Re-united Swedish death metal four-piece Vomitory is back in action. The tenth album “All Heads Are Gonna Roll” is brutally and technically outstanding, out via Metal Blade Records!

The first day of Steelfest XI also brought a series of explosive and high energy performances to the outdoor stage with Azazel, Utuk Xul, Nocturnal Sorcery, Loits, Pest and Deströyer 666!

On Ascension day, Steelfest XI brought a great collection of stellar underground bands to the festival’s indoor stage with Coraxul, Nattverd, Hail Conjurer, Sacrilegious Impalement, The Committee, Horna and Marduk on the first day of the 3-day fest!

We talked with Angstskríg about their second album, how they feel black metal has lost its touch with its core essence and how they’re looking to renew some of that rebellious side, laughingly calling themselves the new Satan. We also talked about their upcoming 2nd show ever, which is this exact weekend in Helsinki, Finland at the #Horizon23 event!

Thulcandra’s fourth album ‘Hail The Abyss’ offers a whole new set of blackened melodies. The Bavarian act has ripened the quality of their song-craft, displaying furious tempos and a melodic approach to black/death metal. Out on Napalm Records.

Sophomore release “Evenfall of the Apocalypse” of the U.S. death metal act Ascended Dead is fiercely brutal. The riffing and the top-notch drumming is brought to the maximum, which makes the album full of intensity and evil bestiality. This is an intense and brutal death metal record recommended for fans of Pissgrave, Of Feather and Bone, and Lvcifyre, released via 20 Buck Spin!
