Uploaded May 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 hours ago

Montreal (QC) - Progressive rock power house, KARCIUS, returns with Black Soul Sickness — a haunting and cinematic odyssey through the fragile architecture of the human psyche. The forthcoming album is Part III of a magnificent trilogy that includes The Fold (2018) and critically acclaimed release, Grey White Silver Yellow & Gold (2022).

Entirely produced by the band and mixed by guitarist and main composer Simon L’Espérance, this seventh studio album captures a group at the height of its artistic and emotional power.

Black Soul Sickness will be released May 8 on vinyl, CD, and digital formats.

$Cognizance Up The Prog-Death Ante! #metal #deathmetal #progressivedeathmetal Leeds (UK) - Following 2024’s critically acclaimed LP Phantazein, COGNIZANCE return with In Light, No Shape May 1 on Willowtip Records! The official video for the albums first single, Witness Marks, is available at https://youtu.be/LOhAHuT2zE8 Four LPs deep and a slew of EPs behind them, COGNIZANCE show no signs of restraining the pace of unrelenting inventive riffs and razor-sharp grooves. In Light, No Shape is a masterful Progressive Death Metal opus, rich in texture and atmospheric detail, delivering everything long-time listeners crave while channeling the mid-90s technical extremity of Death, Extol, and Meshuggah. This time, the band deliberately fractures the conventions of modern extreme production, opting instead for a more organic and visceral mix that sharpens the defining traits of their work.
