“Czerń Północy”, which may translate to “The Blackness Of The North”, is a split between the Polish bands GAROTA and SCRÜDA. This split explores the raw and intense realms of both Thrash and Black Metal in the perfect temperature. Running at just under 22 minutes, this release delivers in my opinion a very warm experience […]
SCRÜDA is a Black / Thrash Metal band from Poland and is here with their first full-length album “Fury Among Ruins”, released this January of 2025 via Godz Ov War Productions.

“Observable Continuum” is the debut full-length from the Bangladeshi Death Metal trio NAAD. The album, self-released with a mere 19 physical copies (a testament to their DIY spirit, though one wonders about the tiny number).
