Invictus Productions sets October 5th as the international release date for Lucifericon's highly anticipated debut album, Al-Khem-Me.
Lucifericon are a study in patience and poise. Founded in 2009, it wasn't until 2012 when the band's first public recording, The Occult Waters EP, reared its shadowy head. Although The Occult Waters was the band's debut, the seemingly "new" Lucifericon was actually comprised of a number of metal scene veterans, its members having done time as Destroyer 666, Pentacle, Malicious Dream, and Excision among others. Naturally, at this stage, the quartet deeply understood the Metal of Death and proceeded to offer a unique, more atmospheric twist on it. Four years later followed another EP, Brimstone Altar, to further critical acclaim. Here, Lucifericon's death metal was blackened to a crisp, its robust recording allowing every evil nuance to spill from the soundfield and further bewitch the eardrums.
With that envious foundation judiciously set, at last arrives Lucifericon's first full-length recording, Al-Khem-Me. Tongue-twistingly titled but aptly so, Al-Khem-Me keeps apace with the developments of Brimstone Altar and further masters the art of the "patient payoff." Its blackened DEATH literally explodes from the very first seconds, but the band's songwriting builds detail upon subtle detail despite the obvious aggression employed. Utterly gnarled and gnarling, the lurch 'n' lunge across Al-Khem-Me creates a bewilderingly slipstreaming effect, dragging the listener into a distant, nameless vortex, but always with a keen knack for memorability. For above alll, this is METAL, unbending and unyielding, forged in fire and weilded as a weapon; it just so happens that Lucifericon's is one fully set on attack, its intensity steeped in the grand traditions of late '80s / early '90s death.
With mesmerizingly detailed fully vertical artwork by none other than Adrian Baxter and rounded out by gutscrushing production, Al-Khem-Me heralds the grand arrival of Lucifericon!

ORACULUM returns with a new ritual of violent and dissonant death metal, a testament to their unyielding dedication to the genres most unholy and primal roots.
Since their formation in 2011, Oraculum has forged a path of sonic malevolence, drawing from the legendary tradition of Chilean death metal. Their sound is a vortex of cavernous production, bludgeoning riffs, and occult-infused fury, a sound that has earned them a loyal following within the global metal underground. Hybris Divina is a further descent into this darkness, an exploration of mythical and spiritual blasphemy rendered in a style that is both raw and punishing.
Now, we unveil the second single, Dolos, released in partnership with Deaf Forever Magazine.
Hybris Divina will be officially released on January 9, 2026. Invictus Productions will also be releasing a new LP version of the band’s Sorcery of the Damned EP in conjunction with the new album.
