FOURTH and FINAL band announcement!
Nyrak (BE)
Nyrak is a progressive black metal band hailing from Belgium, embodying a relentless drive to push the boundaries of the genre. The band was conceived in 2021 by Guy Van Nieuwenhove, known in the metal community as Nevel of Gotmoor , as a bold and innovative solo studio project. His vision was to create a unique sound that combined the raw intensity of black metal with progressive elements, resulting in a sonic experience that is both dark and complex.
The initial phase of Nyrak’s journey saw Guy collaborating with various session musicians to bring his vision to life. This collaboration culminated in the release of the debut album, Malvs, in 2022. The album’s intricate compositions and haunting atmospheres quickly garnered attention, establishing Nyrak as a formidable new presence in the metal scene.
As the project gained momentum, it became clear that Nyrak was destined for more than just studio recordings. By March 2024, Nyrak had transformed into a full-fledged live act with a permanent lineup. This evolution was marked by the inclusion of seasoned musicians from prominent bands such as Gotmoor, Serpents Oath, Scarificator and Patroness. Each member brought their unique skills and influences, enriching Nyrak’s sound and solidifying its identity.
On May 3rd, 2024, Nyrak released their sophomore album, Devourer Of All. The album was met with critical acclaim, praised for its innovative compositions, relentless energy, and thematic depth. Devourer Of All not only resonated with existing fans but also attracted a wider audience, setting a promising tone for Nyrak’s future endeavors.
Continuing their trajectory of innovation, Nyrak is currently working on a groundbreaking new EP, slated for release by the end of 2024. This EP will be recorded in Dolby Atmos, making it the first extreme metal recording to utilize immersive audio technology worldwide. This pioneering approach is a testament to Nyrak’s commitment to evolving their sound and providing their audience with an unparalleled listening experience.
From its inception as a solo studio project to its current incarnation as a dynamic live band, Nyrak’s journey has been characterized by continuous growth and a passion for performance. As they prepare to release their pioneering EP and explore new frontiers in sound, Nyrak stands poised to make a lasting impact on the progressive black metal landscape. Nyrak is not just a band; it is a relentless force in the metal world, driven by a hunger for innovation and a dedication to delivering powerful, unforgettable music.

THIRD NAME out of four.
Grafjammer hails from the medieval city of Utrecht and plays primitive Dutch necrorock. Think 1st and 2nd wave black metal with a hearty pinch of D-beat and Mötorhead in songs filled with folkloric murder and madness from the underbelly of society. All swinging like a floppy tit and kicking like a hobnailed boot under a fat ass. Be warned.
Early 2025 will Grafjammer bring you their fourth full length album “De Tyfus, De Teerling” via Zwaertgevegt and Folter Records

SECOND band out of four.
Established in 2010, Asgrauw has become a name synonymous with authenticity within the genre. Known for their atmospheric and second-wave black metal sound, Asgrauw adds a unique twist to their music, creating a fast-paced yet hostile ambiance that has captivated fans for over a decade.
Asgrauw has touched on various themes in the past, such as negative thoughts and feelings, apocalyptic settings, death cults, local myths and even death itself.
Asgrauw has arrived at its sixth full-length album, musically a successor to Façade but with a new theme. This time Asgrauw has delved into the past, not contemporary history but that of ancient civilizations and what may have happened before on this earth.
They released Oorsprong some weeks ago, via Zwaertgevegt and Hidden Marly Production.
