BOG STENCHMARE

Following the frostbitten melancholy of " Kaamos " (2024) and the deeply emotional " Pohjoisen Sydän " EP (2025), the band now descends deeper into the mythic heart of Finland itself. " Songs From The Veil " is an immersive journey through ancient belief, northern nature, and human fragility; an album where folklore and emotion become inseparable beneath the endless Nordic night. Rooted in Finnish legends and old spiritual traditions, the album explores tales of the Soulbird ("Sielulintu") , ancient creation myths, the shadowed realms of the afterworld, and the legendary Fire Fox whose blazing tail ignites the northern skies. These mythic visions are interwoven with stark reflections on winter, darkness, grief, and loss, creating an atmosphere both haunting and deeply personal. Musically, AS THE SUN FALLS expand and refine their signature blend of atmospheric and melodic death metal. Sweeping melodies collide with crushing riffs, fragile bea...

Embrace Of Souls present “Eversun”, the new Official Visualizer taken from the band’s latest album "The Battle Of The Dead" out today! Blending European symphonic power metal with driving riffs, layered keyboards, epic choirs and dynamic dual vocals, “Eversun” showcases the band’s most mature and emotionally charged songwriting to date. The track perfectly captures the balance between melody, darkness and epic atmosphere that defines the entire album. "The Battle Of The Dead" is an 11-track fantasy concept set in a medieval world consumed by a mysterious plague slowly leading kingdoms toward a final conflict between the living and the dead. Themes of power, betrayal, sacrifice and hope unfold throughout the record, creating a fully connected musical journey. Following the singles “Desolate Lands” and “The Battle Of The Dead”, “Eversun” further expands the band’s symphonic and epic power metal vision with powerful vocal interplay, dramatic arrangements and hi...

  Dallas (TX) - Progressive Death Metal duo, Sallow Moth , will release new album, Hydrophilous Brood July 24 on Willowtip Records ! Hydrophilous Brood takes place in Pamugara, a dimensional nest immersed in a lush world where organisms are rematerialized into new hybrid species after passing through a powerful portal, a highly unpredictable artifact known as the ‘Mossbane Lantern’. Each song has a thematic connection to various artifacts on the previous album (Mossbane Lantern), extrapolating the characteristics and aftereffects of those artifacts within this temperamental environment of a planet. Musically, Sallow Moth goes hand in hand with the aforementioned lyrical themes of transformation in that the continuous evolution of the project has become a signature feature with each album. This album retains a portion of the genre-shifting approach of previous works, but deliberately exhibits more focus on the intersection of technical death metal and brutal death metal, espe...

Yo, what's good bogs? More spewings from the muck pools soon featuring reviews and news. Peace out from the Bog! #smashthegate

So, Bog was sat around on the bog bike wondering what to do, he’d just behaved normally on the previous review, and he needed to hear something to get that muck mongrel blood pumping through his veins, alleyway rat style, but then, the bog spat  BLÜDWYRM , and Bog’s face gasped with joy. 1. Preacher Of My Own Demise is the opening track with a thick fat ass riff like a brick necklace, pulling someone down to the earth. The signature riff is suffocating, oppressive, and sucks the air out of the room. Wonderful announcement to say it’s nasty ass music time and Bog jumped around in the bog splashing puddles of chemical dirt everywhere. 2.26 mins has a vocal drop to be joined by a drum drop around 2.29 mins to take us into a riff, which shatters, completely shatters. It’s the kind of villainous riff that Bog would find motivating at slimming club when some frustrated f*cked off Nana cuts into a cake and says ‘This is how much you need to lose this week , if you still want your shit...

  Blackment , the Finnish masters of diverse melodic metal, have released more new material from their upcoming second studio album. Along with the release of the "Afterlife" single, the band unfortunately also has to announce that the album’s release has been delayed from the originally planned date in June. "The production of the last five tracks took a bit longer than expected, so we're way behind schedule. In a situation like this, it's better to take some extra time so we can polish the album to sound exactly the way it's supposed to," the band says. The newly released "Afterlife" offers a great preview of what’s to come on the upcoming album. Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube Music etc.): https://push.fm/fl/blackment-afterlife “Afterlife is a really dynamic song, and I think it really highlights the strengths of every member of Blackment. The song showcases our lighter, more atmos...

  Welcome again to another presentation from the bog. This time, something quite spectacular was thrown our way.  1. Caesar, Bejwelled begins with a lead intro softly setting the tone and atmosphere for the track, which Gregg Neville’s vocals then join to strengthen it further, serving as a clean story telling arc. The track transitions with heavy lead riffs to formulate the mood and feeling further whilst Gregg’s vocals transform into a harsher approach. Think a slower vocal  version of black metal, or unclean fronted sludge, or unclean darkwave, and it's pretty much the style when it moves away from the gentler vocals to demonstrate the despair and anguish for the listener. The drum tracking is very good, which was one of the notable qualities Bog caught through the album. Bog could hear the timing, practice, numerous takes, etc, that have been invested into maintaining a solid running supporting function, which makes the track as much as the riffs, along with the...
