Wanikiya Record/Promotion is proud to announce the release of the new, devastating single by BÖLTHORN, entitled “Calidonian’s Wrath”, available on all digital platforms starting January 16. The official Lyric Video will be released simultaneously on YouTube.
CALIDONIAN’S WRATH — THE FURY OF THE GODS TAKES SHAPE IN METAL
The new single is rooted in the Greek myth of King Oeneus of Calydon, whose failure to honor the goddess Artemis unleashed her divine wrath. As punishment, the goddess sent a massive boar — the legendary Calydonian Boar — to ravage his lands. The king gathered the greatest heroes of the era for a brutal, blood-soaked hunt: the creature was first wounded by Atalanta’s arrow, then finally slain by the spear of Meleager, ending the curse.
“Calidonian’s Wrath” transforms this ancient tale into an epic, brutal and cinematic sonic experience: a journey through chaos, the hunt, sacred violence, and redemption through blood.
THE RETURN OF THE EPIC CONCEPT
The previous single “Primeval Hunt”, already embraced by fans as a defining track of the band’s new era, paved the way. Now, “Calidonian’s Wrath” expands that vision, confirming Bölthorn’s evolution toward an increasingly narrative, cinematic, and colossal dimension.
With their epic, overwhelming, and martial sound, Bölthorn reaffirm their identity and open a new chapter under Wanikiya Record/Promotion — the label that proudly marks the beginning of this promising new artistic journey.
Wanikiya Record/Promotion is deeply honored to announce the entry into its roster of an internationally renowned author, musician, and composer: Enzo Donnarumma, mastermind and founder of Enzo And The Glory Ensemble, one of the most unique, spiritual, and innovative projects in today’s global metal scene.
The arrival of Maestro Donnarumma represents not just a step forward for Wanikiya, but a cultural and artistic enrichment of immeasurable value.
THE STORY OF ENZO DONNARUMMA From theatrical roots to major international collaborations
Born in Gragnano on September 1st, 1977, Enzo Donnarumma faced a difficult adolescence marked by the early loss of both parents. Raised by relatives, he began studying classical piano and guitar, eventually graduating in guitar and paving the way for an extraordinary career filled with artistic experiences.
From a very young age, he distinguished himself as a:
musician
arranger
playwright
director
performer
multi-instrumentalist
His early musical and theatrical works earned him prestigious national awards, including:
Teatroggi 2002 – Best Direction and Best Musical Arrangement with Jesus Christ Superstar (first Italian version)
Stelle del Mediterraneo 2007 – Best Unreleased Song
Ascea Music Lab 2008 – Best Unreleased Song
Maggio Sì’Tu 2009 – Best Direction, Best Music, and Best Leading Actor with Vincimi E Ti Vincerò, a musical on the Passion of Christ
Donnarumma is also renowned for portraying the role of Christ for over thirty years in musicals, theatre productions, city events, and even cinematic contexts.
THE PROG EXPERIENCE AND THE BRIDGE TO THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE
From 2009 to 2014 he was a member of the prog band Members Of God, performing as special guest alongside:
Shadow Gallery
Orphaned Land
Two of the most influential prog/metal acts on the planet. This experience opened the door to collaborations with leading artists in the international metal scene.
THE BIRTH OF ENZO AND THE GLORY ENSEMBLE A unique project blending spirituality, epic metal, and global collaboration
In 2014 Enzo Donnarumma founded Enzo And The Glory Ensemble, a revolutionary idea merging:
Christian spirituality
symphonic metal
world music
gospel choral elements
prog and orchestral influences
The project immediately stood out for the exceptional level of its collaborators—18 international artists, including pillars of the world metal scene:
Marty Friedman (Megadeth)
Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear, Gamma Ray)
Kobi Farhi (Orphaned Land)
Gary Wehrkamp & Brian Ashland (Shadow Gallery)
Mark Zonder (Fates Warning)
Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai)
Nicholas Leptos (Warlord)
The Congolese afro-gospel choir Weza Moza Gospel Choir
A monumental production, capable of blending metal and sacred music like never before.
THE INTERNATIONAL TRILOGY
Enzo And The Glory Ensemble released three acclaimed concept albums forming the celebrated trilogy:
In The Name Of The Father
In The Name Of The Son
In The Name Of The World Spirit
A trilogy that propelled the project worldwide, receiving outstanding reviews across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and South America.
HIGH-PROFILE GUEST APPEARANCES
Donnarumma has also been invited as a special guest in top-tier international productions, including:
Arrayan Path
Harpazo
Sangreal
Preludio Ancestral
Confirming his role as a respected, sought-after, and globally recognized artist.
A UNIQUE GIFT FOR THE FANS The animated musical film “L’ANIMA IRREDENTA” is coming
To celebrate this new chapter, Wanikiya Record/Promotion and Enzo And The Glory Ensemble present an unprecedented masterpiece:
“L’Anima Irredenta”, an animated musical film written, composed, illustrated, and directed entirely by Enzo Donnarumma.
A monumental project, fully handmade and conceived as a symphonic metal operetta that merges:
late 19th-century romantic orchestration
heavy, doom, death, and progressive metal
stylistic nods to Mahler, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Tchaikovsky
theatrical impact oscillating between the grotesque, the tragic, and the symbolic
A production that rejects AI and every form of automation—embracing an artisanal, intentionally imperfect, human, claustrophobic, theatrical, and vivid approach.
ARTISTIC CAST
Voices: Fabio Bonatti, Enzo Donnarumma, Maria Londino, Mr Jack, Namid, Alessandro Battini, Antonio Lambiase, Anna Cuomo, Simone Alfano, Alfonso Calandra, Nuccia Paolillo, Francesco Pellizzari.
01 Ouverture 02 L’Irredento 03 Il Male 04 Dishonor of Masculinity 05 Dream Me With You 06 Paparino 07 The Condemnations 08 Life 09 Another Being Lives in You 10 That Hell of a Home 11 The Miser Packs His Bags 12 A Big Mistake 13 Holy One, Who Will Bear It 14 Grim Monsters Without Worries 15 You Choose 16 To All the Lunatics on the Planet 17 Pig’s Blood on the Face 18 Never Again the Same 19 The Confession 20 The Redeemed Soul
PLOT
A disturbing journey into the psychological chaos of a deranged character obsessed with voodoo, occultism, and social hatred. A descent into the abyss of domestic and mental violence, where nothing is certain, no deduction is reliable, and every character carries their own inner instability.
The entire work is sung—one of the first, if not the first, fully theatrical Metal Operas ever conceived.
A blend of tragedy, symbolism, grotesque imagery, and social commentary, offering not answers… but questions.
VISUAL STYLE
The animation is intentionally:
imperfect
puppet-like
frontal
cut-out and pixelated
An aesthetic designed to represent social constraint, manipulation, and unease.
MESSAGE
The film addresses themes such as:
unresolved trauma
psychological and physical violence
manipulation
emotional family inheritance
the search for a word of redemption
The Christian message is not explicit, yet permeates the structure of the work, contrasting destructive lies (“you are mediocre”) with the salvific truth (“you are perfect and unrepeatable”).
CONCLUSION
With immense pride, Wanikiya Record/Promotion announces:
The official entry of Enzo Donnarumma and Enzo And The Glory Ensemble into its roster.
The publication of the animated musical film “L’Anima Irredenta”, a unique and unrepeatable gift to fans around the world.
A new chapter begins. A monumental artist joins our family. A vision takes shape — and chooses Wanikiya to be told.
Under the blazing Copenhell sun, as the crowd roared and the forest spirits awoke, TROLD unleashed a moment that burned itself into the memory of every witness. “Til Gilde Under Bøgen (Live at Copenhell ’25)” captures that exact spark – a wild celebration where folk melodies met metal fury, and unity reigned beneath the open sky.
This live rendition transforms one of the band’s most beloved anthems into a living ritual: drums pounding like ancient hearts, leads and riffs intertwining like roots beneath the soil, and thousands of voices rising in ecstatic chorus. It’s raw, triumphant, and utterly alive; a reminder that the bond between band and audience is not just heard, but felt.
With this new single, Trold invite you once again to raise your horns, stomp your boots, and join the feast, for the trolls are still dancing, and the forest still sings.
Join the premiering here:
On a sunny afternoon, as the sky glowed over Refshaleøen, thousands of souls gathered for a feast no one will ever forget. At Copenhell 2025, folk metal berserkers Trold stormed the festival’s Hades stage, and with an explosion of fire, confetti, and raw power, the day was transformed into a fairytale of shouts and revelry!
Now the band releases it all under the fitting title “Til Gilde Under Ulven (Live At Copenhell ’25)” – a tribute to the party, the community, and the raw troll magic that made both mortals and otherworldly beings dance in the sunlight.
The press wrote about the concert:
“From the green realm of the forest to Copenhell’s dusty asphalt jungle – TROLD created a folk festival in broad daylight.” – GAFFA
“TROLD delivered a blast of a concert and, with high energy, great visual staging, and strong audience interaction, managed to turn the adventure into a complete and engaging celebration.” – Heavymetal.dk
“It was definitely a party…” – Devilution
TROLD themselves roar from the depths of the forest: “This afternoon was more than a concert – it was a feast, a roar, a merging of troll, human, and fire. We now share this day with you all – so the Wolf may howl again!”
So polish your boots, tighten your belt, and get ready – for “Til Gilde Under Ulven (Live at Copenhell ’25)” is coming soon, and the party calls once more.
“Til Gilde Under Ulven (Live At Copenhell ’25)” will be released on digital format on 19.12.2025, via Mighty Music. Limited hand-numbered 180-gram gatefold double fire-colored LPs (only 150 copies!) and digipack CD are available via the band’s own webshop.

Joe Bonamassa returns with B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100, Vol. III, the next five songs from the landmark tribute project honoring what would have been B.B. King’s 100th birthday. Out today via KTBA Records, this new volume features five inspired collaborations that capture the spirit, range, and legacy of the King of the Blues: “Sweet Little Angel” feat. Buddy Guy, “Don’t You Want A Man Like Me” feat. Larkin Poe, “Heartbreaker” feat. Trombone Shorty & Eric Gales, “Watch Yourself” feat. Jimmie Vaughan, and “When It All Comes Down (I’ll Still Be Around)” feat. Larry McCray.
The Next Five New Tracks [Vol. III] Out Now via KTBA Records HERE
Bonamassa also revealed details for one of the project’s most anticipated collaborations – “The Thrill Is Gone,” featuring Chaka Khan and Eric Clapton. The pairing of the powerhouse vocalist and guitar legend marks a historic moment within B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100, bringing together two of the most influential artists ever to interpret King’s timeless classic. The track will be released with the full album on February 6th.
Leading the Vol. III release is “Sweet Little Angel” featuring Buddy Guy, paired with a new music video that interweaves archival and live footage of B.B. King and Buddy performing – a poignant celebration of their friendship and shared musical lineage. “Buddy Guy is obviously the first call you make when putting this project together, and ‘Sweet Little Angel’ was his preferred song,” says co-producer Josh Smith. “This take shows you why Buddy is the living legend he is. Our most important living blues artist. In regards to the track, both Buddy’s vocal and guitar playing are from the same live track. No messing around, old school. The Real Deal indeed!!!”
“Don’t You Want A Man Like Me” features the powerhouse duo Larkin Poe reimagining one of King’s most playful songs with swagger and soul. “Larkin Poe are such a talented pair, and they both killed this track,” says Smith. “They brought such a unique spin and attitude to the original that flips it on its head. Mostly, it’s just such a fun rocking track. The vocals are incredible as is the lap steel guitar solo!!”
On “Heartbreaker,” Eric Gales and Trombone Shorty deliver one of the project’s most explosive moments. “Man, Trombone Shorty and Eric Gales together?!?! What a combo,” Smith says. “So much talent. Shorty kills the vocals and plays all the horns on the song, and Eric does what he does!!! Pays tribute to B.B. while always being himself. This one just came together magically!!”
“Watch Yourself” finds Texas blues legend Jimmie Vaughan at his most relaxed and soulful. “What an honor to have Jimmie Vaughan,” says Smith. “This is one of my favorite B.B. shuffles ever, and Jimmie brought so much fun and attitude to it. Jimmie also cared so much about the track that he recorded his own horn section unprompted (not knowing we were going to add the horns later anyway)! So cool and such a great performance.”
The volume closes with “When It All Comes Down (I’ll Still Be Around)” featuring Larry McCray. “This song is a personal favorite from B.B.’s magical 60’s/70’s era,” says Smith. “Larry is truly the top of the heap, the greatest contemporary bluesman in the world. We just knew he would kill this song, and he does nothing less. The best!!!”
Produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith, B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100 continues to unfold in monthly installments through February 2026, culminating in the full 32-track album’s release on February 6th. With the blessing of the B.B. King Estate, The B.B. King Music Company, and the King family, Bonamassa and team set out to unite generations of artists who have been shaped by King’s influence.
“When B.B. was alive and active, he was the blues – he was the sun which all planets rotated around,” says Bonamassa. “You only get one shot to do this correctly. And I think we nailed it.”
Full 32-Track Album Arrives February 6th, 2026 – Pre-Order Available NOW
Previous volumes have featured Gary Clark Jr., Keb’ Mo’, Paul Rodgers, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Pat Monahan of Train, Aloe Blacc, Michael McDonald, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Bobby Rush, George Benson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and D.K. Harrell – each artist bringing their own story, sound, and respect to King’s legacy.

The album’s title pays homage to King’s Grammy-winning 1993 Blues Summit, and the project carries that same collaborative spirit forward on a global scale. For Bonamassa, it’s both a tribute and a mission. “B.B.’s only wish was, ‘Do what you can to keep the blues alive,’” he says. “Well, hopefully this album gives a B12 shot to his legacy – and to the legacy of the blues.”
The announcement arrives during an especially significant moment in Bonamassa’s own career. His latest studio album Breakthrough earned him his fifthGRAMMYnomination, while Eric Gales’ A Tribute To LJK – produced by Bonamassa and Josh Smith – was also nominated in the same category. On the road, Bonamassa is currently in the midst of his Fall 2025 U.S. Tour, which runs through December 6th and includes stops in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, and more. The tour marks the final run with longtime keyboardist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Reese Wynans, who recently announced that he will step back from everyday touring after this season.

Swedish post-rock masters EF reveal ‘Ett’, another glimpse of their re-recorded version of their now classic debut album, Give Me Beauty… or Give Me Death!.
The band comment: “‘ETT’ (meaning 1) was originally not recorded with the other songs back in 2005, but was actually one of the first songs we wrote for the album. Together with ”He Came, He Stayed, He Fell” it was meant as a part of a trilogy of shorter, more ambient pieces to act as fill outs. It still became one of the more epic and most important songs for us to really set the tone for what to come on the debut album. Short but massive! And the ”number songs” have continued ever since…”
Long regarded as singular architects within European post-rock, EF have built a catalogue defined by dynamic patience, melodic clarity, and widescreen emotional reach. Across two decades of touring, the Gothenburg ensemble have carried that language to clubs and theatres at home and abroad, earning a reputation for meticulous, high-impact live shows and a body of work that has steadily gathered critical regard and a devoted international following.
Reimagined and with expanded production, this new edition is a considered re-engagement with the material that first crystallised EF’s voice. The band return to these songs with the benefit of twenty years’ craft, presenting new arrangements that stretch time and deepen narrative, while retaining the quiet-to-catharsis arc that has always set their music apart.
“Since it’s our precious firstborn we wanted to give it the love it surely deserves. We felt we didn’t want to celebrate its big 20th birthday by just remastering it and we surely didn’t want to make the songs too modern and unrecognisable for the old fans. We wanted to give it a tighter, more dramatic and bombastic make over… a gentle touch of today’s EF.” (Niklas Åström)
Originally released in 2006, Give Me Beauty… or Give Me Death! introduced EF’s signature blend of cinematic guitars, patient dynamics and aching melody. For this new edition, along with an incredible cover illustration by Phillip Janta and brand-new bonus track ‘Noll’, the band returned to the material with fresh ears and clear intentions: to open more space in the arrangements and to enrich the melodic lines with orchestral colour.
“When we recorded the originals back in 2005 we didn’t know much about arrangements nor did we know many musicians playing strings or brass. We also didn’t have enough money to rent a studio for more than three days, which forced us to rock and record all the songs live with minimum retakes. The add-ons were later done in Daniel’s (Juline) apartment with a shitty microphone and you can hear someone doing dishes in the kitchen and the trams running by outside.
“This time we had money saved up and time to hang out in the studio to play around, arrange and track properly, but also to bring in professional musicians to fulfil our musical vision. It was intended 20 years ago but we couldn’t get it done.” (Niklas Åström)
The compositions now open further, allowing phrases to breathe and themes to unfold with greater intention. Brass and strings thread through the arrangements to widen the harmonic field and intensify the music’s gravitational pull. Guitar architectures are voiced with more restraint and more consequence; percussion serving the songs whilst retaining the backbone. Dynamics have been sculpted with greater nuance; crescendos are permitted to unwind more slowly, and motifs are developed with discipline, small gestures accruing significance until the inevitable release, the swell of post-rock roars, in which we find EF’s lyricism within a larger, orchestral-adjacent palette.
For Pelagic Records, release number 300 is both a celebration and statement of intent: an affirmation that the label’s long-game approach to curation continues to reward artists who value evolution. For EF, this release closes a circle while drawing a new one around where they are now – seasoned, sonically expansive, and unafraid to reinvent and elevate.
Give Me Beauty… or Give Me Death! (20th-Anniversary Edition) is a document of growth rendered with care: more instrumentation, more time, more consequence. The album is an act of stewardship – both a homage and a forward-looking manifesto for EF and for discerning listeners everywhere.

The most influential black metal band of all time is back with their 7th studio album Liturgy of Death. With this new opus, Mayhem reaffirm their status as the most uncompromising force in extreme metal music. Four decades into their career, Mayhem turn their focus toward the inescapable reality of death. Liturgy of Death examines loss, fear of dying, powerlessness and the fragility of existence through a stark and unrelenting lens.
“Weep for Nothing”Mayhem’s new first single, turns the fear of mortality into revelation, a hymn to nothingness where grief becomes meaningless. With its cold and fast grandeur, razor-sharp riffs and a suffocating atmosphere, the band channels it channels the essence of mortality without offering solace or escape.

With Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila, Morten, and Ghul locked into a unit tighter than ever, Liturgy of Death celebrates Mayhem’s own legacy, a continuation of the raw and uncompromising sound that defined their beginnings. The result is a merciless record – dark, fast, and unrelenting – that captures the band in their most dangerous and vital form. Forty-one years since their formation in Langhus, Mayhem remain a defining force in Norwegian black metal, continuing to shape the sound they helped create.
