"Deth Bü Wolfe" - https://youtu.be/9Orn55Imy2s

"Master of the Hunt" - https://youtu.be/Y52O5tetIs4

Stockholm veterans Sterbhaus play Metal Deluxe which can be described as timeless Death, Thrash, Heavy, Black and Progressive Metal that is neither retro or modern. And Sterbhaus lines this with a heavy dose or dark wit humour.

The band is the home of Marcus Hammarström (previously Elvira Madigan 1998-2008, Shining and currently also in Veile - side project of Ghul from Mayhem), Jimmy Ahovalli and Erik Röjås (previously Ondskapt and Decadence). Started in 2007 as a five-piece and reformed several times since then, Sterbhaus ended up as a trio after having looked back on years releasing absolutely stellar albums, touring Europe (as support for Vader, Melechesh and Shining), South America and after having played several prestigious festivals such as Metal Town, Rock Harz, BlastFest, Extremefest which meant sharing the bill with Slipknot, Amon Amarth, Marilyn Manson, Behemoth, Opeth etc.

In 2025 Sterbhaus made a quite formidable return after a period of being fairly dormant and surprised the scene with the comeback single “Deth Bü Wolfe” which is the knuckle sandwich old/new/awaiting fans never saw coming.

The current status of Sterbhaus is actually quite unknown as the band announced its end in 2019 - while simultaneously making it very clear that there were still several releases to be made. One was the live album “Necrostabbing at Göta Källare” which achieved the unlikely feat of snagging the No1 sales position in Sweden for physical releases and No9 for all Metal and all formats!

While the debut “Angels for Breakfast ...And God for Lunch” (2013) seemed to open most evert door the album “New Level of Malevolence” (2015) - although popular and praised when released, seemed to close those doors instead. Several cancelled tours, being banned for offensive videos (a ridiculous claim ofc), botched promotions, even more cancellations and one or two empty festival seasons together with personal issues put Sterbhaus in such a tight spot the band had a hard time bouncing back. Marcus Hammarström joined Swedish extreme metal titans Shining and toured extensively while Sterbhaus released the Christmas EP “Krampusnacht”. Eventually Marcus quit Shining to focus on the 2025 Sterbhaus album "Next Akin to Chaos".

Either it will be a momentous epitaph or a new beginning.

Line up:

Marcus Hammarström - Vocals/Bass

Jimmy Ahovalli - Guitars

Erik Röjås - Drums

PRESS RELEASE:

Swedish melodic death metal veterans Imperial Domain are back with their brand-new single “Retribution”, taken from their upcoming album Portentum, due for release on November 14, 2025, through Wormholedeath.

About Imperial Domain

Founded in the mid-90s, Imperial Domain quickly made waves in the Swedish death metal underground with their debut demo The Final Chapter (1995), followed by In the Ashes of the Fallen (1996)—a release that earned them national acclaim. Their full-length debut In the Ashes of the Fallen (1998) on Pulverised Records marked the band as a rising force, followed by the critically acclaimed The Ordeal (2003) via Konqueror Records.

After a brief hiatus and the tragic loss of vocalist Tobias Heideman in 2014, the band reemerged stronger than ever with The Deluge (2016), reaffirming their place in the melodic death metal pantheon. Now, Imperial Domain return with Portentum—an album that’s as uncompromising as it is thought-provoking.

Line-Up

Peter Laitinen Sundström – Guitar

Philip Borg – Guitar

Andreas Öman – Vocals

Mattias Hansson – Bass

FIMBUL WINTER RELEASE "WHAT ONCE WAS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Swedish Melodic Death Metal horde FIMBUL WINTER have unleashed their first single, “Mounds of Stones”, offering a fierce preview of their upcoming debut EP What Once Was, due out November 14, 2025.

Formed by former Amon Amarth members Anders Biazzi, Niko Kaukinen, and Fredrik Andersson, together with Clint Williams, FIMBUL WINTER carry forward the legacy of Swedish Death Metal with a renewed fire. “Mounds of Stones” embodies the band’s vision - raw, cold, and unrelenting, yet sharpened by decades of experience.

Listen here: SPOTIFY | APPLE MUSIC

Bandcamp: https://fimbulwinterswe.bandcamp.com/album/what-once-was

Watch the music video, made by SVARTNA FILM: https://youtu.be/RSBIXQnxAF4

The band says about the single:

“We’ve poured our passion, energy, and heart into this track. It’s more than just a song, it’s our way of showing the world what we’re capable of, and we can’t wait for people to finally hear it.

Mounds of Stones tells the story of a figure shaped by suffering, who turns his pain into vengeance. He isn’t remembered by name, only by the silence and the stones left behind.”

Lineup:

Niko Kaukinen – Drums (ex-Amon Amarth founding member)

Anders Biazzi – Guitar (ex-Amon Amarth founding member)

Fredrik Andersson – Lead Guitar (ex-Amon Amarth)

Clint Williams – Vocals (Munitions)

Session bass by Tobias Cristiansson (Necrophobic, Grave, Dismember etc)

For fans of: early Amon Amarth, Unleashed, Hypocrisy, Bolt Thrower, old-school melodic death metal

Fimbul Winter is a new force in Swedish Death Metal, but its foundation runs deep in the genre’s roots. The band unites former Amon Amarth founding members Anders Biazzi (then Hansson) and Niko Kaukinen, with longtime Amon Amarth drummer Fredrik Andersson, solidified with the addition of Clint Williams, whose presence introduced a new dimension of energy and intensity to the band’s sonic identity.

The idea began with a spontaneous reunion performing the Amon Amarth demo from 1994 called “The Arrival Of The Fimbul Winter”. That reconnection quickly turned into something more serious: a desire to create new music that captures the spirit of the early Swedish scene, without compromises and without dilution of intensity.

The result is the debut five-track EP “What Once Was” where Fimbul Winter delivers a sound that is cold, uncompromising, and fiercely authentic. As torchbearers of the Swedish melodic Death Metal tradition the band channels decades of experience while staying true to the sound that defined them, from rediscovered riffs originally written for Amon Amarth to entirely new compositions.

Fimbul Winter is not a side project or nostalgia trip. It’s a band built on unfinished business and a shared intent to continue shaping the sound they helped create.

STERBHAUS RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO "WRECKING THE WORLD"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

STERBHAUS releases second single and video "Wrecking the World" - from first album in ten years

STERBHAUS (ex members of Shining, Elvira Madigan, Ondskapt etc) has released a new single for the song "Wrecking the World" accompanied by a video that should raise an eyebrow or two - if not for it's hilarious message and visuals then at least for the fact that people actually died making the film the video contains clips from.

The "Wrecking the World" video contains footage from the infamous (yet now probably forgotten) disaster movie “Noah’s Ark” from 1928 which had people actually dying during the flood scenes – scenes that included a then unknown John Wayne hired as one of 7500 extras. 2,5 million litres of water were unleashed over people frantically trying to stay above the water line or trying not to be trampled. So if it looks like people are desperately trying to stay alive – they actually really are!

Three people drowned, one person had to have his leg amputated and almost a dozen suffered broken limbs and other serious injuries.

So why does Sterbhaus have a video with footage from Noah's Ark?

Well... the song “Wrecking the World” is actually about just this hilarious and dubious tall tale, and that there happened to exist an old weird film that goes so well with the lyrical content is really quite the coincident. The video stays extremely true to the bands agenda. Vocalist/lyricist Marcus Hammarström explains:

“I’ve always wanted to do a song about Noah's Ark - even before Sterbhaus. I mean, it really portrays like nothing else the ultimate stupidity of the human race when it comes to what man is ready to accept as facts in order to just not being interested in thinking anymore. And for those who know Sterbhaus - we totally love stupidity. It seems like the world is missing a point when not understanding that if you consider yourself Christian in any way - you actually 'have to' buy into this rubbish. Because the thing is;you can't pick the raisings out of a doctrine and 'decide' whats true or not from the same manual. Either you're in or you're out. And this story proves that if you're in - you're an idiot.

Well, I'm telling you! We're gonna have ball tossing around awesome statistics and hilarious memes the next couple of months!"

STERBHAUS returned in February earlier this year with the release of a total banger called "Deth Bü Wolfe". This was the first single and video from the upcoming album "Next Akin to Chaos" (which does not yet have a release date) that will mark the first new full length from the band in a decade.

"Wrecking the World" Official video:

https://youtu.be/mLSGthS05fY

STERBHAUS started in 2007 and is the home of Marcus Hammarström (also in Mayhems guitarist Ghuls side project Veile, prev Shining, Elvira Madigan), Jimmy Ahovalli and Erik Röjås (prev Ondskapt, Decadence) and even though the band announced its retirement in 2019 it was also made official that - apart from releasing the live album “Necrostabbing at Göta Källare” in 2021 (which actually charted at #1 for physical format in Sweden), the very last thing to happen was going to be the release of one more album. The coming album "Next Akin to Chaos" is that album.

UNDECAYED RELEASE "IN DEATH´S IMAGE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Swedish death metal force UNDECAYED will unleash their long-awaited debut album, “In Death’s Image”, on May 21st, 2025, via Lethal Scissor Records.

Despite their origins, the band eschews the traditional HM-2-driven Swedish sound in favor of a raw and relentless approach deeply rooted in the ferocity of '90s American death metal, recalling the percussive onslaught of Suffocation and the unholy aggression of Deicide. However, the album does not shy away from the merciless intensity of certain European acts, channeling the sheer force of early Sinister, Aeon and Severe Torture into a blistering assault of unfiltered death worship.

Likely the first album ever released with the word ‘death’ in the title of every song, “In Death’s Image” takes its thematic obsession to another level: in one track, the word for ‘death’ is even sung in 19 different languages. The album's lyrics paint a grim and absolute vision of annihilation—"Death" arrives on Earth in a physical form, surpassing any concept of a god, to extinguish all existence. No one and nothing is spared: humans, animals, vegetation, water, air—everything dies. There is NO hope for life.

The first single “Death’s Only Demand” is now streaming HERE.

Tracklist:

1 – The World Shall Know Only Death

2 – Death’s Only Demand

3 – The Descendants Of Death

4 – In Death’s Image

5 – Death Shall Come (Death Shall Prevail)

6 – Death’s Pallid Coat

7 – World At Death’s Door

8 – Entreating Death In Vain

9 – The Greatest Death

All music composed by Mikael Bergman

All lyrics written by Tony Richter

Cover artwork by renowned artist Jon Zig

Biography:

UNDECAYED was formed in August 2008 by Tony Richter (vocals) and Mikael Bergman (guitars) as a result of lineup issues in their respective bands, 9th Plague and Disromance. The two had played together in several bands throughout the ’90s and early 2000s, most notably Gardens of Obscurity and The Darksend. Initially, Richter and Bergman were joined by Disromance drummer Johnny Augustsson. Bassist Christoffer Svensson joined in 2009, and in 2014, drummer Jesper Leidbring replaced Augustsson.

The idea that every song should include the word "death" in its title emerged in 2010, both to emphasize that this was true DEATH metal and because such a concept had never been done before. The demo “The Triumph of Death” was recorded in late 2010 and released in January 2011. It was then decided that no further demos would be released before the debut album.

Over the years, family matters, work commitments, health issues, the loss of two rehearsal spaces, and lineup changes all contributed to periods of forced inactivity and delays. It wasn’t until the Covid-19 pandemic that the band was finally able to complete their album “In Death’s Image”.

Line-up:

Tony Richter – vocals

Mikael Bergman – guitars

Christoffer Svensson – bass

Jesper Leidbring – drums

STERBHAUS RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO: "DETH BÜ WOLFE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

STERBHAUS (ex members of Shining, Elvira Madigan, Ondskapt etc) has released a new single and video “Deth Bü Wolfe”. The last full length album was released ten years ago – so it is no understatement that this is quite an event!

“Deth Bü Wolfe” (spelling obviously intentional, and an ironic nod towards the over usage of sterotypes in Metal music in general) is the first new song from the upcoming album “Next Akin to Chaos” which at the time does not have a release date. The band promises this year to be full of tasty treats and blistering Metal - and "Deth Bü Wolfe" is the first offering.

According to vocalist/bassist Marcus Hammarström:

“This was obviously gonna be the first single even eight years ago when it was first written. It’s just such an immediate Sterbhaus classic and it's chock full of hooks, riffs, solos and fierce spitting vocals. It's all cranked up to eleven this time. There's a weird marriage between tricky stuff and accessibility in all that we do and this proves just that... Hell, it's catchy as most anything. If you don’t get hooked after the first “ugh” then you can't possibly have a Metal in your blood.”

STERBHAUS is the home of Marcus Hammarström (prev Shining, Elvira Madigan), Jimmy Ahovalli and Erik Röjås (prev Ondskapt, Decadence) and even though the band announced its retirement in 2019 it was also made official that - apart from releasing the live album “Necrostabbing at Göta Källare” in 2021 (which actually charted at #1 for physical format in Sweden), the very last thing to happen was going to be the release of one more album.

"Deth Bü Wolfe" is now out on all major streaming platforms and it comes with a tasty video as well

ROTPIT RELEASE "LONG LIVE THE ROT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

LONG LIVE THE ROT: ROTPIT RETURNS WITH THEIR SECOND FULL-LENGTH ALBUM

Release Date: November 29, 2024

Label: War Anthem Records

German/Swedish death metal juggernaut ROTPIT is back with a vengeance, delivering their highly anticipated second full-length album, Long Live The Rot . This follow-up to their 2023 debut Let There Be Rot takes things to an even filthier and more punishing level, offering ten tracks of relentless, old-school rotten death metal. Fans of the genre are in for a brutal experience that drips with decay and devastation.

A Lineup of Death Metal Heavyweights

ROTPIT is a trio of seasoned veterans from the extreme metal underground:

Jonny Pettersson (Massacre, Wombbath, Heads for the Dead, Berzerker Legion) – Guitar/Bass/Production

Ralf Hauber (Revel in Flesh, Heads for the Dead, Fetid Zombie, Just Before Dawn) – Vocals/Lyrics/Concept

Erik Barthold (Left Hand Solution, Det Kristet Utseende) – Drums

The addition of drummer Erik Barthold has injected new life into the band, pushing ROTPIT beyond its origins as a studio project and into the realm of live performances. His dynamic drumming elevates the band’s already gruesome and raw sound, making Long Live The Rot their most ambitious and punishing release to date.

Rotten to the Core

Produced by Jonny Pettersson at Studio Unbound and mastered at Nevo Studios in Sundsvall, Sweden, Long Live The Rot continues ROTPIT’s tradition of delivering crushing riffs, putrid grooves, and some of the most vile vocals in the genre. The album’s visceral energy is reinforced by the grotesque and captivating hand-drawn cover artwork from Finnish underground artist T. Kannibalet Hietomma Art .

Fans of Autopsy, Nihilist, Grave, Undergang, and early Paradise Lost will find themselves consumed by the festering brutality that ROTPIT unleashes. This is death metal in its purest, most decayed form.

Beware the Maggot Swarm!

As Long Live The Rot prepares to infest the world, ROTPIT continues their mission to spread sonic decay and putrefaction. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements regarding live performances, exclusive merch drops, and more.

After the orchestral debut album and the industrial intensity of the blastbeat-tinged follow-up Sju Pulsarer, the new addition to the ever-expanding Mitochondrial Sun universe again sees the project steering towards new horizons. Sparse and minimalistic, Machine Dialectics features ten exploratory and playful compositions with plenty of suggestive earworm melodies and warm vintage sounding synths that evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The mastering was expertly handled by Anders Lagerfors at Nacksving Studios, who utilized his vast arsenal of analog equipment to give the album an immersive and atmospheric sound.

Says Sundin: "With the new album, I wanted to get away from the overtly cinematic and epic soundscapes of the earlier releases and instead explore more low-fi territories. Most of the songs consist of just a handful of elements, and there's a sense of improvisation and unpredictability throughout, as if we're hearing the music come to life in real-time. There's a certain naivety to the melodies, and in a way Machine Dialectics is presenting a "magical" childhood idea of space exploration - simple, adventurous and blissfully unconcerned with cosmic cataclysms and existential risks. The music is still instrumental, and as usual I prefer to only hint at concepts and ideas and leave it up to the listener to interpret the work and fill in the blanks with whatever their own imagination can conjure."

Machine Dialectics is probably the weirdest album in the Mitochondrial Sun pantheon so far, and one is recommended to listen to the whole album in one go, following the correct running order. The individual songs aren't designed for standalone single consumption but are more akin to chapters in a book and make the most sense in the context of the other tracks.

For this reason there won't be any separate singles ahead of the album release. Two songs can be streamed on the Mitochondrial Sun Bandcamp page and the Inertial Music website, and more material is previewed in a teaser video.

1. To Those That Dared to Dream (06:04)

2. SPECULOOS-3 B (02:14)

MEDUSIAN RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO: "TOYMAKER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Medusian is a symphonic metal band based out of Gothenburg, Sweden. Where every song is an original story built upon a foundation of heavy guitars, fast drums, intricate bass, expressive vocals, and massive orchestration, Medusian builds on every detail to bring the listener to an expressive soundscape where the band's stories can be told.

Building on the success of their previous singles, the band is thrilled to unveil their newest single and official music video, Toymaker. Stream it now on their official YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/V3xA6tePkV0

Band comments on the single:

"In our new song, Toymaker, we used the lyrics to tackle the struggle of artistry and self acceptance. Telling the story of an old man who has committed his entire life to developing his work, without ever taking time to develop himself or his understanding of himself, we use the perspective of the old toys he has grown ashamed of to provide an outside look at why the artist cannot accept himself. Pairing this story with the over the top soundtrack like orchestration, along with a gothic tone painted over our progressive metal influences, Toymaker is one of our favorites on the EP without question. We're extremely proud of it and we feel all artists will be able to connect with the message in its story."

JÄRNBÖRD RELEASE "FILMER FÖR BLINDA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Sweden’s JÄRNBÖRD will release their second album “Filmer för blinda” (Movies for the blind) on January 10th 2025.

Today, the band is premiering the album's second single, "Vi ska ätas, vi ska dömas", at IDIOTEQ. Watch the video HERE.

The album took almost four years to complete. The fact that it took so long has a lot to do with the band releasing a handful of split records and singles in the meantime, but also because of an ambition to really invest this time. “What happens if we broaden the view of what our grindcore really is? Can we attack the songs from another direction - plank a Pixies stick, interpret Björn Afzelius?”

On Björn Afzelius's song "Flickan i snøn", the band is guested by Anna Wagner from, among others, Dead Sleep. She is joined by more guest artists. In "Rockar med mammon" Mikey Lennartsson from Gamla Pengar and The Dahmers rasps out lines about having time to listen to Slayer and in "Vi ska ätas, vi ska dömas", the techno artist Johanna Knutsson sings about how sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut.

“Filmer för blinda” revolves around the phenomenon of being human - during one and the same day, we can be exposed to feelings of helplessness, joy, sadness, anger, fatigue, love, friendship and hatred. How do we handle it? How do we stay afloat? Some close their eyes, others confront it. Some booze their day away, others go to work. Some becomes right-wing, others renovate their balcony. But in the end, nothing really matters. It's movies for the blind.

“It has been important for us not to get stuck in the generic. Although we have taken every opportunity to place ourselves in the grindcore genre, we have always identified ourselves as a regular rock band. We quite often play a very fast form of rock music, but in the end it's completely normal rock we deal with. It also gives greater freedom in terms of lyrics. I want to be able to write about raw capitalism, but I also want to sing about fast cars and Torgny Lindgren”, says Anders Schärberg, who plays guitar and sings in JÄRNBÖRD.

“Filmer för blinda” is mostly recorded in Studio Covid by Niklas Ehrlin, with the exception of the drums, which were recorded in Studio Tonhuvud by Hannes Heed. Mixed and mastered by Ulf Blomberg, HoboRec Recording Studio.

Vinyl-LP is released by De:nihil Records (SWE) and 7Degrees Records (GER). CD is released by Hecatombe Records (SP) and Esagoya Records (JPN).

Album tracklist:

01 Gärning Och Lidande

02 Ormens Väg På Kvarnberget

05 Vi ska ätas, vi ska dömas

THRONE OF ROACHES RELEASE NEW SINGLE "I DEPART"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Prepare for the most relentless assault Throne of Roaches has ever unleashed. I Depart dives headfirst into the torment of a mind haunted by the echoes of the dead. With unrelenting speed and savage intensity, this track captures the unraveling psyche of a soul plagued by visions of deceased relatives, their whispers and apparitions driving him to the edge of sanity. It's a descent into chaos: blistering, brutal, and unforgiving.

Blending the aggression of deathcore with the atmospheric depth of melodic death metal, Throne of Roaches is set to release their debut album on February 7, 2025. The album will showcase the band’s ability to balance crushing brutality with haunting melodies, pushing the boundaries of their sound to new extremes. Stay tuned—it’s coming.

Listen here: https://youtu.be/AFME-3Af_oA

At the present, a full-length album is in the works and is set for release in early 2025. What can expected from this album is a Swedish smorgasbord of death metal where the band will show a purposely crafted multifaceted sound. The music itself consists of groovy riffs, heavy breakdowns and uncanny but still melodic sections; inspired by bands like Arch Enemy, In Flames, The Black Dahlia Murder, Orbit Culture, Death, Shadow of Intent and many more, Throne of Roaches delivers a promising mix of classic and modern death metal.
