Vader’s Peter Wiwczarek shared:

“VADERMANIAX!!! We ended the summer concert season with three concerts in the last weekend of August. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH for wonderful moments and total craziness and Massive Music for organization and great atmosphere on all trips in the summer season 2025.

These were also the last concerts in 2025 in Poland and Europe. Upcoming plans are the Carnival of Death Tour in the USA and Canada in October. Because we and Massive Music are still receiving inquiries about more concerts in Poland, we will try to organize one more weekend in December this year. I hope that in 2026, we will see each other more often at the common craziness in our country. It will be the 20th anniversary of the album Impressions In Blood.

We will also like to remind you of the wider Kingdom (expect a new edition of this title soon). There are also plans for something special that we haven’t done before… but let’s wait for the specifics. The new Vader album will definitely be made next year – but let’s rather expect the release at the beginning of 2027. Below is a memento KAT cover from the concert in Zamo Pć in August shared from the Janusz Bb collection. Thanks.”

UMULAMAHRI Announce Debut EP – Learning the Secrets of Acid

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on September 21, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Featuring members of Baring Teeth, Pyrrhon, and more

Death metal outfit UMULAMAHRI will unleash its debut album, Learning the Secrets of Acid, this fall on Ordovician Records.

Pushing the limits of extreme music into stranger and more corrosive territories, UMULAMAHRI is comprised of a formidable lineup of underground innovators. The band features Andrew Hawkins of Baring Teeth and Doug Moore of Pyrrhon, Seputus, Glorious Depravity, and Weeping Sores. Session drummer Kevin Paradis adds his trademark percussive firepower to the band’s sound.

Learning the Secrets of Acid is a densely cerebral excursion into warped riffs, fractured rhythms, and unyielding intensity. The album redefines the framework of death metal, crafting something volatile, unpredictable, and deeply unsettling.

This becomes evident after listening to the EP’s lead single, “Orifice Invocation.” Listen now on BandcampSpotify, and Apple Music.

Texas Hateful Death Metal Outfit CALCRAFT, to Release Reborn Through Torture Album on Lifeforce Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on September 21, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Satisfying Strangulation Single/Video Out Now!

Texas-based hateful Death Metal outfit, CALCRAFT, recently signed to Lifeforce Records, are set to release their debut album, Reborn Through Torture, on November 21st (physical release January 30th).

With the uncompromising credo “Unrelenting death metal. No trends. No mercy.” CALCRAFT define their sound and with their debut album “Reborn Through Torture” they deliver a merciless statement against anything watered-down or trend-driven.

The Texas-based outfit stands for raw, hate-fueled death metal, deeply rooted in the legacy of Immolation, Suffocation, and Incantation. But CALCRAFT go further: their songs are steeped in dark atmosphere, thrashy aggression, and a cinematic violence that feels ripped straight from the bloodiest scenes of Giallo and slasher films.

Their name is no coincidence. William Calcraft, England’s infamous executioner, serves as a grim source of inspiration. Like their namesake, CALCRAFT show no mercy: their music is an auditory noose, each track an execution. Reborn Through Torture is a blood-soaked manifesto of riffs, madness, and horror, dragging the listener into a world of pain and cinematic carnage.

Each song tells a story of insanity, torture, and final breaths. CALCRAFT don’t aim to entertain, they aim to disturb. Their goal is to create a threatening sonic landscape that sounds like “a blood-soaked soundtrack to the final scene you never survive.”

Those who face this album won’t be spared. CALCRAFT hold themselves to their own brutal standard and deliver death metal in its most relentless, uncompromising form.

The album’s first single, “Satisfying Strangulation” is available now on all digital platforms:
