VISCERAL EVISCERATION to Re-Issue Debut Album “Incessant Desire For Palatable Flesh” on January 23rd

Doom metal outfit Visceral Evisceration have announced the re-issue of their debut album Incessant Desire For Palatable Flesh via Hammerheart Records. The 1994 album, re-mastered by Erwin Hermsen at Toneshed Studio (Trouble, Master, Therion, Legion of the Damned), will be available on vinyl for the first time.

Pre-orders are now available here: https://visceralevisceration.lnk.to/incessantdesire

Although Visceral Evisceration probably didn’t have access to the same medical pathology textbooks Carcass did, the lyrical spirit is the same. Primarily interested in dismemberment, cannibalism and more dismemberment, they can barely be distinguished from Regurgitate, Vomitory or the aforementioned Carcass in their early, glory days. If one only reads the lyric sheet and not listens to the music, that is.

Incessant Desire For Palatable Flesh is one of the oddest, most compelling and most hauntingly beautiful metal recordings one will ever encounter. Simply put, this is exquisite doom metal in the finest musical tradition of Paradise Lost, Winter and My Dying Bride. Slow coursing riffs fleshed out with crystalline lead guitar, acrobatic drumming, clean and growled male vocals, and one of the most arresting and gorgeously throated female vocalists extant, mesh to create an enticing atmosphere of paradoxical beauty. In the end, there is no reconciliation possible. One must simply experience this band and recognize that they forged their own way and then bulldozed the results to obliteration so that nobody could ever follow their demented path. Certainly you have never heard another band being anything like this.

Incessant Desire For Palatable Flesh has everything the doom aficionado could ask for. It’s slow. It’s heavy. It’s plodding. It’s melodic. This album was released in 1994 and has become a rarity since then. There is a lot of demand for it and the world screamed for a vinyl edition, so Hammerheart Records heard the call. If you want to hear something that is truly different, this is the release for you.

Track-list:
1. (I Am) Enarmoured of Dead Bodies
2. At the Epicurean Gynaecologist
3. Muse Perverse
4. Knee Deep in Blood I Wade
5. Chewing Female Genital Parts
6. Tender Flesh… On the Bier
7. Gangling Menstrual Blood-broth for Supper

BILA Announce Debut Album “Beżżalart” + Share Video for First Single ‘A Thousand Wolves’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 13, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: BILA. Leave a comment

Maltese hardcore/noise punk trio BILA have announced their upcoming debut album, ‘Beżżalart’, due for release on December 5 via Go Down Records and Kewn Records.

Alongside the announcement, the band have unleashed the album’s first single, ‘A Thousand Wolves’, accompanied by a blistering new music video – watch it here:

Visceral, high-octane, and bone-crunchingly heavy, ‘Beżżalart’ captures the purest essence of BILA’s anarchic sound and energy. Across eleven tracks, the trio channels their socially charged rage and offbeat sense of humor into a bilingual barrage of angular grooves, shout-along hooks, and weapons-grade riffage — perfectly distilling the chaos and intensity of their ferocious live shows.

Rooted in Maltese folklore and shaped by the harsh realities of modern island life, ‘Beżżalart’ paints a scorching portrait of a landscape drowning in concrete and corruption. It’s a furious reaction to the real estate developer hellscapes conjured by neoliberal gargoyle governments — and a declaration of defiance from a band that thrives in the noise between protest and playfulness.

Tracklist:

  1. A Thousand Wolves
  2. Drowner
  3. Ħabbagozz
  4. Pre-drinkers
  5. Tlebliba
  6. Brain Cake
  7. Boltera
  8. Beżżalart
  9. Everything + Nothing
  10. Bla Buzz
  11. Sin Eaters

The album was recorded at David Vella’s Temple Studios and produced by Wayne Adams (Petbrick, Big Lad) at Bear Bites Horse Studios in the UK. ‘Beżżalart’ is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

BILA are:
Nick Morales | vocals, guitar
Samwel Mallia | vocals, bass
Benji Cachia | drums, percussion

ADDITIONAL MUSICIAN
Wayne Adams on synths

Portuguese SOUL OF ANUBIS Join Time To Kill Records, New Full-Length Due in 2026

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 13, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SOUL OF ANUBIS. Leave a comment

Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the signing of Portuguese power duo SOUL OF ANUBIS for the release of their upcoming third full-length album, set for 2026.

Formed in 2010 in Northern Portugal, SOUL OF ANUBIS have carved out a distinct place within the European underground thanks to their explosive fusion of thrash, sludge, doom and post-metal. Their sound channels the raw urgency of Mantar, the primal energy of early Mastodon, and the relentless drive of High On Fire and Black Cobra, yet remains unmistakably their own – a visceral blend of aggression and dynamic shifts that refuses to be confined to a single genre.

On stage, the duo are known for their fierce and magnetic performances, delivering an unfiltered surge of heaviness that connects with audiences on a deeply physical level. Over the years, they have performed extensively across Portugal and beyond, building a loyal following through their intensity and authenticity.

The upcoming album promises to push their sonic boundaries even further, expanding upon their trademark blend of massive riffs, dark groove, and emotional gravity, while highlighting a newfound sense of urgency and compositional versatility.

More details on the release will be revealed soon.

Line-up:

Hugo Ferrão – Guitar, Vocals
Rui Silva – Drums

COLTAINE Announce EU/UK Tour Dates Supporting FAETOOTH

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 13, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: COLTAINE. Leave a comment

Following the release of their cinematic new album ‘Brandung’, Germany’s post-metal outfit COLTAINE have announced a run of EU and UK tour dates in early 2026, joining Los Angeles doom trio FAETOOTH as main support.

The tour kicks off on January 22nd in Berlin and will see both bands bringing their immersive and emotionally charged soundscapes to a string of intimate venues across Europe and the UK.

Formed amid the misty forests of southern Germany in 2022, COLTAINE have quickly carved a unique space within the post-metal landscape. Their latest album ‘Brandung’ (out now via Lay Bare Recordings) expands on the ethereal melancholy of their debut ‘Forgotten Ways’, blending acoustic introspection with seismic surges of electric catharsis. Across its nine interconnected tracks, vocalist Julia Frasch and her bandmates summon tides of longing and transcendence – a sonic ebb and flow that feels at once fragile and immense.

With ‘Brandung’, COLTAINE reaffirm their commitment to atmosphere and emotional depth – qualities that will find their fullest expression on stage this winter. Sharing the bill with FAETOOTH, whose hazy yet heavy blend of doom and sludge has earned them a dedicated cult following, the pairing promises an evening of both raw power and haunting beauty.
