Iron Bonehead Productions sets June 21st as the international release date for SCYTHE LORE’s striking debut EP, Through The Mausoleums Of Man, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats. Hailing from Germany, SCYTHE LORE are a death metal band in all its aspects, in every definition.

Its first manifestation of dread, darkness, and doom suitably bears the title Through The Mausoleums Of Man. As that title suggests, the six-track/20-minute record is a journey which details man’s interactions with death […]

Voyag3r announce new album, War Mask

VOYAG3R (pronounced Voyager 3) return with their 3rd studio album, War Mask.

FÖRGJORD set release date for new WEREWOLF album, reveal first track

Today, Werewolf Records, in conspiracy with Hells Headbangers, sets April 19th as the international release date for the highly anticipated fourth album of FORGJORD, Ilmestykset, on CD format. Hailing from the forever-thriving Finnish black metal underground, FORGJORD is one of that scene’s stranger and more unique entities. Existing since the mid ’90s, the trio have largely shied away from the spotlight – even when that spotlight is blacklit and dim – and patiently parcel out their releases, with a sparse-yet-solid discography to date. Uhripuu – their third album, released to critical acclaim in 2017 by Werewolf Records – crystalized the […]

PA VESH EN Sets Release Date For New Iron Bonehead EP, Reveal First Track

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions sets May 3rd as the international release date for a brand-new EP from PA VESH EN, Cryptic Rites Of Necromancy, on 7″ vinyl format. In just a few short years, this Belarusian enigma has built a sizable (and starkly terrifying) catalog, culminating in last year’s critically acclaimed Church Of Bones debut album. Thus far, PA VESH EN has exhibited a stark ‘n’ unsettling style of black metal: from stifled-violence miserablism to seemingly formless drift, from bent-askew melodicism to echo-chamber murk, always with a tortured soul guiding everything, he’s almost effortlessly created a soundworld beyond compare – […]
