VALBORG from the old West German capital of Bonn offer a very clearly defined artistic vision that shows in their artwork as well as in constant musical evolution. Coming from a death doom background, this eclectic trio loves to explore new alchemistic formulas of sound on each of their eight studio albums. The massive tracks from the latest album “Der Alte” will one again make the cave walls shake.

Avant-garde metal band Kayo Dot release the epic-length video single 'Closet Door in the Room Where She Died' from their forthcoming new album "Every Rock, Every Half-Truth under Reason" (release: August 1).
Watch: https://youtu.be/LDewElTXwDs

"Song and video 'Closet Door in the Room Where She Died' meditate on the theme of haunting, not just in the supernatural sense but in the way the past imprints itself on space", mastermind Toby Driver explains. "The ghost here is not a mere specter but a residue, an event that has left its mark on the house, on the walls, on the very air. The house itself is alive with memories, trapped in a state of suspended time, an echo that will not fade. The ghost watches, trapped in the mirror, unable to escape the house it once inhabited. This ghost is not a solitary figure but part of a larger, more insidious force – the trauma of a past that will not be exorcised. And, like the world we live in, the house is inhabited by the past, the present, and the inescapable blur between them. The music builds on this sense of entrapment and distance. The foundation of microtonal organs, layers of clarinets, and violins creates a dense, suffocating atmosphere, reminiscent of György Ligeti's work – where dissonant beauty holds us in place. There is no percussion here, no steady rhythm to anchor us. The long, drawn-out drones and expansive, reverb-heavy orchestration deepen the sense of isolation, as if we're trapped in a space where time doesn't move forward, but instead spirals inward. The house, like the world, becomes a place where past and present collide in an unresolvable tension, leaving us with nothing but the ghostly remnants of what once was."

Cascadian black metal duo FAUNA reveal an excerpt from the epic track 'Nature & Madness' as the first single from their forthcoming fourth album "Ochre & Ash" (release: September 26, 2025).
Listen: https://youtu.be/gq6GEK6byV4
Pre-order the album: http://lnk.spkr.media/fauna-ochre-ash

"A door opens from primordial chaos: 'Nature & Madness' spills forth", vocalist, guitarist, and drummer Vines states on behalf of the duo. "A fever dream of incarnation, suffering and ecstasy; the myth and the mirror of selfhood. Discordant threads emerge and gather, twisting spire-ward, pyre-ward, to assemble a monument of disparate yet interwoven strands, which comprises the whole tangled truth of existence. We scale onward unto that pinnacle, in desperation and inspiration, offering self as sacrifice against its own becoming. To travel shadowed paths toward further stages of incarnation, ascending toward the underworld, descending into celestial abyss. This segment of the greater work unraveled itself unbidden in a reverie inspired by the book of the same name by Paul Shepard, which speaks of the dissonance generated by the modern mind's inability to reconcile two simultaneous but contradictory truths. This dissonance leapt to life in musical form, itself a contradictory truth. Winding its way through the serpentine mind as surely as water seeks its source, uniting highest peak with deepest ocean. Attuning ourselves to this dissonance, allowing it to permeate and take root within our spirits, we re-member another way of Being."
