LORD OF THE LOST
"OPVS NOIR VOL.1"
Gothic Metal/ Dark Wave/ Industrial
Release date: 08.08.2025
(NAPALM RECORDS)

OPVS NOIR Vol. 1: To be continued…

A work, a transformation, a re-entry into the melancholic self – OPVS NOIR is in no danger of becoming an offspring of understatement, neither in its title nor in its musical opulence. And rightly so: Not only will it be the first album as a six-piece band, but it also marks the beginning of an entire album trilogy, set to be released in multiple editions, including, of course, strictly limited collector's items.

Each volume contains 11 songs, totaling 33 tracks that not only conclude the delightfully eccentric chapter of Blood & Glitter but also initiate an uncompromising return to the dark core of the band. While LORD OF THE LOST previously found themselves in the spotlight of vast open stages, OPVS...

FEUERSCHWANZ
"KNIGHTCLUB"
Epic/ Viking/ Folk Metal
Release date: 25.07.2025
(NAPALM RECORDS)

Top charting modern folk metal leaders FEUERSCHWANZ are set to release their twelfth studio album, Knightclub, on July 25, 2025 via Napalm Records. Over the years, the band has solidified its place at the forefront of modern folk metal, with recent albums Memento Mori (2021) and Fegefeuer (2023) both reaching #1 on the official German album charts. Their previous headline tours were nearly entirely sold out, they performed at prime slots at the biggest festivals, and their songs and videos have amassed millions of streams. A standout moment came at the end of 2024 when they celebrated their 20th anniversary at the largest Metfest ever, performing in front of over 7,000 enthusiastic fans.

With Knightclub, FEUERSCHWANZ continue on the momentous path they’ve forged...

YEAR OF THE GOAT
"TRIVIA GODDESS"
Dark Occult Rock/ Metal
Release date: 12.09.2025
(NAPALM RECORDS)

Six long years since their latest offering, Swedish occult rock frontrunners YEAR OF THE GOAT return with their fourth studio album, entitled "Trivia Goddess". Once again, they take a break from their ongoing trilogy that started with the award-winning album “Angels Necropolis” (2012), followed by the much-acclaimed “Novis Orbis Terrarum Ordinis” (2019).

Inspired by the most harrowing moments in women's history – vilified by churches and men of a petty god, devalued as the lesser sex throughout the history of the Abrahamic religions – in true satanic fashion, "Trivia Goddess" sees the Norrköping, Sweden-based dark rock collective oppose the structures of true evil in the world. Evoking a sinister, almost medieval spirit on tracks suc...
