The most dense, dark and disturbing Death Metal force from Finland, DESECRESY, rises once again from the depths to seal a new chapter in their alliance with Xtreem Music. Their 9th album, "The Secret of Death", will be unleashed on May 21st through Xtreem Music on CD, 12"LP, cassette and digital formats.

A new descent into oppressive and mortuary realms where the band reaffirms their monolithic, cavernous and utterly suffocating sound.

DESECRESY is the singular vision of Tommi Grönqvist, who has consistently handled all songwriting and instrumentation since the band’s inception. From the fifth album onwards, he also took over vocal duties, pushing the sound into even deeper, more guttural territory. The band’s style remains unmistakable: dark, putrid, mysterious and hypnotic Death Metal infused with Doom-laden atmospheres, evoking the spirit of acts such as BOLT THROWER, INCANTATION, RIPPIKOULU, MYTHIC, ABHORRENCE (Fin) and ROTTREVORE.

With a clear artistic direction and a wealth of material from the very beginning, DESECRESY swiftly entered the studio to record its debut full-length, “Arches of Entropy”, completed in the summer of 2010. The album was immediately sent to Xtreem Music, marking the start of a long-standing collaboration through which DESECRESY has firmly established itself within the lineage of Finnish Death Metal.

A steady stream of albums followed under the same label: “The Doom Skeptron” (2012), “Chasmic Transcendence” (2014), “Stoic Death” (2015), “The Mortal Horizon” (2017), “Towards Nebulae” (2019), “Unveil in the Abyss” (2022) and “Deserted Realms” (2023).

“The Secret of Death” stands as DESECRESY’s ninth full-length release and the fifth crafted entirely by Tommi alone. The album continues the band’s relentless descent into oppressive sonic realms, blending early 90s-inspired brutality with an atmosphere drawn from the darkest layers of the psyche.

DESECRESY represents a fully self-contained entity: music, production and artwork all originate from a single mind. The result is a monolithic and immersive sound rooted in Finnish Death Metal, enriched with Doom influences, deep subterranean vocals, churning riffs and haunting lead guitars, often shifting through unconventional structures and tempos.

Tracklist for "The Secret of Death":

01. Gorge of the Dead

02. It Appears in a Dream

03. By the Slowing Vortex of Time

04. Crypthymn

05. Ancient Timbre of Demise

06. Rotting Ghouls

07. Summoned With Necrolunar Telepathy

08. Vanishing Existence

Release date for "The Secret of Death" will be May 21st through Xtreem Music on CD, 12"LP, Cassette & Digital formats.

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".

Swedish Death Metal force REVOLTING strike back with full intensity, unleashing the first advance single along with the complete tracklist and cover artwork of their tenth studio album, “Supernatural Anthems”. A first taste that makes it clear their machinery is still running at full power, with no intention of slowing down.

The album is set for release on June 4th through Xtreem Music on CD and digital formats, and is shaping up to be another relentless dose of filthy, razor-sharp, and infectious Death Metal. No compromises, no frills, no mercy — REVOLTING return to spread the rot once again..

Swedish Death Metal purveyors REVOLTING return stronger than ever with their tenth studio album, “Supernatural Anthems”, once again through Xtreem Music. Since emerging in 2007 under the vision of Revolting Rogga, the band has built a relentless discography rooted in the classic Swedish sound, delivering a steady stream of filthy, catchy, and uncompromising releases that have earned them a solid reputation within the underground scene.

With a career spanning over a decade and a half, and a string of acclaimed albums across labels like FDA Rekotz and Transcending Obscurity, REVOLTING have proven time and again their ability to blend raw aggression with memorable hooks. Their previous works, including “Born to Be Dead” (2022) and their 2024 follow-up "Night of the Horrid", reinforced their position as one of the most consistent acts in modern old-school Death Metal.

Now, with “Supernatural Anthems”, the band delivers another crushing dose of rotten riffs, relentless grooves, and infectious darkness. A new chapter of pure, unapologetic Death Metal that keeps the filth alive and kicking.

Tracklist for "Supernatural Anthems" is as follows:

1. Supernatural Anthem

2. At Dusk They Rise

3. Upon the Chopping Block

4. Undead Wife, Happy Life

5. Those Who Never Lived

6. The Dead are Craving

7. Dungeon Overture

8. A Midnight Massacre

9. The End so Near

Release date for "Night of the Horrid" will be June 4th, 2026 through Xtreem Music on CD & Digital formats.
