Pre-orders + single are live now
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions are set to release the debut full length album from filthy, vicious Canadian Death Metal destroyers Immortal Force. Mystic Seance Unrealities is up now for pre-order and will be released November 22nd on CD and Digital formats along with merch.

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions welcome Immortal Force with their debut album Mystic Seance Unrealities! Hailing from Western Canada, this four-piece Death Metal band worships the old analog metal sound, the filthiest horror flicks of the ’80s, and anything bizarre, absurd, and menacing! On Mystic Seance Unrealities, these Canadian freaks forego false trends and instead create something timeless, as seen through an otherworldly lens, with themes such as heinous crimes committed without method; dissecting the prophesied departure from life; propagation of extraterrestrial lifeforms; life manifested and subsequently uncreated.
Mystic Seance Unrealities takes listeners through ten devilish tracks of obscure Thrashing Death Metal steeped in abstract ideas & peculiar affairs and features artwork by Paolo Girardi (Power Trip, Revocation, The Black Dahlia Murder). Immortal Force also unleashes two covers, one by the mighty Napalm Death and one by gore masters Carcass.
For congregants of all that’s unknown and macabre, Immortal Force‘s debut is a MUST-listen for fans of Master, Nunslaughter, Pestilence, Demilich, Impetigo, Mortician, Deicide, Timeghoul and all late 80’s/early 90’s EVIL!!

Dallas Toler-Wade comments on the track:
“For me, Barbarian is a prime example of me doing the thing I love and that defines me the most. Continuously striving to improve my craft as a musician and a songwriter. But also the overall message of this song. Live!! Be free!! Find your own path!!! Question everything!!! And also we don’t need politicians or religion to shape our moral centers. In fact, It seems they distort the truth every chance they get. This whole album cycle has seemed to have this recurring theme about the narcissistic oligarchy that we have all fallen victim to. I Dallas Toler, Wade the barbarian, will fight this mockery until I leave the land of the living, and even after that, my powerful voice will echo through the halls of time!! Because I am a barbarian!!”

Australia’s SARCOPHAGUM will release their debut full-length, The Grand Arc of Madness, on December 6th, 2024 through Nuclear Winter Records.
The album track “Feudal Futures” is now streaming at THIS LOCATION.
SARCOPHAGUM spawned to life in the early half of 2021, during the time of the plague as a new project featuring Golgothan Remains members past and present. The purpose being to provide a channel to explore new ideas and sounds in a studio-only setting.
The dark death metal realm remains the primary influence and a debut EP, Conduits to the Underworld, was released in 2022 through Nuclear Winter Records, followed swiftly by a stand alone single, “This Wrought Creation”. Now their full length debut is here, The Grand Arc of Madness. Poised to unleash a soundscape of disharmony and terror over the listener, the angular horror awaits…

Both a culmination of their already characteristic aesthetic and a whole new twist upon it, The Grand Arc of Madness sees SARCOPHAGUM fusing clanging angularity with haunting atmospherics, chaos with eerie melodicism, epic narrative with primal crush.
Mixed and mastered by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios.
Cover art by Khaos Diktator.

For fans of: Ulcerate, Immolation, Adversarial, Golgothan Remains

Metal Blade Records is very pleased to welcome Italian doomsters MESSA to its worldwide roster!
MESSA plays evoking doom metal with Middle Eastern vibes. Deliciously haunting female vocals, ‘70s guitars, and Arabian Oud combine to conjure a sound that is entirely their own. With influences as diverse as Dead Can Dance, Om, Swans, Killing Joke, Electric Wizard, Thergothon, and Current 93, the band has moved from the first occult then noir-tinged doom metal of their previous works to an innovative atmospheric Mediterranean sound. The evolution is clearly showcased in their latest studio album, Close.
MESSA emerged on the first day of 2014. Guitarist/bassist Marco and vocalist Sara began to develop the basic concept while writing the first songs. Later, guitarist Alberto and drummer Rocco joined the band. The extreme diversity of their musical backgrounds immediately proved to be essential in the construction of their sound. In 2016, their first opus, Belfry, was released, and MESSA embarked on several tours across Europe and the US.
By 2018, their second work, Feast For Water, brought the band on tour even more extensively. Their latest studio work, Close, released in 2022, was lauded by critics and defined as, “the sound of a band fleshing out their place in doom metal’s past, present, and future” by Metal Injection. MESSA appeared on such illustrious festivals as Hellfest Open Air, Roadburn, and Desert Fest. The band’s latest record, Live At Roadburn, was released on April 7th, 2023, offering their main-stage triumph, joined by a unique constellation of musicians and instruments. Seeming to both embrace and defy everything it means to be a metal band, MESSA meshes Mediterranean sounds with crushing doom riffs, with an emphasis on atmosphere and an unusual use of instrumentation.
Comments MESSA, “We’re glad to announce we’ve joined forces with the legendary Metal Blade Records. We are beyond stoked to become part of the incredible legacy of this label, marking their catalog with our music. Since 1982, Metal Blade has put fundamental metal artists on the map, and being in this label’s roster is a big honor for us. We can’t wait to share some glimpses of what we are working on! In the meantime, you can catch our live shows in the following European cities.”

International Deathcore/Power Metal dynamos, DRAGONCORPSE, are back and armed with a vibrant new EP, The Fall of House Abbarath! Set for a November 1 release on Shattered Earth Records, the EP is nothing short of a game changer for the quintet.
On the new EP, the band took its already innovative, energetic sound, created through the fusion of deathcore and power metal, and sharpened it to a fine point on The Fall of House Abbarath. DRAGONCORPSE took the feedback gathered from the release of debut EP, The Drakketh Saga, to heart and used it to refine their approach.
“For new fans, I believe we’ve added more elements of deathcore and power metal while adding more excitement into the music for an authentic listening experience like no other band,” bassist Noah Nikolas Laidlaw explains. “We put a lot of emphasis on the atmosphere of the music,” adds drummer Justin Gogan. “Throughout the entire EP there is a medieval theming that resonates in the music that keeps the tracks feeling refreshing and fun. With the addition of Mark on keys/orchestration, he brought with him a completely different approach to songwriting that I am sure fans are going to appreciate!”
FFO: Dragonforce, 3 Inches of Blood, Nekrogoblikon, Lorna Shore, Brand of Sacrifice

ENEMY INSIDE is back with a vengeance, releasing their new single, “Should Have Known Better.”
The modern metal outfit delivers a track that blends fierceness and finesse, unafraid to challenge and redefine the genre. The lyrics drive this message home with a steadfast resolve, showcasing the band’s knack for blending introspective storytelling with raw emotion and heavy-hitting energy, digging deep into themes of betrayal and resilience. “It’s a reminder that you cannot look into someone’s head and should watch out for those uninterested in your success and well-being,”the band explains. “It’s for all the fake friends talking behind your back or only sticking around in your best moments but not at your worst. You tried to play the wrong person – you should have known better.”
Stream it here: https://enemyinside.rpm.link/shkbPR

The accompanying music video mirrors the song’s fierce narrative. Frontwoman Nastassja Giulia takes on the role of a high-society icon, confidently dominating a high-stakes gambling table. The video, crafted by Nastassja alongside creative collaborator and guitarist Evan K, and mixed and mastered by Christoph Wieczorek, seamlessly intertwines sophistication and defiance. It captures the essence of the song’s message — standing strong in the face of betrayal, reclaiming power, and serving a taste of karma to those who have underestimated you.

From Primal Fear Facebook:
PRIMAL FEAR & Reigning Phoenix Music announce the new studio album Domination; welcome new members & unveil initial 2025 tour dates!
Spanning more than 25 years of pure heavy and power metal, PRIMAL FEAR have face numerous challenges since their formation in 1997. Despite these obstacles, the band have repeatedly risen from their lowest points, like a phoenix from the ashes. After a recent line-up change, which saw Thalìa Bellezecca join on guitar and André Hilgers on drums, the group are now in the final stages of completing their upcoming 15th studio album, Domination, which is currently being recorded.
“We’ve entered the studio and we can choose from a pool of about 25 songs! We’re absolutely happy!” smiles founding member Mat Sinner (bass, vocals). Produced by Sinner and co-produced by Ralf Scheepers and Magnus Karlsson, the new offering will be mixed and mastered by the group’s confident partner Jacob Hansen at his Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark by the end of this year.
Long-time guitarist Magnus Karlsson, who has recently returned to the PRIMAL FEAR live touring crew, is once again a vital part of the creative process as well. He adds: “I can’t wait to hit the stage with PRIMAL FEAR again! It’s going to be an incredible ride! We’re going to create something truly special together, both live and in the studio, and I’m so grateful to share this journey with all you metalheads! Metal is forever!”
The metal titans are determined to outdo themselves once again and to surpass the success of their recent album Code Red, which achieved the highest chart notations in the band’s history. Their efforts are progressing exceptionally well. Vocalist Ralf Scheepers states about the current process: “I haven’t felt as great in a long time as I did singing some of the new songs!”
But that’s not all: behind the scenes, preparations are in full swing, and PRIMAL FEAR fans should mark September 5, 2025 on their calendars. This date not only marks the release of Domination but also the launch of a European tour, starting in Hamburg, Germany, and spanning eight countries to celebrate the album’s debut. The tour will be preceded by several festival appearances (more details to be announced soon, so stay tuned!), with their first performance featuring the highly energized new line-up set for Rock in Rautheim next May. Contact: ITM.
Make sure to pre-save the album on your favorite digital service provider (DSP) to not miss its launch: https://primalfear.rpm.link/dominationPR


PROFILER have announced the details of the deluxe edition of their debut album, A Digital Nowhere, that was released earlier this year through SharpTone Records. The news comes alongside the release of a new single titled ‘Notion’.
Vocalist and guitarist Mike Evans comments:
“Notion discusses the theme of loneliness. It delves into how fear and insecurity from childhood trauma can overwhelm the soul, and how debilitating this can be. It’s a song about feeling like a misfit, a reject, an outsider. It’s an emotionally charged track written from personal experience.”
Stream ‘Notion‘ on all platforms now at: https://bfan.link/notion-1

PROFILER will be heading out across the UK as main support to DEFECTS later this year. Full details below.

Virginia thrash titans ENFORCED are back with a vengeance, announcing their latest EP A Leap Into The Dark, set for release on October 25, 2024. The six-song EP features three brand-new ENFORCED tracks alongside three explosive B-sides, including the fan-favorite “Casket” and blistering covers of ENGLISH DOGS’ “The Chase Is On” and OBITUARY’s “Deadly Intentions.” The title track from the EP, “A Leap Into The Dark,” is available now, accompanied by an intense new music video available HERE.
The band’s frontman shares insight into the title track’s thematic depth: “A Leap Into The Dark” is fixated around a very vivid dream I had that I couldn’t forget or erase. Lyrically, it’s about taking a massive leap of faith into a chaotic unknown. It could lead to blessings or towards your downfall. It doesn’t matter; you’re at the moment where you need to make a decision. A Leap Into The Dark is the choice I’ve made. I am not afraid of the unknown.”
A Leap Into The Dark is produced and mixed by the renowned Arthur Rizk (BLOOD INCANTATION, POWER TRIP, KREATOR, CODE ORANGE), capturing ENFORCED’s unrelenting ferocity in its purest form. Building on the hardcore thrash foundation laid by their critically acclaimed albums War Remains (2023) and Kill-Grid (2021), the new EP serves as a harbinger of more to come.
A Leap Into The Dark is the sound of ENFORCED journeying into new levels of intensity and aggression. Fans can expect nothing less than a full-throttle aural assault as the band continues to carve their place in the pantheon of modern thrash.

A Leap Into The Dark Tracklist:
ENFORCED:
Knox Colby (Vocals)
Will Wagstaff (Guitars)
Zach Monahan (Guitars)
Ethan Gensurowsky (Bass)
Alex Bishop (Drums)

In celebration of their 10th band anniversary, German power metal act SERIOUS BLACK will unleash their forthcoming, sixth studio album, entitled Rise Of Akhenaton on September 27, 2024 via AFM Records. A video clip for their latest single, “Take Your Life” is now premiering below!
Band mastermind Mario Lochert comments:
“For me personally, this song is something special, not just because my daughter Emilia sang in the 3-part children’s choir. The song also describes my path in the music industry, when people laughed and said you’re crazy and won’t be able to do it. But at the end of the battle the dead are counted – these are the times when the heroes colide.”

Last month, AMORPHIS released Tales From The Thousand Lakes (Live At Tavastia) via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). Exactly thirty years after its original release, the band celebrated the anniversary of their milestone release, Tales From The Thousand Lakes, with a unique live edition of the record, which represents an essential collector’s item for every AMORPHIS connoisseur. The magic of this work, grandly transferred onto the stage of Helsinki, Finland’s Tavastia Club, displays the band in their full glory: powerful, passionate, and unforgettable.

Tales From The Thousand Lakes (Live At Tavastia) manifests AMORPHIS‘ unparalleled dynamism and artistic uniqueness. Rarely has the raw power and emotional depth of a live performance been captured so authentically as on this sonic memento and extraordinary concert film. With their second album, AMORPHIS erected a monument to Finnish mythology, nature, and music that remains as touching, inspiring, and nurturing today as it was back in 1994.
Tales From The Thousand Lakes (Live At Tavastia) is out now via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM) and can be ordered both physically (CD+Blu-ray-digipak or colored vinyl) and digitally or streamed now at: amorphis.rpm.link/taleslivePR.

From Powerwolf Bandsintown:
This week, we finally kick off our North American tour with Unleash The Archers on Thursday in Los Angeles! Who’s ready to celebrate with us? It’s uncertain when we’ll have the chance to return, so make sure you don’t miss it!


From the eerie mists of the Blue Mountains, Australia, CARMERIA combine the haunting sounds of dark symphonic metal with the lovelorn energy of gothic rock. Today marks the release of their highly anticipated sophomore LP, Tragédie D’amour, and to celebrate, CARMERIA unveil the stunning new video for their latest single, “A Thousand Winter Rains”.
This atmospheric and intense track delves into themes of longing and sorrow, perfectly complemented by the evocative visuals in the video, showcasing the band’s dedication to exploring the more melancholic aspects of the human experience. Watch the video HERE.
Singer/songwriter Jordan von Grae shares: “The past 3 years have been a monumental journey through the peaks of love, and the valleys of loss, and reflecting on these experiences in the writing and production process for this album was both haunting and beautiful. As a writer, Tragédie D’amour took me out of my comfort zone, and the result was a series of wonderful lessons in songcrafting and production, and a newfound appreciation for the vast range of emotions and experiences held in the dichotomy of love and grief. It is my hope that those who listen to our record find solace in the fact that they are not alone in their experiences – the good, and the bad.”
Members:
Jordan von Grae – Vocals | Principal Lyricist & Songwriter | Producer
Jerry Zahija – Guitars
Mishka Bobrov – Keys | Additional Backing Vocals
Emma Louise Nagy – Bass | Secondary Vocals | Acoustic Guitars
Lachlan Blackwood – Drums | Producer

Track Listing:
Since reforming with a new line-up in 2018, the band has been on a momentous warpath through the Australian music scene. CARMERIA’s debut album Advenae (2021) saw the 5-piece garner international acclaim. In the summer of 2021/2022, the group embarked on their first nation-wide tour, culminating in a sold out show in their hometown capital, Sydney.
The following years saw the ensemble write and record music for their 2nd opus, titled Tragédie D’amour, which consists of 10 new songs and sees the band’s sound taking on a more energetic gothic rock approach than its predecessor.
