After their last long player “De Zoute Kwel”, which received numerous positive reviews and a lot of attention in the scene, “De Tyfus, De Teerling” is the latest attack with their very own, viciously driving “Primitive Dutch Necrorock”. The band from Utrecht, which has been around since 2012, effectively mixes first and second wave black metal with hefty pinches of punk, d-beat and Motörhead. The result is groovy as hell – or rather: “swings like a floppy tit”, as vocalist Jorre says – but alongside raging, rocking crushers and passages of dashing destruction, there are also moments in which everything shifts into a melancholy twilight. With “De Tyfus, De Teerling”, GRAFJAMMER present nine hard-hitting tracks (plus an intro) that tell of religious madness, self-deception and destruction in their mother tongue. In doing so, they delve even deeper than before into the dark underbelly of society and Dutch history. The album title is a variation of “Tyfus! Tering!”, a popular curse combination in Dutch, in the GRAFJAMMER version it means: “The Typhus (and), the Cube”. Anyway: Time to groove and swing! – Fast, raw, dirty and intoxicating like sniffing amphetamine.

Or, to put it in Dog's own words: “We are 100% metal.

Imperium TerrorTotal: 40:09 Die okkulte Formation AMYSTERY ist zurück mit ihrem vierten Album »Chaos Empire Satan«, ein gleichermaßen rohes und edles Werk zur Bewahrung und Zelebrierung des traditionellen Black Metal als eigenständige Kunstform. Dabei sind sie kein uninspiriertes Abbild einer alten Genregröße, sondern schmieden vielmehr kompromisslos ihren eigenen, authentischen Schwarzstahl, der sich vielfach im Angriffsmodus befindet, sich in Kompositionen wie »Spirits In Fire« oder »Infestation« aber auch zu erhabener, mystischer Größe aufschwingt. Nach einer mehrjährigen Schaffenspause hatten sich die Bajuwaren AMYSTERY 2018 mit einer veränderten Besetzung wieder zusammengeschlossen, um gemeinsam weiter an neuem Material zu arbeiten. Im Sommer 2021 kam es erneut zu einem Besetzungswechsel, seitdem besteht die Band aus drei Personen: Grond (Drums), Culpa (Bass) und Nephesus (Vocals, Gitarre).AMYSTERY ist keine Band, bei der ein neues Album daraus erwächst, dass sich Individuen gegenseitig im Alleingang aufgenommene Tondateien auf die Rechner schicken – die Ideen, Riffs etc. für die zehn Songs von »Chaos Empire Satan« wurden gemeinsam im Proberaum gesammelt und dort ausgearbeitet. Auf ihrer Tour im Februar 2023 wurden bereits drei neue Stücke präsentiert, die restlichen sechs entstanden im Zeitraum bis Dezember 2023.Inhaltlich behandelt »Chaos Empire Satan« die Theorien und Macht der Chaosmagie nach Peter James Carroll und beschreibt die dazugehörigen Praktiken und Auswirkungen auf das Leben und die Seele. Darüber hinaus geht es um die Ambivalenz zwischen der vermeintlichen Nichtigkeit des irdischen Lebens im kosmischen und multidimensionalen Maßstab und der Größe des eigenen persönlichen (Multi-)Universums mit der daraus erwachsenden maximalen Gestaltungsfreiheit, Wirksamkeit und Einflussnahme. AMYSTERY als Band zelebriert diese Überzeugung, was bereits im Vorgängeralbum »All Hail The Cult« eine tragende Rolle spielte und nun im neuen Album noch mehr ins Zentrum gerückt wurde.Aufgenommen wurde das Album im Januar 2024. Das Cover-Artwork wurde von Malphas (ex-AMYSTERY, ex-Lunar Aurora, Mortem Agmen) gezeichnet, die grafische Gestaltung wurde von Lense Of Sense übernommen.

At the center of PESTKRAFT's traditional, but also compositionally unexpected sounds, are the expressive, infernal vocals of band founder and vocalist Blodig, who outlines the intentions and actions of PESTKRAFT as follows: "Our music is for the darkest audience, those who are attracted to the other side, death, ancestors and roots. We talk about the importance of the cult of the dead, about the customs corrupted by the modern world. We like to think of death as a friendly figure, which picks us up in our last breath, and of the entities that await us on the other side. The rituals, drums and offerings of the afterlife. Of plagues, diseases and how dreary the world is and the dull emptiness of humans." PESTKRAFT were founded in 2014. After a first announcement of the upcoming black death with the 5-track EP "Pest" in September 2016, the debut "Litanies Of The Plague" followed in 2018. Now "ANCESTRAL SOUNDS" is their damn intense new album - eight devastating songs with an unmistakable reference to the Norwegian tradition of the early 90s.

We at Folter Records have the honor of presenting "Pächschwarz", the 4th album by the Bernese band. Anyone who has already dealt with the formation around frontman Szivilizs in recent years knows that CHOTZÄ have developed over their previous three albums from an initially rumbly-aggressive black metal band with punk influences ("Plump u Primitiv", 2014 and 2021) to a technically adept and consistently complex structured band ("Tüüfuswärk", 2020).Now, a good 4 years after "Tüüfuswärk", they are releasing their next piece of puke, which borrows heavily from the song structures of "Plump u Primitiv", the re-recorded version of which was also released by Folter Records in 2021. Fans of the band can therefore look forward to seeing what roar-along anthems CHOTZÄ have in store for them on their new album. But CHOTZÄ wouldn't be the band they are if "Pächschwarz" didn't also document an impressive development of their music … If you want to be transported back to the dark corners of Bern and have Szivilizs spit in your face in his usual Bernese dialect, you should definitely make a note of the release date in your diary. The album was mixed and mastered at Iguana Studios by Christoph Brandes, who gave the band a thoroughly fitting sound for their latest album.

The guys from Parma are firmly rooted in the Italian scene and have been involved with Whiskey Ritual, Forgotten Tomb, Mother Augusta and the legendary Kirlian Camera, among others. For the TULPA project, however, they are treading their own path with their melodic black metal, which is dedicated to the spiritual concept of Saṃsāra (in Buddhism, Saṃsāra is the sorrowful cycle of life, death and rebirth in which all beings are trapped until they attain enlightenment). On "Temple Of Wounds", rugged black metal with crusty vibes meets wistful melodies – a great combination of strength and attacking spirit with melancholy and fragility. TULPA was founded in 2016 by Alessandro Coletta (vocals, guitar), Andrea Artusi (bass, backing vocals) and Kyoo Nam "Asher" Rossi (drums). After the first local show in 2017, Matteo Cordani joined the band as lead guitarist. Soon after, TULPA released their first EP "Fear Of Fades" as an independent release, and the new four-piece line-up started live activities. In 2019, the debut album "Unhealed" was released, which was rated 8/10 by Rock Hard Italy and 10/10 by Ammo-Underground.at, to mention just two. During the Covid-19 shutdown, bassist Andrea left TULPA to focus on his solo project Arcana Liturgia, whereupon the band rearranged their line-up: Matteo switched from guitar to bass, Kyoo Nam from drums to lead guitar, and Tomaso Fontanini was signed as the new drummer. In 2022, TULPA began the recording sessions for "Temple Of Wounds", which was produced by Alessandro Comerio.

In late 2021 Dmytro met Arkadiusz Niziołek (ex-Sacrilegium) in Gdansk, Poland who convinced him to push on the release. Quickly after that Marcin Urban (ex-Sacrilegium) took over on the guitars and Jakub Milszewski joined on bass. After the start of russo-Ukrainian war in 2022 THREE EYES OF THE VOID decided to release the material as quickly as possible and with help of David Deutsch from 1408-Productions (The Hirsch Effekt, Heretoir) started working on new material for the album to be released in 2023.

At The Diamond Gate 08. Into The Fires Of The Black FlameTotal:  43:07 We can finally announce the third album from underground warlords HALPHAS! After their 2017 debut "Dawn O A Crimson Empire" ("Strong melodic Black Metal" - Powermetal.de; "A cool, melancholic and emotional atmosphere that touches." - Rock Hard) and "The Infernal Path Into Oblivion" ("It's remarkable in what a short time the Germans have played their way to the top in Black Metal." - Metal.de) now follows the next strike from the Hessians. With Berith – known from the paganists Timor Et Tremor - they have a new expressive vocalist in the line-up. SERMONS OF THE BLACK FLAME is once again pure Black Metal, committed to the traditions of the Scandinavian school - but even more varied and epic than its two predecessors. Drummer Tempestas comments in an interview with Undergrounded.de: "We don't want to write songs that go down easily and that you get tired of after three listens. For us, the artistic aspect and the philosophy behind it are very important." Eight new compositions - multifaceted, (not too) melodic, full of passion and atmospheric depth; after the great "Into The Fires Of The Black Flame", one is reluctant to return to the disillusioning reality of the present.

The Abaddon-Magazine judged: "It keeps the tension up high from the first to the last minute. Such a rarity these days." Now the four Finns from WOLVES OF PERDITION have reloaded, once again via Folter Records: "Ultra Violence" is as vehement, merciless and chilled as black metal from the underground should be, but also impresses with numerous razor-sharp melodies (some of which again have a very Swedish flavour), atmospheric depth, attention to detail and, last but not least, an appropriately powerful production. The lyrics? Why constructive criticism of religion and society when it can also be destructive? But this is not a political, but a very personal matter.

The content of the debut album is characterized by personal strife for spiritual gnosis that goes far beyond the cosmic reality.
