Watch the video here: youtu.be/Msssm0hLy6U
Set for release on May 2, 2025, via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records, "Posthumous Resurrection" will be available in CD and digital streaming formats. This record marks a new milestone for the band, solidifying their signature blend of blues-infused, groove-heavy, doom-laden rock ‘n’ roll sludge, often described as a "SATANIC BLUES RUMBLE."
Formed in 2006, MASTER CHARGER have carved a distinctive path in the underground heavy scene, refining their sound across previous releases, including "Unity in Black" (2011), "Eroding Empires" (2016), and "Origin of the Lugubrious" (2020). Their crushing live performances have seen them share the stage with acts such as Monolord, Orange Goblin, Black Rainbows, Conan, Raging Speedhorn, Fireball Ministry, Dead Witches, Overkill, Alunah and Paradise Lost, along with appearances at major festivals like HRH Doom vs Stoner, HRH Metal Chapter III and Hammerfest XI.
Drawing influence from the titans of heavy music, including Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Motörhead, Slayer, Venom, Celtic Frost, Black Flag, Trouble, Saint Vitus and Pentagram, MASTER CHARGER deliver a relentless fusion of vintage doom, raw sludge, and unfiltered rock energy.
With "Mass Produced, Mass Destroyed", the band sets the stage for the impending release of "Posthumous Resurrection," promising an unrelenting sonic assault that will leave no stone unturned. Stay tuned for more updates and prepare to witness the next chapter of MASTER CHARGER’s unstoppable rise!

Icelandic stoner doom metal psychonauts SLEEPING GIANT proudly announce their signing with Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records, marking a powerful new chapter in the band’s journey through crushing riffs and cosmic heaviness. To celebrate this partnership, the band unleashes their debut single “Conqueror”.
Emerging from the volcanic underground of Iceland, SLEEPING GIANT channel the raw spirit of Stoner and Doom Metal, enriched by elements of Thrash, Death and Sludge. Their sound is a fierce blend of massive grooves, razor-sharp drumming, and roaring vocals, a true tour-de-force of heavy metal energy.
Originally formed in 2009, the band’s debut performance erupted just steps away from Iceland’s “pots-and-pans revolution.” Quickly earning a cult reputation for their visceral sound and onstage ferocity, SLEEPING GIANT became one of Iceland’s most intriguing underground acts. After a decade of hibernation, the giant finally awoke in 2023, returning to the stage at Reykjadoom and Norðanpaunk festivals, and entering the studio to craft their long-awaited first official release, soon to be revealed through Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records.
SLEEPING GIANT are:
Oddur Freyr Þorsteinsson – Vocals
Finnbogi Jökull Pétursson – Guitars, Backing Vocals
Árni Björn Björnsson – Guitars
Guðmundur Hrannar Eiríksson – Guitars
Einar Darri Einarsson – Bass

![SHADOW WITCH - Tell Me (official single) /// ARGONAUTA Records
2024 should be one helluva year for Shadow Witch, given the potency of their upcoming fourth release, “Eschaton (The End Of All Things)”, coming on ARGONAUTA Records.
[Band info courtesy of David LaMay] Those already familiar with the bands signature mix of dark 70s hard rock, doom, stoner, and hints of proto-punk will absolutely not be disappointed, but all is not as it was before.
This time around, a great many nuances from the past are brought to the fore, and this is certainly what should be considered their most dynamic, and, dare I say, accessible effort yet. The catchy hooks that were once reigned in are now literally everywhere, and the choruses, also plentiful, are absolutely huge, with the latter often carrying a strong gospel flavoring. The dark grooves of old sound quite comfortable sharing time with the sunlight freshly peeking through the bands oft-drawn curtains. This new album is denser than the others, and Lundy delivers what Id say is his most varied, colorful, and soulful vocals to date. No easy feat.
Its obvious, at least to this listener, that Shadow Witch wanted a new, perhaps intentionally unexpected infusion of something adventurous, and they have proven themselves more than up to the sizable task on this fourth trip to the studio.
This is a remarkable listen, from start to finish.
Need more proof? Check out the lead-off single “Tell Me” to get a tasty little nibble of whats going on with the band in the present. Its AC/DC-influenced anthemic intro and subsequent uptempo groove is not to be denied, just.... enjoyed:

Founded 2015 in New Yorks Hudson Valley, SHADOW WITCH is an enigmatic beast of a band, harnessing decades of varied influences with a decidedly vintage rock sensibility. Beginning with their first release ‘Sun Killer’ in 2016, and ‘Disciples Of The Crow’ in 2017, the band has garnered excellent reviews from the international heavy music community. After signing to Italy’s ARGONAUTA RECORDS, the band returned in 2020 with their brooding occult-rock ode to obsession Under The Shadow of a Witch. This year, again with ARGONAUTA, SHADOW WITCH release their highly anticipated fourth album ESCHATON (The End of All Things).
