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.

The second album by Wouter's three-piece metal band is released on CD, LP (250 copies on black asphalt) and cassette (50 copies on Zwaertgevegt Records). The album contains a total of eight songs, seven of which are in English and the last Heathen Peace 476 (the end of the Western Roman Empire) is a slower instrumental. Otherwise, the band introduced the album via two singles on the flexi EP, Total Fucking War and Heath Dweller, which are reviewed here. Henke Forss from Dawn helped with vocals on Heath Dweller. You can also hear him on the song Apollyon. Most of the songs are faster-paced (like Apollyon, Rise of Suebian Warlords or Ides of March with devilishly fast drums) but there are also slower, more drawn-out songs (Spells of Ishtar and the last Heathen Peace 476). Lyrically, it's about ancient wars and warriors who destroyed the Roman Empire (Rise of Suebian Warlords), about the war goddess Ishtar and their magic, about the king of the locust army and the destroyer (Apollyon) or perhaps about the Ides of March (The Ides of March), which were the days when Caesar was killed. The cover of the album features the Snartemo sword, which dates back to the 6th century AD and is a symbol of this era when barbarian tribes roamed Europe and when even a long-serving ruler fell. The album will be physically released on May 8, 2026, but according to the labels, both the CD and LP will include a deluxe booklet (8 pages on the CD and a four-panel gatefold cover on the LP). For me, a great thing that breaks down the boundaries of subcultures!

Heath Dweller is another single from Heathen Peace, which will be released on a flexidisk along with another instrumental song. It is also a taster song from the upcoming album. Besides, this is what Christians used to call other people who did not accept their faith in the past. The song features a guest appearance (or rather a great roar) by Henke from the Swedish band Dawn, with whom this collaboration was baked when Cosmic Key Creations released a reissue of their album. While Wouter has more of a deep hoarseness vocal, Henke has more of a yelled/screamed vocal and they complement each other nicely at the end. The song is about three and a half minutes long and it hits you with a great riff from the beginning. The break comes at about 1:41, where there is a solo, but right after it Henke and Wouter came and will knock you out of that break again.
