LE HORLA | OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO 🔥
What if the greatest horror isn't death, but losing control of your own mind?
We're proud to share our brand-new music video LE HORLA!
Inspired by Guy de Maupassant's chilling 1887 psychological horror story, the song explores a terrifying descent into madness, as an invisible presence slowly destroys sanity, identity, and free will.
🎬 Directed by Daniel Kupsa, with Mateo Tazky as Second Director, and starring Jaroslav Nosek.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing this dark vision to life!
LE HORLA is taken from our upcoming album THE SHAPES OF HIDDEN MALICE, featuring ten songs inspired by ten classic works of horror literature from around the world.
💀 Ten stories. Ten nightmares. One descent beyond reality.
📀 Out November 13, 2026 via Transcending Obscurity Records.
Turn up the volume, enter the nightmare, and let us know what you think! 🤘
🔥 LE HORLA | OFICIÁLNÍ VIDEOKLIP 🔥
Co když největší hrůzou není smrt, ale ztráta kontroly nad vlastní myslí?
S radostí vám představujeme náš nový videoklip LE HORLA!
Skladba je inspirována stejnojmennou psychologickou hororovou povídkou Guye de Maupassanta z roku 1887 a zachycuje děsivý sestup do šílenství, kdy neviditelná síla postupně ničí lidský rozum, identitu a svobodnou vůli.
🎬 Režie se ujal Daniel Kupsa, druhým režisérem byl Mateo Ťažký a hlavní roli ztvárnil Jaroslav Nosek.
Velké poděkování všem, kteří se podíleli na realizaci této temné vize!
LE HORLA pochází z našeho připravovaného alba THE SHAPES OF HIDDEN MALICE, které obsahuje deset skladeb inspirovaných deseti klasickými hororovými literárními díly z různých zemí a historických období.
💀 Deset příběhů. Deset nočních můr. Jeden sestup za hranice reality.
📀 Album vychází 13. listopadu 2026 u Transcending Obscurity Records.

NOX: SET TO UNLEASH "STASES", POST NEW TRACK "TESTIMONIUM XII SOMNIATORIS DAMNATI"

 




European black metal warriors NOX have posted "TESTIMONIUM XII SOMNIATORIS DAMNATI" , a track from the bands anticipated debut release  "STASES", due to be unleashed 12/11/2026 via DEBEMUR MORTI PRODUCTIONS. 







FROM BLUT AUS NORD: 

We are proud to present "T.S / Testimonium XII-Somniatoris Damnati, the first track unveiled from "Stases" , the debut album by the entity NΩX and the opening chapter of a new musical adventure... an incursion into territories where sonic matter distorts and decays, reaching its most extreme and sinister frontiers. NΩX was born of this necessity: to push the exploration of the abyss ever further, to probe the most inhospitable strata of sound, and to give form to that which lies dormant in the most obscure recesses of our musical universe.
We are fully aware that many will question the decision not to release this music under the name Blut aus Nord, given the unmistakable lineage. The answer is simple: this is not our intention. BaN's short- and medium-term plans are taking an entirely different direction. Nevertheless, NΩX is inextricably linked to Blut aus Nord: it is a genuine offshoot, taking shape through its most obscure echoes... It is this unfathomable abyss that we intend to explore through "Stases".
MoRT, Deus Salutis Meæ and Nahab are the dark foundations upon which the discography of NΩX will be erected...

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

This week on Into The Necrosphere, I’m joined by Sina Winter, the man behind From The Vastland • Band, for a deep dive into one of the most fascinating projects in contemporary black metal. We discuss the band's latest album, Servant Of Ahriman, an ambitious concept record rooted in ancient Persian mythology. Sina talks me through the symbolism and cultural significance of the story, the suppression of Iran's pre-Islamic heritage, and the extraordinary circumstances that shaped his own journey from making black metal in a country where the music is forbidden to finding his place in the Norwegian scene. Along the way, we get into morality police arrests, threats from the Iranian authorities, the making of the acclaimed Blackhearts documentary, and the remarkable chain of events that ultimately brought him to Norway.
Then, on my Weekly News Rant, we kick things off with the long-awaited return of Leviathan and a first taste of the forthcoming Die To This, before getting into new music from Azarath, 200 Stab Wounds, Golgothan Remains, Gates Of Ishtar, OVÁTE, Death Barrel, Kalt Vindur and more. I also give you my thoughts on the new Carnivore A.D. single, run through some of my most anticipated releases for 2027, and tackle a couple of listener questions, including my ten favourite Type O Negative songs. And, self-appointed moral arbiters of the black metal scene are forced to face a watery reckoning on my Swirly Of The Week.
Plus: Austrian black metallers, Vargsriket, make their Unsanctioned Filth debut.
Out now on all digital platforms.
