Hungarian Death Metal powerhouse ANGERSEED released their new album “Rapture is Mine… Glory is Ours”
Hungary’s Old-School Technical Death Metal force ANGERSEED returns with their long-awaited second full-length album, “Rapture is Mine… Glory is Ours“, marking nine years since the band’s debut, “The Proclamation“. The new record sees the band reconnecting with its early roots while boldly reshaping its sound into a more modern, dynamic, and expressive form. The lyrical themes delve deeper than before, enhancing the band’s characteristic social-critical perspective with profound inner and spiritual reflections.
The album spans 45 minutes across eight new compositions, followed by a special Hungarian-language bonus track, “Epilógus / Számvetés 33“, a poetic, introspective summation of frontman Peter D. Maniak‘s 33-year musical journey.
The album title reflects the culmination of a long and demanding creative era. This time, Peter D. Maniak assumed full artistic control over the songwriting, defining both the sonic identity and the future direction of ANGERSEED.
“Rapture is Mine… Glory is Ours” is out now on jewel-case CD edition, a collaboration between Pest Records and Metal Ör Die Records, and is available to play / order here:

MERCULISTARYA, One-Man Band by Árpád Szenti (Thy Catafalque, Ahriman, Athame, Damnation), Announces Debut Album
Hungarian Black Metal one-man band MERCULISTARYA announce its debut full-length album to be released on Pest Records and Metal Ör Die Records this February 20th. Titled “Áradó fájdalom a tűnődés medrében“, this is the deeply personal and emotional work of Árpád Szenti, known from his work in bands like Thy Catafalque, Ahriman, Athame or Damnation.
As a taste of things to come, here’s the first single for the track “Rémálomköd” which features the guest appearance of vocalist Ivett Dudás also of Thy Catafalque fame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5Re4Z4GUsg
“Áradó fájdalom a tűnődés medrében” is available for pre-order here: https://pestrecords.bandcamp.com/
“Áradó fájdalom a tűnődés medrében is a concept album, each song connected, each meaning intertwined, forming a single immersive narrative. It follows a thorn‑ridden path of struggle, fear, disappointment, madness, resignation, and death, contrasted against the vastness of nature, its elemental force, its mysticism, and the unseen dimensions that pulse beneath reality.
This album is a fragment of my soul. Through MERCULISTARYA, I unearthed emotions and energies that could not have surfaced through any other form of expression.
MERCULISTARYA is a long‑standing personal vision, a vessel through which my inner world takes musical form. Rooted in the darker currents of old‑school Black Metal, it draws from the place where the genre first spoke to me. The earliest foundations were laid in 2002, when the songs began to take shape, guided by dreams, shadows, and the subconscious landscapes that inspired both the music and the lyrics.
Despite years of obstacles, the album was first recorded in 2009 but remained unreleased as my focus shifted toward the bands in which I served as drummer (Athame, Ahriman, Sentio Ergo Sum, Damnation, Fagyhamu, Voidshrine, and Thy Catafalque). MERCULISTARYA was set aside, waiting for its moment.
In 2024, with renewed experience and a stronger technical foundation, I chose to resurrect the material and re‑record the entire work. This final version is the true realization of what the project was always meant to be.” Árpád Szenti
