Formed in 2009, the Swiss group SCHAMMASCH combines a forward approach to modern black metal, articulating their extreme roots with doom-laden atmospherics dredged with Hermetic mysticism. The band, whose name derives from Babylonian sun god Samaš, signed to Prosthetic in 2014 to release "Contradiction," which Metal Hammer lauded as "one of the most overwhelming albums of the year...cerebral and utterly absorbing." Now, Prosthetic proudly reissues SCHAMMASCH's 2010 debut opus "Sic Lvceat Lvx," which translates from Latin to "Let the Light Shine." Consisting of seven hypnotic, cinematic tracks, the album -- which, until now, has only been available as a limited-edition CD release in select European countries -- has been freshly remastered by V. Santura (Celtic Frost, Triptykon), with glorious new artwork by Valnoir (The Black Dahlia Murder, Behemoth).
Heavy metal shredders EXMORTUS released their full-length Prosthetic debut, "Slave To The Sword", in North America on February 4. Recorded at Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland, California with producer Zack Ohren (ALL SHALL PERISH, SUFFOCATION, IMMOLATION), the album features cover artwork by legendary heavy metal painter Philip Lawvere (KREATOR, CELTIC FROST, HELLOWEEN) and 10 rousing tracks that dynamically blend technical and traditional heavy metal with elements of thrash, prog and death metal.

With a combination of sledgehammer breakdowns and brutal lyrical misanthropy, the Acacia Strain™s fifth album, Wormwood, is a lesson in focused hostility. Seemingly unconcerned with dazzling the listener with lightning-fingered guitar wizardry or insane blastbeats, the Acacia Strain is like a speeding heavy metal freight train, an inelegant and unstoppable juggernaut fueled by memories of the unchecked aggression unleashed on the world by the likes of Sepultura and Pantera. Subtle is not a watchword here. Those looking for patient buildups and intricately structured harmonies to stroke their beards to will find themselves disappointed. Instead, Wormwood is an album that™s almost unapologetically blunt, painting a portrait of a mosh pit in big broad strokes. And that™s really what it boils down to. This is an album that™s designed to fuel the fire until the only option left is catharsis, making for an album that™s sure to destroy the kids in the pit, but isn™t going to be your first choice for something to kick back and unwind with.- ALLMUSIC

Emerging out of the gloom comes Replica of a Strange Love - the new record from Wristmeetrazor. Illuminating the darkest corners of their every nightmare and representing a nihilistic plunge headfirst into an intoxicating mix of death, sin and romance. Replica of a Strange Love is a modern take on metalcore; building on the foundations of their past to leave a shimmering trail of visceral energy in their wake. The album is introspective one, utilizing the work of Nietzsche, Foucault, LaVey and more to make sense of human reactions and sociological phenomena specific to ongoing events. Hopeless romanticism is the past - personal philosophy is the present.

On Catastrophic Reconfiguration, this IL death metal outfit coughs up spores from mycetozoic muck, Molder exhume ten tracks from very recent, very shallow burials in a graveyard that™s been filled to the brim for thirty years. It™s not slick but slicked, damn near dripping with plasmodial ooze that obliviously recycles its carbon with a charmingly contented stupidity.
If Molder™s sophomore album, Engrossed in Decay was obsessed with decomposition, Catastrophic Reconfiguration, the Joliet, IL Death Metal outfit™s new album, won't have you questioning its content. Band vocalist and guitarist Aaren Pantke leads the group™s resuscitation into 2024 with a reinvigorated approach to writing, recording and playing live, paving the way for the album™s release on November 8th.
