Heavy Metal Around the Globe
Olde – Pilgrimage
“One small world, in decline.” – In Defiance
Sacred Reich – Ignorance/Surf Nicaragua/The American Way
That was how things rolled back in the day folks, along with a lot of tape trading, pen pals and obscure handwritten zines that would be distributed by the most strange ways…
ALBUM STREAM: Domestic Terror – Domestic Terror
What I really love about the album are the nasty, dissonant riffs thrown into the mix throughout. That’s what really gets it all cooking for me.
Summoning the Lich – United in Chaos
Summoning the Lich unleashes United in Chaos – a record that takes the standard expectations of melodic and technical death metal and injects it with an insane amount of adrenaline, blazing through a labyrinth of incredibly strong guitar riffage and next-level vocals.
Stortregn – Impermanence
The sound is fresh, but certifiably Stortregn.
portrayal of guilt – We Are Always Alone
Who is currently doing a better blend of anti-music? Go ahead…I’ll wait.
Carrion Bloom – Heretic Howl
Rugged and abrasive, the album comes at you full on from the moment you press play.
Wharflurch – Shitslime
Have we heard this genre mixing before? Duh. Of course. Here’s the thing though, the changing of said genres is absolutely seamless.
Spire – Temple of Kronos
…what I discovered was an offer of a selection of different styles and approaches under the black metal banner, fitting together cohesively like the inner gears, springs, and screws of a monstrous timepiece.
Pupil Slicer – Mirrors
Mirrors by Pupil Slicer is a highly enjoyable and unbelievably powerful collection of twelve tracks that demand and deserve attention.

The album brings the realization that each track can stand alone and they could all be introduction points to the listeners depending on the specific tastes the next victim holds.
Pursuit – Two Singles
File this one under bands to watch.
FEATURE: Sacrilegious Crown – Culto II: Under The Blasphemous Spirits
“Raw black metal is not for everyone, of course, but its strength lies in its ambiguity.”
Pessimista – Uma saída
Through the extra time allowed on a full length, the artist really spreads their wings, taking the time to develop each feeling, each howl, each riff, each drum stroke.
Abiotic – Ikigai
Igikai is the product of a group of insanely talented musicians that craved nothing more than to craft their vision into art with palpability, with longevity, and with true passion.
ALBUM PREMIERE: Rampancy – Coming Insurrection
The album is ethereal, but also urgent.
Great Falls/ Throes – Split 7″
‘Immersive’ is probably a good adjective to describe this record as a whole, but I think I’d rather use ‘refreshing.’
The Body – I’ve Seen All I Need To See
It often feels horrifyingly nightmarish, but also warm and inclusive.
Sarin – You Can’t Go Back
You Can’t Go Back is heavy! Sometimes that means musically heavy, but throughout the entire album, it means emotionally heavy.
TRACK PREMIERE: The Scalar Process – Cosmic Flow
The Scalar Process is definitely technical death metal, but it’s as if tech death went to the gym, studied martial arts, and learned bomb making, all to better seek revenge on their high school bully.

Palus Somni – Monarch Of Dark Matter
it becomes clear as the album progresses that we are confronted with an increasingly elevated level of diversion, dynamism, and ferocity.
VIDEO PREMIERE: Dayglo Mourning – Witch’s Ladder
Today, MoshPitNation is proud to premiere the new video for Witch’s Ladder from the sophomore full length Dead Star by the Atlanta stoner doom band Dayglo Mourning. With the use of sepia tones, flames, and heavy use of occult imagery, the video captures the feel of the track beautifully.
Thermohaline – Maelström
Regardless of causes, Maelström is just that: Mind bending!
