CHAOSTAR was conceived out of SEPTICFLESH guitarist Christos Antoniou’s longing to create music that reflects more on his aspect as an academy trained composer and go beyond the possibilities that his orchestral arrangements for SEPTICFLESH offer. ‘The Undivided Light’ comes as an invitation to a fascinating musical journey around the globe, which is equally true for space as well as time. With this fifth full-length album, CHAOSTAR take their experimentation another step further. Classic orchestration, traditional instruments, electronica, rock, and more are deconstructed by Christos only to be reassembled into something fresh and exciting.

Since the genre’s inception, black metal has been ruled by lone wolves. Individuals who blur the lines between “masterminds” and “madmen,” creating in solitude and willful confinement.
From first and second wave purveyors such as Bathory and Burzum to this century’s revivalists like Saor and Panopticon, these anomic souls have made incomparable contributions to the dark arts.
And in 2022, Bizarrekult paves a new yet familiar path, establishing itself as one of the cult visionaries of this decade. Meaning “The Lost War,” ‘Den Tapte Krigen’ thematically picks up the thread from where debut album ‘Vi Overlevde’ left off, while seeing a musical evolution as Bizarrekult continues to find and establish its identity within modern black metal.

CORRUPT MORAL ALTAR are an angry band. “Mechanical Tides” is an angry album full of angry songs. ‘Anger is an energy’, sounded the battle cry raised by former SEX PISTOLS frontman Johnny Rotten. CORRUPT MORAL ALTAR connected the dots and reviewed the forever undead spirit of original punk with their founding on the Merseyside in 2012. Filling in the blanks left by decades of musical evolution, the quartet added sludge, grind and hardcore elements to their sound. This fistful of aggression was slammed straight into the faces of their adversaries, creating shockwaves with the immediate release of their “Needle Drugs” demo in the year of their founding as well as the 2013 EPs “Luciferian Deathcult” and “Whiskey Sierra”, which received a glowing welcome in the UK press. CORRUPT MORAL ALTAR underlined their ambitions with intimidating live shows alongside renowned bands such as BRUTAL TRUTH, PSYCROPTIC, EXTREME NOISE TERROR, HOUR OF PENANCE, and more. Now the band is ready to unleash their first full-length “Mechanical Tides” in a worldwide blaze of fury. Open up for CORRUPT MORAL ALTAR and let the anger flow through you! Anger is an energy!

French quartet EXOCRINE have been prolifically writing their philosophical blend of ultra technical and extraordinarily rapid death metal for quite some years, but they’re far from done blasting fans with their take on the genre.
With new album ‘Legend’, it’s quite safe to say that the artistry has reached a status worthy of the release’s title. Intricate and otherworldly guitar-passages rush through absolutely destructive drum beats that make your heart pound a rhythm you’ve probably never felt before. Chug your way through deathly grows that make you go “OOF”!
As technically impressive as it is, the album is also a testament to EXOCRINE’s ability to spin a variety of elements on the technical death metal genre. Spiritually ascend into the band’s new dimension on ‘Legend’.

After 20 years in the metal scene, ATROX mark the occasion with their 5th album “Binocular”. Their new delight takes you through the twilight zone between Progressive Rock and Avantgarde Metal.Norwegian ATROX released their debut “Mesmerized” (Head Not Found) in 1997. Their two follow-ups “Contentum” (2000) and “Terrestrials” (2002) came out on Season of Mist. The music presented on these releases was more melodic and an experimental / avant-garde metal. The fourth album “Orgasm” (2003, Code666) marks the end of an era as it’s the last album with extravagant female vocalist Monika Edvardsen.“Binocular” shows an important change in the vocal department and an extensive use of electronics and computers. Atmospheric and energetic, groove based arrangements and catchy melodies wrapped up in a metallic symbiosis.

Limited Digipak edition.Great bands often rise from the ashes of another. Spawned from the remnants of British heavy rockers TAINT comes HARK. Throughout HARK’s debut album ‘Crystalline’, angular riffing, pummelling rhythms and dually melodic and unrelentingly ferocious vocals courtesy of former TAINT frontman (and acclaimed graphic artist) Jimbob Isaac lead to galloping passages that show the maturity of a band far more honed than their age belies. Featuring guest vocals from Neil Fallon (CLUTCH) and mixed by Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE), HARK’s ‘Crystalline’ is one of the best rock records in years!

WILDLIGHTS are entering the rock scene with a big bang and a timeless self-titled album. Their origin can be traced to Wilmington, North Carolina, which is a particularly burgeoning home of hard and rocking American music. At this event horizon, the heavily creative forces of ASG frontman Jason Shi and drummer Johnny Collins from THUNDERLIP! collided and gave birth to a direct, honest sound that draws equally from driving, melodic, Californian spawned desert rock roots as well as the heavy, blues-based riffing of the South. The duo paid strong attention to details right from the start and therefore chose to collaborate with renowned sound engineer Matt Hyde (SLAYER, MONSTER MAGNET, FU MANCHU, CHILDREN OF BODOM) on the production of ‘Wildlights’, which gave this rock gem a sparkling classic cut. The stunning artwork of this debut album has been created by the brilliant Brian Mercer, whose work for LAMB OF GOD, EYEHATEGOD, and BLACK TUSK to name but a few has given the artist an excellent reputation. WILDLIGHTS deliver a soundtrack to life that resonates with hope. ‘Wildlights’ contains twelve masterfully crafted rock songs and no fillers. Lean back, close your eyes, listen well, and judge for yourself.
