Aural Music is proud to announce that Italian band Void Of Sleep has completed preparations for the release of their fourth album, titled “The Abyss into which We All Have to Stare”, scheduled for October 17, 2025, in CD, limited edition double vinyl, and digital formats.
“The Abyss into which We All Have to Stare” is a conscious dive into the abyss of the most extreme and desperate nihilism of our times. A dark descent into a fate that is becoming increasingly tangible—a journey into the psyche and the visceral terror of those who can no longer perceive a future, having lost all sense of truth and of their own actions. It portrays the decline of a narcissistic and selfish civilization that has lost respect for itself and for the world around it.
Musically, working with synths from the very beginning for the first time allowed us to think more broadly and progressively about the songs, leading to a more personal and modern structural development of the entire stylistic concept—a significant step forward in the band’s evolution.
More updates will follow in the coming months.

CZART joins code666

code666 is proud to announce the signing of audiovisual metAI project CZART from Poland.

founded by Michał Chrościelewski in the northeastern region of Poland, the band fuses heavy music with experimental visual storytelling to create a distinct artistic identity.

Artificial Intelligence — much like electricity in centuries past — is both a tool of innovation and a source of controversy. Its synthetic and “unnatural” nature aligns perfectly with the symbolic image of the devil (Czart) as an outsider to the natural world. By integrating AI into music composition and video design, the project achieves a surreal, dreamlike vibe that stimulates the imagination and heightens the sense of mystery.

Debut Album titled “Czarty Polskie” is scheduled for autumn 2025 on code666, the legendary cult sublabel of Aural Music Group.

Aural Music announces October 18th as the international release date for Ottone Pesante's highly anticipated fourth album, Scrolls of War.

Ottone Pesante ("Heavy Brass" in Italian) are a unique and incredible band: trumpet, trombone, and drums playing metal, making a huge step beyond the traditional idea of extreme metal, based on the classic sound of bass and guitar. The band formed in Faenza, Italy in 2015 and released two EPs (Ottone Pesante in 2015, …and the Black Bells Rang in 2022), three full-lengths (Brassphemy Set in Stone in 2016, Apocalips in 2018, DoomooD in 2020), a split (Subsound Records Split Series #8 in 2019), and two books of scores. With almost 400 shows all over Europe under their belt, Ottone Pesante are currently destroying a lot of boundaries between metal, jazz, brass, and avant-garde genres.

Scrolls of War is the first album of a concept trilogy about the history of brass music. There was a time long ago when droughts, famines, earthquakes, floods, and epidemics occurred almost simultaneously, within a very short period, forcing peoples to migrate for survival. These mass movements were desperate and caused atrocious and extremely violent wars. The ancients sanctified these wars in the name of a god leading them to victory, delivering the so-called "rules of war." Priests were in charge of announcing the movements of the army to the sound of their trumpets and horns.

Ottone Pesante embark on an imaginary journey through history, mythology, and archaeology in an attempt to analyze and exorcise the historical relationship of brass instruments in wars, starting from a document dating back to the 1st century AD found in Qumran, Palestine at the end of the 1940s: The War Scrolls.

First track premiere to be revealed shortly. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

1. Late Bronze Age Collapse
2. Sons Of Darkness Against Sons Of S**t
3. Men Kill, Children Die
4. Teruwah
5. Battle Of Qadesh
6. Slaughter Of The Slains
7. Seven
