The shamanic techno vikings of EIHWAR are set to join forces with Mongolian rock giants The HU this June for a string of electrifying dates across Germany and France.

To the broad world of metal, Mawiza are still an ascendant new force, but these modern day Mapuche warriors have always stood fiercely by their indegenous roots. The band’s upcoming third album and first since winning a Chilean Grammy calls for us to restore our balance with nature.

Season of Mist is proud to announce the release of The Regeneration Itinerary, the highly anticipated new album from Finnish symphonic black metal visionaries …AND OCEANS.

Though never intended to leave the studio, Thy Catafalque has grown into a soaring – and roaring – live act.

These JUNO Award winners have worn the horned crown as the most vile band in death metal since the mid-’90s. But with the latest single off their upcoming ninth album, Cryptopsy are making blasphemy sound fresh. “Malicious Needs” feeds into a human urge that is so revolting, so shameful, that it couldn’t be shown on YouTube. Still, even the censored version of the new video from An Insatiable Violence uncovers the evil obsessions that lie beneath our digital fantasies.
