It garnered critical acclaim from Clash, DIY and Drowned in Sound, with the song On a Dais being featured on the US version of the TV show Shameless.

Wylderness have played shows for Huw Stephens, Sonic Cathedral, Swn Festival and support with Acid Mothers Temple.

The Cardiff band’s second album, Big Plans for a Blue World (2022), was recorded with an expanded line up and featured added layers of vintage synths and clarinet. It placed no.28 in Far Out Magazine’s Best Albums of 2022 and charted in the North American College & Community Radio Chart.

What’s that? A new song from the Jesus Lizard that isn’t on RACK?

‘Cost Of Living’ is out now on streaming platforms.

“Simply because I wrote the words to ‘Cost of Living’ doesn’t mean that I know exactly what it’s about. I think it has to do with the dread and self-loathing that addicts experience on a very regular basis. You can pick whichever type of addict you choose.” – David Yow

“A friend asked me if we had any tricked-out, odd timing type things with twists and turns, and I said ‘Yeah, I think so….’” – Duane

Swiss black metal enigma PAYSAGE D’HIVER reveal the harsh, frost-bitten track ‘Verinnerlichung’ (‘Internalisation’) as the second epic single taken from their forthcoming third album Die Berge (‘The Mountains’), which is scheduled for release on November 8, 2024.

PAYSAGE D’HIVER comment: “The title of our new single ‘Verinnerlichung’ means internalisation”, mastermind Wintherr reveals. “The album Die Berge describes the wanderer’s final journey. As is allegedly often the case when faced with death, his life story plays out before the wanderer’s inner eye while he walks and he internalises it."

Following the announcement of new album The Crying Out of Things, out November 8th, The Body have shared the heavyweight single ‘Removal.’ Digging deep into the duo’s eclectic influences and truly omnivorous taste, ‘Removal’ smelts industrial noise and earth-shattering dub pressure down into a mutant rhythm track. The track unfolds from hypnotic coils of chest-rattling drums and hazy vocal samples echoing out through the dancehall before descending into room-razing, coruscating noise driven by guest vocalist Ben Eberle’s caustic howls.

From The Body’s origins, incorporating unorthodox methods to achieve an oppressive atmosphere has been essential to their alchemy. Full choirs, unexpected sound samples, 70s-inspired horn lines, dub drum beats and diverse guest performances have speckled their varied and eclectic repertoire, the common thread being a complex webs of distortion and noise. The Crying Out of Things harnesses elements from their ground breaking catalogue: the expansive ecstatic distortion and live energy of I’ve Seen All I Need To See, the ambitious layering and arrangements on I Have Fought Against It, But I Can’t Any Longer, and the corroded pop edge of No One Deserves Happiness into one compact work. Guest performances include vocalist Ben Eberle, horn player Dan Blacksburg, and recent collaborator Felicia Chen add essential textural range. The Crying Out Of Things makes clear The Body’s distinct power to convey a dark range of emotions, thought inventive arrangements, dynamics, and sound selections.

Greek black metal collective Eldingar is excited to announce the release of their second album, Lysistrata, due out on November 1st via Vinyl Store. Following the success of their 2021 debut Maenads, the band’s latest effort builds on their intense and philosophical approach to music.

The band shared their thoughts on the track: “’ODE’ is a hymn to the enduring pain and the human struggle to assimilate grief, often finding it difficult to express sorrow through tears. The lyrics touch on the emotional states that can lead people to despair, and in some cases, to suicide. Psychological dead ends, a timeless affliction, plague humanity and ultimately bring destruction—both in our era and throughout history.”

Lysistrata delves into themes of the dissolution of armies and the rejection of power, while exploring emotional liberation from submission. Eldingar’s music combines anti-war sentiments and reverence for nature, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek philosophy and weaving them into their sound.

The ever-enigmatic Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced their new album in suitably oblique form – only, their message is loud and clear here. There’s no press hype for the album in their accompanying statement, but no explanation is required when it comes to the their focus: the album’s title alone speaks for itself. NO​ ​TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28​,​340 DEAD. This is, of course, the number of Gazan casualties since 7th October 2023. That number now stands at in excess of 41,000.

The final track on the album, ‘GREY RUBBLE – GREEN SHOOTS’ is an expansive seven-minute piece which balances darkness and hope.

The accompanying statement reads as follows, and you can hear the track below:

THE PLAIN TRUTH==
we drifted through it, arguing.
every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom.
we sat down together and wrote it in one room,
and then sat down in a different room, recording.
NO TITLE= what gestures make sense while tiny bodies fall? what context? what broken melody?
and then a tally and a date to mark a point on the line, the negative process, the growing pile.
the sun setting above beds of ash
while we sat together, arguing.
the old world order barely pretended to care.
this new century will be crueler still.
war is coming.
don’t give up.
pick a side.
hang on.
love.
GY!BE

APTORIAN DEMON have announced the details of their sophomore full-length Liv tar slutt (‘Life Ends’), which will be released on November 15, 2024.

The underground Norwegian black metal act from Trondheim also unleashes a first advance track taken from Liv tar slutt. The single ‘Når livet tar slutt’ (‘When Life Ends’) is available here:

PTORIAN DEMON hail from Trondheim, Norway. They were founded by vocalist, guitarist and sole member Storhetsvanviddets Mester, who has also been known as Ghâsh.

APTORIAN DEMON embody black metal in its original bleak and raw form. Their mastermind is neither apologetic about this, nor about the hateful, misanthropic, and satanic content. This is what black metal is about. Storhetsvanviddets Mester is a lone wolf, who does not want to be associated with previous bands or the Nidrosian scene.

APTORIAN DEMON have previously released the EP Angst, jammer og fortvilelse in 2005 and the debut album Libertus (2012), which gained the band a dedicated following in the underground. Naturally, there are no social media outlets.

APTORIAN DEMON have deigned the time to be right for their sophomore full-length. Entitled Liv tar slutt (‘Life Ends’), this album keeps every ‘promise’ of a strong black metal statement made by the previous releases and will delight dark souls with its cold, harsh, and razor-edged songs. This is Norwegian black metal! Take it or leave it!

RAT LORD, the Norwegian trio known for their ferocious energy and tongue-in-cheek approach, is back with a brand-new single, ‘Now Diabetical’.

“If you dig the idea of grindcore and powerviolence while poking fun at black metal, Rat Lord is gonna be your new favorite band,” says Decibel scribe Addison Herron-Wheeler about this unorthodox Norwegian act.

Following the success of their debut album This Is Not A Record, Rat Lord returns with the brilliantly titled Blazed In The Northern Sky. The band—comprising guitarist/vocalist Yngve Andersen, drummer Sigurd Haakaas (both from Blood Command), and bassist Martine Green—continues to push boundaries with their unique blend of powerviolence and grindcore.

The full album is set to drop on August 30th via Loyal Blood Records, but you can get an early taste of the chaos with the new track ‘Now Diabetical’ here:

The band comments: “‘Now Diabetical’ is a song about eating healthy, so you don’t catch diabetes type 2, which is a big problem for some. The title may or may not be making fun of Satyricon’s ‘Now Diabolical.’”

The follow-up to the band’s 2022 debut album This Is Not A Record, sees RAT LORD churning out the same gritty and destructive powerviolence/grind sound that received strong praise from various publications along their humorous lyrical content, this time parodying some of the most famous songs and events from the Norwegian Black Metal history, the album title for instance clearly nods at Darkthrone’s A Blaze in the Northern Sky.
