From the primordial magma before the beginning of time come FOSSILIZATION. Obscure, vile and crushing Death Metal.
Fossilization is a death metal band formed in 2020. The duo featuring members of the sludge/death/doom metal band Jupiterian, V. (voices, guitars, bass) and P. (drums) started as an idea right after their european tour with Krypts, Father Befouled and Encoffination but since Jupiterian was still working on their last album, the project had to be delayed and it only turned to full time band after the striking of the plague.
Their 5 tracks debut EP, 'He Whose Name Was Long Forgotten' was recorded in their hometown, São Paulo - Brazil and mixed by Otso Ukkonen (Krypts).
Emerging once again from the abyssal depths of the underground, FOSSILIZATION return with "Advent of Wounds", a work of sheer ferocity and oppressive gloom! A relentless onslaught where its frantic and inexorable rhythms hammer with suffocating intensity, while riffs coil like sepulchral invocations in a maelstrom of death, doom, and blackened chaos.
Bleak, crushing and claustrophobic, "Advent of Wounds" is a summoning of despair that drags the listener into a chasm where brutality and anguish entwine. A suffocating testament to extremity that confirms Fossilization as one of the most formidable forces in contemporary death metal!

Baltimore Maryland’s weirdo death thrash stalwarts NUCLEAR TOMB have spent the last decade sharpening their singular attack and get ready to riot with riffs and explode like a molotov with their debut full album "Terror Labyrinthian"! Taking cues from old school tech thrash and progressive death metal, Nuclear Tomb seem determined to prove that metal still strives in the underground and that these frameworks still have ambition and depth to give!
Formed in 2011, the Baltimore death thrash quartet draws from a wide pool of influences that manifest in sounds ranging from classic metal tropes to the limits of noisy punk experimentation. Focusing on dynamic songwriting and high energy, aggressive live shows, their dedication to DIY touring has earned them a reputation amongst fans looking for fellow heretics of the same faith.
After two self-released EP’s and a handful of east coast tours, Nuclear Tomb are unveiling their debut full length “Terror Labyrinthian” to be released by Everlasting Spew Records. Its emphasis on raw aggression, left-field ideation, and musical acrobatics is the antidote to increasingly reactionary and predictable trends in modern metal. Mind Thrashing Sonic Nightmares!

This winter & historical Black Metal is true Marchigian Black Metal!
“Picenum (True Marchigian Black Metal Renaissance)“ is the natural continuation of “Fra Li Monti Sibillini”, expanding its concept to the entire Marche region (the title Picenum indicates the ancient name for a large part of this region). The album is set mostly in the late Middle Ages but also at the beginning of the Renaissance (here highlighted in its darker sides, experienced through the darkness of my region and the places where I was born).
After a brief intro about the region’s ancient origins, the album is divided into 3 parts:
• The first is dedicated to the history and the very dark legends of the region Marche: the Da Varano Lords who rebelled against the Church by joining the Cursed League in 1375; the history and legend of the Rocca di Pitino (Pitino Fortress) and its deconsecrated church and cemetery; the history and legend of the very dark Roccaccia (The Ugly Fortress) and its warlord necromancer, a servant of the devil.
• The second is dedicated to the folklore and legends of my region: lu lupu mannà (the Marchigian werewolf), the Mazzamurello (a dark Marchigian sprite), the Sdrega (the Marchigian witch), before returning once again to the Sibilline Mountains... In this part, Hesperus’ grandmother’s voice (R.I.P.) narrates these folklore legends a couple of times (she knew quite a few). Here a bigger amount of Marchigian dialect than italian (more than Fra li Monti Sibillini)
• The third and longest part is, in fact, a continuation that closes the circle with the previous album, and the part is “Ritorno fra li monti Sibillini” (Return to the Sibilline Mountains), with two tracks focusing on the goat-fairies and the Sibylla, and another two tracks that speak of the geographical novel of the Chevalier De la Sale, a real historical figure who was tasked with exploring the Sibilline Mountains and understanding what was inside the Sibylla’s cave (thus, not a knight from an epic poem like in the previous album); he truly met the inhabitants of Montemonaco (Mons Daemoniacus) who led him to the vestibule of the Sibylla’s cave (on the summit of Monte Sibilla)
and told him numerous stories of those who entered the cave, including that of a German knight who returned because he was not forgiven by the Church and remained there... forever (the last track: the final 12’ suite).
Stylistically, the album has many similarities with the previous record (a Mediaval Black Metalin the vein of ‘90s) but adds some Renaissance parts and some ‘80s proto Black Metal passages.
As you will notice, there are folk/ambient interludes as in the previous album, but they are not on separate tracks; they are at the end of each track (incorporated into the tracks even if they appear in the tracklist).
Fellwarden was a concept forged by The Watcher (Fen, De Arma) back in 2014 to give voice to an epic, exultant form of black metal that nonetheless carries with it echoes of deep lamentation and remembrance. The Watcher’s goal was simple – to tell tales of sacrifice, of long-forgotten heroism and the rearing timelessness of the storm-forged landscape against a backdrop of windswept extreme metal. Fellwarden’s sound is steeped passionate vocals, subtle waves of keyboards, acoustic guitars, booming choirs and powerful riffs, underpinned by a cavernous percussive battery courtesy of Havenless (also of Fen).
Comes in a 6 panel digipak with matt varnish and metallic prints, with artwork from Adam Allain (Fen) and layout by IK (House of Inkantation).
