FROM SARDONIC WITCHERY: 

 

SARDONIC WITCHERY - TOUR UPDATE

After careful consideration, SARDONIC WITCHERY has decided to withdraw from the upcoming September 2026 US tour with BESATT.

With the tour now only two weeks away, our flights have still not been purchased, and unfortunately there has also been a lack of communication and clarity regarding the organization of the tour.

Under these circumstances, we have decided that it is better for us to step away from the US dates now, while there is still time for the tour to be reviewed and reorganized.

We have already spoken directly with our brothers in BESATT about the situation. They completely understand our decision and the circumstances behind it, and we sincerely appreciate their understanding and support.

This was not an easy decision, especially because we were looking forward to sharing the stage and the road again with our brothers in BESATT. However, we believe this is the right decision for SARDONIC WITCHERY, rather than continue with uncertainty so close to the tour.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us on these US dates and to everyone who had already made plans around the shows.

IMPORTANT - MEXICO DATES CONFIRMED

Our Mexico dates are NOT canceled and remain confirmed:

OCTOBER 30 — BLACK OBSIDIAN FEST — CDMX

OCTOBER 31 — LEÓN, GUANAJUATO

The Mexico shows will go ahead as planned, and our flights will be purchased by the Mexican promoter this weekend.

We thank everyone for your understanding and continued support. We hope to see you all in Mexico and on future SARDONIC WITCHERY US shows in 2027!

FROM ARGONAUTA RECORDS: 

Pantheist unveil full details of new album ‘Uncanny Times’ and premiere “The Final Journey”

Atmospheric doom masters Pantheïst have revealed the full details of their highly anticipated new album, ‘Uncanny Times’, set for release on October 30, 2026 via Argonauta Records. The album will be available as a deluxe double vinyl, CD and digital release, marking the band’s next major statement in their ongoing exploration of darkness, transcendence and the human condition.

Alongside the album announcement, Pantheist have unveiled the first track from ‘Uncanny Times’, “The Final Journey”, accompanied by an evocative new lyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPtUlZBxOnQ

According to Pantheist:

“The Final Journey is the track which set the tone of the whole album in motion. I wrote the music 15 years ago and then shelved it straight away in the hope I would find a vocalist who is worthy of singing it at some point in the future. My prayers were heard with Linda joining the band about a decade and a half later (you need to be very patient when you play doom metal). Once the lyric was written after a deep philosophical conversation with my friend Ricardo in Panama, the first and most decisive step towards ‘Uncanny Times’ was made with this huge, epic album opener.”

Built around a composition that had been waiting for its moment for fifteen years, “The Final Journey” became the catalyst for the album that followed. Epic, solemn and deeply atmospheric, the track opens ‘Uncanny Times’ with a sense of scale that perfectly introduces the journey through the record’s six compositions.

‘Uncanny Times’ tracklist:

The Final Journey

Laughing Falcon

Kuebiko

Entropy

Ithaca Out of Sight

Requiem for your World

With ‘Uncanny Times’, Pantheist continue to push the boundaries of atmospheric and funeral doom, embracing a vast, immersive sound where monumental heaviness meets reflection, melancholy and existential themes.

‘Uncanny Times’ will be released on October 30, 2026 via Argonauta Records on deluxe double vinyl, CD, digital formats and a label exclusive FAN EDITION ltd 100, preorders are up:

ITP V.026 ONLY ONE PER COFFIN: R.I.P. TIM CURRY (ACTOR)

 

 

 Actor TIM CURRY died 8/25/2026 at 80. 

TIM CURRY was influential during his role as FRANK AND FURTER on the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. 

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE show was the longest running film in history. 

 TIM CURRY had a long career in acting in films, television and theater. 

 

 

 

 

FROM TRANSYLVANIA RECORDINGS: 

  

More often than not people assume the label is named after Dracula, it’s not. While I’ve long been fascinated with the origin story and lore of vampires, I’d be lying if I said that was my only influence for the namesake. As a child I did file my teeth to a point and crave blood but that was because I was a weirdo loser. The RHPS was something I always had in life, it raised my mother and idolizing her I of course became enamored with it as well. Science fiction and the art of 70s is the most spectacular to me. It was the single greatest era of art and experimentation in my opinion and what opened the minds of so many creative dreamers was the explosion of the rocky horror picture show and not a single performer was more glamorous and recognized for their gender bending beyond Tim Curry. While a majority of folks are uncomfortable in their own sexuality and body, Tim had no issue embracing his inner freak to shine.

For me it’s hard to truly mourn folks that have lived a long successful and dream life while so many others die young and horribly but the west as a whole losing two icons in 24 hours is brutal. RIP

Should A.T.C. be what I call my label fest

 

 

FROM SOPHIE LANCASTER FOUNDATION: 

 

Today, we’re remembering another legend we’ve lost.

Tim Curry was loved for his extraordinary work across film, television, theatre and music. From The Rocky Horror Picture Show and IT to Legend, his performances, which he made his own, have stayed with people long after they first encountered them.

He was unapologetically himself. Bold, theatrical and creative. He challenged expectations and never seemed afraid to stand out. That feels particularly relevant to the work we do at the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, where we believe no one should be judged or targeted simply for being who they are.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show holds a special place within our community and Tim’s unforgettable performance as Frank-N-Furter helped make it the cultural phenomenon it remains today.

And perhaps his most famous words still say it best:

“Don’t dream it. Be it.”

Simple words, but a powerful reminder that there is no wrong way to be yourself.

Thank you, Tim, for the performances, the memories and the inspiration to embrace who we are.

Rest in peace.

FROM KAMELOT: 

 

“Ashen World” is out now! This first single from the Dark Asylum era is rich with cinematic darkness, unforgettable melodies, a towering anthemic chorus, and unexpected twists that expand the sonic landscape.

With countless dynamic shifts, our vocalist Tommy Karevik showcases the full breadth of his remarkable range, effortlessly moving from intimate, haunting passages to his signature soaring power. Adding another layer of atmosphere, Decessus frontwoman and reigning Miss Chile Ignacia Fernández makes an ethereal vocal appearance that intertwines beautifully with the song's haunting mood, as "Ashen World" tells the story of a world descending into darkness while never losing sight of hope, resilience, and redemption.

Our founding guitarist and songwriter, Thomas Youngblood, states, “’Ashen World’ captures that moment of standing at the crossroads between darkness and hope, where the journey forward begins. It's classic KAMELOT at its core, while opening new doors into the world of Dark Asylum."

Today, we unveil “Sanctuary”, the epic final single from our forthcoming new album, Dark Asylum!

Watch the video on YouTube!

New Album Dark Asylum Album Out Friday: http://lnk.to/Kamelot-DarkAsylum

Hear “Sanctuary” live on The Dark Asylum World Tour!

“Sanctuary” is built upon pulsating riffs and cinematic swells. Our vocalist Tommy Karevik is joined by labelmates and upcoming tour partners Visions of Atlantis’ Clémentine Delauney and Decessus frontwoman and current Miss World Chile Ignacia Fernández for an exhilaratingly dynamic vocal trio. With all of its bombast and bravado, “Sanctuary” firmly plants our feet before leaping into a triumphant, intercontinental victory lap.

Guitarist and founding member Thomas Youngblood on “Sanctuary”:

“‘Sanctuary’ represents the moment when the darkness of RavenHill is finally left behind. The song is about hope, freedom and finding your way back to yourself after everything you’ve endured. The video takes the story beyond the walls of RavenHill and gives us a glimpse of life after the escape, a new beginning, but one still shaped by the memories and scars of the past. With Tommy, Clémentine and Ignacia bringing three distinct voices to the song, it gives ‘Sanctuary’ an emotional depth that perfectly reflects the journey from darkness into light.”
