Brazilian thrash metal cult legends THE MIST are back, and they’re not pulling any punches. Today marks the release of their brand-new album The Dark Side Of The Soul (An Anatomy Of The Soul), out now via Alma Mater Records, the label founded by MOONSPELL’s Fernando Ribeiro!

After decades in the shadows, THE MIST return with a vengeance, delivering a ferocious concept album that fuses raw aggression, dark atmosphere, and the unmistakable intensity that made them a cornerstone of Brazil’s underground metal scene.

Order the album now at: https://themist.bfan.link/the-dark-side-of-the-soul

Formed in 1989 from the ashes of MAYHEM and fronted by ex-CHAKAL vocalist Vladimir Korg, THE MIST quickly carved out their place in the Brazilian metal underground. Their debut Phantasmagoria (1989) introduced a furious thrash sound infused with heavy metal roots, while their dark, conceptual second album The Hangman Tree (1991) became an underground classic.

The band went on to experiment with industrial elements on Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (1993) and closed their first era with Gottverlassen (1995). After splitting up, THE MIST reemerged in 2018, reigniting their legacy with The Scarecrow Tour featuring Jairo Guedz of The Troops Of Doom, and in 2021 released the acclaimed comeback EP The Circle of the Crow.

Exactly 30 years after their last full-length Gottverlassen, Vladimir Korg once again leads THE MIST into new territory with a concept album divided into three acts. Produced by André Damien, mixed and mastered by acclaimed producer Tue Madsen (Halford, Meshuggah, Moonspell), and featuring cover art by Michael Whelan, The Dark Side Of The Soul stands as THE MIST’s most ambitious work to date. Musically, the album is pure, unrelenting thrash: lightning-fast riffs, punishing rhythms, furious vocals, and lyrics dripping with rage and allegory – the perfect soundtrack for vengeance, ready to reclaim their place among the titans of thrash!

Album track listing:

  1. The Curse Of Life
  2. (Embryo) – Anatomy Of The Soul
  3. (Cuore) – The Dark Side Of The Soul
  4. (Brain) – Geppetto’s Song
  5. (Liver) – Killing My Imaginary Friends
  6. (Lungs) – Death Is Alive Inside Me
  7. (Face) – Name + Number= Namber
  8. (Bones) – Lesson Lived, Lesson Learned
  9. (Death) – Return To Sender

The artwork, created by Remy Cooper (Headsplit Design / Napalm Death, Kreator), captures the album’s visceral energy and apocalyptic tone.

Iranian Extreme Metal duo Warahran makes a strong debut with “Flowered Field” teasing fans of black metal and thrash metal with its unique approach to the genre. “Flowered Field” is a song about the casualties of war, how each one of us could be next. The song is from the band’s upcoming album “Midnight Fire” which will be released everywhere on November 28th.

​“Flowered Field” opens with a progressive and yet, thrashy riff and abruptly moves to black metal style vocals and drumlines while maintaining a progressive metal song structure. The song also features death metal riffs to intensify the atmosphere and also a heavy breakdown to add a modern touch. From a songwriting perspective, Warahran showcases the chaotic nature of war to listeners where anything can happen. Lyrically this aligns well with Warahran’s message.

Stream/Download the song here: https://fanlink.tv/warahran-ff

Warahran had this to add about “Flowered Field”:
​
“We all lie to ourselves that we’re safe, but war can happen at any time and anywhere. We could all be next, but it’s important to keep fighting the good fight.”
​
With lines like “No time for sorrow and grief the only emotion is hate” the band shows the drastic nature of war where there is no chance to feel any emotion but hate. At the end the band hints at retaliation at the aggressors. And how the victims of war will rise again.

The band also unveils the track list of its upcoming album “Midnight Fire”.

​01 – Eternal Nightmare
02 – Forced by Hate
03 – Midnight Fire
04 – Flowered Field
05 – Hills of Corpses
06 – Rise Together
07 – Betrayer
08 – Ten Thousand Immortals

From the blackened mines of Bergslagen and rising from the ashes of the now‑defunct band Maniak, Sweden’s ZADISM emerge as an unholy force bent on obliterating restraint.

Guided by the spirit of the early Brazilian underground (you know the ones – disfigured riffs, filthy production, uncompromising aggression) and the savage blueprint laid down by the German thrash metal pioneers at the dawn of the scene, this duo brings a sound steeped in raw violence and fury.

Their debut EP “Under Sadistic Law”, out 21 November via De:Nihil Records and Dala Destroi Records, is a concentrated dose of extremity: short, brutal and unrelenting. ZADISM don’t just honour the relics of the past: they inject them with fresh, virulent energy and drag them screaming into the present.

The first single “Under Sacred Soil” is now streaming at THIS LOCATION.

Tracklist:

01. Ernestine
02. Victims of the Sadistic Whip
03. Under Sacred Soil
04. Chapel of Scum
05. Coprophilian Nightmare

About AGNOSTIC FRONT:

Founded in 1982, AGNOSTIC FRONT stand among the most esteemed pioneers of the hardcore genre. No band comes close in sonic and socio authenticity and sincerity, where the struggles of survival on the streets have quite literally given life to a sound that remains as impactful today as it was over four decades ago. AGNOSTIC FRONT‘s battering, socially critical sounds serve as the foundation of true New York hardcore and helped initiate the emergence of crossover thrash. Following a slew of pummeling offerings, the band, led by the inimitable roar of Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma’s legendary charismatic guitar playing, continue to showcase unapologetically honest lyrics and signature aggression in Echoes in Eternity.

Portuguese Gothic Metal Veterans INHUMAN Unleash New Album “GLORIÆ”

Portuguese gothic metal veterans INHUMAN are celebrating the release of their much-awaited, new studio album “GLORIÆ”, that is out now on Alma Mater Records! Get your copy HERE

Inspired by the Latin phrase for “of glory,” “GLORIÆ” is INHUMAN‘s most mature and daring album to date. Written during a challenging period for the band and once again produced by Daniel Cardoso, the new work delves deeply into themes of personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and self-discovery.

Lyrically, the album uses the concept of glory – and its absence – as a metaphor for personal struggles and triumphs. The band has also embraced a minimalist visual aesthetic, focusing on the interplay of presence and absence to invite listeners to interpret the subjective nature of glory.

Listen to the album HERE

Tracklist:

  1. Absent Glory
  2. Conspiratio
  3. Seed of Ancient Hate
  4. To Reign In Captivity
  5. Illuminate the Pain
  6. Semblance of Reality
  7. Overgone
  8. The Dreariest One
  9. Do Fim dos Dias
  10. Visionary State

Furthermore, to mark the release of “GLORIÆ”, INHUMAN will perform live at the first edition of Alma Mater Nights, a special label-curated event taking place on December 12 at República da Música in Lisbon.

Sharing the stage with labelmates Glasya, who will also present their new album “Fear”, the evening promises a celebration of Portuguese metal at its most authentic and powerful. The night will conclude with a special DJ set by FernandoMoon (Moonspell). Tickets are available HERE

INHUMAN are:
Pedro Garcia – Vocals
João Pedro Correia – Guitars
Guilherme Garboa – Bass
Ruben Patrício – Drums
