 Dark Essence Records have announced the details of the new album from veteran Norwegian Black Metallers Sarkom, which is set to hit the streets on the 2nd December. Titled "Anti-Cosmic Art" the seven-track album was originally intended to mark the band's tenth anniversary, but was delayed due to a combination of personal and technical difficulties that often beset bands and skew carefully laid release plans. Which, as it happens, worked out for the best, because it gave the band time to rethink, and produce an album that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Sarkom is a long way from being a "one trick pony", as is often the case on the Black Metal scene.
To mark the release of "Anti-Cosmic Art" Sarkom will play the following two Norwegian dates: 03 Dec: Good Omens, Trondheim 17 Dec: Revolver, Oslo More information about Sarkom can be found on the band’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/sarkom

Upon Shadows - "Geometry Of Music" Spotify: https://play.spotify.com/album/5PJwYVTOuE3WLyxZr4YkM4 Mixed and mastered by Mika Pohjola at Soundmix recording studio, Oulu, Finland. http://tamarapicardo.wix.com/uponshadows https://www.facebook.com/Upon-Shadows-128947133826217/?fref=ts https://uponshadows.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOrxo73ZeVuYnvWnyt5ux0g  Metal Sucks is streaming Bestialized's new album in its entirety HERE. It's a niche style but if you like your music to be volatile and scathing in the black / death metal vein, you need this in your life. Bestialized return to wreak havoc one more time. 'Termestella Cvltvs' is the band's third and latest, and even more ferocious than the predecessors. This is Slayer of the 21st century - if you consider how extreme the sound can develop while keeping that same fiery intent alive and with the aid of the newest and the harshest form of black and death metal. Only the South Americans can whip up such a storm, taking a leaf from revolutionary acts like Krisuin, Abhorrence and Rebaelliun, and furthermore using that level of lightening-speed execution to propel an even sharper and vicious form of extreme metal. The hate that is emitted here is unparalleled. The causticity is palpable - your skin can feel it. It's time to take things up a notch or 10 and revel in this new form of malicious and wicked music. This is the purest form of blistering black metal that remains unabated and ruthless from start to finish. A real adrenaline rush, if there ever was one for this style of uncompromising music.

Productions sets December 6th as the international release date for the long-awaited third album of long-running black metal cult Crimson Moon, Oneironaut. Crimson Moon was established in 1994 by Scorpios Androctonus - known also for his work with Acherontas, Zemial, Demoncy, Melechesh, and Akrabu among others - as a solo project in the U.S. and relocated to Germany in 1998. After working with different members throughout the years, 2016 reveals the long-awaited third full-length release titled Oneironaut. Four years in the making, this album has returned to the roots of the line-up and was written, performed, and recorded once again entirely by Scorpios Androctonus with additional guest appearances by members of Acherontas, Demoncy, and Ralph Santolla (ex-Deicide, Death, Obituary) on select tracks. The aura of Oneironaut is a familiar one to previous Crimson Moon releases in the spirit and atmosphere, both musically and lyrically. A definite progression is also introduced in song structure and strategic use of additional instruments, including exotic instruments such as the Esraj, Frame Drums, Tanpura, Cretan Lyra, fretless acoustic bass, and innovative uses of acoustic guitars among other stringed instruments and percussion. The music of Oneironaut executes a blend of mystical, dream-like atmospheres which morph from violent and aggressive black metal synonymous with the occult atmosphere. Lyrically, the topics vary from traditional Necronomicon-inspired myths, Sumerian lore, astral projection, and lucid dreaming to content that covers homage to the old goddesses of worship, survival of the fittest/breaking the myths of equality, and spiritual transcendence.
As of 2016, Crimson Moon has established a new and potent full lineup which will debut its first live appearance this month, which will be the first live performance from Crimson Moon in nearly a decade, and the first time to perform live on European soil. More select live shows will follow and are being booked for the remainder of the year and 2017. The new Crimson Moon new line-up consists of: Scorpios Androctonus - bass and vocals Sabnoc - guitars and backing vocals Vual - drums and percussion Agreas - guitars With the new line up, work is currently being put into new material for an upcoming split release that will be announced by the end of 2016, which will forebode much more to come in 2017. www.facebook.com/Crimsonmoonxeper www.w-t-c.org www.facebook.com/W.T.C.Productions
On December 9th, Iron Bonehead Productions, in conspiracy with Tour De Garde, is proud to present Démonos' debut mini-album, From Sacred to Profane, on CD format. Hailing from India, Démonos are a black metal duo who derive ancient esoteric wisdom from the occult, nature, and theology. Démonos reflect the futility of ever-spawning man-made doctrines rising out of those that dictate the race of most humankind. Philosophically, both the sound and imagery is aimed to thwart all known dictates of empty societal conformity as a whole. This is to be achieved and practised through hymns and transmissions ebbing beyond human planes and across endless celestial realms. Led by the entity Démonos Obscurís, who after years of malefic and obscure presence in the Indus underground, has now embarked upon a sonic journey to conjure dark apocalyptic music featuring collaborations with artists of analogous equivalence. Across four tracks in 23 minutes, From Sacred to Profane conjures an avant-garde atmosphere firmly entrenched in the purest black arts. It is a sound both ageless and timeless, the commingling of demonology and the occult spread forth by enshrouded parapsychological spirit-beings. Now, with the alliance between Iron Bonehead and Tour De Garde, Démonos are prepared to lift their veil and traverse the cosmos with From Sacred to Profane. Two tracks have no been unveiled at the band's Bandcamp HERE. www.facebook.com/demonosmuzik www.ironbonehead.de www.facebook.com/IronBoneheadProductions  My Kingdom Music has revealed details of "Welcome The Dead", the seventh full-length album from Norwegian Black Metallers Crest Of Darkness, which is set to hit the streets on the 2nd December in both CD and Digital formats, as well as a double LP format which will feature a special bonus track. Recorded at the at MLP Studio by Nils H. Mæhlum, and mastered at the Kvålsonic Lab by Tom Kvålsvoll, the nine-track album promises to be the heaviest, darkest and most introspective album in the band's twenty plus year history. The artwork for "Welcome the Dead" features the extraordinary Zombie Foetus sculptures created by the Italian artist Andrea Falaschi.
Crest Of Darkness' line-up, includes founder and frontman Ingar Amlien (Roquefire, Conception, Amlien's Inferno) on bass and vocals, Rebo on guitars, Bernhard (ex- Pale Forest) on drums, and Kristian Wentzel on keyboards. Earlier this year Amlien admitted that he sees "Welcome the Dead" as having a special significance for him personally: " I've put a hell of a lot of myself and my emotions into this album, even more so than usual. I've always felt that when we are on stage, we create a sort of magic, and this time we have been able to transfer that magic to the recordings. You could say this is my personal Black Mass".

The new full length has been recorded at Studio 148 by Marius Costache, who also handled the mix and master.
