Bitter Harvest, by Night in GalesNew NIGHT IN GALES album “Bitter Harvest” out November 13, 2026! Three decades in service of melody and sheer heaviness: With "Bitter Harvest," Night In Gales unleash their 10th studio album - delivering what is arguably the strongest statement of their career to date. As trailblazers of the German melodic death metal scene, the band has shone for over 30 years with remarkable loyalty and an almost unchanged line-up. Ever since frontman Christian Müller rejoined the ranks in 2017, the quintet has been on a breathtaking run of high-caliber releases. Yet where praised predecessors like Shadowreaper and The Black Stream set high benchmarks, Bitter Harvest takes songwriting and composition a step further, standing out as their finest work since their legendary debut, Towards The Twilight. Musically, the band brings a fresh dynamic to their trademark riffing: The new material features noticeably more rock-infused elements - a approach last felt on early classics like Towards The Twilight and Thunderbeast. Combined with an overwhelming density of hooks, virtually every track turns into an uncompromising earworm. The album also stands apart lyric-wise. The themes present themselves as more epic and poetic than in recent memory. At its core lies a timeless narrative: You reap what you sow. It offers a dark, metaphorical reflection on humanity's actions and the inevitable "bitter harvest" waiting ahead. Visually, this concept is brought to life by Paolo Girardi’s striking artwork, which captures the album’s atmosphere with vivid intensity. To forge the fitting sonic backdrop, the band once again joined forces with legendary producer Fredrik Nordström. Mixed and mastered at Studio Fredman, the sound is raw, powerful, and hard-hitting - miles away from modern, over-polished productions. It breathes the spirit of the genre's 90s golden era, evoking immediate memories of the immortal early works of At The Gates, In Flames, and Dark Tranquillity. Bitter Harvest is timeless melodic death metal in its absolute maturity!

Apostasy RecordsThe new Martyrium album "Malevolent" is out now! To quote Zephyrs Odem Magazine: "Built on a foundation of black and thrash metal, with heavy doses of death metal adding extra weight. It hits, crashes and rages from every direction, yet behind the apparent loss of control is a band that knows exactly when to accelerate, slow things down or land the next riff like a punch."
