2021 debut.
7 tracks of obscure, oldschool and raw death metal.

Upon the Altar is a new band from Poland and this is their debut album bringing an infernal form of blackened death metal but if you though about Behemoth you’ve got it all wrong, this is goat metal for cultists only.

Sinister as it can be the album has 7 tracks of pure devastation and desecration to destroy christianity as we know it.

Comprising 10 songs across 51 frayed-ends-of-sanity minutes, DeathEpoch 's Abysmal Invocation duly lives up to its title, and then some. To enter its tar-thick and just-as-black depths is to enter a charnel pit itself; the way forward is spread before the listener, but each step deeper reveals fathomless horrors. Much like a fever dream, the delirium-inducing decibels the duo present here paradoxically flow, flitting between crushed 'n' crushing metal one minute and otherworldly ambience the other, its jarring malevolence well and truly drawing that listener toward the outer reaches of madness. Indeed, genre parameters matter not to DeathEpoch when the goal is SONIC ANNIHILATION, utilizing every weapon at hand to evoke the unshakable feeling of Apocalypse in this increasingly desperate 21st Century. Adding to that arsenal are guest vocal parts from the esteemed likes of Mark of The Devil (Cultes Des Ghoules), Vincent Crowley (Acheron), and Kris Stanley (Sinistrous Diabolus, ex- Diocletian), and covers of Sodom and Acheron are given suitably malformed treatment within this Abysmal Invocation.
Given this span of stylistic antagonism, Abysmal Invocation is just as recommended for fans of Mz.412, Prurient, and Brighter Death Now as it is for Beherit, Revenge, and Archgoat. But, upon evidence of this frightening first strike, DeathEpoch have crafted a unique identity worth reckoning. This is the beginning of the end! 

Hailing from Finland - Ancient Obscurity has just recorded debut album which brings nearly 40 minutes of pure Nordic Black Metal. Excellent mix of melody, agression and cold atmosphere.

Polish one-man project - Nyctophilia is back with 6th full-lenght album. Grief has recorded another great opus. Atmospheric Black Metal full of sadness and misanthrophy with very dark ambience. Very strong position among this year’s releases.

Depressive Black Metal outfit Ghost Bath return from touring Europe and North America in support of Starmourner (2017) and the vice-like grip of the pandemic with striking new album, Self Loather. In many ways, Self Loather, the group’s 4th album, represents Ghost Bath’s forward trajectory (musical) and continued exploration of antipathy of the self (lyrical), but unlike any album before it and as the final piece in the Moonlover-Starmourner-Self Loather triptych, it’s the group’s most destructive yet contemplative record to date. While that might have something to do with everyone contributing - though founding member Dennis Mikula remains the visionary core - the unquestionable allure of Self Loather is its songs. From the raw strength of opening track “Convince Me to Bleed” and the melancholy of the strings/piano-driven “Sanguine Mask” to the grandiose horror of “Hide from the Sun” and the slow-burn groove of “Unbearable,” this is Ghost Bath at their creative best

A 45 minutes long lesson in abyssal furiousness and ripping intensity straight out of the caverns of hell. Untamable, pitch-black and archaic Death Thrash Metal, rising from the shadows to embrace the victim with sheer brutality. (Featuring Mors Dalos Ra and Iván Hernández of NECROS CHRISTOS)
