Mortem ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM MØRKETID, RELEASED 3rd JULY

ORDER HERE: https://mortem.lnk.to/Morketid (or link in bio)

"This has been a long wait. We are happy and pleased with the result. We hope you`ll be as well." - Mortem

THE SECOND STUDIO ALBUM FROM THE NORWEGIAN EXTREME METAL PIONEERS, COMPRISING MEMBERS OF ARCTURUS, THORNS, MAYHEM & 1349

Mortem return with a new ode to the dark: Mørketid. Combining brooding, mid-paced monumental riffs with bursts of hyperspeed black metal, the album — set for release via Peaceville on 3rd July — marks a clear progression from their 2019 debut, Ravnsart. Across eight tracks of savage, eerie, and often epic black metal, the band is joined by the indomitable keyboard textures of Sverd, Hellhammer’s unmistakable percussive prowess, and the vicious returning snarls of vocalist Marius Vold.

VIA DOLORIS: INTERVIEWED BY INTO THE NECROSPHERE

 

 

 

GILDAS of  Oslo, Norway black metal warriors VIA DOLORIS was recently interviewed by  INTO THE NECROSPHERE..

 

VIA DOLORIS unleashed "GUERRE ET PAIX",  3/20/2026 via SEASON OF MIST. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

 

On this week’s episode of Into The Necrosphere, I welcome Gildas Le Pape of Via Doloris to the podcast for the first time to discuss the band’s blistering debut album, Guerre Et Paix.

We dive deep into the writing and creation of the record, including how Gildas linked up with the legendary Frost to perform drums on the album. We also discuss Gildas’ stint as guitarist for Satyricon, what he learned from the experience, and his musical pursuits outside of black metal.

Then, on the Weekly News Rant, the sinister minister himself, Karl Haikara, returns to help me round up the latest singles from Haemoth, Darkthrone, Frozen Soul, Enevelde and more for judgment. We also rank our favourite Satyricon albums, Karl delivers his own “bad metal take,” and we administer a well-earned tag-team swirly to a thoroughly deserving gaggle of online nitwits.

PLUS: another Premiere on the Sphere, courtesy of our friends at Apocalyptic Witchcraft, as Flowers Of Rust debut the first single from their upcoming release, Crude Exhibitions of the Soul.

Out now on all digital platforms

FROM BENEDICTION: 

 

BENEDICTION STATEMENT.

Further to the recent post regarding the health situation of vocalist Dave Ingram, We have received this statement from the man himself;

“Some sad news ahead. Due to the current state of my arthritis now, I have to withdraw as vocalist for Benediction. The increase in pain, and the frustration it causes from its debilitation, has led me to this disconsolate decision. I will be performing select shows with the band during 2026 as I would like a chance to say farewell and thank you to the fans who have supported us throughout the years, so hope that all attending them will have an awesome time with us. It saddens me greatly, and I hope that friends and fans alike will understand. Thank you, it has truly been a blast!”

Details of which shows Dave will attend will be announced as we get closer to gig day as obviously His health will dictate this.

As you would expect Benediction do not want to cancel ANY shows and have called on a few old friends to fill the inevitable void on centre stage for the gigs Dave will miss in the next few Months

Firstly the band had no hesitation in inviting Oscar Rilo to once again step up and fill the vocalist position for the gigs in Germany on 15 and 16 May.

Oscar has received rave reviews from the media and musicians alike after his superb performances at recent Benediction concerts in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona and the Boys in the band are thrilled He will again take up the hot seat.

Dave Hunt will return to his former position as frontman for Benediction at Iron fest and Mystic, his first appearances for the band since he was himself replaced by Dave Ingram in 2019.

We will hopefully to have some really exciting news for our fans in Latin/South America over the next few weeks so keep an eye open for that!

Benediction would like to wish Dave Ingram well and want to make his remaining shows with the band a real send off so we’ll need all of you guys for that! So Let’s Go!

The band would like to thank you, the fans for your understanding in this unfortunately difficult period.

Thanks for your undying loyalty and relentless support as always. You guys never let us down and we are eternally grateful.

So for now let’s all get behind Oscar Rilo and Dave Hunt for making the next few shows possible (Thanks Fellas!)and let’s make the shows the usual energetic metal chaos you are used to seeing!

More news as we get it but ultimately…The Show Must Go On!!

Thanks, Benediction
