Words from DISPARAGED (OFFICIAL):

"Dear Fans,
we’ve created a farewell video in memory of our beloved friend Adrian, who has sadly passed away. We chose the song “Reborn” because it was one of his favorite pieces to perform with us on stage - a tune that truly captured his spirit.

Adi, words can’t express how much you’ll be missed. It feels as if a part of our hearts goes with you.

Rest in peace, brother.
We’ll see you on the other side."

Melodic death metal veterans Soul Demise have released the official video for “Scattered by the Storm,” a brooding highlight from their latest album "Against the Abyss" (March 21, 2025). With themes of loss and emotional collapse, the track stands out for its darker tone and subtle electronic elements. The video mirrors this shift with dark, atmospheric visuals - showing the band still evolving after three decades in the scene.

Harmony Dies joins the Apostasy Records Family!

Germany’s underground is about to get darker and heavier. Apostasy Records proudly announces the signing of Berlin-based old-school death metal outfit Harmony Dies!

Formed in the early 1990s, Harmony Dies has carved out a reputation for delivering relentless and uncompromising death metal. With a discography rooted in the raw brutality of the old school and a history of pulverizing live performances, the band has remained a steady force in the European death metal scene. Their sound blends brutality with groove, staying true to their underground roots while continuing to evolve.

Now part of the Apostasy Records family, Harmony Dies joins a roster dedicated to extreme metal. This new chapter sets the stage for what’s to come: brand-new material is currently in the works, with a first new single scheduled for later this year. Expect nothing less than pure death metal intensity!

Stay tuned for more updates!
