The relentless force known as Hammerfilosofi returns this October with their most uncompromising work to date — SIGNUM. A testament to sonic extremity, SIGNUM is more than an album — it’s a proclamation. A declaration of resistance, mysticism, and philosophical warfare delivered with unwavering intent.

"'Curling Serpents Under Stone' is meant to serve as a tribute to the 90’s Norwegian Black Metal scene and bands like early SATYRICON, VED BUENS ENDE, ISENGARD, DARKTHRONE, and EMPEROR," G.Rex explains. "It's my way of paying respects to those who influenced me the most and paved the way for this artistic form and way of life. To them I owe the privilege of standing in the higher seats of Hell’s amphitheater, side to side with bards and predictors of humanity’s downfall.”

Having released their self-titled debut album of progressive noise rock in 2022, French power trio CRATOPHANE returns to the scene with their brilliant blend of post-metal, heavy psych, noise rock and progressive, a sound that has previously earned them comparisons to the likes of SHELLAC, PELICAN, MAGMA, and CARBONIZED.
Their new album, "Exode" is once again an entirely instrumental work. Thanks to a multifaceted yet consistent style and a songwriting skill that has further refined in recent years, CRATOPHANE's music is a sonic journey full of surprises. "These are compositions that fall into the realm of a kind of instrumental, psychedelic, and cosmic prog metal," the band says, "in a spirit somewhere between BLIND IDIOT GOD and PELICAN, but played by fans of VOIVOD and ALUK TODOLO, with a mix of zeuhl-style melodies and many very dissonant, even noisy passages. In other words, a sort of RUSSIAN CIRCLES on LSD, trapped in an inhospitable parallel dimension."
"The Fire Cult Beyond Eternity" is the new album from ONIRIK (Portugal), a follow-up to 2015's "Casket Dream Veneration" and yet another proof of the talent of Gonius Rex, the band's sole member. ONIRIK has been active since 2002 and throughout the years has explored black metal in several approaches, always faithful to its original purpose: the emission of unordinary, dissonant and raw outputs with trance-inducing atmospheres, typically very cold and bathed in magic.
With the special guest participation of none other than Dirge Rep on drums (GEHENNA, ENSLAVED, ORCUSTUS, THE KONSORTIUM), and mixed & mastered by Semjaza of THY DARKENED SHADE, "The Fire Cult Beyond Eternity" is the consequence of the descent and return from below carrying the flames and lava on its scales, giving it back to the world in posthumous vengeance.
VERTEBRA ATLANTIS are born from the imagination of G.G., the artist behind COSMIC PUTREFACTION, one of 2020's most revered death metal bands. In this new metal adventure G.G. is supported by two fellow musicians: R.R. (HOMSELVAREG) on drums and vocals, and Vrangr (SPELLS OF MISERY) on bass.
VERTEBRA ATLANTIS' debut album, "Lustral Purge in Cerulean Bliss" brings to life a relentless blend of dissonant black metal, dark atmospheres and monolithic death metal. The band paints desolate landscapes to be admired in awe. The granite rhythm section, along with annihilating guitar riffs and psychedelic arpeggios, accompanies the hellish screams and cavernous growls of G.G. and R.R. depicting a complex portrait of revenge, anger and despair.
Certainly to be counted among the most talented and visionary contemporary metal musicians, GG sets COSMIC PUTREFACTION aside for a moment to give space to the sophomore release by VERTEBRA ATLANTIS, a project that sees him grappling with a progressive, dissonant and symphonic black/death metal, on the border between late EMPEROR and GORGUTS.
Accompanied by the excellent RR (drums) and GS (rhythm guitars), authors of a masterful performance, GG makes no secret of considering "A Dialogue With The Eeriest Sublime" the most complete and mature work he has released so far. The album is a large canvas on which the Italian musician has poured all his creative flair thanks to intense symphonic brushstrokes perfectly embedded in the geometric shapes evoked by his twisted black/death metal riffs, supported by an equally powerful rhythm section.

Bloedmaan, another brainchild by the infamous Ronarg (also known from Ars Veneficium & Antzaat) presents its debut full length album «Castle Inside the Eclipse».
Those who are familiar with both mentioned bands know what to expect from this gentlemen and can even hear similarities, however, Bloedmaan stands completely on its own.
The music is as Melodic as Antzaat and as Violent as Ars Veneficium, yet, the approach is completely different.
Fast and complex guitar melodies wrapped in a harsh mid 90’s old school sound package with variated drum patterns and those nice low end basslines.
The vocals give you that haunted 90’s Vampyric feeling with a touch of depressive note without entering the suicidal atmosphere.
All in all, Bloedmaan delivers a Hell of a debut album that will take the Black Metal scene by storm without a doubt!
Recommended if you like: Ars Veneficium, Antzaat, Gorgoroth, Horna, Sargeist, Forteresse, Mgla, Azaghal, Spectral Wound.
