BIO:

Ninth Realm is a death-thrash band founded in Maryland and the surrounding DMV area. Formed in 2019, the band has released six individual recordings, including a demo, two EPs, a promo tape, and a full-length album, as well as several splits and compilations with other bands. Drummer Joey Burke and lead guitarist Liam McMahon started the project while in college at the University of Maryland.

Conceptually, the band draws from Joey’s original dark fantasy world, Tythorin; a setting shaped by themes of vengeance, fate, grief, trauma, and the indomitable willpower of the human spirit.

SNĚŤ to Unleash New Album V bažinách vědomí ~ Video for “Kladivo ve tmě” Now Streaming

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on July 12, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Czechia OSDM beasts Sněť are set to release their newest full-length, V bažinách vědomí.

Having annihilated the underground with their 2021 debut LP and kept things flowing with two splits in the interim, this promises to be an excellent slab of old-school death metal.

Experience the madness to come with the music video for the album’s first single, “Kladivo ve tmě.”

Watch now at this location.

V bažinách vědomí is due out on September 10 via Me Saco Un Ojo (vinyl and cassette) and Dark Descent Records (CD and cassette).

Pre-order the album at: 

mesacounojo.com

mesacounojo.bandcamp.com

darkdescentrecords.com/shop

ddmsuo.eu

darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com

Sněť is:
Krutörr – drums
Hnisatel – guitars
Hrdlořez – bass
Ransolič – guitars
Řád Zdechlin – vocals

V bažinách vědomí kicks right in with ominous and eerie atmospherics coupled with some absolutely revolting grooves; it is clear these fiends mean business. It should be abundantly obvious that Sněť have been refining their craft to something precise and lethal.

Keeping those ’90s hallmarks intact while adding subtle touches that show they’ve found their own identity, the album delivers a gruesomeness and discomfort that reflects the band’s evolution without sacrificing any of its punishing intensity.

Consuming the listener with an eldritch atmosphere while piercing through the fog with pure rancidity, Sněť’s new album boasts a massive production that crushes with total morbidity. Combining the mulch-like tones of death metal’s golden era with an even warmer, more classic sound creates a devastating mix.

Beyond its grotesque exterior lies a savage and gripping record, balancing memorable hooks with violent, chaotic passages. There is no pretence to Sněť, they simply play death metal the way they want to hear it, and that shines throughout V bažinách vědomí. If you love brutality, grooves, death, and riffs, don’t miss this one.

V bažinách vědomí – track list:

1) Tíha světů

2) Kladivo ve tmě

3) Natur

4) Ve stínu slunce

5) Apokalyptický smaragd budoucí doby

6) Moskyt

7) Jako každý

8) Nekončící koloběh snění a probouzení

9) Dřevěný kůl

10) Znetvořená panna

V bažinách vědomí was recorded at Golden Hive Studio by Amák Golden, and mixed and mastered by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios. Cover art by Řád Zdechlin (Tomáš Mitura).

NO CURE RELEASES MAMMOTH DEBUT ALBUM, IT IS GOING TO GET DARK

Posted in hardcore, hardcore bands, hardcore metal, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , on July 12, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

NEW VIDEO FOR ‘BRAIN MATTER DISPLACEMENT’
STREAMING NOW!

Alabama metallic hardcore wrecking crew NO CURE have officially released their long-awaited debut full-length, It Is Going To Get Dark, available now via SharpTone Records. To celebrate the album’s arrival, the band has also unveiled a new music video for the crushing standout track, ‘Brain Matter Displacement.’

Across twelve unrelenting tracks, It Is Going To Get Dark captures the fury, frustration, and uncompromising intensity that has made NO CURE one of the fastest-rising names in modern hardcore. Blending metallic aggression, death metal precision, and hardcore grit, the album pushes the band’s sound further than ever before while remaining rooted in the raw energy that has fueled their rapid ascent.

Commenting on their debut, vocalist Blaythe Steuer says: 

“There is a deep malaise overhead as we are subjected to the way the world is turning. It is clear that things are getting worse, and there is no end in sight. This fixation combined with the gruelling touring lifestyle we’ve lived the past few years has resulted in the perfect first No Cure LP. We recorded this deep in the woods of Alabama between tours, and loss surrounded the band as it was being written. Despite the great shows and tours we’ve been doing, this has been a painful time for the band. Each song has purpose and it is critically important that we deliver a record that is worth listening to from start to finish. If you don’t see that it is going to get dark yet… you will soon.“

Coinciding with their new release, the new video for ‘Brain Matter Displacement’ delivers a fitting visual companion to one of the album’s most devastating tracks, matching its relentless pace and crushing heaviness with a visceral performance-driven presentation.
