FROM BEHEMOTH: 

 

To our fans in Istanbul and Ankara, we are deeply disappointed to confirm that our scheduled performances in Turkey have been cancelled. Despite exhausting every possible avenue throughout the day and engaging in extensive discussions, the decision from the local authorities remains final. There is simply nothing further we can do to overturn it.
The cancellations come after pressure from religious groups who have characterized our art as satanic propaganda and deemed it unacceptable. This is another example of ideology being used to suppress artistic expression and restrict cultural freedom. Behemoth has always stood for creative independence and the right of artists to express themselves without censorship. Music is not a threat, but silencing it should concern anyone who values freedom of expression.
To those who planned to attend, who travelled, and who stood ready to share this night with us, we are truly sorry. We fought to make these shows happen and we share your frustration and disappointment. Turkey has some of the most passionate and dedicated fans in the world and we hope the day will come when we can return to Istanbul and Ankara and perform for you without interference. Until then, thank you for your unwavering support.

HELLRIPPER: POST LYRIC VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK "CORONACH"

 May be an image of text

 Aberdeen, Scotland based black metal warriors HELLRIPPER have posted a lyric video for "CORONACH" , a track from  the bands anticipated new release "CORONACH", due to be unleashed 3/27/2026 via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS.  

  HELLRIPPER have posted a video for "KINCHYLE (GOATCRAFT AND GRANITE)" , a stand alone single, unleashed 10/22/2025 via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS....  

  HELLRIPPER have announced SPRING 2026 EUROPEAN TOUR DATES WITH SARCATOR and SCHIZOPHRENIA. 

 HELLRIPPER  unleashed "GRIM AND WITHERED HAGS", 2/17/2023 via PEACEVILLLE RECORDS. 

 

 

 FROM HELLRIPPER: 

 Pleased to say that the title track of the upcoming album, 'Coronach' is out now! Check out the amazing artwork by Ikosidio!

A coronach is a vocal lament traditionally performed at funerals in the Scottish highlands. Intertwined with my own words is the poem of the same name by Sir Walter Scott, which served as an inspiration for this story: the funeral of an ambivalent and mysterious figure, revered by his community for his heroic deeds but whose life hid many dark secrets.

As well as lyrically, the track is also a musical experiment for me; it was primarily influenced by late 80’s thrash metal along with bands like Bathory, Gallowbraid and Atlantean Kodex. A dash of post-punk, a fair amount of Iron Maiden-style guitar harmonies, some classical references and the haunting wail of the bagpipes fading in the distance: this song feels like the perfect farewell to the album.

You can hear the track on Bandcamp, or you can stream it elsewhere, or watch the lyric video on YouTube! Let me know what you think.

And on another note - thank you all so much for the pre-orders so far! I'm running low on most of the LP variants/CDs and cassettes. It really means a lot!

PETE SANDOVAL (EX MORBID ANGEL): "I did not leave Morbid Angel in 2013 for religious reasons. I left once, in 2010, due to my back surgery. That was the only departure.."

 No photo description available.

 PETE SANDOVAL, former drummer of Tampa, Florida, U.S.A. death metal legends MORBID ANGEL has explained the real reason he left MORBID ANGEL. 


 PETE SANDOVAL, former drummer of Tampa, Florida, U.S.A. death metal legends MORBID ANGEL was recently diagnosed with autism at 61. . 

MORBID ANGEL unleashed "KINGDOMS DISDAIN", 12/1/2017 via SILVER LINING MUSIC.

On 3/30/2023, the roof collapsed at a MORBID ANGEL show in BELVIDERE, ILLINOIS at the APOLLO THEATER killing one and injuring 28, 5 seriously.  . 


 


 

A tornado ravaged through BELVIDERE, ILLINOIS causing heavy rains and the APOLLO THEATER'S roof to collapse. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM PETE SANDOVAL: 

 

Just a small clarification, because some of the information being shared about why I left MA is just NOT ACCURATE
I did not leave Morbid Angel in 2013 for religious reasons.
I left once, in 2010, due to my back surgery. That was the only departure.
Morbid Angel released THEIR 2011 RECORD with their new drummer, and at that point it was clear the band had moved in a different musical direction than my own style. But the real reason I didn’t rejoin later when I was invited back “ was much simpler and more personal: I wasn’t physically or mentally ready to play the songs at the level I expect from myself.
After my surgery, it took me many years to regain my strength, stamina, and confidence. For someone who already struggles with communication and self-expression, it was easier at the time to give a short explanation (Due my beliefs) than to admit how difficult that period really was.
If faith was truly the reason, I obviously wouldn’t be playing these same songs today. The truth is, it took me nearly 12 years to feel capable again.
