HKSPK – Nocturnal Beheading
From the EP The Human Butcher (18/06/2025)
3:17 | Digital / Lyric Video
Black Metal / Blackened Death Metal
Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany
On the final track off their recently released EP The Human Butcher, Brandenburg’s HKSPK spread freezing black metal storms and pure venom. The young band’s sound is coined by European black and blackened death metal, especially from the 90s. Nevertheless, Nocturnal Beheading sticks out of the EP’s sound. While the first four tracks are more sonorous and reach into the spheres of death metal, Nocturnal Beheading is an ice-cold black metal blizzard, even colder than previous tracks. Even when you listen to this beats of a song in hottest summer, you will want to put on a heavy jacket and enjoy the sonic fimbulwinter. Let us thus welcome a new wave of black and unholy metal with HKSPK and their Nocturnal Beheading.
Martel – Zaire
Album | 23/07/2025
31:44 | 4 tracks | Vinyl / Digital
Experimental / Techno
Titograd (Podgorica), Montenegro
Zaire is a deep dive into the musical heritage of the Congo Rainforest combined with intelligent techno and an experimental twist. But Martel‘s four-track longplayer is not meant to be an easy release as it focuses on the struggles that define life and culture of post-colonial central Africa. Thus, the four tracks, each of them between six and ten minutes in length deal with the ongoing fight for liberation and freedom. Between oppression and injustice, sparks of hope and dreams of peace illuminate the sky of Zaire. And like that, past and present, autonomy and dependence, hope and desolation shake back and forth through an experimental and yet catchy electronic soundscape.
We will dance again
