NAILED TO OBSCURITY have released a video for ‘Glass Beeding‘, the latest single from their fifth studio album, Generation Of The Void, which is out today via Nuclear Blast Records! In celebration of the album’s release day, an atmospheric music video is being released alongside the single. Scroll down to check it out.

Dynamic album opening track ‘Glass Bleeding‘ offers a preview of the stylistic variety that Nailed To Obscurity have perfected with Generation Of The Void, shifting with ease between hard-hitting death metal passages, ethereal clean parts and anthemic sing-alongs.

With Generation Of The Void, NAILED TO OBSCURITY have crafted their most mature and expansive album to date. The album reflects the turmoil of the post-pandemic era, the shadows of war in Europe, and the relentless changes affecting all of humanity. Beyond its political and social commentary, the album also dives deep into personal struggles, confronting themes of dark emotions, depression, and fear. Every note, every lyric carries the weight of uncertainty and disillusionment, while no one knows what one will find within the void or beyond.

NAILED TO OBSCURITY commented:
“We are beyond excited that our new album Generation Of The Void is finally out today. It feels amazing to share not only the singles you’ve already heard, but also all the other songs that complete the journey. We can’t wait for you to dive into the full record and discover everything we’ve been working on.

Alongside the album, we’re thrilled to unveil the brand-new video for ‘Glass Bleeding’. We chose this track to open the record because it perfectly introduces what’s to come – moving from mellow, moody atmospheres into crushingly heavy riffs and blast beats. It sets the tone for the entire album and paves the way for everything that follows.”

EVILCULT Release New Video for ‘Midnight Ritual’ from Upcoming Album

The ancient, demonic rites of South American metal are resurrected as EVILCULT prepares to unleash their third full-length album, Triumph of Evil, on September 19th via Awakening Records. Forged in the fires of chaos and blasphemy, this new offering is a merciless assault on Christian morality and a hell-forged tribute to the primitive, raw energy of ’80s underground metal.

Order the album here: https://awakeningrecordscn.bandcamp.com/album/triumph-of-evil

Since their formation in 2016, the Brazilian horde – composed of vocalist/guitarist Lucas From Hell, bassist Speed Lobo-Guará, drummer Filipe Stress, and guitarist Hell Bordini – has clawed its way to the forefront of the modern black-speed-thrash scene. Their previous blasphemous tomes, At the Darkest Night (2020) and The Devil is Always Looking for Souls (2023), established them as keepers of a sacred, unholy flame. On Triumph of Evil, they wield it like a burning crucifix, searing the very foundations of convention.

The album’s sound is a venomous amalgam of Teutonic thrash and first-wave black metal, heavily indebted to the savage legends who first dared to mix speed with satanic rage. Lucas From Hell’s vocals rip through the chaos with a feral aggression, shifting from guttural growls to the piercing, possessed shrieks. The raw, analog production ensures every riff, solo, and blast beat echoes with the primitive spirit of ’80s legends like Hellhammer, Sodom, and the ferocious Brazilian pioneers Sarcófago.

The concept of Triumph of Evil is a direct, blasphemous inversion of a common religious narrative. The album’s stunning, hand-painted artwork shows Satan not defeated, but victorious, humiliating the Archangel. This visual rebellion sets the stage for the title track and the album as a whole: a merciless celebration of evil and the subversion of all that is considered holy. This is not just metal worship; it’s a declaration of war.

The album’s lead single, “Midnight Ritual,” serves as a perfect introduction to this hellish journey. Penned as a “killer track” with a “catchy chorus,” it is a raw, blood-soaked anthem celebrating the fusion of heavy metal with unholy rituals. This song, and indeed the entire album, was a testament to the band’s dedication, with songs written and arranged remotely under immense pressure, just weeks before their upcoming European tour.

This isn’t an album for the faint of heart. It is a raw, uncompromising tribute to the true underground. Triumph of Evil is a sound forged in defiance and a testament to the enduring power of pure, unholy metal.

THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID Unveil Haunting Video for New Single ‘Sine Morbo’

THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID, the alchemical collaboration between vocalist Martina Horváth (Thy Catafalque) and composer/multi-instrumentalist Jason Köhnen (Celestial Season, Bong-Ra, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble), have released the second single from their upcoming third full-length album, “Transcendental”.

Following the first single, “The Summoning,” the band now unveils the brooding & intense track “Sine Morbo”, which is also accompanied by a brand-new music video. This powerful visual work deepens the band’s exploration of existential themes, carrying forward their atmospheric and emotionally charged journey towards the transcendental.

The band offers insight into the song’s meaning: “Sine Morbo [Latin / medical: ‘without disease’] reflects on how our society still tends to see an individual only as a physical form. Sine Morbo written on the paper, while the soul is ill. It is time to condition ourselves to treat the whole – mind, body, and spirit.“

Rooted in their shared passion for doom in all its forms, Horváth and Köhnen formed THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID to explore the genre’s emotional and existential depths. Their self-styled Transcendental Metal blends doom’s crushing gravity with elements of folk, ambient and electronica – casting a wide, atmospheric net that captures both sonic weight and spiritual introspection.

Lyrically, the band dives deep into the complexities of the human psyche. Themes of inner struggle, psychological transformation, and the hidden architecture of the soul permeate their songs, giving their music a haunting emotional resonance that moves beyond the typical boundaries of metal. The result is a sound that is both soul-crushing and soul-searching.

Following their critically praised debut, “Forlorn” (2021), and the equally compelling “Thou Shalt” (2023), with their new album THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID continue to explore the depths of the human psyche, captivating listeners far beyond the typical boundaries of metal.

Tracklist:

  1. Deniers
  2. Sine Morbo
  3. Love Is A Dog From Hell
  4. Senkim
  5. The Summoning
  6. Shattered By Wisdom
  7. Deconstructed
  8. Mists Of Krakatoa

“Transcendental” is set for release on September 26 via Lay Bare Recordings and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

SCYTHIKON Unleash Debut Single ‘Survivalist’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 10, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

From the shadows of Sweden’s northern wastelands rises SCYTHIKON — a sonic war machine forged in chaos, sharpened in fire, and fueled by primal instinct. Their debut single “Survivalist”, released via Faravid Recordings, is now available on all major streaming platforms: https://scythikon.ffm.to/survivalist 

With “Survivalist”, SCYTHIKON delivers its first strike — a bone-crushing anthem blending apocalyptic riffs, unrelenting aggression, and lyrics that spit in the face of a decaying civilization. It is both a warning and a motivation: a soundtrack for the ruthless who refuse to fall.
 
“Survivalist is all about motivation. Not just for us, but for everyone. It is hard and dark, just like the world appears from time to time,” comments SCYTHIKON’s frontman Pär Hulkoff. “It’s in the blood, motherfxcker.”

SCYTHIKON is the unfiltered vision of Pär Hulkoff (HULKOFF, Raubtier), whose long career in extreme metal carved the foundation for this new beast. During the lockdown years, Hulkoff joined forces with German drum berserker Wanja “Nechtan” Gröger and bassist J-son, giving life to material too raw and venomous to belong anywhere else.
 
The band’s name takes inspiration from the ancient Scythian death poison — a brutal mix of blood, venom, and filth. True to its name, Scythikon is not about history; it is about survival. The sound is merciless, the riffs venom-soaked, the vocals blood-drenched. This is music for a collapsing world — war hymns for those who sharpen blades in the dark and live by their own law.
 
Tracked through Hulkoff’s vintage 1993 Marshall stack and mixed by Fredrik Folkare (Unleashed), Scythikon is nothing less than an uncompromising sonic assault.
 
Born from the blood trail of a wounded world, SCYTHIKON stands as a testament to raw aggression and survival instinct. With warlike riffs, apocalyptic vision, and sheer force, this trio delivers extreme metal for the hopeless generation — a merciless soundtrack to the end times.
 
The collapse is coming. Scythikon has written the soundtrack.

Line-up:
Vox/Guitar: Pär Hulkoff
Bass: J-son
Drums: Wanja “Nechtan” Gröger
