Latest release by Preludium (Poland) -

Preludium releases its finest album till date. Spiritual-themed, the album is saturated with hues from both Black and Death Metal genres without compromising on the aesthetic of either. Intense, atmospheric and memorable, 'Redemption' guides the listener through tales of morality, determination and escape from the circles of life and death.

Diabolical Conquest Webzine is now known as Transcending Obscurity - www.transcendingobscurity.com

I have decided to change the name of our site from Diabolical Conquest to Transcending Obscurity as that is more fitting for the kind of work ethic that we have towards our music. We have always focused on promoting and supporting lesser-known, obscure but deserving bands from around the world through our webzine and our label and we are constantly striving to throw light on them. Hence, the name change. Timing is coincidental with our new site and it makes better sense to do this now than later. For anything related to our site,there will be only one email address from now on - [email protected]

IMMOLATION news: The new album KINGDOM OF CONSPIRACY is coming out on May 14 in North America!

The cover imagery was brought to life this time by no less than Pär Olofsson (IMMORTAL, THE FACELESS, ABYSMAL DAWN). “The figures in the artwork have all been bound and chained and have their eyes and mouths sewn shut symbolically, showing the chilling of speech and the intentional blinding of the masses,” explains guitarist Robert Vigna. “They all make up the huge ominous structure behind them, which is symbolic of the growing security state as well as our failing structures today, and how they are slowly and methodically consuming and controlling us all. It has a very Orwellian feel to it, which is what we were going for since the album is very dark in a slightly different way.”

In regards to Kingdom Of Conspiracy’s lyrical content he continues: "The album deals with the world today and the slow unraveling and breakdown of our societies and the systems and structures behind them. It speaks of the human side to all this and how we have all lost our way and have fed into these very systems that are slowly coming apart. This is the common thread running throughout the album and the cover paints a very dark picture of the future, where these systems have completely absorbed our world, and our freedoms and we have become a part of the very fabric of these structures that we have created. Each song is a symptom of this mass sickness that has brought the world to the point it is at now, and we paint a very bleak picture of this slow and gradual breakdown and the human failures that sped this process along. This is the Kingdom of Conspiracy."

"'Cloven Hooves at the Holocaust Dawn' is the lone release of the all too short-lived Kerasphorus, brainchild of one of extreme metal's greatest voices, Pete Helmkamp. Building on the spirited extreme metal hybrid of Order From Chaos, the blasphemous fury of Angelco**se and the opinion polarizing war cannon of Revenge, this work with Kerasphorus is, as he himself states, among the best he's ever done."

Czech Republic is mostly known for its Grindcore scene. But there is a small but strong Death Metal uprising of sorts taking place with bands such as Heaving Earth, Martyrium Christi and Destroying Divinity. The latter band was noticed by US label Brutal Bands who released ‘Dark Future’ – the band’s...

Grossty – Self-titled CD Rs.100 / $5ppd worldwide
Indian Grindcore’s latest sensation Grossty smacks us with a highly potent dose of whacked-out Grindcore. Its music is varied, sprightly and tremendous fun. It’s meant for mandatory repeat listens.

"As befitting a band that was so ahead of their time (quite ironic considering how savagely atavistic their approach was), the material on show throughout this record hardly sounds dated, the frantic blasting passages and more pronounced chunky riffing sounding equally vital and vibrant, even when contrasted with the host of bands that have pilfered from their legacy."

Thank Beelzebub for this. For much of its juvenile life, black metal has enshrined and deified a Norwegian scene that learned many of its tricks from a young, rabid South American scene, who absorbed the doctrines of Venom and extrapolated them to the most outrageous extreme.

Devoid(India) - The Invasion CD EP Rs.150 / $6ppd worldwide
'The Invasion' is the latest release from Mumbai-based Thrash/Death Metal band Devoid. It is without doubt one of the best releases to come out of this country. Pulsating music charges you up like a battery ready to explode any time. Riffs are vicious and unrelenting, faster than you can headbang to. The songs are tighter than ever, the music wobbling like a slick beast going straight for the kill. Excellent production and packaging makes this a must have Indian release.
