Fort Lauderdale Black Metal band Benighted In Sodom (lead by a current member of Bethlehem (Deu)) have their release In Hora Maledictus - Part II for free download on the frontman's blog.

David Gold from Woods of Ypres just posted this on his Facebook page:

David I. Ypres Happy New Year! Download the 8 song THRAWSUNBLAT - 'demo' (raw melodic folk metal) torrent here (w/ me on drums), FREE! http://www.mininova.org/tor/3190013

I'm listening right now, and this is GREAT - almost a pure mix of "Against the Seasons" and "Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth," to my ears. Everything is FANTASTIC about this album. Highly recommended.

Pagan black metal band Theudho have their recent digital-only EP up for free download.

http://users.telenet.be/weihan/theudho/news001.htm

Good stuff.

Someone might have posted this already, but Gama Bomb's entire new album for free: http://earache.com/gamabomb/

A bit off topic - my music still appears to be available online thru my Myspace and Blog pages, yet it appears that my page here in the Metal Archives has been deleted.

And yet my Dimaensia Nexus page still shows up.

Any explanations why?

Band: Vornagar from USA Album: The bleeding holocaust genre: Melodic Death Metal source: band's Myspace Blog http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuse ... =505479823 This is not gothemburg, not another inflames/dartk tranquillity/at The gates clone band, not metalcore-oriented. No keyboards (i don't hate keyboards). Their music is fast and technical with good riffs, great drum performance and many melodic guitar passages.

Didn't see either of these artists listed anywhere in here... Cloudkicker Keith Merrow Both artists are one-man instru-metal projects, musically along similar lines as Animals As Leaders and Bulb.

Thanks for posting this, I love this band. Edit: Muggle Death Camp's EP is available at his mypsace page. Pretty good industrial black metal. "Lament in the House of Gaunt" is a great symphonic piece. Edit again: Ex-power/prog metallers (currently prog rockers) Prophexy have their entire first full-length (released in 2004) available for free download at their official site, just scroll down in the discography section. http://www.prophexy.com/prophexy/discography/

Power metal band Gaia Epicus have just made their first four albums available for free, band-sanctioned download. Never heard of them before, but judging from 'Iron Curtain' which I'm listening to now well worth it if you fancy some punchy, German-style power metal. Great vocals. Anyway, they're only up for two weeks from now so get on with it! http://www.gaia-epicus.com/freealbums.html I should also post up their disclaimer: "Remember: Bands put a lot of work and money into making music for you, so you should always buy the music you like! This will support the bands so they can make more albums, and go on tour. IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR THEN WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL DELETE ALL FILES FROM YOUR COMPUTER."

I used to run the website BlabberDownload.com (I stopped running the website when I decided I would no longer call myself a Christian.) It features, for the most part, free albums, EPs, demos, etc. It is full of band-sanctioned downloads and free-releases. All the bands featured on here are Christian or at least have Christian members, so if that bothers you then do not download them. Besides that, there are many entries which are not really all that great but there are a few gems such as: - Encryptor - Encryption - All the featured Kekal albums - All the Betrayer stuff - Some of the Compilations - Elan - For the Eternally Haunt the Sojourner - Desire of Pain - Ashes of the Darkness - The Epta Astera albums - Rising Cross - Trumpets of Victory - Menahem - Angels and Shadows There are a couple more really good ones that I'm too lazy to go find haha.
