Mesh are back, and they’re not easing into it. With the release of “Exile”, the iconic British synthpop duo signal a powerful resurgence—one that feels both urgent and refined. Out today, the new single captures Mesh at their most emotionally charged, blending polished electronic production with the introspective weight longtime fans crave.
“Exile” doesn’t just arrive — it confronts. Propelled by driving synth lines and unmistakably human vulnerability, the track stands as a bold statement of intent. It’s a reminder of why Mesh continue to matter: emotionally resonant songwriting wrapped in precision-crafted electronic atmospheres.
The forthcoming album is already shaping up to be something special. Early impressions place it among their strongest work to date—rivaled only by Automation Baby, a high watermark in the band’s catalog. For fans who value depth, melody, and emotional honesty, this next era promises to deliver in full.
Preorders are now live, with regional options recommended for convenience:
European customers are encouraged to order via Dependent or POPoNAUT
UK fans should order directly from Mesh

This is Mesh, fully present and fully realized. If “Exile” is the opening signal, what follows may well define their modern legacy.
The second single from j:dead, titled “Disgusting,” lands on January 2, 2026, via Infacted Recordings, marking a sharper, more volatile evolution of the project’s sound and intent.
Following the debut single “Pressure,” which centered on emotional strain and resilience, “Disgusting” turns inward with far less restraint. This release confronts the discomfort of self-awareness—those moments when complacency, emotional stagnation, and repetitive personal patterns become impossible to ignore. It’s not reflective for comfort’s sake; it’s reflective because looking away is no longer an option.
A More Aggressive Sonic Identity
Musically, “Disgusting” pushes j:dead further into industrial-rock territory. Distorted synth lines grind against driving rhythms while raw, unfiltered vocals deliver their message with urgency. The track is intentionally abrasive—designed to hit hard in both club environments and alternative live settings, trading subtlety for impact.
A Campaign Built on Progression
This release emphasizes evolution over repetition. Rather than chasing frequency alone, each monthly release exposes a different emotional and sonic dimension of j:dead.
The result is a project unfolding in real time—growing darker, heavier, and more self-aware with every chapter while maintaining a direct connection with listeners.

This is more than a compilation. It’s a ritual, a statement, and a reflection of a year that tested resolve across the underground.
🌘 A Solstice Ritual Forged in Sound
Each year, the winter solstice marks the balance point between darkness and the slow return of light. In that spirit, Tinnitorturous returns with a sampler that channels the weight of the times through industrial, EBM, and alternative electronic expression.
Following last year’s uncompromising tribute Shouldn’t Have Done That – A Depeche Mode Tribute (still available for free on Bandcamp 💀), this year’s release goes deeper.

⚙️ Art as Resistance
New World Disorder stands as a response to a year defined by authoritarian aggression, propaganda, and attempts to suppress liberty. Fascism wears many masks—but the message here is clear: question supremacy, reject dictatorship, and never accept manufactured greatness. This EP doesn’t preach—it confronts.
As the light slowly returns, this sampler carries a faint but defiant hope: that 2026 may arrive with less madness, less bloodshed, and more humanity.
Founded in Denmark, Tinnitorturous is an independent label dedicated to industrial, EBM, and alternative electronic underground music, run by scene-veteran musicians who live and breathe the culture.
Daily operations are handled by:
Jens B. Petersen(ManMindMachine, Negant, more)

The label has steadily built a catalog rooted in sonic defiance, mechanical rhythms, and uncompromising vision.
🧾 Selected Discography Highlights
From early digital singles like Eisenwolf – Krigskøter (2019) to landmark releases such as ManMindMachine – RetroFuturist, Institute for the Criminally Insane – Ferryman’s Bell, and the 2024 sampler Shouldn’t Have Done That – A Depeche Mode Tribute, the label’s trajectory has been relentless.
The journey culminates—so far—with: V.A. – New World Disorder – A Tinnitorturous Sampler Digital EP | TT-DDEP-07 | Out December 21, 2025
Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann has released his latest solo single, “Meine Welt”, marking a bold and thought-provoking addition to his growing catalog of solo work. Initially launched digitally on December 20, 2024, the single has now been made available in physical formats as of March 14, 2025, through Out of Line Music.
“Meine Welt” (translated as My World) showcases Lindemann’s signature deep, commanding vocals paired with an intense, cinematic arrangement. The track dives into themes of personal identity, defiance, and resilience, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most expressive and provocative artists in modern German music.
A Sonic and Visual Statement
The single arrives alongside a visually striking music video that reflects Lindemann’s dark, avant-garde artistic vision. With haunting imagery and cryptic symbolism, the video echoes the song’s theme of constructing one’s own reality despite external pressures.
“Meine Welt” was composed by German musician Nicolas Ludwig and produced with a distinct fusion of industrial rock, orchestral elements, and electronic flourishes. Its release comes at a pivotal moment in Lindemann’s career, following a turbulent period of public scrutiny, which the song appears to confront head-on.
A Special Edition Release
Fans can now purchase “Meine Welt” in multiple physical formats, including:
Standard CD Single
Limited Edition Picture Minimax CD
7-Inch Vinyl (Regular and Limited Edition Picture Vinyl)
These collectible versions highlight the track’s stark and confrontational aesthetic, with cover art featuring “Kill Till” spelled in Cyrillic, an apparent reference to past controversies.
A Remix from Avenged Sevenfold’s Zacky Vengeance
Adding a unique twist to the single, Lindemann enlisted Zacky Vengeance of Avenged Sevenfold to craft an exclusive remix of “Meine Welt,” injecting a fresh, aggressive dimension into the track. The collaboration merges Lindemann’s theatrical style with Vengeance’s hard-hitting guitar work, creating an electrifying reinterpretation.

Massive Ego, the UK-based dark synth-pop band, is back with their striking new single, “(My) Death Song”. Accompanied by an emotionally charged music video, the track offers listeners a bold evolution in sound—combining dark themes with an unexpected message of hope and self-reflection.
“I’m bruised, but I’m alive,” declares frontman Marc Massive in one of the standout lyrics, setting the tone for a song that journeys from vulnerability to defiance. Opening with softer vocals, the track lures listeners into a false sense of security before delivering a punch of raw emotion, channeled through snarling vocals, gnarly guitars, and climactic synth-driven energy.
Catharsis through Creativity
Reflecting on the track’s deeply personal nature, Marc Massive explains, “This song became a necessary cathartic exercise. I was in such a bad headspace that writing this track helped me work through it. Had I not discovered self-help books, meditation, and professional support, I wouldn’t have made it through. The process of rising from despair has been miraculous for my creativity, and this new album reflects that transformation in every song.”
A New Era for Massive Ego
The single also signals a major shift in the band’s musical direction. Long known for their synth-heavy sound, Massive Ego now incorporates a raw guitar edge that brings a fresh intensity to their music.
Guitarist Porl Young, formerly of Rosetta Stone, describes the experience: “Adding guitars to Massive Ego’s synth-driven sound has been an exciting challenge. ‘(My) Death Song’ gave the guitars space to breathe, allowing for a seamless blend of arpeggios and heavy chords that adds a raw, distorted edge to the electronic foundation.”
Keyboardist Lloyd Price adds: “This single is a real departure from our past work. The combination of electronics with heavy guitars offers a glimpse into the eclectic mix on the upcoming album.”
Visual Evolution
As the band prepares for their 30th anniversary in 2026, drummer Olly Frost—known for his constantly evolving appearance—hints at a new visual direction. “For Marc, his iconic look became both a trademark and a prison. Personally, I intend to explore less makeup-driven styles and focus more on form and color saturation, which fascinates me.”
Looking Ahead
Massive Ego is currently working on a new full-length album while gearing up for a busy live schedule. Their first confirmed performance will be at Germany’s M’era Luna Festival on August 9–10, 2025, with additional dates to be announced soon.
Stay tuned for more updates on Massive Ego’s latest projects and performances!

KIRLIAN CAMERA, the avant-garde musical innovators, are offering a tantalizing preview of their highly anticipated album, ‘Radio Signals for the Dying.’ This sneak peek comes in the form of the single “Il Tempo Profondo (Radio Signal Version)” and its visually immersive counterpart, the video for “Il Tempo Profondo (Dark Psychedelia Vision).” Lead vocalist Elena Alice Fossi guides us into the profound concept of ‘deep time,’ portraying it as the expansive temporal dimension where humanity is intricately interwoven with Earth and geological forces.
In her insightful commentary, Fossi delves into the intricate layers of this concept, highlighting it as the vast canvas upon which human experience unfolds. The focus is on liberation from the cyclic patterns of existence, a wheel perpetuated by the self-centered desires of humanity. Within this framework, “Il Tempo Profondo” becomes more than a song; it emerges as a sonic exploration of the human condition, grappling with notions of hatred, craving, and delusion that persist within the intricate tapestry of existence.
This single, “Il Tempo Profondo,” is not just a standalone release but the herald of a larger musical narrative. It stands as the lead track from the much-anticipated double album, “Radio Signals for the Dying.” For eager listeners, this transformative musical journey is available for pre-order on CD and limited vinyl through Dependent Records. The album is poised for a grand unveiling on February 23rd, 2024, promising an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional musical expression.
As KIRLIAN CAMERA continues to push the boundaries of sonic artistry, “Il Tempo Profondo” beckons listeners to embark on a unique odyssey, exploring the depths of time and the human psyche. The accompanying video, “Il Tempo Profondo (Dark Psychedelia Vision),” adds a visual dimension to this sonic exploration, creating a multi-sensory experience that captivates and challenges perceptions. With this release, KIRLIAN CAMERA once again establishes themselves as pioneers of avant-garde sound, inviting audiences to step beyond the ordinary into a realm of musical transcendence.
The Adelaidean invites you on a sonic exploration with “Going Home the Long Way Around.” This ambient masterpiece, available as a Name-Your-Price download on Bandcamp, is a collection drawn from seven of The Adelaidean’s nine Projekt albums. To enrich the musical journey, two non-Projekt tracks are added, broadening the spectrum of this ambient experience.
The music delves into the still places of the living mind, capturing the ebbs and flows of mood, thought, and memory that weave the tapestry of human experience. The layered quality of the music is enhanced by archival textures, including avant-garde experiments from the artist’s teenage years in the 1980s and recordings by jazz pianist father-in-law Ted Nettelbeck. Collaborations with artists like Sam Rosenthal, Deepspace (Mirko Ruckels), and stepson Xander Monteath contribute to the rich, multi-dimensional nature of the compositions, complemented by the evocative cover art of Thom Buchanan.
Critics describe the work as “stark, extreme, and beautiful,” offering a “unique sonic experience.” Mark Frauenfelder of Boing Boing finds it a “blessed escape hatch to a distant present,” and Dave Aftandilian on Bandcamp likens the journey to “floating in the midst of eternity, gentle currents carrying me toward an unseen destination.”
The tracklist features remastered classics and collaborations, including the mesmerizing “Going Home the Long Way Around” with Xander Monteath, the atmospheric “Under the Bright Cuernavaca Sky” with Sam Rosenthal, and the ethereal “I Spelled My Name but the Wind Forgot” with Deepspace.
TheAdelaidean, alias Sean Williams, is not only a prolific musician but also an award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author and Discipline Lead of Creative Writing at Flinders University, South Australia.

Timo Rotten, the band’s vocalist, comments on the endeavor: “Toxicity was one of my favorite albums when it came out, but I hadn’t heard it in a while. Then Thomas dug it up again a few weeks ago and the question immediately came to my mind: How would this sound with growls? And whether I could do it at all. We just had to try it out. Did I get it right? I think you have to decide for yourselves.”
About OCEANS: From their inception, the emerging German outfit OCEANS has captured attention with a sound that defies easy categorization, straddling nu-metal, progressive, post, and death metal, all while prioritizing mental health themes. Renowned for their innovation and experimentation within their genre, they’ve covered songs by artists like Alessia Cara and collaborated with notable musicians, including MACHINE HEAD’s Robb Flynn and CALIBAN’s Andy Dörner. With a string of releases, from EPs to full albums, OCEANS, led by visionary Timo Rotten, has firmly established itself as one of Europe’s most dedicated and prolific bands. Their triumvirate album “Hell Is Where The Heart Is,” consisting of parts I, II, and III, stands as a testament to their constant evolution.
For decades, the name Lizzy Borden has been synonymous with top-tier heavy metal music. Now, Lizzy Borden returns with his first original music since the widely praised album My Midnight Things from 2018, presenting the digital single “Death of Me” – out now!
This new single was meticulously crafted, engineered, produced, mixed, and mastered by none other than Kane Churko (known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch, In This Moment).
Reflecting on the new track, Lizzy Borden commented: “Death of Me was a fantastic experiment! Kane Churko was Dr. Frankenstein, and I was the monster roaring in the vocal booth as he injected bolts of electricity over and over, seeking the ideal vocal performance. Collaborating with individuals who can push me beyond my comfort zone has been a constant pursuit. As a result, I’ve never recorded two albums that sound the same. Every song I write represents an opportunity to explore new territory. In my initial conversation with Kane about working together, he remarked that he didn’t know how to do what I do, just as I hadn’t spent much time in his world. He asked, ‘Are you sure you want to give this a shot?’ I saw it as a challenge!”
Lizzy continued, “Our first two hours in the studio were spent in conversation. Kane was trying to grasp the kind of song I wanted to create with him. After producing numerous albums and performing worldwide throughout the decades, the word that resonated was perseverance. While our approaches to music may seem worlds apart, navigating life’s challenges one obstacle at a time is a universal theme… and that’s the essence of the song I aimed to compose. ‘Death of Me’ embodies the spirit of never surrendering, of refusing to let anyone drag you down. It celebrates the realization that this journey won’t be easy, yet we’re committed to overcoming it. You can cut me until I bleed, but you won’t be my demise.”
Regarding the music video, Lizzy added: “Working with Robert Graves was reminiscent of my collaboration with a young Zack Snyder (known for his work on Superman, Batman vs Superman, Justice League) on the ‘Love Is a Crime’ video from the Master of Disguise album. Their directing styles align closely, and filming felt like we were crafting a movie rather than a music video. Robert listened to the song and after a brief phone conversation, he devised this storyline. Filming this gothic horror tale was an absolute delight. A boy stalks a girl, she ensnares him like a spider capturing a fly, and too late, the boy realizes he was the victim all along; a story as old as time itself. I hope the audience has as much fun watching this video as we did creating it. See you on the other side.”

Steffen Kummerer comments: “A Celebration I – Live in North America covers a selection of concerts we performed in the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico between 2022 and 2023 as part of the ‘A Valediction World Tour’. Within 20 years, we are looking towards the first live album of Obscura, spiked with songs of our last five releases. It was a pleasure working through every recorded show to pick the best song, the loudest possible audience and a stellar performance by a band that’s on fire.

Four years after their last studio album “No Halos in Hell,” CYHRA proudly presents their new album “The Vertigo Trigger.” The Swedes’ third full-length has been released today, and it reflects exactly what the melodic metal band stands for: ear-splitting riffs, catchy choruses, and plenty of melodies that make the band truly stand out.
The band, based around singer Jake E (ex-AMARANTHE) and guitarists Jesper Strömblad (THE HALO EFFECT/ex-IN FLAMES) Euge Valovirta (ex-SHINING), drummer Alex Landenburg (KAMELOT), and guitarist Marcus Sunesson (ex-THE CROWN / ex-ENGLE), demonstrate that they haven’t slowed down. With “The Vertigo Trigger,” CYHRA has not only further developed their distinctive sound but also proven how diverse they are. The best example of this is the latest single “Ashlight,” which combines hard-hitting elements with a gentle attitude. And if that wasn’t enough, the Swedes also deliver a new music video for the latest single to celebrate the album release.
Vocalist Jake E comments: “It feels amazing to FINALLY have new music to release again! We put a lot of effort into finding out what the future of Cyhra’s music was to be, and I must say I am overwhelmed with the result. Both with the album and also the songwriting! I think that we have made a fantastic follow-up to both of our first two albums, but also at the same time, we’ve managed to modernize the songwriting. I can assure you that no Cyhra fan will be disappointed!”
Drummer Alex Landenburg adds: “To me, this is a perfect successor to our first two records. It has all the Cyhra trademarks, but it’s a bit more Rock’n’Roll, more raw, in the way we recorded it. And on top of that, Euge’s great mix and Jacob Hansen’s mastering are a wicked combination!”
Guitarist Euge Valovirta about the new song: “This is the first album we produced by ourselves, and it turned out to be just like I heard it in my head before we even started to record it. We still wanted to have (long-time producer) Jacob Hansen’s input on it, so he did the mastering, and I did the mixing. I’m very proud of it. And us. Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.”
Marcus Sunesson adds: “It’s the first of the three Cyhra albums that I played guitar on and also contributed to the songwriting. It was a fun and very creative process but also challenging since we wanted to break new ground to make the best Cyhra album possible. I am so happy and proud of this beast of an album! This time we took a deep breath and dove down to explore a slightly darker, more progressive, and modern side of ourselves. Yet still sounding like the Cyhra you all know and love. This album will definitely turn some heads. You will love it!”
Jesper Strömblad comments as well: “It’s so great to have a new album around the corner. We have kept the essential Cyhra sound, but at the same time, upgraded and updated it a bit. I love what Euge has done to the mix, and I know you are not gonna be disappointed!”
Recorded in the summer/autumn of 2022, “The Vertigo Trigger” is the band’s darkest album to date. The album was entirely self-produced and mixed by guitarist Euge Valovirta, while the mastering was handled by long-term producer Jacob Hansen. This new album offers fans the classic CYHRA sound, full of the band’s trademarks but fresh and refined. The Swedes have modernized their songwriting, meaning that no CYHRA fan will be disappointed, making “The Vertigo Trigger” a more than worthy successor to their first two albums.
And although guitarist Jesper Strömblad isn’t a part of CYHRA’s live shows currently, he was deeply involved in the writing and recording process of the album. Therefore, the band can hardly wait for his return as soon as he is ready again.

CYHRA, the melodic metal powerhouse featuring vocalist Jake E (ex-AMARANTHE), guitarists Jesper Strömblad (THE HALO EFFECT/ex-IN FLAMES) and Euge Valovirta (ex-SHINING), has unveiled their highly anticipated third single, “IF I,” from their upcoming album “The Vertigo Trigger.” With its amalgamation of tuneful heaviness, ear-worm riffs, and a striking chorus, the track pays homage to the renowned Gothenburg metal scene, embodying everything that makes CYHRA’s music truly exceptional.
In conjunction with the release of “IF I,” CYHRA presents a visually captivating experience through a new visualizer video. Immerse yourself in the captivating visuals that perfectly complement the intense energy of the song. Watch the video here: Visualizer Video.
To stream “IF I” and embark on a melodic metal journey, follow this link: Stream “IF I”.
Brace yourself for an auditory assault that blends nostalgia with a contemporary sound.
Vocalist Jake E describes the inspiration behind “IF I” and the video’s concept: “‘IF I’ is a song that embodies the influences we all grew up with from the Gothenburg metal scene. It boasts great melodies with a chorus that invites listeners to sing along. The video, directed by ourselves, features footage captured during our electrifying 9-show tour in Japan earlier this year.”
Drummer Alex Landenburg adds, “It’s probably our heaviest track to date, and I just can’t get enough of that riff! Pure Gothenburg metal at its finest!”
Guitarist Euge Valovirta shares the story behind the creation of the song: “I initially wrote the song for one of my YouTube videos, and the response was overwhelming. People were asking where they could purchase it. I sent it to Jake, and he instantly fell in love with it. He made some tweaks to the verse and chorus, giving it that distinct CYHRA touch. The result is fantastic—a melodic metal song reminiscent of the old school Gothenburg style. The title is a playful nod to a certain band that served as one of the song’s inspirations. The track kicks off with an amazing drum fill by Alex, and from there, it’s a wild ride. Hell yeah!”
Marcus Sunesson comments, “‘IF I’ is one of the faster, up-tempo songs on our new album. It’s Cyhra’s way of paying homage to the Gothenburg scene, combining glorious melodies and riffs. It’s a real banger and a blast to play!”
Jesper Strömblad shares his excitement about the track, saying, “This tune is the fastest track we’ve ever written. It’s so much fun to play, and we can’t wait to share it with you on stage. See you in the pit!”

“Un:Sterblich – Our Souls Will Never Die” – Tracklist:
Metropolis Records is Proud to Welcome ZANIAS Metropolis Records has partnered with Fleisch Records to release the new album Chrysalis in North and South America.
Since 2014, Zanias has existed as the unrepentant creative venture of Alison Lewis, born in Australia, raised in Southeast Asia, and also known for her vocal work with Linea Aspera, Keluar and a record shelf’s worth of collaborations with the likes of Black Rain, Ancient Methods, Dax J, I Hate Models and Infravision.
As the sole custodian of Fleisch Records she spent many years attuning herself to Berlin dancefloors through the timely collision of techno and electronic body music, but her true passion is for understanding the modality of emotions through songwriting. Sound is her psycho-spiritual catharsis and philosophical exploration of existence, expressed through an intense vocal performance, evocative melodies and heavy rhythmic components. With this signature structure she seeks to reinvent her own brand of ethereal pop: atmospheric, multi-layered and as alien as it is authentically, vulnerably human.
The creation of ‘Chrysalis’ was a retreat from a seemingly endless string of unfortunate events, a cocoon from which Zanias could weave hope from hopelessness. In each of its eight songs she has engineered unique worlds to express alternate facets of the modern human experience, from burnout and the toxicity of capitalism to processing death and the inherent isolation of personal trauma.
Written and recorded between Berlin and the rainforest of Queensland, Australia, the sound design of ‘Chrysalis’ reflects the rich biodiversity of the latter environment, where she drew much of her inspiration. Her voice shifts and morphs into ghostly, alien forms between catchy hooks that plant this album firmly in the ‘pop’ genre, without losing the underground rawness and lyrical depth for which she is known.
With her third full-length album, Chrysalis, Zanias is expressing her truest form thus far, fusing her seemingly discordant influences into a genre-defying electronic art pop, as dark and evocative as it is ethereal and uplifting.
Prepare yourselves for an onslaught of bone-shattering death metal as New Jersey’s Cognitive releases their scorching new single, “Rot Eternal.” This blistering track is a glimpse into the band’s upcoming album, promising a relentless assault on your senses. Brace yourself and give it a listen:
“Rot Eternal” was the second composition to emerge from the depths of Cognitive’s creative cauldron. During their pre-production recording, the band realized they had something truly extraordinary on their hands. The repetition of riffs, the earth-shattering slam in the middle, and the unexpected outro all flowed seamlessly, creating a unique and captivating experience. Accompanied by Dahmer Art’s artwork, which perfectly captures the song’s lyrical theme revolving around everyone’s favorite topic—zombies—the single is a thrilling stand-alone release. But that’s not all, as the band teases the arrival of their new album next year!
But that’s not the only news from Cognitive—these masters of mayhem are currently embarking on a month-long North American tour alongside Portugal’s Analepsy.

Bristol-based band, Svalbard, has just unveiled the exciting news about their long-awaited studio album, ‘The Weight Of The Mask,’ which is set to be released on October 6th through Nuclear Blast Records.
Accompanying the announcement is the release of their powerful single, ‘Faking It,’ accompanied by an engaging music video. The track delves into the struggles of dealing with depression and the realization of wearing a mask to navigate through life. Svalbard’s music aims to provide solace and support during people’s darkest moments, and ‘The Weight Of The Mask’ fearlessly explores the themes of mental illness and depression to help destigmatize these important topics.
Serena Cherry, the lead vocalist and guitarist of Svalbard, describes the album as a testament to fighting one’s inner demons with unwavering determination. The songs on this record showcase a transformation from depression to aggression. While the creation of ‘The Weight Of The Mask’ was a challenging and painful process, it ultimately proved to be cathartic. The album represents two years’ worth of internal darkness that has now been unleashed.
The track ‘Faking It’ sheds light on the emotional disconnect caused by depression, where individuals feel compelled to put on a façade, isolating themselves from genuine human connection. The lyrics explore the pressures of forced positivity and the fear of not being accepted when expressing one’s true emotions. Svalbard questions the roots of society’s intolerance towards depression and challenges the expectations of constant happiness.
Pre-order The Weight Of The Mask + stream ‘Faking It‘ HERE Watch the ‘Faking It‘ video HERE
The captivating ‘Faking It’ video employs deliberate binary oppositions to emphasize the song’s message. It juxtaposes glossy, smiling shots filmed in an artificial setting known as The Selfie Factory with dark and expressive performance footage that represents the internal struggle individuals face.

‘The Weight Of The Mask’ was recorded at The Ranch Production House in the UK. The album was expertly produced and mixed by Lewis Johns, with Grant Berry handling the mastering. Engineering duties were carried out by Lewis Johns, assisted by Matt Janke, with additional editing by Kel Pinchin and Sebastien Sendon.
Renowned artist and illustrator Hestor Aspland created the stunning album artwork, which beautifully captures the essence of Svalbard’s melodies. The intricate floral elements represent the sonic beauty within the music, while the somber animal skull mask symbolizes the lyrical content. Collaborating with Hestor was a dream, and Svalbard is thrilled with the art she has created for them.
Here is the tracklist for ‘The Weight Of The Mask’:

In the realm of music, there are certain compositions that transcend time and space, evoking emotions and painting vivid landscapes in our minds. Alessandro Mercanzin, an Italian musician known as DELREI, has masterfully crafted such an auditory experience with his debut album, “Desolation and Radiation.” This wordless vision of a lost world from the future captivates listeners with its melancholy tones, taking them on a hypnotic journey through an inhospitable post-nuclear desert.
Within the haunting melodies of “Desolation and Radiation,” Mercanzin weaves together a tapestry of musical elements. The shadowy twang of electric guitars, the dusty spectral melodies, the driving orchestral timpani, and the rustic sounds of instruments like banjo, harmonica, and mouth harp all contribute to the orchestration of this mythic western of the future. It is a sonic landscape that embraces solitude, cold haunted nights, and lonely red vistas, leaving the listener with a sense of somber personal reflection.
Reflecting on his creative process, Alex explains, “To me, ‘Desolation and Radiation’ represents a melancholic portrayal of lost dreams in a future world. With a ghostly sound echoing in my mind, I sought to convey dark and intriguing riffs, realizing that I could speak volumes with just a few whispered notes from my guitars. Each song on this album paints a dramatic scene, transporting me to a reverb-drenched wasteland in a parallel universe.”

Assisting Mercanzin in shaping this musical opus is producer Maurizio Baggio, known for his work with artists like Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, and Nuovo Testamento. Together, they explore various genres, incorporating influences from Giallo-pulp and the evocative scores that have shaped Mercanzin’s musical evolution. While they tease, avoid, and embrace the clichés of Italian Spaghetti Westerns, their adventurous sound emerges from a rich tapestry of guitars, vintage instruments, reverbs, and the traditional Sicilian harp known as the marranzanu. Maurizio’s vintage synths and old 60s organs add depth and texture to the compositions, while Michele Tedesco’s haunting trumpets in “Nowhere to Ride” and Stefano Miozzo’s pedal steel guitar in “Far from Here” provide additional layers of musicality.
Beyond the immersive sonic experience, “Desolation and Radiation” carries a veiled message—a cautionary tale that urges us to learn from the mistakes of the past to prevent a terrifying future. It serves as a reminder that our actions in the present have the power to shape the trajectory of our world.

Canadian kings of technical death metal, CRYPTOPSY, have made a resounding announcement that has sent shockwaves through the metal community. After over a decade of anticipation, they are set to release their highly awaited full-length album, titled “As Gomorrah Burns,” on September 8th, courtesy of Nuclear Blast Records. The groundbreaking quartet is back with a vengeance, showcasing their renewed vigor and unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of extreme music.
“As Gomorrah Burns” promises to be one of CRYPTOPSY’s most tumultuous and ambitious albums yet, continuing their tradition of sonic exploration and complex songwriting. Vocalist Matt McGachy expressed his excitement about the upcoming release, describing it as a meticulous endeavor that perfectly blends the old-school CRYPTOPSY sound with modern twists. The album features infectious grooves and a breath of fresh air, allowing the riffs to shine in ways that haven’t been seen in their recent releases. McGachy is thrilled about this new era for CRYPTOPSY, and fans can expect a captivating musical journey that stays true to the band’s roots while embracing their evolution.
To give fans a taste of what’s to come, CRYPTOPSY has unleashed the first single, “In Abeyance,” along with an accompanying music video directed by Chris Kells (The Agonist, Beneath The Massacre). McGachy describes the single as a conceptually intense exploration of feeling isolated in a new environment, searching for a sense of belonging while mourning a previous life. Musically, “In Abeyance” is a forceful slap in the face, appearing deceptively straightforward but revealing layers of intricate complexity upon closer inspection.
Fans can pre-order “As Gomorrah Burns” now and stream “In Abeyance” to get a taste of the fury that awaits them. The album promises to be a relentless onslaught of extreme metal, featuring tracks like “Lascivious Undivine,” “Flayed The Swine,” and “Praise The Filth.” The anticipation surrounding the release is at an all-time high, with listeners eagerly awaiting the album’s arrival.
Looking back at CRYPTOPSY’s storied career, it’s evident that they have continually pushed the boundaries of death metal. Formed in 1992, the band quickly became known for their uncompromising attack and unparalleled musicality. Their debut album, “Blasphemy Made Flesh,” shocked the metal world, and subsequent releases like “None So Vile” and “Once Was Not” solidified their status as apex predators in the genre. They have embarked on high-profile tours, performing over 1,000 shows across 47 countries.
“As Gomorrah Burns” not only serves as a follow-up to their previous EPs, “The Book of Suffering – Tome I” and “The Book of Suffering – Tome II,” but also represents a new era for the band. Crafted over two years during the pandemic, the album is the result of painstaking dedication and an arduous songwriting process. The initial sessions took place in a cabin in the haunting forests of Quebec, providing an eerie backdrop for the creation of this beastly album. Guitarist and producer Christian Donaldson, together with his bandmates Matt McGachy, Flo Mounier, and Olivier “Oli” Pinard, channeled their collective energies to create eight slabs of unadulterated barbarity. The production of the album was helmed by Donaldson, ensuring that CRYPTOPSY’s vision was executed flawlessly.

Conceptually, “As Gomorrah Burns” delves into the collision of the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah with the modern-day Internet. McGachy’s vision was to explore how the internet serves as both a birthplace of invention and a cesspool of exploitation. The album touches upon real-life incidents of online stalking, cults, misinformation, isolation, and intimidation, amplifying their impact through devious ornamentation. The striking cover art, created by Italian artist Paolo Girardi, perfectly complements the album’s old-world lyrical themes, creating a visual representation of the darkness that lies within.
“As Gomorrah Burns” is an aggressive and thought-provoking masterpiece that pierces through the mundane and relentlessly delivers uncompromising death metal. The album captures the essence of what our world needs—a ferocious and unyielding musical force that only CRYPTOPSY can provide. McGachy emphatically declares that CRYPTOPSY is not merely a legacy band but a modern and relevant force in extreme music. With “As Gomorrah Burns,” CRYPTOPSY invites listeners to embark on a thrilling journey that is as relevant today as it was 30 years ago.
In addition to the upcoming album, CRYPTOPSY has tantalized fans with news of an impending fall headlining “Carnival Of Death” tour across North America. The tour dates will be announced soon, and it is sure to be a monumental event for fans of extreme music. Cryptopsy’s live performances are renowned for their energy and intensity, leaving audiences breathless and craving more. This tour will undoubtedly be an unmissable experience for metal enthusiasts.
