Prepare for the ritual. Dark groove band Witches Ride are set to unleash their long-awaited new album Collector on June 19th, 2025. Alongside the album announcement, the band has dropped a gripping new music video for the single, “Among the Crowd.”

Described by the band as “a bit of a dark rock opera about a preacher who loses his following and sells his soul to the devil in hopes of getting it back,” Collector plunges listeners into a shadowy world of damnation and redemption.

Collector Tracklisting:

  1. Sinner
  2. Devils details
  3. Amor
  4. Walk away

June 19th @ Whiskey a go-go
August 16th @ Nosferatu Fest, The Grey Witch Las Vegas
Sept. 19th @ Redwood Bar and Grill, LA

Witches Ride is a dark groove machine—part Southern-fried chaos, part industrial ritual. Fusing the bone-crushing swagger of Clutch with the sinister theatrics of Marilyn Manson, this band rides the line between dirty rock ‘n’ roll and occult-fueled spectacle. Think smoke, sweat, and distortion—wrapped in velvet and barbed wire.

Driven by thunderous riffs, hypnotic rhythms, and snarling vocals, Witches Ride brings a unique alchemy to the stage. With the keys casting eerie atmospheres and haunted textures, the sound is as cinematic as it is feral—blues-born, hell-bound, and soaked in gasoline.

Every show is a ceremony. Every song is a spell. And once you’re under, there’s no turning back.

Welcome to Witches Ride. 

Witches Ride Members:
Sara Brady- Lead Singer
Evo Mikey- Lead Guitar

Produced by Scott Seigel and Corey Bautista, the new track serves as an official glimpse into the band’s upcoming full-length effort.

It’s an attempt to capture that internal war, the fear of slipping, and the strength it takes to keep holding the line when everything in you wants to let go,” explains Hance.

Woe, Is Me is confirmed to perform at Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY on Saturday, September 20th.

Stay tuned for more announcements surrounding the upcoming album and future tour dates.

UK melodic power metal force Sorceress Of Sin return with a thunderous new live video for their track “Poseidon”, filmed at the historic Cart & Horses—the cradle of Iron Maiden and a cornerstone of British heavy metal heritage.

Taken from their acclaimed album “Ennea” (out via Wormholedeath Worldwide), this live rendition captures the raw energy and epic scope that Sorceress Of Sin are known for. Commanded by powerful female-fronted vocals, razor-sharp riffs, and unrelenting rhythm, “Poseidon” surges with theatrical might and metal fury.

LORD BELIAL Unveil Darkest Anthem Yet ‘The Whore’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 26, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: LORD BELIAL. Leave a comment

From the depths of the unhallowed night emerges ‘The Whore’, the latest ceremonial offering from Swedish black metal stalwarts Lord Belial‘s forthcoming album Unholy Trinity. The new album will be released on 27th June via Hammerheart Records.

Listen to ‘The Whore’ via Metal Injection here.

Pre-orders for Unholy Trinity are available here: https://lordbelial.lnk.to/unholytrinity

The track stands as a testament to Lord Belial‘s unwavering commitment to the ancient black metal arts, forged in the fires of Nordic tradition yet bearing the mark of their distinctive sonic sorcery.  ‘The Whore’ serves as both warning and invitation, a declaration that Lord Belial continues to reign supreme in the blackened pantheon of extreme metal.

Lord Belial comment on the track: “‘The Whore’ conjures an apocalyptic vision rooted in Revelation, where Babylon rises as a symbol of spiritual decay, lust, and power. Fueled by searing riffs and infernal intensity, the track unleashes a harrowing portrait of the scarlet beast and the dominion of the Mother of Harlots. It stands as a dark pillar of Unholy Trinity, merging biblical imagery with Lord Belial’s signature blackened ferocity.“

Track-list:
1. Ipse Venit
2. Glory to Darkness
3. Serpent’s Feast
4. Blasphemy
5. In Chaos Transcend
6. The Whore
7. Scornful Vengeance 
8. The Great Void
9. Antichrist

Swedish black metal legends Lord Belial return in 2025 with their tenth studio album, Unholy Trinity, a fierce continuation of their legacy, set to push the boundaries of extreme music even further. Formed in 1992, Lord Belial has been a cornerstone of the Scandinavian black metal scene for over three decades, known for blending raw aggression with haunting melody and atmosphere.

Following their triumphant 2022 comeback with Rapture, hailed as one of their strongest works to date, Unholy Trinity sees the band sharpen their sound to deadly precision. Where Rapture reasserted Lord Belial’s dominance, Unholy Trinity takes it a step further; darker, more extreme, yet deeply rooted in the band’s signature melodic sensibility.

Once again working with legendary producer Andy LaRocque (King Diamond, Death) at Sonic Train Studios, Lord Belial deliver a relentless assault that is both savage and sophisticated — a masterclass in modern black metal.

Since their 1995 debut Kiss the Goat, Lord Belial have built a revered discography, including cult classics like Enter the Moonlight Gate, Unholy Crusade, and Nocturnal Beast. Often compared to genre-defining acts such as Dissection, the band has earned its place among the elite of extreme metal, seamlessly merging blackened ferocity with death-infused melody.

With Unholy Trinity, Lord Belial prove once again that their flame still burns strong and colder than ever. Expect nothing less than a powerful, immersive journey into the heart of Swedish black metal.

Line up:
Thomas Backelin – Vocals, guitars
Niclas Pepa Green – Guitars
Micke Backelin – Drums

DRAWN AND QUARTERED Announce Ninth Full-Length Album “Lord of Two Horns”, Out June 27th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 26, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: DRAWN AND QUARTERED. Leave a comment

Relentless and unwavering, DRAWN AND QUARTERED return to desecrate all that is holy with the release of their brand-new full-length album, “Lord of Two Horns”, set to drop in LP, CD and MC format on June 27th, 2025 via Nuclear Winter Records.

True standard-bearers of the most vile and uncompromising American death metal, the Seattle-based horde have spent decades defying trends, weathering every storm the underground could throw at them, only to emerge more savage and resolute than ever.

“Lord of Two Horns” delivers eight tracks and 34 minutes of unfiltered DRAWN AND QUARTERED carnage: a maelstrom of blast-driven violence, suffocating atmosphere, and riff work sharp enough to flay flesh from bone. While doom-laden passages and crypt-born melodies still lurk within the shadows, the prevailing force is one of unhinged ferocity – this is death metal crafted to maim, forged in fire and performed with malicious intent.

The first single “Black Castle Butcher” is now streaming HERE.

Tracklist:

01. Black Castle Butcher
02. Zealous Depopulation
03. Lord of Two Horns
04. Into the Mouth of the Dead
05. Three Rivers of Poison (Blasphemous Persecution)
06. Grimoire of Blood
07. The Devil’s Work Is Never Done
08. Mass Grave Curse

Recorded over various periods in 2023-2024 at Plague Pit by guitarist Kelly Shane Kuciemba (with drums recorded by Chris Mannino at Die Burning Studios), mixed and mastered by Loïc Fontaine for Krucyator Productions, “Lord of Two Horns” sees DRAWN AND QUARTERED deliver their signature early-90s-influenced death metal darkness with more speed and brutality than ever before.

Birthed in the mists of the early 1990’s as Plague Bearer in the isolated and miniscule death metal underground emerging in Seattle, DRAWN AND QUARTERED would explode upon the unsuspecting scene with their debut demo and furious live performances in 1996. The iconic debut release “To Kill Is Human” emerged in 1998, self-released prior to its later reissue by Moribund Records. Two US tours followed, but it would not be until 2002 that a follow-up release would finally arrive with “Extermination Revelry”, which began to showcase a more sinister approach than before.

Three subsequent releases via the Moribund Cult followed in relatively quick succession, including the landmark “Hail Infernal Darkness” in 2006. After the 2012 release of their sixth album “Feeding Hell’s Furnace” on Nuclear Winter Records, and live performances in New York and Texas, DRAWN AND QUARTERED was forced to regroup following a line-up change. It would be 2015 when they reappeared with the “Proliferation of Disease” demo (later released on CD). Two albums would follow via Krucyator Productions, including the previous full-length “Congregation Pestilence” in 2022, which was followed by a successfu US tour and DRAWN AND QUARTERED’s second European appearance.

Line-up:

Kelly Shane Kuciemba – lead & rhythm guitars
Herb Burke – bass guitar & vocals
Simon Dorfman – drums & percussion
Brandon Corsair – guitar
