Hagzissa - Revelry of a Maltreated Jade / Iron Bonehead
https://ironboneheadproductions.bandcamp.com/album/hagzissa-revelry-of-a-maltreated-jade
IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from HAGZISSA, Revelry of a Maltreated Jade, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Over six years have passed since HAGZISSA's successful debut album, They Ride Along. Some may have even declared the Austrians as dead in between; however, HAGZISSA never ceased to wander the borderlands of the here and beyond. In silence and yet in turmoil, too, a nightmare has been slain and gutted - in necromantic pride, its offspring gleams and dances to never-ending music of the night!
Morte France - Hesperia / Antiq
https://antiqofficial.bandcamp.com/album/hesperia
Antiq is proud to present Morte France's highly anticipated second album, Hesperia.
Founded in 2021 by Kval, Morte France is a black metal project at the crossroads of spiritual quest, philosophical meditation, and surges of warlike fury. With Sola Fide, a first EP released in 2022 via Archaic Sound, Kval explored the tensions between Christianity, patriotism, and inner exile. It was followed by Souveraineté Radiale, the debut full-length album issued through Antiq: a blazing, ever-more-virulent record, grounded in reflections inspired by traditional doctrines on the cyclical ages of mankind. The poetry of Ovide, the thought of Nietzsche, Evola, and Mircea Eliade echo throughout the work, woven into a dense and provocative tapestry, in line with the project's guiding principle: to examine modern decadence and distill from it a radical voice...
Weft - The Splintered Oar / Bindrune Recordings
https://bindrunerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-splintered-oar
They say that it takes a band/musician their entire life to create their first album, and on the weathered, atmospheric, and truly adventurous The Splintered Oar, it sounds like every note has indeed a lifetime of exploration, joy, loss, and growth behind it.
Weft is the sole vision of Charlie Anderson, a name you may have heard before, as he has toured the world with and has become a very integral part of Panopticon with his amazing violin work and gift for musical composition. On The Splintered Oar, Charlie has meticulously constructed an album that may occasionally hint at his influences, but finds him empowering his musical vision with many different styles. At the core lies atmosphere, ignited by a churning death and black metal accelerant. Add alternate musical paths such as country/Americana, prog and other distortionless endeavors and you have a very adventurous and exciting album.
Olde - Outlier From Shallow Lives to Shallow Graves / Iron Bonehead
https://ironboneheadproductions.bandcamp.com/album/olde-outlier-from-shallow-lives-to-shallow-graves
IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS is proud to present OLDE OUTLIER's highly anticipated debut album, From Shallow Lives to Shallow Graves, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
In one sense, OLDE OUTLIER are a continuation of Australia's late, great Innsmouth: a certifiably cult band whose debut album, 2014's Consumed by Elder Sign, is considered a classic by the underground-dwelling souls who heard it. Further grounding that band's cult status was the presence of brothers Beau and Neil Dyer, who helmed the sadly short-lived Grenade during the first half of the 2000s. However, Beau has now assembled a new lineup in OLDE OUTLIER, which includes guitarist Askew, who was Grenade's lead guitarist, and vocalist Appleton and bassist Greenbank, both of whom were in Innsmouth's live lineup following the release of the album and before that band folded. All membership aside, OLDE OUTLIER are aptly monikered, for the eldritch death metal of Innsmouth is taken deeper into the caverns of old(e) but ones totally their own.
Black Pig Meat - Symbiotic Dream / Raging Planet Records
https://blackpigmeatband.bandcamp.com/album/symbiotic-dream
The quartet Black Pig Meat will release their debut album Symbiotic Dream, a striking fusion of psychedelic and alternative rock, jazz-fusion energy, and explosive improvisation. The record marks the conclusion of a creative cycle that began in 2022 and opens the path toward the extensive tour the band is preparing for 2026.
Formed in 2022, Black Pig Meat began as a high-voltage power trio featuring Marcelo dos Reis (electric guitar), Tiago Vaz (drums), and Pedro Lameira (bass) — three musicians whose years of informal jams and exploratory sessions naturally evolved into the foundation for a first album. The arrival of André Duarte (keyboards) transformed the trio into a quartet, expanding the band’s sound with new harmonic layers and atmospheric depth, reshaping their sonic identity in the process.
Aunt Cynthia's Cabin - Misty Woman / Black Throne Productions
https://auntcynthiascabin.bandcamp.com/album/misty-woman
The San Diego, CA, based psychedelic desert rock trio AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN, are preparing to celebrate their 2020 debut full-length album Misty Woman with a re-release containing a new bonus track. Recorded in the midst of the sun-scorched landscape in Austin, TX, at Electric Deluxe Recorders with Grammy-award winning producer Adrian Quesada, Misty Woman contains the influence of this impressive environment. The album will arrive on cyan and magenta vinyl, as well as on CD, via Black Throne Productions on December 19th, 2025.
