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.

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

Warahran bio:
Warahran is an Iranian extreme metal band formed in 2024. From dark melodies and shrieking screams to crushing breakdowns and fast paced riffs, their music is a black-metal-leaning mixture of many genres including death metal, thrash metal, progressive and many more. The war centered lyrics paint an image of battle scenes using sounds. Warahran is more than the sum of its members. “We are Warahran”.

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

NYC’s legendary hardcore pioneers AGNOSTIC FRONT have released the official video for “Sunday Matinee”, a nostalgic yet hard-hitting anthem from their brand-new album Echoes in Eternity, out today via Reigning Phoenix Music.

Frontman Roger Miret shares:

Basically, true social media at its finest!”

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 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:

Absent Glory
Conspiratio
Seed of Ancient Hate
To Reign In Captivity
Illuminate the Pain
Semblance of Reality
Overgone
The Dreariest One
Do Fim dos Dias
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

GENUS ORDINIS DEI Release New Single And Video ‘East Of Eden’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 9, 2025

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: GENUS ORDINIS DEI. Leave a comment

Italian symphonic death metal band Genus Ordinis Dei have released their brand-new single East of Eden, now available on all major streaming platforms.

The song serves as the opening act of the band’s upcoming concept album and opera, The Land East of Eden, which is set for release on January 16, 2026.

East of Eden marks the beginning of a new chapter in the band’s evolving narrative universe. The track portrays the first steps of Cain after his exile; desperate, alone, and cast away from both God and Blood, forced to walk into a land of shadows and forgotten spirits.

The single introduces the dramatic themes and cinematic soundscapes that define The Land East of Eden, which also features the legendary Roy Khan (Conception, ex-Kamelot).

Tommy, founder, producer and guitarist of the band, says about the new single: “Musically, East of Eden lays the emotional and sonic foundation of the album. Primal riffs, ritualistic drums, and a chorus melody that feels ancient and unforgettable. This track walks the line between epic storytelling and raw aggression, blending orchestral grandeur with the darker pulse of modern metal. It’s the gate opening, the fall echoing, the beginning of the exile.”

Nico, drummer, adds: “[…] there’s groove, violence, and moments of eerie tension… the heartbeat of a man who realizes exile is forever. This track marks the beginning of the fall, and I wanted the drums to make you feel every heavy step he takes into the unknown.”

Pre-orders for The Land East of Eden are now open on Bandcamp.

Exclusive editions of the album are available through the band’s official store, including limited collector’s versions.

Fans who pre-order will receive a special gift as a token of appreciation.

With The Land East of Eden, Genus Ordinis Dei continue to expand their unmistakable blend of symphonic grandeur, extreme metal intensity and narrative depth.

The forthcoming album promises to deliver a new chapter in the band’s ambitious mythological saga, The Divine Order.

JAN AKKERMAN Reveals Live Version of Focus Hit ‘Sylvia’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 9, 2025

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: JAN AKKERMAN. Leave a comment

Jan Akkerman has revealed a stunning live version of the Focus hit single Sylvia. The song is taken from his upcoming album My Focus – Live Under The Rainbow, which will be released on 12 December via Artone/Music Theories Recordings. Take a listen to the live version of Sylvia.

Sylvia was originally released by the Progressive Rock band Focus in 1972 and featured on their Dutch No.1 album Focus 3. The song followed a year later as a stunning version on the Focus live album At the Rainbow. Jan was a founding member of Focus from 1969 to 1976, where he recorded several breakout albums.

My Focus – Live Under The Rainbow was recorded across Jan’s 2025 February UK tour with his band Marijn van den Berg (Drums), David de Marez Oyens (Bass) and Coen Molenaar (Keys) as they played Bush Hall (London), The Fire Station (Sunderland), Philharmonic Hall (Liverpool), Oran Mor (Glasgow), The Met (Bury), The Stables (Wavendon), and The Apex (Bury St. Edmunds).

The album journeys through his timeless work with Focus, from the first song released from this collection, Answers Questions—Questions Answers, through to the mega-hit, Hocus Pocus, along with classic songs Focus I and Focus II—songs that are still close to his heart. “I play these songs because my soul and heart are in there. It’s a God given talent I have, which makes me feel proud of myself!” he says. The adventure winds through his distinguished solo career, up to 2019’s Close Beauty.

Jan Akkerman in a live setting is a beautiful thing to behold, and on his new record, My Focus – Live Under the Rainbow, you can absorb his technical mastery and tone, where it was born to live: on stage.

Live music needs to offer you something that you cannot get on a studio recording. It’s the sense of freedom and intimacy, wondering how the songs will be played and what the reaction will be. Live concerts give you the tingle where the hair stands up on the back of your neck. “Live audiences give you the tension and responsibility to be creative, for me, that’s the challenge I like,” says the iconic Dutch guitarist. After all of these years, you ponder what keeps Jan going out there, night after night. “It’s my love to play for people all around the world,” he smiles.

The supremely gifted guitarist is equalled by very few, and his legendary ability makes him impossible to pigeonhole. His position as Dutch royalty has been cemented; he received the Golden Harp Award in early 2005, Holland’s most prestigious music prize, and in 2012, he was appointed Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau. This royal honour recognised his contributions to Dutch music and his influence on musicians worldwide.

There is something about instrumental music that can connect with people worldwide. “A friend of mine made a remark in a song that says, ‘Words are made to lie!'” he ponders with a wry smile.

Put on My Focus – Live Under The Rainbow and soak up the atmosphere of one of the world’s most gifted guitarists.
