New Metal Releases September 5th 2025
Autrest - Imperialist - Nailed to Obscurity - Ritual Mass - Progeny of Sun - Falling Leaves - Burial Extraction - Maze of Torment - And More...
Stand outs this week:
Autrest - Second album from Brazilian solo atmospheric black metal band. From the bands Bandcamp: “It draws inspiration from nature, incorporating the sounds of the forests and mountains to create powerful and introspective, nature-themed music that transports listeners to a world of misty forests and icy peaks, where each song becomes new a journey.”
Imperialist - Third album from black metal band with death and thrash influences out of the United States.
Jord - Fourth album from Swedish atmospheric melodic blackened doom band. Taking inspiration from northern nature, folk lore and mysticism. The first single from this one is incredible.
Also looking forward to: Nailed to Obscurity - Progeny of Sun - Falling Leaves - Gjallarhorn’s Wrath - Before the Dawn - Alicia Cordisco - Marche Funèbre - Embrace The Darkness
