old-school death metal

After more than ten years of successfully working together, Nuclear Blast is proud to announce that Polish tech death masters Decapitated have decided to refresh their bond and have re-signed their contract for another era of extreme metal for the Germany based metal label. The band also hints that new music will be coming in the near future.

Nuclear Blast USA General Manager Gerardo Martinez states:

Swedish death metal squad Demonical will release a new studio album titled “World Domination” on October 23rd, 2020, via Agonia Records.

“World Domination” is a gateway to old and new Demonical. The band’s sixth album marks the debut for vocalist Christofer Sätderdal and the return for original drummer Ronnie Bergerstål (2006-2011, 2019-present).

Benediction are without a doubt one of the few remaining originals in the death metal scene and have achieved legendary status through their output over the years. Still, today, they love what they do and always do their job without compromise - both on record and on stage.

After more than 30 years in the business and 12 years since their last album “Killing Music”, Benediction are now back with one of their best releases yet as they retain their seat in the pantheon of death metal.

On September 25th, 2020, Stockholm’s Lik will unleash their third full-length, “Misanthropic Breed”, via Metal Blade Records.

Death metal pioneers Incantation return with their highly anticipated new full-length, “Sect of Vile Divinities”, coming on August 21st, 2020, via Relapse Records.
 
For over thirty years, Incantation has consistently remained one of the underground’s most influential and respected artists in the genre. True to form, “Sect of Vile Divinities” sees the legendary band adhering to the ways of the old school, unleashing twisted, mangled, and utterly disgusting death metal once again.
 

Brazilian/Dutch death metal alliance Crypta have officially signed with Napalm Records and Napalm Events. Formed in June 2019, the four-piece line up consists of Fernanda Lira and Luana Dametto, both former members of Brazilian thrash metal force Nervosa, plus the talented Sonia Anubis (Cobra Spell, ex-Burning Witches) and Tainá Bergamaschi (ex-Hagbard).

Sweden-based death metal veterans Centinex will return with a new studio album titled “Death in Pieces” on May 29th, 2020, via Agonia Records.
