British Death Metal mongers DECREPID have finished their sophomore album and it's ready to be unleashed upon mankind!! Title for this monstrous work is "Osseous Empire" and it was originally intended for a 2014 release, but line up changes forced the band to delay their plans until 2015.
Formed back in 2005, and specially since the release of the band's debut album "Devoted to Death" in 2011, which was very well received by the scene, DECREPID have been forging a reputation by themselves as one of UK's most pure and uncompromising Death Metal acts with a sound that's brutal yet old school sounding with songs full of killer and crushing riffs. Definitely not for modern trendy core-boys.
Track listing for "Osseous Empire" is as follows:
1. Concussion
2. Death Walks Above
3. Indulgence in Self Destruction
4. Ashumaniac
5. Into to the Doom
6. Breeding Anger
7. Fear Within
Swedish/Spanish/Norwegian combo PUTREVORE, are finishing the recordings for their third album. The band, always formed by Rogga Johanson (PAGANIZER) & Dave Rotten (AVULSED), is again hiring the drumming skills of Brynjar Helgetun (THE GROTESQUERY) who already played on the band's previous album "Macabre Kingdom" released in 2012. The band is sure that this album is their most heavy, crushing, rotting and thick work so far!! You can expect the perfect sound definition of their own name!!
PUTREVORE's new album will be entitled "Tentacles of Horror" and recordings were made during the first month of 2015 in each respective member's country of origin for a latter mixing process that will be handled by Dave Rotten himself at his own Sanctuary Studios and most probably will be mastered at Overhead Studios by Raúl Fournier "Furni", who's currently working on the recordings of the new AVULSED EP. Cover artwork, as on their two previous albums, will be handled by Juanjo Castellano who's again doing a masterpiece!!
Colombian true living Death Metal legends MASACRE have inked a deal with Xtreem Music for the European version of their latest album "Brutal Aggre666ion", the 5th in their long career for this band formed back in 1988 that has built a truly incorruptible cult status as one of the most mythic south american bands ever!!
First released only for the colombian territory through the band's own label Mórbida Prod. in October 2014, "Brutal Aggre666ion" is another solid step in the band's discography, showing a truly brutal form of Death Metal in their traditional style, empowered, once again, by the production skills of HATE ETERNAL/ ex-MORBID ANGEL's Erik Rutan at his own Mana Studios in Tampa, Florida.
Track listing for "Brutal Aggre666ion" is as follows:
1. La Guerra
2. Mutilated
3. Bullets

After releasing their astonishing debut EP, "A Hymn of the Vicious Monster" in May 2014 through Xtreem Music, Iranian Death Metal act AZOOMA have recently entered the studio to start recording their first full length studio album which will be released this year again via Xtreem Music. The recording will take place in Mashhad at 'Azooma Studio' under the supervision of the band's drummer Saeed Shariat.
Saeed commented: "We are excited indeed to bring some new material to our fans. Our upcoming album will have more horror, a more complicated story and more blood. This is something different and we assure you that this one will blow your mind, it's something you haven't heard before".
Also the band has recently signed a management contract with Mohsen Fayazi and Stargazer Consultancy. Mohsen commented on AZOOMA's forthcoming album: "I am glad that these guys found their way on the Death Metal path of glory. By listening to the demos of Azooma's upcoming album, I can say they found their signature style in this genre of music".
Check out what the band had to say to their fans from the studio on the Youtube clip here: http://youtu.be/odfoC5dAEkU
Spanish Death Metal veterans AVULSED are entering the studio this friday to begin recording process of 4 new songs for an upcoming new EP due to come out next September right before embarking on their 5th European tour (3rd one as headliners).
Title for this new EP will be "Altar of Disembowelment" and it's going to include 4 new songs plus a cover song of BLACK SABBATH's "Neon Knights" recorded in December 2010 for a spanish tribute to B.S. that never happened, so the band decided to use it on this release. Recording and mixing will be handled by Furni (ex-AVULSED drummer) at his own Overhead Studios to be mastered later on by Dan Swanö and Unisound Studios.
The 4 new songs are following a heavier direction than the previous stuff still with the unmistakable Death Metal style of AVULSED and will mean the recording debut with the band for drummer Erik Raya. Cover artwork will be once again handled by the genius Juanjo Castellano.
Late 2014 & 2015 is showing AVULSED in better shape than ever having already played festivals like Hammersonic (Indonesia), Metal Head's Mission (Ukraine), Euskal Assault, (Spain), BOS Deaftest (Greece), Apulia Metalfest (Italy) and tons of shows around Spain. Upcoming dates for this year includes:

AMPUTORY spent the whole year 2014 and first months of 2015 recording "Ode to Gore" and it's now when this beast of an album will get you all by the balls!!

Spanish new Thrash Metal sensation HOLYCIDE have launched a killer new video-lyric from the song "Apocalyse Riders", made by DP Rey and taken from their debut EP "Toxic Mutation" released back in February 2015 through Xtreem Music.
"Toxic Mutation" is a gasp of fresh air in the healthy and uprising spanish Thrash Metal scene, showing an intense and aggressive yet catchy style discovering the vocal capabilities of AVULSED's Dave Rotten who's surprising everyone with his raging and dynamic thrashing style. HOLYCIDE are here to claim and preserve the true essence of Thrash Metal, the aggressive way, no wimp shit!! Any lover of bands like DARK ANGEL, INFERNÄL MÄJESTY, ATROPHY, CORONER, SEPULTURA (beneath), SACRIFICE... will go nuts with HOLYCIDE!!
British Death Metal mongers RAVENS CREED have inked a deal with Xtreem Music for the release of their upcoming album which is currently being recorded at Tenko Studios in Nottingham and will be entitled "Ravens Krieg".
RAVENS CREED was formed back in 2006 by Steve Watson (ex-Iron Monkey & Cerebral Fix) and Jay Graham (ex-Skyclad, Return to The Sabbat and Iommi) being joined by Frazer Craske (ex-Sabbat) and Ben Ward (Orange Goblin) who later left the band during some of the various line-up changed the band suffered, being nowadays completed by Al Osta (Cerebral Fix) & Rod Boston.
The discography of RAVENS CREED is compound by four EP's and two albums, these two through Czech label Doomentia: "Albion Thunder" ('09) and "The Power" ('12) where the band has been developing their very own style of old fashioned Death Metal with a Crusty edge inspired by the sound of bands like MASTER, VENOM and HELLHAMMER.

CHRIST DENIED
2.4.2015
Spanish legedary Brutal Death Metal band CHRIST DENIED, formed back in 1994, is getting ready for their very 1st live performance as a quartet after changing from a 2-piece to a 4-piece band!! This will be next 1st of May in Madrid (Spain) during the 1st edition of the MADRID DEATHFEST alongside with bands like INTERNAL SUFFERING, INCINERATE, NEUROMA, KEVLAR SKIN, VIRULENCY & CRANIAL BLOWOUT.
Back in February, CHRIST DENIED rehearsed for the first time as a quartet and here you can see a video of that first session: https://youtu.be/cIkIEtiAchk as well as the very first band photo with the current line-up (from left to right):
Roger B. - Guitars
Dave Rotten - Vocals
Roger P. - Bass
Erik Raya - Drums
The two latest addition to CHRIST DENIED are drummer Erik Raya who also plays in AVULSED & FAMISHGOD and bass player Roger P. who also plays in TIBOSITY together with Roger B. (INFECTED FLESH). The band is now getting ready for their upcoming live show and after that will start writing new material for their 3rd album, first one having a human drummer after more than 20 years of existence!!
Recently reunited swedish masters of the darkest and heaviest Death Metal ever to come out from that country, namely MOONDARK, will see "The Shadowpath", their only recording to date, re-issued through Xtreem Music next May 1st.
MOONDARK was born in 1993 with members that later have played in bands like INTERMENT, ENTRAILS, CENTINEX, KATATONIA, UNCANNY, DELLAMORTE, FULMINATION and many more. They only recorded a 7-song demo in '93 that remained unreleased until 2007 when it was released on (supposedly) limited edition on CD & 12"LP with quite poor presentation. The style of MOONDARK is an incredibly heavy, rotting an dark Death Metal in the vein of bands like early CRYPT OF KERBEROS, CREMATORY (swe), BOLT THROWER, ETERNAL DARKNESS...
Now "The Shadowpath" gets a proper re-issue featuring new cover artwork by the killer artist Juanjo Castellano and a complete booklet with liner notes, lyrics, original demo cover, live photos from both their only show in '93 and their reunion show at Killtown Deathfest 2014. First will come the CD version with a limited T-shirt run and some months later there will be a vinyl version with gatefold cover and all that mentioned stuff.
Finnish Death Metal veterans TORTURE PULSE have inked a deal with Xtreem Music for the release of their upcoming 2nd album which is currently being completed and will be entitled "God Leash".
TORTURE PULSE were formed back in 2005 featuring members from MYTHOS, BELIAL & IMPALED NAZARENE and have released a demo in 2008, followed by their debut album "Plague Poetry" in 2010, a split 7"EP with JOHANSSON & SPECKMANN and a 7-song mini CD entitled "Devilroot" in 2014. Their style is a heavy and catchy Death Metal in its purest form with a sound reminiscent of bands like GRAVE, ENTOMBED, BOLT THROWER, AUTOPSY, CARNAGE, VOMITORY...
Release date for "God Leash" is not settled yet, but will happen during this summer and soon we'll reveal the album cover art as well as an advance song, track listing and a definite release date for it. In the meantime, visit TORTURE PULSE's website at www.facebook.com/torturepulse and listen to their latest EP here: www.torturepulse.bandcamp.com
SACROPHOBIA
20.3.2015
25 years after their inception, one of Spain's Death Metal pioneers SACROPHOBIA, is about to see all their recordings officially re-issued on CD under the title of "Dark Requiems".
Their 1st demo "Only Death is Irreversible" came out in 1991 through Drowned Productions (pre-Repulse/pre-Xtreem Music) being followed by a 2nd demo recorded in '92 which was destined to be a 7"EP on Seraphic Decay Records, but that never happend and thus remained unreleased. Then in '93 two more songs were records for a 5-way split CD with other 4 spanish Death Metal bands entitled "Dead Flesh". A total of 10 studio tracks plus 3 unreleased tunes recorded live in '93 and 2 live cover songs, was the legacy of SACROPHOBIA before splitting up in early '94. After this, one of their guitarists, Juancar, joined AVULSED.
SACROPHOBIA were true devotees of the most pure swedish Death Metal style reminiscent of bands like GOD MACABRE, UTUMNO, NIHILIST, MORPHEUS, CARNAGE, AFFLICTED... and this demo-collection is a must for any Death Metal specialist who isn't happy with just bad quality mp3's from the net. This CD comes with remastered sound and killer booklet with liner notes, demo covers, band photos, flyers, gig posters...
REINCARNATION, one of the most veteran and legendary Brutal Death Metal bands from the Spanish scene, are about to see their 1997 debut album "Void" re-issued together with their previous mini CD "Seed of Hate" from 1995. Both recordings will come with remastered sound and 4 live bonus with perfect soundboard quality taken from the legendary 1998 Repulsive Festival. Everything will come revamped design still retaining the awesome artwork painted by the mythic artist Joe Petagno (MOTÖRHEAD's favourite).
All fans of authentic Brutal Death (no modern -core shit) will applaude this re-issue, as this one belongs to the league of killer 90's albums when this style wasn't polluted by trendy fashion-boys influences (call them gay-looking fringe-boys or ridiculous rap-looking cap-posers). Remember the good old times of bands like PYREXIA, SKELETON OF GOD, SUFFOCATION, INTERNAL BLEEDING... and you'll get the point!!
REINCARNATION is currently hard working on their comeback album (although they never really splitted) that started to be recorded a couple of years ago and was interrupted because of several problems with the label that was supposed to release it. Now recordings are almost finished and soon they'll start the mixing process. Tentative title for this album, planned for fall 2015, is "The Beginning of the End" and will see the band digging deeper in their own style with a more brutal approach, tighter skills and much better production, still sounding 100% REINCARNATION!!
Check a studio video with a fragment of the new album clicking here.
Friday the 13th... what a better day to announce the signing through Xtreem Music of italian horror freaks GRAVESITE?? Despite being a new band, formed in 2014 and with only one demo release, the band is formed by experienced musicians coming from bands like HAEMOPHAGUS, UNDEAD CREEP & CANCER SPREAD to name a few.
GRAVESITE's devotion for authentic Death Metal in its purest form, has managed to catch the attention of Xtreem Music and they're already working on the final details before entering Umberto Furlan's Inline Recording Studio during the 2nd half of April to record their debut album tentatively entitled "Horrifying Nightmares..." and whose release date is planned for July 1st, right before embarking on an European tour together with RESTOS HUMANOS.
If you're a true Death Metal lover and go nuts with bands like AUTOPSY, GRAVE, CARCASS... then GRAVESITE is for you and you shouldn't waste a second to visit their Bandcamp site to listen and download (for free!!) their debut demo "Obsessed by the Macabre" right here: www.gravesite.bandcamp.com

It was in 1991 when the 1st demo by spanish Death Metallers HUMAN WASTE was released on the legendary Drowned Productions (pre-Repulse/pre-Xtreem Music) and this was the 3rd title on this label. There weren't almost any Death Metal bands in the spanish scene, but HUMAN WASTE arose like a whirlwind with their brutal, twisted and somewhat technical Death Metal creating an own and recognizable sound with their weird riffing and complex structures.
HUMAN WASTE recorded 4 demos, one each year, between 1991 & 1994, but the 4th one, even if it was Death Metal, it was already showing a deviation towards more progressive & experimental sounds, so this release coming out in 2015 through Xtreem Music, is focusing on the first three demos, the most brutal and merely Death Metal. These three demos: "The Miracle of Death" ('91), "Existential Nausea" ('92) & "Promo Tape '93" ('93) are being re-issued in one CD entitled "Harvest Remnants" with remastered sound, liner notes and lots of bands photos, demo covers, flyers, etc. and comes with a killer artwork by canadian artist Derek Restivo.
The debut EP of spanish Thrashers HOLYCIDE, featuring Dave Rotten (AVULSED) on vocals, is totally finished and ready to go!! So we can already advance the cover artwork for "Toxic Mutation", created by US artist Mark Riddick as well as an advance track.
The recording and mixing process of "Toxic Mutation" took around 5 months, being recorded in different studios and mixed and mastered by Raúl Fournier "Furni" at his own Overhead Studios, achieving a truly great production!! The EP contains 5 own songs plus a cover version of DARK ANGEL's "Merciless Death", showing such a fresh, aggressive, dynamic, intense and catchy Thrash Metal like most probably you haven't heard for a long time!! Lovers of bands like DARK ANGEL, INFERNAL MAJESTY, ATROPHY, CORONER, SACRIFICE, SEPULTURA (beneath)... will find in HOLYCIDE a new force to reckon!!
Tracklist for "Toxic Mutation" is as follows:
1. No Escape
2. Blood Typhoon
3. Apocalypse Riders
4. Radiation Endgame
5. Life Turned to Dust
6. Merciless Death (Dark Angel)
2014 has been a very productive year for Xtreem Music!! 27 releases in 12 months with bands from places like Iran and Nepal, but now we can announce the signing of a quite veteran band from... China!! They're ULULATE, a one-man band that started back in 2001 as a Black Meta outfit and now have mutated into a solid Death Metal act.
ULULATE released their debut album back in 2002 and then some EP's and splits until in 2014, Spectre, the only man behind the band, who plays all instruments, recorded a new album entitled "Back to Cannibal World" displaying a very personal vision of horror themed Death Metal incorporating weird and twisted elements in it. To give you an idea of ULULATE's sound, it comes as a blend of influences from bands like very early CARBONIZED, AUTOPSY, IMMOLATION demo days, OLD FUNERAL and even japanese NECROPHILE.
Cover artwork for "Back to Cannibal World", depicting some chinese zombies, has been created by killer spanish artist César Valladares and tracklist for the album is as follows:
1. Not Always Be Silent
2. Red Wine
3. Decease and Sadness
4. Anxiety of Mortality
5. Enchantment
6. Mrs. Cobra
7. Real Catastrophe
8. Song Dan Ping
Release date for "Back to Cannibal World" has been set for the 1st of February 2015 and since there's no official website for ULULATE (and there won't be), we invite you to listen to this exclusive advance track on the following links:
