FROM NAPALM RECORDS:

French Folk Band SKÁLD Signs with Napalm Records!

New Album, Ørlǫg, Will Be Released September 25, 2026

First Single, “Draumakona”, Out Now, watch the Official Music Video here:

https://youtu.be/JjvHb3rmI_w

Pre-Order "Ørlǫg" here: https://lnk.to/SKALD-Orlog

Ancient spirits come alive as SKÁLD extend an invitation into times long gone but not forgotten. Ørlǫg, coming September 25, 2026, is the French band’s first album via Austrian label juggernaut Napalm Records, and it is our destiny. As the Norns weave our future, this album is a fascinating passageway into our pristine origins and the consequences of our choices. Inspired by Skaldic poetry, SKÁLD use instruments fitting of the time: Ørlǫg is shaped by Nordic fiddles, different forms of harps and lyres, horns, kannels, and whistles, among others, as well as three lead vocalists to bring the arrangements to life. Ten new songs as stepping stones, Ørlǫg is an offering to listen, to dwell, to reflect—and to find something within yourself previously unknown. SKÁLD don’t just play music, they awaken ancient ways.

SKÁLD about the signing:

“Signing with Napalm Records is a really exciting step, the band has never been so united and this strong partnership with the label makes us even stronger. It was undoubtedly meant to be, and Ørlǫg is the perfect album to make it happen. We can’t wait to see where this shared vision takes us.”

Napalm Records Senior A&R Sebastian Münch about the signing:

“SKÁLD have a remarkable way of bringing Nordic folklore and mythology to life through their music. Their new album, Ørlǫg, is a fantastic release that both longtime fans and those discovering the band for the first time are sure to enjoy. I’m thrilled to be working with SKÁLD and can’t wait to see what we can achieve together with Napalm Records.”

FROM TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY RECORDS. :

New signing announcement: Death metal band Goreworm from Canada

We're glad to work with Canadian band Goreworm who have forged their own kind of prog/tech death metal music using influences ranging from melodic to brutal death metal. It sounds strange on paper and yet they seem to make it work somehow. It takes a few listens for it all to fall in place but that's part of the charm of this release. Listen to one of the songs here - https://youtu.be/TMr3dhxl4SI

Band's statement: It is a great honor to be working with Transcending Obscurity Records for the release of our new record. This one has been a long time coming, we have had many setbacks but we never gave up and now the time is here. This new record may be a bit of a new direction for us but the core elements of Goreworm are still present featuring our fast paced blend of melodic, technical, and brutal death metal. We hope everyone who listens will enjoy the music.

Line up -

Robert Miller - Vocals

Jordan Estrela - Guitars

Brent Moerschfelder - Guitars/Bass

Robin Stone - Session Drums

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.
