SUDDEN DEATH's fourth album, "In Sinner Hate", is set for release on May 19th, 2025, via Time To Kill Records.

The title plays phonetically with the word "Incinerate", but takes on the meaning of "In the sinner's hate", reflecting the dark and introspective themes that permeate the entire work. In this new effort, the band delves into concepts such as violence, monotony, loneliness, alienation, respectability, and hardship, while also tackling broader topics like war, pollution, and social isolation, exploring them in their most visceral form.

While maintaining the claustrophobic, minimalist, and massive approach that has always defined SUDDEN DEATH, the new material ventures into more intricate and elaborate directions. The band's death metal carries a modern edge, yet retains clear nods to the old-school brutality of Cannibal Co**se and Sinister. The guitars intertwine constantly, layering different yet harmonized riffs before reconverging into a single, powerful sonic force, creating a complex and dynamic listening experience.

The album was mixed and mastered by Stefano "Saul" Morabito (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance, Hideous Divinity), with additional recordings by Marco "Cinghio" Mastrobuono (Hour Of Penance, Shores Of Null) and Giuseppe Orlando (Novembre, Stormlord).

The first single "Human Death Machine" is now streaming here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WKgd6uizQ8

The band commented:

"'Human Death Machine' is a track whose themes draw inspiration from certain elements of cinematic works such as The Shining, reinterpreted from a more introspective and personal perspective.
The protagonist, suffering from a dissociative disorder, experiences an identity crisis, undergoing what can be described as an authentic and progressive process of rationalizing his emotions. This leads him to a state in which, following the complete annihilation of his emotional side, only cynicism and inner emptiness remain.
His distorted perception of reality drives him to see murder as the only possible solution. As a result, the protagonist transforms from a man into a kind of flesh-and-bone robot—a killing machine, a human death-machine".

Tracklist:

1. In Sinner Hate (Intro)
2. The Modern Pharisee

London-based Sardinian black-death metal band CogaS is set to return on April 24th, 2025, with their second full-length album, "Among the Dead: How to Become a Ghost". True to their DIY ethos, the band has once again taken full control of the creative and production process, shaping a record that is as raw and honest as it is intense and intricate. This new release pushes their sound into more technical and structured territories while maintaining a striking melodic thread that enhances the album’s deeply tragic concept.

With a violent yet precise riff-oriented approach and an unmistakable emotional intensity, COGAS deliver their most complete work to date. The album masterfully balances cold, sorrowful black metal atmospheres with a relentlessly powerful death metal rhythmic backbone, creating a dynamic interplay between melancholic melodies and sheer sonic force. This fusion of aggression and melody results in a dark and immersive experience that sets a new milestone in their artistic evolution.

The first single "Autopsy of an Hollow" is now streaming here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYR8etsSbCM

The band commented:

“With this album, we give voice and sound to the pain of those who have been lost in the postcard-perfect hell called Sardinia.
Generational traumas—past, present, and future—are told through the wounds, both physical and spiritual, of an ordinary young man.

'Among the Dead: How to Become a Ghost' is our necessity and will to bring Sardinian extreme metal towards a bitter truth, setting aside the themes that have stagnantly plagued our musical world for too many years, in order to shed light on subjects we consider closer to reality.

Our album is the black shroud of suicidal death—mental and physical—of hundreds of young people from our island.
An island we so proudly flaunt as a monument to our virtues, when in reality, the virtues we boast about are nothing more than words carried away by the September mistral.

Thus, we dedicate this latest Opus to the souls who are losing themselves in our homeland, to those who have been lost, and to those who will be lost—guilty only of being too sensitive for a land cursed by its own allure.

Have the courage to break the chains you have fastened around your own wrists”.

Tracklist:

1. Dead Reflected
2. Among the Dead

Italian funeral death doom entity Tetramorphe Impure will unveil its debut album "The Sunset of Being" on April 18th 2025 via Aesthetic Death.

The album track "Night Chants" is now streaming here:

https://aestheticdeath.bandcamp.com/track/night-chants

Hailing from the Alpine north of Italy, TETRAMORPHE IMPURE is the creation of Damien, an experienced musician and former member of Mortuary Drape. After a series of underground releases, TETRAMORPHE IMPURE emerge from years of dormancy to bring forth its first full-length creation.
Melding the profound weight of funeral doom, old school death metal and early doom-death. Monolithic and crushing in it’s sonic core, "The Sunset of Being" brings forth vast soundscapes draped in despondent, shuddering riffwork.

Both nostalgic and reflective in its essence, TETRAMORPHE IMPURE create a brooding, despondent atmosphere, evoking the spirit of the early 90's through the lens of funeral death doom and old school death metal.

As Damien explains, "…this album is a procession through darker corners of human experience. We intend to submerge the listener in a meditative state where they can reflect on the transient nature of existence, its desolation and dread.
Work on these songs has taken over two years, with a focus on intentionally capturing the right feel and atmosphere in each moment. I would spend days experimenting with sounds until every passage had the raw intensity that I was aiming for.
Bands like Decomposed, Disembowelment, Dusk, Evoken, Mournful Congregation, and Esoteric have left a big mark on my way of making music. Yet the inspiration of bands such as Dead Can Dance (especially 'Within the Realm of a Dying Sun') and Swans, plus being a huge fan of early Swedish and Finnish death metal - Demigod, Demilich, Convulse, Abhorrence, Gorement, Crematory, etc - are quite evident in our new album, adding a contrasting and primal edge to the sound."

"The Sunset of Being" was co-produced, mixed and mastered by Alex Sedin.

Stream "Veiled in Secrets" here:

The band commented:

“'Veiled in Secrets' focuses on the enigmatic fictional figures known as Bene Gesserit. Described by Frank Herbert in his masterpiece 'Dune', the Bene Gesserit have the power to affect the course of history via their profound knowledge and mystical skills. Much like the Norns of Norse mythology, the members of this esoteric sisterhood weave the tapestry of destiny – guided by the visions granted by the Spice. Keepers of ancient secrets, the Bene Gesserit work in the shadows, shaping the future, crafting prophecies, and synthesizing religions.
'Veiled in Secrets' pays homage to these extraordinary figures, whose Voice echoes through desert sands in a universe where every action is just a tile of a vast and intricate mosaic."

Belgian goregrind powerhouse Brutal Sphincter will release their new album "Sphinct-Earth Society" on May 23rd 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

With "Sphinct-Earth Society", the band pushes the boundaries of the genre they inhabit. In other words, by incorporating numerous new influences, ranging from death metal to modern metal, they redefine what goregrind can be, all while maintaining that groovy signature sound that makes them so instantly recognizable.

For example, while the track “Beatdown Syndrome” integrates hardcore elements, the song “Name Three Songs” instrumentally pushes the limits of technicality. Meanwhile, a track like “Abolish Frontex” draws influences from death metal akin to Daath or Decapitated, and a juggernaut like “Unvaxxed Lives Matter” secures its place as a classic in BRUTAL SPHINCTER’s discography thanks to its unparalleled heaviness and ultra-groovy riffs.

Across the 10 tracks that make up this new opus, BRUTAL SPHINCTER tackles societal issues both dramatic (climate change, immigration, sexism, etc.) and conspiratorial (anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers, etc.). As usual, they use their particularly biting humor and embrace absurdity to approach these sensitive topics.

Moreover, the band’s two frontmen complement each other more than ever, delivering a particularly diverse vocal range. Whether you’re a fan of the pitched vocals typical of goregrind, the slimy inhales of slamming death metal, the caveman shouts of powerviolence, or the more traditional growls foundational to death metal, there’s something to enjoy in these 30 minutes of brutality.

With this new offering, BRUTAL SPHINCTER solidifies its position among the leaders of their genre and sets out to expand its reputation into scenes less niche than grindcore.

The first single “Unvaxxed Lives Matter” is now streaming here:

https://youtu.be/srD9GOn_krU?si=C_dYuXl71BjPbRMa

The band commented:

"The idea for this song came to us during one of our many frustrations over anti-vaxxers amid the Covid-19 restrictions.
Previously, we only knew anti-vaxxers as odd figures from the world of conspiracy theorists who didn't want to vaccinate their children against polio or measles.
However, anti-vaxxers suddenly gained significant prominence in society and, to our absolute bewilderment, managed to spread their views to a larger portion of the population.
We noticed that this movement repeatedly portrayed itself as victims, despite not being the group that suffered the most in the context of the pandemic.
Shoutout to all the healthcare workers and those who had to be isolated due to their illness.
This phenomenon seemed so ridiculous to us that the name 'Unvaxxed Lives Matter' came to mind, clearly referencing the Black Lives Matter movement.
From this committed and absolutely necessary movement, other movements quickly emerged, slightly altering the name to portray themselves as victims. Examples include All Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter, or White Lives Matter, which tend to come from the far-right milieu (source: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/09579265221118016, p. 293).
This, along with a flag with the slogan 'Unvaxxed Lives Matter' that was actually photographed at an anti-vaxxer demonstration, inspired us to create a song about this group".

Tracklist:

1. The Prolapse Of Society
2. Tony Hawk Pro-Choice 2022
3. Crusta-Colada (Crack'n Kofola)

"Weathered Axe" is the savage new single from London, England, black metal punks FINAL DOSE. The song, now streaming exclusively at Black Metal Daily, is the latest single preceding the band's blistering new LP, "Under the Eternal Shadow".

https://blackmetaldaily.wordpress.com/2025/02/21/track-premiere-weathered-axe-by-final-dose/

With an inception heading back to the year 2020, UK’s FINAL DOSE have built a reputation from its feral blend of black metal’s icy malevolence and the raw, uncompromising power of punk through the release of a demo, an EP and a full-length album in 2023.

With the experience of touring across the US and Europe granted by the excellent reception of aforementioned “Void Inside”, FINAL DOSE return with a vengeance, a bone-crushing slab of savagery and frostbitten fury entitled “Under the Eternal Shadow”.

Merging Black Metal and Punk is not in any way a novelty, however few acts have managed to imply the solid edge of both approaches in a such a vehemently organic fashion as the UK horde. From the very first seconds of opener “Eternal Winter”, a clear, powerful, in-your-face production compels the razor-sharp virulent riffs to gleam and cut through the ether like an electrical storm, whereas pounding fast beats function as a taser for the body, a remarkably pulsing mania which serves as a marching order for the wild raging vocals, a performance which renders gist to each word yelled in anguish.

But, beware. “Under the Eternal Shadow”’s ornamentation is yet provided by various elements such as Dungeon Synth and Folk, details that supply the record with more than a Black Metal/Punk substance. The brilliant slower moments offer an extra dose of bleakness and despair to the filthy fury, together with the lugubrious clean chords, filled with disheartening melody. These traits blazingly give shape to the lyrical concept of the album, the pain and gloom of mental decline, the misery of the societal ravishingly decay. This layer of mournfulness genuinely confers momentum to FINAL DOSE’s art, a sense of impending doom which sticks to the brain and captures the heart, making “Under the Eternal Shadow” much more than a musical record, but a tome of inspiration through the ashes of the world’s turmoil and dismay.

Wolves Of Hades is proud to be releasing on April 11th these hymns of total blackened debauchery on LP / CD / MC and Digitally.

We premiere ‘Weathered Axe’, by black metal punks FINAL DOSE.

Italian crust / grindcore squad Horrid Human Condition will release their debut album "Perpetual Imbalance" on April 18th 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

The first single, "Abused by Life", is now streaming here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0AVKjXwi08

The band commented:

"'Abused by Life' was the first track composed by the band, shortly after the formation in the summer of 2022. Musically, it is a synthesis of the influences found throughout the album, ranging from neocrust to more traditionally crust punk sounds, with some black metal elements. The song deals with the theme of human exploitation in the workplace. In an increasingly fast-paced and cynical society, the ones who suffer the consequences are the workers, forced to give up their rights just to survive, spending a part of their existence in a state of alienation.
The lyrics are inspired by two major films: 'Metropolis' by Fritz Lang and 'The Working Class Goes to Heaven' by Elio Petri".

Tracklist:

01 - Prelude to Failure
02 - Man is Overrated
03 - Heavy Burden
04 - The Great Decay
05 - Endless Nightmare
06 - Scorn
07 - A New Famine
08 - Price to Pay
09 - Nowhere to Hide
10 - Abused by Life
11 - Disguise
12 - Total Indifference
13 - The Last Era
14 - Black Lungs

Preorders:

https://timetokillrecords.com/collections/horrid-human-condition-perpetual-imbalance

https://horridhumancondition.bandcamp.com/album/perpetual-imbalance

Formed in the summer of 2022, the band emerged when Alessandro (vocals), Claudio (guitar), and Marino (bass) joined forces with Carlo (drums). Drawing from their parallel experiences in projects like laCasta and Nigredo, their synergy was undeniable. Within months, the band had written 14 powerful tracks, debuted live in March 2023, and recorded their material by December of the same year.

The name HORRID HUMAN CONDITION reflects the band’s visceral critique of modern society. Their music captures the existential and social despair of a world where systems designed to govern and sustain instead serve the wealthy and powerful—leaving the majority to bear the consequences. Themes of disillusionment with money, religion, morals, and politics dominate their lyrical landscape, exposing these as mere instruments of control.

Musically, the band channels this intense message through a raw fusion of crust punk and grindcore, genres perfectly suited to convey feelings of chaos and urgency. Expect a sonic assault of sharp, high-pitched guitars, sludgy, acidic basslines, machine-gun-like drumming, and vocals that scream with desperate energy. Their live performances are a cathartic and visceral experience, where the band forges an unbreakable bond with their audience.

With a debut full of fury and conviction, HORRID HUMAN CONDITION is poised to leave their mark on the extreme music scene. Time To Kill Records is proud to support their vision and looks forward to bringing their raw energy to a wider audience.

"'Assembling Deformities' is the longest voyage on the album and its filled to the brim with technical chaos and maybe one of our most cruel breakdowns to date. We wanted to showcase some of our favorite elements in the tech/brutal death metal world with these riffs. Lyrical wise it’s about our physical imperfections and how we look at purity and prosperity in our daily lives. And that we are all hideous in our own ways no matter how hard you try to change yourself and that we can’t accept that the world is far from perfect".

Following their explosive 2023 debut EP, “Dimensions Unfurled”, the band is ready to take their sound to the next level. Brace yourselves for a sonic journey that will push the boundaries of technical death metal into the uncharted realms of the cosmos.

Australian death-doom metallers REEKMIND have released the second single from their upcoming debut album, "Mired in the Reek of Grief", set to unleash its haunting presence on MC and LP format via Night Terrors Records on March 7th, 2025.

The new song is called "Slithering Spell" and it's now premiering via Mystification Zine - ex-Grizzly Butts at this location:

https://mystificationzine.com/2025/02/12/reekmind-song-premiere/

With their peculiar blend of crushing riffs and emotionally charged atmospheres, REEKMIND takes listeners on a harrowing journey through the depths of human despair. As the band describes, "The Reekmind is a manifestation of insurmountable grief that is represented in a physical form which slowly overtakes one's mind and causes all affected to spiral into an inescapable well of misery and mental agony." This ethos is deeply embedded in their music, delivering an experience that is both devastatingly heavy and cathartically profound.

REEKMIND's debut album bridges the gap between classic death-doom foundations and atmospheric, almost transcendental elements that flirt with the introspective tones of post-metal and the visceral weight of sludge. The result is a soundscape that is both raw and expansive, embodying the essence of pure sonic catharsis.

The album's organic production enhances its live-like authenticity, enveloping listeners in a sound that feels immediate, honest, and deeply personal. REEKMIND eschews flashy gimmicks, focusing instead on the power of the riff and constructing cohesive, expansive structures that resonate long after the final note fades.

Rome death metal act ADE strikes back with their new single "Vinum". Watch the video here:

ADE will release their fifth full-length album, "Supplicium", on March 14th 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

True to their musical identity, the band continues to explore the allure of ancient Rome, weaving tales of battles, sacrifices, and glory into a powerful and immersive narrative.

"Supplicium" represents a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. On one hand, the lyrical concept and epic atmospheres transport the listener to the age of the Roman Empire, evoking visions of triumphant marches and blood-soaked arenas. On the other hand, the sound becomes increasingly technical and refined, with tight riffs, relentless rhythmic sections, and flawless production that enhances every detail.

The album, crafted with meticulous care, succeeds in combining the brutality of death metal with highly complex instrumental passages, showcasing a band in constant evolution.

With "Supplicium", ADE reaffirm their role as champions of a death metal where historical tradition and modern sound coexist, creating an experience that is both ferocious and captivating.

https://mystificationzine.com/2025/02/10/sonum-2025-song-premiere/

Following the critical acclaim of their debut, “Visceral Void Entropy” (2022), SONUM delve deeper into the labyrinthine realms of dissonance and atmosphere. "The Obscure Light Awaits" is an ambitious work that simultaneously pushes boundaries and honours the roots of the genre. The album eschews unnecessary complexity in favour of a tight focus on songwriting, weaving together intricate, sibylline passages with a raw, unrelenting power that shows the influence of the pioneering works of old and contemporary death metal legends such as Gorguts, Morbid Angel, Execration and Artificial Brain.

A true testament to SONUM’s evolution, "The Obscure Light Awaits" presents a sonic journey defined by dark, otherworldly textures and relentless energy. The band’s ability to merge atmospheric depth with crushing riffs showcases their commitment to creating music that is both immersive and uncompromising.
