OTHER WORLD is a crushing and contemporary Black Metal band based in California, where ex-members of BLACK SALVATION, PILLORIAN and BOREWORM explore the beauty in chaos and darkness.

After arriving on DMP in authoritative style with epic 2023 single "Of Death and Alteration", the band expand and consolidate their vision via new album "Tenebrous": an intensely emotive and hard-hitting representation of being locked away from the light with only anxiety, loss and grief for company.

OTHER WORLD underpins their cinematic and hypnotic Black Metal with the ripping propulsion of Death Metal and the monolithic solemnity of Doom. A product of seasoned and skilled musicians, "Tenebrous" finds weight by contrasting unsparing lyrical/vocal despondency, low-slung riffing and powerhouse drumming with the judicious use of calming neo-gothic choral sections, uplifting harmonised melodies and the cathartic sense of a fight-back from dark and murky depths.

Open the mouth of Hell: Filii Nigrantium Infernalium, classical portuguese maniac Black Metal pioneers, deliver their 4th album for Osmose Productions.
Crushing, demented production and compositions. Blasphemous disconcerting artwork by cult artist Paolo Girardi. Forged out from the pandemic, this masterpiece is raw, baroque and complexly straight to the point, an unpredictable, insane labyrinth of sound and words.
Sacrilegious and offensive speedthrashblackmetal, grotesque sinister gloom, venomous sarcasm ranging from old school heavy metal to dark sharpened doom and relentlessly wild blasting beats' devastation.

Switzerland's Tardigrada have emerged as one of the leading purveyors of truly immersive, atmospheric extreme metal music. With members based in Basel and Zürich, the band's demo "Widrstand" provides a glimpse into the sonic seeds that would fully grow into their full-length releases.

On "Widrstand", Tardigrada presents a rawer sound that is no less capable of gripping listeners with its keen sense for melody than the band's more accomplished later works. Due to "Widrstand" no longer being available in its original, strictly limited release run, it is long overdue for a re-release. For this occasion, it will feature an additional song entitled "Leere" (which translates to "Emptiness").

Carefully re-mastered by Christoph Brandes of Iguana Studios, allowing for listeners to experience them in a new light, enhancing their original soundscape while retaining the original recordings' essence.

estratto da recensione di metalitalia (recensione integrale a questo link)

"Fluisteraars dimostrano infatti l’assai raro dono della sintesi e ci regalano poco più di mezz’ora di musica intensa, a tratti epica, a tratti sognante, che pure mantiene intatta la ferocia che dovrebbe essere propria del black metal. Trentatré minuti che scorrono davvero bene, complice un’attenzione per le melodie e una cura per i dettagli che non è mai manierismo e nulla toglie alla genuinità di un lavoro che fa centro anche a livello di produzione, che è sporca e lievemente lo-fi quel tanto da ‘scaldare’ le composizioni.
Il campo di papaveri in un cielo terso posto in copertina potrebbe far pensare all’ennesima ‘hipsterata’ furbetta, ma dentro c’è molto di più e di molto meglio, ascoltare per credere."

“INTER”, the debut album of German black metal quartet Fagus, offers six epic dirges deeply saturated with an eerily mesmerising ambience. The songs and arrangements are meticulously woven together, with the band having invested plenty of time and effort into an extensive pre-production process – during which the material underwent a comprehensive transformation from the initial draft to its final version. Consequently, when Fagus entered the studio, they had forged a crystal-clear understanding of what they wanted to accomplish and were able to initiate full tunnel-vision.

Once they emerged from the studio, they carried with them a comprehensive work of black metal fuelled by an atmosphere which, thanks to the tasteful interludes linking all the tracks together, does not let up from the first moment to the last. With some of its members involved in non-metal projects, there are plenty of influences from other forms of music – all processed through the lens of black metal. The result is a unique opus with many different layers to explore, likely to appeal to fans of bands like Imperium Dekadenz and Tardigrada.

This old and rancid sabbatical articulation was consecrated in morbid malignancy through archaic incunabula vampyric texts and the twisted philosophical structure of vinegar blood, the cadaveric cauldron with which these texts are nourished and bathed and the vibrational current of cryptic music, is embraced under the temple of heresy regarding the visions and the reverse trance anointed in mortal blood on octingenti black candles, unbaptized opus that serve as a funerary reminder towards the pestilent and monumental orchestrations of the "Vampyric Arts of Putrefaction".

The bestiality and ferocity are translated into a fiery and black barbaric cadence that is robustly justified with the putrid gloomy emblem of a distant black church, an unbaptized fortress of agonizing mist and black pylons of catacombs and unclean spirits. Die Schattenfestung serves a single evil purpose which is reflected under octingenti black candles of a rotten and cadaverous sound rehearsal as an album of primordial force towards vampyric raw black metal.

Exhumed from sanguine sulfur necropolis by charnel smoke spell, Ecuador’s Wampyric Rites have been evoked once again for another masterclass in raw black metal orthodoxy, with their latest incantation, Summoning the Beasts in the Night of Lycanthropic Moon, being a four chapter grimoire slaked with the lunar thirst of the unquenchable bestial bloodlust. Woven with the prodigal power of wolven tapestry terror, Summoning the Beasts in the Night of Lycanthropic Moon, is awash with epic spell compositions, dungeon synth soliloquy, raging melancholic tremolo, rasping vocal lamentation, infectious percussive patterns, feral grimdark thematics, sorrow storm atmospherics and a full-bodied equilibrium of production putridity—one that mixes these alchemical elements together into true necromantic work of gilded sonic cruelty. Yet another stellar offering from one of South America’s most potent raw black metal cabals, Wampyric Rites have led another salacious audial assault upon the mortal realms, one that any acolyte of tomb cult reverie would be remiss to experience for themselves.
