Perkeet by Kuolemankello / Svart Records
https://kuolemankello.bandcamp.com/album/perkeet
A blend of original proto-metal and heavy rock, Kuolemankello will release their debut album Perkeet in October. Eemeli Lehtonen, Tomi Helomaa and Matti Kallio founded the band as a noisy counterbalance to the bleakness of the covid era. Kuolemankello's basis is to play loud rock in the spirit of old heavy metal, as if Black Sabbath and Finnish rock legend Tuomari Nurmio started jamming together. Sketchy songs baked around the screaming riffs, rolled up in full-body comping and marinated in a concrete bunker. An original band, with no clear plan or premonition.
Grieving by Barren Path / Willowtip Records
https://barrenpath.bandcamp.com/album/grieving
After completing the final objective and rising from the ashes of the recently self-immolated GRIDLINK, Takafumi Matsubara and Bryan Fajardo now set mission coordinates towards BARREN PATH.
Recruiting Maruta/Shock Withdrawal vocalist Mitchell Luna and re-enlisting grindcore commandos Mauro Cordoba and Rory Kobzina from the Coronet Juniper sessions, this operation requires relinquishing high tech weaponry. Only use of rudimentary blades, precision blast strikes, and amplified guttural attacks is allowed.
Ónkos by BINAH / Osmose Productions
https://osmoseproductions.bandcamp.com/album/nkos
Seven years on from Phobiate, and following a prolonged three-plus-year production period haunted by personal unrest, we bring you BINAH's third album, Ónkos. Divided into two side-long acts, Ónkos takes a deep dive into the processes of illness, loss, and some of what is left (and sometimes exacerbated) in their wake. It is the result of a raw attempt to capture, verbalize, and make sense of these themes almost in realtime. The album was once again recorded by the band, engineered by Aort with input from I.R.G., and illustrated by Jaume Mayans. An honorable mention goes to A. Carrier, who, after a decade of battering service, has vacated the stool to pursue his personal projects. On this new adventure, BINAH are joined by old comrade Storm (Thine, My Dying Bride, Blasphemer, Bal Sagoth, and many others). Having already performed onstage 16 years ago in Germany as part of Code's one-off 2008 live lineup, this album marks their first recording together.
The Unified Field by All India Radio / Independent
https://allindiaradio.bandcamp.com/album/the-unified-field
Transcendence is the name of the game for long-running shoegaze/ambient/post rock group All India Radio. The brainchild of Martin Kennedy, AIR has been spreading its ethereal soundscapes into the universe since 1999, and after a temporary hiatus Kennedy and co-conspirator Mark Wendt are back with the same line up that recorded their acclaimed Echo Other album.
Crossripper by Bastard Cröss / Morbid and Miserable
https://bastardcross.bandcamp.com/album/crossripper-2
This Halloween, blackened metalpunk band BASTARD CRÖSS will unveil the auditory blasphemy that is their forthcoming album, Crossripper via Morbid and Miserable. The debut full-length as been heavily inspired by horror movies, and draws from religious history notably dark and violent documented events.
Tyrannus Aeternum by Burned In Effigy / Independent
https://burnedineffigy.bandcamp.com/album/tyrannus-aeternum
The neoclassical melodic death force known as BURNED IN EFFIGY is set to unleash their newest razor-edged assault.
Rising from the heart of the Midwest metal scene, this Chicago-based quintet has announced a fall release for their much-anticipated second full-length, Tyrannus Aeternum. Following the 2022 release of their debut album, Rex Mortem, BURNED IN EFFIGY has sharpened their sound to a lethal edge. The result is an 11-track onslaught that blends the band’s skillful musicianship and technicality with volcanic brutality.
Heimferd by Danheim / Season of Mist
https://danheim.bandcamp.com/album/heimferd
DANHEIM is a Nordic folk/Viking inspired project from the Copenhagen-based Danish producer Reidar Schæfer Olsen, a man with 10 years of experience in electronic and ambient music – focusing on Nordic Folk and Viking age inspired music with a certain Nordic authenticity or mood. Danheim’s music is often composed of ideas and stories based on the darker side of the Viking period, inspired or consisting of Nordic Mythology, old Danish folklore, and a vivid imagination.
Bianca by Bianca / Avantgarde Music
https://avantgardemusic.bandcamp.com/album/bianca
Bianca is an exploration steeped in the subversive fire of black metal, with a penchant for doom and atmospheric resonances, centered around a female identity that spans different dimensions, from an ethereal presence to a primal rawness.
Crucible & Ruin by Howling Giant / Magnetic Eye Records
https://howlinggiant.bandcamp.com/album/crucible-ruin
HOWLING GIANT take another huge step on their third full-length "Crucible & Ruin", a collection of sparking ideas, captivating melodies, and heavy riffing close to perfection - quite a feat of on-point songwriting for such a still young band!
