- Sign for Tomorrow
- Insanity
- Dirt and Lust
- Let Go

Darkrypt
From India not Scandinavia, emerges a band expanding upon the sound laid down by the masters. With mixing done by the dark death metal expert Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios (Cruciamentum, Chthe’ilist, etc.) and mastering by the legend Dan Swano at Unisound Studios (Asphyx, Bloodbath, etc.), everything has been done to perfectly capture the right sound intended for music of this ilk. With influences ranging from Demilich, Adramelech, Demigod, (early) Amorphis, Funebre and Nihilist, Darkrypt have taken the best elements of all and forged a sound that retains the local flavour and yet creates music that’s classic in intent, memorable as well as catchy.
With guest appearances by Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, The Grotesquery, etc.), Nitin Rajan (Primitiv), not to mention the lyrical contribution of Riju Dasgupta (Albatross, Primitiv), this is probably the most ambitious debut by a new band from the country. Even devoid of all these contributions, the album on its own merit is rife with excellent riffs, varying tempos capturing a myriad contrasting moods, able percussion propelling the mind-melting structures, and thoughtful vocal delivery so as not to kill the effectiveness of death metal that’s heaving with an ability to express.
Delirious Excursion is out on October 15th through Transcending Obscurity India. Track listing is as below:
- The Becoming Alteration
- Dark Crypt
- Chasm of Death
- Abstract Submission
- Cryptic Illusions (ft. Rogga Johansson)
- Folie a Deux
- Limbic Dichotomy
- The Inducer (ft. Nitin Rajan of Primitiv)
- The Acceptor
Soilwork
Visionary swedish metallers Soilwork have released the fourth Inside Death Resonance video trailer in which singer Björn “Speed” Strid talks about the band’s special collection of rarities, Death Resonance (out August 19, 2016 via Nuclear Blast).
Warfather
Blackened death metal powerhouse Warfather has releases a stream of “Judgement, The Hammer.” The newest track off the band’s album The Grey Eminence reunites Warfather mastermind with his former Morbid Angel bandmate Erik Rutan. Rutan, who handled production duties for the album, ed Tucker as a guest vocalist on what is easily one of the album’s most brutal songs.
The album will be released September 16 on Greyhaze Records. Pre-order it at this location.
