(MUCK POOL NEWS) "ANOMIC" UNLEASH NEW ALBUM "THE SPIDER'S CODE" (DEATH THRASH)


Pest Records has announced the signing of Amsterdam-based thrash/death metal band ANOMIC for the physical CD release of their upcoming full-length album, The Spider's Code, dropping November 13, 2026. The album will simultaneously hit all major digital streaming platforms worldwide.

APOCALYPTIC FURY AND MIDDLE EASTERN INFLUENCES:

Founded in August 2023 by Dutch/Syrian guitarist and vocalist Raaf Atasi, ANOMIC delivers an uncompromising blend of death and thrash metal rooted in sonic pessimism, chaos, and existentialism. Drawing structural inspiration from cornerstones like Coroner, Monstrosity, Testament, Death, and Bolt Thrower, the band integrates distinct Middle Eastern musical influences to carve out their own abrasive identity.

Following their 2024 debut EP Opacity via Wormholedeath Records, The Spider's Code marks the band's first comprehensive full-length statement. The entire record was written by Raaf Atasi, with mixing and mastering handled by Yazan Ju.

INTENSE ROAD WORK:

ANOMIC has backed their aggressive studio output with a relentless live campaign, tearing through 25 live performances across Europe during the first half of 2026. An additional 20 tour dates are locked in for the second half of the year to support the incoming record.

STREAMING AND PRE-ORDERS:

Get an early look at the release by checking out the brand new lyric video for the single "The Fatal Cure," alongside previously released tracks "Ode to them" and "End the Plague."

AMULET - "SO COLD" (RISING PHOENIX) (SINGLE, DARKWAVE, DISTORTION PRODUCTIONS, REVIEW)

Image
So Cold (Rising Phoenix)  is the first single from the forthcoming EP ' Purification ' due for release via Distortion Productions on November, 28th.  Amulet is a DC artist and So Cold (Rising Phoenix) is the synthpop incarnation of the darkwave rock track of the same name, and is a faster paced re-imagined version.  It has a contagious tempo with clear vocals that flow in and out with the melody. A very goth tone from what Bog could hear, which has been nicely laced on top of the beat. It's well composed, sectioned together strongly with the hook and transitions. Bog could hear the riffs in the background on an earlier part of the song, which was a good touch, and Bog assumed they are maybe from the original version of So Cold . We aren't too familiar with this style of music, or the artist, but Stephanie Stryker's vocals stand out. They also carry a style that could transfer across  to goth rock/goth metal, and possibly traditional heavy metal. We aren't sure ...

BLOOD HANDSOME: 'NOSTALGIA HOLD' (STRICT TEMPO, RELEASED SEPT 5TH, DARKWAVE/SYNTH, REVIEW)

Image
Bog was due to write about Blood Handsome later on the schedule, but it was moved forward to feature something different from other underground music. Bog will be writing from the stance of what he hears, he doesn't know too much about this/or the particular style/scene, so disclaimer alert. Bog writes about what he hears, and how it makes him think/feel. Blood Handsome opens with Abandon,  which is an up tempo track with a beat that people can move/bounce too. Futuristic and feels ahead of its time, but also embodies the synth/goth influences, which Bog can hear. I guess dark synth with a little cyberpunk to a point that invokes the imagination to think of cyberpunk movies/novels, and generally space/planets, and all things in the not so distant future.  Abandon has a sinister/dark vibe, leaving the impression of robots dancing on a space station. Leaving imagination world for a moment, and turning attention to the music itself for a deeper dive, an attempted one, hop...

TOMB SLAB (SLUDGE, REVIEW) - SELF TITLED (RELEASED JULY 17TH, ROAD TO MASOCHIST RECORDS)

Image
Bog Land classic coming up here y'all! Tomb Slab embody the stench, muck, dirt, and pure stinky ass dirty unclean rivers of mud that flow through special areas of the swamp. They are hideously revolting and play a gut wrenching style of sludge with some doomy potions! The album is as disgusting as the time Bog had to use a nail file to remove the mould between his ball sack and thigh. Sometimes you have to use toilet paper to wipe it off, but it had dried a little too hard, so it was a fun day, but enough of the Bog mishap memoirs for now.  Bog is attempting the selector lens, but he may f*ck off into commentary mode whilst rolling around in bog water from pure excitement.  Tomb Slab are on the  Road To Masochist  roster along with fellow sickness sludge mongers  BLÜDWYRM . All of them have caught Bog's ear, so shout to y'all!   1. Kingdom of Tyranny opens with a crushing riff intro supported by the vocals in a symphony of desolate grime to assault th...
