5th album from 2014 by the Brazilian UNEARTHLY, an intense blast of Blackened Death Metal with strong influence from the modern European extreme sound, combining dark riffs, explosive drums and a powerful, dense production. “The Unearthly” shows the band in a phase of stylistic consolidation, reinforcing their blend of aggressive Black Metal with contemporary Death Metal structures.
The album alternates passages of direct brutality with denser and more elaborate atmospheres, building a sound that is dark, epic and violent at the same time. A solid release within the Brazilian modern Black/Death Metal scene.
Recommended for fans of BEHEMOTH, BELPHEGOR, HATE and MARDUK. [Digipack]
Debut album from 2017 by the British VENOM INC., a band formed by former classic members of VENOM associated with the late 80s and early 90s era. A fierce blast of Speed Metal, Thrash Metal and Blackened Heavy Metal that revives the rawest, most primitive and streetwise essence of VENOM’s legacy.
“Avé” brings together this historic lineup, delivering dirty riffs, direct rhythms and a blasphemous, combative attitude that connects straight back to the spirit of old-school extreme Metal, while featuring a more modern production and a slightly more developed approach.
The album sounds raw, aggressive and uncompromising, functioning as a spiritual continuation of VENOM’s classic chaos rather than a simple tribute. Recommended for fans of VENOM, MANTAR, DESASTER and NIFELHEIM.

2nd album from 2017 by this Russian band and an ambitious conceptual work that further established SLEEPING WOODLAND within the European Viking Metal and Folk Metal scene. Released six years after the band's debut, "To the Northern Seas" was the result of a lengthy songwriting process during which Yuri Ovchinnikov and Andrey Koshevoy created an extensive saga inspired by Norse mythology, Viking legends and the frozen landscapes of the far north.
Musically, the album blends epic passages, cinematic atmospheres, Folk melodies and highly narrative compositions. Rather than focusing solely on aggression, SLEEPING WOODLAND favors expansive and evocative songwriting where acoustic sections, solemn choirs and adventurous arrangements coexist naturally. The result is a richly textured album filled with northern spirit, reflecting influences from acts such as BATHORY, MOONSORROW and ENSIFERUM while retaining its own distinct identity.
Recommended for fans of: MOONSORROW, ENSIFERUM, BATHORY, FALKENBACH.
Compilation released in 2009 by Madrid's TEITANBLOOD, gathering the demo “Genocide Chants to Apolokian Dawn” (2004) together with the tracks originally featured on their legendary split EPs with PROCLAMATION and NECROS CHRISTOS. “Black Putrescence of Evil” documents the band's earliest and most savage years, capturing the raw beginnings of one of the most extreme and revered acts in contemporary Death/Black Metal.
The material showcases the band at its most primitive, chaotic and blasphemous, delivering a devastating assault of Bestial Death/Black Metal filled with violence, darkness and apocalyptic atmospheres. A true ritual of sonic destruction where the most infernal influences of extreme Metal converge, already foreshadowing the unique identity the band would later establish through its studio albums.
Recommended for fans of BLASPHEMY, PROCLAMATION, ANGELCORPSE, ARCHGOAT and NECROS CHRISTOS.
