TRIUMPH t-shirts & hoodie in stock now!
💀 “Opposing Equality” CD also available
TRIUMPH returns to dominate the bestial black and death metal underground with the crushing new release, “Opposing Equality”. Serving as a massive follow up to “Retaliation Warfare”, this record perfectly executes the traditional onslaught of the genre rather than attempting to reinvent it. Everything simply hits harder. The riffs are heavier, the compositions are sharper, and the production stands as a relentless wall of sonic violence. Flawlessly blending the icy ferocity of black metal with brutal grindcore aggression, the album channels the chaotic energy of BLACK WITCHERY, CONQUEROR, and REVENGE. With breathless vocal shrieks and highly dynamic percussion, the music grabs the listener by the throat and refuses to let go. For fans of unadulterated savagery and modern heavyweights like PRIMITIVE WARFARE or VIDER, “Opposing Equality” is an absolutely mandatory listen.

Unassailable Temptations by Texas black/death metal act CHURCHACIDE is an unrelenting and barbaric 16-minute EP. Released via Goat Throne Records, it delivers a concentrated dose of cavernous, satanic metal fueled by fierce riffs, oppressive atmosphere, and relentlessly savage vocals.

Vocally, the performance is equally vicious, channeling a harsh and bestial attack that perfectly complements the band’s anti-religious and transgressive themes.

MORGAL “The Seventh Circle” LP, CD, MC, DL, TS now available for pre-order.
It was but five, seemingly-long years ago when Finland’s MORGAL finally released their debut album, Nightmare Lord. That full-length had high expectations behind it, given that the band’s self-titled debut EP in 2018 had burst these exceptionally young men (two members were not yet in their 20s) onto the international metal map with a blitzkrieg of excitement. Nightmare Lord, by comparison, had reigned in a bit of MORGAL’s original, off-the-rails flavor in favor of stronger, more METAL songwriting and a more polished & professional production. Not for nothing did the legendary Joe Petagno grace the album with exclusive cover artwork.
In the interim, MORGAL saw the arrival of two new members: vocalist / bassist Tomb Nekrofiler and second guitarist Kill-hammer. With founding members Crusher (guitar) and SS Exiler (drums) anchoring the attack, the now-quartet return with their second album, The Seventh Circle. Ironically, this new blood has helped MORGAL return to their sulfurous, blitzed-to-fuck origins - only now, tempered with the ageless wisdom of heavy metal. Right after its brief intro, The Seventh Circle fucking ATTACKS and draws you down, a layer / circle at a time, into an abyss of black metal magick that’s more incendiary than ever. The rhythm section goes way off the rails, a maelstrom of INRI by way of Devil’s Force, but somehow sounds more deliberate in its intensity: fully human and fully possessed, yes, but also fully finessed. The twin-guitar attack truly intensifies MORGAL’s latently ripping-yet-melodic style, with both six-stringers trading blood-boiling leads and solos with gibbering abandon. And even with all this full-throttle electricity, the quartet have honed their steel to include well-timed downshifts into tundra-marching territory. The album’s six primary songs slay with a memorability that’s surprising given how relatively epic they are in length - and again, with such bazooka-blown power behind them.

▶️ “Lazure Sphacelation,” the second track from PHARMACIST’s upcoming third album “Vertebrae After Vertebrae,” now streaming on Hells YouTube and Bandcamp.
🦴 “Vertebrae After Vertebrae” t-shirts are available now!
đź’€ LP/CD/MC pre-orders ship at the end of this month!
HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present PHARMACIST’s highly anticipated third album “Vertebrae After Vertebrae.”
After a slumber in silence, PHARMACIST emerge stronger and fouler than ever with “Vertebrae After Vertebrae.” Without much expanding on the progressive side of its predecessor, the band instead concentrates on more straightforward vibes, with fresh ideas woven into their foundation of death metal and grindcore. This is PHARMACIST at their catchiest and most brutal, even in downtempo moments, where the breakdowns hit in a knuckle-dragging, mosh-ready fashion.
Much of “Vertebrae After Vertebrae” channels raw, reeking intensity and a wide range of old-school inspiration, where subtle melodic touches add contrast and punch. Each song carries its own character, with echoes of Kreator, Death, Vio-lence, and Gorgasm, all filtered through the band’s distinct sound and style.
Recorded, mixed, and mastered at VoidLab in Tokyo, the album delivers a crisp yet crushing gutpunch. Completed with another grotesque and surreal cover by Adam Medford, “Vertebrae After Vertebrae” stands as a highwater mark for PHARMACIST.

VOIVOD “War and Pain” LP in stock now from Metal Blade Records, Germany.
When examining the roots of avant-garde extreme metal, few debuts hit with the sheer ferocity of War And Pain by the legendary Canadian quartet VOIVOD. Released when the boundaries of speed and aggression were just being tested, this album stands as a visionary masterclass in sonic destruction. The band successfully fused the rebellious spirit of hardcore punk with the dark rhythms of traditional heavy metal, creating a chaotic and thrilling journey through a radioactive wasteland.
The true charm of War And Pain is its wildly unhinged execution. Guitarist Piggy bypasses standard thrash riffs for bizarre dissonant chords and psychedelic feedback. The rhythm section is a relentless force, featuring a filthy bass tone from Blacky and intense, pounding drum patterns from Away. Above this glorious cacophony, vocalist Snake spits out tales of nuclear fallout with gripping conviction. Listeners are immediately hooked by the unyielding pace of standout tracks like the frantic anthem “Voivod” and the unconventional speed metal of “Warriors Of Ice”. The epic closing track “Nuclear War” delves into atmospheric territory, evolving from a heavy march into a blazing frenzy of guitar solos. Ultimately, VOIVOD crafted an authentic blueprint of experimental metal that defied every rule of the era.
