FROM SEASON OF MIST: 

 

The storm is here and it’s not asking for permission!

Mawiza just dropped the video for “Ngulutu”, the most fierce, combative beast on ÜL.

Born in the turbulent Pacific, crashing down in shattered clouds, this is a full-on declaration of war against concrete “progress” and urban decay. Groove metal meets the raw force of nature and they move as one.

Watch the video for Ngulutu on Season of Mist YouTube.

FROM GLORIA CAVELERA: 

 It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that Max and Gloria and the entire Cavalera family announce the passing of their beloved daughter, sister, and mother Christina. After an enduring battle with illness, she has found peace with her two sons, Adam and Moses, and her brother Dana. She is survived by her two daughters, six brothers, (Nick, Jonathan, Richie, Jason, Zyon and Igor) and her sister Roxanne. Forever will Christina be remembered as a pioneer in the metal, punk and rock music world, as she worked from the underground to stadiums and arenas around the globe, as well as a lifelong inspiration and forerunner for women in the music business. She had a smile that could brighten any room, a passion for life that was unmatched, and a ferocity of spirit that made her remarkable and memorable. Those who met her know this to be true. We will miss you until the end of days Christina. Please be respectful of our peace and privacy during this difficult time, and our journey forward without her.

Swedish Gothic Doom Entity Draconian Announces 8th Studio Album, In Somnolent Ruin, Out May 8!

New Album Marks the Return of Singer Lisa Johansson to the Band!

Pre-Order: http://lnk.to/Draconian-InSomnolentRuin

Johan Ericson on the new album:

“The first idea—the embryo, really—of In Somnolent Ruin goes back to 2021. It began with the song “Misanthrope River,” a title that had already existed since the demo days of Under a Godless Veil, now finally finding music to accompany it. As small pieces and fragments slowly started to grow into actual songs, it only made me more inspired to keep writing.

I drew a lot of inspiration from art and from other musical acts—everything from dark folk to eerie ambient music—which helped keep the creative spark alive. Early on, I had a clear sense of the overall vibe I wanted for the album: classic doom intertwined with ambient soundscapes. I also wanted a wide variety of songs across the record, but without losing that strong gothic thread that connects everything and gives it a shared atmosphere.”

Anders Jacobsson adds:

“It took quite some time before the album began to feel whole. We didn’t settle on the final track list until very late in the process, as each piece slowly came together—vocals finding their place, ideas overlapping, and a real sense of collaboration allowing the songs to evolve toward an imagined destination. In the end, the music always seems to transform into something that once felt almost unimaginable.

For me personally, it was a fascinating but challenging experience. I struggled at times to see how everything would ultimately come together, and there were moments of doubt throughout the process. But it did come together in the end, and all the uncertainty and self-reflection somehow proved worthwhile. The creative journey for me is always deeply tied to introspection, and this record demanded a great deal of that.

It was without question the most difficult album for me to fully grasp and work through—but perhaps that’s what makes the final result all the more compelling, and, I believe, quite remarkable. It’s been a long time coming…”

It was also fantastic to work with Lisa again, and to have Daniel Johansson bring a new dimension to the drums added another layer of depth to the entire process.”
