BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION have released the first single ‘From Another Point Of View’ from their upcoming EP ‘This Is Dubcore!’.
This special collection of five tracks features the band’s pioneering sound that helped define the genre of Dubcore, and ‘From Another Point Of View’ is dubcore at its very best. Shredding metal riffs in combination with electronic metal production is the foundation of this single which is now being released worldwide. As cherry on the cake, the track is also produced and mastered by the talented Dino Medanhodzic.
‘From This Point Of View’ is out now on all streaming services, at this location.
Clandestinely conceived by current and former members of The Ocean, War From A Harlot’s Mouth and Gigan in 2014, international extreme metal collective NIGHTMARER is gearing up for the release of the band’s highly anticipated sophomore full-length record, entitled “Deformity Adrift”, set for release May 5th via Vendetta Records and Total Dissonance Worship. After the releases of the first two singles “Throe of Illicit Withdrawal” and “Taufbefehl“, the band offers today another intense glimpse into their soon to be released album with the music video for “Hammer of Desolation”!
NIGHTMARER comments:
“Prepare to be plunged into the desolate abyss that is ‘Hammer of Desolation’, a song heavily inspired by the looming threat of nuclear warfare. The fact that the chorus sounds like a barrage of gunfire is really gonna pummel the subject matter straight through your skull.
The music video was again shot all DIY and is guest starring Leon del Muerte (ex-Nails / Exhumed / Impaled).”
The band’s upcoming album “Deformity Adrift” is NIGHTMARER‘s most diverse work to date, venturing far beyond the conventions of the already unconventional genre of Dissonant Death Metal, without sacrificing even an ounce of viciousness. Strong undercurrents of Industrial and Doom Metal can be found throughout this 32 min behemoth of a record, which ends with an oppressive wall of sound that will leave you bruised and battered.
“Deformity Adrift” was mixed and mastered by Raphaël Bovey at MyRoom Studio. Cover art by Jeanne Comateuse. The album will be released on vinyl, CD, cassette tape, digital and streaming formats by Total Dissonance Worship (US) and Vendetta Records (EU).
“Deformity Adrift” is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

Death metal heavy weights DISCREATION are celebrating the release of their new studio offering, Iron Times, out now on Massacre Records. In support of the band’s sixth album, they have just unleashed a new music video for the heavy as hell track “Bringer Of Demise”. Guitarist Sebastian Schilling comments:
“With the stunning video clip for “Bringer Of Demise” we celebrate the release of our new album “Iron Times”. We hope you enjoy this story of an epic struggle that we have brought to life together with Alexander Krull. It is also the first time that you can see us perform together with Death Metal Lagend Marc Grewe.”
Created during the Corona pandemic and under the impression of a then impending – now ongoing war in the middle of Europe – inspired by the countless wars and turning points in history, Iron Times marks the band’s darkest record to date.
But, Iron Times is also a turning point for the band, as with Marc Grewe (ex-Morgoth) DISCREATION welcomed a true death metal legend to their ranks! His distinctive voice perfectly matches with the new album songs, while blast attacks, tank grooves, bleak melodies and grim determination showcase DISCREATION‘s very own variant of German death metal.
Iron Times was produced by Alexander Krull, who gave the album an earthy yet powerful sound. The goal was to capture the band’s raw live sound and add a contemporary punch. Mission accomplished!
Out now via Massacre Records, Iron Times is available at THIS LOCATION!

Canada’s The Metal Voice recently spoke to Steel Panther’s singer Michael Starr. Starr spoke about the bands new album ‘On The Prowl’ Plus Starr also spoke about if the band is getting push back from cancel culture folks.
Sixth Studio Album ‘On The Prowl’ was released February 24, 2023.
From the interview
Michael Starr was asked if there was any push back at their shows from the cancel culture folks he replied,” No, not really. The only push back we got was for a plug-in that Satchel designed called the ‘Pussy Melter’ and it was on the TC electronics website and a girl guitar player saw it and she got extremely offended by it. She wrote the company and (the company) took the plug-in off because one person was upset with it. So Satchel came up with the idea and said why don’t we just make a guitar pedal? So we got into the guitar pedal business. And that thing flew off the shelves so quick, cause people were trying to cancel us. We only made 10,000 of them, just a small order of them, a limited edition. And we sold them all in two weeks. So somebody tried to cancel us, or a subcategory of us and it kind of backfired on them. Anyways my point is people that come to our shows, they know what to expect. No one walks off the street and says ohh that looks like a fun show, I’m going to go in buy a ticket and go, I am so offended by them saying FU#K or whatever. People that come to our shows know what they are coming into. They know they are coming to a show where they are going to laugh and hear some profane, politically incorrect humour. I think everyone’s there for the same party. So we really haven’t experienced any of that cancel culture. Our shows have been selling out on this tour and I would like to attribute it to how great my hair looks but it’s not that it is more like people are sick of not being heard. People are sick of getting bullshitted and they want something they can count on. “

London-based multinational black metal band CALLIGRAM have today announced their sophomore full-length, Position | Momentum, will be released on July 14 via Prosthetic Records. Alongside the album announcement, the quintet have also shared the lead single and accompanying video, Ex-Sistere.
Speaking on Position | Momentum‘s announcement, CALLIGRAM comments: “Position | Momentum is a concept that comes from quantum physics: it says that when studying a particle you can’t know its position and its momentum (its impetus) at the same time. It’s strongly related to the idea of chaos/uncertainty, to the Heisenberg theory and it conveys very well our intentions of exploring the unpredictability of life and the full blown chaos that lies underneath existence which is what this album is about.”
Joy can be found in the most unlikely of places. A listen through CALLIGRAM‘s latest offering may not instantly conjure up feelings of immediate joy, but rest assured – between the blistering howls and blackened riffs, there is much to celebrate.
Position | Momentum saw the group decamp to The Parlour Studios in Kettering to record with Russ Russell (Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir, At The Gates) during the summer of 2022. The follow up to 2020’s The Eye Is The First Circle doesn’t ease up on intensity; if anything, giving the chaos a little more room to breathe has shaped CALLIGRAM into something even more formidable than before.
Sonically, the band has further refined their amalgamation of bilious D-beat punk and ice cold black metal. The results are as abrasive as one would hope, but ceding space to atmospheric passages helps create a claustrophobic, ominous ambience to proceedings; allowing some light in only serves to accentuate the darkness further.
Once again vocals are delivered in Matteo Rizzardo’s native Italian – and even those who don’t speak the language should soon pick up the jist of his missives. Tales of pain, chaos, struggle and anxiety are poured into each anguished scream, a growing sense of combustibility becomes palpable as the album progresses. But Rizzardo is keen to clarify that Position | Momentum is not about catharsis through music: this is not his therapy.
The hardest work for Rizzardo was done away from the band as he walked along a path of acceptance and self-analysis. As the burdens on his shoulders grew heavier and the darkness became all-consuming he set out to understand, embrace and reclaim the darkest parts of himself. Position | Momentum documents his feelings looking back at troubled times – with clarity, acceptance, and yes – joy. Reflecting on his experiences with some emotional distance meant that the lyrics came easily; Rizzardo describes them as ‘flying out’ – a purging of sorts.
Music is often seen as medicine; a balm to soothe what ails you. With no intention to use Position | Momentum as a crutch, CALLIGRAM has crafted the opposite – a caustic celebration of pain, death and chaos.
Position | Momentum tracklist: 1. Sul Dolore 2. Frantumi In Itinere 3. Eschilo 4. Tebe 5. Per Jamie 6. Ostranenie 7. Ex-Sistere 8. Seminario Dieici
CALLIGRAM is: Matteo Rizzardo – vocals Ardo Cotones – drums / vocals Bruno Cambiaghi – guitar Tim Desbos – guitar Smittens – bass
