BELPHEGOR – NEW ALBUM DELAYED UNTIL EARLY 2021!
[2020.05.28]

Helmuth states: "Because of the global pandemic, we must push the release of the still-untitled LP back to early 2021.
We have been composing this new album since what feels like forever. Drums have already been recorded before the outbreak in February this year at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.
Since mid-March. Serpenth and I have kept busy by tracking guitars and bass for the new album."

BELPHEGOR will report to you with news on the progress of this album, so keep an eye out!

GAEREA RELEASE "NULL" THE FIRST NEW TRACK OF "LIMBO"!
[2020.05.13]

Cathartic black metal outfit GAEREA are now releasing a brand new track taken from their forthcoming album 'Limbo'. The album is slated for release on July 24, 2020 via Season Of Mist label.
The 'Limbo' cover art was painted by the famous Eliran Kantor (Testament, Iced Earth, Sodom)

A first chapter of the fallen society tale can now be viewed in the form of a music video below:

Watch GAEREA "NULL" videoclip here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1ooMJ1jUxw



"Set the eyes on fire
Blazing Red"


GAEREA comment on the video: "NULL exploits the unnatural vision of the undying martyrs. These are different souls from another time. The power of being a living creature and not just a random programmed soul who is constantly being dragged into the false Sunlight. "Suicide is part of your life" was never about them, but us as its the only threat worth dying for. I am not from this world."

"LIMBO" Track-list
1. To Ain (11:15)
2. Null (6:01) (HERE)
3. Glare (7:16)
4. Conspiranoia (9:15)
5. Urge (4:50)
6. Mare (13:11)
Total playing time: 51:48

Studio/recording: Demigod Recordings (PT)
Mix/Master: Miguel Tereso

Style: Cathartic Black Metal

Something rises in the bleak and blackened skies of society as we know it. Vortex community GAEREA are about to bestow their Undying Sigil to the masses, with their brand-new full length ‘Limbo’!

GAEREA is a black metal quintet from Portugal. Emerging in the beginning of 2016, the band released their first (self-titled) EP on November 11, 2016 through Everlasting Spew Records. The EP received many praises from the worldwide press, and it was not long before the first full length "Unsettling Whispers" (2018) was presented.

With that, GAEREA had the pleasure to perform and tour festivals in Europe and China, including performances with Jupiterian in April 2019 and a headlining Chinese tour in May 2019. The band already performed at festivals like SWR Barroselas Metalfest (PT), De Mortem et Diabolum (DE), Throne Fest (BE), Frantic Fest (IT), Eresia Metal Fest (IT), Amplifest (PT) and many more. During the fall of 2019, the band did an extensive tour with label mates NUMENOREAN under the Doomstar Bookings wing throughout Europe.

Are you finally ready for the tale of the Fallen Society and the journey to the vast Void, the only good in Life? Let us begin then. In the first hopeless circle, on too great and Undeniable Nothingness. WE ARE GAEREA.

BLOT - RELEASES THEIR SECOND ALBUM "HOWL FROM THE NORTH"!
[2020.05.19]

Norwegian Viking black metallers BLOT releases their second album, “Howl from the North”, digitally June 19th, and on vinyl by Burning Skull Records in September.

Their first album, “Ilddyrking”, received great reviews both in Norway and abroad, and landed them slots at festivals like Midgardsblot, Southern DisComfort, Black Night, as well as they co-headlined Thorhammerfest in Sao Paulo.

The music is black metal with strong influences from traditional Viking/folk music, and they have been compared to bands such as Dissection, Bathory, Taake and other great bands within the genre.

“Howl from the North” continues the journey musically from “Ilddyrking”, and so far the feedback has been great.

Check out the Lyric Video for the title track "Howl from the North":
