DRUNKEN CROCODILES Unveil Full Details of New Album “Aegony” and Release Second Video for “Le Divin Marquis”

Heavy Psych/Stoner/Sludge trio DRUNKEN CROCODILES have officially revealed all the details for their highly anticipated new album, “Aegony,” set for release on March 21, 2025, via Octopus Rising, an (un)parallel label of Argonauta Records. To mark the occasion, the band has also dropped the second official video from the album, “Le Divin Marquis”—a track inspired by the life of the notorious Marquis de Sade. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/FI2gnjdoSLM

Recorded during early summer 2024 at Noise Studio in Parma, “Aegony” is a sonic statement against the modern obsession with perfection. Committed to an analog recording process, the band embraced a raw and organic approach—no reamping, no triggers, no pitch correction, and a conscious departure from the “Loudness War” to preserve the natural dynamics of their execution. The result is a warm, immersive soundscape that oscillates between dreamlike melodies, aggressive tight riffs, and evocative bursts of rage.

Conceptually, “Aegony” explores the dark consequences of the ego, delving into real-life stories where self-interest clashes with humanity. Each track reflects a unique struggle—whether against mortality, nature, society, or evolution—forming a cohesive narrative of human folly and self-destruction.

TRACKLIST:
01 – FIRST POINT OF LIBRA (1:11) – Intro, feat. “Emil Cioran quote”.

02 – AUTOJEKTOR (7:30) – Inspired by Sergei Brukhonenko’s experiments (Ego vs. Mortality).

03 – RAINMAKER (4:47) – Dedicated to Charles Hatfield (Ego vs. Mother Nature).

04 – LE DIVIN MARQUIS (7:11) – Exploring the legacy of the Marquis de Sade (Ego vs. Society).

05 – HOMO HOMINI LUPUS (6:21) – Reflecting on human’s primal nature (Ego vs. Instinct).

06 – SLOW BURN (4:49) – Examining the genocide of Native Americans (Ego vs. Property).

07 – BEHAVIORAL SINK (10:22) – Inspired by John B. Calhoun’s studies (Ego vs. Evolution).

08 – FIRST POINT OF ARIES (2:00) – Outro, feat. “Giordano Bruno quote”.

At its core, “Aegony” questions the destructive influence of the ego in human behavior. The album invites listeners to reflect on how unchecked self-interest has historically led to domination, conflict, and suffering. However, it also suggests a path to awareness and collective evolution, hinting at the possibility of a future where human connection prevails over self-absorption. Is humanity capable of changing its course, or are we doomed to repeat the same mistakes?

Formed in 2012, DRUNKEN CROCODILES navigated through years of experimentation and lineup changes before solidifying their presence in the heavy underground scene. Their 2019 debut album “Out of Barrel” (Too Loud Records) delivered an explosive mix of raw energy and emotion, leading to a successful Eastern European tour.

Following a temporary disbandment during the COVID era, original founder Elia Borelli (vocals/bass) revived the band in 2021, recruiting Federico Pardini (guitar) and Simone Silvestre (drums). The new lineup quickly found its stride, incorporating psychedelic and dreamlike elements into their heavy sound. A 2023 European tour set the stage for their next creative endeavor—leading to the recording of “Aegony” in summer 2024.

Now, with “Aegony” on the horizon, DRUNKEN CROCODILES are ready to take listeners on an intense, thought-provoking journey through sound and philosophy. Get ready to experience the brutal beauty of “Aegony” on March 21, 2025, available on CD and all streaming platforms via Octopus Rising (Argonauta Records).

The debut album from Chicago-based blackened-death entity MARROWOMB is now available for download and streaming.

Over five years in the making, Phisenomie is the brain spawn of multi-instrumentalist Frank Lato and features drums by renowned session drummer Kevin Paradis (ex-Benighted).

Get Phisenomie at marrowomb.bandcamp.com/album/phisenomie.

Featuring eight meticulously crafted tracks, Phisenomie delivers an unrelenting experience that blurs the boundaries between extreme and experimental. Each song provides a labyrinth of ferocious riffs and punishing rhythms, showcasing Lato’s visionary approach to composition. Phisenomie immerses listeners in a soundscape that is both savage and cerebral. This debut offering is more than just an album—it is a journey through the depths of the human psyche, where chaos and catharsis converge.

The artwork for Phisenomie was done by Penny Slinger (pennyslinger.com/) with layout by Frank Lato. Photography by the legendary Peter Beste.

“You’re not going to get some amateur hour here. This album is 45 minutes of blistering blackened death metal that attacks from every angle.”

– Vox and Hops

“A furious yet cerebral journey that pushes boundaries” – Antihero Magazine

“A thick, bitter, but well-seasoned bowl of madness.” – Metal Temple

Tracklisting:

1) Phantasia Kataleptike

2) Sickness Unto Life

3) Vicarious Visage

4) Inner Ring

5) Black Gossamer

6) Veil of Cold

7) The Mirror

MARROWOMB is a blackened death metal project formed from the ashes of former Chicago-based bands Polyptych and Endmember in 2020. Spearheaded by mastermind Frank Lato, the artistry of MARROWOMB knows no bounds and takes an uncompromising approach to songwriting. The project takes its influences from various sources; however, the prominent focus is centered on internal conflict and struggle.

MARROWOMB opts for a simplistic approach to its lyrical content and concepts; however, this is not a surface-level entity. For those who choose to venture beyond the surface, there are rewards to seeking out additional truths, messages, and meanings within the music.

One day before their appearance on Stefan Raab’s “Chefsache ESC 2025 – Wer singt für Deutschland”, the German preliminary round for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, FEUERSCHWANZ release their new song “Knightclub” with Dag-Alexis Kopplin from SDP as a featured guest. With its catchy hook and infectious dancefloor beats, “Knightclub” is a track that will create the perfect atmosphere at any metal show. The accompanying music video, which also features Kopplin, underlines this character and combines the light-heartedness and vibes of the band’s early party metal days with the impressive transformation that FEUERSCHWANZ have undergone with their last few albums.
 
With their modern folk metal sound, the Nuremberg-based band has risen to the top of the genre. Their last two studio albums, Memento Mori (2021) and Fegefeuer (2023), both debuted at #1 on the official German album charts. Recent headline tours were nearly all sold out, they have secured prime spots at the largest festivals, and their songs and videos have garnered millions of streams. One standout moment was their 20th anniversary show at the end of 2024—an unforgettable Metfest performance in front of over 7,000 ecstatic fans, and the biggest in the event’s history.
 
FEUERSCHWANZ on “Knightclub”:
“‘Knightclub’ is the essence of 20 years of FEUERSCHWANZ. A strong brew of the heaviest riffs and most epic hooks we have ever written come together with the greatest heroes from the world of fantasy and history. As a special accolade, we have enlisted the support of Dag-Alexis Kopplin from SDP! Descend into the dungeons with us, experience a crazy musical trip and rise up as ladies, lords, shieldmaidens, heroes and knights of the ‘Knightclub’!”
Watch the official music video for “Knightclub” HERE:

Tomorrow, Saturday, FEUERSCHWANZ will once again swap the festival stage for a TV appearance as one of 14 acts competing in the semi-finals of Germany’s Eurovision Song Contest preliminary round. Chosen from over 3,000 applications, the band impressed the jury—led by Stefan Raab, Yvonne Catterfeld, and Elton—in the first show on February 14 with their cover of O-Zone’s “Dragostea din tei.” This Saturday, the jury will once again vote on whether they move on, or their journey ends early. The live final, broadcast on ARD and hosted by NDR on March 1, will see viewers choosing the winning act, who will go on to represent Germany in Basel. Barbara Schöneberger will host all shows.
 
The semi-finals and final of “Chefsache ESC 2025 – Wer singt für Deutschland” will be broadcast live on the primetime show on German TV at the following times:
Saturday, February 22, 2025 | 08.15pm CET | RTL
Final: Saturday, March 1, 2025 | 08.15pm CET | Das Erste

The Metal Asylum Talks To Vittorio Sabelli (Notturno)

– Can you tell us about the origin of the band name, a history of the band and a little bit about the various members?

Notturno was born with the idea of ​​creating music that breathes the darkness and intimacy of the night. Atmospheres and melodies are created in harmony with the most intimate part of ourselves.

– Are you all from the same area? How did you get together as a band?

Notturno is a project composed by me and Kjiel with the addition of the drummer Sven in the first album, while from the second album ‘Inside’ there is the drummer Diego ‘Aeternus’ Tasciotti. Kjiel and I live close by even if we see each other very little. I chose Kjiel because in the extreme music scene she is the only one who manages to have dynamics that go from almost imperceptible whispers to a devastating scream with a unique musical expressiveness. Above all, she is a person with whom I can find an excellent balance inside the project.

– Who are your favourite artists/bands and how have they influenced your own sound?

The first album ‘Obsessions’ is certainly influenced by some bands I was listening to at that time (Coldworld, Nocturnal Depression) but from the second ‘Inside’, Notturno begins to have its own unique characteristics within the Black Metal panorama. The distinctive features are certainly the use of clarinets and piano, in addition to Kjiel’s voice, which makes the project recognizable at first glance.

– Did you always have the ambition to be a musician and in a band or did you originally have other plans?

Being able to do what you love for a living, which is playing music, is already an excellent goal in itself. I honestly never thought I could do better since I was a teenager.

– What songs or albums are on your current playlist?

I still think in the old way, so no playlists but only vinyl and CDs. Lately my listening are focused on the discography of Lifelover and The Cure.

– Do you sing in the shower?

Absolutely not, I’m also a terrible singer, I admit it!

– Do you have any plans for the band for this year and into next year?

The third album ‘Our’ has just been released, again for the label Hypnotic Dirge Records. The second album of the A.M.E.N. project will be released next January for the label My Kingdom Music, together with Erba del Diavolo, the singer of the mighty Ponte del Diavolo. The album will be dedicated to the King of horror: Dario Argento.

– Do you currently have any new songs/albums ready to be released?

In addition to Notturno and A.M.E.N. I’m working on the second INCANTVM album titled “Maleficia”.

– If you could play at any venue in the world where would you choose?

Notturno inside Pere Lachaise in Paris.

– Do you have a favourite album? If so, what is it?

I have more than one but there are at least four that have changed my life, and they are: Miles Davis ‘Kinf of Blue’, Led Zeppelin II, Black Sabbath ‘The Headless Cross’ and ‘Nemesis Divina’ by Satyricon.

– Do you have any guilty pleasure songs/albums?

Absolutely not. I try to listen to what is in tune with my mood every day and still enjoy the pleasure of emotions that only music can give.

– If you were putting together the greatest show on earth, who would be playing?

Very difficult, but I would say Led Zeppelin with Miles Davis and Dimebag Darrell.

– Can you remember the first album you bought with your own money? What was it and do you still have it?

I still have every vinyl, CD or MC from when I was 14th years old. The first MC was Black Sabbath’s The Headless Cross and the first Iron Maiden, also on MC.

– As your fans will be reading this, is there any message you would like to send out to them?

Always to support Underground music, still among the few in which you can find sincerity from those who create it. Of course all the projects can be listened to and possibly purchased on our Bandcamp page: https://dawnofadarkage.bandcamp.com/

– Finally, let us know all your social media sites so your fans, old and new, can find and follow/like you!

On Instagram page, in addition to Bandcamp:

https://www.instagram.com/notturno_black_metal

– We, at The Metal Asylum, would like to thank you for your time. Is there is anything further that you would like to add?

I think we’ve said enough things. I thank you on behalf of Notturno for your interest and we hope to hear from you again in the future.

RIVERS OF NIHIL To Release Self-Titled Fifth Full-Length May 30th On Metal Blade Records

New Video/Single “House Of Light” Now Playing

“I feel like these songs are the perfect blend of all our albums, with all the fat cut away,” says founding guitarist Brody Uttley. “There are more technical songs that call back to The Conscious Seed Of Light and Monarchy sound, but with a more mature understanding of how to pace a song. There’s a fair bit of the Where Owls Know My Name and The Work-type experimental stuff, but with a more refreshed perspective on those styles for the current era of the band.”

On June 15th, 2023, the band released a new single, “The Sub-Orbital Blues,” the first track with Biggs handling lead vocals following the 2022 departure of singer Jake Dieffenbach. It was also the first track to  feature Thomas. A second single, “Hellbirds,” dropped on October 19th of that year. On April 29th, 2024, the band released the cut “Criminals” and an accompanying music video. Both “Criminals” and “The Sub-Orbital Blues” appear on Rivers Of Nihil.

The new album’s first single of 2025, “House Of Light,” is a track that “encapsulates the nature of what it is that we do perfectly while offering a different perspective on the sound with the new lineup,” explains founding member/guitarist Brody Uttley, who also plays piano and does the programming in the band. “Everything that our fans have come to love about our sound is demonstrated in this song with the new addition of Andy singing and Biggs on main vocals. It has the riffs, it has the big chorus, it has the prog, it has the solos, it has the sax. Just a real classic example of what we do as a band in 2025.”

Rivers Of Nihil also showcases additional musicians, including Patrick Corona on alto saxophone, Stephan Lopez on banjo, McFarland on cello, and a slate of other guest vocalists. Despite the fresh approach on Rivers Of Nihil however, the album fits neatly into the band’s discography. With Where Owls Know My Name (2018), RIVERS OF NIHIL transcended all labels applied to them, and with its 2021 follow-up, The Work, they forged further into new territory with Metal Injection calling the latter album “the group’s most cohesive, ambitious, meditative, and varied effort, with greater uses of philosophical significance and transcendental respites.”

Later this month, RIVERS OF NIHIL will kick off their Aggressive Progressive EU/UK headlining tour with support from Cynic, Beyond Creation and labelmates, Dååth. In May, the band will return to North American stages for another month-long headliner with support provided by Holy Fawn, Inter Arma, and Glacial Tomb.

ALIEN WEAPONRY Takes Aim at Social Media on New Single “1000 Friends”

Posted on by
Reply
“Alien Weaponry are back with a vengeance…” – Revolver Magazine 

New Zealand modern groove metal trio ALIEN WEAPONRY recently announced their heaviest, most powerful and mature offering to date, Te Rā, out March 28, 2025 via Napalm Records. In the hands of veteran producer/mixer Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Gojira, Megadeth) and featuring a guest vocal appearance from longtime ALIEN WEAPONRY champion Randy Blythe of Lamb Of God, Te Rā’s gnashing blend of groove, nu, math and thrash metal shines with anthemic choruses and refreshed technical skill.
 
Today, following the release of the album’s acclaimed first single, “Mau Moko” – a track Revolver, Metal Hammer, Heavy Consequence and others dubbed as one of the best new metal tracks upon release – the band returns again with second single, “1000 Friends”. Warning of the looming societal division and hidden dangers created by social media dependency, the track premieres alongside a brand new music video.
 
Frontman Lewis Raharuhi de Jong says about “1000 Friends”:
“‘1000 Friends’ encapsulates the shifting way we socialize today, and the impact it has on the human psyche. We can often feel disconnected from the outside world. The human mind wasn’t built to comprehend the world we are currently living in.”
Watch the official music video for “1000 Friends” here:

ALIEN WEAPONRY have solidified themselves as one of the greatest young metal bands of their generation with renewed musical tenacity and crucial messaging. Since releasing their acclaimed debut Tū (2018), the band have been lauded for their kinetic presence and sound, as well as their vital blend of culturally profound lyricism in both English and te reo Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand.
 
With their third full-length album, ALIEN WEAPONRY expand on their hallmark messages of cultural, societal and environmental resilience while delivering their most massive-sounding, focused musical output ever. Te Rā is a bold, unwavering cry for a future in which we can all take part in the legacy of peoples like the Māori and others all around us – people who, if they aren’t seen, most certainly need to be heard! Taken as a whole, Te Rā grapples with what it’s like to be caught in the pull of divergent cultures – not just for the descendants of colonized people, but for all of us.

On Te Rā, listeners can hear the band doubling-down on the aggression in the verses before applying temperance, especially in the case of “Taniwha”, a death metal-leaning banger featuring the particularly raw aforementioned guest vocal from Randy Blythe. Lyrically, there’s a noticeable tilt towards despondency, hopelessness, and frustration on Te Rā. While bassist Tūranga Porowini Morgan-Edmonds’ lyrics in Māori on songs like “Tama-nui-te-rā” and “Ponaturi” draw from the themes of history, battle lore and mysticism that made the first two albums so rich, frontman/guitarist Lewis Raharuhi de Jong’s English-language lyrics illustrate the impact when culture collides with disenfranchisement day to day. “Crown” and “Hanging by a Thread” take us into the headspace where struggle pushes people to the brink of desperation, while on “Blackened Sky” and “1000 Friends”, Lewis addresses universal woes like the looming threat of World War III and the damaging effects of social media. On album closer “Te Kore”, Tūranga dives into primordial nothingness at the root of the Māori origin story, while on “Mau Moko”, he finds the middle ground between these perspectives. As the lyrics honor the traditional Māori practice of face tattooing, they also delve into the social costs of maintaining customs that are at-odds with dominant cultural norms.
 

Te Rā track listing:
1. Crown   
2. Mau Moko   
3. 1000 Friends   
4. Hanging by a Thread   
5. Tama-nui-te-rā   
6. Myself to Blame   
7. Taniwha (feat. Randy Blythe)
8. Blackened Sky   
9. Te Riri o Tāwhirimātea   
10. Ponaturi

Sludge/Post-Metal Discovery TranscomaR Drops Dictatorship (Lyric Video)

Posted on by
Reply
Bochum’s sludge/post-metal duo TranscomaR is back with a powerful lyric video for “Dictatorship”. The track, taken from their album The Sea of Trees, offers fans a brutal critique of society through raw and visceral sound.
Dictatorship” dissects the human condition under oppressive systems, exploring themes of greed, addiction, and societal decay. The band’s unique blend of sludge and post-metal seethes with tension, delivering a heavy-hitting anthem that amplifies despair and rage with an unflinching intensity. Lyrically and sonically, the track captures humanity’s relentless self-destructive spiral and the cycles of suffering we seem unable to break free from.

TranscomaR is a two-piece band from Bochum, Germany, formed by friends Ramin and Tobias in 2018. They initially met through a mutual friend while living in an alternative house community, where Ramin often joined Tobias’ punk band to jam. Over time, their shared passion for music led them to form their band. After playing on local stages and facing pandemic restrictions, they recorded their debut album, The Sea of Trees, in 2022, which was released a year later on Bandcamp. Their sound blends grunge, sludge, and post-metal, featuring heavy, down-tuned guitars, intense shouting, and occasional noise storms.
