Requiem for Oblivion – The Glares
(Single | 30/12/2022 | Independent)

Bridges Ablaze – Hellbent
(Single | 13/01/2023 | Independent)
Death Metal is rather an element than the main style of this track, but nevertheless, Bridges Ablaze provide us with some massive riffing. Mostly situated in the realms of Metalcore, the band from Austin, Texas presents a sound that reaches from melodic heights to brachial depths. ‚Hellbent‘ is about the struggle one has to go through to escape from misery.

nerumia – Fatal Delirium
(Album | 10/02/2021 | Independent)
nerumia were founded in Swiss town Lausanne in 2002, and their latest album „Fatal Delirium“ leaves only one thought: Why on Satan’s Earth aren’t they more popular?“. Blizzards of Black Metal burst across an infernal sonic environment made from Death and Thrash Metal. And just by the way, this awesome is a great reminder how great guttural screams can soun in French language.
