PROFANATICA have a reputation to uphold. They’ve been one of the nastiest bands in America since the early ’90s, when they were playing the backroom of a Chinese restaurant alongside Gorophobia, Immolation and Incantation. Led by drummer Paul Ledney, these heretics have spread sin and spewed bile since the dawn of black metal’s creation. Today, they’re returning from their crypt with a new album that’s so blasphemous, you just might lose your head.
Dark singer-songwriter act THE DEVIL’S TRADE is now releasing the third new track, taken from the upcoming album “Vidékek vannak idebenn” which will be released on July 14, 2023 via Season of Mist.
CLOAK are burning hot and fast. The rising black metal band released their third album at the end of May, and it’s already catching fire. Metal Sucks said ‘Black Flame Eternal’ stays melodic and catchy while hitting harder than the band’s previous albums. New Noise gave the album four stars for bridging the gap between the spirituality of black metal and the abrasiveness of thrash, death metal and hard rock.
WORMHOLE play by their own rules. When they’re not schooling fools at Nintendo or throwing on the odd Saturday morning cartoon, the band are out scrambling brains with a homemade combo slam of brutal, technical death metal. Or, as they call it, tech slam. For the past eight years, they’ve been fine-tuning their signature moves both in and outside of Baltimore. Now, with ‘Almost Human’, they’re ready to erupt from the underground.
ALKALOID are mad scientists. With each album, the extreme metal concocters have poked and prodded at mysterious phenomena both of this world and far beyond. They’ve written a song about what lies beneath the Antarctic crust, as well as an ongoing saga about a galactic civilization that ascends to a god-like-level of domination.
THY CATAFALQUE are streaming their new album on the Season of Mist YouTube channel. Listen to all nine tracks HERE.
DESTROYER 666 won’t slow down. K.K. and his band of black thrash bullies rose out of Australia back in the early ’90s with the triumphant, blistering speed of a phoenix. Despite several lineup changes, they’ve been hammering out lean, mean blackened thrash metal ever since. Their last album came out just at the end of 2022 and it served as yet another ass-kicking reminder that these burly Aussies will never surrender to anyone’s bullshit.
HEILUNG are bringing their acclaimed live ritual to 10 U.S. cities this fall. Most they’ve never played before, including South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, New Orleans and Missouri – while others will be welcoming back the pounding, rhythmic, Nordic collective at larger venues.

CARNATION are giving us a first glimpse at all the ways they’ve evolved over the past three years by unveiling the title track off their new album. “Cursed Mortality” still sounds like the Belgian band’s bruising band of death metal.
