Unite Against Society are going to release their fourth album in DIY style on digital platforms but also on LP.

On Demons Run Amok will be out EP from Dutch band Bent out of Shape.

A three-piece band from Holland, where people from LBTS, Razorblade and God Dethroned meet, is preparing a new album at the end of March 2026. This is a taster single, which will be released both digitally (for example on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVYDWeyJEEQ), but will also be released on a limited flexi disc, where there will be one more song besides it, which will not be available on the full album (but we don't know anything about it yet). The song is less than three minutes long and it starts with a really perfect black metal riff that lasts about a minute and a quarter. Then there's a change of rhythm with a perfect guitar solo. This instrumental passage lasts about a minute and then it falls back into that black metal slaughterhouse. Lyrically, the song contains 36 names of Germanic tribes from the dark times of pre-Christian Europe. The first Heathen Peace album was definitely not for everyone, because not everyone likes such hard and heavy stuff. After listening to this single, I can say that the second album will be similar and this taster single will only confirm it. But for me, it's great. I won't rate it yet and I'll wait for the second song, which won't be on the album, and for the whole album.

The split CD of two experienced bands (this is the seventh album for Heroes and the eighth for True Aggression) is released as a CD on OPOS Records. Each band is represented here with six songs, with each band also playing one cover of the other. In the case of Heroes it is Heretics and Barbarians (Ketzer und Barbaren) and in the case of True Agreesion it is Geistiger Terror (originally Andlig Terrorism). In one song from each band there is also a guest singer from the other, so in Heroes Miesl sings in We Fight to Win and in the case of True Aggression it is Johan in We Are Still Here. Heroes have all their songs in English, while TA have them all in German (but in the last We Are Still Here there is a Swedish and English passage). Both bands also play in the same line-up – four members and two guitars. The songs from Heroes are more rock and the singer's voice is higher. There is even an acoustic song Freedom. Lyrically, it's a classic - lying media (Fake Information), illusion of freedom (Freedom), position in society where the family wants you, but you don't (When We Unite), etc... Musically, for me, it's definitely Fake Information, where there are really great solos and the singer shows his range. At first listen, the style of Heroes didn't really suit me, but as I listen to it again and again, I start to like it. TA play faster, harder and it has more punk verve and drive, and right from the first Stolz und Stark they pour it into you (it's not a cover of Ultima Thule) with a great rhythm and guitar, the second track Get Woke is about the phenomenon of today - are you a man, a woman or an animal... who knows? 1000 Volt is about the god of thunder who rages over Europe, Total Egal 2 (with a ska rhythm in the chorus but a nice fast tempo in the verse) is about how we don't care where someone ranks us and what they think of us. In the last thing Johan from Heroes shows again the great range of his voice. The booklet is a classic – lyrics, photos, thank you note. Great.
