The Minneapolis' full heaviness purveyors Nothingness are finally back with their sophomore album!
Crushing, extreme, dissonant, atmospheric and genre bending Death Metal, a cauldronous mix by naturally blending multiple extreme styles together with respect for the history of metal. Enjoy a journey filled with riffs for days!

Formed in Minnesota in Late 2018 by Alex Walstad and Barclay Olson, Nothingness would fill out its line up and self-release their first record “The Hollow Gaze of Death” in 2019. That debut record was rereleased by Memento Mori on CD, and Barbaric Brutality on tape in following years. Now Nothingness has teamed up with Everlasting Spew for their second full length “Supraliminal”.

For fans of Gorguts, Gojira, Morbid Angel, Iniquity.

FLUISTERAARS return with their sixth full-length, Jacht der Mysteriën — three towering epics centered around the pursuit of the unknown.

Drawing from local legends, mysterious lights in the woods, and close observation of their immediate surroundings, the album was conceived as a live and complete band album and captured in a single take with longtime producer T. Cochrane.

Reamped through the hollow cylinder of an abandoned water tower, the record drifts between presence and disappearance — immersive, urgent, and elusive.

Featuring :

+ The Tale of the Horned King (Demo 1993)
+ The Dark Dreamquest Part I (Demo 1994)
+ Tower of the Necromancer (7" Ep 2000)

Born in Ireland's 'rebel county', Cork, in 2013, Soothsayer have built a formidable reputation, not only within the extreme metal community of the Emerald Isle, but wherever powerful, uncompromising and emotive music is treasured and held dear. After two EPs (The Soothsayer and At This Great Depth), a live album (Soothsayer Live In Malta MMXIX) and a split release with compatriots Partolón, 2021 finally saw the release of Soothsayer's full length debut album, Echoes Of The Earth. Praising the album for its ability to successfully meld “the monolithic sounds of doom with sludge, death metal and hefty doses of atmosphere”, Distorted Sound Magazine declared that Echoes Of The Earth had been “well worth the eight-year wait”. Now the time has come for Soothsayer to unveil their second album, one which builds upon the foundations laid down by Echoes Of The Earth and all that came before it, an album that absorbs and enthrals from its first note, holding you in its grasp until the very last…The Unbinding.

Opening in an irresistible shock of venom and velocity, 'Eroding The Sky' sweeps the unwary listener into Soothsayer's most compelling creation to date. Bleakly beautiful, haunted and dangerous, The Unbinding unfurls through the unpredictable power and pulsing malice of 'Sooner Acceptance', into the sombre procession of 'Endless Shesha' with its shifting movements and dark heartbeat, on to 'The Vine', a march through wind, rain and shadow, sadness and wickedness. The magnificent drumming, the colossal underpinning weight of the bass, the multifaceted guitars - fury, majesty, might and terrible sadness - and the incredible vocal performances, so wrought with raging emotion and touched by madness…each member of Soothsayer has delivered performances that lift The Unbinding to new, breathtaking levels. Final track, 'A Vague Shimmer' is perhaps the album's crowning glory, a song that captures the essence of Soothsayer, binds them to their homeland and history and engulfs the listener in momentous melancholy as it whispers of the passing of an age.

With every note imbued with resonance and portent at Last Light Recordings in Dublin (Coscradh, Diocletian, Dread Sovereign etc), The Unbinding is a living entity, rife with ghosts and memories, that has the potential to offer a different experience with every immersion in its cold waters. It will be offered up by Apocalyptic Witchcraft on July 3rd, on limited edition vinyl, digipak CD. Do not let it pass you by unheard, unexplored, unlived.

Skuggor, the solo project of M., an Australian multi-instrumentalist based in northern Sweden, draws its essence from the meeting point between the physical and the transcendental. Deep forests and snow-covered terrain are not merely backdrops, but gateways – spaces where hypnotic states and introspection take hold. On “The Expanse”, this duality comes into sharp focus: the beauty of the northern landscape set against an undercurrent of solitude and quiet desolation.

The foundation was laid somewhere along the long, winding road between M.’s home in Moskosel and the Nordvis headquarters in Arvidsjaur – a woodland stretch largely untouched by modern intrusions. Written to accompany that journey, “The Expanse” takes shape as a series of impressions formed by both the beauty and the unforgiving nature of the environment. While echoes of Burzum, Agalloch, Urfaust, and Drudkh can be sensed throughout, Skuggor reshapes these influences into something distinctly its own.

Musically, the album moves between organic synthesiser passages and harsh, fuzz-laden guitars, with vocals that feel improvised and immediate – less bound to language than to emotion. The result is fluid and instinctive, allowing each composition to emerge as a natural extension of atmosphere rather than rigid structure. Minimalism here is mainly expressed through restraint: repetition, pacing, and subtle shifts that draw the listener deeper into the sound.
