Let's get started!
Hollerwood by Dope Scum
https://dopeskum.bandcamp.com/
Rooted in gritty riffs and born out of the backwoods, Dope Skum blends fuzz-heavy stoner
metal with a punk bite. With Cody Landress-Gibson (guitar/vocals) hailing from the foothills of
Appalachia and Scott Keil (drums) forging his musical path in Los Angeles, the band’s
upcoming EP Hollerwood is an ode to their contrasting origins and is set for release on Sept. 5,
2025.
Collapse of Pattern, Reverence of Dust by Cult Burial
https://cultburial.bandcamp.com/album/collapse-of-pattern-reverence-of-dust
Collapse of Pattern, Reverence of Dust is a record about erosion — of structures, of certainty, of meaning. Across eight tracks, Cult Burial tears through the frameworks we cling to, carving out something that sits between aggression and despair, weight and absence. The music is dense and layered, yet unafraid of space; at times claustrophobic, at others stripped to bare wire and exposed edge.
Wretch by Pestilential Shadows via Northern Silence / Brilliant Emperor
https://pestilentialshadows.bandcamp.com/music
NORTHERN SILENCE in conspiracy with BRILLIANT EMPEROR are proud to present PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS' highly anticipated eighth album, Wretch.
One of Australia's longest-running and most respected black metal bands, PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS have been building a towering canon of work since 2003. Whereas many of their native land's extreme metal exports either tend toward the chaotic or too clean, the shadowy collective led by founding vocalist / guitarist Balam consistently create compelling swathes of drama and darkness, all-enveloping emotion and regal-yet-gritty grandeur. Truly, PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS are black metal classicism par excellence.
A Dark Poem Part I The Shores of Melancholia by Green Carnation via Season of Mist
https://greencarnationsom.bandcamp.com/album/a-dark-poem-part-i-the-shores-of-melancholia
A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia is Green Carnation’s latest album, the first in a trilogy that is sure to please longtime fans of the band’s epic, landmark release, Light of Day, Day of Darkness. The Shores of Melancholia feels of two worlds; a level of immediacy combined with this insistent feeling that, yes, something substantial is indeed brewing within Green Carnation’s creative minds.
Om Moksha Ritam by INSOMNIAC via Blues Funeral Recordings
https://insomniacvibes.bandcamp.com/album/om-moksha-ritam
Atlanta, Georgia's transcendent post-doom architects INSOMNIAC (with members of Zoroaster, Deceased and Avedissian Pickups) have signed to Blues Funeral Recordings for the release of their debut album "Om Moshka Ritam" on September 5th. The band also announce an extensive fall tour in support of Scandinavian cosmic doom unit Kal-El on their first official US run.
Cascading Misery by Ritual Mass via 20 Buck Spin
https://20buckspin.bandcamp.com/album/cascading-misery
The debut full length album from Pittsburgh’s RITUAL MASS is more than a collection of songs, it’s a series of calculated assaults on the virtue of the holy. Evolving beyond earlier EP and demo releases, Cascading Misery encapsulates the bludgeoning infliction of pain and the slow peel of skin by flame, rife with both sonic chaos and extinguished hope.
Brandung by Coltaine via Lay Bare Recordings
https://coltaine.bandcamp.com/album/brandung
German post-metal act COLTAINE is set to release their new album, 'Brandung', on September 5 via Lay Bare Recordings.
Following the ethereal beauty of their debut, Forgotten Ways, COLTAINE returns with a bold and organic evolution of their signature style. Formed in 2022 amidst the mystic shadows of Germany's Black Forest, the band continues its journey into fog-drenched realms of atmospheric psychedelia, post-rock melancholy, and blackgaze intensity.
