FROM PSICORRAGIA: 

 

Official statement from Satanath Records
New album "Nekromanthra" of Peruvian doom/death metal band Psicorragia is out on June 23, 2026!
"NEKROMANTHRA" is the third full-length album by the Peruvian death/doom metal band PSICORRAGIA. Active since 1994, the band has forged a distinctive identity rooted in darkness, combining the weight of death/doom metal with elements and technique from traditional death metal, along with black metal nuances and influences from other dark genres, establishing itself as a representative band of the genre in South America. With this new release, the band delves even deeper into its darkest vision, expressed through six tracks infused with death/doom metal. Throughout the album, dense and funereal passages coexist with melancholic atmospheres and eruptions of chaos, without abandoning the rawness or technicality of traditional death metal. The work also incorporates black metal nuances and other lugubrious elements that further radicalize the band’s proposal. Thematically, the album explores the darkest corners of the human species, immersing itself in landscapes of decay, death, and the deepest horrors of existence. The lyrics move through the decomposition of both the physical and the moral, the inevitability of the end, the presence of abyssal forces, and the contemplation of the inexorable... All compositions were conceived and produced by the band itself, shaping a work that deepens Psicorragia’s bleakest vision. The album was recorded during 2024, while mixing and mastering were completed between January and July 2025. The album artwork is a work by American artist Thomas G. Anderson, internationally recognized for his Dark Art aesthetic, where cinematic photography and psychological horror converge. For fans of the early works of My Dying Bride, Anathema, Katatonia, Paradise Lost and Moonspell, as well as bands such as Varathron, Rotting Christ, Acheron, Edge of Sanity, Mystifier, Abysmal Grief, Unholy.
Co-release Satanath Records (Georgia) with Thrashirts (Peru).
Track-list:
01. ...Y sus plagas invocaron
02. Abismales
03. Lo inexorable
04. Sombras luminosas
05. La osamenta
06. Nekromanthra, el meditar de los fúnebres

    VERDUN: POST NEW TRACK "LA LAME ET LA CHAIR"

     May be an image of text

     French blackened, sludge, doom metal warriors VERDUN: have posted ,"LA LAME ET LA CHAIR"     a track from the bands anticipated new release "ABYSSAL WOMB", due to be unleashed 6/26/2026 via TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY RECORDS. 

     

     

     

     VERDUN unleashed "ASTRAL SABBATH", 11/15/2019 via THROATRUINER RECORDS. 

     

     

     FROM TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY RECORDS. 

     

    NEW RELEASE PREORDER: Verdun (France) - Abyssal Womb (Black Metal/Sludge)
    Info -
    Verdun from France emerge after a prolonged gap of seven years, armed with a sound more potent and lethal than ever before. They've evolved to play a form of blackened sludge with a dissonant edge. Their music on the new album is riff-driven through and through; without wasting time on ambience or buildup, they go straight for the jugular and leave things filthy. The music is mind-numbingly heavy yet catchy and direct, making it highly effective and memorable. To balance the blackened spite dripping from the well-enunciated vocals, the music includes atmospheric elements and possesses emotional depth. The album doesn't drag on and seems to end sooner than later but only after exploring various aspects of their sound that keep it engrossing and thoroughly satisfying. "Abyssal Womb" is a fine representation of the style, having a sublime sound and faultless execution, and more importantly, it will stay with you long after the album is over.
