100-page book of Jesse Draxler’s photography and collage work with a collection of music created by musicians handpicked by Draxler, arrives on September 4th, 2020, via Federal Prisoner.

In the midst of the forest, the floor is littered with monstrous heads and mythical figures, frozen in torturous combat or threatened by wild beasts. A dragon fights a dog and a wolf. A lion sinks its teeth into the fire-breathing monster’s chest. 
 

Metal Blade Records is proud to welcome France’s Déluge to its worldwide roster!

Déluge released their first full-length, “Æther”, in 2015 via Les Acteurs de l’ombre. Featuring 9 songs that combine ambient and modern black metal with post-hardcore tones, “Æther”’s sound can be compared to likes of Celeste, Amenra and Deafheaven. Their upcoming sophomore album - and Metal Blade Records debut - will continue down this sonic path with its tentative 2020 release.

Never change a winning team. This team’s story started back in 2013, when Nibiru released their pathbreaking debut on the ever-growing powerhouse label Argonauta Records. Together they have released four highly acclaimed full-length albums and one EP, until the band inked a deal with Ritual Productions.

Today, the Italian collective announced their return to Argonauta Records, who will release Nibiru’s forthcoming, sixth studio album in the Fall of 2020!

Recently Lucynine signed with Finnish label Inverse Records. Today the one-man band proudly announces the release of its debut full-length album “Amor Venenat” as digipack CD and digital on July 31st, 2020.
 
Lucynine unveils also the lyric video for the first single “Nine Eleven” - check it out below.
 

“Open Arms” is the debut album from Deeper Graves, the solo venture of Jeff Wilson (Chrome Waves, ex-Nachtmystium). The record has been confirmed for release in early July, and its lead single, “Open Arms”, is now streaming.
 

Snares Of Sixes is a collective of ever-evolving artists and musicians led by Jason Walton. Best known as the bassist for Agalloch, Walton has also been a part of several other bands over the years, including Sculptured, Dolven, Celestiial, and Sleepchains, among others.

In recent years, the multi-instrumentalist has returned to composing experimental and ambient music under his own name, as well as through the Snares Of Sixes conduit where he is joined by a cast of collaborators.
