Death Reapers is a band founded in 2019, currently based in Poznań, Poland, represents a fresh take on Melodic Death Metal! Their lyrics explore themes such as breaking free from routine and loneliness. Death Reapers bring boundless energy to the stage, now more than ever! Their performances and dynamic stage presence energize the audience. The band aims to expand their fanbase worldwide as they continue to grow beyond Poland.

Having played numerous concerts, they are just gaining momentum, attracting an ever-growing following on the Polish metal scene. They gained significant attention after releasing their second EP, “The New Beginning,” which received rave reviews and captured the interest of metal fans and critics alike. Their recognition grew internationally after being featured in Metalsucks magazine.

Death Reapers are more than just music – they represent a way of life. Stay with them, as their time is now!

Death Reapers don’t slow down – “Enemy” is coming!

After the rebellious “Wear Your Leather Proud,” the energetic “Thirst For Chaos”, and the melancholic “The Hermit”, Death Reapers return with another blow straight between the eyes – their new single “Enemy”, a powerful dose of aggression and strength!

“Enemy” is the heaviest and most uncompromising track in the band’s catalog so far. Crushing riffs made for headbanging, relentless drumming, and vocals that cut like a knife – all of it makes this song an intense and unrelenting ride. It’s pure energy and rage condensed into a few explosive minutes.

The lyrics dive deep into a battle with one’s own shadow – the part of ourselves we struggle most to accept. “Enemy” is an inner war where the greatest adversary turns out to be… your own reflection. The brutal honesty of the lyrics meets raw, aggressive sound, creating a mix that won’t leave you indifferent.

Death Reapers prove that their debut album will be a rollercoaster of emotion and style – from melody and nostalgia to a ruthless metal onslaught. “Enemy” is a manifesto of strength and fury, but also a call to face yourself head-on.

“Enemy” is out now – are you ready for the confrontation?

This song is another foretaste of the debut album, which was recorded entirely by the band. The whole thing was mixed and mastered by Hubert Potomski – the band’s lead guitarist. Below you can watch the music video to the new song “Enemy“, which was filmed by Nascar Vision. New single is available for listening on all popular streaming platforms (here).

Upcoming debut album is scheduled to be released on June 13, 2025, pre-orders are available on the band’s website (here).

CRUCIBLE to Release Debut Album “Hail To The Force” in September

Emerging from the underground with blazing speed and ferocious intent, Danish speed metal warriors CRUCIBLE present their thunderous debut album, “Hail To The Force”. Across 37 relentless minutes, the band blends savage aggression with strong melodies and an epic heavy metal spirit, distilling a wide range of inspirations into a record that demands attention. Featuring the four original tracks from their first demo alongside six brand-new songs written during 2024, “Hail To The Force” captures a young band operating at maximum intensity.

Crucible’s current lineup took shape during 2024, with Ole Iversen joining on drums in the spring and Kenneth Frandsen stepping in on bass duties for the recording sessions and the band’s first live appearances in the fall. Without a fixed concept to start with, the goal was simple: write great songs. Guitarists Jon Brogård and Thomas Carnell (Impalers) each contributed roughly half of the material, drawing inspiration from the likes of Riot City, Racer X, Hellripper, Vampire, and even movie soundtracks like Blade Runner. The result is an album rich in variety, featuring sword-and-sorcery-infused speed metal anthems alongside raw, Motörhead-style bangers dealing with war and nuclear devastation.

Recording began in December 2024 with DI tracking for rhythm guitars and bass at Thomas’ apartment, before Crucible entered Angioni Studios on Mors in early January 2025 – just before a massive snowstorm hit. With only one week to bring the album to life, guitars and bass were re-amped, Ole hammered down drums over three whirlwind days (with no samples used), and vocals (by Phillip Butler, from Pectora) and lead guitars were captured at a furious pace. Produced by Marco Angioni (Tygers Of Pan Tang, Steel Inferno, Meridian), “Hail To The Force” delivers a sound that is real, raw, and exhilarating: blazing riffs, epic and evil vocals, and thunderous, organic drums.

Among the album’s standout tracks are “Deathdealer,” a blistering high-speed assault inspired by Frank Frazetta’s iconic artwork; “Redwing,” a heavy-hitting riff monster named after Cold War thermonuclear tests; and “Far Beyond The Grave,” an atmospheric, US power metal-tinged journey that builds from a brooding tempo to soaring, harmonized lead guitar glory.
“Hail To The Force” is more than a debut – it’s a battle cry. Fast, loud, and true.

Are you ready to Hail the Force?

“Hail To The Force” will be released on LP (black vinyl and purple vinyl, aeach limited to 150 copies), digipack CD and digital on 12.09.2025, via From The Vaults.

The first digital single taken from the album, titled “Deathdealer“, is now available on all streaming services.
