melodic black metal

May those of Sense and Earth gather for the new dawn... Enslaved’s new EP “Caravans to the Outer Worlds” was released unto the universe last month. It is a tale of departure, about leaving behind a barren and desolate world, travelling boldly into the future. It signaled the end of an era for the psychedelic Norwegians, hinting at new pastures.

Two Years after the successful and critically debut album, “The Funeral Pyre”, that took the underground scene by storm with its unique mix of elements of Black Thrash, Pagan and Speed Metal, today Sweden based solo- project Kvaen, founded by Jacob Björnfot, has announced its upcoming, sophomore album. “The Great Below” will be released as LP, CD, tape and digital formats on March 25th, 2022 through Black Lion Records.

Black/death metal veterans Thulcandra are back! After six years of silence, the band’s brand new studio album, “A Dying Wish”, will be released on October 29th, 2021, via Napalm Records – once again carrying the burning torch of the glorious death metal era.
 

Blackened Death Metallers Usquam have signed with Wormholedeath a deal for their EP “Reborn”, which is due for release on November 5th, 2021.

Band comments:

After 23 years of silence, Finnish cult black metallers and pioneers of the scene Darkwoods My Betrothed are making their long-awaited comeback with a new full-length album, “Angel of Carnage Unleashed”, to be unveiled on November 12th, 2021, via Napalm Records.

Suffolk hellhounds Cradle Of Filth are proud to announce that something fiendish is brewing. The vile six-piece will be appearing at one of London’s iconic venues, The Roundhouse, on Sunday 31st October aka All Hallows’ Eve for a very special album release show.

Atmospheric black metallers Ghost Bath announced their fourth full-length album, “Self Loather” will be released on October 29th, 2021, via Nuclear Blast Records. 

On the album, the band closes out the trilogy—tragedy, ecstasy, and dread/hatred—and hosts their most devastating and dark music to date. Today, the band releases the first single, “Convince Me to Bleed”. Check out the visualizer, below.

There is a desert which is very old, very dry, and very dangerous. Few have ever dared to cross it, and fewer have returned. Some say that it is a desert between places, others say that it is a desert between worlds. Those who have crossed it and returned swear that the desert is another world in itself - an astral bridge, which swallows all but the most well-prepared travelers.
 

Cradle Of Filth will return to American shores this fall for the Lustmord and Tourgasm tour, featuring an epic full performance of the British band’s classic 1998 concept album “Cruelty and the Beast” for the first time ever, as well as an encore of other Cradle Of Filth fan favorites.

Belched from Hell’s depths into the rustic charms of the Witch County, Suffolk, thirty long and disturbing years ago, Cradle Of Filth are undisputed giants of the heavy metal realm.
