Brutal Death OPHIOLATRY Release Harrowing Video Clip For New Single “Death Tour” Off New Album “Serpent’s Verdict” Out June 2025 (WormHoleDeath Records)

Posted on April 24, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Brazilian extreme metal outfit Ophiolatry has released a new music video, “Death Tour”, the first single from their upcoming album “Serpent’s Verdict”, due June 6, 2025, via Wormholedeath Records. This latest visual offering is inspired by Greek mythology, depicting the journey of a fallen warrior’s soul through the realm of death. As the spirit is carried across the River Styx, it approaches the gates of Hades, where the warrior’s tribe awaits his arrival, welcoming him into the afterlife. They comment further on the single and the video:

“The warrior perished, part of his body bathed in the blood of the unworthy. He doesn’t beg. He doesn’t hesitate. The ancestors whisper his name as his spirit ascends, enveloped in the smoke of rituals. The witches dance around the burning fire, invoking Charon’s presence. The coins reflect in his lifeless eyes, an offering to the boatman. From the depths of Lake Styx. The serpent rises, its coils moving like time itself. As he breathes, the warrior’s confusion dissolves into clarity. He steps onto the distant shore, where his tribe awaits him in reverent silence. There are no words; They are not necessary. They were already waiting to cross the gates of Hades together; The end is just
the beginning.”

“Death Tour” represents a sonic evolution for Ophiolatry, balancing their technical prowess with a more atmospheric, tribally influenced approach to extreme metal. The video clip amplifies these themes through striking imagery that merges Greek Mythology with the brutality of modern death metal aesthetics.

Each track on “Serpent’s Verdict” functions as part of an immersive narrative experience. It is an invocation of the past and a battle cry for the future. With the release of “Death Tour,” Ophiolatry continues to build anticipation for the full album, which promises to be one of the most devastating extreme metal releases of 2025. It is recommended for fans of Cryptopsy, Suffocation, and Death.

LIK Unleashes “Deceased” Video

Posted on April 23, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Swedish death metallers, LIK, today unleash their new video for “Deceased.” The track comes off their brilliantly brutal Necro full-length, released on April 18th via Metal Blade Records.

Within Necro‘s ten tracks, LIK – whose name translates to “corpse” in Swedish – has created a seamless album, diverse in tempo but without losing any of their blood-soaked intensity and relentless in-your-face-attitude listeners have come to expect. There are twists and turns that keep LIK on a progressive path without straying from their old-school trademark sounds inspired by the godfathers Dismember, At The Gates and, of course, Entombed.

Necro is the musical equivalent of a classic shock-horror movie that‘s drenched in blood and gore and packed with over-the-top extremities. Delve beyond the zombified cover art created by Stockholm-based tattooist and artist Jens Olsson (Ink Fanatics), LIK‘s Necro serves as a reminder of just how special and exciting the genre is: packed with blood-curdling fantasy stories about war, death, zombies, world apocalypse, and murder all stacked with disgustingly rotten riffs.

Lauds Metal Hammer Germany of the release, “…LIK tells us blood-soaked, imaginative stories peppered with everything good death metal needs: zombies, necrophilia, murder, death, war, and dystopian end-time scenarios that culminate in total decay. Necro sounds classic yet contemporary. Not dusty, rotten, or mothballed, but fresh, spicy, and deadly precise. Swedish death metal as it couldn’t be more Swedish.” Dead Rhetoric champions the band‘s “finest album to date,” adding, “It‘s utterly abrasive, yet it never blurs together due to the way they can weave in melodies in just the right proportions. Necro is an absolute winner for anyone seeking death metal done right,” while Metal Temple crowns Necro “the Swedish death metal album of the year,” further noting, “It captures the spirit of the genre with flawless execution, proving that LIK stands at the top of the modern scene.”

Comments vocalist/guitarist Tomas Åkvik on “Deceased,” “This is the opening track of the album and it’s a total Entombed homage. It has everything from mid-tempo to skank beats. Lyric-wise, it‘s about a guy who tries to come back from the dead to avenge his death. “

Watch LIK‘s “Deceased” video HERE:

Necro was recorded at NBS Studio (AKA Necromorbus Studio) in Söderfors, two hours from the band‘s home city. Once again using uber-producer Lawrence Mackrory (Meshuggah, Katatonia, High Parasite, Decapitated), all music was recorded live over a three-day period, before Åkvik headed to Uppsala to record his vocals at Mackrory‘s Rorysound Studios. Mackrory has worked with LIK since their 2015 debut Mass Funeral Evocation and throughout their Metal Blade Records‘ career that started with 2018‘s Carnage. It‘s clear upon first listen that with Necro, the quartet have produced some of the best work of their decade-plus long career.
Necro features guest appearances by Linnea Landstedt (Tyranex, Ice Age), Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost, Bloodbath), and Lawrence Mackrory (F.K.Ü.).

KRATORNAS Announces “Ravaged by Hurakaan” Vinyl & Cassette Demo Ahead of Upcoming Album “God of the Tribes” Out August 2025

Posted on April 23, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Saskatoon, Canada’s Kratornas is set to unleash a special vinyl demo on May 20th and remix cassette on May 30th, 2025, through Grathila Records. These releases serve as a prelude to the highly anticipated full-length album “God of the Tribes,” scheduled for release on August 20th, 2025. The mastermind behind Kratornas comments:

“This album marks a turning point for KRATORNAS. Not because it tries to be “different” but because it couldn’t have come out any other way. Every part of this release came together naturally. The sound, the pacing, the tension… it wrote itself, shaped by instinct and intention. This album is unlike the usual Kratornas, so anyone expecting it to sound like “early Kratornas” will be disappointed.

The 7″ vinyl demo features “Ravaged by Hurakaan” on Side A, with Side B containing an instrumental “Drum and Bass” version of the same track. This vinyl-exclusive release will not be available in digital format, making it a true collector’s item for dedicated fans. Simultaneously, Kratornas will release a remix of the track on cassette. Both the vinyl and the upcoming album were mastered by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity).

“Ravaged by Hurakaan” serves as track #3 on the upcoming full-length album “God of the Tribes,” giving fans an early taste of what to expect from the new material. Unlike previous Kratornas releases known for their “superfast brutality,” this new material focuses on build-up and atmosphere, showcasing a significant evolution in sound.

The new material features previously unexplored instrumentation, including a 7-string guitar for L/R channels and a 6-string fretless bass, moving away from blast beats and heavily distorted guitars toward a more nuanced approach. Black Metal fans, especially those with an interest in “being progressive”, should take note.

Vinyl and cassette pre-orders are available at https://kratornas.bandcamp.com/album/ravaged-by-hurakaan-7ep-2025

RIVERS OF NIHIL Presents “Water & Time” Video/Single

Posted on April 17, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

“Water & Time” is the newest single from progressive death metal alchemists RIVERS OF NIHIL. The track comes off of the band‘s eponymous fifth full-length, set for release on May 30th via Metal Blade Records.

Comments founding guitarist Brody Uttley. “’Water & Time‘ is a song that we put together before most of the rest of this album. The working title on it was ’TFF‘ meaning ’Tears For Fears‘ because in a lot of ways I feel like it‘s our stab at writing a big chorus style synth laden song much like those kinds of bands. Initially it was a song that I wrote out totally on a synthesizer, just as an experiment really, not thinking it would be a RIVERS song. However, when I heard the main melody back, I knew we were on to something cool, so we filled out the song with ’metal band stuff‘ to get what you hear in the final version.”

Watch RIVERS OF NIHIL‘s “Water & Time” video HERE:

Comments founding guitarist Brody Uttley. “’American Death‘ is a title that we‘ve been throwing around and printing on our T-shirts since 2013. We figured it was finally time to write a song with that title, and given the subject matter of the lyrics, it would only make sense for this song to be a true ass beater. It‘s definitely the most true form ’heavy‘ song of these singles, so we are very much looking forward to playing it live.”

Rivers Of Nihil was created in a very “rock n‘ roll” manner. “On 2021‘s The Work, I wrote a lot of the record on the piano and then the band filled in the gaps,” explains Uttley. “On this new record, I wanted to make sure that this stuff would hit hard live with just the four of us before adding in all of the sparkly auxiliary ’frosting‘ on top.”.

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 still 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.”
Writes Revolver in an early preview of the record, “…their forthcoming self-titled album… specializes in metronome-exploding kick work, riffs brawnier than a full-grown Kodiak, and a vocal tandem of soaring highs (guitarist Andy Thomas) and demonic lows (bassist Adam Biggs).”

Rockshots Records – Black Metal Storytellers MARGANTHA Unveils Title Track Off Debut EP “Blood Moon Sacrifice” Out June 2025

Posted on April 16, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Rockshots Records proudly presents MARGANTHA, a black metal band born from a shared artistic vision rooted in darkness, atmosphere, and storytelling. Conceived by experienced musicians from the extreme music scene, the project was founded on the idea of anonymity, removing names, past projects, and expectations to let the music speak for itself.

Their debut EP, Blood Moon Sacrifice, will be released on June 27, 2025. It is a concept work based on a legend passed down orally through generations. The tale, told to the vocalist as a child by his grandmother, tells of a werewolf haunting a hunter’s village at the foot of a remote mountain range. This myth gave birth to a collection of songs designed not simply to be listened to but to be experienced in full immersion.

The EP was mixed and mastered at Sonic Train Studio by legendary guitarist and producer Andy LaRocque (King Diamond), adding an extra layer of depth and sonic intensity to the work.

The band comments:

“We always begin with the concept. The music follows naturally, often starting with a guitar riff or arpeggio, and evolving through a collaborative process. We’re not interested in technical exhibitionism. Every choice serves the narrative. The resulting material is raw, evocative, and direct—true to the spirit of black metal, but enriched with depth and atmosphere.”

MARGANTHA’s sound draws inspiration from the evocative power of Mgła, the intensity of Uada and Gaerea, and the epic darkness of Naglfar and Behemoth, while also channeling the spirit of legendary pioneers like Celtic Frost, Venom, and King Diamond. The songs are structured to be memorable, immediate, and fully aligned with the conceptual vision of the record.

While the band is just beginning its journey, their identity is already clear—both musically and visually. Their approach to live shows reflects the same energy: tight, relentless, and impactful. Inspired by iconic performances where the music speaks louder than words, Margantha aims to deliver live sets that are immersive from start to finish, with minimal breaks and maximum emotional charge.

The first single and title track from Blood Moon Sacrifice is out now.

Margantha is an Italian-Finnish band formed by three musicians united by a passion for black metal and horror aesthetics. The project aims to create a powerful, evocative, and dramatic sound inspired by bands like Mgła, Ensiferum, Behemoth, and 1349, while incorporating atmospheric and melodic elements into their approach.

The band’s sound is a haunting and captivating tribute to black metal, enriched with lyrics inspired by horror and Gothic atmospheres reminiscent of the 19th century. Their music evokes a journey into the darkest and most mysterious corners of the soul, characterized by somber tones and lyrics that delve into the macabre and the supernatural.

Margantha draws inspiration from art in all its forms: from the literature of Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, and Stevenson, to the paintings of Caravaggio, Bosch, and Turner. The band’s visual identity also reflects this artistic inclination, with carefully crafted photos designed to mimic the style of classical paintings, aligning with the dark and ominous atmospheres central to the project.

Born from the union of two distinct cultures, Italian and Finnish, Margantha blends the musical and artistic traditions of both countries to create a unique sonic experience.

A-Z returns with new album

Posted on April 16, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Hard rock band A-Z returns with their sophomore album ’A2Z2’ out on June 6, 2025 via Metal Blade Records. Spearheaded by legendary drummer Mark Zonder (Fates Warning, Warlord) and along with former Fates Warning bandmate Ray Alder on vocals, ’A2Z2’ builds on the groundwork laid on the acclaimed 2022 self-titled debut album.

The title “Nothing is Over”—the first single from A2Z2–serves as a de facto statement announcing the quintet‘s 10-song sophomore effort and musical M.O. It‘s the initial track Mark Zonder and guitarist Nick Van Dyk (Redemption) wrote when they began working on A2Z2 with vocalist Ray Alder. Music trends may be ever-changing, but classic rock ’n‘ roll is indeed never over, and A-Z remains committed to heavy music that‘s sophisticated but hooky and accessible.

Helping achieve those aural goals are bassist Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai/Ring of Fire/Warlord), Italian guitarist Simone Mularoni (A2Z2 mixing/mastering, DGM) and keyboard player James Waldo (Alcatrazz/New England). “Nothing is Over” is heavier and deeper than what the band explored on their debut LP, with a bit more prog playing, but still featuring a big chorus hook and plush vocals. Alder‘s lyrics were inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s short story The Outsider.

Watch the video for “Nothing Is Over” HERE:

The band known as A-Z began when Zonder started working on material in early 2020 with a clear vision for the band he wanted to put together: “I was thinking beer commercials, car commercials and Cobra Kai. I wanted a very accessible band that would appeal to the masses,” he says. The band‘s name—standing for Alder thru Zonder—was an easy choice that would never pigeonhole the lineup‘s sound. “What I liked is that it did not limit what someone would think of the band,” says Zonder. “If we named the band Scary Serpent it would give a certain direction and didn‘t want people to prejudge us.”

The band members are legendarily prolific, which allows for an amazing dynamic where, as Zonder explains, “when you find the right guys, you just let them do whatever they want. Everybody‘s a seasoned pro and all the different ingredients come together, make it what it is. That live and recording experience allows A-Z to instinctively know how not to step on each other musically.”

“We‘re all about the songs, the band, not what each of us does in it. It‘s simple,” they all agree. “It’s about the music as a whole,” says Zonder, “I guarantee you everybody’s into something completely different musically, and that’s where the magic to me comes from, taking different influences and everybody doing what they do to create A-Z. We‘re not 20-year-old kids. We‘re at the point where if you’re gonna go, just go big. And that‘s what we‘ve done on A2Z2.”

BYZANTINE announce new album

Posted on April 15, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Charleston, West Virginia metal veterans BYZANTINE will release their long-awaited new full-length, Harbingers, on June 13th via Metal Blade Records.

Produced by Peter Wichers (Soilwork, All That Remains, Nevermore), Harbingers delivers nine tracks totaling forty-five minutes of deep lyrical wisdom alongside equally hefty riffs delivered seamlessly by one of the most commanding and unsung lineups to emerge from the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal movement in the early 2000s. Now a five-piece for the first time ever featuring Ojeda, alongside former guitarist Tony Rohrbough, bassist Ryan Postlethwait, veteran guitarist Brian Henderson, and drummer Matt Bowles, with Harbingers, BYZANTINE offers the crown jewel in their impressive seven-album discography. Notes founding frontman Chris “OJ” Ojeda, “After twenty-five years of riding the struggle bus, we‘re ready to show the rock and metal world what we‘re truly about.”

The album cover, designed by mixed-media artist Ashley Hoey, beautifully depicts Irene of Athens — the mother of Emperor Constantine and the first female empress of the Byzantine Empire. This focus on a maternal ruler eloquently ties into the album‘s title, Harbingers, which means “ones who usher in great change.”

The record‘s first single, “Floating Chrysanthema,” envisions a bleak dystopian future where artificial intelligence becomes sentient and overpowers mankind, essentially enslaving us all. “Our bassist Ryan brought this song to the band,” says Ojeda, “and we thought it hit like a sledgehammer making it the perfect introduction to our new music. Peter Wichers had a big hand in helping craft this song into its final iteration.”

Watch BYZANTINE‘s video for “Floating Chrysanthema” HERE

It has taken years of ups and downs for BYZANTINE to reach the point of creating Harbingers. Discovered early on by Lamb Of God‘s Chris Adler, the band quickly released their debut full-length, The Fundamental Component, in 2004. The record boasted a raw fusion of Bay Area thrash and Southern-tinged groove metal and set the tone for their future sound. Their 2005-released …And They Shall Take Up Serpents offering marked an even more blistering evolution. However, turmoil ultimately led to BYZANTINE‘s breakup, announced just one day after the release of their third album, 2007‘s prophetic Oblivion Beckons.

Reforming to release the independent albums Byzantine (2013) and To Release Is To Resolve (2015), the band saw the latter dominate SiriusXM‘s Hard Attack Devil‘s Dozen for weeks, also earning them the #1 spot on CMJ‘s Loud Rock Chart. Notably, BYZANTINE became only the second independent band to achieve this feat following Clutch‘s indie release, Earth Rocker.
In 2017, BYZANTINE made their Metal Blade debut with The Cicada Tree, faultlessly merging multiple genres into their progressive groove sound, a signature blend now synonymous with the band. With Harbingers raising the stakes and a revitalized lineup in place, Ojeda confidently states, “If you‘ve slept on BYZANTINE for the past twenty-five years, Harbingers will awaken you.”

TRIPTYKON PROUDLY ANNOUNCE A ’DARK SHROUD OVER LONDON‘ EVENTS AND VINYL REISSUES

Posted on April 15, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Avant-garde extreme metal act Triptykon, the group fronted by singer/guitarist Tom Gabriel Warrior (Celtic Frost / Hellhammer / Triumph Of Death) will host a series of events in London‘s, Camden Town to coincide with their headlining performance at the iconic Roundhouse as part of the annual, Incineration Festival on Saturday 3rd May. Upon request by the festival, the set will be a UK exclusive of Celtic Frost‘s music, a gesture of reverence for what has shaped the path and a morbid recognition of the present.

Tom G Warrior – “Celtic Frost‘s path would have been a very different – likely far more subdued – one if it hadn‘t been for the then largely London-based UK music press from the mid-1980‘s on. This, along with uncounted crucial musical influences in my youth, was the basis of a life-long bond between the UK and all of my musical endeavors. It is thus with utmost pleasure that we in Triptykon will perform a very distinct Celtic Frost-based concert at the iconic Roundhouse.”

On Friday 2nd May long overdue vinyl re-press versions of the legendary first two Triptykon albums “Eparistera Daimones” (2010) and “Melana Chasmata” (2014) via Prowling Death Records / Century Media Records will be released. Proven to be genre-redefining, modern milestones and more than ever relevant for the extreme Metal movement, the new Triptykon vinyl versions will be available in their original packaging with cover art by H.R. Giger, as Gatefold 2LP editions on exclusive coloured 180g vinyl.

To celebrate Triptykon‘s headlining performance at Incineration Festival and the reissue of these seminal albums, there will be a number of events taking place in Camden across the weekend to mark the occasion. Tickets for Incineration are available here https://incinerationfest.com/

·       Raven Records, London‘s premier heavy metal record store, will host a Triptykon signing session with the band from 2pm on Saturday 3rd May and is open to all.

Rockshots Records – DYING AWKWARD ANGEL Release New Single “Music Kills”

Posted on April 11, 2025 by Metal Planet Media

Italian melodic death metal act Dying Awkward Angel unleash their brand-new single “Music Kills”, a powerful mid-tempo composition that highlights the band’s continued evolution while remaining firmly rooted in the legacy of Scandinavian death metal.

Characterized by a raw and uncompromising sound, “Music Kills” draws inspiration from the early ‘90s Swedish scene—specifically, bands such as Dismember and Entombed—and channels the iconic HM-2 guitar tone into a modern, groove-driven framework. The result is a track that is both punishing and memorable, blending brutal riffs, visceral vocals, and an ominous atmosphere.

Lyrically, the song delves into the ambivalent nature of music itself, exploring its potential to both uplift and consume. This thematic depth adds an introspective dimension to the band’s sonic aggression, further establishing their unique voice within the international melodic death metal landscape.

Following their critically praised 2018 full-length “Absence of Light”, “Music Kills” marks a significant step forward for Dying Awkward Angel. While known for their fast-paced and relentless songwriting, the band now embraces a darker, more deliberate approach—one that prioritizes atmosphere and weight without sacrificing intensity.

The release of “Music Kills” also marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. In the coming weeks, the band will unveil further details surrounding their upcoming full-length album, which promises to expand on the themes and sonic direction explored in this latest track.

For fans of Dismember, Entombed, At The Gates, and all those drawn to the raw edge of melodic death metal, “Music Kills” stands as a compelling statement of intent.

LISTEN to “Music Kills”:

Formed in 1998, Dying Awkward Angel draws inspiration from the ’90s extreme metal scene of Gothenburg, the UK, and the USA, with influences from bands like In Flames, At the Gates, Carcass, Slayer, Death, Pantera, and Metallica. The band’s early releases, “Dying Awkward Angel” and “Ghost at the Spine,” received excellent critical acclaim. After some line-up changes, the band stabilized in 2013 and recorded the full-length album “Waiting for Punishment”.

In 2015, the EP “Madness Rising” showcased a more mature and modern songwriting mixing old-school brutality with melodic incursions. In 2017, with the addition of Michele Spallieri (Kenos) as the vocalist, the band released the album “Absence Of Light” in 2018 (Extreme Metal Music / Rockshots Records), distributed across Europe, the USA, and Japan. Over the years, the band has shared the stage with renowned names such as Impaled Nazarene, **enos, Decapitated, Necronomicon, Forgotten Tomb, and many others.

But now the time has come to finally release the remaining four songs from ’Metal Gods‘ sessions on this brand-new EP entitled ’Thunder in the Night‘.
