Inthraced is a Finnish metal band founded in 2011, blending melodic intensity with cosmic darkness to forge a distinct and powerful soundscape. Their early releases, “The New Awakening” (2012) and “The Rising Chaos” (2014), set the foundation for their rise, further amplified by the 2019 single “Interstellar.”
In 2022, the band was reborn with a new guitarist and bassist, igniting the creative fire behind their debut album “Constellation Zero” — an epic and ambitious journey that carries the listener to the very edges of the universe.
Line-up: Tommi Takkunen – Guitar & Vocals Mirko Byman – Guitar Eetu Kovapohja – Bass Antti Ikonen – Drums
SERPENTHEIR is a Gdańsk-based experimental metal project rooted in symphonic black and melodic death metal. With a versatile discography of 4.5 albums, including the phantasmagorical ‘Hypernature’s Vines’ and the dreaming, ethereal ‘Oneirism’, the project attempts to answer sonic questions like, ‘What happens when you fuse groove metal with symphonic black metal?‘ and ‘How would a journey from Industrial to the Baroque unfold?‘.
Their compositions are often unstable, feisty, and temperamental. The combination of a drum machine with melodic riffs under massive layers of synths creates an effect of oversaturated, mechanically-conducted extremity.
Pronunciation: ser-pen-th-air (rhymes with chair)
Watch the visualizer here:
Serpentheir has undergone a metamorphosis through a mostly solitary decade of geographic shifts and creative defiance. Conceived by Maurizio Pullman (aka Dr. Caligula), the project has meticulously built a 4.5-album discography—from the cold echoes of the 2017 EP ‘Undertones of Yore’ and the grueling “meta” struggle of the ‘Protracting the States Invariant’ era, to the prolific one-year from-sketch-to-release experiment ‘Shadow People’, which has reignited the nearly smoldered out creative process.
Now based back in Gdańsk, the project has finally shed its one-man skin. The fold has expanded to include a full lineup of dedicated composers, pushing the project’s musical horizons further with the promise to never become complacent and always strive to evolve.
With the 2026 release of ‘Iridescence’ and the band finally hitting the stage, another chapter of mechanically-conducted extremity begins.
FFO: Thy Catafalque, Samael, Tiamat, Arcturus, Ihsahn, The Kovenant.
MORRATH‘s story begins in 2017 when teenage maniacs founded a thrash metal band Prowler in their small hometown in western Poland. After few years of local gigs, loads of lineup changes, leaving Maslakowski and Jankowski as the only original members and finding a drummer capable of playing blastbeats, they changed their name to Morrath, following their musical shift into heavier and faster playing, improvement in skills and to simply get a fresh start.
Within 5 years they released: “Inhumanity Enthroned” (2021, EP), “Centuries of Blindness” (2023, album), “Przegnity Konglomerat” (2025, split) and now they are releasing brand new EP titled “Obscure Abominations“. They also played numerous amount of live shows and shared the stage with bands like Incantation, Nocturnal, Arkona, Vomitory, Anima Damnata, Stillborn, Baalzagoth and Gallower.
Music for “Obscure Abominaion” EP was recorded during fall in 2024:
guitars, bass and vocals recorded in Świniarnia Studio Trzcinica by Damian Duda
drums recorded in Poznan by Mateusz Wrobel
All was mixed and mastered by Michał Grabowski (Christ Agony, Towards Hellfire, Feto In Fetus). Cover artwork was done by Mieszko Jankowski (Coffinwood, Leprozorium, Night Lord). On the new record few guests performed:
Eryk Jakubczyk (Frightful): guitar solo in “Gospel of Heretics“,
Szymon Plewa (Night Lord): guitar solo in “Human Eradication“,
Damian Duda (Vishurddha): synth & keyboard in “Where the Obscure Dwells“,
Krzysiek Śniadecki (Godslut): guest solo in “Blasphemy Reigns“.
EP is released digitally and as limited CD up to 300 pcs by Polish underground label Necroscope Blasphemia. Physical release will consist live tracks from split “Przegnity konglomerat” released in 2025 on strictly limited edition to 80 tapes. Pre-order of the upcoming EP is available on Bandcamp (here).
Band comments new EP: “We decided to make our music more dark, moody, transcendental and even psychedelic or ‘acidic’, while still making sure we deliver the right amount of aggression and brutality. Guitars, bass and vocals were recorded in less professional space than those of the album, which gave us more control over the sound, more time to work etc., so “Obscure Abominations” finally have the sound we think works the best for our music“.

Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the signing of Italian death metallers CHRONIC HATE, who will release their highly anticipated new album, “Defeating The Oblivion Of Life“, through the label.
Born from a band seasoned by over two decades of experience, the album clearly draws inspiration from the classic ‘90s death metal sound, with a nod to bands like Monstrosity and early Sinister, while updating these influences just enough to create a record that goes beyond mere homage. The songs are built around intricate, well-constructed riffs, impressive technical skill without descending into empty showmanship, and a subtle atmospheric layer that occasionally hints at blackened currents.
“Defeating The Oblivion Of Life” inaugurates a significant new chapter for CHRONIC HATE. The album thrusts listeners into the extreme spirals of death metal through a mature fusion of different influences and compositional approaches. Its sound is driven by a solid and devastating production, achieved in the tradition of the genre with 100% acoustic drums and real amplifiers.
Lyrically, the album is an act of rebellion against a world that seeks to condemn our lives to oblivion, submerging us in distractions and waste, reducing us to a dehumanized herd. The songs alternate between crude, direct verses and more intimate, lacerating, and personal passages, delivering undeniable emotional power and authenticity.
Formed in 2001 in Northeast Italy, CHRONIC HATE have built a strong presence in the European metal scene, performing alongside bands such as Obituary, Suffocation, Misery Index, Destruction, Hideous Divinity, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Pungent Stench, Disharmonic Orchestra, Severe Torture, Nero di Marte, Sadist, Impiety, Noctem, Tortharry, Doomas, and many more. They have appeared at festivals including Tolminator Metalfest 2024 (Slovenia), Gothoom Fest 2023 (Slovakia), Morphing Fest 2023 (Czech Republic), Metaldays Fest 2015 (Slovenia), Eresia Metalfest 2019 (Italy), as well as several smaller events across Italy, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, and Slovenia.

Eihwar release “Heill Óðinn,” the third single from their forthcoming album Hugrheim. A ritualistic homage to Óðinn, the Allfather, the track channels the resurgence of ancient memory and the echo of a forgotten world slowly returning to consciousness.
Rooted in the mythology of Hugrheim, the hidden tenth world of Yggdrasil, “Heill Óðinn” marks a decisive moment in the album’s unfolding narrative. In this realm shaped by the Hugr, the spirit, thoughts take form and memory becomes prophecy. As described in the fictional treatise Hugrheim, the Tenth World of Yggdrasil, this unseen domain stands beyond the nine known worlds, a shifting landscape where soul and fate intertwine.
“Heill Óðinn” captures the moment when memory stirs:
Minni fornra tíða kemr til vár smám saman / Í dag minnumk ek morgundags
“The memory of ancient times is slowly returning to us. Today, we remember tomorrow.”
Driven by pounding ritual drums, trance-inducing chants, and a chorus that resounds like a call from the spear-mountains of Hugrheim, the track pays tribute to the wanderer god who treads between worlds. Eihwar strike with a hybrid force: shamanic percussion collides with industrial undertones and Nordic folk instrumentation, forging an anthem that is both ceremonial and visceral.
The single is accompanied by an official music video, directed by Mark & Asrunn, featuring Benoit Lala as Óðinn. The visual narrative places the Allfather at the heart of Hugrheim’s awakening, summoning forces long dormant as destiny is once again set into motion.
Following the release of Hugrheim, Eihwar will carry the Tenth World across Europe on a headline run presented under the banner Pagan Folk Nights, joined by special guest Mira Ceti. After commanding major festival stages and igniting packed club shows, the duo now bring their ritual drums, trance chants and industrial folk pulse into an extended continental campaign.

Get ready for the wild electro Nordic folk of EIHWAR! These “Enfants Terribles” aren’t here for solemn atmospheres—their fierce and festive fantasy is made for raging Viking dancefloors. Backed by Season of Mist (home to Heilung and Danheim), Eihwar burst onto YouTube in 2023 and hasn’t slowed down since. With millions of views and festival appearances at Hellfest, Wacken Open Air, and Midgardsblot at the Midgard Viking Center in Norway, they bring a new wave of pagan power shaking across Europe.
This second album from Eihwar describes the world from which these two pagan superheroes originate. It is “Hugrheim,” the 10th hidden world of Yggdrasil in Eihwar’s fantasy mythology. The two musicians explain:
“Over the past few years, our souls have gradually taken over the bodies of two human musicians. Through incarnation, we lost much of our memories. All that remains are images, emotions, and fragments from our previous existence, mixed in with the thoughts and memories of our human hosts. In this new song, we evoke the memories that gradually come back to us: memories of Hugrheim, the tenth world of Yggdrasil, hidden and unknown to men. This world is shaped by the Hugr, the spirit. In this realm dwell the invisible forces of the soul and consciousness. When our vessels perish here and our incarnation ends, we will return to Hugrheim. Still, we hope to remain here as long as possible this time, because nowadays the beer is fucking good, the rockstar life is pretty damn cool, and dental anesthesia actually exists.” — Mark & Asrunn
Line-up: Asrunn — Vocals, Shamanic Drums Mark — Vocals, War Drums, Lute, Folk Guitar, Tagelharpa, Percussion & Programming
