Napalm Recor

Thundermother: Live'n'alive 2026 [CD]

Evergrey: Architects of a new weave 2026 [Digipack / 2 CD]

Top-charting originators of thrash EXODUS have emerged hungrier than ever in 2026. Resurging at full force with their 12th studio album and Napalm Records debut, Goliath (out March 20, 2026), the band reinforces their eternal foothold at the top of thrash metal's hierarchy with 10 of their most diverse, anthemic emissions to date. Further fueled by the widely embraced return of iconic late-era frontman Rob Dukes - first appearing on 2005's Shovel Headed Kill Machine - the album boasts what the band describes as the performance of his life. Goliath is EXODUS' most collaborative record in their four decade-plus history, featuring songs written by several band members and guest contributions from Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) and violinist Katie Jacoby.

Dominum: Night is calling 2026 [2 CD]

Kamelot: Dark Asylum [CD]

Xandria: Eclipse 2026 [2 CD]

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.
