So much stuff going on despite the sun beating down on us like a big space-borne nuclear explosion…
Nastergal
International black metal band Nastergal have released their debut EP Solitude. The release was recorded at Winter Nagte Studios and Electrified Lair Studios. Mixed/mastered by Marco Toba.
Nastergal was formed by Riaan Coertze (New Zealand) and Jacques Valentyn (South Africa) and completed with the help of Marco Toba (Argentina) and Evgen Zoidze (Ukraine). The music draws its inspiration from bands such as Dark Funeral and Hecate Enthroned with lyrical content influenced by the works of Friedrich Nietzsche. Even though they are not a live band they are committed to the music they create and strive to deliver the best to their audience. Nastergal has started work on their first full length album and hope to release it early 2022.

Farer
Tartarus Records is proud to announce the release of Dutch doom/noise trio Farer critically acclaimed debut album Monad for the first time on vinyl.
Originally released in late November 2020 on CD through Aesthetic Death and cassette via Tartarus Records, Monad will now be available as a limited edition clear and black marbled color double LP housed in a heavy gatefold, brilliantly showcasing Niels Verwijk’s gripping, original album artwork and is now is now scheduled for release on September 24th. Pre-orders are now available.
With their debut, Farer made a committed and captivating testament to suffering. Heavy grinding riffs and deep pulsating rhythms; a restless stirring. Amidst all these layers you can hear the voice as a primal scream – the shock of being. The dissonance of forces vying for existence and the harmony of lightless oblivion. An agonising story of something or somebody coming in with the singularity Monad and thus creating an incomprehensible cycle of violent creation and destruction. Out of nothing, nothing becomes.
Defiant
Defiant have released their second EP The Rent In Hell Is Free via Curtain Call Records. The EP features guest appearances by Ace Von Johnson (L.A. Guns/Faster Pussycat), Richard Reilly (The Bo Deadlys/The Victims) and Jim Taylor (Lenne).
The first single and music video “Free for A Price” is currently impacting airwaves. The band describes the new EP:
Cut throat, no nonsense intensity emoting apathy, anger, sorrow and fear mixed with a tablespoon of sugar to help it go down. We pulled no punches and left no risk untaken over the two- year period of writing and recording this EP and we are extremely proud to finally release it to the world.
