Soaring vocals (courtesy of new frontman Isak Stenvall), twin guitars and mighty choirs – strongly founded on thunderous bass lines and rumbling double bass drums – dominate and define the sixth Veonity’s studio album: the playful, energetic and well-crafted songs of the Swedish band deliver a full throttle energy boost.
“The Elements Of Power chronicles”, a saga of a hero that needs to seal the veil between the Overworld and the Underworld to prevent darkness from gaining control, is finally unraveled, and it couldn’t have been more epic and glorious.

Get ready for a sonic autopsy! Southern California Thrash, Punk, and Grindcore maniacs TRIP TO THE MORGUE have inked a deal with Wormholedeath Records for their highly anticipated album, “Toe Tagged And Body Bagged”, set to be unleashed on the masses on September 13th, 2024.
The band expressed their excitement about the partnership, “We were in contact with Wormholedeath early in the creation of our new CD. There were a few things that drew us to the label; the existing client list of hardcore and metal bands, the word of mouth as a reputable label, and the work ethic of everyone involved at Wormholedeath Records. After many emails and correspondence with Carlo and Carla, we were able to agree and see that Carlo was willing to work as hard or more than the band was willing to work to ensure our success. This was a “no-brainer” for Trip to the Morgue.
We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Carlo and his team, share a label with talented like-minded, and ambitious musicians and bands but most of all for the sincerity and dedication of those at the label who patiently worked with us to help gather and get our logistics together for a successful promotion and presentation of the band.”

Formed in 2010, Trip To The Morgue has been on a mission to deliver a pulverizing concoction of grindcore mayhem, infused with old-school thrash, crossover, and the raw punk energy that birthed these extreme genres. Over the years, the band has honed its sound into a tight, brutal machine, featuring the current lineup of Dave Oshann (bass/vocals), J Patrick McCosar (lead guitar/vocals), Joey Maddox (guitar/vocals), and Vincent Rizzo (drums/vocals).
Toe Tagged And Body Bagged is a sonic time capsule, that transports listeners back to the golden age of thrash, crossover, grindcore, and hardcore. Brace yourself for a pummeling onslaught of heavy riffs, breakneck tempos, and unadulterated aggression, all inspired by the bands that laid the foundation for extreme music.
Get Ready to Mosh (Even in Your Mom’s Kitchen)
Trip To The Morgue’s multifaceted assault is guaranteed to get your head banging and unleash your inner mosh fiend. This genre-bending masterpiece is a sonic exploration of everything heavy, fast, and in-your-face, capturing the raw energy of the early hardcore scene.

‘We don’t think of Morocco as a country that loves Metal, and yet…’.
Summer time is replay time with THE PIT “in-house” production as “The PIT Original” : ‘Unscene Casablanca’ focused on the little-known Moroccan metal/rock scene.
From the struggles of the first bands to find rehearsal places to the arrest of young “satanists” in 2003, through the essential role of the L’Boulevard festival for the development of alternative music until today, this documentary will dive into the heart of the Moroccan Metal scene, quite unknown.

ORBITA WIRU is an alternative rock band from Warsaw. The band’s music is the sonic uncompromisingness of simple rhythm, the power of guitars, the penetrating voice, and the whole is a consistently pulsating sound machine.
The band has four albums to its credit: “Wiru Sfera” (2006), “Relikwiat” (2009), “My Maszyny” (2013), “Hipis 2020” (2020) and a fifth, which will premiere in the fall of 2024. Trailers of the new album are already available on streaming services in the form of three EPs: “Rodeo“, “Kosmateus” and “Czcigodnie“.
The band has made its presence known at most major national rock festivals (Hunterfest, Węgorzewo, Slot Art, Rockowe Ogródki, Juwenalia), with a number of performances alongside leading Polish rock bands and a performance in the courtyard of the Zamość High-Security Prison.
The EP “Prisoners of the Continuum” is the latest dose of sounds from Warsaw’s energy bomb, the band ORBITA WIRU. The mini album closes the larger whole in the form of the fifth album in the collection and shows what has been happening creatively in the band’s circle over the past year.
The new EP “Prisoners of the Continuum” was released on July 26, 2024 in digital format on the most popular streaming platforms. In the autumn of this year, the EPs will be released on one CD as a compilation. More information soon.
This is what the band says about the songs on their newest release:
Prisoners of the Continuum Difficult times create strong people, strong people create good times, good times generate weak people who create difficult times again. And so this carousel of generational consequences has been spinning continuously for centuries at different rates and in different places on Earth. One should wonder which generation we ourselves belong to? Interestingly, the piece was sung in four languages. Watykan (en. Vatican) The mechanism of intellectual property rights capture by media corporations is always similar and unchanged for years. The creator faces the dilemma of whether to give up some of the rights to his work at the expense of belonging to a larger whole and participating in the functioning of the system, or to take up a solo fight often carrying the risk of remaining in an artistic niche while maintaining artistic independence. Moja Mała Furia 2004 (en. My Little Fury 2024) This is a song that opened many doors for us in 2009, many people began to associate Orbita Wiru, also through participation and success in the music show Hit Generator. Throughout all these years, we had the impression that it was not recorded properly by us, because time in the studio was pressing and certain parts could have been recorded better. In 2023, we took it up again, recording the same parts in the same arrangement, this time without rushing. The idea of the lyrics has not changed either – you have to learn to suppress anger, because aggression is escalating more and more around you.
Hungarian Death Metal trio …IN VISCERO announce their debut full-length album “Italia Violenta” scheduled for a September 1st release on Pest Records (Romania) and Metal Ör Die Records (Hungary)! The band’s sound is Swedish, the band members are seasoned musicians with experience in Hungarian bands such as Casketgarden, Boru, Mutilation Case and Rém, and the lyrics are in Italian.
The first video single titled “Incubo sulla città contaminata” is now online here:
Here’s what the band had to say about the album: “Our goal is to evoke the great moments of Italian cinema between the 60s and 90s. The era when filmmaking was more human, creative and forward-looking. When the void created by financial gaps was filled with human creativity, which created masterpieces that are now inscribed in gold in the eternal pantheon of universal cinematography. The seven films evoked by the album’s songs tell tales about demons, zombies, witches and the darkest side of the human mind. After listening to the album, watching these films is not only necessary, but mandatory! Viva il Cinema Italiano!”
Mythological occult metal act & Agonia Records recording artist ABSU will return to the stage in 2025 for a series of concert performances to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the band’s acclaimed second album, “The Sun of Tiphareth.” Joining Proscriptor will be none other than Greek veterans ZEMIAL in completing the formidable new line–up. Hell’s Heroes VII Festival in Houston, Texas (March 20–22) will host the first major festival performance followed by additional (global) dates to be announced.
Proscriptor remarks: “2025 will memorialize 30 years of ABSU’s sophomore invocation ‘The Sun of Tiphareth,’ an album that represents the metaphysical association between phenomenon and noumenon – illusory versus tangible. Within its augmented sense of arcane determination, this album furthered the mythological occult metal approach. Of chaos, the Deep will respond.”
He continues: “My alliance with Vorskaath (ex–Agatus/ex–Varathron) dates back to 1991, as we have been traversing parallel paths ever since – culminating in my joining ZEMIAL on stage in 2019 and Vorskaath joining PROSCRIPTOR MCGOVERN’S APSÛ as keyboardist for the sole album under that name. Therefore, it made utter sense to unite ZEMIAL’s power trio with this reincarnation of ABSU. Ultimately, it is a great honor to feature Vorskaath and company, in joining me, to convey these Tipharethian rites on stage.”
Vorskaath recently said about the upcoming collaboration: “’The Sun of Tiphareth’ represents my personal favorite album by ABSU, and through my close contact with Proscriptor, Shaftiel and Equitant, I was able to witness its inceptive creation: from the rehearsal stages until the album’s official release. I look forward to present an accurately thunderous rendition of this black/thrash colossus.”
To coincide with the performances, a deluxe 30th anniversary edition release is scheduled next year via Osmose Productions.
