AUSTERE When a band plays depressive black metal and calls themselves Austere you know the chuckles are going to be few and far between. So on their fifth album The Stillness of Dissolution you can expect the tone to be bleak. Prophecy Productions will release the album on the 6th of June. In the meantime you can listen to a preview track here and pre-order the album on CD and vinyl.

MÜTTERLEIN In case you aren’t already of a nervous disposition Brittany, France’s Mütterlein will help you get there with their forthcoming release Amidst the Flames, May Our Organs Resound. Dark, ominous, hypnotic blackgaze coming over the horizon on the 9th of May on Debemur Morti Productions. Listen to a preview track here where you can pre-order the album on CD and limited vinyl.

Grab some merch…

EISENWALD Merch be fallin’ from the skies from those fine people at Germany’s Eisenwald and whether you’re based in North America or Europe you can get hold of some cool apparel and releases on various formats of such bands with the label as Panzerfaust and Ungfell. Go there and do the things and support the underground.

Check the following links…
Having to pay gigantic sums for international postage is a real gear grinder. While it’s our default setting to link Bandcamp pages in the case of new and pre-releases, we thought it would be helpful to add some online stores that might provide a useful alternative.
