In 2026—marking the 40th anniversary of their original formation under the name Black Death—the legendary Norwegian duo Darkthrone, comprised of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto, returns with a new high-caliber opus devoted to old metal, under the banner of “Pre-Historic Metal.”
Pre-Historic Metal features eight tracks shaped by primordial epics and colossal riffs, driven by an organic sound infused with the ever-present spirit of the ’70s and ’80s. It stands as a worthy continuation of the mastery already showcased in It Beckons Us All (2024). This new chapter unfolds as a vast odyssey through the sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy, and Doom Metal. Enhanced by punishing, aggressive guitar work, Darkthrone blend a cauldron of wild creativity with a nod to the songwriting methods that defined their late-’80s beginnings—now delivered with a more refined craftsmanship.
This edition of Pre-Historic Metal is available in multiple formats: CD in jewel case with a 12-page booklet, standard black vinyl, limited edition purple marble vinyl, and a deluxe limited box set. The box set includes an exclusive 180g splatter vinyl with gatefold sleeve and alternative artwork by Maciej Kamuda, an exclusive cassette edition, a CD version, a booklet featuring an interview with Harald Fossberg on the making of Pre-Historic Metal, and two posters.
A descent into the most grotesque and shadowed depths of metal: For God Your Soul... For Me Your Flesh by Pungent Stench fuses visceral death metal and grindcore into a disturbing sonic mosaic.
The album shifts between ferocious bursts and sludge-soaked slowdowns, translating the macabre into pure “Gore ’n’ Roll.” Through filthy riffs and a shock-driven aesthetic, it leads the listener into an extreme reflection, suspended between black humor and a raw, unmistakable sonic violence.
Test pressing, numbered X/5 copies
Great things are on the horizon with the debut of French band OPPRESSION and their vehement, multifaceted, and profound black metal of the highest order!
Old buddies, scouring concert halls and bars, G.S.V (vocals) and Tom L (guitar) decided to form a band together, allowing them to control the composition and direction from start to finish. Faced with a growing number of ambient-oriented releases, they wanted to raise the tone with a very straight forward project. Speed, power, and a touch of melody (added with some healthy hate) – this is how they laid the foundations for OPPRESSION, quickly joined by Predark (guitar).
Once the composition of the first album was well underway, they brought in two well-known musicians from the Bordeaux scene to fill the positions on drums and bass: the brothers John (Otargos, Lifestream) and Désert (Lifestream). Together, they finalized this first opus "No Safe Place", ready to hit you without restraint!
OPPRESSIONs lyrics are mostly about religion and a little bit about constatation on the society evolution. Only the last song is different, dealing with sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll (so as not to lose sight of the important things).
Whether it's the music or the lyrics, OPPRESSION didn't try to make something pompous or bombastic, just something frank, direct, and effective. – Hail the Oppression!
