BONG-RA Premiere Upcoming Album “Esoterik” Ahead of Release

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 17, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: BONG-RA. Leave a comment

Five days before official release, Industrial Metal pioneer Jason Köhnen (THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE, THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET) premieres the full stream of “Esoterik“, the new album from his primary project BONG-RA, on DMP’s YouTube channel. Listen below.

“Fans of the golden era of Industrial Metal have just gained another classic.” (Musique Machine)

BONG-RA‘s signature low-frequency weight, cinematic horn arrangements and percussive austerity remain at the core, but on “Esoterik” they are recontextualised, distorted, mechanized and reforged into a denser, more monolithic sound. The result is an album that feels both primal and post-apocalyptic, ritualistic yet modern, symbolic yet physical.

A spiritual successor to 2025’s “Black Noise“, the record delves deeper into the shadows and luminescence of the occult, expanding the ritualistic atmospheres explored on previous albums “Antediluvian” (2018) and “Meditations” (2022).

Köhnen comments on this fusion:

“I was curious to see the result of the fusion between the styles of the previous albums with the new path taken. Apart from there being a lot of similarities in atmosphere I wanted to be able to also continue the line with the more occult and archaic themes which set a great contrast with the futuristic dystopian atmosphere of (2025 preceding album) “Black Noise“. The idea was already born during the creative process of “Black Noise“, it was just a matter of patience to put those ideas into fruiting a year or so later.“

The title of BONG-RA‘s new album “Esoterik” hints at the record’s conceptual framework, drawing on occult and hermetic traditions. This philosophical dimension is also reflected in the cover artwork, where enigmatic figures evoke a blend of ancient mythological imagery and futuristic, almost extraterrestrial aesthetics.

Köhnen elaborates on the conceptual ideas:

“Hermeticism and Stoicism have been major influential guidelines to life for well over a decade. Hermeticism helps me answer questions to the metaphysical and Stoicism is the guiding moral compass for the physical. “Esoterik” is a wide-ranging accumulation of ideas regarding hidden layers to our existence.“

Find all album info here!

“Esoterik” will be released on CD, vinyl — including an exclusive DMP vinyl edition — and digital on March 20th. An exclusive T-shirt design will accompany the release. Pre-orders are available via DMP’s EU, US and Bandcamp shops.

Jason Köhnen began his musical journey in 1988 as the vocalist/bassist for BLUUURGH…, an underground Dutch Crust/Death Metal/Grindcore band. Following the release of an EP and LP, in 1991 he founded the Death-Doom band CELESTIAL SEASON, gaining widespread recognition as a prominent name in the genre outside the renowned ‘Peaceville 3′.

In 1996, Köhnen shifted from Metal to electronic music, creating the project BONG-RA and pioneering the intense Breakcore genre of electronica. His 1998 debut album led to a Peel Session in 2002, and established BONG-RA as one of the first acts to fuse Extreme Metal with electronics. The experimentation deepened with releases like the 2007 “Grindkrusher” EP, featuring BOLT THROWER samples, and collaborative releases with noise artist Maruosa in DEATHSTORM and the neo-classical Doom project WHITE DARKNESS.

Beyond BONG-RA, Kohnen co-founded THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE and later THE MOUNT FUJI DOOMJAZZ CORPORATION, releasing a series of cult albums up to 2013. Over his 30-year career, he has collaborated with notable artists such as VENETIAN SNARES and IGORRR, performed at major festivals including Glastonbury and Dour, and toured globally, sharing the stage with legendary acts like APHEX TWIN, MINISTRY and THE PRODIGY.

After a brief hiatus, during which BONG-RA explored Doom, Electronica and Jazz – including via 2018’s “Antediluvian” and 2022’s “Meditations” – Köhnen is now returning to his Metal and Grindcore roots. A deal with Debemur Morti Productions, also home to his Doomjazz project THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET, has been reached.

BONG-RA now prepares for a new era as a live three-piece featuring guitarists Attila Kovacs and Botond Fogl. This freshly rejuvenated vehicle for Metal/breaks fusion debute in early 2025 with a new record “Black Noise” and continues its journey with forthcoming “Esoterik” album (2026) and more touring.

MONSTROSITY Release New Video for ‘Banished to the Skies’

US death metal legends MONSTROSITY present their video for “Banished To The Skies,” the ferocious opening track of their Screams From Beneath The Surface full-length, out now on Metal Blade Records.

Drummer Lee Harrison wrote the song during the mixing sessions for MONSTROSITY‘s previous album, The Passage Of Existence. It features dark, melodic sections with Mark Van Erp’s basslines standing out distinctly. Intricate hi-hat and ride cymbal patterns blend with Harrison’s signature double bass drumming. Matt Barnes’ iconic solo kicks off the track, delivering a powerful, crushing dynamic to the song. A killer performance from new vocalist Ed Webb tops off the track. The video for the song was captured in Nashville, Tennessee, by Inferi guitarist Malcolm Pugh.

Watch the band’s previously released video for “The Colossal Rage” HERE.

Screams From Beneath The Surface – their first full-length in seven years – showcases the band’s signature blend of aggression, technical precision, and intensity. Led by drummer, founder, and primary songwriter Lee Harrison, MONSTROSITY is reinvigorated with a formidable lineup: long-tenured guitarist Matt Barnes, the triumphant return of original bassist Mark Van Erp, and vocalist Ed Webb (ex-Massacre), whose guttural, visceral delivery injects electrifying new energy into the band’s sound. Screams From Beneath The Surface not only solidifies MONSTROSITY‘s hallmark death metal ferocity but also pushes the genre’s boundaries, forging a path that is both innovative and true to their roots.

In a 9/10 rating, Rock Hard Germany calls the record, “A strong contender for the title of Death Metal Album Of The Year!” Aardschok awarded the band Album Of The Month accolades writing, “MONSTROSITY is already setting the bar very high… for the upcoming (death) metal releases of 2026. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard such a strong death metal album, one whose songs, despite – or perhaps because of – their sheer variety and dynamism, remain memorable after two listens and make such an impression. Year-end material,” while Decibel Magazine notes, “MONSTROSITY are doing the aging-like-fine-wine thing after 36 years and seven albums…” Adds Metal Bite, “Screams From Beneath The Surface is indicative of a band with plenty of juice left, plenty of great ideas but most importantly, plenty of understanding of what constitutes the real authentic technical death metal experience. Perfection.“

The recording process spanned multiple studios to achieve sonic perfection. Drums, bass, and mixing were handled at Audiohammer Studios under the expert guidance of producer Jason Suecof (The Black Dahlia Murder, Deicide, Job For A Cowboy), while vocals, guitars, and mastering took place at the legendary Morrisound Studios, where MONSTROSITY reunited with revered producer Jim Morris (Iced Earth, Warrant, Savatage), alongside Mark Prator and BJ Ramone. This combination of cutting-edge and classic production techniques ensures a punishing sound that is honoring the band’s storied history while embracing modern death metal’s evolution.

THE MUGSHOTS Drops New Video ‘Inter Ludus (An Embalmer’s Lullaby Part III)’, Feat. Mario “The Black” Di Donato + Tommy Talamanca

THE MUGSHOTS continue their march toward the release of the new album “Gloomy, Eerie And Weird” with the release of a new song. It’s one of the most musically and emotionally iconic tracks from Mickey E. Vil’s band’s latest offering, “Inter Ludus (An Embalmer’s Lullaby Part III)”, featuring the great Mario “The Black” Di Donato on vocals and guitar, in his last studio recording. If that wasn’t enough, Tommy Talamanca of Sadist has made it unique with his keyboards.

The evocative video, realized by Mickey E.Vil himself, is available on YouTube:

Mickey comment: “Mario was very passionate about this participation. I remember him telling me he’d turned down other guest appearances because he’d fallen in love with THE MUGSHOTS so much that, when I asked him to record the Latin part, he called me and said, «Can I record the guitar solos too? I’ve got some ideas». I was beyond honored, as was when he asked me to make a drawing, which he then exhibited alongside works by Mark Greenway (Napalm Death), Roger Rasmussen (Carpathian Forest), and many others.
Thanks for your Ars Metal Mentis, Mario!”

The journey through darkness, irony, and vision is enriched with a new gem; prepare yourself for an extraordinary experience.

EIHWAR Announce First-Ever U.S. Tour

Since breaking the Internet two years ago, EIHWAR have quickly grown into a real live force. The fantasy Viking duo have entranced sold-out crowds across Europe, at major festivals like Wacken Open Air, Hellfest and Midgardsblot, and during dates supporting The Hu. This year, pagan superheroes Asrunn and Mark are drawing hordes of fans deeper into their Viking War Trance with their hotly-received new album. Hugrheim sets Viking dance floors ablaze with shamanic drums, magical chants and powerful electro beats.

“Hugrheim is here to make you lose yourself, embrace your inner Viking raver and dance your tits off”, Metal Hammer UK writes in a 4 star review.

As Hugrheim continues to pound across the international music landscape from dusk to dawn, today, Eihwar are thrilled to announce their first-ever U.S. tour. This fall’s Nordic Ritual Nights tour brings warriors of the dance floor in 17 U.S. cities from coast to coast a chance to raise their drinking horns high and shake what the gods have given them. The setlist for this tour includes new singles “Nauðiz”, “Freyja’s Calling”, “Heill Óðinn” and “Hugrheim”, which have combined for more than two million plays on YouTube and Spotify.  

“We’re honored to bring the songs of Hugrheim to the United States”, Eihwar says. “On stage, we open a path toward Hugrheim, the hidden tenth world of Yggdrasil, where ritual drums, chants and electronic pulses call the warriors of the North to gather. Expect a night somewhere between a ritual and a slightly unhinged dancefloor. If a Viking Shakira appears next to Fjordcore’s version of Darth Vader… do not worry. That simply means the gates of Hugrheim are open”.

Get ready for the wild electro Nordic folk of EIHWAR! These “Enfants Terribles” aren’t here for solemn atmospheres—their fierce and festive fantasy is made for raging Viking dancefloors. Backed by Season of Mist (home to Heilung and Danheim), Eihwar burst onto YouTube in 2023 and hasn’t slowed down since. With millions of views and festival appearances at Hellfest, Wacken Open Air, and Midgardsblot at the Midgard Viking Center in Norway, they bring a new wave of pagan power shaking across Europe.

This second album from Eihwar describes the world from which these two pagan superheroes originate. It is “Hugrheim,” the 10th hidden world of Yggdrasil in Eihwar’s fantasy mythology. The two musicians explain:

“Over the past few years, our souls have gradually taken over the bodies of two human musicians. Through incarnation, we lost much of our memories. All that remains are images, emotions, and fragments from our previous existence, mixed in with the thoughts and memories of our human hosts. In this new song, we evoke the memories that gradually come back to us: memories of Hugrheim, the tenth world of Yggdrasil, hidden and unknown to men. This world is shaped by the Hugr, the spirit. In this realm dwell the invisible forces of the soul and consciousness. When our vessels perish here and our incarnation ends, we will return to Hugrheim. Still, we hope to remain here as long as possible this time, because nowadays the beer is fucking good, the rockstar life is pretty damn cool, and dental anesthesia actually exists.” — Mark & Asrunn

Line-up:
Asrunn — Vocals, Shamanic Drums
Mark — Vocals, War Drums, Lute, Folk Guitar, Tagelharpa, Percussion & Programming

TRIOSPHERE Share New Single + Lyric Video ‘Monster’s Ball’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 17, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Triosphere. Leave a comment

Norwegian heavy metal band Triosphere are excited to share their new single and official lyric video, “Monster’s Ball”, the first to be released through Frontiers Music Srl.

The band stated: “The time has finally come to share some brand new music! We have been looking so much forward to this moment for so long, and the very first track we now release into the “wild”, is “Monster’s Ball”! This is a fierce tune with – in our opinion – a heavy Triosphere-signature, and lyrics about the role of echo chambers in the face of cruelty and destruction. We truly hope it will be greeted well by listeners all over the world and just stay tuned because we’ve now just started!”

Stream “Monster’s Ball” HERE

Triosphere were formed in 2004 by guitarist Marius Silver Bergesen and singer/bassist Ida Haukland. They brought in drummer Ørjan Aare Jørgensen, and guitarist Tor Ole Byberg joined the band in 2006. The band amicably parted ways with Jørgensen in 2014 and welcomed Kenneth Tårneby to fill the drummer’s chair.

Triosphere’s music moves in between hard rock, power prog and thrash metal, and presents uniquely honest and hard-hitting songs; from the heaviest to the calmest, from intricate to classic, all led by strong melodies and compelling guitarwork. 

Triosphere released their debut album “Onwards” on FaceFront Records in 2006/2007. It received rave reviews, and the award “Best Metal Album” from the world’s largest independent music organization JPF’s at their annual JPF Awards in Nashville in 2009. 

In 2010, the band signed with AFM Records, who released their sophomore album “The Road Less Travelled” (2010), and “The Heart Of The Matter” (2014). Both albums received huge critical acclaim worldwide and consequently a growing number of listeners. 

Throughout the years, the band has had the privilege of touring with some of the truly great names within the rock and metal genre: their first tours in 2006 and 2007 was with W.A.S.P., and in the years to follow they have toured Europe with Arch Enemy, Sonata Artica, Kamelot, Timo Kotipelto, Jorn, Crimson Glory and Sirenia. 

They’ve opened for Dio and Nightwish, and played festivals like Wacken Open Air, Progpower USA, 70 000 Tons of Metal, Tons of Rock and Metaldays, to name a few.

The bands’ solid quality both on record and stage have earned them a steadfast audience and listeners around the world, something that has proven to stand the test of time in the long wait for Triosphere’s 4th album. The band has been active on stage until the pandemic hit, but in the years following this the band focused their time on finishing the album. 

From 2025 and onwards, Triosphere has teamed up with Frontiers Music Srl, and this new single is just a taste of what’s to come in the near future.

Line Up:
Ida Haukland – bass and vocals
Marius Bergesen – guitars
Tor Ole Byberg – guitars
Kenneth Tårneby – drums
