Emerging from the extreme underground scene, Paralicyst makes their debut with the short, four song EP Destruction of Sanity. In a musical landscape often saturated with hyper specific or overproduced subgenres, the band chooses to return to the roots of an abrasive style; this EP delivers an auditory assault stripped of unnecessary artifice designed to jolt fans of heavy riffs and raw, organic energy.

Drawing inspiration from titans like Obituary, Malevolent Creation, and Cannibal Corpse, the band blends punishing riffs, crushing rhythms, and savage vocal and Paralicyst expand upon their clear ’90s traditional death metal

In any case the first preview of Destruction of Sanity makes an immediate impact a sense of suffocation and pure aggression overall atmosphere is dark, chaotic, and hostile evoking madness, violence, and mental decay. It serves as a nostalgic yet hard-hitting return to the golden age of Florida and U.S death metal from the late 80s and early 90s, with an atmosphere strongly reminiscent of classics by bands like Obituary, Malevolent Creation, or Monstrosity.

The production favors grit and authenticity over the excessive, substandard digital polishing common today. The guitars retain an organic, pure sound heavy and slightly fuzzy while the bass provides a firm foundation for the mix. The drums sound natural, free from robotic samples, the overall mixing approach highlights a glorious, old-school aesthetic.

In terms of execution, the band demonstrates a solid command of their craft. The vocals feature a cavernous, guttural, and hateful growl perfectly in line with the conventions of the genre. The guitar work is efficient, blending tremolo picking with slow, crushing riffs and rhythms. The drums and bass are handled with intelligence, alternating between blast beats, thrashy tempos, and heavy, sluggish passages, the tempo shifts always occur at exactly the right moments.

without forgetting the artwork cover who is very fit with dark, gloomy visuals illustrating madness and destruction

in any case is there some positives point and little negative but have a strong lineup, and surly you will add Destruction of Sanity to your collection.

Urzirkel - In Silbernen Sprachen (2026)

Label: Vendetta Records

Tracklist:

1.Niebo I Ziemia

2.Himmlischer Funke

3.Heiliger Kreis

4.Król Duch

In Silbernen Sprachen is the debut EP by the German black metal band Urzirkel, scheduled for release on October 9, 2026, through the underground label Vendetta Records

The album has an underground approach; the sound is raw and dark, with the same production quality as an underground garage rehearsal from 80’

The EP contains only 4 tracks spanning a descent into hidden terrestrial liturgies.

Urzirkel operates under the thematic guise of a forgotten, ancient messianic cult rooted in earth-bound worship their raw /atmospheric black metal sound heavily invokes themes of mysticism, blood, divine ruin, sacred law, and the eternal cycle of decay and rebirth, the overall atmosphere is icy, menacing, yet imbued with a profound melancholy

Listening evokes the sensation of a dark storm, traversed by highly melodic, ritualistic guitar lines, followed by an occult feeling.

The guitars retain a freezing, heavy edge, while the drums and vocals remain massive and tortured, evoking a bestial, inhuman rage with a slow but not too much slow and variable tempo because its atmospheric/melodic black metal , distinguished by its ritualistic approach but the melodic part are little bored or not fit ….and not very balanced, except that the artwork enhances the mysterious nature of the project, even before the first listen , the visual concept aligns perfectly with the album's title It employs monochrome and silvery hues, symbolizing celestial bodies, blood, and divine ruin.

A negative point at around 23 minutes in length, the experience ends quickly, leaving a sense of incompleteness all the more so because the world it establishes is so immersive. It truly feels unfinished, as it is merely the beginning, the first chapter, or the opening pages a follow-up would allow for a better analysis and critique of its full potential.
