With The Dance of the Datura, AMANITE sinks its roots deep into the fertile ground of the 1990s, delivering uncompromising old-school death metal stripped of all unnecessary embellishments.

A dark, macabre atmosphere emerges straight from the forests high in the Cévennes mountains, stretching across frozen, desolate plains. The album's themes are largely drawn from personal experiences—journeys through cold and darkness, beneath relentless rain and howling winds.

Nature plays a central role in AMANITE's vision, serving as a gateway into its bleak woodland realm, where hallucinogenic plants such as the Datura flourish—the symbolic centerpiece of this debut album.

Despair is embraced as a conscious choice, and listeners will encounter moments steeped in melancholy and depression, contrasted by passages that rise into something more epic and cinematic.

The rugged landscapes of the Cévennes form the album's guiding thread: towering mountains, ancient caves, dense forests, and untamed wildlife. Anxiety, isolation, and the loss of both psychological and physical bearings are equally fundamental aspects of the record.

AMANITE was conceived during a solitary night on the frozen, deserted plains, illuminated by the flickering flames of a campfire beneath a gibbous moon veiled by drifting clouds.

Musically, the project draws inspiration from legendary bands such as GRAVE , MORBID ANGEL , and BÉNÉDICTION , while incorporating a strong doom influence that deepens its oppressive, haunting, and macabre atmosphere.

Fans of classic old-school death metal and 1990s horror cinema should feel right .

 From the heart of Vicenza, Italy, Bloodfield return with their most ambitious and punishing work to date: Homunculus Sapiens. Faster, heavier and filthier than their debut Sinners or Liars (2016), this new chapter takes the band’s thrash foundations into its event horizon and drags them deep into the chaos of human despair.

Lyrically, Homunculus Sapiens is a descent into the darkest corners of the mind — violence, existential struggle, and mental illness — but not without a spark of hope. Through storytelling drenched in raw emotion, the album is all about what awakens the demons that hide in plain sight.

Among its tracks you’ll find:

“Solitude Pt.1” – the opening track, pulling us into an insomnia-fueled spiral of madness. 

“Nightmare” – a story of regret that claws at the listener long after the final note.

“Just Like That” – an explosive outburst of alcohol-driven homicidal rage.

Recorded independently and mastered by Jens Bogren, Homunculus Sapiens captures the band’s evolution in both sound and vision: thrash metal sharpened to a deadly edge, ready to resonate with diehard metal veterans and ignite new listeners alike.

Join Bloodfield on this descent into darkness.

Held By Evil is the debut full-length album from Burial Ruthless, the Spain-based technical death metal band originally formed in Venezuela. The record dives deep into themes of corruption, oppression, psychological collapse, and the destruction of human identity, unfolding across 11 tracks as a dark conceptual journey fueled by violence, fear, and manipulation.

Blending progressive brutal death metal with technical precision, Burial Ruthless balances chaotic complexity with the raw aggression of old-school death metal. The result is a modern, oppressive sound built on intense atmospheres, unpredictable structures, and relentless brutality.

Tracks such as “Demons Within” and “Mutilated Mind” showcase the band’s disturbing identity through savage riffs, crushing rhythmic shifts, and emotionally destructive passages. Throughout the album, the music constantly shifts between suffocating atmosphere and uncompromising violence, reinforcing the record’s lyrical focus on individuals consumed by systems of control and suffering.

The production maintains an organic and aggressive character while preserving clarity, heaviness, and technical precision, allowing every chaotic layer to hit with maximum impact.

Recommended for fans of Necrophagist, Obscura, Vader, Decapitated, and Krisiun.

Lyrically, *Totentanz* follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, *Fall of Humanity*, where modern society stands by, helpless and powerless, as atrocities—such as wars and genocides—unfold across the globe. The album offers a musical and poetic reflection on death in its many manifestations. Musically, the style remains largely unchanged, though the sound here is somewhat more distinctive and less derivative than in the past, featuring slightly more varied riffing. Recorded, mixed, and mastered at Nowhere Studios.

With Endless Prophecy, the Italian duo Dead Twilight returns to haunt the depths of extreme death metal by merging their first two albums, Endless Torment (2015) and About the Prophecy (2020), into a remastered and compact version. Released by the Lille-based label GREAT DANE RECORDS, this reissue is far from a simple nostalgic throwback: it breathes new life into two records that, brought together under a single banner, reveal the full coherence of a dark, suffocating, and uncompromising vision.

Endless Torment, the first chapter of this body of work, laid the foundations of a dry, mechanical, and abrasive form of death metal. The album stood out for its raw intensity, with hammering riffs, war-machine-like programmed drums, and deep growls evoking the bowels of a decaying world. At the time, some criticized the slightly muffled production and synthetic drum sound, but the sheer impact and honesty of the music clearly prevailed.

Five years later, About the Prophecy marked a turning point. Without abandoning their brutality, the band introduced more structure and breathing room into their compositions. The result? A more balanced form of death metal, with darker grooves, more refined atmospheres, and a more controlled (though still improvable) production.

This is precisely where the 2025 version finds its true meaning. The remaster adds a new sonic dimension: sharper guitars, more organic drum sounds, denser atmospheres—and above all, the two albums flow naturally into one another. For the first time, we get a real sense of narrative progression: the raw rage of the first record gradually gives way to the apocalyptic prophecy of the second. Endless Prophecy becomes a complete, dark, and coherent work, more powerful than the sum of its parts.

For fans of: NILE, HATE ETERNAL & KRISIUN

Conclusion:

With Endless Prophecy, Dead Twilight delivers the definitive version of their foundational diptych. The remastering and unification of the two albums offer total immersion into the band's universe—brutal, cold, and uncompromising. This release on GREAT DANE RECORDS confirms that the Italian death metal scene has nothing to envy from the global giants. A must-have for die-hard genre purists.
