From the shadowed depths of the Hungarian underground rises the third chapter of vampiric darkness. Denevér returns with its new full-length album: III. Hívogat a vér
Pre-orders now open: https://pestrecords.bandcamp.com/album/denev-r-iii...
Forged in the spirit of traditional Black Metal, the new record continues the path carved by Vámpír and A Vérivók Krónikái, now sharper, colder, and more bloodthirsty than ever before.Following the acclaim of the previous albums for their oppressive atmosphere, old-school riffing, and vampiric vision, Denevér once again descends into the abyss with a new work dedicated to shadows, obsession, and the eternal call of blood.
To be released on July 12th in jewel-case CD format via Pest Records and Metal Ör Die Records.
Beware the vampire, the blood calls again!

Pest Records and Metal Ör Die Records are proud to join forces for the release of "Afterlives: Revenants / Vile Torture" Split CD, a devastating union between two uncompromising forces of the Serbial Death Metal underground: Deadspawned and Mogila Deathcult.
Bringing together suffocating atmospheres, savage riff work and relentless aggression, this split CD stands as a celebration of everything rotten, obscure and morbid within the contemporary Death Metal underground. From sepulchral darkness and cavernous brutality to punishing old school intensity, both bands deliver material that perfectly complements the spirit of this release while maintaining their own distinct identities.
"Afterlives: Revenants / Vile Torture" is out now as a strictly limited CD edition of 300 copies worldwide through Pest Records and Metal or Die Records.
DEADSPAWNED statement: "We set out to track "Demonarch" as a teaser for the incoming album, but while we were tearing it up at Hellhammer Festival between studio sessions, we captured a raw live assault that offers a more visceral glimpse into the carnage coming your way on the full record. To ensure we seize the attention of the old-school freaks, we've teamed up with Mogila Deathcult to bring you the pure, decaying essence of Old School Death Metal."
MOGILA DEATHCULT statement: "This awesome split brings back Vile Torture, our second demo, now backed with two live recordings that capture the raw energy of the band as it is. One of these tracks will also appear on our debut album, setting the tone for what’s to come, aimed for release by the end of 2026.
Joining forces with Deadspawned came naturally as we all know each other and have been ripping it locally and beyond for a while, and we’re proud to stand alongside a band with such a strong legacy. Merged, this split stands as a tribute to the sound that shaped us. No frills, no compromises, rooted in old school death metal."

Prophets Of Thwaites is an Ethereal Doom Metal band from the Netherlands that places contrast, atmosphere, and gradually building tension at the core of its music. The band combines massive, hypnotic riffs and slow grooves with dreamy vocals and layered guitar work, constantly shifting between crushing heaviness and ethereal passages. Dynamics and emotional intensity form the foundation of both the band's compositions and live performances.
On March 17, 2026, the band released the two-track EP Vulnerant Omnes Ultima Necat in digital format, recorded with guest drummer Nico Beemster. The release received praise from international underground media:
“Esma's voice is equally angelic and diabolical.” — Jam Yeti Music Blog
“The music is atmospheric, haunting and even gothic.” — Doomed For Metal
“Prophets Of Thwaites construct a highly original style of Post-Doom, Shoegaze and Stoner Metal with real emotional intensity.” — Outlaws Of The Sun
The band merges its early doomgaze energy with a richer and more direct sonic approach, resulting in a powerful and immersive sound.
