Re-emerging after four years in the wilderness from the murky depths of Scandinavian folklore and the heavy underground of Aalborg, Denmark, Bogwife is a psychedelic stoner/doom blues band known for their crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and immersive, hypnotic soundscapes.

Sludge-death metal legends Trudger from the UK are coming back with their first album and new recordings in 11 years!
Their brand new album Void Quest is being released on August 29th through Floodlit Recordings, a new label venture from guitarist of Pijn and Leeched, as well as No Studio producer and engineer Joe Clayton. Expect something absolutely savage.
For the past 15 years, Faber Horbach has traced our connection with the sun through the music of Sowulo, but his upcoming concept album journeys into darkness. Written while grieving the loss of both his father and stepfather, the new single from NIHT is a mythopoetic lament. Looking to Norse cosmology, "Sōl ond Māni" explores the loss of both light and life by using a broken instrument to give death a voice.
NIHT comes out August 29 on Season of Mist.

Known for weaving together towering riffs, polyrhythmic precision and deep philosophical themes, the trio now turn inward, navigating the shifting terrain of fatherhood, grief and hope.
North Carolina's psychedelic doom specialists COSMIC REAPER premiere a dark and creepy second excerpt off their sophomore album "Bleed the Wicked, Drown the Damned", to be issued on September 26th via Heavy Psych Sounds.
