Any death metal fanatic would be aware of NunSlaughter. These guys havent released a full length in about 7 years and 2014 is going to witness the end of that streak as the band is all set to release 'Angelic Dread' on HELLS HEADBANGERS on the 24th of this month.

Metal Gallows writer -Ütakt- seems to love this release as he states in his review: "I've listened to the album 10+ times and I'm sure it will end up on my 'Best Of 2014′ list if I ever make a list like that."

Vintersorg's 9th full length, 'Naturbal' is set to be released on Napalm Records on the 27th of this month.

Metal Gallows writer Arvind Menon says : "The album 'Naturbål' by the band Vintersorg is something that can be described as a battle between two polarities of existence. By this I am meaning that this album truly depicts the intense struggle of darkness and light and finally how both coexist as one true entity."
