Swedish filth-practitioners BASTARD GRAVE returns after four years with an absolute headclobber “Diorama Of Human Suffering”. Stripping away the traditional Swedish chainsaw sound, BASTARD GRAVE has never sounded more disgusting, repulsive and yet an intriguing aural stormstrike resulting in a swampfuck of a bludgeoning Death Metal record. Recorded, mixed & mastered once again with Ulf Blomberg (Crawl, Age Of Woe, Inevitable End, etc) and the piercingly afflictive artwork by Stewart Cole (Contaminated, Noisem, Scorched, etc).

VORUM is dead! CONCRETE WINDS is deadly! After the outstanding Minialbum ‚Current Mouth‘, finnish VORUM ceased to exist. But the dead can not die for they are still hungry. Up from the ashes a new phoenix rose: CONCRETE WINDS is about to release one of the most bestial recordings ever erupting from the far north by the name ‚Primitive Force‘. 25 minutes of pure blasphemy, sadism & dystopia. In spite of the utmost shredding, thundering and screaming, this album still has musical ambitions. Where ‚Current Mouth‘ ended, ‚Primitive Force‘ starts and drives every audial aspect to the maximum. On the other hand this release keeps every layout aspect to a minimum. CONCRETE WINDS reduce verything to a lo fi, cut & paste undergroundish presentation. They set a statement and raise the middlefinger to a distraction shot from what is relevant. The pure magick of a Death Metal sound and gospel.

After 6 long-awaited years, DEVOURMENT return to form, embodying brutality with their ferocious new album, Obscene Majesty. Featuring drummer Brad Fincher and Ruben Rosas back on vocal duties - a lineup previously only heard on the band's 1999 landmark album Molesting the Decapitated, the pioneers of brutal death metal sharpen their blades once again, and unleash some of the most disgustingly heavy slam ever!

Lead guitarist Esa Holopainen and drummer Jan Rechberger formed the band Amorphis in Finland in 1990. To complete their lineup they recruited vocalist/guitarist Tomi Koivusaari and bassist Olli-Pekka Laine. They released a demo in 1991 called Disment of Soul. The demo was so successful in getting attention for the group that they acquired a record deal and released an EP the same year…

San Diego slamming brutal death metal band, Pathology, formed back in 2006 by Dave Astor (formerly of Cattle Decapitation and The Locust) have just dropped their latest track, Hieroglyphs On Cement Walls, taken from their up-and-coming album, Reborn to Kill. Produced and mastered by Zack Ohren at Sharkbite studios (All Shall Perish, Decrepit Birth), the artwork for Reborn to Kill has been once again created by the mighty Par Olofsson. The record also features guest vocals by Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder. Astor comments: "This is by far the best Pathology to date. Everything came out very heavy. We added some new elements this time around and we are excited to see what everyone thinks. We also brought back the evil doctor from the dead so he can continue running his zombie army!"

Sixth studio album from Malta's death metal outfit & biggest metal export, Beheaded. Forged from the darkest depths, "Only Death Can Save You" breathes violence and marches fearlessly down its death metal path. Summoning the visceral classic and the caustic edge of later death metal, the new punishing album spreads its aural horror with razor sharp precision. To explain the title & concept of the new album, the band commented: "With 'Only Death Can Save You' our intent was to artistically delve into the deepest, darkest corners of the human psyche and follow a creative path into the obscure frame of mind a person has when facing death, which, is the ultimate most terrifying experience and yet the only ‘salvation’ from life. This is a concept reflected in the lyrics and also captured in the album’s artwork".

Death metal machine Ulvedharr is ready to release their much anticipated new album ‘World Of Chaos’ on May 24, 2019 via Scarlet Records. The band described it as their most mature and groovy work so far, perfectly balanced between the primordial old school death metal influences and the modern thrash/death solutions with dissonant black metal interferences that they’ve displayed in recent years.For the first time in their career the four piece leaves behind the medieval/mythological lyric concept to embrace a modern vision of human existence, controlled by the rules of chaos. This new approach will throw you in a spiral of fear, paranoia & self-destruction. ‘World of Chaos’ has been recorded between February and March 2019 at Underground Studios Sweden in Västerås by Pelle Saether (Månegarm, Necrodeath, Opera IX, Flashcrawl). The amazing artwork was made by the master Paolo Girardi (Inquisition, Firespawn, Manilla Road, Nocturnal Graves). The Album features a very special guest appearance by Lars Petrov from Entombed A.D. on the song ‘Death Stare’.
