Warslaughter, an excrement drenched death metal, playing the most grotesque death metal that their instruments can conjure...
Rotgut is a booze-soaked riot of black-thrash filth and DIY sleaze collide in a sonic brawl that leaves no face unbruised...
Goath Drips with malevolence and ritualistic chaos through blackened death metal. A sonic purge of brutality, fury, and raw underground power...
Arallu, is a blistering and emotionally charged black metal track that channels real-life trauma into sonic catharsis...
Margantha is rooted in traditional black metal but brings a fresh narrative twist, drawing on the deep power of myth passed down through family stories...
Varhara is built around a ritualistic blend of music. It developed from the roots of atmospheric black metal, thick with layers of darkness and shadows...
Darkside Ritual, a brutal, ceremonial fruit of art. Pulling the listener into a place where death is not the end, but sacred transformation...
Godeth, the music is soaked in imagery of blood, bile, and fury that feels almost visceral and scream violence...
Mindkiller is a brutal-technical-fused nightmare, a sonic battlefield where chaos and control collide in brutal harmony...
Path Of Redemption is a ceremonial rebirth, a moment when old shadows are brought into the light with raw, burning intensity...
Nothzog is a descent into violence, structure, and self-erasure. Drenched in militaristic symbolism and carved with surgical precision, solitary invocation of disciplined chaos...
Nostos bridges the gap between intense aggression and artistic experimentation. Combining heavy rock, alternative metal with theatrical flair and storytelling...
