Napalm Recor

In Somnolent Ruin captures the essence of a band that no longer needs to prove anything - and yet still does. Active since the mid-1990s and having released their debut album, Where Lovers Mourn, in 2003, DRACONIAN have continuously demonstrated their unmatched ability to craft otherworldly doom melodies and searing heavy instrumentation, complemented by lyrics that read like poetry. Their art cuts deep, compelling listeners to confront their inner demons, wander through the darkest shadows, and even embrace emotional numbness, only to emerge with a sense of inner peace. This album confronts listeners with life's hardest questions, exploring feelings of alienation and the search for direction in unfamiliar territory.

Iconic Atlanta quintet SEVENDUST is back with its 15th studio album, ONE, set for release on May 1, 2026 via Napalm Records. The upcoming full-length LP forges ten simultaneously lean and gut-punching tracks out of gargantuan riffs, seismic grooves, and signature soul-stirring hooks, once again produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Alter Bridge, Falling In Reverse, Mammoth).

NERVOSA unleashes another round of fury on their new album, Slave Machine, out April 3, 2026 via Napalm Records. Album number six has the all-female thrash band release their inner beasts at staggering speed and with formidable emphasis. Having played the biggest metal festivals, from Wacken to Hellfest, making a lasting impression on fans and critics alike, and establishing founding guitarist Prika Amaral as their new singer with the previous record, Jailbreak (2023), NERVOSA aims to bridge the gap between old- school power and critical modernity. Once again working with DESTRUCTION's Martin Furia, Slave Machine is a crushing statement-it comes, sees, and conquers.
