Powerwolf: Wake up the wicked 2024 [CD]

Following the roaring success of their latest album A Dream Of Wilderness (2021), Toulouse-based melodic death metal powerhouse AEPHANEMER strikes back with their fourth studio offering, Utopie, out October 31, 2025 via Napalm Records. Blending ferocious melodic death metal with cinematic grandeur, Utopie sees the trio unleash an ambitious, razor-sharp assault of epic melodies, relentless speed, and philosophical depth, pushing their sound into bold new territory. Led by the carnivorous growls and commanding presence of frontwoman Marion Bascoul, the band delivers a record that is both fiercely technical and emotionally immersive — exploring the mythic urgency of modern times. Actively bucking genre conventions, AEPHANEMER continues to reinvent their path in the melodic death metal landscape. Utopie is more than just an album — it’s a storm of sound, an ideological reckoning, and a powerful new chapter from one of Europe’s most vital and visionary metal bands!

Six long years since their latest offering, Swedish occult rock frontrunners YEAR OF THE GOAT return with their fourth studio album, entitled "Trivia Goddess". Once again, they take a break from their ongoing trilogy that started with the award-winning album “Angels Necropolis” (2012), followed by the much-acclaimed “Novis Orbis Terrarum Ordinis” (2019). Inspired by the most harrowing moments in women's history – vilified by churches and men of a petty god, devalued as the lesser sex throughout the history of the Abrahamic religions – in true satanic fashion, "Trivia Goddess" sees the Norrköping, Sweden-based dark rock collective oppose the structures of true evil in the world. Evoking a sinister, almost medieval spirit on tracks such as "Power of Eve", the band shows its epic, powerful and expeditious side, while "Alucarda" captivates listeners with an irresistibly catchy 70s hard rock vibe.

Bursting with relentless energy, this monster captures the classic essence of heavy metal - championing the genre’s roots while setting a new benchmark for modern heavy music. Formed in 2013, AMBUSH quickly became a staple of the Swedish metal scene, delivering classic heavy metal vibes with a modern twist. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Judas Priest, Accept, and Iron Maiden, AMBUSH’s unique blend of traditional metal and fierce energy has earned them a dedicated fanbase around the globe. From fingernail-shattering riffs to screaming-solos and emotional lyrics, the Swedes emerged from the underground scene landing performances at Europe's most prestigious old school metal festivals like Muskelrock, and touring as a fan-favorite next to heroes like ENFORCER and COBRA SPELL.
