Blackened Death Metal

Bay area death trio Ulthar - featuring within its ranks Shelby Lermo (Vastum, Extremity), Justin Ennis (Void Omnia, Ruine, ex-Mutilation Rites, ex-Tombs), and Steve Peacock (Mastery, Pandiscordian Necrogenesis) - will kick off a lengthy North American headlining tour this spring.

February 8th sees Downfall Of Gaia release their new album, “Ethic of Radical Finitude”!

In anticipation of this release, Downfall Of Gaia have now launched a video for the second single, “We Pursue the Serpent of Time”, which can be viewed below.
 

After recently completing a North American headlining tour with At The Gates and Wolves In The Throne Room, Behemoth will be bringing this must-see show to Europe, starting tomorrow!

In anticipation of the trek, the band has also launched a new video for “Ecclesia Diabolica Catholica” (directed by Grupa 13), taken from their latest album, “I Loved You At Your Darkest”.

Watch the new video below.

The Missouri-based extreme blackened death trio Nevalra – whose acclaimed 2015 EP, “The Black Flame”, made waves throughout the metal underground – has signed with M-Theory Audio, who will release the group’s full-length debut later this year.

Hailing from the cold, unforgiving wastelands of Hollywood, California, Ashen Horde is a two-piece band that strives to embrace a multitude of extreme metal sub-genres, without being bound to any one of them. Drawing influence from metal’s crème de le extreme, from Enslaved and Devin Townsend to Ihsahn and Opeth, Ashen Horde (aka Trevor Portz and Stevie Boiser [Vale of Phath, Inferi]), may have a sound rooted in death and black metal, but can’t truly be called either.

Katechon has already found a notable place in the underground upon churning out two albums. Trondheim, Norway based black/death metallers are now ready to take the wraps of their forthcoming third opus, “Sanger Fra Auschwitz”.

The album is anti-totalitarian in form and a view into the events of the second world war and how it affected the people on both sides.

Seattle harsh/death metal trio Hissing has announced a run of West Coast North American tour dates for early 2019 in support of their debut LP, “Permanent Destitution”, released in October through Profound Lore Records.

The tour sees Hissing paired with Oakland’s brutalizing Abstracter, with dates running from February 22nd through March 2nd.
