DRAKON was born in 2017 as collaboration between Veleyar (guitar, music) and Terror (vocals, bass). In 2017, the first album “First” was released which consist cover of the Polish black metal band Mgła’s song. After the release line-up split, Terror released the instrumental EP “The Last Battle of Angels” and project was frozen. In the fall of 2021 Veleyar has resurrected DRAKON. From that time band released “Awakening” (LP, 2022) and “High Tales” (EP, 2023). Right now they are preparing to release new studio album. Music was mixed & mastered by Theodor Borovsky (Alkonost, Dissector) and album cover artwork was done by Valentina Mustajarvi. New album “Thunderdome” will be released as jewelcase CD via Sleaszy Rider on January 18, 2024 (pre-order). Band commentary about the album: “On the day of Indra the Thunderer, the slayer of the black serpent, we present to you our new conceptual album. This is our own interpretation of the myth of the End of the World in the traditional Russian epic style, our own view of what is Light and Darkness, what is Good and Evil and what is the Earthly Truth.”.
DIABOŁ BORUTA is a band based in the capital of Podkarpacie in Poland. They are active on the music scene since 2010. They play play folk metal, but on the fifth studio album “Borutus Akustikus” (2023) they showed the most recognizable songs in an acoustic version. This special release could take you on a journey through time and space to the land of the Slavs and their captivating music. But at the end of 2023 once again, Rzeszowian band chose best songs and re-recorded without folk instruments, as fully thrash/heavy metal music.
Musicians comments: “Our goal was to refresh older material and record it with a live lineup, i.e. without keyboards and with different guitar arrangements. The argument for the creation of this release was also the statement that Borut is a metal band and it would be a pity if the year 2023 was associated only with an acoustic album, so we decided to release an album with a new sound, which includes older songs, i.e. “The Best off alive but in the studio.”“
The leader of the band – Paweł Leniart – is responsible for recording, mixing and mastering. Cover artwork was done by Maciej Skrzypek & Hania Francus.
Album “Byłem Ogni Dębem” was released on November 15, 2023 digitally and as limited CD.

“Feast for the Worms” is the new video single from Spanish death metal band UNDEAD, taken from their album “Putrefactio” released in May 2023. The song delves into the inevitability of death, regardless of one’s status or wealth, emphasizing the universal fate of decay and consumption by worms. The video, shot in the iconic Sad Hill Cemetery in Burgos, Spain, known from Sergio Leone’s film “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” reflects the band’s passion for classic movies and adds a profound visual layer to the song’s theme.
Formed in 2015, UNDEAD quickly established themselves in the death metal scene with their EPs “BLOOD ENEMY” (2015) and “REDEMPTION” (2016). Their debut album “EXISTENTIAL HORROR” in 2019 received international acclaim and was followed by intense live performances post-pandemic. In 2023, they continued their dark journey with “PUTREFACTIO,” an album that delves into the themes of decay and transformation, featuring 10 tracks of pure Death Metal, mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound and released by Redefining Darkness Records. UNDEAD is committed to spreading their message of putrefaction and aims for global domination through their music.
