Costa Rican Black/Death Metal project GRANDIOSA MUERTE has dropped a music video for ‘Sibila’, taken from Grandiosa Muerte’s album “Egregor”, out via Wormholedeath worldwide.
The album “Egregor” is a Death/Black Metal conduit for the occult, a channel for ancient spirits and forbidden knowledge not to be released upon the mortal plane. It is a journey through the shadows, a descent into the unknown, a celebration of the dual aspect of the soul materialized in a 30-minute sonic journey exploring the deepest depths of the human psyche and the beyond.
PHRENESY have released a lyric video ‘Lost Generation’, taken from the band’s album “Fears Apocalypse” out via Wormholedeath.
Brazilian Thrash Metal band Phrenesy, with their second full album, “Fears Apocalypse”, has stayed true to their powerful Thrash Metal style while naturally evolving through their hard work in the Brazilian underground music scene.
THE CRAWLING‘s third album entitled, “All Of This For Nothing” explores the futility of existence, and the difficulty of living in our current world. The album’s 7 tracks span over 43 minutes, and is set for worldwide release July 28th 2023 via Grindscene Records.
Vocalist/guitarist Andy Clarke comments;
“Life is hard, very hard, at times almost impossible. I see more and more people make their lives so difficult with continued efforts to conform, fit in with societal cultures and expectation from so called peers. This is rarely effective, and often results in further misery and unhappiness. The album looks at various iterations of this concept, along with the dreadful outcomes. The lyrics explore the lack of personal accountability in life, and the ultimate realisation none of the inane aspects matter, as life is finite … and you only get one go. Life is a journey through a bleak, cold, harsh reality … that ends in a void of nothingness.”
The cover artwork was created by Travis Smith, perfectly capturing the essence of the album, and can be viewed below, together with the track-list below.

March of the Worm (5:57)

The double CD edition of “Malum Supplicium”, the new album by Portuguese extreme/symphonic/black metallers CAEDEOUS, is finally ready for delivery these days after some logistical difficulties. In addition to the regular album, the second CD contains all tracks in a purely orchestral version. A bonus that was very important to composer and mastermind Paulo J. Mendes, because the orchestral version of the songs completes the band’s musical vision.
With “Pandemonium”, the band has now released a second, artful video, which is now available on the MDD YouTube channel. Check it out!
Italian black-death metal punks THE END OF SIX THOUSAND YEARS have been mostly dormant since 2012’s “Perpetuum”, but have now come out of their long hibernation. The band returns with a new self-titled EP, which is slated for release via Hypershape Records on May 18th 2023.
Today, No Clean Singing is hosting the official premiere of “The End Of Six Thousand Years”. Stream the EP at THIS LOCATION.
The Italian black-death metal punks have crafted a release that will hit both hard and direct as well as challenge the listeners with its rich detail and enormous atmosphere. Extreme, yet diverse. Intense, captivating and simply brooding in every form!
The EP marks a new era for a band that has proven to continue to make music of the highest quality despite facing many challenges and line-up changes along the way.
Encompassing elements of black-death metal, post rock, dark punk and more and shrouded under a veil of bleakness, THE END OF SIX THOUSAND YEARS casts its spell and captures an atmosphere that is raw, otherworldly, and ultimately tragic.
Tracklist:
01. Collider 02. Endbearer 03. Voidwalker 04. The Man Who Loves to Hurt Himself (Today Is The Day cover)
THE END OF SIX THOUSAND YEARS was formed in 2004 as a five-piece scattered all over Italy.
After releasing a 3-song demo in 2005 and a split with the American act Embrace The End in 2006, T.E.O.S.T.Y. quickly gain a cult status in the underground scene publishing “Isolation” (2008), flawlessly blending Swedish death metal, black metal, crust and post rock influences.
In 2012 the band released the second effort, “Perpetuum”, which displayed a darker and more atmospheric approach to their trademark sound.
From the following year, the band limited their activities until entering a hiatus that would last for about a decade.
In 2020 the band slowly started over with a new line-up consisting of 3 founding members (Nicola, Matteo and Luca) with the addition of Michele Basso (Viscera///, Formalist, Hypershape Records) and Gianmaria Mustillo (Hierophant, Carnero, Abaton) both taking care of the vacant guitar duties.
The revamped line up brings forth a new EP consisting of 3 brand new songs as well as a cover of the influential American noise band Today Is The Day.
T.E.O.S.T.Y.’s latest opus sounds rawer, more aggressive and dissonant than ever. The mixing process was handled by Gabriele Gramaglia (Cosmic Putrefaction) making sure those bleak, discordant slabs of punk-infused black/death metal would be as punishing as possible.
During their various runs across Europe T.E.O.S.T.Y. shared the stage with The Ocean, Cursed, Mouth of the Architect, Dead To Fall and Martyr AD, among many others.

From its inception, WITHERED have been an outlier. The band are a perplexing charge of extremity that the metal scene still hasn’t put its finger on.
“We’re definitely a band for metal nerds”, says guitarist Mike Thompson, who also handles the vocals.
Originally formed in 2003 by Thompson and ex-guitarist/vocalist Chris Freeman, WITHERED set out to re-write black, doom and death metal mores. After 18 years and five albums, WITHERED have achieved that goal by refusing to call any one subgenre home. The band has toured with Mastodon, High on Fire, Mayhem, 1349 and Danzig. You never know what kind of mystery WITHERED are going to uncork live. Sometimes, it’s a DIY kick in the gut. Other times, it’s a stage soaked in bloody red and searing white lights.
‘Verloren’ is WITHERED’s most daring and iconoclastic offering yet. This album harkens back to the band’s funeral doom roots, especially on eight-minute opener “By Tooth in Tongue”. But it also features clean vocals for the first time ever. The title, which translates to “Missing”, isn’t just a reference to friends, families and memories that disappear as time ticks by. It’s also a reflection on the pandemic and how much the band has missed writing, recording and touring together.
“For most people, metal is purely aesthetic, a grandstanding ‘f-you’ to society and an adolescent rebellion kind of thing,” says Thompson. “But at the same time, we do get positive feedback from the people who have looked a bit deeper and done some research. We just want to be honest”.
