New Metal Releases October 10th 2025
Serpent God - Morke - Sanguisugabogg - Testament - Hæresis - Undersave - Frayle - Vile Apparition - Plague Curse - Dhikkaar - And More...
Stand outs this week:
Serpent God - Debut album from Finnish melodic death / doom band.
Plague Curse - Debut album from blackened death metal band. From their Bandcamp: “PLAGUE CURSE are an international blackened death metal collaboration featuring members of Drowstorm, Vahrzaw, Vintertodt, Burden of Ymir, Swamp Fiend, Calling of Phasmic Presence, and more. The band’s membership isn’t meant to be some sort of cultivated mystery so much as secondary to the result: an utterly punishing debut album bearing the all-too-appropriate title of Verminous Contempt.”
Ways to the Grave - Debut album from progressive death metal band from New Jersey
Also looking forward to: Morke - Testament - Hæresis - Altars Ablaze - Les Bâtards du Roi - Omnivide - Pyreworks
