Perhaps a day that many thought would never come, but ultimately this is a day when passion and perseverance prevail. After an absence of more than a decade in which the band faced many setbacks, Suicidal Winds is ready and back with a new album that will be released at the end of 2025 via WolfKult Religion.

‘In The Fire 666’ is a celebration of the familiar Black/Thrash Metal style, but above all it is the ultimate tribute to Fredrik Andersson, the band’s bassist who passed away in 2023. This new album had been ready for some time and contains Fredrik’s last songs and recordings.

The core members, guitarists Peter and Mathias comment:
“We met Fredrik at school in 1990/1991, though our musical journey together started in 1999 with Axis Powers, our Death Metal band at the time, but he would shortly join Suicidal Winds in which he grew as one of the main song writers. He wrote the basis for 7 out of the total of 11 songs, he really knew how to put a song together and had a great taste in music. So, it feels fantastic to finally release ‘In The Fire 666’ as a tribute to him. Fredrik was a great friend, band mate and a terrific person. Rest in peace, we will always miss you!”

WolfKult Religion adds:
“As a fan since somewhere in the early 2000s, it is an honour for me to be part of what can be called the return of Suicidal Winds. It is a band that I have always appreciated musically, but also admired for their perseverance and handling of setbacks. After the loss of their friend Fredrik, the band understandably took a break, but Peter and Mathias are still full of fire, passion and ambition. This is just a new beginning that leads into the fire. 666!”

It’s the return of the Swedish Black Death…Soulseller Records are proud to announce the signing of In Aeternum!

Founded in the early nineties, In Aeternum stormed for many years with 4 full length albums, several EP’s and extensive tours before going in to hibernation for an indefinite time. Now the band has been resurrected, is stronger than ever and a brand new album has been recorded with the same line up from 20 years ago!

Titled ‘…of Death and Fire’, the new studio album will be released early 2026 and it promises to be a true ripper for all the disciples of Black Death Metal! More details will be revealed very soon.

The band states: “In Aeternum are proud to collaborate with Soulseller Records. After 20 years we have come full circle and recorded a brutal new album with the same line up we had back in 2005. We have poured our blood sweat and tears in to this album, our souls are in every word and sound. This marks the beginning of something dark and sinister.”

Let ‘…Of Death and Fire’ take you on a journey. Hail darkness, hail death, hail fire.

In Aeternum is:
David Larsson – Guitars, Vocals
Daniel Sahlin – Guitars

Iron Bonehead Productions is proud to present Gravetaker’s striking debut album, ‘Sheer Lunacy’, on vinyl Lp format.

Finland’s Gravetaker are a duo of Lunatik and Atavistic Mouth. Taking inspiration from ‘Soulside Journey’-era Darkthrone and Katharsis among other things, the band drag Death Metal back to its ambitious and obscure roots with their first recording, ‘Sheer Lunacy’. With five tracks clocking over 35 minutes, each song has taken a form of its own, fully realized but effectively part of a greater (w)hole. From mesmerizing acoustic intros to divebombs casting their screams over blastbeats, crazed hysteria to somber fields and back again, all wrapped in a swirling-yet-mossy recording, ‘Sheer Lunacy’ is hard to categorize in any specific subgenre popular to this age and day; Gravetaker would be violently antagonistic if they actually cared about the nowadays scene. A true testament to a schizophrenic approach to songwriting and wielding true Metal of Death, Iron Bonehead now makes this archaic tome available on vinyl for full analog possession.

WolfKult Religion presents the debut demo of Fulgorious, a celebration of classic Second Wave Black Metal from Ecuador.

In case you need a tasty and well-crafted fix of Nordic Black Metal tradionalism, don’t look further. This is the stuff that will appeal to fans of early Darkthrone, Armagedda, Sargeist, Urgehal, Carpathian Forest, Satanic Warmaster, Gorgoroth and early Dødheimsgard. In short: Total Black Metal Cult!

The tapes are already en route to me, so they will shortly be added to the shop. Don’t sleep on this one!

Currently in the works with a clear aim of being finished by the end of this year, or at least before both bands hit the road for a couple of shows together:
Countess / Wrok – “Geknecht Door De Dood” – Split 7″

Both bands shouldn’t need any introduction I suppose, especially not for those who are either around long enough or for them who like to dig deep.

As for a lot of Dutch people, Countess has a special place for me too. Not only are they amongst the longest running Black Metal bands from The Netherlands, I admire their stoic approach and dedication to what Black Metal used to stand for. With having never sold their soul and loyalty to the music, labels and people around them, it is nothing short of an honour to work with them on such a great release.

With a demo of a true underground classic status like ‘Ontgravenis’, released back in 1996, it was hard to imagine how the band would sound some two decades later. Yet, with Wrok’s return in 2017 they showed that none of their initial filth and anger was lost. Albeit, sounding different from their split partner, Wrok definitely completes this split 7″ EP in commendable fashion, making ‘Geknecht Door De Dood’ a true celebration of Dutch underground Black Metal.

Amor Fati Productions is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Funeral Harvest, ‘Malum in Se’, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats.

‘Malum in Se’ stands as Funeral Harvest’s latest offering: a six-track invocation to the Sun of Light, Hēlēl ben Šāḥar. Featuring five original compositions and a reverent cover of Celestial Bloodshed’s ‘Truth Is Truth, Beyond the God’, this release pays homage to one of Black Metal’s most spiritually potent cult acts, whose vision helped shape Funeral Harvest’s own.

Following the blood-soaked wrath of 2022’s ‘Redemptio’, ‘Malum in Se’ emerges as its spiritual antithesis; where ‘Redemptio’ embodied divine judgment, ‘Malum in Se’ exalts the adversary. It is a further descent into the shadows, illuminating the glory of Lucifer in defiance of God, and continuing Funeral Harvest’s journey through revelation, rebellion, and ruin.

None shall be owned.
None shall be praised.
But thee, Hēlēl ben Šāḥar.

‘Malum in Se’ is a profound spiritual and artistic statement, inspired by the hand of the Devil, drawing on deep themes of transformation and devotion. It is a summoning, a call to the Great Fiery Son of Light. An invocation channeled through the descent into darkness.

Currently in production and part of the upcoming batch of WolfKult Religion tapes will be a freshly recorded EP by Peru’s most celebrated Grind/Death Metal band, Dismorfia. The as always short but sweet new EP is titled ‘Sexual Mutilations And Paralytic Sorrows’ and serves you with what is possibly the band’s finest piece to date.

As a long-term admirer of this band I am very happy to team up with them to release this tape, that more or less coincides with Dismorfia’s appearance on several European stages. This includes a performance at the German Sick Feast Festival, where they will be sharing the stage with bands such as Sequestrum, Sovereign (Norway) and Inhume.

If you’re into such bands as (old!) Carcass, Phlegm, Blood, Impetigo, Dead Infection, early Nuclear Death, Pungent Stench, Dead, Eyegouger, Ulcerous Phlegm, General Surgery and whatnot from your early 90’s demos and 7” collection. Old school Grind/Death/Gore for those who like it dirty.

WolfKult Religion signed up for the release of Living Evil’s debut.

Up and coming Canadian Heavy Metal band Living Evil and WolfKult Religion team up for the release of the band’s debut, ‘Curse The Cross’.

This is particularly good news for them who forever stayed loyal to those vibrant 80’s. Living Evil brings you right back to those days at which Heavy Metal started to become a real genre and, in hindsight, formed the basis for Thrash and Black Metal.

In the powerfull songs of these Canadian’s you’ll find more than the occasional Speed- and Thrash Metal riff and there’s even lots of early Venom in there too – if not only for Living Evil’s visual aesthetics, truly living up their name.

If that wasn’t all, Executioner’s strong, balls-to-the-wall vocals truly seal the deal. The real connoisseur will find strong resemblances with Leather Leone (Chastain), Doro in her prime years with Warlock and Kate de Lombaert (Acid).

‘Curse The Cross’ is already in production and will be released on cassette format this fall.

Hailing out of Ecuador, this threesome feeds on the musical legacies of bands like Mystifier, Impurity, Necromantia, early Samael, Mortuary Drape, Varathron, Barathrum, Demoncy…

‘Sabbath Witchcraft’ brings you back to days long gone. With their eerie black necro magick in sonic form, Oath Of Malignancy positions themselves next to bands like Moenen Of Xezbeth, Forbidden Temple, Haan Valar, Ophidian, Funerealm Gloom, Black Edifice, Ceremonial Torture, Cult Of Eibon, Phlegethon’s Majesty, Moonfall and the rest of today’s elite.

An advanced track can be heard on Wolfkult Religion’s Youtube channel. Expect nothing but mesmerizing ancient Black Metal!
