London Sessions, the new EP by THE OLD DEAD TREE, is now streaming in full on YouTube ahead of its official Friday, November 28th release.
Recorded within the historic walls of Abbey Road Studios, the EP captures four compositions shaped by a pivotal moment in the band’s renewed creative cycle. It pairs two brand-new songs with re-imagined versions of key works from The Perpetual Motion, forging a bridge between past foundations and present evolution.
London Sessions will be released on all platforms November 28.

The invitation to record at Abbey Road arrived in early 2024 and interrupted the writing of their first full-length in seventeen years. Across six focused days in Studios 2 and 3, the band tracked the core of the EP with producer and engineer François-Maxime Boutault, whose detailed approach shaped the contrast-rich character of the material.

Few grindcore bands have enjoyed the shelf life of Rotten Sound. After outrunning the apocalypse on their last long-player, the Finnish grindcore vets are back with another politically-charged EP. The latest single from Mass Extinction is slightly more optimistic about our future than its initial discharge, but “Idealist” gets its message across with such blunt force, that it’s impossible not to heed the band’s charge.
“‘Idealist’ is a cynical D-beat anthem about our fight for a better future”, says the band’s vocalist Keijo Niinimaa. “I do believe that better times are ahead, but it feels impossible to find a new level in humanity. The transition seems to take forever. That frustration led me to write the lyrics to this song.

Belgium’s most unpredictable electro-fun-metal act BOUM PATAT are back with “Putain De Moustique”, a track taken from the debut album Ma Belgitude, out now via Wormholedeath.
We’ve all been there—trying to sleep, only to be tortured by the high-pitched buzz of a mosquito that refuses to quit.

Equal parts heavy, absurd, and fun, it’s the kind of song that makes you laugh, rage, and double-check your bedroom window screens.

Italian dark-arts collective PONTE DEL DIAVOLO announce the upcoming release of their new album, De Venom Natura. Following the impact of their acclaimed debut Fire Blades From the Tomb (2024), the Turin-based ensemble now enter a bolder phase of their evolution. Their signature fusion of doom, black metal, post-punk and wave is pushed into even more confrontational territory, driven by a sharpened production aesthetic and the band’s distinctive dual-bass attack. The band describes the ethos behind their new direction succinctly:
“In this record, we wanted to push the boundaries of our music and further develop certain sounds that were only sketched in our previous works.”
Over the two years following the release of Fire Blades From the Tomb, the band solidified their reputation through extensive touring across Europe. Their live presence—built around two basses, wave-inflected vocals and a tense, ritualistic stage presence—became a defining element of their identity.
