 BAALZAGOTH, via BANDCAMP, are streaming  the bands anticipated new release "MORBID PERSECUTIONS", unleashed 4/15/2022 via MARA PRODUCTIONS. 

 

 

 

 

FROM SOLID ROCK PR: 

 

BAALZAGOTH strikes without mercy - first blow from the new album.
BAALZAGOTH returns with the most ruthless release of their career - "No God, No Savior" which is a manifesto of extremity, chaos, and total negation.
Blackened death metal in its purest crushing form.
FFO: Morbid Angel, Incantation, Immolation, Deicide
-
BAALZAGOTH, a band from Polish town Kostrzyn nad Odrą, makes it clear from the very first notes: there is no room for compromise, salvation, or mercy. Embracing the aesthetics of blackened death metal, the band delivers music that is brutal, direct, and consciously aimed at religious dogma. Their sound is a sonic execution - heavy, dense, and permeated with a darkness that not only accompanies but overwhelms.
Baalzagoth draws from the hellish legacy of the death metal scene—you can hear echoes of the merciless power of Morbid Angel, the suffocating chaos of Incantation, the ritualistic severity of Immolation, and the extreme intensity of Hate Eternal. However, this is neither a copy nor a nostalgic homage - the band takes what is heaviest, most sinister, and most primal in death metal, then ramps up the brutality to the breaking point.
Since its inception, Baalzagoth has consistently forged its own identity: anti-religious, dark, and ruthless. Their compositions are tightly constructed, precisely constructed—massive riffs, a crushing rhythm section, and a tempo that leaves no room for breath. This is music that attacks head-on, without embellishment, without flirting with lightness - pure, primal power.
The culmination of this journey is the album "No God, No Savior" - the band's most polished, ruthless, and mature release. It's intense and conceptually coherent material, consciously evolving their existing sound toward even greater extremes and expressiveness.
All music was written and arranged by the band, except “Auto da fé” which was composed, performed and recorded by Michał “Joda” Sobczyński. Ika Klimaszewska (soprano vocals & vocal samples) appears as a guest on the tracks: “Satan”, “Excommunicatus ab humanitate”, “Auto da fé” and “Gloria Apostasiae”. Drums were recorded at Sound of Records Studio by Mikołaj Kiciak (Blindead 23, Leash Eye), guitars at Tetra Wave Studio by Krzysztof Kostencki (Morrath, Sothoris), and the material was subsequently recorded, edited, mixed, and mastered at Heinrich House Studio by Filip Hałucha (Azarath, Behemoth, Hate). The album cover artwork was conceived by Oktavius, with artwork and layout created by Ksenia Kot, based on a photograph by Maciej Pieloch. Band photography was done by Maciej Pieloch (Batushka, Hate).
The band comments on the upcoming release: "No God, No Savior is not just an album—it's a manifesto of extremes. A sonic declaration of the rejection of the idea of salvation, an affirmation of chaos, and the triumph of darkness over the illusion of meaning. Baalzagoth doesn't attempt to reinvent death metal. We remind you what this genre truly is: aggression, negation, and the unbridled violence of sound. No compromise. No god. No salvation."
New studio album "No God, No Savior" will be released on June 6, 2026 in digital format and on CD via the Polish underground label Putrid Cult (https://www.putridcult.pl/baalzagoth-no-god-no-savior-cd...). Below you can stream lyric video for the single "No God, No Savior".

ITP V.026 ONLY ONE PER COFFIN: R.I.P. CJ HERNA (FORMER VOCALIST NOVEMBERS DOOM)

 No photo description available.

 

 

 CJ HERNA , former vocalist of Chicago, Illinois doom metal warriors NOVEMBERS DOOM passed away 11/18/2024, no cause of death has been given. 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM NOVEMBERS DOOM: 

 

Time passes by, we get busy, life throws obstacles and challenges, and our focus shifts. We forget to check in with friends, and months can pass. Months turn into years, and then you find news that hits with instant regret.
We collectively as Novembers Doom recently learned that original member CJ Hejna has passed away.
When Steve Nicholson and I started this band in the late ‘80s, I went to a local opera performance with a high school friend to watch his girlfriend perform. That was the first night I met CJ, and her voice stunned me.
After her performance I pulled her aside and said, “I have an idea, and it involves REALLY heavy metal and that opera style voice!” She wasn’t quite sure what to think, but a squinty-eyed, half-smile grin got me a response of “Sounds like chaos! I’m in!” And just like that, we had a beauty to my beast.
CJ’s talent graced us on Amid Its Hallowed Mirth, “Of Sculptured Ivy and Stone Flowers,” as well as the 3-song EP For Every Leaf That Falls, and our tribute to Ozzy, “Revelation (Mother Earth).”
She stepped away for personal reasons during the years that followed, and when she was ready to return, we would talk.
Talk we did. A lesser known fact — CJ’s return was to be on the album The Pale Haunt Departure. Sadly, those demons returned, and her personal well-being meant more.
As time went on, we kept in touch. I would visit her from time to time, and one day, as no one ever expects, was the last time I saw or spoke to her.
Years have passed once again — sadly many more this time — and now we’ve learned she’s no longer with us.
CJ holds a very special place in my heart. She believed in my crazy idea, and not only embraced it, but encouraged it. She had amazing ideas, a brilliant mind, and an aura that lit up a room when she entered it. Maybe it was that fire red hair, or the free-spirited, barefoot charm. We all loved her in our own ways.
Cathy Jo, I know this is late, but goodnight my muse. I’m so sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye. 💔
Paul
Novembers Doom

The highly successful resurrection of 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐍T sees them hurtling through Australia for the very first time with a special performance of their much revered and critically acclaimed album ‘𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬’.
In 1998, Norway’s 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐓 (known back then as Covenant) released ‘𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬’, a landmark symphonic black metal album that defied genre conventions and successfully combined extreme metal elements with its cosmic themes, polished production, and melodic, neo-classical guitar work. Every song sounded like a new masterpiece, never treading over the same path all the while pushing a new threshold in every aspect. ‘𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬’ is widely regarded as a groundbreaking release, one of the classic, essential symphonic black metal albums of all time, and these two exclusive Australian shows should not be missed by anyone!
