In what will be presented as one of the most confrontational, intimidating, and unique extreme metal albums to be released this year, “Indoctrine”, which consists of the triumvirate of PRIMORDIAL vocalist A. A. Nemtheanga, drummer J. Read (REVENGE, CONQUEROR, AXIS OF ADVANCE), and guitarist C. Ross (AXIS OF ADVANCE, REVENGE) have delivered an intense and challenging audial manifestation about one man’s descent into madness, untimely vengeance, and inevitably finding salvation through martyrdom.
Following their acclaimed “Stones/Salts” 7”EP, “Mounds Of Ash” builds upon the sound forged with the now sold-out EP and comes across as a dark, apocalyptic, punishing yet introspective audial manifestation, a thrust into utter darkness serving as a soundtrack to the fall of man.

A much more oppressive, ambient, and atmospheric plunge into the vortex than its predecessor “Seepia”, “Outre” is a much more disturbing and surreal scenario painted within a nightmarish vision like no other death metal band today can even dream (if they even dare to) to conjure up.
Formed by Ryan Lipynsky (also of UNEARTHLY TRANCE of course) after the imminent demise of THRALLDOM (one of the most important bands in the history of U.S. black metal), THE HOWLING WIND became a further exploration of Lipynsky’s black metal psyche, allowing him to further delve and experiment within said genre.
The crushing follow-up to “Fulfill The Curse” is now out, Finland’s HOODED MENACE delivering a monstrous album which features the heaviest and doomiest material mastermind Lasse Pyykko has ever delivered.
“The Tenant” is a reflection and progression of all that LUDICRA have brought to the fore with their three previous and wondrous works in which said result culminates in LUDICRA’s most epic, progressive, and accomplished release to date.
