Polish Cinematic Metallers JASMENO Present New Video ‘His Rebirth’, Feat. Bart Krysiuk

JASMENO was founded in the autumn of 2017 by Sławomir Nietupski, who is responsible for keyboards, synthesizers and programming. The project’s discography includes three releases: “Jasmeno” (2020), “Elixir” (2021) and “Lucid Horizon” (2022). Its music combines elements of progressive rock with melodic electronica inspired by the sounds of the 1970s and 1980s.

After an absence of nearly four years, JASMENO returns with “Assemblage of Cinematic Idioms”, an album that marks a significant shift in the project’s artistic direction. The material has a distinctly cinematic character and is built around the sound of a virtual symphony orchestra. Its concept was inspired by the work of Władysław Hasior, who created multilayered compositions from seemingly incompatible fragments of reality. In a similar way, Sławomir Nietupski brings together a variety of styles, sounds and artistic personalities on the album.

The word “assemblage” in the title refers to the process of creating a coherent whole from diverse elements, while “cinematic idioms” highlights the narrative and evocative nature of the music, which unfolds like a soundtrack to a film that does not exist. The album features six elaborate compositions with a total running time of nearly 50 minutes. Based on lyrics by poet Izabela Turska-Kamrowska, the songs explore everyday doubts and emotions, feelings of separation and alienation, as well as the search for faith and joy in everyday life.

The album’s instrumental foundation is co-created by guitarist Michał Grall of Unblessed Divine, formerly of Sinister, and bassist Artur Ołkowicz, known from Mechanism and Art of Illusion. Brian Gawaski’s powerful vocals also play an essential role in defining the character of the material. The album features numerous guest artists, including Bartłomiej Krysiuk of Patriarkh, Marc Grewe of Morgoth, Snorre Ruch of Thorns, Yusaf Parvez of DHG/Dødheimsgard, Sławomir Maryniewski of Armagedon, Mariusz Domaradzki of Yattering and Ryszard Kramarski of Millenium, as well as Lecia Louise, Sasha Janowicz, Joanna Zondłowska, Łukasz Kowalski, Tomasz Andrzejewski and Robert Kołakowski.

The album was mixed and mastered by Jakub Mańkowski, whose credits include collaborations with Behemoth, Czesław Mozil, Justyna Steczkowska, Me and That Man and Blindead. The JASMENO logo was designed by Christophe Szpajdel, known for his work with Emperor, Aborted and Lorna Shore. Project founder Sławomir Nietupski was responsible for the graphic design, album layout and hand-painted watercolour illustrations, while the band’s photo shoot was created by Agnieszka Stawrosiejko from Colleen Cummings.

“Assemblage of Cinematic Idioms” will be released on September 11, 2026, via Tangled Records. The album will be available as a standard jewel case CD with a 16-page booklet, a CD artbook edition with a 28-page booklet, a transparent gatefold vinyl edition with an 8-page insert, a cassette and a digital release. Pre-orders open today at noon via email at jasmenoofficial@gmail.com.

Sławomir Nietupski comments:

“It is a musical assemblage in its purest form: built from diverse fragments and personalities, yet brought together under a single artistic vision. Much like Hasior’s work, it is not about easily accessible beauty, but about the intensity of the experience and the creation of a unique, multilayered universe. The entire work was created without the use of artificial intelligence.“

On September 1, JASMENO premiered the official music video for “His Rebirth”, featuring a guest appearance by Bartłomiej Krysiuk of Patriarkh. The video was created by Łukasz Unterscheutz and Piotr Pędziszewski.

Wanikiya Record/Promotion is proud to announce a new important international collaboration with legendary Australian vocalist DAVE EVANS and Savant Guarde Records for the upcoming release of Dave Evans’ new studio album, “Justice”.

This collaboration brings together one of the historic figures of Australian Rock with a new promotional partnership dedicated to the international promotion of his upcoming release.

Dave Evans is a fundamental figure in the history of Australian and international Rock. Co-founder and original vocalist of AC/DC, Evans has been part of Rock history for decades, from his early years with AC/DC and his subsequent work with legendary Australian band Rabbit, to his extensive solo career.

In 2026, Dave Evans returns with “Justice”, a brand-new studio album featuring ten Rock & Roll anthems packed with energy, riffs, melodies and Evans’ unmistakable attitude.

“Justice” also represents the final chapter of a trilogy, following Sinner and Judgement Day, bringing a musical journey spanning more than two decades to its conclusion.

“Justice” also marks Dave Evans’ second release with Savant Guarde Records, following “Defenders of Rock”, released in 2025 with Rabbit to celebrate 50 years of the legendary Australian band’s music.

The new album therefore continues the relationship between Dave Evans and Savant Guarde Records, further developing a collaboration that now moves into a new chapter of Evans’ solo career.

Once again, Dave Evans is joined by guitarist Mark Tinson, continuing an artistic partnership that has already produced important chapters of Evans’ solo career.

The album also features several musicians connected to Australian Rock history, including Scott Johnston, Dai Pritchard and Justin Ngariki, all formerly of Rose Tattoo, as well as Laurie Marlowe, bassist of Australian Heavy Metal icons HEAVEN, alongside several other special guests.

The first single from the album, “Mean Machine”, has already offered listeners the first taste of what “Justice” has to offer.

The album will be released by Savant Guarde Records, which will remain the official label for the project.

At the same time, Dave Evans officially joins the Wanikiya Record/Promotion roster, with Wanikiya handling the international press office and promotional campaign for “Justice”.

The collaboration between Dave Evans, Savant Guarde Records and Wanikiya Record/Promotion will bring “Justice” to radio stations, magazines, webzines and specialized Rock and Metal media worldwide.

With “Justice”, Dave Evans closes a trilogy, continues his collaboration with Savant Guarde Records and opens a new chapter in his remarkable musical journey.

More news and promotional updates coming soon.

SECRET RULE Unveil First Single & Video ‘Edge Of Control’ from Eleventh Studio Album + Announce EU Tour Dates w/ Xandria, Seven Spires

Italian modern metal band Secret Rule opens a new chapter with “Edge of Control”, the first single taken from their upcoming eleventh studio album. Due out today, September 1st, 2026, via Rockshots Records, the single is now available across all major digital platforms.

Built around heavy guitars, hard-hitting rhythmic shifts and crushing breakdowns, “Edge of Control” combines electronic textures and cinematic layers with the melodic and emotionally charged identity that has shaped Secret Rule’s sound. The result introduces a heavier, sharper and more contemporary direction while remaining unmistakably rooted in the band’s musical character.

At the centre of the track is Angela Di Vincenzo’s emotionally charged vocal performance, moving from tense and volatile verses towards an explosive chorus. Male vocal passages, layered backing vocals and a powerful rhythmic foundation intensify the sense of instability running throughout the song.

Lyrically, “Edge of Control” places the listener inside a mind approaching its breaking point. Rage, doubt, sleeplessness, and inner conflict take the form of a live grenade, a train running off the rails, a wildfire, and a hurricane spinning within its own pain. Rather than observing the loss of control from a distance, the song captures it from within, at the moment when thoughts become impossible to silence, and the hardest enemy to confront is yourself.

The single offers the first glimpse into the musical direction of Secret Rule’s upcoming album, expanding the role of modern breakdowns, electronic elements, cinematic arrangements, and contrasting vocal layers within the band’s established combination of modern metal and powerful melodies.

Listen to “Edge of Control” – https://lnk.to/4F9zG0

Andy Menario – Guitars, Composition and Arrangements:

“I wanted the song to feel modern, direct, and unpredictable while still sounding unmistakably like Secret Rule. The arrangement combines heavy riffs and breakdowns with electronic elements and cinematic layers, while the male vocal passages create an additional point of tension within the track. I believe that ‘Edge of Control’ is the song that best represents the direction of this new record.”

The band will play live on stage from 5th October to 23rd October all around Europe, supporting Xandria and Seven Spires. Here is the complete schedule:

05.10 – Cluj-Napoca, Romania – FORM Space
06.10 – Bucharest, Romania – Quantic Club

WOLIERA Premiere New Video for Upcoming Debut Album Title Track “Bagienny Stan”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 4, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

WOLIERA is a family band founded in 2021 by Krzysztof Sokołowski from legendary HC band 1125 and Mariusz Wróbel (Blow For Blow). Rooted in melodic death and doom metal, the group draws its primary inspiration from the Scandinavian metal scene. 

The debut album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Tom Bishop at Nest Studio in Katowice (Ballkick, Czesław Mozil, Tuff Enuff). The band photo session was carried out by Bartłomiej Czajkowski, who also created the album artwork. The release layout was designed by Kuba Szajer. The album will be released on September 30, 2026, in digital format and on CD via the Polish underground label BRR.

Today, the official music video for the title track “Bagienny Stan” premieres on the Forever Misanthropia YouTube channel. Filmed at Leman Mountain in Piaszno, the video was produced by Tomek Kuźma and Paweł Raubo of EternalFire.Art.

However, the story of the band began much earlier. A shared passion for music gradually passed on to the next generation. From an early age, Maciej Wróbel tried to imitate drummers, using stools, chairs, and anything else that could serve as a substitute for a drum kit. As soon as he was able to reach the pedals of a real drum set, he began taking regular drum lessons. Marcin Sokołowski, on the other hand, chose the microphone, with a tennis racket serving as his first “instrument.”

The pandemic became the catalyst for making music together. Marcin Sokołowski (7) took on the role of vocalist, Maciej Wróbel (10) sat behind the drums, while Krzysztof and Mariusz picked up their guitars. Initially, the family lineup performed songs by Paradise Lost, Anathema, and Insomnium, giving intimate concerts in a home basement. Soon, bassist Tymoteusz Wróbel (17) joined the group, followed by Aleksandra (the vocalist’s mother), who enriched the band’s sound with keyboards. The band’s first concert (still without a name at the time) took place in 2022 during a private charity event. Since then, WOLIERA has performed in clubs and at festivals, sharing the stage with acts such as Turbo, Betrayer, Czerń, Hamulec, Schizma, and New York hardcore legends Madball.

One of WOLIERA‘s most distinctive features is its lineup, bringing together two generations of musicians from two close-knit families. Krzysztof Sokołowski and Mariusz Wróbel invited their children to join them, transforming casual family jam sessions into a fully-fledged band. However, WOLIERA is far more than a family project. The band focuses on heavy, melancholic compositions, melodic guitar harmonies, and an atmosphere deeply rooted in death and doom metal.

TRACKLIST:
01. Intro
02. Błoto obcych ust
03. Ukryte rany
04. Zatrute umysły
05. Bagienny stan
06. Grudy
07. Otępiałych świat
08. Woliera
09. Outro

LINE-UP:
Marcin Sokołowski – vocal
Maciej Wróbel – drums
Aleksandra Sokołowska – keyboard
Tymoteusz Wróbel – bass
Krzysztof Sokołowski – guitars
Mariusz Wróbel – guitars

TROLLDOM Present New Album “Tronen” Details & Reveal First Song ‘Etter Falla…’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 4, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Swedish Black Metal band TROLLDOM was founded 2004 in the deep woods of Småland by guitarist/composer Swartadauþuz (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ, MUVITIUM, AZELISASSATH, GREVE). Four years after simultaneous twin debut albums “Av gudars ätt…” and “I nattens sken (Genom hemligheternas dunkel)“, we can now announce an incoming third opus of deeply reverent second-wave Black Metal power.

“Tronen” features six tracks of addictive and darkly melodic Swedish Black Metal excellence, honouring the glory days between 1995 and 1998 when so many classics were released.

Tracklist:

01. Tidens Evighet
02. Dräpt ur Dunkel
03. I Völvans Spår
04. Etter Falla…
05. Ulvarnas Kall
06. Dödens Släktled Stiga

“Tronen” was composed October 2023 and recorded 2023-2024 by Swartadauþuz (guitars and keyboards) with the following session members:

Thorn – vocals
Graf Nuzawandils (MARTRÖÐ) – keyboards
Sortilege – bass
K. Paradis (BELPHEGOR) – drums

All music was written by Swartadauþuz, while Lik (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ) penned the lyrics. The album was mixed and mastered in early 2025 by S.D.S. (AVERSIO HUMANITATIS) at The Empty Hall Studios.

The aptly mesmeric cover artwork was created by Greallach (PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS).

TROLLDOM now present ‘Etter Falla…‘ as the first and only preview track from the forthcoming storm: a perfect synthesis of melodic prowess and grim force via stirring progressions, anthemic leads, evocative vocals and majestic synth.

“Tronen” will be released on CD, vinyl (including an exclusive DMP edition) and digital on October 30th. Special merch – including a t-shirt, zip hoodie & patch – accompanies the release. Pre-orders are currently possible via DMP’s EU and US shops, and the album/merch will also be available at DMP’s Bandcamp shop from Bandcamp Friday, September 4th.

The classicistic Swedish Black Metal band TROLLDOM was founded in 2004 by guitarist, composer and Ancient Records/Mysticism Productions owner Swartadauþuz (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ, MUVITIUM, AZELISASSATH, GREVE, BALWEZO WESTIJIZ etc).

In 2016 Lik (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ) joined as the project’s lyricist to further-awaken and channel inner spiritual revelations. First demo, “Av gudablod röd…“, was given a limited release that same year by Greek label Arcane Angels.

After a sequence of delays, the band’s twin debut albums “I Nattens Sken (Genom Hemligheternas Dunkel)” and “Av Gudars Ätt…“, arrived simultaneously in 2022 via Iron Bonehead Productions. Deep expressions of ’90s second-wave Black Metal veneration, both records found TROLLDOM evolving the form: tapping into the otherworldly sense of melancholy typical of Swartadauþuz, propelled by a storming drum session from the esteemed K. Paradis (BELPHEGOR, MELECHESH).

Upcoming third album “Tronen” was written and recorded between 2023-2024, receiving a mix and master from Simón Da Silva (CANCER, MARTRÖÐ, SELBST) at the Empty Hall Studio in early 2025. Again, featuring drums by K. Paradis, “Tronen” continues TROLLDOM‘s quest to break the spirit from false bounds of material existence via symphonic and reverent Black Metal power. The cover artwork was painted by Greallach based on ideas by the band, and depicts rebirth through the gateway of death.

“Tronen” will be released by Debemur Morti Productions in late 2026.

TERAMAZE Release Brand New Single & Music Video ‘Palisades’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 4, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Australian progressive metal innovators Teramaze return with a bold new chapter, unveiling their brand-new single and music video, “Palisades.”

With “Palisades,” Teramaze venture into territory they’ve flirted with before but never fully explored — fusing their signature progressive metal sound with the shimmering, atmospheric world of ’80s synthwave.

The song also marks a significant first for the band, being the first composition created with new keyboard player Luke Rosten.

Luke originally brought Dean Wells a synthwave-inspired progression, unsure whether it would fit the Teramaze sound. Dean’s response was simple: “Leave it with me.”

From there, the idea evolved into something entirely unexpected.

Dean began building around Luke’s original progression, combining its nostalgic ’80s synth textures with the melodic intensity, progressive arrangements and heavier edge that Teramaze are known for. The result is a fresh hybrid that feels distinctly Teramaze while pushing the band into new sonic territory.

“We’ve wanted to do something like this in the past, but never quite found the right way into it,” says Dean Wells. “Luke brought this really cool synthwave idea to me, and once I started working on it, everything just clicked. The combination of those ’80s sounds with what we do naturally created something that felt new and exciting.”

“Palisades” is more than just another Teramaze single — it signals another evolution in a band that has never been afraid to push beyond the boundaries of progressive metal.

“Palisades” is out now, accompanied by an official music video.
