FROM FDA RECORDS:
OPHIS: The Soundtrack to the Apocalypse
All Information about the new album
Hamburg-based OPHIS return five years after their magnificent album “Spew Forth Odium” with their sixth studio album. The new record was recorded in spring 2026 at 3RD A. Studio in Holm and produced, mixed and mastered by Jens Ballaschke. The cover artwork was created by drummer Ole Fink himself.
You often read statements like: “With this album, they have surpassed everything they have done before.” And quite often, there isn't much truth to that. BUT with their new album, “Encased In Deathlike Layers”, this four-piece Doom institution has actually managed to take things to another level.
Six new songs, clocking in at almost one hour, musically capturing all the misery, suffering and helplessness, but also the power and strength of this world in absolutely perfect fashion. “Encased In Deathlike Layers” is a musical journey into the abysses within each and every one of us, a Doom Metal masterpiece and one of the major highlights of autumn 2026.
“Encased In Deathlike Layers” will be released on November 27th, 2026, as a double vinyl, CD and digital release via FDA Records, distributed by Cargo Records.
In the first week of September, you can expect the first sounds from the album, along with the start of the pre-order.

FROM XTREEM MUSIC.:
MEGASCAVENGER 1st song, cover art and tracklist for new album!!
The
putrid MEGASCAVENGER machine rises once again from the depths of
Swedish Death Metal with “Toxic Noxious Undeath”, the 6th album from
this monstrous creation spawned by the sick and unstoppable mind of
Rogga Johansson. The new opus will be unleashed on August 13th through XTREEM MUSIC on CD, 12”LP, cassette, and digital formats.
For
this new dose of decay, Rogga has assembled a true legion of cult
vocalists, each vomiting their own infection onto an exclusive track.
Among the names featured in this parade of rot are Kam Lee (Massacre), Erik Rundqvist (Vomitory), Dave Ingram (Benediction ), Max Otero (Mercyless), Dave Rotten (Avulsed), Felix Stass (Crematory-swe), Michael H. Andersen (Thorium), Silvester Koorevaar (Fondlecorpse), Jan Bergmann Jepsen (Maceration) and Peter Svensson (Void Moon) .
Musically,
“Toxic Noxious Undeath” is a crushing avalanche of heavy, rotten, and
criminally catchy Death Metal, packed with infectious riffs and
sepulchral atmospheres that make this album one of the most devastating
and essential releases of the year within the genre.
Is
there ever enough filthy, rotten Death Metal drenched in horror themes?
MEGASCAVENGER certainly doesn’t think so, and that’s exactly why they
return with “Toxic Noxious Undeath”, the band’s sixth full-length
assault.
MEGASCAVENGER
has been lurking in the underground since 2012, and throughout every
album, Rogga Johansson has gathered an impressive cast of guests from
some of the most prominent names in Death Metal. Legends from Master,
Asphyx, Avulsed, Grave, Edge of Sanity, Massacre and Benediction, among
many others, have all left their mark on MEGASCAVENGER’s first four
albums: “Descent of Yuggoth” (2012), “At the Plateaus of Leng” (2014),
“As Dystopia Beckons” (2016), and “Boneyard Symphonies” (2019).
In
early 2020, MEGASCAVENGER signed with Xtreem Music for the release of
their fifth album, “Songs in the Key of Madness”, which saw the light in
August of the same year. Six years later, Rogga has sculpted a new
deformity entitled “Toxic Noxious Undeath”, once again dragging
listeners into a world of rotten riffs, horror-soaked atmospheres, and
pure old-school Death Metal decay.
For this new work, the artwork was created by Lucretia Morti, who has already left her unmistakable mark on bands such as Ribspreader, Avulsed and Paganizer, among many others.
Tracklist for "Toxic Noxious Undeath" is as follows:
01. Graveyard Dreams and Bonehouse Screams
(feat. Kam Lee/Massacre)
02. Corpses Below
(feat. Felix Stass/Crematory)
03. Exploding Casket Syndrome
(feat. Erik Rundqvist/Vomitory)
04. Heading For the Furnace
(feat. Max Otero/Mercyless)
05. A World of Fire and Brimstone
(feat. Dave Ingram/Benediction)
06. Fleshburner Yearner
(feat. Michael H Andersen/Thorium)
07. As Purgatory Ascends
(feat. Jan Bergmann Jepsen/Maceration)
08. Toxic Noxious Undeath
(feat. Silvester Koorevaar/Fondlecorpse)
09. Shallow Grave Overflow
(feat. Dave Rotten/Avulsed)
10. The Morbid Rides Again
(feat. Peter Svensson/Void Moon)
Release
date for "Toxic Noxious Undeath" will be August 13th, 2026 through
Xtreem Music on CD, 12"LP, Cassette & Digital formats.

ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.

ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
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/
