Prognan
Melodic Black Metal band from Croatia
released the second Full-length album
Sjene nad Balkanom on January
24, 2024.
Decades after "Naši Životi Više
Ne Postoje" and the massive war
that hit the country, the situation is
no better. After so many deaths of
the people - scoundrels and rascals
came to power.
On the territory of the Balkans there
are many nations that are "united"
under the flag of the former
Kingdom of SHS - now in
1930's Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
Three friends - a Serb, a Croat
and German - meet at school and
upon finishing it, great friendship is
born between them. One of them
even becomes an investigator
and escort to a senior police
inspector in Belgrade.

The first case he attends will suddenly
throw him into the web of espionage and
make him question his own identity.
The journey itself and the search for the
truth will take him from Belgrade to
Zagreb, as well as Vienna.
The unspeakable crimes that happened
in the past are once again given voice of
the present and what he discovers will
shake him to his core.
Three friends, their search for truth and their
own identities in these turbulent times as the
shadows of a possible war loom over the country
and over themselves...will their friendship
withstand a potential new great war?"
"Sjene Nad Balkanom" (Shadows Over the
Balkans), band's second album, is a direct
continuation of the debut "Naši Životi Više Ne
Postoje" and talks about the gloomy period of
the Balkan states between 1934 and 1941.

Vitriol
Death Metal band from the
United States released the second
Full-length album Suffer &
Become on January 26, 2024.
In their latest release, "Suffer &
Become," Portland's VITRIOL
persists in their resolute pursuit
to both refine and redefine the
very essence of modern death
metal. Expertly recorded by
the band's visionary frontman,
Kyle Rassmussen, and skillfully
mixed by Dave Otero (known
for his work with Archspire and
Cattle Decapitation), VITRIOL's
second full-length album
wholeheartedly embraces mindbending
technical intricacies
and unadulterated ferocity,
leaving long-time fans
who've witnessed their stagedemolishing
prowess alongside
acts like Morbid Angel and Cattle
Decapitation
utterly
stunned. Tracks like "Shame and
Its Afterbirth" and "Weaponized
Loss" offer unadulterated forays
into a world of intense sonic
exploration, drenched in dense,
blackened sonics. VITRIOL's
impact is nothing short of
paradigm-shifting, obliterating
barriers and establishing new
standards, and "Suffer & Become"
stands as an unequivocal
masterpiece of contemporary
extremity.
