FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

 

On April 2nd, 2026, ULTHA dropped the surprise follow-up to their critically acclaimed album All That Has Never Been True with no warning, press or prior buildup.
Ahead of its release, I sat down with my good friend Ralph Schmidt, guitarist for Ultha, to dissect the new record, A Light So Dim. Ralph takes us track-by-track through the album, unpacking the personal experiences that inspired it, the evolution within the band, and how those shifts shaped its final sound.
On the Weekly News Rant: I’m answering your questions on hi-fi, grilling the perfect steak, and TV shows, while rounding up the latest tracks by Trelldom, Defiled, Aversio Humanitatis, MORK, Shane Embury and others for judgement.
PLUS: Horsemen of the Podcast Apocalypse capos Michael Hill and Karl Haikara join forces with the mighty DRUGOTH for Hollow Lands in this week’s Unsanctioned Filth spotlight, and a feeble attempt at trolling backfires spectacularly, earning its author a well-deserved Swirly of the Week.
Out now on all digital platforms.

 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.

David Sadok - Vocals
Jay Pinelli - Guitars
Florian Celdran - Bass
