Servant are set to release their fourth studio album, Lux Ex Inferis, in October via AOP Records. Expanding on their established style, the new record merges epic structures and haunting melodies, creating a multi-layered sonic landscape where passion meets grandeur.

Balancing tradition and progression, Servant deliver a sound that feels both familiar and forward-thinking—uncompromising, powerful, and darkly captivating.

FIRTAN's new album Helios charts the brutal path to enlightenment: Not as escape, but as conquest. Named after the sun itself, the album explores what it means to become the strongest, clearest version of oneself in a world engineered for distraction and decay.
Helios fuses the raw, atmospheric ferocity of black metal with the crushing weight of death metal, a mirror to the album's core theme: clarity forged through struggle.

Mediabook CD with 16-page booklet and 2 bonus tracks.

FIRTAN's new album, Helios, charts the brutal path to enlightenment. Not as an escape, but as a conquest. Named after the sun itself, the album explores what it means to become the strongest and clearest version of oneself in a world designed for distraction and decay.

Fusing the raw, atmospheric ferocity of black metal with the crushing weight of death metal, Helios mirrors the album's core theme of clarity forged through struggle.

Evocative acoustic and electric violin melodies weave through the compositions, creating tension and complexity with their melancholic and experimental tones. This enhances the band's intricate riffing and unexpected musical shifts. The incorporation of acoustic instruments, ritualistic chants and analogue synthesizers adds layers of depth and atmosphere.

Italy's melodic death doom collective Shores of Null open a new chapter with their new album "Homesick," set for release October 16th, 2026. Once again, the record will be full of sharpened songwriting, emotional depth and the unmistakable blend of doom, gothic, blackened, and melodic death metal that has become their signature. "Homesick" represents the band’s most mature and focused work to date. Conceived as a complete listening experience, the album moves through longing, loss, anger, vulnerability, and the search for belonging. It captures Shores Of Null at their most confident and emotionally honest, balancing crushing moments with some of the most memorable melodies the band has written to date, enriched by guest appearances from Natalie Koskinen (Shape of Despair) with her vocals on "The Numbing Void" and Shaun MacGowan (My Dying Bride) on several tracks, including violin on "Dreaming of a Scar" and "The Numbing Void".

Norwegian progressive black metal stars Enslaved are back with their 17th studio album, 'Mið', which showcases a band that is constantly taking on new challenges and evolving. From the multi-layered beauty of “Tales of Trees” to the devastating, Gojira-esque twist in “Mountain” to the sheer power of “I Am Ice”, 'Mið' is a focused and intense opus that underscores the Spellemannprisen-winning band’s exceptional status in today’s metal scene.

The complete Immortal discography brought together in one exceptional box set — from their 1992 debut, “Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism,” through classics such as “Battles in the North” and “Blizzard Beasts,” to the latest chapters in the band’s history.
The collection brings together all of Immortal’s albums, documenting the evolution of their distinctive sound over more than three decades: from the raw, cold black metal of their early years, through increasingly intense and monumental compositions, to later recordings that brought elements of classic heavy metal more prominently into their sound.
The box set also includes “Northern Chaos Gods” (2018) and “War Against All” (2023), which mark a new chapter in Immortal’s history with Demonaz taking over lead vocals.
Completing the collection is the live album “The Seventh Date of Blashyrkh,” recorded during Immortal’s performance at Wacken Open Air in 2007.
Together, these releases offer a comprehensive journey through more than three decades of music from one of the most recognizable bands in the history of Norwegian black metal.

It’s been six long years since Sojourner released their latest album, Premonitions. Since then, a lot has happened: the band went through lineup changes, signed back to Avantgarde Music and sort of spent a good portion of these years resting, building up ideas and inspiration for what had to come next.

 Gateways is the result of such rest, a collection of seven new tracks, including “Epitaphs”, the digital-only single released in late 2024. And let’s just say that Sojourner is back at full force. The signature sound that made Mike Lamb and Emilio Crespo’s band stand out since their beginnings, over a decade ago, is still there and now taken to new heights.

 Sojourner’s dreamy, folky atmopsheres are still here, now with the powerful addition of Heike Langhan’s (ex-Draconian, Remina) beautiful vocals. At the same, Gateways doesn’t spare speed and fury, with fast up-tempos and monolithic riffs.

 As guitarist and songwriter Mike Lamb states, “Gateways is a labour of love written over the last few years of outward silence, harnessing the soul of everything we've done before while carrying the band forward toward new horizons and opening the way for what comes next.”

 Sojourner’s fourth studio album will be released via Avantgarde Music on CD and LP on July 10th, 2026, right on time to support the band’s first three live gigs after years of absence from the stage.

Emerging from Uppsala in 2015 and taking their name from Pär Lagerkvist's existentialist 1920 novel, DET EVIGA LEENDET have carved a unique and introvert path through contemporary Black Metal, where beauty and suffocation, vastness and claustrophobia exist side by side.

"Vehemence" pushes this melancholic tension further and into broader terrain where churning and urgent post-Metal guitars, radiant leads and mesmeric rhythms propel wounded, hyper-emotive songcraft sustained by the elemental roars of vocalist Jacob Buczarski (MARE COGNITUM, ACATHEXIS).

Pressed on transparent sea blue / black cloudy effect heavy vinyl. Comes with a 2-page insert and a download card. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.

At long last, preorders are open for the English translation of the definitive and critically acclaimed biography of DEATH IN JUNE, one of the most influential and controversial musical entities of all time. Written by Italian music critic Aldo Chimenti in close collaboration with Douglas P., “HIDDEN AMONG THE RUNES” chronicles the epic journey of Death In June starting from the punk beginnings in Crisis and covering its entire history up until 2023’s “Operation Control”, offering a wealth of anecdotes and insights along the way. The book also features a huge array of black-and-white and color photographs, drawn largely from Douglas P.’s personal archives and including some never-before-seen images.

Following the ferocious declaration of intent laid down by 2025’s Demo MMXXV, Milan-based musician Gabriele Gramaglia offers the first full-length manifestation of Lugubrious Garment, In The Wide Vale Of Uncreated Night. Known for his work with Cosmic Putrefaction, Vertebra Atlantis and numerous other entities operating within the more adventurous reaches of extreme metal, Gramaglia established Lugubrious Garment as an outlet for a more ravenous and instinctive strain of death metal; one driven by brute momentum, frenzied aggression and an uncompromising rawness. On In The Wide Vale Of Uncreated Night that initial impulse erupts into a considerably more formidable and fully developed beast.

Italy’s Assumption return with Paradox of the Arrow, a new descent into the strange temporal architecture of death doom. Since their earliest recordings the band have treated the genre less as a monolith set in stone than a space in which mass, duration and atmosphere can be manipulated. On Paradox of the Arrow that process advances further, stretching the apparent distance between one moment and the next time itself dissipates into an altered abstraction.

Assumption’s immense low-end foundations remain, but the band’s heaviness is rarely a matter of density alone. Riffs unfurl geologically, like the convergent boundary to a subduction zone, before abruptly accelerating into passages of violent death metal, only to collapse again into long intervals of suspension, dissonant guitar resonance and spectral ambience. Guttural vocals emerge from deep within while drums alternately measure out enormous spaces and rupture them without warning. Melody appears in oblique fragments rather than conventional resolution, and psychedelic details flicker at the margins, where quiet stillness can feel as consequential as impact and the vibrations of beauty and dread dissolve into an amorphous shimmering light.

Everything created under the name ARCKANUM is an extension of Shamaatae's Thursian spiritual practice and artistic vision. The music is conceived not simply as artistic expression, but as an act of magical will, shaped to evoke specific inner states, esoteric ideas, and atmospheres without compromise or conformity.

From its beginning, ARCKANUM has followed the Left-Hand Path: the way of the outsider, the vargar, standing beyond imposed order and conventional morality. Resistance, questioning, and individual will have always remained fundamental to both Shamaatae's spiritual Work and his approach to art.

The forthcoming album carries this principle further as a complete magical working. Music, lyrics, sound, and visual form have been developed as interconnected parts of the same ritual expression, shaped through intent and devotion within Shamaatae's Thursatru Workings.

Written in Old Swedish (fornsvenska), the lyrics draw upon Old Norse and Swedish poetic traditions while incorporating elements of Swedish svartkonst. They function as mythic charms and narrative incantations, invoking the Thursian current.

Musically, the new material represents a fusion of ARCKANUM's older foundations with Shamaatae's present approach to composition. The new album Beswærilsin cuts deep with a feral, unpolished production, raw with aggression and stripped of unnecessary ornament. Its sound moves between the freezing storms of Niflheimr and the relentless, blazing fury of Múspellsheimr, at once cold and searing, primitive and forceful, carrying the unmistakable spirit of ARCKANUM into a harsher and more dynamic form.

"This what I call imagination and talent employed to produce true art. I have chills from that song and it is followed up “Curse”, a hymn filled with almost nothing but black voices, gasps, growls, hissing, vomit-like emanations, ghost-like screams of anguish – this album is a journey I assure you. I am mentally exhausted. A brilliant release that takes many elements you have heard, many you have not and combines them in a unique way that makes this record an absolute must own."
 

New Mini-CD 7 tracks of blasphemy
 

These songs revolve around the transformation from man to The Übermensch (German for "Overman, Overhuman, Superman, Superhuman), through the purification of the fire and the metaphor of the warrior, mainly taking inspiration from parts of Vijnanabhairava as well as personal experiences of meditation.

Fire is the main element manifested by Shiva, seen as a purifying factor and dissolving, regenerating and annihilating.
In this case also seen as the awakening of a burning and dissolving energy, which brings chaos and destroys the boundaries of mortality to reach immortality.

“Show My Mercy” is an EP about the remorse that humans will feel, when they are stuck in the swirl
of karma made by themselves. Blinded by fury, greed, sorrow, heading for their destruction step by step.

The digipak comes as four-sided panel with booklet-sleeve and eight-sided booklet.

“Our goal – call to blight the life existance. Our weapon – weaknesses and vices of human scum.”
Virvel Av Morkerhatet, Ukraine: a hard atom that represents the defect of the human thought, that is multiplied by self-destruction of transcendental consciousness. Anticosmos through Black Magic.
We know you dreamt about a violent and ruthless edge of Ved Buens Ende, if we can figure this out in our minds.
This is a record that will not leave you indifferent and will nail your soul, a marvellous mix of avantgarde metal and evil fury where every second minute is unpredictable although not pushing too much over the reasonable boundaries of experimentation that every black metal band should safely keep….

Demo d'esordio per questa depressive black metal band olandese, ora pubblicato su formato cd dalla Self Mutilation Services. Durata 20 minuti circa

 

Comprehensive reissue in one only magazine of pioneer fanzine MAGGOT, issue 1 + 2 + 3 originally published in  1994, 1995 and 1999!

Scritto IN INGLESE

In 2004, inspired by the legend of the "Homo Salvadego" - literally "savage man"; a dialectal name referring to a northern italian alpine legend talking about a half-human, half-animal hybrid - the Italian Black Metal act Homselvareg emerged in northern Italy, between mountains, lakes and forests.

Homselvareg's music is vector of contempt, hatred and venom for the path that humanity choose to take, far away from the spirit and the laws of nature. Musically speaking, the Black Metal of Homselvareg is constallated of excellent melodic-oriented riffs, rhythmically fast and structured upon certain dynamic choices, resulting particularly enjoyable for fans of Spite Extreme Wings, Taake and Dissection.

Rooted in atmospheric black metal and post-depressive black metal, “A Caress of Autumn for All the Lost” refuses to remain confined within genre boundaries. Balzarini continuously shifts between textures and dynamics, allowing songs to unfold through subtle transformations rather than predictable contrasts. Instead of relying on the conventional loud-quiet formula, each composition develops organically, revealing unexpected turns while maintaining a remarkable sense of cohesion. Throughout the album, delicate melodic brushstrokes occasionally recall the melancholic elegance of fellow Italian visionaries Novembre, enriching an already expansive emotional palette.

The result is a work enveloped in an autumnal melancholy that permeates every note. Its atmosphere is fragile yet piercing, intimate yet expansive, balancing moments of despair with glimpses of fragile beauty. Every transition feels purposeful, every melody carefully placed, allowing the album to flow naturally from beginning to end without sacrificing intensity or emotional depth.

Una delle avanguardie originali del death metal è tornata! Dopo 38 anni di carriera leggendaria, gli IMMOLATION tornano con il loro dodicesimo album, "Descent". Ancora una volta, i fan di lunga data e gli ignari nuovi arrivati si troveranno di fronte a inni di oscurità e furia, invocati da uno dei nomi più rispettati del genere. Costantemente in tour, in continua evoluzione e con una costante pubblicazione di dischi impeccabili, l'incrollabile dedizione degli IMMOLATION alla musica estrema è culminata nella biografia del 2024, "Into Everlasting Fire - The Official History of Immolation" di Kevin Stewart-Panko, che racconta il loro impressionante sviluppo dai primi demo al leggendario debutto del 1991 "Dawn Of Possession" fino ad oggi. E ora è il momento migliore per immergersi nelle profondità sonore degli IMMOLATION, dato che il loro ultimo lavoro, mixato e masterizzato dal collaboratore di lunga data Zack Ohren, offre una produzione vigorosa che cattura la band nei suoi momenti più infuocati e meditabondi. Per l'artwork, la band si è affidata a Eliran Kantor (Testament, Kreator) che ha creato un pezzo intimidatorio che visualizza perfettamente l'aura di quest'opera. Sarebbe troppo semplicistico usare descrizioni come "pesante" o "brutale"; in "Descent" gli IMMOLATION eccellono nel proporre un death metal che si distingue per una voce unica ed elevata

„Tempelschlaf" is THE RUINS OF BEVERAST's seventh full-length output and sees the band carrying on their sonic morbidity, noises and melodies of a human habitat in its sunset era, while maintaining and refining the widescreen low end that has been sustaining their sound almost from the beginning.

On the instrumental side, „Tempelschlaf" is stripped of quite some abdominal fat, forging the songs with a reduction in length and layers, cautiously leaning towards the stage part of things. Still, TROB's main discipline, the cineastic incarnation of audial nightmares, is omnipresent on the album. While synths and samples have always been playing a bizarrely adamant role in TROB's sound, they reach yet another level of psychedelia and insanity on „Tempelschlaf".

Niklas Kvarforth has, on countless occasions, mentioned the month that he spent together with Christian Larsson and Yusaf Parvez (DHG) in an apartment that they rented in Finland's capital. The three resolved to use this space as a base in which to write, experiment and cause various forms of unspecified damage before heading to Varberg to record the new album. For years, the band has wished that these infamous demo tapes could be released officially somehow. We here at TSI, who recently issued the definitive edition of the very album for which these songs were created, feel that the time has now come to release the recording that the band themselves have stressed: "Is in so many ways far superior to the actual album itself".
