Gaerea released a stunning debut in 2016 that received widespread acclaim. It was in the form of a sensational EP that showcased their superior songwriting skills and outstanding aesthetic sense. This year the Portuguese black metal band will release their highly awaited full length album that takes forward their sound to new extremes.
After the demise of Affliction Gate, two of their members collaborated with those from the legendary French death metal band Catacomb, and the result is Nox Irae – a crushing entity playing old school death/thrash metal. With artwork made by none other than Chris Moyen, this release will see the light of day on multiple formats in addition to the standard ones on Transcending Obscurity Records.
Death metal legion Depravity join forces with Transcending Obscurity Records to propagate the infernal sounds contained on their much awaited debut full length album titled ‘Evil Upheaval’. With members of acclaimed bands such as Impiety, The Furor, Entrails Eradication and more, we’re looking at an experienced group of musicians who know how to pull things off. Their first song was unearthed via last month’s 2018 Label Sampler and it has now been made available for streaming on the label’s official channel and Bandcamp.
Transcending Obscurity Records is proud to welcome the ambitious death metal band of Ralf Hauber (Revel In Flesh) and Jonny Pettersson (Wombbath, Henry Kane, Ursinne) called Heads for the Dead to its family. Expect crushing old school death metal inspired by horror movies and having a great sound and atmosphere to boot. They join the roster having death metal bands such as Paganizer, Down Among The Dead Men, Ursinne, Feral, De Profundis, Echelon, Rogga Johansson, Come Back From The Dead and many more.
The debut full length ‘Serpents Curse’ will soon be scheduled for release this year on multiple formats. The title track will be revealed via the 2018 label sampler next week.
UK band DE PROFUNDIS are on the verge of releasing their fifth full length album and have signed to our label for that. The band have decided to play a more direct and hard-hitting form of death metal that doesn’t betray their sound but makes it more effective. They have revamped their aesthetics and have adopted a new logo to suit their improved direction. The album should be slated for release sometime in early 2018 and more info on that will be revealed soon.
In an attempt to strengthen our death metal roster, we’re thrilled to come across and sign SADISTIK FOREST who play hard-hitting, relevant death metal while mixing things up. Their new album ‘Morbid Majesties’ will be up for pre-orders in early 2018. One of their new songs will be revealed shortly via the highly anticipated 2018 label sampler.
We’re thankful to get support for all genres where it comes to our label, and the addition of NIGREDO to our roster couldn’t have come at a better time. 2017 has been great with very well received releases of all kinds of black metal bands like SOMNIUM NOX, NORSE, THE FUROR, MRTVI, ARALLU and even AFFLIKTOR, and 2018 looks even better with NIGREDO‘s new full length leading the way. One of their songs is streaming already and will also be a part of the upcoming Transcending Obscurity label sampler due in January 2018.
We’re huge fans of doom metal as is evidenced by our recent releases in the style of bands such as Jupiterian, Drug Honkey, Mindkult, Illimitable Dolor, Altar of Betelgeuze and Warcrab, and we’re proud to work with a fantastic band in Et Moriemur who create captivating music with an epic atmosphere and even borrow influences from other genres to break the mould. Their third full length album will be up for pre-orders late this year.
Death metal juggernaut Down Among The Dead Men have assembled a new album that’s filthier and crustier than ever before. Sounding massive, Rogga Johansson has created his best music for the band yet, with Dave Ingram being in absolute top form throughout. Both members have put out highly successful albums in Paganizer and Ursinne respectively this year, not to mention the sensational Echelon release where they joined forces again.
