PATRIARCHS IN BLACK to Release New Studio Album “Home” on August 15th

PATRIARCHS IN BLACK will release the new studio album ‘Home’ on 15 August on Metalville.

Former Type O Negative/Danzig drummer Johnny Kelly and guitarist and riff writer Dan Lorenzo (Hades/Non-Fiction) founded PATRIARCHS IN BLACK at the end of 2021. Their debut single ‘Demon of Regret’ was released in January 2022 and the full album ‘Reach For The Scars’ was released in July 2022. Their second album ‘My Veneration’ was released in October 2023, followed by ‘Visioning’ in July 2024.

As with their previous releases, Dan and Johnny managed to secure some outstanding artists as guest musicians for their 4th longplayer ‘Home’.

Dan Lorenzo says about “Home”: “Did you ever see the movie Groundhog Day? Bill Murray is forced to live the same dayover-and-over. How boring, right? I love pizza, but I don’t want to eat it every meal. With our new album you will find our “usual” doomy riffs, but we also took some chances. There’s acoustic guitars, violin, flute and of course lots of heavy riffs. Diversity. It keeps things interesting. 

I picked the title “Home” because as much as I love to travel, it’s always nice to come home. Johnny’s mom died last year. Some would say the Lord took her Home. Johnny and I recorded 17 new songs, but we couldn’t fit them all on this album. We are honored that some of the best vocalists and bassists worked with us to lend their talents. We hope you love PATRIARCHS IN BLACK “Home”.”

HARRI LARKIN Release New EP “Slowburn” on May 20th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 17, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: HARRI LARKIN. Leave a comment

Sheffield-based singer-songwriter Harri Larkin is proud to announce the release of their brand new EP ‘Slowburn’, arriving May 20 via Golden Robot Records.

Pre-save ‘Slowburn‘ here: https://orcd.co/harri-larkin-slowburn

Blending elements of indie, funk, jazz, and grunge, Slowburn is a genre-defying collection that captures the emotional intensity and evolving artistry of Harri Larkin. Known for her heartfelt lyricism, soaring vocal melodies, and an undeniably infectious sound, Harri delivers an EP that is both introspective and anthemic – burning slowly but leaving a lasting mark.

The new EP follows the powerful single ‘Too Close to the Sun‘, a song written in tribute to a close friend lost to an accidental overdose. The single set the emotional tone for ‘Slowburn‘, an honest and cathartic body of work that explores grief, healing, and the quiet power of vulnerability.

Harri Larkin first made waves with debut album ‘Beach City’ that caught the attention of BBC Introducing, who broadcast it in full. In 2023, Harri was named the winner of the national Tramlines “Apply to Play” competition, landing performances at major UK festivals and earning national radio play along the way.

Harri continues to push creative boundaries with ‘Slowburn’ – a record that embraces nuance, celebrates growth, and invites listeners into a deeply personal world.

Abi Middleton – Backing vocals
Tom Wylie – Guitar

ABERTOOTH LINCOLN to Release Searing New Single ‘Nerve Parts’ on May 23rd

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ABERTOOTH LINCOLN. Leave a comment

Abertooth Lincoln return with a searing new single, ‘Nerve Parts’, releasing May 23 via Golden Robot Records.

‘Nerve Parts’ is a visceral outcry against the overwhelming chaos of the modern world. Blending progressive punk with theatrical intensity, the track channels the anxiety and helplessness that arise from witnessing societal decay and global crises. But beneath the surface fury lies a pointed critique of the systematic dismantling of rights – especially those of women and marginalized communities – through the calculated stacking of courts, the legacy of Trump-appointed judges, and the cynical twisting of the Constitution to prop up outdated ideologies.

Abertooth Lincoln’s signature fusion of complex rhythms and aggressive energy underscores the song’s themes of frustration and the desperate desire for change. ‘Nerve Parts’ stands as a cathartic anthem for those grappling not only with the weight of contemporary existence, but also with the erosion of justice disguised as tradition. 

Abertooth Lincoln, hailing from Dayton, Ohio, is an enigmatic force within the music scene. Their heavy, weird, and complex sound combines elements of progressive punk, hardcore, and glam metal, resulting in an explosive musical fusion. Led by the powerful and commanding vocals of front person Asche Pooler, the band’s live performances are a sight to behold.

‘Nerve Parts’ will be available on all major streaming platforms on May 23, 2025, via Golden Robot Records. Pre-order ‘Nerve Parts’ here: https://orcd.co/nerve-parts

Abertooth Lincoln:
James Lampe – Guitar
Asche Pooler – Vocals
David Watanabe – Keys
Mike Werthmann – Drums
Mike Patak – Bass

DEVS MORTVORVM Unveil ‘Orgy in the Graveyard’ Single from Upcoming EP

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 16, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: DEVS MORTVORVM. Leave a comment

Chilean death-doom cult DEVS MORTVORVM have unveiled the second taste of their upcoming EP with the brand new single “Orgy in the Graveyard”, now streaming exclusively via a premiere at Mystification Zine. Drenched in decay and driven by the band’s signature blend of cavernous doom and old-school death metal, this track sets the tone for what promises to be a truly morbid release. From its lumbering riffs to its sepulchral growls, “Orgy in the Graveyard” drags listeners deep into the crypt, offering a glimpse of the rotting majesty that awaits on June 6, 2025, when the full EP drops via Apocalyptic Productions.

Stream “Orgy in the Graveyard” HERE.

Formed in 2015 by David Briones (guitar) and Claudio Carrasco (vocals), DEVS MORTVORVM emerged with a clear mission: to play Graveyard Doom Death, inspired by legendary acts such as Goatlord, Derketa, early Cathedral and Autopsy. The band is now completed by Andrés Henríquez on drums and Felipe Vuletich on bass, bringing even more weight and rot to their already imposing sound.

This upcoming EP features five tracks—three original compositions, a crushing cover of “Acid Orgy” by U.S. cult legends Goatlord, and a raw live track that captures the band’s visceral stage presence. Every aspect of this release – lyrics, artwork, and music – is a unified expression of DEVS MORTVORVM’s devotion to the morbid spirit of doom-death and necrolatry.

Musically, the EP offers an enticing blend of shadow-drenched, vicious death-doom, where sludgy riffs clash and intertwine with serpentine melodies, creating a dynamic tension that keeps each track unpredictable and alive. It’s a masterclass in sonic decay, where every note drips with the dampness of the tomb.

Tracklist:

01. Orgy in the Graveyard
02. Love for the Dead
03. The Oldest Crypt
04. Acid Orgy (Goatlord cover)
05. Orgy in the Graveyard (live)

Recorded between july 2023 and september 2024 at Black Sheep Studios
All Music composed by David Briones except “Acid Orgy” by Goatlord.
Lyrics and vocal lines by Claudio Carrasco except “Acid Orgy” by Goatlord.
Live track recorded at MiBar 20/12/2024
Artwork by Julián Mora.

Line-up:

David Briones – Guitars
Claudio Carrasco – Vocals
Andrés Henríquez – Drums
Felipe Vuletich – Bass
