Famishgod Streaming Full Album
After the debut "Devourers Of Light" album from 2014, Famishgod returned with "Roots Of Darkness." The full album is now online for streaming below and available at Bnadcamp here. The following press release was also issued about the album:
"The original sickness that pervaded their music is present here and the whole record reverberates with it feverishly. It's what brings the music of Famisghod to life. There are but too many lifeless bands playing this style of dark death metal with doom influences, but few remain genuinely convincing still. With a commanding, evil voice that goes hand in hand with the dank music, the momentum only snowballs over the course of the album, turning the output into a kind of an infernal juggernaut at whose mercy you lay haplessly.
"With an excellent artwork and a new logo, the image of the band is stronger than ever and gives off a fitting vibe. The music almost ends up having an atmospheric quality to it as you remain unable to listen to it and not think thoughts of darkness and gloom."

Morbid Flesh Releasing New Album
Morbid Flesh's second album, "Rites of the Mangled," is set for release via Unholy Prophecies on April 24th, 2017. Unholy Prophecies also comments:
"Proudly Catalonian, this Barcelona-based band is fittingly named, for they are authentically and unequivocally morbid, old-school death fuckin' METAL. Which is all not that surprising considering Morbid Flesh's membership includes scene veterans who do time in such hordes as Insulters, Graveyard, Osserp, Cuerno, Tort, and Sheidim, among others. What results is a mammoth, elephantine bulldozer of disgusting, disease-drenched Death Metal in a most classic Swedish manner.
"Rites of the Mangled" was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Javi Felez at his Moontower Studios and features guest appearances by Blasphemic Vomitor from Insulturs, Xavi of Tort, and Xavier from Crani Septic.

Sunday Old School: BMHM Part 1. Master's Hammer
It's back! February means only one thing for Metalunderground.com, a month of darkness and controversy, with a few history lessons thrown in and some of the most extreme music ever recorded; Black Metal History Month! Throughout February, we'll be featuring black metal bands past and present in various columns and Sunday Old School will be taking a look at four bands from the genre, each from a different country. Speaking of countries, today will be the first time the column features a group from the Czech Republic and one cited as a big part in the development of black metal as we know it; Master's Hammer.
Master's Hammer was formed in the Czechoslovakian capital of Prague in 1987 (the Czech Republic and Slovakia would not go their separate ways until 1992,) by vocalist and multi instrumentalist, František "Franta" Štorm, along with bass player Milan Fibiger and drummer Ferenc Feco. The trio recorded their first demo, "The Ritual Murder," that same year before bringing in a second guitarist named Míla Krovina and recording another demo, "Finished," in 1988. They continued to self-release their own material, including a live album in 1989, entitled imaginatively enough, "Live in Zbraslav 18.5.1989." More...
