The Boar Metal beasts of BOARZOY have launched the official music for “Agency (Is Necessary),” the first single off their upcoming new album, The Great Fires.

The song perfectly encapsulates the band’s sludge-fueled, groove-forward brand of metal. Imagine a boar running roughshod through the pit at a DIY show and you’ve got BOARZOY.

The band comments on the song, “This track is about doing the right thing, especially in the present moment. It’s also our first release with a music video, so we really wanted to capture the intense energy we bring to shows. It’s a display of our ‘Boar Metal’ sound – aggressive, eclectic and hits hard.”

Watch the video for “Agency (Is Necessary)” now at this location.

Stream the song on Spotify.

BOARZOY plans to release their second full-length album, The Great Fires, this summer. Details are coming soon.

Born out of a shared and deep respect for acts such as Motörhead, Venom, and Sodom, Chäinfist is exactly what it sounds like: fast, noisy, heavy rock at its meanest.

Behind the project are two names well embedded in the Nordic extreme music underground. Trigger is the alias of Owe Inborr, founding member of the Finnish black metal outfit Ondfødt and noise punks Dispyt, the man behind Wolfthrone Studios, the Ostrobothnian recording studio that has become one of the most sought-after rooms in Nordic extreme music, having shaped records for the likes of …And Oceans, Kvaen, Azaghal, Moonlight Sorcery, Morbikon, and dozens more.

On the other side of the room, Bullet, aka Marco Luponero, the frontman known from Luponero and previously Terrorwheel and Altaria, handles lead vocals and shares instrument duties with Trigger across the entire record.

Bullet recalls“I called up Trigger one day and said ‘look, I’m charting new territory with my own music, but I think it would be nice to have some sort of project where I could still channel my Motörhead-style spirit. Trigger understood the drill straight away, didn’t hesitate for a second.”

The two have collaborated on several of Luponero’s releases before, so the chemistry was already there. “We aren’t trying to reinvent anything with Chäinfist”, explains Trigger. “We’re just two guys who feel the need to play very fast and very loud. The songs basically write themselves.”

Listeners got a first taste of what the duo’s been up to in March of 2026, when Chäinfist released their eponymous first single. Now they drop the entire debut album, also titled Chäinfist. Leading the release is the single “The Tomb Is Burning“, accompanied by a music video.

Released by Finnish label Stormbound RecordsChäinfist is available to stream and is also available in two physical formats exclusively from Stormbound’s online store: the label’s proprietary Beatjaxx format and a strictly limited cassette run.

LORD CRUCIFIER: F.O.A.D. Records Present Definitive Psychotic Thrash Archive From Cult Italian Expatriates

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on April 19, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

A cult chapter of Italian extreme metal history returns in its most complete form, as F.O.A.D. Records present the definitive archival collection of early material from LORD CRUCIFIERCataclism, now available as a gatefold 2xLP edition.

Cataclism – Gatefold 2xLP:

An 18-track descent into pure psychotic thrash metal, self-described by the band as “psychic metal,” capturing the unhinged vision of these Italian maniacs who relocated to England during the 1980s in search of total sonic extremity.

This comprehensive release brings together the band’s early demo legacy and unreleased material, fully remastered at Toxic Basement Studio:

  • Cataclism Demo (1985)
  • Myra’s Tape (1987)
  • Who Do You Trust (1989)
  • Unreleased 3-track rehearsal/demo (1990)

Across these recordings, LORD CRUCIFIER’s evolution is laid bare, from raw, dark thrash steeped in Venom and Celtic Frost influences to a more personal and deranged style defined by speed, fractured structures and psychotic riffing intensity.

Packaging:

The release comes as a deluxe gatefold 2xLP edition accompanied by a 24-page full-color booklet, designed by Rich M. Walker (The Metalchemist). The booklet includes rare photographs, flyers, scans of original demo tapes, and archival excerpts from underground magazines and fanzines.

A vital document of a band that turned chaos into identity, now unearthed and preserved by F.O.A.D. Records. Essential listening for devotees of extreme, unfiltered thrash in its most disturbed form.
