From Xes, voice of Black Metal masters Infernal Angels comes Deathcvlt, an Extreme project that represents a return to the roots of Swedish Death Metal sound combined with the morbosity of Melodic Black Metal. The band is completed by Ulag from Osselition on guitar and bass and Bestia on drums from the same Infernal Angels for an essential line-up destined to burn the stages in the next autumn.

Satyricon’s first album, “Dark Medieval Times”, was released in the autumn of 1993 followed by its successor, “The Shadowthrone”, only eight months later.

Both records will now be released as remixed and remastered reissues with altered cover artworks, on May 28th, 2021, via Napalm Records.

Singapore-based Death Metal newcomers Adarrak will release debut album “Ex Oriente Lux” on May 27th, 2021, via Satanath Records (physical) and Blood Blast Distribution (digital).

Greek extreme metal horde Karma Violens are set to return with their fourth full-length album, “Mount of the Congregation”.

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.

Ohio natives Plaguewielder are back with their third album, “Covenant Death”. Expanding on the sounds captured on previous releases, the band has formed into a pulverizing force. “Covenant Death” is the expressions of sadness through suffering and the anger that follows closely behind. The album's cover art, a brief teaser, and more have been issued.
 

Every year there seems to be even more releases dropping than came out in the year prior. Although there is a variety of ways to get noticed, what always cuts through the noise best is music both unique and innovative enough in ways that truly separate it from the pack. Built upon well over a decade of experience as musicians in a variety of projects, Asheville, North Carolina-based duo Stone Healer is excited to announce their incredible debut album, “Conquistador”. Set for release on Friday, April 30th, 2021.

New Hampshire-based blackened melodic death metallers Unflesh are excited to announce their second full-length,“Inhumation”. Set for release on Friday, April 2nd, 2021. The band partnered with artist Junki Sakuraba (Seven Spires) once again to create the killer album art for “Inhumation”.
