Coming March 6, 2026 from Stygian Black Hand and Black Seed Productions
FIRE MAGIC Memories of Fire
Finding solace in the march of war rather than in respite, US black metal traditionalists FIRE MAGIC press forward with their sophomore full-length, Memories of Fire. Revitalized in their vigor, FIRE MAGIC present seven blazing battle hymns for black metal warriors trained in the arena of classic heavy metal. The album marks a natural maturation of their triumphant sound, showcasing a newly polished sheen glinting from the battle-worn weaponry that forged their earlier releases. Through this enduring call to arms, FIRE MAGIC avow that when the weak and the false have been felled by their steel, only Memories of Fire will remain.

9 YEARS OF MORBID LUST
9 years ago today, Stygian Black Hand released Morbid Lust, the debut EP from Horns & Hooves (then a duo of Malebolge and Salpsan), semen-ting their salacious style with a foul foursome of songs whose lyrics and riffs forever stain the minds and trousers of those who experience them. At the time, the EP was only released on CD, followed by a limited cassette from @tapesfromhell , a short-lived imprint run by the crew’s frequent co-conspirator @jamieeltonsound . It also featured gruesome guest vocals from @hank_wood , the singer of fellow SBH alumni Plague. After the release of Morbid Lust, Horns & Hooves soon recruited the well-endowed Orobas to take over drum duties and crafted the infamous full-length, I Am the Skel Messiah.
Here, we expose some promo and rehearsal imagery from the Morbid Lust sessions, including some alternate cover art variations used for when the mainstream could not handle the original. Left uncensored in all its glory, the album title text was drawn by Salpsan.
As a decade of Morbid Lust edges near, we continue to receive requests to resurrect these songs on physical format, and, frankly, we’re not sure if we can hold it in any longer…
