EXHUMED • NUNSLAUGHTER • MOLDER • TRAFFIC DEATH: SET TO UNLEASH 4 WAY SPLIT LP

 

 

 

 U.S.A. death metal bands EXHUMED,  NUNSLAUGHTER,  MOLDER,  TRAFFIC DEATH are set to release a 4 way split , due to be unleashed 10/30/2026 via REDEFINING DARKNESS RECORDS..

 

 

 

 

 

FROM REDEFINING DARKNESS RECORDS: 

 

EXHUMED • NUNSLAUGHTER • MOLDER • TRAFFIC DEATH

Four forces of the extreme metal underground converge for a special 4-WAY SPLIT LP featuring brand new, previously unreleased material from each band!

More than just four bands sharing wax, this release was born from longstanding friendships, mutual respect, and a shared connection to the underground metal and punk scene. A celebration of the scene, the friendships forged within it, and an absolute devotion to extreme music.

Exhumed’s Matt Harvey comments on one of their contributions, “Roadside Attraction”:

“When Nate from Traffic Death approached me with this wild concept for a four-way split LP, I knew it would be a perfect place to showcase some of the non-album tracks [from the Red Asphalt sessions]. Roadside Attraction is one of my favorite tunes from the whole session, as it evokes the spirit of what we were trying to do back in the mid-90s. I even lifted a riff from those days for the bridge of the song to get a properly grimy vibe going.”

From Exhumed ’s gore-saturated deathgrinding savagery and NunSlaughter ’s unmistakable “Devil Metal,” to Molder ’s diseased old-school death metal and TRAFFIC DEATH ’s violent collision of crossover, grindcore, punk, doom and thrash — four distinct corners of the underground collide on one slab of wax.

Filthy, violent, and unapologetically underground — this is extreme music exactly as it should be.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Drummer Replacement — HATE (European Tour w/ Fear Factory)

Dear fans, friends and everyone following HATE on the road - due to unforeseen circumstances, we have a lineup change for the last 14 shows of our European tour supporting American metal legends, Fear Factory. Our current drummer Nar-Sil will be replaced by Jakub „Triglav” Muranowicz (Infernal Flame), who will take over the reins for the remainder of the tour (from Budapest date 23/9 onwards). Triglav also recently filled in for Nar-Sil at the Hell in the Shell Festival (PL), and needless to say, he delivered. He is a skillful and thunderous drummer and we look forward to having him onstage with us once more! See you out on the road!
