ONE MONTH OF MEMORIES OF FIRE
On March 6, Fire Magic’s sophomore full-length, Memories of Fire, was unleashed upon the world and in the past month the response has been nothing short of tremendous. This was embodied by their album-release show, which flooded Richmond’s Cobra Cabana with die hards to see these new songs performed live for the first time. Catch Fire Magic later this year at , with more shows to be announced at a later date.

9 YEARS OF MORBID LUST

9 years ago today, Stygian Black Hand released Morbid Lust, the debut EP from Horns & Hooves (then a duo of Malebolge and Salpsan), semen-ting their salacious style with a foul foursome of songs whose lyrics and riffs forever stain the minds and trousers of those who experience them. At the time, the EP was only released on CD, followed by a limited cassette from , a short-lived imprint run by the crew’s frequent co-conspirator . It also featured gruesome guest vocals from , the singer of fellow SBH alumni Plague. After the release of Morbid Lust, Horns & Hooves soon recruited the well-endowed Orobas to take over drum duties and crafted the infamous full-length, I Am the Skel Messiah.

Here, we expose some promo and rehearsal imagery from the Morbid Lust sessions, including some alternate cover art variations used for when the mainstream could not handle the original. Left uncensored in all its glory, the album title text was drawn by Salpsan.

As a decade of Morbid Lust edges near, we continue to receive requests to resurrect these songs on physical format, and, frankly, we’re not sure if we can hold it in any longer…

TWO YEARS OF PUNISHED BY NEMESIS
On this day in 2024, unsheathed their second full-length, Punished by Nemesis, in conspiracy with Stygian Black Hand and Dying Victims Productions. In the subsequent years, they brought their metal of stress on two torturous tours — with Sabbat in the US and across Europe with Abhorration — as well as a few infamous fest appearances. Two years on, Stress Angel show no sign of slowing down, and even more ridicules of death may be in the works…

What is your favorite song on Punished by Nemesis? Have you seen Stress Angel live? Where do you want to see them perform next?

DISTRO UPDATE
The Devil Sees My Dreams

IMPURE finally delivers their second full-length abomination, The Devil Sees My Dreams. Within the past 6 years since the release of their debut album, Satan’s Eclipse, IMPURE has conjured a number of singles, EPs, and live desecreations across the globe, and The Devil Sees My Dreams is a culmination of those unblessed experiences. This album marks the second chapter for the band—drummer/vocalist Horned Father of Desecreation and guitarist/bassist Satyrannical Lord of Assault—and further cements IMPURE as a true, diabolic force in the American black metal underground.

Coming Fall 2025 from Stygian Black Hand
Carpathian Wrath “Enchantments in Blood” MC

Conceived in 2017 by the Vampiric Tyrant, Carpathian Wrath emerged as one of the first dungeon synth acts from Puerto Rico with the release of its first demo in 2020. After recruiting guest musicians — including Nordic Frost, who would become the band’s official guitarist — Carpathian Wrath adopted elements of raw black metal in the style of progenitors like France’s LLN, inspiring the formation of a circle of likeminded black metal musicians across Puerto Rico known as Las Legiones del Averno. Carpathian Wrath has developed a cult following in their hometown of Caguas and beyond, with live shows organized by the Vampiric Tyrant himself, complete with blood spitting and bible burning.

Stygian Black Hand now presents Carpathian Wrath’s latest EP, “Enchantments in Blood”, five tracks of raw vampiric black metal and dark ambient synth on limited audio cassette format.

Stream and preorder the EP here: https://stygianblackhand.bandcamp.com/album/enchantments-in-blood (link in bio)

The cassette will be out Friday, October 31, 2025.
