Su***de Forest 🇺🇸
‌
“World of Decay” is the newest full-length from Arizona-based depressive black metal band, Su***de Forest. After ten years in existence, and primarily as a solo project of guitarist, vocalist, and synth player, A. Kruger, “World of Decay” is the first album recorded as a full band endeavor with bassist Z. Giguere and drummer R. James. The five track album, recorded in winter of 2025, grapples with the weight of existing in a world hostile to the human experience and the way that weight manifests as both internal and external decay. “World of Decay” is a bleak albeit beautiful record bathed in dark atmosphere, undergirded with hypnotic riffs unfurling alongside sustained shrieks and immersive synth passages. - Realm and Ritual
‌
Recorded Winter of 2025 in the cabin at Half Moon Ranch in Dragoon, Arizona.
‌
Su***de Forest is:
A. Kruger - Guitar/Vocals/Synth
Z. Giguere - Bass
R. James - Drums
‌
Production by A. Kruger
Mastered by Collin Jordan at The Boiler Room

Khara Ojuun 🇩🇪🇷🇺

Shamanic black metal project KHARA OJUUN was founded in 2025 by two musicians from Germany and Russia (Yakutia). At the moment, the band has recorded the EP "Shamanic Visions" and is working on new material. The EP was recorded independently in Heidelberg, Germany and Almaty, Kazakhstan in 2025. "Shamanic Visions" is a mix of black metal, abstract shamanic chants and the traditional folk instrument "khomus". It tells stories in Sakha language about the harsh winters of Siberia, nature, spirits, and other worlds. Cold northern atmosphere, ritual rhythms, distorted guitars and echoes of ancient spirits merge into one soundscape inspired by nature, isolation and traditional spirituality of the North. This release was recorded independently by two musicians connected through a shared vision of black metal.

Tracklist:

01. Хомус (Khomus)
02. Үлүйүү (Burning Cold)
03. Буурҕа (Snowstorm)
04. Ойуун (Shaman)
05. Ый суола (Road to the Moon)

Out on May 31 via Satanath Records (Georgia) and The End Of Time Records (Ireland)

Downfall of Nur 🇦🇷🇮🇹
‌
After a whole decade of silence, Downfall of Nur is back with a new album. The studio project born from Italian-born Antonio Sanna is finally ready to give a proper follow up to the acclaimed debut 'Umbras de Barbagia' (2015). 'And the Firmament will Burn to Quench the Pain of this Earth' unfolds as a profound reflection on the ancestral memory and deeply rooted symbols of Sardinia.
‌
At its core lies the dual figure of the feminine: the Mother Goddess, an ancient archetype associated with fertility, the earth, and permanence, represented in the prehistoric iconography of Sardinia, and human mothers, silent protagonists who carry the restrained sorrow of mourning their children lost to ancestral conflicts, such as the disamistade, a ritualized enmity deeply embedded in Sardinian cultural memory.
‌
The album’s central narrative revolves around the transition of an individual caught in these ancient cycles of hostility. Upon shedding his physical form, his spirit merges with the archetype of the Mother Goddess, an ancestral presence embodying the exhaustion provoked by the endless repetition of violence and death. This union marks a threshold: an essential act of purification that confronts oblivion and halts the ceaseless recurrence of suffering.
‌
AvantgardeMusic will release 'And the Firmament will Burn to Quench the Pain of this Earth' on CD, LP and digital on May 24th, 2026.
