OVATE: STREAMING NEW RELEASE "RUIN" VIA SPOTIFY

May be an illustration

Bergen, Norway based black metal warriors OVATE, via SPOTIFY, are streaming the bands anticipated new release "RUIN", unleashed 11/6/2026 via SOULSELLER RECORDS.

FROM OVATE:

 OUT NOW: OVÁTE - RÚIN CD/LP

Rúin is here. Not to be understood, but to be endured, an arcane, insidiously pernicious incursion beyond the veil.

A defining hallmark of Ováte’s sound remains intact: once again, every track is a collaboration with a different guest vocalist, turning the album into a shifting procession of voices and maledictions. Each performance adds a new layer to the record’s blackened craft, while the core duo keeps the blade steady. Sharp riffs, ritualistic momentum, and a trance-like pull that feels both predatory and strangely ceremonial.

On Rúin, Ováte list an exceptional cast from the Norwegian and wider extreme metal underground. The result is a record that moves with relentless intent, yet rich in atmosphere, with each track carrying its own curse.

Ováte are:
Aindiachaí - guitars, bass
Brodd - drums

Tracklist:
Kutsumus (feat. Spellgoth / Horna)
Risset testament (feat. H' grimmr / Helheim)
Omveltning (feat. Thomas S. Øvstedal / Cor Scorpii)
Livsblot (feat. Sanrabb / Gehenna / Ødemark / The Last Eon)
El clam del foc (feat. Ødemark / The Last Eon) 
Slangen (feat. Hoest / Taake)

Chris Boltendahl comments:

“The time has finally come: With our new album Faces of Pain, we are opening the next furious chapter. This record is filled with an incredible amount of heart, sweat and pure passion.

Faces of Pain shows us at our most diverse in a long time. Grave Digger consistently follow their very own style – a style we have shaped ourselves over the years. The remarkable thing is that we never copy ourselves for a single second, yet every song and every note unmistakably carries the band’s typical, mighty sound. Get ready for a true metal monster!”

BTW, we're straight edge, and we don't like drug addicts. All sources are attributed, there are NO illegal downloads here. Please support music and not rumors. ITP recommends that readers are 18 and up, we are not responsible for raising your kids.

SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?. BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond. A couple of issues I would like to address: ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you. ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like. It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful. ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox. I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. . ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal.. There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist. A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues. Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right. ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal. ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label. BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances. Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/ -l- ***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality. If you subscribe to ITP don't forget to come straight to this blog for updates, videos, REVIEWS, pics for ITP's multimedia extreme metal experience. To enjoy ITP, you MUST have a BANDCAMP, YOU TUBE or/and SPOTIFY account to headbang. BTW, I almost forgot to mention, ITP is visible via BLOGSPOT, target FACEBOOK. So add ITP is under said bloggers given name on FACEBOOK. Not all ITP V.018 posts show up on the main feed nor get passed my timeline (isn't that the truth on FB, only 15% of posts end up in the main feed passed your timeline).
