NOCTURNAL DEPARTURE "Altars of Evocation" [from 'Spiritual Cessation' LP 2026]

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 01:01:19 +0000

⚔️ LP, CD, MC, TS available here: https://shop-hellsheadbangers.com/searchAdvanced.asp?Search.x=0&Search.y=0&searchfor=NOCTURNAL%20DEPARTURE HELLS HEADBANGERS proudly presents “Spiritual Cessation,” the title track from the upcoming third album by NOCTURNAL DEPARTURE. The band will debut material from the record this May on tour with Spectral Wound and Nächtlich. In 2022, NOCTURNAL DEPARTURE made their presence felt in the international black metal underground with the release of their second album, Clandestine Theurgy, courtesy of new label home HELLS HEADBANGERS. Here, the Canadians delivered a masterclass in late '90s black metal, particularly that found on North American soil during that time: traditional, yes, but with an acidic personality all its own. Raw, desperate violence had been harnessed into a haunting panoply of indeed-clandestine arts. Now, NOCTURNAL DEPARTURE emerge from winter snows with torches ablaze on their third full-length, Spiritual Cessation. This album marks a significant milestone for the band, introducing their first recordings with new members Folterer on guitars and Hexzul on drums. Their addition brings renewed intensity, precision, and depth to the evolving NOCTURNAL DEPARTURE sound, rendered in raw-yet-ringing tones and even-more-haunting atmosphere. From a songwriting standpoint, Spiritual Cessation represents a natural progression—their most focused, dynamic, and professionally realized material to date, all within the remit of proudly ancient BLACK METAL. While the album explores new territory, be it wider variety of riffcraft or remarkably fluid rhythmic shifts, it remains firmly rooted in the identity and foundation that define NOCTURNAL DEPARTURE. Truly, this is "Deathcraft Majesty," to invoke one of the record's highlights. Featuring striking cover artwork by Greallach Arts, the visual presentation reflects the themes and atmosphere of Spiritual Cessation, offering a glimpse into the depth and spirit behind the music.

They seamlessly integrate various influences and their music even bears black metal influences in some of the songs. They show that the dissonant death metal style doesn't necessarily have to be complicated or inscrutable. You can listen to a new song now. Band's statement - "We didn’t plan to start a new band with Carbon Tomb. Actually, some of us fought it. But it spawned itself from the cadaver of our former group. A newborn necromorph disproving that growth can’t come from pessimism. Encapsulated in this swollen mass we sensed some form of resonance from the unwashed building stock of northern Copenhagen. And we found ourselves within Carbon Tomb. It is with great gratitude that we have signed with Transcending Obscurity Records. This is a legit label with a long list of releases with integrity. Releases that echoes the horrors of other worlds. And makes the suffering of this world somewhat more bearable. It is with disbelief that we now release our “Passage to a Neutron Star” through Transcending Obscurity Records. We are honoured and thankful of the recognition from the label. Chanting dissonant spells from here on and out." Line up - Richardt (Dysgnostic) - Guitars and shrieks Jeppe - Bass and growls Mikael - Drums Artwork by Graphic No Jutsu

Necrofier - Fires of the Apocalypse, Light my Path I (Official Video)

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 02:01:07 +0000

Buy here: http://www.metalblade.com/necrofier "Fires of the Apocalypse, Light My Path I" is the latest single from Houston, Texas-based black metal alchemists NECROFIER. The track comes by way of the band's smoldering new full-length, Transcend Into Oblivion, set for release February 27th on Metal Blade Records. Directed and Edited by: Bryan Forrester Cinematographer: Dan Mohr https://www.instagram.com/necrofier https://www.facebook.com/Necrofier https://www.youtube.com/@necrofier1818 https://necrofier.bandcamp.com/music NECROFIER are rewriting the rulebook in their own blood. Since 2018, the quartet has applied a spicy Texan intensity to the icy atmospheres of mid-’90s Norway, and Transcend Into Oblivion deploys their modus operandi with more power, conviction, and ingenuity than ever before. Here NECROFIER crafts a modern classic of the form, where tempestuous squalls of extremity are punctuated by sinister, melancholic, otherworldly melodies, twinkling in the gloom like will-o'-the-wisps on a black night. "This album really ended up where I always wanted us to go," vocalist/guitarist Bakka reflects. "It also had me digging deeper into the journey, into myself and basically everything to get it here. I felt the way the record makes you sound. Sometimes surrounded in chaos and sometimes in moments of accession. I really like what we did on the previous album, but it doesn't compare to what we have accomplished on the new one." While 2023's Burning Shadows In The Southern Night was a redoubtable beast, edging NECROFIER closer to a radiant apex, as its name suggests, Transcend Into Oblivion surpasses their previous work and elevates the band to a higher plateau. Themes and lyrics are oppressively dark and conceptually linked with the number three being especially significant on this third LP, a three-act structure comprising three three-part suites, separated by three instrumentals. "The other records have different concepts, but they weren't drawn out in one big piece like the new one," says Bakka. "From the creation, the record is based on a Luciferian Dark Night Of The Soul. ‘Fires Of The Apocalypse Light My Path’ is the awakening. The first three songs are experiences and dreams that were happening as this change began, and I questioned everything I was doing. It starts feeling as though a new fire has been lit, but it grows dark as we venture into the second act, ‘Servants Of Darkness Guide My Way.’ This is the struggle and torment that comes along with the awakening. Realizing things from the past are no longer true and you see the world in a different way, and it isn't easy. This leads into Act III, ‘Horns Of Destruction Lift My Blade.’ This is the rebirth or accession. You have been transformed; you are not who you were before. Everything has changed, you see the world differently and you take what is yours." In advance of the record’s release, today the band presents “Servants Of Darkness, Guide My Way I.” Bakka elaborates, “The torment and struggle that comes along with awakening. The descent into darkness to be reborn. Where at first you thought everything was done, now you learn that these trials are what help shape you while they drive you mad.” LYRICS: Forbidden, locked away Guided by unholy flame Cursed by light Open your eyes Ascend the divine Bring us further in this storm Bring us nearer to the door Silence brings us time To unlock what is thine To free us from the path The dark, dying on the sun Engulf me in flame Born, light, dark Not meant for this world As the light dances on the edge of my soul Ascend beyond

Pig's Blood - Strikeforce of Isolate Will (Dark Descent Records 2026)

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 02:01:15 +0000

"Strikeforce of Isolate Will" is the closing track off of the new album from Pig's Blood. "Destroying the Spirit" will be released on CD/Vinyl and digital formats on April 24th, 2026, via Dark Descent Records. Order: Dark Descent Records https://www.darkdescentrecords.com/shop Dark Descent Records EU Store https://www.ddmsuo.eu/ Dark Descent Records Band Camp https://darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/ Dark Descent Records Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DarkDescentRecords Bestial death horde PIG'S BLOOD are going scorched earth with their inaugural release under the Dark Descent Records banner. "Destroying the Spirit" sees the band reach a new level of relentless, blackened brutality. An unholy barrage of volcanic riffing and abyssal hostility, "Destroying the Spirit" is violence incarnate. Hailing from Milwaukee, PIG’S BLOOD have spent the last decade-plus unleashing their unrepentant strain of death metal upon the underground. While often grouped under the banner of war metal, their sound stretches far beyond any single label. Drawing from the raw, militant fury of bands like Revenge and Blasphemy, PIG’S BLOOD fuses that chaotic savagery with a backbone indebted to early ’90s American legends such as Deicide, Order from Chaos, and Incantation. The result is a malformed yet deliberate hybrid—bludgeoning battle hymns delivered with a sharp, serrated edge. Through sheer force and conviction, PIG’S BLOOD continue carving out their own brutal stronghold within the death metal underground.

From The Waters Of Death - A Retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh (Excerpts)

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 02:01:19 +0000

SWORDS OF DIS - From Egalmah They Rode Toward The Howling Cedars Where The Blood Of Beasts Is Spilled And The Silence Of A Scorned God Cracks The Earth 08:12 4. SWORDS OF DIS - Blood Stains The Altar Of The Sun And In Ishtar's Mourning The Feral Lord Of Desolation Awaits The House Of Dust 13:10 5. MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY - From The Setting Of The Sun And Through The Waters Of Death, The Faraway, Uta-Napishtim, Lies Hidden 18:12 2xLP (Ltd 200)/Digital release date: February 13th, 2026 ORDER NOW EU Eshop: https://metalodyssey.8merch.com US Eshop: https://metalodyssey.8merch.us Bandcamp: https://i-voidhangerrecords.bandcamp.com Over two years in the making, "From The Waters Of Death" is a conceptual split album that brings to life an ambitious project: To tell the Mesopotamian myth of Gilgamesh, the world's oldest epic, through music. The poem recounts the deeds of the king of Uruk, a strong and arrogant demigod who oppresses his people. To Gilgamesh the gods oppose the bestial Enkidu, a wild hero who lives among animals and that defeats the king of Uruk in battle, teaching him temperance and balance. The two become inseparable friends and embark on heroic adventures until Enkidu's death, a tragic event that drives Gilgamesh on a desperate quest for immortality, finally discovering that true immortality lies in the works and wisdom left to posterity. Telling the story are four bands characterized by darkly epic songwriting: first of all, Dis Pater's MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY, who with its cosmic metal has repeatedly tackled concept albums with a mythological flavor; then the english duo SWORDS OF DIS, somewhat the directors of the entire work, whether for the theatrical power of their doom-tinged black metal, and for the fact that singer Alice Corvinus' vocals act as a trait d'union between all the tracks. And finally ÔROS KAÙ, the black metal project of Guillaume Cazalet from NEPTUNIAN MAXIMALISM, and the Finnish deathsters SERPENT ASCENDING by Jarno Nurmi (DESECRESY), both equally at home with concept albums with dark and majestic atmospheres. Equally important is the amazing work of artist David Glomba, who took care of the cover drawing as well as the magnificent paintings and cuneiform writing that are beautifully displayed in the sumptuous large booklet. Through 5 long and articulate tracks on the border between death, black and doom metal, "From The Waters Of Death" beautifully captures the essence of the Gilgamesh myth, who represents mankind's irrepressible need to understand the meaning of existence through the value of human mortality.
