Germinated from the contaminated cadaver of Pacific Northwest death metal overlords Dripping Decay, Oregon’s RIPPING REMAINS emerges in 2025 to continue a legacy of catchy, horror-themed, oldschool death/grind with their Necrodestiny EP, set for release on October 3rd via Satanik Royalty Records.

Canadian progressive metal band Omnivide return with their most ambitious work to date. The band have announced their upcoming EP Arise is set for release on 10th October via Seek & Strike.
Prepare to be drawn into a world where catharsis meets the desert's desolate beauty. Dark psych folk visionary NERO KANE, alongside his enigmatic collaborator Samantha Stella, is set to release his fourth studio album, "For the Love, the Death and the Poetry", on September 26, 2025, via Subsound Records. Accompanying this announcement is the unveiling of an experimental short film for the album's lead single, "As an Angel's Voice", a track described by Kane himself as "A desert of the soul. The Love we were never given, a flutter of wings, the fall into the End. The Eternal."
Ukrainian progressive rock/post-hc band Vøvk will release their upcoming new full-length record, "Litera", on October 3 via kontrabass. The band presents their third single, "Mur", accompanied by a monochrome music video. The song reflects the emotional landscape of the first days of the Russian full-scale invasion, when daily life shrank to the narrow corridors of apartments, and people sought comfort in fragile illusions of safety.

Maggot Stomp is proud to announce the debut full-length album from death metal upstarts Dying Remains, Merciless Suffering, set for release on Friday, September 19th. The band has also unleashed a chilling new music video for the track "Hung and Drawn,".
Last year, Ponte Del Diavolo made their mark by bridging the gap between two nefarious corners of the underground on their fiery debut album. Fire Blades from the Tomb welds doom and black metal into a towering, twisted new wave of dark art that's as cruel and mesmerizing as their native Italy's infamous Devil's Bridge.
As they prepare to unfurl their next deadly creation, Ponte Del Diavolo are releasing a new video from their mesmerizing performance at Roadburn. Weaving enchantments of synth, theremin and clarinet into their ritual dance with death, "Covenant" burns with newfound intensity when stoked by the fiery response from this year's festival crowd.
