Atmospheric Black/Epic Doom Metal Project Divine Sovereign Signs With Wormholedeath

Posted on March 27, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Polish atmospheric black/epic doom metal project Divine Sovereign, the brainchild of visionary musician Cezary Rochnowski, announces a groundbreaking record deal with Wormholedeath Records. The debut album “Dawn Of A New Age” is set to transport listeners to the mysterious planet Autaxia on May 9, 2025.

Divine Sovereign emerged in 2023 with a mission to craft monumental compositions. Inspired by luminaries such as Ethereal Shroud, Panopticon, Gallowbraid, and Atlantean Kodex, Rochnowski’s sonic landscapes combine crushing doom, soaring atmospheres, and intricate black gaze textures.

The album invites listeners to explore Autaxia, an enigmatic planet where the remnants of a tragically fallen civilization reveal a haunting tale. Dawn of a New Age delves into the dual nature of religious zeal—both as a unifying force and as a catalyst for societal collapse.

The story unfolds through a cinematic lens: a research vessel lands on a desolate world and uncovers the ruins of Autaxia. Archival fragments recount the rise and catastrophic fall of a once-great society consumed by religious extremism. Each track serves as a chilling archaeological excavation, peeling back layers of historical trauma and philosophical depth.

‘Dawn Of A New Age’ isn’t just an album – it’s an existential expedition into the heart of human belief systems. Divine Sovereign examines how spiritual passion can simultaneously inspire remarkable resilience and trigger devastating societal collapse.

Fans can preview the album’s atmospheric landscape through the audiostream video for Dawn Of A New Age:

Deathgoat unleash Dragged Into Realms Below – death metal supreme on Xtreem Music!

Posted on March 27, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Emerging from the fetid depths of the Finnish underground in 2015, Deathgoat’s first scream against the light came in the form of the Rotten Salvation demo in 2018. However, it was with their full length debut album, 2021s Regurgitated Into Existence, that the full power and potential of this gathering of devils became apparent – their mastery of old school death metal was unquestionable. Now, at long last, the Finns have returned with a new album that utterly epitomises everything that their chosen genre represents. This is the absolute essence of death metal, pure rot and decay, this is Dragged Into Realms Below!

The chilling notes of intro ‘Alkulima’ sink their claws into your flesh and tear you from your safe, secure existence, casting you into the cold earth of the midnight cemetery. Before you can orientate yourself ‘Pestilent Retribution’ is upon you, a rampaging assault of Scandinavian death metal that severs every tendon and shatters every bone. Devastating heaviness and machine gun intensity rage beneath twisting occult solos, while a voice from the pit intones the many ways in which to die. There is not a song on this magnificent collection that fails to deliver skin crawling atmosphere and utterly addictive, snarling riffs and rhythms. From the imperious chainsaw slaughter of ‘Monoxide’ to the magnificent conclusion of ‘Dragged Into Realms Below’ itself – a track that dominates and towers over your broken body like a king amongst the tombstones – this is an album you will not soon forget.

Dragged Into Realms Below will be released by Xtreem Music, champions of old school death metal, on June 10th and it will be essential listening for anyone dedicated to the music of the grave. With a sound carved from dry bone and putrefaction and a cover created by Bram Bruyneel (Officium Triste, Hideous Divinity etc) that invokes ancient ceremony and inherited nightmares, Deathgoat have delivered a work of immaculate decomposition.
