No Clean Singing & Black Metal Streams;

Nyrak – Phoenix Mortis
Release Date: October, 30, 2025
Genre: Progressive Black metal
Formats: Vinyl / CD / Digital

For Fans Of: Der Weg Einer Freiheit, Septicflesh, Dimmu Borgir & Ne Obliviscaris

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 craft a unique sound that fused the raw intensity of black metal with progressive and orchestral elements, resulting in a sonic experience that is both dark and complex.

In its early stages, Nyrak saw Guy collaborating with a range of session musicians to bring his vision to life. This led to the release of the debut album Malvs in 2022, an ambitious and atmospheric record that quickly gained attention for its intricate compositions and haunting moods, establishing Nyrak as a formidable new presence in the metal scene.

As momentum grew, it became clear that Nyrak was meant to evolve beyond the studio. By March 2024, the project had transformed into a full-fledged live band with a permanent lineup.

On May 3rd, 2024, Nyrak released its critically acclaimed second album, Devourer Of All. Lauded for its innovation, thematic depth, and relentless energy, the album resonated strongly with fans and critics alike, expanding Nyrak’s reach across the international metal landscape.

In May 2025, the band took a bold step forward with the release of a new EP Faceless Tyrant, recorded in Dolby Atmos. This immersive and cinematic work represents another evolution in the band’s sound — more layered, intense, and boundary-defying than ever before. As one of the first extreme metal acts to embrace immersive audio technology, Nyrak reaffirmed its commitment to innovation and artistic exploration.

Building on the foundations laid by this EP, Nyrak’s third full-length album is set for release in October 2025. It will further develop the sonic and thematic paths explored in previous releases, offering a compelling and powerful journey through the darker realms of progressive black metal. From its origins as a solo project to its current form as a dynamic live entity, Nyrak’s story is one of constant evolution, artistic integrity, and a passion for performance. The band stands as a relentless force within the genre – driven by a hunger for innovation and a dedication to delivering immersive, unforgettable music.

TRACKLIST
1 Leviathan
2 Promethean Fire
3 Floods of Gilgamesh
4 Die Verwandlung
5 In the Halls of the Aesir
6 Phoenix Mortis I: In this Void
7 Phoenix Mortis II: Requiem
8 Phoenix Mortis III: Ashes to Flesh

On October 30th, 2025 internationally, Void Wanderer Productions are proud to present Nyrak’s striking album Phoenix Mortis.

With Phoenix Mortis, Belgian progressive black metal collective Nyrak unveils its most ambitious and conceptually charged work to date. This third album isn’t a mere collection of songs, it’s a meticulously crafted journey through mythology, self-destruction, and rebirth. Every track contributes to a thematic and musical arc that spans from the underworld to the pyres of human consciousness.

After a symphonic build-up, Leviathan erupts with brutal intensity. Pulsing rhythms, dissonant textures, and slicing guitar layers pull the listener into a vortex of chaos. The track feels like an awakening, not sluggish, but furious and determined. Choirs heighten the drama, giving it a ritualistic weight as if an ancient evil is being resurrected. Promethean Fire unfolds as an epic fusion of progressive black metal and majestic classical orchestration. Grim riffs and furious drums lay the foundation for a tale of redemption and rebellion. This fiery hymn of relentless strength and dark passion stands as one of the album’s highlights. Floods of Gilgamesh begins with the rhythm of a death mass, cold and hypnotic. It then explodes into icy riffs reminiscent of the Scandinavian masters: raw and unforgiving. Ominous staccato strikes cut sharply through the atmosphere. Die Verwandlung sinks into a claustrophobic ambiance that unfolds slowly. The track combines dragging riffs, subtle tempo shifts, and menacing orchestral frameworks to evoke a hallucinatory transformation. Musically, it balances hypnotic repetition with psychotic outbursts. In the Halls of the Aesir portrays a tale of struggle and salvation within a soundscape that’s both heavy and bombastic yet intimate and emotional. It carries the listener from shadowy depths to exalted heights, perfectly embodying the album’s dramatic tone.

The album concludes with the breathtaking trilogy Phoenix Mortis, where the central theme, destruction as a prerequisite for transformation, reaches its full expression. From the introspective void of In This Void, through the tragic farewell of Requiem, to the fiery resurrection of Ashes to Flesh, the album circles back to its own origin. What dies, returns. What burns, rises again.

Phoenix Mortis is a layered, ritualistic concept album where every composition fits perfectly. With it, Nyrak has not only refined its sound but sharpened its artistic vision. This is black metal that’s as ruthless as it is thoughtful—a battlefield of dissonance and beauty where even hope must walk through fire.

Second single drop “Riders of the Winter Sky” by Henere, taken from upcoming ablum “The Chosen Path”.

VOID WANDERER PRODUCTIONS & WAR PRODUCTIONS are thrilled to present you the second single “Riders of the Winter Sky” by US Black Metal band Henere.

This is Black Metal ;

Henere – The Chosen Path
Release Date: September, 19, 2025
Genre: Melodic Black metal
Formats: CD / Digital

For Fans Of: Immortal, Dark Fortress & Drudkh. 
Preorder link: https://voidwanderer.com/product/henere-the-chosen-path-cd-preorder/

Henere began as a personal vision. Created by Wretch in 2022, the band was formed to carve out a unique space for melodic black metal emerging from the United States, with a focus on storytelling, emotional depth, and cold expansive atmosphere.

The debut album Eye of the Storm was born from a close collaboration between Wretch and longtime creative partner Blood clot, with Wretch also handling bass. That record laid the foundation with a harsh melodic core and cinematic ambition. With the addition of Lament on bass and ambient horns, Frozen Veil of the North expanded the sound even further, introducing new tonal dynamics and a stronger sense of identity.

Now, with The Chosen Path, Henere steps into its clearest form yet. The songwriting is sharper. The arrangements are deeper. And the storytelling, the heart of Wretch’s vision, is more powerful than ever.

Henere continues to evolve but remains rooted in its core mission to craft immersive, emotionally driven black metal shaped by frost, myth, and the march toward something greater.

TRACKLIST
1) Incantation of Ice and Steel
2) Winds of Eldritch North  
3) Spectres of Glacier Tombs
4) Call of Valkyries
5) Riders of the Winter Sky
6) Heart of the Maelstrom
7) Frost Wolf’s Howl
8) Oath of the Chosen

On September 19th, 2025 internationally, Void Wanderer Productions & War Productions are proud to present Henere’s striking album The Chosen Path.

The Chosen Path is a bold statement from Henere. This third full-length album captures theforce and mournful grandeur of black metal shaped by cold winds, ancient myth, and the weightof destiny.

Following the storm-driven debut Eye of the Storm and the desolate majesty of Frozen Veil ofthe North, this new chapter moves with greater purpose. The sound is sharper. The vision iswider. Ritual, battle, and transcendence all collide across a frozen march that feels bothcinematic and deeply personal.

Henere brings a refined melodic touch to their harsh foundations. Tremolo riffs, commandingrhythm, and frostbitten vocals form the core. Carefully placed synth passages rise like distantsignals through the snow, adding atmosphere without overtaking the storm.The Chosen Path is more than an album. It is a cold ascent. A deliberate march into the heartof black metal’s most dramatic terrain. Henere does not follow traditions. They carve their own.

We are thrilled to premiere the full album “II – VOID SERMON” by Dutch Black Metal duo Ibex Angel Order.

Transmissions from the Dark hosts the premiere video and Zware Metalen has publiced an article of it here.

Ibex Angel Order – II: Void Sermon
Release Date: July, 24, 2025
Genre: Black metal
Formats: Vinyl / Digital
For Fans Of: Dödsengel/ Funeral Mist / Mare / Cultes des Ghoules.

After a decade of whirlwinds IBEX ANGEL ORDER finally return with their second full length “II: Void Sermon”. Much more vicious than its predecessor “I”, Void Sermon is a statement. An album which is a reminder of how Black Metal should be executed; Raw, unpolished and fierce. Black Metal is not about remorse but trampling hoofs on the soil of your foes.  Void Sermon will be an essential album for all who embrace the illumination of Lucifer. Each track has been forged with precision. Although many acts may produce more albums, IBEX ANGEL ORDER chooses to release when the time is right, and the hymns are manifested fully.  Submerge into the depths of the Sermon and dissolve your earthly existence.

TRACKLIST
1 – The Sword and the Sigil
2 – Void Sermon
3 – All Flames of Life Extinguished
4 – Shadow Weaver
5 – Belial Invoked
6 – None am I
7 – Archons Dethroned
8 – Equitem Caprarum

The ravenous duality known as IBEX ANGEL ORDER strives to unleash the dark shadows of the soul. Forging their black metal from traditions old and new. A whirlwind of razor-sharp riffs, unrelenting blasts, ear ripping vocals and a truly morbid and possessed atmosphere. These two veterans of the Dutch black metal scene are known for the intensity of their live performances, often described as hypnotic, ritualisticand crushing. The occult and sinister content of IBEX ANGEL ORDER can be felt both on stage as on their recordings. In IBEX ANGEL ORDER praise is given to the driving forces behind this music, the illumination of Lucifer and the all, encompassing duality of Abrasax. The union of K.M.K. and L.D.S. was forged in 1997 and IBEX ANGEL ORDER is the ultimate culmination of this union.

We are thrilled to premiere the full album “Fakkeldragers” by Dutch Black Metal band Hellevaerder.

Black Metal Promotion hosts the premiere

Release Date:June, 19, 2025
Genre: Black metal
For Fans Of: Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Emperor, Mayhem & Sargeist.

Fakkeldragers (Torchbearers) is a continuation of the tale of the guardian of light; the previous album, ‘In de nevel van afgunst‘ (In the mist of envy) told stories about the guardian of light defending the will to live while the worshippers of nothingness defended the need to perish the soul, becoming one with the universe.

In this saga the guardian is captured and dragged into the gates of eternal slavery, a world made from darkness. Light tries to find its way through the tiniest of openings, and the duality remains. After the capture she remains to find the will to live. The light conquers all, she said. But dying means enlightenment. After being dragged away towards the gates of nothingness she remains faithful to life. The will to live conquers the need to die…

The worshippers of nothingness are warriors of the unlight, the eternal stare-off between the everlasting wisdom in the here and now, foretold in 9 stories. You will be dragged down and be held captive. Forced to endure the tales of awakening. A way to deal with everyday life, a duality of wanting to, and needing to.

Death is nothing but a granted right, the whispers of the damned are chanting the echoes; ‘Death is liberating…’
Do not force yourself on these nine chants, those chants could redefine the process of life.
Celebrate life – Worship death

TRACKLIST

1. Een bepantserde kroon
2. Krijgers van het niets
3. De laatste dageraad
4. Handen geketend in ijzer
5. Fakkeldragers
6. Schaduwen van satijn
7. Waar wij vlammen trotseren
8. In de ban der lusten
9. Akelig gefluister (bonus track CD)

Fakkeldragers is a tale to celebrate life, worship death. This album continues the story of the guardian of light against the worshippers of nothingness.

This second full-length marks the maturing of Hellevaerder. Tracks are more in depth and bring a wider vision of the duality between the worshippers of nothingness and the guardian of light. Reach heights higher than might could conquer, discover hidden passages of the universe. Pick a side in the ongoing battle between dark and light…

Fakkeldragers was written and recorded during 2024. For the first time the entire band was a part of the writing process. During writing sessions we made almost all the tracks, everyone was part of every aspect of it.

This differs from the way we used to operate, one person made every track and others filled it with their vision. Our visions are now aligned, we are Hellevaerder. This marks the first record with all our creative skills combined.

Everything is produced in house, Daan Bleumink and Arjen Kleiss recorded everything and mixed it. The entire band had their say in every step, but we knew what we all were chasing.

Hellevaerder is a five-piece black metal band from Heerhugowaard, the Netherlands. While influenced by bands like Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Mayhem, Sargeist and Emperor, they bring their own unique taste of metal. High intensity music, filled with darkness. Their vocalist Miranda Visser shrieks everything to damnation, being guided by the followers of nothingness.

After their first full-length released in 2022; ‘In de nevel van afgunst’, they gave a taste of what’s to come. Before they started on the next full-length release, they made a trip down history with fellow Zwotte Kring bands Asgrauw, Schavot and Duindwaler (the later being the soloproject of Daan Bleumink). Together they released the greatly received ‘Verloren vertellingen’, which marked a more mature sound of Hellevaerder.

The saga continues as the guardian of light is captured. The second full-length is more madness fueled, insanity invoking and spiritual poisoning than before. Fakkeldragers will tell the next tale of the duality between light and dark. With over 50 minutes of mind terror, the suffering continues…

We are thrilled to premiere “Timescarred” by UK black metal band Vintras.

Transmissions from the Dark hosts the stream

Vintras – Timescarred
Genre: Black metal
Formats: CD

For Fans Of: Der Weg Einer Freiheit, Agalloch, Harakiri For The Sky, Panopticon, Altar of Plagues & Mgła

TIMESCARRED presents a suite of six compositions, epic in their melancholy, sweeping in their scope. In sorrow, in pain, in regret and in flickers of hope – a work of passing time in the wake of dream and the shadow of demise.

Black Metal as the natural expression of fury, desolation and despair, permeated with the dark melodicism of 80’s UK New Wave and Gothic Metal that soundtracked and inspired its creation.

TRACKLIST

1. In Death’s Dream
2. Timescarred
3. Hinterland
4. The Wretched Wanderer
5. Dethrone
6. Sorrowed Lands

VINTRAS was born as a conduit for misery and desperation. The reflection of a disintegrating psyche, ebbing and flowing through peaks and troughs of depression, frustration and anger. What has been endured has been channelled into a singular expression beyond the mortal coil, beyond the ordeal, beyond the physical. What was known is no more, now captured as immaterial missive within the flickering of timeless flame.

The vision of the self: a figure desperately fighting against the inevitable slide down the spiral. The realisation that we are all trapped as one: trapped by our past and unable to escape our future. A perpetual existence, wretched and forlorn.
