FATSO JETSON - LIVE AT MAXIMUM FESTIVAL
Very limited green vinyl version. Price a bit higher. Straight from the stage of Maximum Festival 2013, the performance of Fatso Jetson, out now on vinyl for Go Down Records. A band at the antipodes of the stoner rock wave, Fatso Jetson always remained unfairly at the corners of the mainstream scene, even though we're talking of a band between the initiators of the movement, along with Kyuss and Fu Manchu, and with the last one they also share the provenance, Palm Desert. If we add that Mario and Larry Lalli were also among the founders of Yawning Man, we understand how these people have been vital to the creation and development of desert rock. Though spiritual fathers of a musical genre that made of repetition its trump card, Fatso Jetson stand out from any other band for their mobile and heterogeneous sound, especially since 2010 when the band came back on the scene, after eight years of silence, sounded almost "punk" .The live @ Maximum Festival, Go Down Records' festival, shows that not only Fatso Jetson are more alive than ever, but also their professional growth. Today, the band sounds like a mix between hard-rock, jazz, blues, country, and psychedelic prog, with a monolithic and indelible stoner trace. 50 minutes of tight and aggressive live show, driven by the eclectic and eccentric voice of Mario Lalli! After listening, there will be just one possible comment: WOW! Go Down Records pays tribute to one of the most important bands of the scene that made the label famous and, in return, hoping to give back a little gratification this band deserves.



NIGHTSTALKER - SIDE FX (BLACK)
Reissue on black vinyl of this album from 1994. Produced by Thodoris Manikas and Alex K. from The Last Drive, this is raw '70s rock with screaming and blistering wah-wah guitars, heavy SABBATH-like riffs and LEMMY-type vocals. The tracks are 'Spit', 'What Your Name Is', 'Funny Paper', 'Keep Knocking' and 'Mad Prophet'.

EXPECTED - 2014.14



CASTLE - SECOND COMING/LABYRINTH OF DEATH
Black virgin wax, printed innersleeves, limited to 500 copies. Castle often refer to themselves as witch thrash in interviews, the explanation being quite simple: "there's a definite thrash element to our music even when were playing at slower tempos. It's a different sound, a little more complex maybe than your average doom or heavy metal band; and our lyrics do tend to dwell on themes of the occult. And," Mat adds, "inspired by Tony Iommi, all but three Castle songs are in C# tuning."

MOUNTAIN WITCH - SNAKE WAND/BLACK NIGHT
RELEASED FOR RECORD STORE DAY 2014-FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED! Mountain Witch re-recorded the instrumental opener of their breathtaking release 'Cold River', but this time WITH vocals! And damn, it really turned out great! On the flip there is a cover of the classic Deep Purople track 'Black Night'. Limited to 425 copies on green transparent vinyl.

ALASKAN - DESPAIR, EROSION, LOSS
Atmospheric post-metal from Ottawa, Canada. This trio knows how to write songs that feel dark and heavy. ALASKAN can easily be compared to bands s.a. Amen Ra, Neurosis, or Fall Of Efrafa. If you're into any of these names, Alaskan is without a doubt worth checkin' out.



ARIA - ARMAGEDDON (2LP)
This album of the best known heavy metal band in the former USSR was originally released in 2006. There isn't so much an Iron Maiden-influence here as in Aria's sound during the '80s. Experiments with melodic power-metal that was in vogue in the 2000s dominate here. This is a great example of modern hard-n-heavy music.



ARIA - PLYASKA ADA (3LP)
'Hell's Party'. Triple live record of the most legendary heavy ex-Sovjet metal band ever. A "greatest hits" set list that will please all the fans of Aria. Check out the real live sound of the heavy-metal legends from Moscow.



ARSTIDIR LIFSINS - THAETTIR UR SOGU NORDRS
Limited to 300 first edition comes as 180 gram black virgin wax, printed heavy inner sleeves. Pagan black metal with Helrunar, Drautran, Kerbenok members.



COLTSBLOOD - INTO THE UNFATHOMABLE ABYSS (2LP)
The thundering war drums, the voices of the old ones, the monolithic rumble of the war charge; COLTSBLOOD head unto the breach once more with a double LP of new war hymns, 'Into The Unfathomable Abyss'. Following on from 2013's self-released (and Ulthar repressed) demo 'Beyond The Lake Of Madness' and their split with Crypt Lurker, the battle-charged trio from Liverpool present their latest offering of crushing, often suffocating, doom. The trio are primal, bleak, utterly devastating and dripping with tar-black sludge. Following a CD/digital release on Candlelight Records, the seven-track album receives a much warranted vinyl pressing. The LP will be a co-release between Manchester's DIY filth merchants DRY COUGH RECORDS and Dutch stalwarts BURNING WORLD RECORDS. The battle-cries is available as a double LP in a gatefold sleeve, strictly limited to 300 copies.

CULT OF LUNA - ETERNAL MUSIC
In 2010 CULT OF LUNA independently released ' Eviga Riket', an audio book and DVD tlling the story of Holger Nilsson, a man who lived in the 1920s and who first lost his family and then his mind. This LP focuses on the music of that release only. 'Eternal Music' includes silk-screened cover art, printed in metallic golden ink on thick cardboard. The backside of the sleeve shows an illustration by Joris Vanpoucke that wasn't used for the original audio book.



DELAIN - THE HUMAN CONTRADICTION (2LP)
Double-LP on black vinyl. DELAIN will not only enthral symphonic metal fans with their fourth album 'The Human Contradiction', but also listeners new to the genre. Extremely catchy refrains, bewitching hooks and melodies, symphonic bombast and of course a good dose of Metal, that's how symphonic metal has to sound in 2014! Vocalist supreme Charlotte Wessels and her equally talented band of colleagues exceeded the highest expectations and have elevated the genre to a whole new level.



DREAD SOVEREIGN - ALL HELL'S MARTYRS (2LP)
Gatefold jacket, heavy printed innersleeves, limited to 300 first edition comes as 180 gram black virgin wax. Dread Sovereign is the born dead brain child of Nemtheanga from Primordial. Years of string hacking and slashing on guitar have finally come to realization as backed by Dubh SOL (Primordial) on drums and Bones (Wizards of Firetop Mountain) on guitar they have forged a new band. The blueprint is rough, raw old school doom / metal which reminds of Venom, Saint Vitus, Cirith Ungol and touches of late 80s early sepulchral black metal. Not intended to re-invent the wheel just to give it a good kicking in the true old evil metal fashion.



ESOTERIC (USA) - THE MANIACAL VALE (3LP)
3xLP Gatefold. Limited to 850 Copies. Hand Numbered. 900 Grams Split release between Aesthetic Death and Season Of Mist. Genre: Doom Metal "Swirling colours, deep drones and psychedelic moments: ESOTERIC will touch your mind, alter your state of consciousness and make you aware of the esoteric essence of space and time." Track listing SIDE A : 1.Circle. SIDE B : 2.Beneath This Face. SIDE C : 3.Quickening - 4.Caucus of Mind. SIDE D : 5.Silence SIDE E : 6.The Order of Destiny. SIDE F : 7.Ignotum Per Ignotius.



KIPELOV - X YEARS (CONCERT IN CRUCUS-CITY HALL, MOSCOW)
Kipelov is the solo-project of ex-Aria vocalist Valeriy Kipelov. This live album was recorded on December 1st, 2013 and it's dedicated to the band's 10th anniversary. Thios who enjoy a mix of power, heavy and melodic metal will really like it. Double-LP in a gatefold sleeve with a huge poster included.



LOUDBLAST - BURIAL GROUND (COL)
EDITION ON COLOURED VINYL! LOUDBLAST are legends in the French and worldwide underground scene, end of story. Not only because they started off as far as 1985 when the words death metal were barely invented. Or because of their Scott Burns-produced masterpieces 'Disincarnate' (1991) or 'Sublime Dementia' (1993) or European tours with DEATH or CORONER. No, if this lot, led by founding member and guitarist/vocalist Stphane Buriez, are so revered in their home-country, it's first and foremost because of their unrivalled career that saw them taking many surprising and risky left-turns without ever looking back. In 2011 'Frozen Moments Between Life And Death' proved to be their boldest move as refuelled by the arrival of youngsters Alex Lenormand (bass, ex-LOCUS, CODE, SIC) and Drakhian (lead guitar, GRIFFAR, ex-TAAKE, BLACK DEMENTIA), Buriez and his longtime drummer Herv Coquerel threw all the rules out of the window without turning their backs on their roots. 'Burial Ground' goes even further. A solid mix of classic and modern influences, it dares transgressing their traditional thrash/death style of yore to achieve a much more catchy sound.



MISERY INDEX - KILLER GODS (BLACK) (2LP)
LIMITED 400 COPIES. Alternative Cover + Bonus track. MISERY INDEX return with a fury worthy of the title of their new album, "The Killing Gods". With their fifth full-length, the American icons of hard-hitting brutality display the strength of maturity grown out of the experience gained as a relentless touring machine. The general trend of their continuous evolution to incorporate less core elements and move towards classic death metal finds a new high water mark with "The Killing Gods". Now brace yourselves, hold tight and duck for cover, for the wrath of the gods is upon us! Recommended if you like: MORBID ANGEL, DYING FETUS, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE, HATE ETERNAL, IMMOLATION, SIX FEET UNDER



NAGA - HEN
Recorded and mixed in Fall 2013 by Maddalena Bellini in Naples and mastered by James Plotkin in Philadelphia, 'Hen' is NAGA's debut album: 5 tracks of doom and post-core, a black monolith which recalls black metal atmospheres. The sound evoked by Emanuele Schember (bass), Lorenzo De Stefano (vocals and guitars) and Dario Graziano (drums), is a morbid, pachydermic, low-tuned mid-tempo. 'Hen' is the word used by the ancient Greeks to indicate the One, the divine principle embracing the whole reality, it's the highest idea, it's what the Becoming implies, it's where everything originates and everything returns.



SONATA ARTICA - PARIAH'S CHILD (2LP)
Finnish melodic metal outfit SONATA ARCTICA release their eighth studio album, the follow up to their successful 'Stones Grow Her Name' full-length. Double-LP on heavy vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.

WOODS OF DESOLATION - AS THE STARS (BLACK)
Limited 333 copies black vinyl. LP's come with gatefolds, A2 poster and logo sticker. 'As The Stars' is the new album from Woods Of Desolation, by now probably Australia's premier depressive black metal band. On this 3rd album, mastermind D. on guitars, with the help of session members (Vlad from Drudkh on drums, Luke Mills from Nazxul and Pestilential Shadows on bass, and Old from Drohtnung on vocals), continues the musical direction which was begun on 'Toward The Depths' and refined on the very successful 'Torn Beyond Reason'. Fans of the band will be pleased to hear that the main ingredients as well as the songwriting are similar to those on W.O.D.'s excellent sophomore album - haunting, melodic and intense depressive black metal, delving further into melancholy and the essence of personal expression through music, which may occasionally remind the listener of another of Australia's finest, AUSTERE, as well as ALCEST, and perhaps 'Brave Murder Day'-era KATATONIA.

EXPECTED - 2014.15



BLOOD CEREMONY - LET IT COME DOWN
Following the success of their internationally acclaimed third album, 'The Eldritch Dark', Blood Ceremony return with this single. 'Let It Come Down' further displays the uniqueness of this Toronto-based band. Conviction and dedication to what they do is evident and their songwriting sounds more confident than ever. Backed with a cover version of 'Loving You', originally recorded by obscure early '70s Scottish proto-metal legends Iron Claw, Blood Ceremony are rapidly becoming legends themselves.

These two venomous, bludgeoning tracks of unadulterated hatred will pummel you straight into the abyss. This is one hell of an introduction to a soon-to-be stalwart of the sludge/doom metal world. Let this 7-inch be the soundtrack to the end of your weak, pathetic life.

SATAN'S SATYRS - BLACK SOULS (USA)
US edition! 'Black Souls', the lead-off single from their 2014 album 'Die Screaming', is a wild ride out of the dungeon that spawned them into a three-dimensional orgy of forbidden delights. Swirling guitars, grinding bass, and thundering drums propel their sound to new heights. Backed with a USA exclusive instrumental B-side that brings to mind the classic soundtracks of yore, this record is released in an extremely limited edition.

SATAN'S SATYRS - LIVE AT THE BLACK CAT
Recorded live, shortly after the release of their debut LP, this 7-inch showcases the youthful energy and seasoned swagger of the premier power-trio of the twenty-tens. Filling the stage with their massive stacks of Mississippi-made gear and once-in-a-generation freak charisma, this is the first document of their fully realized lineup. Raw and loud, this puts you in the front row--the proper appetizer for their worldwide assault this year. Intriguing, heavy, and WILD BEYOND BELIEF!

THOU & THE BODY - RELEASED FROM LOVE
This is not a split, but a full-on collaboration between both bands on all tracks. Everything comes to its peak on these recordings. Everyone's voice is heard, through instrument or otherwise, clearly defining their role in the project. All the things that make both groups special are apparent and fleshed out. Edition on 180-gram black vinyl with heavy weight covers and letterpressed inserts.

The Russian warriors revolving around the impressive frontlady Masha "Scream" Arkhipova have perfected their unique style. Like never before, the band interweaves brutal metal riffs, pounding drums and folk melodies, the latter played mostly on authentic and medieval instruments. A Pagan Folk Metal Monument!

CRADLE OF FILTH - TOTAL FUCKING DARKNESS (2LP)
At last, after more than 20 years, 'Total Fucking Darkness', the infamous third demo from the UK's notorious Cradle of Filth, is being officially released. Featuring artwork from the twisted visions of Radio One presenter and occult artist, Daniel Carter, the release also includes some previously unheard tracks. The album kicks off with the track 'Spattered In Faeces', the only surviving track from the now mythical 'Goetia' sessions, followed with the recordings from 'Total Fucking Darkness'. Also included is another previously unreleased track, 'Devil Mayfair (Advocatus Diaboli)', recorded at Samhain 1992, plus three more tracks from that session, along with two short instrumental pieces from the band's former keyboardist, Ben Ryan.

NUX VOMICA - NUX VOMICA
Blending the suffocating atmospherics of doom/sludge with the raw ferocity of black metal, punk and d-beat, on their first album since five years Nux Vomica construct an organic heaviness caught somewhere between Neurosis and His Hero Is Gone. Their self-titled LP is a three-song, 40-plus-minute emotional odyssey into the depths of human darkness. A flawless combination of epic song structures with crushing melodies and colossal riffs with powerful dynamics, 'Nux Vomica' is a truly captivating listening experience that will appeal to fans of anything extreme.



OCTOBER FILE - THE APPLICATION OF LONELINESS (2LP)
DELUXE VINYL EDITION! 'The Application Of Loneliness, Ignorance, Misery, Love And Despair - An Introspective Of The Human Condition'. - This is a concept album based on the contents of the aforementioned title. Taking a look at the human state, what do we think we see and feel in certain situations, and how do we look at things from a totally unique perspective. This is a record that harnesses the essence of October File, offering anger and belief, as well as power and persistence. October File have earned a formidable reputation as one of the UK's heaviest and most intensely original bands. This post-punk-hc crew, formed in 2003 by guitarist Matt Lerwill and bassist Steve Beatty, has doggedly redefined what it means to convey ferocity and fury through the art of riffs, rhythms and incendiary, politically-charged lyrics.

IN SOLITUDE - (BLACK) SERPENTS ARE RISING/MOTHER OF MERCY
Limited 300 copies. "I love their 'Mother of Mercy' version. I wish we sounded that good!" - Eerie Von, Samhain. A: Serpents Are Rising B: Mother of Mercy.



BARBARIAN - FAITH EXTINGUISHER
Their 2012 split with BUNKER 66 predicted a change in approach, a direction which they continue here. Nevertheless, the seven tracks on 'Faith Extinguisher' are still 666% pure BARBARIAN. This album is a sermon of allegiance to ALL things metal the '80s way.



GREEN & WOOD - DEVIL'S PLAN
Remember the doom metal band from Los Angeles Green & Wood? They released a debut in 2009 by Cyclopean Records and a second full-lenght self-released 'Devil's Plan' in 2011. Unfortunately, after a tour in mid-2012, the group disbanded and the albums have been forgotten. 'Devil's Plan' is a special material that equally competed with the best doom metal album in 2011 'Capricorn' by Orchid. Made Available again. Judging by the album covers I think they have sticked with the same artist and it's good for them! The art is amazing and it totally gives the idea of what you should expect form album. Lyrics always twist around themes of occultism, or pagan/satanic/folk stuff. 'Devil's Plan' sounds much more doom oriented, heavier and darker than its predecessor. Flowers vocals have a clearer Ozzy orientation and that is particularly noticeable on the slower songs. Green & Wood seems to be another one of those bands that Black Sabbath would be proud of. Now that the grandfathers are reunited (11-11-11) you can only dream to catch these guys on a tour with Orchid and Ice Dragon. Having shared the stage with masterminds such as Pentagram, Graveyard, Red Fang, Shrinebuilder, Earthless, Valiant Thorr and others, Green & Wood would not sit still for long. Winter of 2011, deep within the mountains of doom, Green & Wood honed their craft with wizardry and wonder. Naturally something was stirring up. That something was 'Devil's Plan'. Recorded solely in the living room of Ethan and Magda's house in Highland Park, California on a host of rotten old tape on a rotten old 8 track, 'Devil's Plan' started as a single and magically morphed into a full-length release in no time. Soon after, Green & Wood teamed up with Saviours to bring 'Devil's Plan' live to the uninitiated masses of the European continent for a well-received debut tour of the new album.



HAMNSKIFTE - FÖDZLEPIJNAN (SPLATTER)

For fans of Earth, Skepticism and Nortt. Comes with 12"x24" full-colour insert. "This is gorgeously haunting slab of medieval droning slowcore mystery and abstract slow motion post rock dronescapery" ~Aquarius Records.

GOLDEN GRASS - GOLDEN GRASS (BLACK)
Black vinyl, ltd. to 500. With download coupon. The glory of American hard rock has returned with the debut eponymous album by THE GOLDEN GRASS! This Brooklyn-based power-trio is the real deal, and their LP harkens back to the golden age when heavy rock music was upbeat, skillfully played, energetic, edgy, and bursting with goodtime sunshine vibes. They come hard with a strong backbone of deep-pocket funky flare and an earnest/uplifting southern/country/mountain rock vibe, layered with waves of psychedelic textures that explode into jaw-dropping proto-metal moves. And throughout their progressive arrangements and timeless grooves are lush and powerfully delivered vocals, stacked with gorgeous harmonies and maddeningly catchy verses and choruses singing the tales of real-life loves, losses, and the drive to keep on keepin on! This album is a sure treat for fans of classic underground hard rock such as Truth and Janey, Dust, and Josefus as well as fans of classic UK psychedelia such as The Move, The Pretty Things, and Mighty Baby. THE GOLDEN GRASS will also greatly appeal to folks into the contemporary sounds of Danava, Horisont, Graveyard, and Dead Man.

KILLIMANJARO - HOOK
This LP offers a 36-mimute heavy metal trip, full of catchy riffs à la Iron Maiden, recorded by a Portuguese trio with its roots in the realms of stoner rock.

MAYHEM - ESOTERIC WARFARE (2LP/BLACK)
It has been seven long years since MAYHEM released their fourth and latest full-length Ordo ad Chao. Rejuvenated by the recruitment of Teloch (of NIDINGR fame) in replacement of iconic guitarist / composer Blasphemer who left the fold in 2008, the spearhead of Black Metal is back stronger than ever before with a new album. Esoteric Warfare demonstrates how perfectly Teloch has captured the essence and spirit of the Norwegian legend by linking the band back to its roots, while at the same time taking a step forward into the leading position of the genre instead of dwelling in nostalgia. Esoteric Warfare is a full-scale assault of total dark savagery, where Attila's inhumane vocals are entirely based on a concept dealing with the esoteric experimentations of the nuclear powers during the cold war. The album proves once again and beyond doubt that MAYHEM are the Alpha and the Omega of black metal!

MONOLITH DEATHCULT - TETRAGRAMMATON (2LP)
This vinyl edition includes 2 bonus tracks. (Remix + Live). Dutch death-dealers THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT deliver destruction with their latest album 'TETRAGRAMMATON'. A mighty assault of punishing riffs, vicious drum slaughter, and ridiculously brutal vocals, the album bears down on the listener like a tank from start to finish. TMDC prove their metal has more depth however with narration and ornamentation (synths, effects) straight out of vintage Hollywood action films. Rest assured, you've never heard brutal metal like this before.

NEGATIVE STANDARDS/WHITEHORSE - SPLIT
REDUCED PRICE - ALL COPIES HAVE DAMAGED JACKETS FROM TRANSIT! Two of the heaviest bands around team up for one ear damaging split. Australia's WHITEHORSE once more deliver ultrabrutal sludge/doom with one of the sickest vocalists around, think a sludgier Corrupted. NEGATIVE STANDARDS from the States are all over the place, mixing aggressive HC/power violence with mean sludge and even some black metal. Mastered by JAMES PLOTKIN with artwork by KEVIN GAN YUEN (Sutekh Hexen).

SEPTICFLESH - TITAN (2LP/BLACK)
'Titan' is the power of darkness made manifest in music. Guitarist Christos Antoniou, who passed his academic studies of classical composition with honours and distinction, already proved his prowess for orchestration with 'Communion' (2008) and 'The Great Mass' (2011). Yet on 'Titan', the musician shows a new level of maturity in his use of classical instruments within a metal context, hiring once again the services of the FILMharmonic Orchestra Prague. With Fotis Benardo's inhuman drum patterns and vocalist / bassist Seth "Siro" Anton's demonic growls coming straight from the Underworld, 'Titan' actually stands an otherworldly, godlike album.

VAINAJA - KADOTETUT (BLACK)
Limited 300 black vinyl. Vainaja is a three-headed metal band from Finland. Taking influences from early 90's death metal and doom, their debut album 'Kadotetut' is one of the heaviest records ever made in the Finnish language. Besides the crushing riffs and dark melodies, the album's concept is based on encrypted true events from the past.

WITCH MOUNTAIN - SOUTH OF SALEM (BLACK) (2LP)
Gatefold. Black vinyl, ltd. to 300.

Like your favourite horror movie, Druglord make you sick to your stomach, yet the thrill is in the fear and just like a horror flick, 'Enter Venus' is ultimately satisfying. Resistance is futile my friends." ~Aaron Pickford (Sludgelord).

TRAITORS RETURN TO EARTH - BETTING ON A FULL COLLAPSE
In 2011 Traitors Return to Earth released Smokescreen and received warm welcomes from the international doom scene as a result. This their sophomore effort, the much awaited Betting on a Full Collapse promised not to disappoint. While Smokescreen offered up critical observations of endless wars and of US foreign policy, Betting on a Full Collapse shifts its harsh critique toward the failing monetary policies of a rapidly growing world bank. The vinyl release will feature all original cover art from W. Ralph Walters, including an original Traitors Return to Earth themed comic book by W. Ralph Walters in every album as well as a download for the album plus two bonus tracks! Traitors doubled down on Betting, choosing once again to play all basic tracks live. The result is a very raw and personal experience that draws in the listener. Digging even deeper into the riff, Traitors have grown darker and more complex on Betting while still allowing for a certain diversity. "Betting On A Full Collapse is a brilliant album that I cannot rate highly enough. This is their best work to date and I hope there is more to come from these hugely talented sludge metallers... They might be great guys away from the band but once they are playing as a collective unit then they are true demonic force of nature. A dark and brooding unflinching ride of thrills and spills take this album into the realm of brilliance."



WOUNDED KINGS - CONSOLAMENTUM
Produced by Chris Fielding (Electric Wizard) and overcoming numerous line-ups since their formation in 2005, Mills and the KINGS have amazed audiences with their powerful stage personae. THE WOUNDED KINGS have a mystical and mythical quality which makes them an enormously appealing prospect," said Terrorizer Magazine of the bands summertime London performance. "THE WOUNDED KINGS sound is so organic that the room actually starts to feel damp and musty," notes Blabbermouth. The two-time Roadburn alumni are cherished by attendees and the popular festival promoters, who call the band "British doom of staggering power that is made all the more distinct by the unsettling presence of singer Sharie Neyland, who stands on stage almost trance-like, invoking her lyrics in a chanted voice that holds the entire venue in thrall." To date the Dartmoor-based five piece has released three full-length studio albums and a well received split album with Richmond, Virginias Cough. The band has been finding a growing American audience since the release of their 2011 album, In the Chapel Of The Black Hand. It is the first to feature the band's new vocalist; Neyland.

AMBUSH - FIRESTORM (BLACK)
'Firestorm' is released in a limited edition of 150 copies on black vinyl and presented in a heavy cardboard cover with a lyric sheet. The reservoir of Swedish metal bands seems to be just endless. Hot on the trails of High Roller recording artists Dead Lord, Humbucker and Heavy Tiger comes Ambush.

ANTICHRIST - (BLACK) FORBIDDEN WORLD
425gsm high gloss cardboard cover, cardboard insert, black vinyl. Antichrist are the new Thrash Metal sensation from Sweden. The band consists of Sven Nilsson (drums), Anton Sunesson (vocals), Gabriel Forslund (guitars), Filip Runesson (guitars) and Gobbe Hennigsson (bass). No other than Fenriz of Darkthrone fame named Antichrist "Band of the Week" for his popular internet column.



BEDROOM REHAB CORPORATION - RED OVER RED
BRC is a 2 piece band hailing from New London, CT. centered around hypnotic doom and gloom riffing and sludgy shoe-gaze soundscapes. Gathering influence from grunge, metal, hardcore, stoner rock and blues, the band are writing songs that are more than just the sum of these influences.

BLUE OYSTER CULT - SECRET TREATIES
Back in the days of hard rock and surrounded by fierce competitors with such great names as the Doors, Black Sabbath and the Rolling Stones, a band had to attract attention with far more than histrionic pathos, biker boogie, an adept lead guitarist and a sharp-tongued singer. The band Blue Oyster Cult founded on Long Island in 1971, possessed all this and much more, relating short scenarios in their lyrics, which conjured up peoples imagination. Rolling Stone magazine enthused that it was like listenin to Hitchcock and Kubrick swap stories about their wet dreams, and that the group mix aesthetics and ass-kicking rock to such good advantage. In their third studio album 'Secret Treaties' BOC reached the pinnacle of their musical evolution with such memorable songs as 'Career Of Evil', 'Subhuman' and 'Astronomy'. The lyrics have literary value but are certainly not intended for sensitive souls - the phrases are direct and intentionally drily articulated. The music is as blatant and extroverted as the lyrics: the guitar sound is steely and straightforward, occasionally padded out with a see-sawing Hammond groove, and topped again and again by wonderfully rough string solos that speak the language of hard, merciless and full-bodied rock.



CAPILLA ARDIENTE - (BLACK) BRAVERY, TRUTH AND THE ENDLESS DARKNESS
Edition on black vinyl with a gatefold cover and insert. Following the band's 12-inch EP, 'Solve Et Coagula', Capilla Ardiente's first longplayer consists of four epic apx. 10-minute compositions, an atmospheric instro and a haunting interlude. Capilla Ardiente (from Chile) is the brainchild of Claudio Botarro (bass) and Felipe Plaza (vocals), whon are joined by Julio Borquez (guitars) and Francisco Aguirre (drums). Botarro and Plaza also play with fellow doomsters Procession. However, there is a fundamental difference between Capilla Ardiente and Procession, neither of which is a mere side project but both are full-blown bands.

CAVE IN - SACRIFICE POLES
Long, long awaited vinyl pressing of a mid-period work from CAVE IN, originally released on CD in 2001 and out of print ever since. This one consists entirely of 4-track experimentations and choice instrumental jams. Aside from 'Brain Candle Waltz', all songs are exclusive to this release. Includes a download.



CLOVEN HOOF - RESIST OR SERVE (BLACK)
Though underrated during the heyday of the NWOBHM, CLOVEN HOOF through the years have become the stuff of legend. Their '82 debut EP nowadays changes hands for a small fortune, and their four following full lengths (including one live release) are also very collectable. Now Cloven Hoof return with a 2014 album, which is everything as good as their records from the '80s. This is an edition of 300 copies on black vinyl, presented in a heavy cardboard cover and including a lyric sheet and poster.



DESECRATOR - SUBSCONSCIOUS RELEASE
This raging death metal record originally came out in 1990, at the height of the death/thrash boom, but it may have been lost a little bit in the avalanche of releases that appeared back in the day. Nevertheless, this album is a good as any of the best UK death metal titles from back then, featuring an incredibly heavy sound, fantastic riffs and a gloomy edge. Desecrator only released this one album (apart from recording an even more obscure demo) and original copies go for silly money on eBay, so grab your chance to get this now!

DRIP - A PRESENTATION OF GRUESOME POLITICS
Washington State's THE DRIP roar onto the scene with a blasting EP of filthy, angry grind, produced and engineered by JOEL GRIND of TOXIC HOLOCAUST. An absolute must for fans of grind greats Napalm Death, Nasum and Rotten Sound, this is a relentlessly skull crushing record of pissed off, high energy, barbaric grind. This hate is timeless. The first pressing of the vinyl version comes with a totally sick etching on the B-side.



DYNAMITE - BLACKOUT STATION (BLACK)
Limited edition of 150 LP's on black vinyl, presented in a gatefold cover with an insert. There must be something in the water in Sweden (or in the beer for that matter). Or how else would you explain the sheer number of high quality metal acts having formed in the country over the last couple of years? Dynamite is another representative of that fertile scene, and a great one too!

EXODUS - (BLACK) BONDED BY BLOOD
Reissue of the band's 1985 debut-album. Edition on black vinyl, presented in a heavy cardboard cover, including lyric sheet and poster.

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE - AGONY (2LP)

This absolute masterworks comes housed in a special 3-D HANDMADE cover and printed inner sleeves.

Acclaimed in the USA after their extensive tours as well as in Europe, they just kick serious asses!

HOUSE OF LIGHTNING - LIGHTWORKER
From the mad-genius mind of HENRY WILSON comes an almost uncategorizable yet positively spiritual incorporation of heavy metal, thrash, bits of math, a sprinkle of prog, a pinch of 1984, and a dash of 5150. Sounds wild you say? That's because IT IS. 'Lightworker' is difficult to simply just pin a label onto, so you are better off hearing this one for yourself. All aboard the rocketship! Pressed on green vinyl.

TOXIC HOLOCAUST - EVIL NEVER DIES
Repress on yellow splatter vinyl. Edition of 666 copies.

CASTLE - SECOND COMING/LABYRINTH OF DEATH
Black virgin wax, printed innersleeves, limited to 500 copies. Castle often refer to themselves as witch thrash in interviews, the explanation being quite simple: "there's a definite thrash element to our music even when were playing at slower tempos.

And," Mat adds, "inspired by Tony Iommi, all but three Castle songs are in C# tuning."

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Compact Disc

Bedowyn's debut EP, "Wolves & Trees", released August 2013, has been met with critical acclaim from the metal community drawing comparisons to Mastodon, High on Fire, Sabbath, and early Metallica, and is a loud statement of what is to come. Bedowyn stands heavy and motivated, and ready to wander the world bringing their savage sounds to all.



BLACK HELL OIL - SMOKE YOU UP
Canadian loud ass riff rock. On their latest self-titled EP the band trudges through five furious and fuzzed-out heavy rockers. The EP starts out with the contagious rock anthem "Smoke You Up". Heaviness to the max as the guitar detunes into a gargantuan riff and then rips into a killer stoner rock frenzy. Steady and intense, the band incorporates a vintage seventies feel into their sound. The opening riff on "Rock and Roll Ain't the Same These Days" is absolutely bone-crushing! The EP ends on a high note with "Bring It On". A fast-paced riff-rock neck-snapper that ties the EP all together. For those of you that have lost hope, Black Hell Oil is proof that good rock music is alive and well."



BLACK SUMMER RAIN - BLACK SUMMER RAIN
Black Summer Rain is a whirlwind of melody driven guitar riffs, pounding lows and intense emotional lyrics. Sounds Like: Down, Black Sabbath, Black Label Society, Crowbar Band, Judas Priest.



MIDNITE HELLION - ENTER THE UNKNOWN

STONE MACHINE ELECTRIC - STONE MACHINE ELECTRIC
Stone Machine Electric are a band blending hard-hitting Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs with a great attitude to match. Stone Machine Electric are here to stir things up a bit. Sublime head-banging riffs with superb thought-provoking ideas to match. The album also has Kent Stump from brilliant Stoner Rockers - Wo Fat involved making this album sounds epic.

TWINGIANT - SIN NOMBRE
TwinGiant are back with their rifftastic new EP - Sin Nombre - A 5 track and 27-minute blast of hard-rocking riffs to rock out to. Nothing much has changed from their excellent debut. Just more of the same great TwinGiant magic that made me such a fan of their music in the first place.

OATH - THE OATH
To master the dark and wring compelling creativity from its densest shadows requires vision, belief and, perhaps most importantly, a dash of synchronicity. These are all qualities that ooze from every pore of the debut album by The Oath. A band forged around the fizzing, feral chemistry between Swedish guitarist Linnea Olsson and German vocalist Johanna Sadonis, The Oath represent the wild magic that erupts when two blazing souls collide and fate is sent veering off course by sheer strength of the human will. This is heavy metal at its most mercurial and intuitive. Veering from the strident grooves and shimmering menace of opener 'All Must Die' to the breakneck, Luciferian clatter of 'Black Rainbow' and on to the spine-tingling grandeur and grime of epic closer 'Psalm 7', The Oath is anything but just another addition to the modern pseudo-occult rock canon. Instead, it is an extraordinary glimpse into its creators overpowering charisma and chemistry and a thrillingly, hyper-nourishing dose of authentic, 21st century heavy metal sorcery. With input from In Solitude's Henke Palm - who contributes some improvised Voivod-style solos, according to Linnea, and logo designed courtesy of Watain's Erik Danielson, this is an album that exudes ageless style and irresistible substance: a potent antidote to the flimsy fripperies of the modern age.

EXPECTED - 2014.19



FU MANCHU - GIGANTOID
The year 2014 marks the release of Fu Manchu's first full-length in nearly five years. Edition on purple vinyl.

ACID WITCH/NUNSLAUGHTER - SPLIT 7"
The supremely tongue-in-cheek death metal band Nunslaughter have teamed with death-doomers Acid Witch for a split 7" due on the great Hell's Headbangers.

ZATH - BLACK GOAT RAZOR/PAIN REAPER
ZATH (pronounced as ZOTH) comprises Zack Weil (OOZING WOUND, CACAW), Seth Sher (SYNE, PSYCHIC STEEL, GA'AN) and Dan Browning (CAVE). Zath's songs are a bottomless well of incalculable feeling and influence (among which Judas Priest, '70s proto-metal, Kreator, Magma, Yes and Sodom are just a few), rendered with thrusting ability and immaculate precision. The writing process involves extensive use of Zath's riff log, compiled for years leading back into the mists of time.

GRAVES AT SEA - THIS PLACE IS POISON
Side A's 'This Place Is Poison' finds the all-consuming, slow-motion sludge for which the band is so synonymous flooding in with a torrent of crusted-over guitars anchored away by swampy bass rumbles and earth-rupturing drums all bathed in the howls and shrieks of the damned. But in shaking off their cobwebs, Graves At Sea have emerged reanimated with a heretofore unheard speed, at least when compared to their syrupy crawl of the past. On Side B, Black Sabbath's 'Orchid' and 'Lord Of This World' get bold re-imaginings. Limited to 1.000 copies and packaged with black inner sleeves, standard metallic gold on black jackets and one-sided metallic gold on black inserts. Includes a free download code.

STONE TITAN - PEACE, LOVE, AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE

BLOODY HAMMERS - UNDER SATAN'S SUN
Limited vinyl, gatefold sleeve. BLOODY HAMMERS, the band revolving around the charismatic mastermind Anders Manga, release their third album 'Under Satan's Sun' which follows once more the dark paths populated by sinister characters and spectral apparitions. Dark occult rock with a pinch of H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury is the main attraction of the show, when the master of ceremonies Anders Manga opens the gates to the netherworld. 'Under Satan's Sun' is a multilayered album that resembles a classic horror flick from the '70s. An album filled with charm, big refrains and a classy atmosphere.



DUST BOLT - AWAKE THE RIOT (2LP)
The German shooting stars are back with a vengeance! 'Awake The Riot' is the perfect example of how thrash metal should sound, and shows that DUST BOLT are already snapping at the heels of the Bay Area heroes. Highly explosive precision drumming, furious leads and solos plus fantastic riffs flying at the listener so intensely, that suffering from whiplash after the first spin of the album is guaranteed. 'Awake The Riot' is an aggressive rapid-fire riff barrage that will take no prisoners!



GORGUTS - COLORED SANDS (2LP)
New orange vinyl version limited to 500 copies. GORGUTS, long-running Canadian craftsmen of technical death metal have returned! After more than a decade of silence, mastermind Luc Lemay unleashes "Colored Sands", a new brand of pestilent fury featuring an all star line-up including John Longstreath (ORIGIN, SKINLESS), Colin Marston (BEHOLD THE ARCTOPUS) and Kevin Hufnagel (DYSRHYTHMIA). Few extreme bands have the pedigree of GORGUTS. During their early days as part of death metal's first wave, they created a legacy of legendary releases including their debut album "Considered Dead" (1991) and its follow-up "Erosion of Sanity" (1993). The latter witnessed the Canadians becoming more experimental and technical. After a hiatus of five years, Luc Lemay returned with a new line-up, which released the acclaimed third full-length "Obscura" (1998). By then GORGUTS had fully transformed into one of the most progressive and influential bands in extreme music, which remained impervious to trends, while expanding and redefining the language of death metal. With a new line-up that left Lemay as the sole original member, another milestone album was released. On "From Wisdom to Hate" (2001) the Quebecois successfully merged the brutal and more direct approach of their earlier albums with the complex arrangements of "Obscura". Just as GORGUTS seemed on the verge of making the first decade of the new century their own, the band was hit by business and personal issues and went on hiatus. Their musical legacy continued to inspire and thrive as their native Quebec became a focus for technical death metal with acts such as CRYPTOPSY, NEURAXIS and BEYOND CREATION to name but a few following in their footsteps. Now the masters are back to deliver the stunning masterpiece the metal world has been awaiting so long. Brace hard or get swept away by the mind blowing storm of "Colored Sands"!

IMPETIGO - ULTIMO MONDO CANNIBALE/FACELESS (2LP)

OSIRIS CLUB - BLAZING WORLD
Four years in the making, the debut album by London's The Osiris Club is finally here! Originally conceived as an instrumental project fusing horror movie soundtracks with avant-metal, the band has now morphed into a forbidding unit of musicians. Taking the best parts of 1970s progressivism, 1980s post-punk and 1990s extreme rock, they have created a genuinely new sound, radical and uncompromising yet still melodic and accessible. Guitarist Chris Fullard on the recording sessions: "We tracked at the renowned all-analogue Orgone Studios in London, then moved the session over to Seattle and began mixing at Avast studios with audio master Mr Randall Dunn, who has previously produced Sunn O))), Earth and Wolves In the Throne Room among others. Additional guest vocals were added there by Brad from Master Musicians Of Bukakke, The Accused.

SO HIDEOUS - LAST POEM/FIRST LIGHT
Hailing from NYC, SO HIDEOUS combines intense, blackened HC with orchestral elements to create a unique blend of music that has been called a "raging force of post-black metal, frothing with shoegaze and oozing with tortured melancholy." So Hideous formed in 2008 with the intention to make soundtracks for films that yet had to be produced. Expect throat searing chamber music and an orchestra of guitars, bass, drum and boss pedals.

MESSENGER - ILLUSORY BLUES (BLACK)
Gatefold, booklet, black vinyl. MESSENGER (UK) is a musical troupe from London formed in the spring of 2012 by Khaled Lowe and Barnaby Maddick. They booked a session with producer Jaime Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios that gave birth to their debut album, Illusory Blues: a cosmic ode to the forces of nature and the inevitable cycle of life. To cite musical influences would be futile. The musicians had made their names with bands in scenes as far apart as hardcore punk, black metal, and ambient music. Tonally, one might recall finding oneself in the same "space" occupied by other architects of sound such as Ulver, The Beatles, Swans, or Pink Floyd. But the stream of sound that emanates from the source of Illusory Blues is a heaving mass of organic richness, brimmed with intricate sounds that acknowledge the original fathers of experimentation but look forward in creating something new and unique. They dwell equally in the earthly realm of folk music and in the celestial void of progressive psychedelia, but have chanced upon a sound and an experience that sounds like no other.

GOLDEN GRASS - GOLDEN GRASS (BLACK)
Black vinyl, ltd. to 500. With download coupon. The glory of American hard rock has returned with the debut eponymous album by THE GOLDEN GRASS! This Brooklyn-based power-trio is the real deal, and their LP harkens back to the golden age when heavy rock music was upbeat, skillfully played, energetic, edgy, and bursting with goodtime sunshine vibes. They come hard with a strong backbone of deep-pocket funky flare and an earnest/uplifting southern/country/mountain rock vibe, layered with waves of psychedelic textures that explode into jaw-dropping proto-metal moves. And throughout their progressive arrangements and timeless grooves are lush and powerfully delivered vocals, stacked with gorgeous harmonies and maddeningly catchy verses and choruses singing the tales of real-life loves, losses, and the drive to keep on keepin on! This album is a sure treat for fans of classic underground hard rock such as Truth and Janey, Dust, and Josefus as well as fans of classic UK psychedelia such as The Move, The Pretty Things, and Mighty Baby. THE GOLDEN GRASS will also greatly appeal to folks into the contemporary sounds of Danava, Horisont, Graveyard, and Dead Man.



KILLIMANJARO - HOOK
This LP offers a 36-mimute heavy metal trip, full of catchy riffs à la Iron Maiden, recorded by a Portuguese trio with its roots in the realms of stoner rock.



MANTAR - DEATH BY BURNING (BLACK)
Gatefold, black vinyl version. Recorded earlier in 2013 and titled "Death By Burning", the album is a raw, self produced and 100% DIY display of power. The half German, half Turkish band has existed for less than a year and released one limited run 7" - probably sold out by the time you read this. MANTAR manages to sound heavier than most five piece bands you may know, in spite of the fact that no bass guitar was used on this record. Just drums and guitar set for destruction. Forget about Rock 'n Roll. This will hurt. Flogging beats and blackened melodies meet feedback orgies and doom mayhem. Early Melvins, Motorhead, Darkthrone. You name it. Don't call it sludge though. Everything as black as possible. A soundtrack for the final battle.



OLDE GROWTH - THE OWL
Two piece doom/sludge band Olde Growth return with their second release. This time they cut back on the sludge and go in a more psych direction ala Sungrazer. This album has been said to sound like Black Sabbath meets Queens of the Stone Age. There is a real attention to melody, harmony, and structure on The Owl that makes it as pleasing to the ear as any psychedelic inspired metal album you'll find this year. 200 copies Gold cover on Black Wax.



PENTAGRAM - (SPLATTER) IF THE WINDS WOULD CHANGE

YOB - THE GREAT CESSATION (2LP)
Stoughton gatefold jacket. A classic that rabidly demanded to be reprinted! This is the best fucking album Yob has done! Contains two bonus tracks not available on the CD version. Doom is meant to be dour and slow, but here it's also furious. The riffs, the vocals, the deliberate, pummeling rhythm (courtesy of Yob alumni Travis Foster on drums and bassist Aaron Reiseberg) - it seethes from start to finish, and as a statement of intent for 'The Great Cessation', you can't get any better. Black vinyl.

A cool title in the 10-inch split series with releases featuring an incarnation of Amenra, together with a sometimes surprising, but always compelling counterpart band. In this case Amenra, who contribute an atmospheric ambient piece called 'Trahn', are joined by Treha Sektori, the alter ego of French dark ambient and drone master Dehn Sora.



BEELZEFUZZ - BEELZEFUZZ
Limited vinyl issue. Beelzefuzz is a heavy rock trio from North East Maryland, formed in 2009. Having released a 4-song demo in 2010 they established a loyal fan base in the US, which eventually led to signing with Germany's Church Within Records in 2012. Beelzefuzz incorporates a very unique style of heavy music similar to the classic sounds of early '70s bands such as Uriah Heep, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, as well as contemporary groups à la Pentagram, Graveyard and Earthride. Still, Beelzefuzz remain decidely independent with their own personal brand of melodic heavy rock and the David Byron, John Lawton crossed with Mark Farner vocal stylings of singer and guitarist Dana Ortt shine through beautifully in songs such as 'Lotus Jam', 'All The Feeling Returns', 'Reborn' and the haunting 'Hypnotize'. Dana Ortt along with bassist Pug Kirby were joined by drummer Darin McCloskey (Pale Divine) in 2011 and entered the studio again to record a new four song demo.



BOSTON - LIFE, LOVE & HOPE (2LP)
Of 'LIFE, LOVE & HOPE', band leader Tom Scholz said, "These are all songs from the heart, each of them taking many months of effort to write, arrange, perform and record, always up to the demands of BOSTON's harshest critic, me. They have all been meticulously recorded to analogue tape on the same machines and equipment used for BOSTON's hits for the past 35 years." Boston is a staple of US Classic Rock Radio playlists. Boston's best-known works include the songs 'More Than a Feeling', 'Peace of Mind', 'Foreplay/Long Time', 'Rock And Roll Band', 'Smokin'', 'Don't Look Back' and 'Amanda'. They have sold over 31 million albums in the United States alone. Their self-titled debut holds the record for being the highest selling debut album in history and will likely never lose that distinction. This ROCK CLASSICS Deluxe vinyl version Features 2 BONUS TRACKS not on the FRONTIERS CD version. SIDE A: 1. Heaven On Earth 2. Didn't Mean To Fall In Love 3. Last Day Of School SIDE B 4. Sail Away 5.

BURZUM - THE WAYS OF YORE (2LP)
'The Ways Of Yore' is BURZUM's 12th album, and it showcases a similar style as Burzum's previous ambient albums, though there is a difference in the vocal expression. The combination of haunting story telling channeled through those typical vocals, combined with Burzum's musical genius,l resulted in a very interesting and innovative work.

HELL, THE - GROOVEHAMMER
UK's THE HELL have been raising eyebrows and wrecking havoc in the HC scene with the release of their critically acclaimed and despised debut album 'You're Listening To The Hell'. Featuring "big riffs, memorable hooks and enough shout-along moments to guarantee pandemonium at any gig" (according to Metal Hammer) 'Groovehammer' was self-recorded, mixed and mastered at Titan Studios in Watford, UK and features thirteen venomous, in-your-face HC-anthems.



SLEGEST - LOYNDOM
Slegest came to life when Ese left the band Vreid in 2010, where he played guitar on four albums. For Slegest, Ese wanted to use his Black Sabbath-influences and combine these with harsh vocals. This resulted in a special blend of classic heavy rock and old-school black metal elements, creating a dark and sinister sound combined with lots of groove. The self-titled Slegest debut-EP was released in 2012 and got very good feedback from the metal scene. Shortly thereafter Ese started working on his debut album, resulting in the release of 'Loyndom'. With 'Loyndom' Slegest takes its original sound one step further, without losing any of the dirtiness or catchy grooves. Apart from playing all the instruments (except a guest solo from his former band mate Sture), Ese also recorded and mixed most of the album himself. Slegest's combination of heavy and classic hard rock with old-school mid-paced black metal is a crushing experience, and fans of heavy and groovy extreme metal wont be disappointed.

WHEN NOTHING REMAINS - AS ALL TORN ASUNDER (2LP)
The debut-album of the project founded by members of famous Swedish band NOX AUREA. 'As All Torn Asunder' is 70 minutes of refined melodic doom death metal carefully composed by musicians who put their souls into every part of this masterpiece. This album is sure to please fans of modern doom death metal in the vein of Nox Aurea, Ablaze In Hatred, Swallow The Sun and Draconian.

WHEN NOTHING REMAINS - THY DARK SERENITY (2LP)
Their second album is highly anticipated by fans of this Swedish group and melodic doom death metal in general! For those who are not familiar with WHEN NOTHING REMAINS, this album may appear as a real discovery, while for those who are already inspired by their music 'The Dark Serenity' will become another blissful touch to the soul and the heart.

SATAN'S SATYRS - DIE SCREAMING (UK)
Something sinister is looming in the mist - a ghastly three-headed apparition, equal parts riffage and rancour and fuelled by a steady diet of garage rock 7-inches played at 33RPM and horror movies watched at 5AM, the primeval force of Satan's Satyrs is returned to the earth to lay waste to everything in its path. Rising from the primordial ooze of Herndon, Virginia Satan's Satyrs hit the metal underground like a tidal wave of sulphur with their debut proper, 2012's 'Wild Beyond Belief'. This almighty assault, almost entirely the work of chief Satyr Clayton Burgess, was a harrowing blast of fuzz-drenched aggro - a clash of Venom-esque metalpunk squalor and in-the-red garage-rock dementia. This time around, the band set about expanding their sound, maintaining their trash-obsessed aesthetic whilst sharpening their songcraft to produce an album possessed of both mighty heaviosity and incisive hooks. Bolstered by roaring Hammond and percussive ornamentation that bring still more Hammer Horror atmosphere to the fray, 'Die Screaming' transcends the band's Black Sabbath, Stooges and Black Flag influences to arrive at a relentlessly gory and gung-ho assault on the senses. One minute, this terror-troupe are dishing out the rotten rock n'roll of 'One By One (They Die)' and 'Curse Of The Corpse', which stalk the Earth like the reanimated corpses of Budgie and Blue Oyster Cult records past. The next, on the jaw-dropping title-track, they're throwing Death SS, the Alice Cooper of 'Sick Things' and Scott Reagers-era Saint Vitus into a bubbling cauldron and standing well back. Yet at all times Satan's Satyrs gonzo attack is authentically red in both tooth and claw.



BARBARIAN - FAITH EXTINGUISHER
Their 2012 split with BUNKER 66 predicted a change in approach, a direction which they continue here. Nevertheless, the seven tracks on 'Faith Extinguisher' are still 666% pure BARBARIAN. This album is a sermon of allegiance to ALL things metal the '80s way.

EXPECTED - 2014.21

BURY TOMORROW - RUNES (BLACK) (2LP)
BURY TOMORROW's debut album 'Portraits' was a prime example of how metalcore should be played, showing flashes of brilliance usually expected from bands far older and more experienced. With equal emphasis on heaviness and melody, they have forged a sound that is as crushing as it is catchy. Their melodies are rich and soaring, guitarist Jason Cameron's husky singing tones invoking the classic '80s Stadium Rock vibe, whilst frontman Danis monstrous roars and energy coupled with the water-tight riffs of the band make for a salivating prospect. Double-LP edition on black vinyl!

The result is a very emotional and above all very personal album, that leads back to the roots of the band, without neglecting the bombast of the previous two records. Melodic metal, powerful yet playful, heavy but emotional, inspired but independent.



GLASSJAW - WORSHIP AND TRIBUTE

Enter 2014, the 34th year of the band's existence marks another milestone for OVERKILL: the 17th album, 'White Devil Armory'.

PROFETUS - AS ALL SEASONS DIE (BLACK)
Gatefold sleeve. Black vinyl, ltd. to 300 copies. Third album by Finnish funeral doom band Profetus.



RIPPIKOULU - MUSTA SEREMONIA (BLACK)
This album is one of the best kept secrets in the Finnish underground metal scene. It is also the very first death metal recording with lyrics spat out in the Finnish language. Rippikoulu began their musical endeavours back in the late eighties, and like so many of their contemporaries, evolved from primitive punk noise to death metal. However, while many bands played death metal with groovy riffing and overall headbanging attitude, Rippikoulu's choice of style was darker. Their downtuned metal is bleak and nearly unbearably heavy in its execution, dark and soul-searching in its themes, intertwining faster bursts of chaos with slow, doomy passages. Rippikoulu released the Musta Seremonia demo album on tape in 1993 and then disappeared. They never gained much popularity in their time, but their legacy has steadily grown in time. Countless metal fans worldwide have adored their shoddy bootleg copies of the Musta Seremonia tape - now the stars are finally right for a legitimate re-release. The album has been remastered from the original DAT master tape, cleaned up and amplified. Two separate masters were created, a louder, bass-heavy one for the CD and a more vintage sounding one for the vinyl edition. So, the new decade begins with the unleashing of this shadowy beast upon the planet. It comes forth in gatefold vinyl.

RIPPOUKULU - ULVAJA (BLACK)

Having released two well-received LPs via the Nuclear War Now label, including 2011's outstanding and underrated' Church Of Death', Swedish band VANHELGD makes a big leap in production quality on 'Relics Of Sulphur Salvation'. These eight complex and memorable songs strike with an urgent ferocity not seen in other so-called "boundary-pushing" or "progressive" releases in recent memory. Vanhelgd's natural skill for crafting monumental death metal songs suggests early At The Gates, Entombed, and even elements of My Dying Bride.



VISCERA - CYCLOPS

SCYTHIA - ...OF CONQUEST
Scythia's fourth release is a powerful concept album that draws influences from folk metal, power metal, melodic death metal, and progressive rock.

SCYTHIA - ...OF WAR
"Odin-approved one-two punch of "Fierce Riders of Scythia" and "The Black Death" that kicks off '...Of War,' - Decibel Magazine - This Record Rules Feature.

The music is adventurous, creative, and epic." - MetalUnderground.com. "I really enjoyed the first single, "Fierce Riders Of Scythia" and I found myself immediately drawn into their world and once there, did not want to leave. The fascinating blend of metal and Russian/Middle Eastern folk music is quite surprising and exceptionally good." - PureGrainAudio. "Tracks like "The Black Death" and "Warrior's Anthem" serve as vast soundscapes versus standard metal tunes, that firmly place Scythia as a band of gypsy minstrels in this renaissance period of swashbuckling tales of swordplay. " - Metal-Rules.com



SCYTHIA - FOR THE BEAR
The intention of this EP was to capture Scythia as they sound live. They have chosen to abandon fancy post-production sound effects and extensive guest musicians in favour of capturing the energy and excitement of these compositions.

These tracks have been re-recorded and re-mixed to capture the mood and intensity of Scythia's current line-up.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Compact Disc

ATLAS MOTH - THE OLD BELIEVER
Chicago's THE ATLAS MOTH has always been hard to categorize. Drawing from a myriad of influences and styles, their sound is one of the most unique and unusual in today's American underground scene. The main ingredients often include progressive and psychedelic metal, both crushingly heavy and sublimely beautiful. On their third full-length release, The Atlas Moth unleash their most glorious and emotionally riveting work yet. 'The Old Believer' exceeds all previous efforts on the strength of its unparalleled songwriting and focused presentation.



BENEATH THE STORM - TEMPLES OF DOOM
BENEATH THE STORM is a mysterious one-man sludge wrecking machine from Sloveina featuring Igor Shimon. His aim is to create the most brutal and slowest sound possible. Influences come from genres such as sludge, doom, funeral doom, stoner and drone. 'Temples Of Doom' is manufactured in an edition of 300 CD and presented in a digisleeve. Recommended to fans of a.o. AHAB, ELECTRIC WIZARD, EYEHATEGOD and NOOTHGRUSH.



DIFLEGER - DREAMCATCHER
Influenced by artists such as AmenRa, Rosetta and Lustmord, DIFLEGER (from Minsk, Belarus) combines experimental tunes, meditational elements, massive walls of distorted guitars, samples and other instruments, resulting in a unique post-metal assault. The album 'Dreamcatcher' (digitally self-produced by the band in 2013) is now available on CD. This edition of 300 copies comes with two previously unreleased bonus tracks and is presented in a digisleeve.



FROM OCEANS TO AUTUMN - A PERFECT DAWN
FROM OCEANS TO AUTUMN was founded by Brandon Helms (guitars, samples) in the summer of 2006, shortly after laying to rest his previous band, Autumn Is Forever, which had a long run between 1997 and 2004. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, From Oceans To Autumn create an intriguing and massive style of "space metal", rooted in "atmospheric/post-metal/rock". So far, the band's discography is comprised of two full lengths, a split EP and two concept albums on Silber Media Records. 'A Perfect Dawn', released in a limited edition CD with digisleeve, presents the band at its best, with tons of guitars, bass, drums and even some piano, resulting in surprisingly melodic and epic atmospheres. Recommended to fans of f.i. ISIS, ROSETTA and CULT OF LUNA.



HOLLOW LEG - INSTINCT
U.S. sludge monsters HOLLOW LEG re-release their album 'Instinct' under the flag of ARGONAUTA Records. The band, a duo now quartet, is an enormously toned groove engine hailing from the highways between Deland and Jacksonville, Florida. Their first full length, 'Instinct', as a duo of guitar and drums from late 2010 and released independently (now completely sold-out), was an action blown forth by their inherent and creative strengths housed within its lyrics and riffs. Since their incarnation as a duo, Hollow Leg has held live performances akin to Sleep and Eyehategod cooperatively steering a runaway freight train through the center of a volcano. 'Instinct' is now again available for a full new life. A massive assault of slow head-banging music!

HOWLING WIND - VORTEX
The Howling Wind, a duo featuring Ryan Lipynsky (Unearthly Trance, Serpentine Path) and Tim Call (Aldebaran), present their fourth album, the follow up to their critically-acclaimed full-length 'Of Babylon'.

There are nine songs in total, including a cover of 'Reapers Of Satan', originally by Swedish black metal band WAR. The CD is presented in a 6-panel digipak and is limited to 500 copies.



MY GRANDE FINALE - OCEAN HEART
MY GRANDE FINALE started as a DIY solo project by Markus Grönfors from Tampere, Finland. His full-length 'Ocean Heart' is presented in a digisleeve and limited to 300 copies. This work is recommended to fans of a.o. PELICAN, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU, YEAR OF NO LIGHT and GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT.



POSEIDON (RUSSIA) - INFINITY
Though the earliest outings from Russian band Poseidon could be described as "extreme progressive metal" and "sludge influenced post-metal", 2014's 'Infinity' also adds some serious cinematographic and avant-garde qualities. The result is an original wall of sound, reminding of the aggressive tunes of THE OCEAN and the theatrical vibe of VED BUENS ENDE.



SHABDA - TUMMO
This trio from Northern Italy crafts meditative, repetitive sounds, with the aim to fuse Indian music, doom metal and minimalism into a trance inducing, often somber droning ritual. Their first record, 'The Electric Bodhisattva', was released in 2013 by Paradigms Recordings. This 2014 follow-up focuses on kundalini alchemy by means of deep guitar tunes, microtonal intervals and ritual documents recorded in Varanasi, Sarnath and Amber.

SUTEKH HEXEN - MONUMENT OF DECAY
Now also on CD! Another unrelenting hellish black maelstrom from Sutekh Hexen. This 2013 release was recorded with a more fully formed line-up and more orthodox instrumentation, including vocals/effects, dual guitars and live percussion. The original EP contains four tracks, this issue also includes ten additional minutes of bonus dystopia.



VARIOUS - TLILTIC TLAPOYAUAK (2CD)
Compilation of bands related to the Black Twilight Circle. The package is a 6-panel gatefold with a 20-page booklet, 5-colour printing and includes 2 CDs. This just reaffirms why The Black Twilight Circle (a group of predominantly Mexican/Guatemalan underground musicians/artists and their bands located throughout southern California) are the most important thing in black metal today. It's amazing to see the growth in the returning bands - Arizmenda's track might just be the best thing they've ever done. Axeman's song could be one of the best black metal songs EVER. Even the newer bands manage to pull their own weight. Kampilan rocks the foundation with their thundering brand of filthy death/doom while In Lakech Ala Kin triumphantly represent the disturbed brand of atmospheric black metal The Black Twilight Circle has become known for. Seriously, any and every black metal fan needs to get their hands ALL OVER THIS. Hopefully, this is a prelude to a whole slew of releases from this enigmatic group of bands, and if it is, the underground has a lot to look forward to.

Catapult The Dead hails from the bleak and fearsome depths of the East Bay Tarpits. Their album 'All Is Sorrow' is a keyboard and organ-driven doom metal affair, something you do not normally witness in the world of doom, normally centered on loud and monolithic guitars and crushing drums. It's Gothic and almost baroque and has set the band completely apart from the rest when it comes to atmospheric sludge metal and post-HC. - CVLTNATION. 'All Is Sorrow' is one 37-minute opus, intended to be listened to without any interruptions.



CONAN - MONNOS
Conan are as heavy as interplanetary thunder amplified through the roaring black hole anus of Azathoth. A three piece, in the grand tradition of many amazing fabulous three pieces that hold a tight line and an iron-grip command over the uber-synchronised chord changes and tempo-shifts of the holy trio of bass, drums and guitar. Two men have the task of vocalising wretched thoughts over the turgid weight of Conan. They bear it well, for the task is immense. Conan have committed their filthy, ocean-sized sound to wax (and the slightly less cvlt compact disc) twice thus far- with more fetid output always on the horizon. First came the hulking mass of debut album Horseback Battle Hammer (Throne, Aurora Borealis), followed by a split with like-minded sludge-lords, Slomatics (Head of Crom, Burning World). In December 2011 Conan returned to the remote wilderness of Foel Studio, Wales and into the capable hands of producer Chris Fielding for their next album which is to be released on Burning World Records in Spring 2012. The vinyl version of Monnos will be presented at the prestigous Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Holland were Conan will perform.

OMMADON - V (2LP)
This LP is recommended to fans of a.o. Sunn O))), Electric Wizard and Conan. The downtuned demonic dynamic duo known as Ommadon lurch forth from their slumber to lay waste to the world of man once more. They maketh the earth shake, the skies blacken and the seas boil with their searing, scalding ur-doom sound. Ommadon is a two headed beast of doom and you will bow down before its four eyes.



ONSLAUGHT - (BLACK) POWER FROM HELL
Black vinyl, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, lyric sheet, poster. Simple truth no. 1: There are classic albums that simply must be available. Always. On vinyl, of course. That truly accounts for the first full-length album by legendary U.K.-thrashers Onslaught, whose debut from 1985 is counted among the most influential cult classics of the nascent thrash metal scene. Onslaught first started out as a punk outfit, heavily influenced by bands like Discharge and G.B.H. on the one hand, and more metallic acts such as Motorhead , Exodus, Slayer and Venom on the other hand. "Power From Hell" does not betray these roots, being as filthy, mean and aggressive as it gets. On this early release raw punk riffing meets satanic evilness, while Paul Mahoney delivers strangled vocals that come straight from the hellish depths of your local squats manky cellar, totally reflecting the spirit of a time when music was not labelled but lived. Seen from the perspective of metal history, "Power From Hell" is all the more important for another reason: It was here that founding member Nige Rocket coined the term "Death Metal" for the very first time. Anyone objecting to this shall be remembered that Possessed recorded "Seven Churches" a month after the release of "Power from Hell"!

SERPENTINE PATH - EMANATIONS
'Emanations' is the sophomore album from NYC doom super group SERPENTINE PATH. The band's 2012 self-titled debut was a boldly grim statement of unforgiving misanthropy that referenced both the filthy riffs of Autopsy and the stoney doom of Sleep. Now officially augmented by second guitarist STEPHEN FLAM, the mastermind behind NYC doom/death legends WINTER, Serpentine Path are truly a heavy metal all-star team (the band also features current and former members of doom legends ELECTRIC WIZARD, UNEARTHLY TRANCE, and RAMESSES). Sure, the pedigree is undeniable, but regardless of their 'members of' status, SERPENTINE PATH are one of the heaviest bands on the planet today, and one of the very best in the genre!



TERRAFORMER - CREATURES
'Creatures' is the second full album by the Belgian trio. Like the previous album, 'The Sea Shaper', this is also a co-production between dunk!records and Revolvermann Records. This time also Emotionally Unstable Records joins the party. The album is released on vinyl only. Of course in a beautiful designed cover, black inner sleeve and 180g clear vinyl or black splatter on clear vinyl. Then we haven't even talked about the music yet! Or, just check it out yourself.

TOMBS - SAVAGE GOLD (2LP)
Tombs' third full-length, 'Savage Gold', focuses the awesome strength of the band's previous works into one brilliantly dark post-punk and extreme black-metal masterpiece. Recorded and produced by Hate Eternal's ERIK RUTAN (Cannibal Corpse, Goatwhore), 'Savage Gold' expands upon the moody post-punk foundations that Tombs' previous albums explored while also bringing out the band's most traditional metal moments yet. Once every few years a record comes along that sets a new benchmark for what can be done in heavy music. This is that moment and this is that record.

Limited edition of 250 copies on 160-gram black vinyl, presented in a poly bag and including an illustrated, hand-numbered booklet and digital download. Catapult The Dead hails from the bleak and fearsome depths of the East Bay Tarpits. Their album 'All Is Sorrow' is a keyboard and organ-driven doom metal affair, something you do not normally witness in the world of doom, normally centered on loud and monolithic guitars and crushing drums. It's Gothic and almost baroque and has set the band completely apart from the rest when it comes to atmospheric sludge metal and post-HC. - CVLTNATION. 'All Is Sorrow' is one 37-minute opus, intended to be listened to without any interruptions.



CONAN - MONNOS
Conan are as heavy as interplanetary thunder amplified through the roaring black hole anus of Azathoth. A three piece, in the grand tradition of many amazing fabulous three pieces that hold a tight line and an iron-grip command over the uber-synchronised chord changes and tempo-shifts of the holy trio of bass, drums and guitar. Two men have the task of vocalising wretched thoughts over the turgid weight of Conan. They bear it well, for the task is immense. Conan have committed their filthy, ocean-sized sound to wax (and the slightly less cvlt compact disc) twice thus far- with more fetid output always on the horizon. First came the hulking mass of debut album Horseback Battle Hammer (Throne, Aurora Borealis), followed by a split with like-minded sludge-lords, Slomatics (Head of Crom, Burning World). In December 2011 Conan returned to the remote wilderness of Foel Studio, Wales and into the capable hands of producer Chris Fielding for their next album which is to be released on Burning World Records in Spring 2012. The vinyl version of Monnos will be presented at the prestigous Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Holland were Conan will perform.

BLOODY HAMMERS - UNDER SATAN'S SUN
Limited vinyl, gatefold sleeve. BLOODY HAMMERS, the band revolving around the charismatic mastermind Anders Manga, release their third album 'Under Satan's Sun' which follows once more the dark paths populated by sinister characters and spectral apparitions. Dark occult rock with a pinch of H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury is the main attraction of the show, when the master of ceremonies Anders Manga opens the gates to the netherworld. 'Under Satan's Sun' is a multilayered album that resembles a classic horror flick from the '70s. An album filled with charm, big refrains and a classy atmosphere.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Compact Disc



CROSS VAULT - (DIGI) SPECTRES OF REVOCABLE LOSS
Collectors Edition in Digipack (ltd. 1000), incl. poster-booklet. If the name WARNING (UK) as a main influence rings any bells, and you're of the opinion that CLASSIC DOOM METAL should first and foremost be slow, harmonious, sorrowful and crushing, yet never tiring, boring, repetitive or lacking in variety; that the most important ingredients are masterful songwriting, flawless musicianship and an unreal (really! we're in awe) vocal performance, then this is THE Doom Metal album you should write on top of your to-buy-list for 2014! The album includes 5 own compositions that focus on the subject of loss, as well as a cover of the WARNING (UK)-track "Footprints" which quite honestly sounds as if it belongs on this album.



PURPLE HILL WITCH - PURPLE HILL WITCH
Purple Hill Witch was summoned out of the Norwegian countryside about three years ago. The young trio (who's members also play in Spectral Haze, Condor and Flight) are heavily influenced by bands such as Pentagram, Witchfinder General and Black Sabbath, complimented by the filthiness of old heavy- and thrash-metal bands from the '70s and '80s. Following the debut 7-inch 'Alchemy', this is the band's first full length album.



RIBERA, MANNY - MANNY RIBERA
Coming from different backgrounds of rock, the members of MANNY RIBERA form an entity capable of delivering the grooves and big sound of the seventies, coupled with the melodic eighties, screaming through the grunge and metal of the nineties and landing in the heavy stoner rock from the new millennium. Combining these elements, a big, dynamic and refreshingly raw sound is delivered right into your spinal cord. It starts rocking your caveman genes, making it impossible not to put your chin out and grow beard whilst banging your head. That's what MANNY RIBERA is all about, having the time of their lives.



SAOR - AURA (DIGI)
Saor, meaning "Free" in Scottish and Irish Gaelic, is a one-man Atmospheric Celtic Metal band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed in 2012 by Andy Marshall. Saors sound is a blend of styles influenced by Scottish Folk, Atmospheric Black Metal and Post-Rock, using traditional Celtic Folk instruments such as Tin Whistle, Bagpipes and Bodhran together with the raw power and emotion of Black Metal and atmospheric elements of Post-Rock. Lyrically, Saor deals with themes such as Scottish heritage, Highland nature/landscapes and sorrow, influenced by a deep connection to the Scottish Highlands and its culture and history. As well as composing original lyrics, some are derived from the works of famous Scottish poets. The CD comes as collectors edition in 6-page digipack, limited to 1000 copies.



WOODS OF DESOLATION - (JEWEL) TOWARD THE DEPTHS
JEWEL case version. Everyone who discovered Woods Of Desolation only with the brilliant "Torn Beyond Reason" now has the chance to check out their excellent debut album as well. The original press of the CD, which was limited to a mere 500 copies, sold out quickly and is now a much sought-after collectors item. The same goes for the 300-copies vinyl edition. While the music may be harsher than "Torn Beyond Reason", the desolation their band name implies, as well as the melancholy and beauty of their most recent album, are also very much apparent in "Toward The Depths", and so the album comes highly recommended for Depressive Black Metal-junkies in general and all W.O.D. fans in particular.

EXPECTED - 2014.25

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Single (7")



AMULET - CUT THE CRAP
Five-piece AMULET is inspired by the golden-era of heavy metal and hard rock, but they add a focused and slightly doomy, riff-heavy sound of their own. Expect short songs with catchy vocals, heavy riffs, soaring leads and bone-shaking bass, driven to the limit with pounding drums. A sound that fits somewhere after "classic" BLACK SABBATH, but before METALLICA's scene-defining debut.



CC COMPANY - RED BARON
Three tracks from CC COMPANY. Side A of this 7-inch contains 'Death Death Death', the AA-side offers 'The Snake' and 'Out Of Here'.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Maxi Single



MOURNFUL CONGREGATION - CONCRESCENCE OF THE SOPHIA
'Concrescence Of The Sophia' opens with its more-than-20-minute title track, where "the weight of all waters, and the mass of all stars" exacts a heavy toll in the timeless pursuit of mystical knowledge. The monumental main riff onerously gives foundation to DAMON GOOD's ardently howling leads and sepulchral lament, while acoustic interludes offer only temporary respite to doom's forgone conclusion. B-side 'Silence Of The Passed', clocking in at a mere nine minutes, foretells how vast is the agency of doom.

ETERNITY - ETERNITY
Originally recorded in 1979-'80 and released on a private label in 1981, many of the songs on Eternity's s/t LP originate from an earlier period in the '70s, giving this basement hard rock release an "out of time" quality. Led by the confidant vocals of Wallace Stoneking and the "human-riff" creativity of Frank Monroe, Eternity created a groove-oriented, no frills brand of hard rock, capturing the flair of their heroes existing a decade prior. This set is sure to please fans of '70s proto-stoner, hard-rock, "out of time" private press treasures, and your uncle who still drives that 72 Camaro. For fans of Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, Nazca Line, Led Zep, Magi, Leaf Hound and Stagefright. 24-Bit Remastering. Includes one bonus track taken from a non-LP 45.

The record features a cover of Joan Baez's "Diamonds & Rust", a track that would become a live favourite from then onwards. The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. One of the bonus tracks "Race With The Devil" was at first intended to take the place of "Diamonds & Rust" but their producer, Roger Glover (of Deep Purple fame), wanted them to switch to "Diamonds & Rust", saying that "It would fit along with the rest of the album better."

This American Metal outfit create concise, catchy, and caustic anthems to anti-religion and supernatural horror, combining the best and most belligerent elements of death metal and HC punk.

SOLSTAFIR - OTTA (2LP/BLACK)
Double-LP edition on black vinyl. SOLSTAFIR are different. Their unique blend of metal with beautiful melodies, psychedelic moments and a strong undercurrent of classic/hard-rock comes as varied and at times appealingly bizarre as the landscapes of their native Iceland. Their fifth full-length 'Otta' is the logical continuation of the musical course this four-piece adopted on the highly acclaimed forerunner 'Svartir Sandar' (2011). Expect the unexpected, such as seduction by subtle strings or a hypnotic banjo.

Recommended if you like ENSLAVED, BARONESS, MASTODON, AGALLOCH, LONGDISTANCECALLING, PRIMORDIAL...

EARTH - HEX (OR PRINTING IN THE INFERNAL METHOD) (2LP)
Repress on orange vinyl. The fifth official studio album from the legendary Seattle group EARTH, and their first new studio album in nine years. Joined by new permanent member ADRIENNE DAVIES on drums and percussion, longtime group leader DYLAN CARLSON delivers an intensely powerful album that defies the normal restrictions of a definable genre. Nine tracks that channel the band's monolithic sound in different directions concentrating on guitar tone exploration via compression, echo, tremolo and reverb. INCLUDES A BONUS TRACK NOT FEATURED ON THE CD version, and special gatefold sleeve packaging with different artwork.



EARTH - THE BEES MADE HONEY IN THE LION'S SKULL (2LP)
Repress on orange vinyl. With 'The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull', Earth continues the evolution of their rebirth by taking the sparse, arid sound of Hex and building it up and fleshing it out. Carlson and longtime drummer Adrienne Davies are joined by guitarist Bill Frisell, organist Steve Moore, and bassist Don McGreevy, and the expanded band creates a more lush, less bleak sound. This layered approach to The Bees Made Honey... allows for a stronger undercurrent of melody and yet it still retains the minimalistic execution of 'Hex'. It's like looking into a pool of water and being unable to gauge its depth."

EARTHLESS - FROM THE AGES (2LP)
New european pressing of Earthless latest album "from the ages" Limited to 500 copies on orange vinyl. Their first new studio album since 2007's 'rhythms from a cosmic sky'. Formed in 2001, EARTHLESS prides itself on creating energetic, free thinking instrumental music inspired by an eclectic mix of German krautrock and Japanese heavy blues-rock. The Californian trio has dedicated itself to mastery of the mind-bending jam session, evoking the spirits of Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath in equal measure. EARTHLESS' sound has been called "A sonic kaleidoscope of lava and lightning," earning it the title of "California's loudest band." The group delivers "one of the best live shows in all of modern, heavy rock," leading to one reviewer stating that the band's "epic shredding harkens back to the days were psychedelic rock had balls the size of grapefruits and wasn't afraid to take its listeners on a ride for which they may never return." From The Ages promises more of the gigantic riffs and utterly unique heavy music that only EARTHLESS can create!

HORNSS - NO BLOOD NO SYMPATHY
EXCLUSIVE CLEAR SPOT COLOUR FOR THE VINYL VERSION. The stoner-thrashing three-piece make their debut with No Blood No Sympathy, a full-length that takes great and efficient pleasure in crossing the line between heavy rock and metal over the course of its nine-songs/28-minutes, cuts like "Troubled Rose" metering rolling groove with gnarled-distortion even as the later "Debreeding" portrays the crossover punk roots of early thrash with a modern twist of fuzz and satisfying runs of bass. Guitarist/vocalist Mike Moracha and bassist/vocalist Nick Nava hail from the desert punker outfit Solarfeast, whose Brant Bjork-produced debut, Gossamer, proved ahead of its time in its blend of heavier punk and hairier tones, and joined here by drummer Bil Bowman, they charge through a crust-laden half-hour of power, somehow making a fluid course from the jam-room stonerisms of "War Gods of the Deep" to the metallic push of "Debreeding."



OM - PILGRIMAGE
Repress. Three songs featuring OM's (AL CISNEROS and CHRIS HAKIUS of the legendary SLEEP) unique use of riff, cadence and chant comprise the duo's new album Pilgrimage.

Engineered by STEVE ALBINI and produced by the band, the motifs that were initiated on their previous two album are continued here unabated. Deluxe gatefold sleeve.

SLEEP - DOPESMOKER (2LP/CLEAR GREEN)

PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE/STONER/SPACEROCK - LP (Album)



EGYPT - EGYPT
Its laid back stoner jams convey the arid desert of the Sahara. Sabbath (duh) dutifully rears its head amongst the influences, but not to the point where youre hearing duplicate riffs exported from the 70s. There's also a more straightforward Hawkwind and classic Deep Purple style to the album, as if Geezer had replaced Lemmy and the whole gang went on a shrooms bender, meeting up with Ritchie Blackmore later on for a couple of pints. Obviously, this is good stuff, and worth seeking out if youre looking for something to jumpstart your love of good ol' heavy bluesy doom rock.

KADAVAR - LIVE IN ANTWERP (2LP/BLACK)
Recorded live in Antwerp. Heavy blues-rock, awesomely loud minor-key dirges and Geezer Butler-esque pressure roll bass lines create a paean to the dark mesmerizing power of the distorted blues.



LECHEROUS GAZE - ZETA RETICULI BLUES
California's LECHEROUS GAZE was formed in 2010 by former Annihilation Time members, guitarist Graham Clise, bassist Chris Grande, and drummer Noel Sullivan. Inspired by Chuck Berry, The Damned and much in between, LECHEROUS GAZE play in their own words "Psycho-delic, shred-tastic, ultra-hyphened, rock-punk heavy jams." It's it punked-up, psychedelic-tinged rock and roll, a smash-up of '60s and '70s hard rock, punk and metal influences (think: MC5 to Black Sabbath to AC/DC to The Ramones), fast and to the point. Recorded at Earhammer Studios (High On Fire, Hot Lunch), 'Zeta Reticuli Blues' delivers ten memorable tracks that showcase the sizzling six-string sonics of Graham Clise (also of Witch), the band's Sabbath-tight rhythm section, and the sneering snarl of vocalist Zaryan Zaidi. LECHEROUS GAZE play old-school, no-bullshit, in-your-face, maximum-impact ROCK.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Maxi Single



BUNKER 66 - OUT OF THE BUNKER
After their killer debut full-length on HIGH ROLLER RECORDS in 2013, the atomic warriors from Hell a.k.a. BUNKER 66 are back on DOOMENTIA! Hold your fire though, since 'Out Of The Bunker' ain't no new material but a long-awaited reissue of their very first official release from 2009.



HOODED MENACE/LOSS - A VIEW FROM THE ROPE
Recorded February 2014 in their hometown of Nashville, 'Depressions Hammer' is LOSS' first new material in three years. Not one to be distanced and still riding high on the excellent feedback gathered by their recent 'Labyrinth Of Carrion Breeze', HOODED MENACE have once again delivered the (evil) gods with 'Monuments', unsurprisingly an intensively heavy, bleak slow and long track.



HORSE LATITUDE/ATOMIC CRIES - SPLIT 12"
Finnish trio HORSE LATITUDES and their two-basses-but-no-guitar attack. If you think that 'Black Soil' was their heaviest offering yet, just wait until you'll hear 'Drowned Current' as here, they've outdone themselves by adding an organ a mini-moog to their arsenal, allowing them to dive even deeper unto the darkness for that nearly twelve minutes dive. ATOMIC CRIES are an international two-man unit with one foot in the US and the other in Europe. Proudly bowing down at SAINT VITUS altar.

XIBALBA/SUBURBAN SCUM - SPLIT 12"
Featuring over 22 minutes of music, this split 12-inch is a mix of doom-influenced metal from California's XIBALBA and breakdown-driven hc from New Jersey's SUBURBAN SCUM. This will be XIBALBA's first release since their 2012 full-length Hasta La Muerte on Southern Lord Records as well as SUBURBAN SCUM's first since their 2012 EP 'Hanging By A Thread'.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - LP (Album)



ANCILLOTTI - CHAIN GOES ON
Does anyone remember STRANA OFFICINA, arguably the most legendary '80s metal band from Italy? Or the '90s project BUD TRIBE? Those of you who liked those bands will definitely be fascinated by ANCILLOTTI. This group was founded by the eponymous Daniele "Bud" Ancillotti, who took on his brother Sandro as bass-player, his son Brian as drummer and Luciano "Ciano" Toscani on guitar. The ten songs of the album are influenced by straight forward heavy metal, strongly reminding of the singer's earlier bands.

ARNOCORPS - THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME
Throughout the history of mankind, the stories most often told through song are those of great deeds and fantastic adventures. ArnoCorps carries on the tradition by bringing to audiences original musical interpretations of ancient Austrian lore and mythology, such as 'Terminator', 'Commando', 'Predator', 'Total Recall' and 'True Lies'. In doing so, ArnoCorps has created a new genre of music known as "Action Adventure HC Rock'n'Roll"! LP version!



BLACK HOLE - LIVING MASK
Black Hole is an obscure Italian trio that recorded its first LP 'Land Of Mystery' in 1985. That work is considered a doom masterpiece, a forerunner to the funeral doom sound developed by others years later, giving the band an increasing popularity, granting a "cult" status. Few know Black Hole recorded a second concept-album, 'Living Mask', in 1989, but this album remained unreleased until 2000 when Andromeda Relics came up with a limited CD-edition that quickly sold out and nowadays is almost impossible to find. The best way to describe Black Hole's sound is experimental horror/doom metal, though certainly not doom metal in the classic sense. Death SS is acknowledged as a pioneer in Italian horror-inspired doom, and is a fair comparison for Black Hole.



DARK ANGEL - (BLACK/ORANGE) DARKNESS DESCENDS
2ND PRESS. BLACK/ORANGE SPLATTER, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, cardboard lyric sheet, poster. No doubt about it - Darkness Descends is one of the most important albums in Thrash Metal history. Gene Hoglan's drumming on songs like "Merciless Death", "The Burning Of Sodom" or "Black Prophecies" is simply not of this world! As you all know, Hoglan later moved on to play with Chuck Schuldiner's Death and more recently with Testament as well as Devin Townsend (with whom he recorded several albums). Darkness Descends (originally released in 1986) is widely regarded as Dark Angel's 'classic' record. The roots of Dark Angel go back to the year 1981 when Don Doty (vocals), Jim Durkin (guitars), Rob Yahn (bass) and Mike Andrade (drums) formed the band in Downey, California, during the early days of the Bay Area Thrash invasion. Their original band name was Shellshock which they changed to Dark Angel in 1983. In 1985 the first record We Have Arrived was released. We Have Arrived was a decent enough Thrash Metal debut record with fast and furious songs such as "Welcome To The Slaughter House" or the title track but Dark Angel really found their own style on the second album Darkness Descends. They had moved towards more elaborate compositions with technical twists and turns (plus Gene Hoglan's trademark lyrics dealing with psychological illnesses and traumata).

EXODUS - PLEASURES OF THE FLESH
The second EXODUS album 'Pleasures Of The Flesh' was originally released in 1987 and marked the first with Zetro Souza on vokills. Songs like 'Parasite', 'Braindead', 'Chemi-Kill' or the title-song are superb sonic lessons in violence and the album remains -even more than two decades after its release- a must-have for every decent metalhead out there. This version also features the original, uncensored cover artwork!

MEGADETH - KILLING IS MY BUSINESS... (CENTURY MEDIA)
After leaving Metallica, Dave Mustaine started MEGADETH and debuted in 1985 with the essential, raw and rabid high octane thrash attack 'Killing Is My Business...'. Now, this classic album is available on vinyl again and it is to the very day a mandatory piece of US thrash history!

MOTORHEAD - BASTARDS (DELUXE)
DELUXE VINYL EDITON IN VELVET JACKET! A stunning reissue of this seminal 1993 studio album that has long lived as one of Lemmy & Co.s best efforts. The music here is intensely fast and brutally loud! Specially mastered for this release and pressed on 180-gram vinyl! This strictly limited edition package is sequentially numbered!



SEA BASTARD - SCABROUS (2LP)
SEA BASTARD hail from Brighton and specialize in monolithic doom metal. Following last year's self titled debut album which received great critical acclaim, here is the highly anticipated follow up to that debut. On offer are four songs, spanning 55 minutes, downtuned to G# for the heaviest thing you are likely to hear this year! A must for fans of ELECTRIC WIZARD, ST VITUS etc. Limited edition double-LP in heavyweight gatefold sleeve.



STALLION - MOUNTING THE WORLD
Edition on black vinyl, presented in a heavy cardboard cover with lyric sheet and download code.

ELECTRIC CITIZEN - SATEEN
EXCLUSIVE CLEAR SPOT COLOUR FOR THIS VINYL VERSION. The 2014 album from ELECTRIC CITIZEN. Taking its name from a song by the legendary Notting Hill Gate set the Edgar Broughton Band, this outfit is the brainchild of guitarist Ross Dolan, the enigmatic vocalist Laura Dolan, Nick Vogelpohl (bass), and Nate Wagner (drums). The music is powerful hardrock, with a '70s retro sound and influences of late '60s psych rock.

Compact Disc



TERMINAL DEATH - TERMINAL DEATH
When you talk about the earliest Death Metal bands, we think of SEPULTURA, DEATH, POSSESSED (all stemming from VENOM) right off the top, but there were a few ripping bands that quickly fell into obscurity and TERMINAL DEATH is one of those bands. This is not just an obscure band; they could have been a HUGE Death Metal band if they were signed to the right label back then. Their 1985 Demo tape screams with energy and intensity! This is a re-mastered collection of their complete and very short-lived recorded career. The CD booklet is massive with an in-depth interview done by Laurent from Snakepit Magazine. Co-founder Shaun Glass, who also co-founded SINDROME, joined the rathr well known classic Death Metal band BROKEN HOPE in the early 1990s.



ZONE ZERO - THE LOST LEGACY (2CD)
Zone Zero from Sweden only put out one single and a few demo tapes in the early '80s before disbanding. In the land of early Swedish Heavy Metal, the very first and most important band was without question Heavy Load, who started in the late '70s. With that said, Zone Zero does have a very strong Heavy Load influence and were also influenced by Judas Priest and the N.W.O.B.H.M. This package includes their entire recorded legacy, starting in 1980 and including the band's reunion for three songs that were recorded in 2008.

1349 - BEYOND THE APOCALYPSE (2LP)
10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY DELUXE VINYL EDITION! 'Beyond The Apocalypse' is the legendary second studio album by Norwegian black metal band 1349. This is a nasty, harsh, brutally skullcrushing blast of Scandinavian death/black metal that lacks even the slightest trace of subtlety.

ATLAS MOTH - THE OLD BELIEVER
Chicago's THE ATLAS MOTH has always been hard to categorize. Drawing from a myriad of influences and styles, their sound is one of the most unique and unusual in today's American underground scene. The main ingredients often include progressive and psychedelic metal, both crushingly heavy and sublimely beautiful. On their third full-length release The Atlas Moth unleash their most glorious and emotionally riveting work yet. 'The Old Believer' exceeds all previous efforts on the strength of its unparalleled songwriting and focused presentation. LP-edition.



CARPATHIAN FOREST - DEFENDING THE THRONE OF EVIL
DELUXE VINYL EDITION! 'Defending The Throne Of Evil' is the fourth studio album by Norwegian black metal band Carpathian Forest. Originally released in 2003 by Season Of Mist the sonority of 'Defending The Throne Of Evil' is largely different from other Carpathian Forest albums, being their most melodic one so far. Here the sound heavily relies on symphonic interludes, saxophones and synthesizers, with a result that is loosely reminiscent of symphonic black metal.



CARPATHIAN FOREST - FUCK YOU ALL!!!! (2LP)
DELUXE VINYL EDITION! 'Fuck You All!!!!' is the fifth studio album by Norwegian black metal band Carpathian Forest. Originally released in 2006 via Season of Mist, and as of 2014, it's their last album so far. Contrasting with the symphonic approach of their previous album, 'Defending The Throne Of Evil', this is a throwback to Carpathian Forest's earlier, rawer musical style, reminiscent of their debut offering 'Black Shining Leather'.



DEVIL'S BLOOD - THE TIME OF NO TIME EVERMORE (2LP)
Repressed. comes with a new sleeve design. Follow up album to the debut album 'Come Reap' now also as limited 2x12" vinyl.



FUNERAL CIRCLE - FUNERAL CIRCLE (2LP)
Hailing from the icy mountains of Canada, this young and hungry band writes some of the very best Epic Doom Metal songs heard today. FUNERAL CIRCLE slowly claws its way to the top of the genre with a record that is loud, heavy and raw, and features some truly outstanding vocals.



IRON MAN - GENERATION VOID
Those who are into classic Dio-era BLACK SABBATH should definitely pay attention now. IRON MAN is by far the band out there that sounds closest to BLACK SABBATH. Here is their third full-length effort, and it's at least as strong as the rest of the IRON MAN catalogue, and probably even better.



IRON MAN - THE PASSAGE
A superb album by IRON MAN! This release will appeal to fans of BLACK SABBATH, DIO, JIMI HENDRIX, CANDLEMASS, CATHEDRAL, TROUBLE, RUSH, BUDGIE...



MAYHEM - CHIMERA (2LP)
DELUXE VINYL EDITION! 'Chimera' is the third full length album from Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. It is the fourth and last main Mayhem release to feature vocalist Sven Erik Kristiansen (Maniac). TurboNatas of fellow Norwegian band Red Harvest provided the album's artwork, a screenshot from the 1922 silent film 'Haxan'.

MAYHEM - GRAND DECLARATION OF WAR (2LP)
DELUXE VINYL EDITION! 'Grand Declaration Of War' is the second full-length studio album by Norwegian black metal band Mayhem, originally released through Season Of Mist in 2000. The album's title and some of the lyrics are taken from the writings of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, particularly 'Twilight Of The Idols' and 'The Antichrist'! This reissue offers the same bonus material as 2014's double-CD edition, including 2001's 'European Legions', seven live recordings of MAYHEM classics, plus five pre-production tracks from 'Grand Declaration Of War'.



MIDNIGHT - COMPLETE AND TOTAL HELL (2LP)
Can't get enough of MIDNIGHT's trademark 'Lust, Filth, And Sleaze' after 2013's worldwide smash 'Satanic Royalty'? Then submit to 'Complete And Total Hell'! Exactly what it says on the tin, the exhaustive 21-track 'Complete And Total Hell' collects all of MIDNIGHT's entire pre-'Satanic Royalty' back catalogue, much of it long out-of-print and highly sought-after. Hear where Black Heavy Metal first became law!



MIDNIGHT - NO MERCY FOR MAYHEM
Hotter than Hell in the metal/punk underworld, MIDNIGHT's debut album 'Satanic Royalty' became an instant classic upon its release in 2011. Here, with anticipation at a fever pitch, the hooded demons return with the even better 'No Mercy For Mayhem'. Whereas 'Satanic Royalty' was the culmination of nearly a decade's worth of hard slogging in the underground, 'No Mercy For Mayhem' is an intensification of everything its predecessor seemingly perfected: the hooks even more anthemic, the power more piledriving, the dirt dirtier, the sum effect being absolute BLACKOUT. Really, there's no current band who are able to mainline classic heavy metal, hard-charging punk rock and grimy rock'n'roll quite like MIDNIGHT can, and 'No Mercy For Mayhem' is studded-leather, 10-track proof that mainman Athenar and crew are at the top of their game and bow to no one.



NUNSLAUGHTER - ANGELIC DREAD (2LP)
At long last, NUNSLAUGHTER return with their first full-length studio album in seven years (and fourth overall), 'Angelic Dread'! The epitome of "highly anticipated", 'Angelic Dread' is the fullest, fiercest realization of the eternal NUNSLAUGHTER aesthetic: 'Devil Metal' to the bitter and bloody end. This American Metal outfit create concise, catchy, and caustic anthems to anti-religion and supernatural horror, combining the best and most belligerent elements of death metal and HC punk. It's no wonder that NUNSLAUGHTER have a diehard cult following around the world, all of whom consume the band's seemingly endless tornado of vinyl releases. But here, the band have delivered 15 of their most potent tracks ever! To celebrate this monumental release it includes a bonus CD/LP that comprises 16 songs previously available only on 7-inch vinyl, but re-recorded in a most crushing manner, thus making 'Angelic Dread' the ultimate NUNSLAUGHTER statement!

OKKULTOKRATI - NIGHT JERKS (+CD)
The third album from the unpredictable, genre defying Okkultokrati, who once again address the public with 'Night Jerks', an album created to spread confusion and despair. The band reposition themselves as a foreign object: moving high and fast, impossible to catch or categorize.



RUNNING WILD - THE BROTHERHOOD (2LP)
DELUXE VINYL EDITION! 'The Brotherhood' is the twelfth album by German pirate speed metal band Running Wild.



SACROCURSE - UNHOLIER MASTER
Hot on the heels of their internationally acclaimed 'Sulphur Blessing' demo, black/death barbarians SACROCURSE deliver their highly anticipated debut-album 'Unholier Master'. This album sees scene veteran Zolrak Montes -most known for Nodens and Unholier, but also a former member of Morbosidad and Obeisance- joined by Turkey's Godslaying Hellblast, unleashing one furious, fiery barrage of bestiality after another, their surging onslaught whipping the listener into a diabolical possession.



SODOM - TILL DEATH DO US UNITE (2LP)
DELUXE VINYL EDITION! 'Til Death Do Us Unite' is the eighth album by German thrash metal band Sodom, originally released in 1997. The album had a controversial album cover, showing the bellie of a naked pregnant woman and an obese man pressing a human skull together. This album marked the beginning of a return to thrash, but was more along the lines of a thrash/crossover sound. It is the first Sodom album fo feature guitarist Bernermann and drummer Bobby Schottkowski.

DEATH PENALTY - SIGN OF TIMES
With the sad demise of British doom metal legends Cathedral in 2013, former guitarist Garry (Gaz) Jennings wasted no time in moving forward, creating his next Metal dream. Heralded as one of Britain's most unique, prolific and unsung riff writers, his vast understanding of Heavy Metal mechanics, coupled with his expert historical knowledge in the field, is certainly not rivalled by many. 'Sign Of Times' marks the introduction to his latest Metal monster, Death Penalty. Joining him is Belgian female vocalist Michelle Nocon. Her unique style and multi-ranged capabilities give a fresh approach to all that is going on in Metal right now.

VARIOUS - TLILTIC TLAPOYAUAK (2CD)
Compilation of bands related to the Black Twilight Circle. The package is a 6-panel gatefold with a 20-page booklet, 5-colour printing and includes 2 CDs. This just reaffirms why The Black Twilight Circle (a group of predominantly Mexican/Guatemalan underground musicians/artists and their bands located throughout southern California) are the most important thing in black metal today. It's amazing to see the growth in the returning bands - Arizmenda's track might just be the best thing they've ever done. Axeman's song could be one of the best black metal songs EVER. Even the newer bands manage to pull their own weight. Kampilan rocks the foundation with their thundering brand of filthy death/doom while In Lakech Ala Kin triumphantly represent the disturbed brand of atmospheric black metal The Black Twilight Circle has become known for. Seriously, any and every black metal fan needs to get their hands ALL OVER THIS. Hopefully, this is a prelude to a whole slew of releases from this enigmatic group of bands, and if it is, the underground has a lot to look forward to.

BLACK STAR RIDERS - ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE (2LP)
The true heirs to the THIN LIZZY throne!? Together with bandmates Marco Mendoza and Damon Johnson, Scott Gorham and Rocky Warwick have of course toured in various configurations of Thin Lizzy in recent years. But while Gorham -the late Phil Lynott's longest serving guitar foil- and original Lizzy drummer Brian Downey had every right to lead such a charge, even they felt somewhat conflicted when talked about recording a new Thin Lizzy album. The result is an album with the spirit of Thin Lizzy, but under the moniker of Black Star Riders.



DECAPITATED - BLOOD MANTRA
The sixth album from the Polish death metal purveyors!



ELUVEITIE - ORIGINS (2LP)
'Origins' deals with the Celtic mythology, "or to be more precise, with aetiological tales from Gaul", commented vocalist and front man Chrigel Glanzmann. Glanzmann also created the artwork for this new offering and goes on to explain: "The album cover of 'Origins' is designed after the hammer/club-shaped 'halo' of Sucellos, as seen on a statue that was found in a shrine of a gallo-roman household in today's France. Does that mean this is a recommended album? Hell, of course it does!

KILLER BE KILLED - KILLER BE KILLED (2LP)
Fast friends Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY) and Greg Puciato (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) spent a marathon three-day session in the desert together, working up over a dozen demos with the same drum machine and four-track recorder Max had used to work on SEPULTURA's 'Chaos A.D.', among others. After recruiting drummer Dave Elitch (ex-THE MARS VOLTA) and bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders (MASTODON), KILLER BE KILLED became a real band in a small rehearsal room. Black vinyl.

LITURGY - RENIHILATION
Vinyl reissue of their 2009 debut. The first 500 copies are on white vinyl, the remaining LP's are black. Includes download. Brooklyn, NY's LITURGY steeps indie black metal in the genre's most basic foundations of buzzing, dissonant guitars and whirlwind percussion, yet they make the sound firmly their own-both modern and ancient. With a style similar to that of their NYC friends Krallice as well as the earlier works of the Norwegian wolves Ulver, Liturgy represents the seeping of black metal into the consciousness of the indie music world at large.

MATCHESS - SERAPHASTRA
VINYL ONLY RELEASE, LIMITED TO 300 COPIES WITH DOWNLOAD. Originally released as an extremely limited cassette by the Digitalis label, this album makes a welcome debut to the vinyl format. Matchess is the solo project of Whitney Johnson, singer and keyboardist for Chicago band VERMA. Johnson's minimalist sensibility owes as much to the Berlin school as it does to early industrial and minimal synth pioneers like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. Matchess places Johnson in the same league as counterparts like Zola Jesus and Liz Harris (Grouper), carrying the torch of female experimental and electronic musicians in the 21st century.

MORTALS - CURSED TO SEE THE FUTURE
NYC's Mortals debut is a blackened slab of heavy metal full of filthy riffs, grooves and growls, equal parts High On Fire and Darkthrone propelled by the guitarwork of ELIZABETH CLINE and the vox of LESLEY WOLF.

MUSIC BLUES - THINGS HAVEN'T GONE WELL (2LP)
The debut solo-album from Stephen Tanner (HARVEY MILK) continues on with similar musical touchstones (Melvins, Gore, Earth, ZZ Top, Kiss and Judas Priest) while forging ahead into a strange, and at times harrowing, unknown. Double-LP with download. The first 500 are on "shit brown-but-non-smelling" vinyl, the remaining copies are black.



OCEAN CHIEF - UNIVERSUMS HARD (2LP)
Limited edition of 500 copies on black vinyl with an insert. Ocean Chief's fifth full-length release! Compared to their previous album 'Sten', the tempo has been increased and the songs are a lot shorter and more melodic. Nevertheless, they retain an ominous bite that leaves your mind searing. A second guitarist was recruited to fill a perceived void in the sound. For fans of YOB, Ufomammut, Conan, Bongripper, etc.

PILGRIM (USA) - THE PILGRIM
This s/t LP by the Baltimore-based hard rockers offers skull-rattling doom that's certainly not for the faint of heart. It's not rockin', it's not forgiving, it's just 100% old school, pummeling doom. Presented in a hand screen printed and numbered sleeve as a super limited edition of 400 copies on randomly mixed colour vinyl.

SUFFERING LUNA WITH THE ASTRONAUT KING/SUFFER THE - SPLIT LP
SUFFERING LUNA's 'Most High' walks the line between mammoth-sized doom and psychotic noise, creating an almost trance-like listening experience. Fans of early Cavity, Grief and 16 will be sure to devour this potent piece of noise inspired psych-doom. Hailing from the San Gabriel Valley in the apocalyptic landscape of East LA, Suffer The Storm features members of LIFE IN EXILE, GUERILLA SABOTAGE UNIT, and FUNERAL DOGS. Their 22-minute droning funeral hymn, 'Squalor', takes the listener on an unforgiving trip to the deepest depths of human filth, despair and misanthropy. Guttural death metal-esque vocals pave the way for this absolutely devastating slab of doom.



SUICIDE SILENCE - YOU CAN'T STOP ME
SUICIDE SILENCE's fourth album features a new frontman on the heels of an earthshaking tragedy. Suicide Silence have declared 'You Can't Stop Me' as their most impassioned, most committed, and most important release thus far. It's a record they fought, bled, sweated and even cried for to make happen. Consequently, it's a record that must be heard!



TANKARD - R.I.B.
'R.I.B.' combines all aspects that defined the past three decades of TANKARD, including brilliant riffs, creaking old school Thrash attacks, catchy melodies and of course the very special type of humor the band is known for.



THRESHOLD - FOR THE JOURNEY
The successor for their 2012 output 'March Of Progress' was produced by Karl Groom and THRESHOLD keyboardist Richard West at Thin Ice Studios in England and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox in Finland.



WASTED - (BLACK) HALLOWEEN...THE NIGHT OF
The one and only album from Danish heavy metallers WASTED sees a reissue. Released back in 1984, the album contains eight tracks. The music is very diverse, ranging from speedy, to doomy, always with a present chainsaw guitars, with a mean and raw sound. For fans of early JAGUAR, MERCYFUL FATE, WITCHFINDER GENERAL. Definitively one of the best and rawest metal efforts from the early heavy metal scene in Denmark, alongside MERCYFUL FATE and EVIL.

APOKEFALE - TEMPUS EST NIHIL (3CD)
Apokefale mix many elements into their sound. Some have described them as blackened death metal. Apokefale's third album was recorded with musicians from Rotting Christ, Krabathor, Nightfall, Obsecration and Hypnos... It is a complete trilogy, consisting of three albums: 'Interior Chaos' (2005), 'Apokefale' (2008), 'Revelation: Procreating Abhorrent Depths' (2011). The trilogy has an addition, which consists of songs that hadn't been released yet for a variety of reasons; in this very moment, when the trilogy has finally been completed, these songs have been reanimated.



BONGCAULDRON - BONGCAULDRON
4 panel gatefold digipak CD featuring the incredible artwork by Steve Myles. Printed on extra thick card. Dirty, raw, doomy and just plain riff heavy. The vocals remind me of old Sepultura. Raucous sludge power trio will delight fans of Eyehategod, Iron Monkey, Weedeater, Sleep...



BRUTALLY DECEASED - BLACK INFERNAL VORTEX
Those nine songs take the heritage of their 2010's debut 'Dead Lovers Guide' and run with it further down the abyss. Its striking cover designed by Paolo Girardi (BLAPSHEMOPHAGER, INQUISITION, CRAVEN IDOL etc.) is the perfect reflection of what those thirty minutes have in store, a totally uncompromised, raging and raw-as-fuck take on the classic sound of the Swedish school of death, yet with its own rabid-like flair. Old-school it may be but alive, well and ready to kill it is!

Catapult The Dead hails from the bleak and fearsome depths of the East Bay Tarpits. Their album 'All Is Sorrow' is a keyboard and organ-driven doom metal affair, something you do not normally witness in the world of doom, normally centered on loud and monolithic guitars and crushing drums. It's Gothic and almost baroque and has set the band completely apart from the rest when it comes to atmospheric sludge metal and post-HC. - CVLTNATION. 'All Is Sorrow' is one 37-minute opus, intended to be listened to without any interruptions.

CEMETARY LUST - ORGIES OF ABOMINATION
One of HELL'S HEADBANGERS latest unearthings from metal's dirtiest underground, CEMETERY LUST presents their highly anticipated debut for the label, 'Orgies Of Abomination'. Following on from their cult debut 'Screams Of The Violated', soon to be reissued by HELLS HEADBANGERS, 'Orgies Of Abomination' sees these Portland sleaze-bangers perfecting their vile, violent craft. Fittingly titled, 'Orgies Of Abomination' is a veritable smorgasbord of lyrical depravity, ably backed up by filthy, feral thrash metal that equally nods to '80s German proto-black, San Francisco speed metal, and even South American proto-death, all done with devilish glee. These songs stick in your head, and then CEMETERY LUST explodes right out of it, cremating all party-thrash pretenders.



CRIMSON SHADOWS - KINGS AMONG MEN (2LP)
Toronto's CRIMSON SHADOWS were the winners of the Wacken Metal Battle contest in 2013 and are now ready to release their second album 'Kings Among Men'. Listeners can expect epic metal with stunning guitar solos and powerful vocals from guttural growl to melodic clean vocals. This is where modern power metal meets melodic death metal, heart meets brain and the beauty of the melody meets the beasty riffs. These Canadians deliver with aggression and melody, clever arrangements and long songs that are quite similar to a roller coaster ride! This spectacular album is a must-have for fans of DRAGONFORCE and CHILDREN OF BODOM.

CURSE THE SON - PSYCHACHE

KORN - KORN (2LP)
Reissue on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, including an insert. Korn's 1994 s/t album featured lyrcis that largely focussed on drug and child abuse.

Korn's first full-length was an important release in the popularization of the nu metal genre.



MARTYRDOD - ELDDOP
Swedens D-beat crust gods, MARTYRDOD, return with their second full-length for Southern Lord. Once again they entered the infamous Studio Fredman (At The Gates, Amon Amarth, Opeth) to record 'Elddop', the crushing follow-up to 2012's 'Paranoia' LP.

'The Living Ever Mourn' is the debut full-length born of this union of notable extreme music perpetrators, rending over forty minutes of purely epic metal, bridging morose heaviness with melodic destruction. Envisioned and executed in a period of grief, delirium and loss of life, the atmosphere and lyrics mirror the ensuing emptiness while simultaneously embracing the dichotomous power in the unwavering and eternal force of Death. Mastered by Brad Boatright (From Ashes Rise, Sleep, Nails, Blast!).

ORDER OF ISRAFEL - WISDOM (2LP)
There are bands that are just too big and wide-ranging to fit in a box, like THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL. Tom Sutton (ex-Church Of Misery) and Patrik Andersson Winberg (ex-Doomdogs), two members of the line-up, already have made it in the doom scene, so this is a sure indication that this band will break any speed records. And of course, THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL are rooted in doom, but they shouldn't be reduced to the pure slow-motion sound, because 'Wisdom' is clearly too complex. 'Wisdom' is a record of big gestures and stories and is full of epic beauty and magic. This is not music to be consumed just casually, but a widescreen sound with invitation to dive into tempting and dangerous world. Doom, hard rock, metal, folk - THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL play with many elements and form a compact unit out of it, with songs to never get boring. A mystical and mysterious album.

STRIKER - CITY OF GOLD (2LP)
STRIKER carry on the tradition of consistently high level first-class Heavy Metal bands hailing from Canada. Imagine a mixture of Exciter and Savage Grace, intertwined with newer influences of Steelwing or Enforcer, that is what can be expected of the new album City Of Gold. STRIKER pay homage to the classic Speed Metal, but also work with great Maiden twin guitar harmonies.



TORCH RUNNER - ENDLESS NOTHING
North Carolina's Torch Runner return with the follow up to their brutal debut album 'Committed To the Ground'. 'Endless Nothing' was recorded by Kris Hilbert (Centuries, The Body) and shows the band reaching new depths of audial violence.



YOB - THE UNREAL NEVER LIVES LIVE AT ROADBURN 2012
With the added crackle of some dope and beer I imagined how the first bars of Quantum Mystic might sound unleashed upon the ravenous hordes now gathered before the big stage slavering in anticipation. Within minutes those imaginings were made real and magnified a thousand fold - ask anyone who went - YOB were the fucking emperors of the weekend. 'The Unreal Never Lived' played in its magnificent entirety by one of the greatest contemporary heavy bands on the face of the planet was the kind of experience that living was made for.



ZAUM - ORACLES (BLACK)
ZAUM is a duo from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Kyle Alexander McDonald (frontman of the 3-bassed doom band Shevil) is the vocalist and plays bass via a monolithic custom stereo FX creation layered with sitar textures and synth, while Christopher Lewis (frontman of Canadian stoner rock legends Iron Giant) plays drums and percussion. ZAUM combines the foreboding darkness of The Wounded Kings, with the meditative, oriental disposition of Om and Bong, thickly entwined in singular aural mysticism and creativity that stimulates the imagination at all times. ZAUM dubbed their style "Middle Eastern mantra doom." For fans of Om, Bong, Sleep, The Wounded Kings, etc.

AUDREY HORNE - PURE HEAVY (+7")
Limited gatefold edition plus 7" single (2 bonus tracks) on black vinyl. One may mourn the seventies, miss the glorious eighties and consider the nineties as a particularly undervalued decade. You could also simply play 'Pure Heavy' by Norwegian rock band AUDREY HORNE and get all of the missing rock eras delivered for free. With admirable energy, keen sense of strong hooks, fine licks and great melodies, this record rocks without detours directly into the heart of every fan of pure rock music. Timeless compositions from dynamic to bursting sounds and undisputed authenticity of the five musicians make pure heavy a real listening pleasure. The album is indeed heavy and plump hard, but it has also great attention to detail and deep melodic aspects, in short, a veritable cornucopia of great songs.

BLACK MOTH - CONDEMNED TO HOPE
BLACK MOTH's long awaited second album, like the debut produced by Jim Sclavunos, takes the band's kaleidoscopic heaviosity and sepulchral style to a whole new plateau of riff-driven dementia. The legendary ROGER DEAN has created an incredible painting for the cover. Dean's iconic work for Yes, Uriah Heep, Budgie, countless Vertigo sleeves and much more, has come to define '70s sleeve art. Much darker for 'Condemned To Hope', he evokes the apocalyptic landscapes of Victorian painter John Martin to create something truly bleak and epic. The sleeve itself will definitely become collectible! The album comes in a deluxe heavy gatefold American-style hardback tip on sleeve. The LP is pressed on 180-gram black and cream vinyl. Also included are a lyric insert and free download of the album. The vinyl is limited to 500 copies.

This music is both obscene and extreme!

GORMATHON - FOLLOWING THE BEAST
Limited edition with 2 bonus tracks on black vinyl. The Gormathon is a beast, a hybrid of angel and fighter. It is the almighty unknown. At least thats the way the Swedish band explains its name. Gormathon is a band that knows no fear. In their sound you can hear melodic death metal and thrash elements, influences from modern heavy metal and inspirations of old metal heroes from the eighties.

PELICAN - ARKTIKA (2LP/BLACK)
With the double-LP 'Arktika' Pelican cement their position atop the post-metal throne by delivering a live album that doesn't just slavishly recreate sband standards, but transforms the songs into something altogether sludgier, grittier and reminiscent of the bubbling tar pits of the Russian tundra, from whence both came. Recorded in St. Petersburg in July 2013, the set contains tracks from across Pelican's discography, coating them all with a layer of distortion and darkness unheard on the studio versions. BLACK VINYL VERSION, LIMITED TO 300. Comes with download code.

'TEETH, HAIR & SKIN' is the title of Red Kunz's debut album. The album displays 20 minutes of raw bass riffing and double drum battles that somehow manage to sound like proper catchy songs.

GOLDEN GRASS - GOLDEN GRASS (BLACK)
Black vinyl, ltd. to 500. With download coupon. The glory of American hard rock has returned with the debut eponymous album by THE GOLDEN GRASS! This Brooklyn-based power-trio is the real deal, and their LP harkens back to the golden age when heavy rock music was upbeat, skillfully played, energetic, edgy, and bursting with goodtime sunshine vibes. They come hard with a strong backbone of deep-pocket funky flare and an earnest/uplifting southern/country/mountain rock vibe, layered with waves of psychedelic textures that explode into jaw-dropping proto-metal moves. And throughout their progressive arrangements and timeless grooves are lush and powerfully delivered vocals, stacked with gorgeous harmonies and maddeningly catchy verses and choruses singing the tales of real-life loves, losses, and the drive to keep on keepin on! This album is a sure treat for fans of classic underground hard rock such as Truth and Janey, Dust, and Josefus as well as fans of classic UK psychedelia such as The Move, The Pretty Things, and Mighty Baby. THE GOLDEN GRASS will also greatly appeal to folks into the contemporary sounds of Danava, Horisont, Graveyard, and Dead Man.

And of course, THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL are rooted in doom, but they shouldn't be reduced to the pure slow-motion sound, because 'Wisdom' is clearly too complex. 'Wisdom' is a record of big gestures and stories and is full of epic beauty and magic. This is not music to be consumed just casually, but a widescreen sound with invitation to dive into tempting and dangerous world. Doom, hard rock, metal, folk - THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL play with many elements and form a compact unit out of it, with songs to never get boring. A mystical and mysterious album.

Their crushing and massive first full-length '...And Justice For Y'All' created an immediate buzz, while critics were struggling to put a tag on their sound. Nearly everybody agreed that stoner rock, doom, sludge and some crusty elements were part of the mix, which the band simply calls "weed metal". Produced by renowned engineer Billy Anderson (EYEHATEGOD, NEUROSIS a.o.), remastered and presented here with its original artwork, '...And Justice For Y'All' is now available on vinyl for the first time. Time to lean back and get high on this WEEDEATER cult classic! Recommended if you like: ELECTRIC WIZARD, EYEHATEGOD, BONGZILLA, BUZZOVEN, SOURVEIN, SLEEP.

TEXTURES - POLARS
In 2003, the year of the launch of TEXTURES debut album 'Polars', the first reactions started to stream in: "This is the best metal album thats ever come out of the Netherlands" according to Major Dutch music magazine Oor. The band remembers: "Coming from the south of The Netherlands we started as a group of friends from the same neighbourhood in a small village named Etten-Leur. Our ideas were big and pretentious from the start. All raised with music from every corner of the musical spectrum we were bound to make an eclectic sound. State of the art as well. Looking back, we had so many ideas, we were in fact overflowing with inspiration, we just had to deliver this thing the best way we could. (...) So, in the freezing last days of 2001 we camped for two weeks in our temporary studio we had built to create the basis of our debut album. No shows were done, no press, no promotion. On purpose. In silence we worked for three more years to launch everything that we had in one single blast." This metal classic album is now available with a completely different design and lay out, remastered by ex-guitar player Jochem Jacobs of Split Second Studios who also played on the record. For fans of Meshuggah mixing with Opeth.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - LP (Album)



AMENRA - AFTERLIFE (BLACK)
Gentle acoustic guitars instead of distorted amps, wandering beauty instead of raging brutality, wailing melancholy instead of desperate fury. Opposed to the mercilessly grinding doom/sludge mantras of their renowned 'Mass' releases, Amenra chose a more subtle approach on the painful darkness that is 'Afterlife' - spreading a lugubrious and melancholic atmosphere. Post-hc pioneers Amenra deliver an album with completely acoustic songs, far removed from the long, repetitive and hypnotizing songs they made their trademark off. The A-side holds three melancholic acoustic tracks whereas the B-side is composed of their mirror-reflections, all of them sharing emotions of infinity. Edition of 250 copies on black vinyl.



BEYOND CREATION - (BLACK) EARTHBORN EVOLUTION (2LP)
Feel the onrush of sweeping arpeggios, crushing waves of fretless bass, complex rhythmical patterns and erupting scales peppered with jazzy feeling and masterful execution under the mark of 'Earthborn Evolution', which names the sophomore full-length of BEYOND CREATION. The French part of Canada is home to a vibrant culture of technical Death Metal fostered by outstanding acts such as GORGUTS, CRYPTOPSY, MARTYR, and NEURAXIS. This illustrious family tree has produced many sprouts in the past, yet none of them are as brilliant as Quebec's new amazing scion: BEYOND CREATION! 'Earthborn Evolution' now catapults the Canadians into the top league of their genre, right among such giants as ATHEIST, DEATH or CYNIC. Prepare for the lightning evolution of the progressive technical death metal revolution! Recommended if you like OBSCURA, NECROPHAGIST, GORGUTS, BEHEMOTH, ARCHSPIRE, CRYPTOPSY, IMMOLATION, GNOSTIC.

BLEEDING UTOPIA - DARKEST POTENCY
Hard, aggressive and simple riffing with deep growling vocals, big choruses and epic solos... that is what BLEEDING UTOPIA is all about! The music is inspired by both the early Swedish death metal scene, with that characteristic Gothenburg sound, as well as the more aggressive American style which in the end ties together into an exciting and potent mixture.



GHOST BRIGADE - (BLACK) IV: ONE WITH THE STORM (2LP)
Gatefold black 2LP. Progressive rock, death and doom metal into a highly emotional musical experience. Yet the changes in their line-up can be felt such as new keyboard patterns by Joni Vanhanen. Adding to this, singer Manne Ikonen's hard work on his performance reveals itself remarkably in the enhanced clear vocal passages. 'IV: One With The Storm' furthermore comes with a state of the art production by the band and Tuomas Kokko at Electric Fox Studios, Finland. Recommended if you like CULT OF LUNA, AMORPHIS, KATATONIA, SWALLOW THE SUN, THE OCEAN.



HAIKAI NO KU - ULTRA HIGH DIMENSIONALITY
Following last year's outstanding debut, 'Sick On My Journey', this three piece release the follow up, a 40 minute pilgrimage through 5 mind-altering tracks. By now avid fans of doom and psychedelia will be familiar with Mike Vest's (Bong, 11Paranoias, Blown Out) patented hyper fuzz guitar shrieks and damaged feedback. In Haikai No Ku he is joined by Jerome Smith (Female Borstal, Charles Dexter Ward) on bass and Sam Booth (Foot Hair, Bin, Obey) on drums to deliver a burgeoning psychedelic doom trip of the highest grade.



KHUNNT - DEAD EYES
Formed in 2006, Khunnt have fervently explored the boundaries of esoteric music, from minimalist noise to live improvisation and psychedelic mantra. Focusing exclusively on a more aggravated and blighted composition, 'Dead Eyes' reflects the band's most recent forages into noise and sludge. Comparable to works by Corrupted, Khanate and Noothgrush, the bleak and at times unbearable landscape of 'Dead Eyes' is a passage of hypnotic despair. "Dead Eyes displays a fearsome mastery of their sound, erecting walls of feedback and distortion only to tear them down with bare-fisted riffs and wraith-like howls. Powerful stuff - Highly recommended!" - Boomkat



MANDRAKE - BREAKING OUT (BLACK) (LP+7")
A Hand numbered edition of 150 LP's on black vinyl, with a gatefold cover, an insert and a bonus 7-inch. Along with the legendary Mercyful Fate and some considerably more obscure acts such as Alien Force and Crystal Knight, Copenhagen's own Witch Cross must rate as one of the best Danish heavy metal bands ever.

MOJAVE LORDS - UNFUCKWITHABLE
MOJAVE LORDS features Dave Catching, Bingo Richey, Brian O'Connor and Barrett Martin. There also are appearances from Chris Goss, Joey Castillo and Danny Franke. These gentlemen are essentially Members of Queens Of The Stone Age, Eagles Of Death Metal, Masters Of Reality, and Screaming Trees. This LP contains over 40 minutes of music, randomly pressed on two vinyl colours (Desert Fire and Bone Marrow). The cover has an embossed skull, logo, and album title on the front, along with UV gloss explosion (almost all of the jacket front is layered with UV gloss). The full colour inner sleeve presents lyrics, band photo and credits. Nice!



MONOLORD - EMPRESS RISING (2LP/BLUE)
Limited BLUE VINYL version. Sweden's psychedelic doom band Monolord releases its first full length 'Empress Rising'. The five-song album clocks in at almost 50 minutes of skull crushing heavy grooves and heavy guitars that summon the spirits of Norse gods when played at loud volumes. Monolord is for more than just doom-metal fanatics; this is an epic record for all fans of guitar driven rock and roll, stoner roc, and heavy riffs. 'Empress Rising' has all of the flavours of an iconic doom record and follows in the footsteps of Sleep, Holy Mountain, Pallbearer's 'Sorrow and Extinction', Electric Wizard's 'Witchcult Today' with melodic vocals and harmonies that are super psychedelic and easy to sing along to.



NECROPHAGIA - (BLACK) WHITEWORM CATHEDRAL (2LP)
Gatefold black 2xLP, alternative cover. NECROPHAGIA are back to haunt you! The masters of death metal horror invite you to bang to the Sabbath on a coffin night, when the evil priest and the rat witch raise the dead among us! Three years in the making, 'WhiteWorm Cathedral' underwent a number of setbacks which hindered the recording sessions, but the result was well worth the wait. NECROPHAGIA have generally taken another step back to a more straightforward approach. Although their latest full-length 'Deathtrip 69' (2011) was generally met with roaring applause, the band decided to reduce the atmospheric samples to the necessary, while focusing on songwriting and catchiness to deliver more old school death metal with a blasphemous groove and killing hooks. The time has come to light those black candles, chant the incantations and watch the 'WhiteWorm Cathedral' rise! Amen, Brother Killjoy! Recommended if you like POSSESSED, MORBID ANGEL, AUTOPSY, DEATH, INCANTATION.



NERO DI MARTE - DERIVAE (2LP)
Italy's widely acclaimed NERO DI MARTE release a sprawling 60 minute epic of intelligent, dynamic and atmospheric metal. It's an engaging, heavy hitting tour-de-force for appreciators of Gorguts, Mastodon, Tool and Neurosis.

PLEBEIAN GRANDSTAND - LOWGAZERS (2LP)
Predominantely black metal out of Toulouse, France. Fusing a good deal of black metal and hc, exploding with explosive energy and blisteringly epic compositions, this is a killer release!



POSTHUM - THE BLACK NORTHERN RITUAL
Posthum (founded 2004) is in no way a band that hide themselves in a scene, nor a constellation of members you will see in other bands. They've carefully created their own unique sound and way of thinking as an isolated band, located in the forests north of Oslo. Their self-titled debut record is highly acclaimed as a hard, but yet atmospheric and beautiful album, with a cold sound and strong arrangements constantly growing on the listener. Combined with their introvert and honest image they continue to make a distinct impression on the scene.



RIWEN - RIWEN
Riwen decided to write 14 songs in 14 days, inspired by the bands they worshiped as vegan straight edge punk kids, f.i. Judge, Battery, Integrity, ACME and Damnation AD. The concept is to not spend 1000 days in the studio and nitpick over every drumbeat and production details. The musical destruction has to be alive and direct, tailor-made to induce mosh mayhem and walls of death.

SAN ANGELUS - SOON WE'LL ALL BE GHOSTS (+DVD)
The debut physical full-length from SAN ANGELUS, a project featuring Larry Herweg (Pelican, ges, Tusk, Lair Of The Minotaur), Kim Kinakin (Sparkmarker, Skinjobs, Strain), Mark Von Holcomb (Undertow, Shift, ges, Dust Moth) and Jason Craig (Sparkmarker, Dust Moth, Narrows). Reflecting the band's obvious foundations, but with a maturity and progression that doesn't feel stale or 'stuck in the past', SAN ANGELUS pulls from a myriad of influences projected through a familiar phonic landscape.

SATAN - TRAIL OF FIRE
British heavy metal legends SATAN are releasing their first official live album to celebrate their live debut appearances on the North American soil in support of their latest and very successful album 'Life Sentence' released on Listenable in April 2013. Originating from Newcastle, England in 1980, known as part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement. Though generally obscure throughout their career, the band is considered influential for playing a form of proto-thrash metal that was fairly advanced by the standards of the early 1980s, influencing major acts like METALLICA, EXODUS, DEATH ANGEL.

SNAILKING - STORM
Following their critically acclaimed 2012 debut album 'Samsara', Swedish doom and sludge trio Snailking return with their sophomore album 'Storm'. The band took their time to craft a steamroller of an album that takes off where 'Samsara' stranded. This music is low, slow, crunchy and fuzzy doom, combined with pounding muddy riffs, all meticulously pieced together. 'Storm' showcases a band in top shape, confident of their skills and building torrential tracks.



TEXTURES - POLARS
In 2003, the year of the launch of TEXTURES debut album 'Polars', the first reactions started to stream in: "This is the best metal album thats ever come out of the Netherlands" according to Major Dutch music magazine Oor. The band remembers: "Coming from the south of The Netherlands we started as a group of friends from the same neighbourhood in a small village named Etten-Leur. Our ideas were big and pretentious from the start. All raised with music from every corner of the musical spectrum we were bound to make an eclectic sound. State of the art as well. Looking back, we had so many ideas, we were in fact overflowing with inspiration, we just had to deliver this thing the best way we could. (...) So, in the freezing last days of 2001 we camped for two weeks in our temporary studio we had built to create the basis of our debut album. No shows were done, no press, no promotion. On purpose. In silence we worked for three more years to launch everything that we had in one single blast." This metal classic album is now available with a completely different design and lay out, remastered by ex-guitar player Jochem Jacobs of Split Second Studios who also played on the record. For fans of Meshuggah mixing with Opeth.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - LP (Album)



ORDER OF ISRAFEL - WISDOM (2LP/BLACK)
There are bands that are just too big and wide-ranging to fit in a box, like THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL. Tom Sutton (ex-Church Of Misery) and Patrik Andersson Winberg (ex-Doomdogs), two members of the line-up, already have made it in the doom scene, so this is a sure indication that this band will break any speed records. And of course, THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL are rooted in doom, but they shouldn't be reduced to the pure slow-motion sound, because 'Wisdom' is clearly too complex. 'Wisdom' is a record of big gestures and stories and is full of epic beauty and magic. This is not music to be consumed just casually, but a widescreen sound with invitation to dive into tempting and dangerous world. Doom, hard rock, metal, folk - THE ORDER OF ISRAFEL play with many elements and form a compact unit out of it, with songs to never get boring. A mystical and mysterious album.



REVERORUM IB MALACHT - DE MYSTERIIS DOM CHRISTI
The follow-up to the cult-classic debut, 2011's 'Urkaos', both the CD version and LP version of 'De Mysteriis Dom Christi' will feature entirely different tracklistings as well as music. REVERORUM IB MALACHT originally operated as part of the Swedish "anti-cosmic" black metal community until members Lundin and Mikael converted to Catholicism around 2009. Lundin was known for his involvement with Dödfödd, Emit, and Ofermod. Ever since then, the debate has not been about how captivating and haunting the music is, but about whether or not this band can still be "black metal." On 'De Mysteriis Dom Christi', the band uses the phrase "Roman Catholic Black Metal." Antagonism reigns. Mysterious, utterly obscure, divergent, murky, lo-fi, eerie, transcendental, old, occult: what do all of these adjectives have in common? They not only refer to the music created by REVERORUM IB MALACHT, but they are also embody much of what one experiences in those epic cathedrals that plague Christendom.



SCIMITAR - DOOMSAYER
Limited to 200 copies on clear with white VINYL. After the break-up of Black Pyramid two of the band's founding members teamed up with a new drummer to continue in the same spirit. So you may expect the classic Black Pyramid sound, but with a slightly more upbeat, rocking edge. The album includes an amazing cover of the Motörhead song 'Metropolis'!

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Compact Disc



MORTUUS - GRAPE OF THE VINE
Mortuus returns with their second full length album, 'Grape Of The Vine', reeking of the same despair and hopelessness of the first album, 'De Contemplanda Morte: De Reverencie Laboribus Ac Adorationis (2007), and that of their self-titled 7" (2005), both released by The Ajna Offensive. The band's previous work was exalted for a feeling of being "lightless" and "dreary as hell" and characterized by the ubiquitous references to "atmosphere"- being a bleak, hopeless, mid-paced exaltation of death. It might sound trite given the dearth of bands touting their authenticity and grimness within the realms of death and black metal, but a simple reading of the lyrical content here simply belies the fact that there is an egregore that penetrates deeper than that of skin and mortality. This new material finds the band exploring the dark tunnels and empty shells that lurk beyond the shallow grave previously mined on the first full-length. And, as with the previous material, the sound is clear and organic and chillingly eerie. 'Grape Of The Vine' offers a panorama of death's landscape slightly more dimensional than that of the first album - not so much so that people will question the fleshing out of the implements deployed, but enough that people will not accuse the band of repeating the past.

ABRAHAM/COILGUNS - SPLIT LP
Abraham's contribution to this split record is a single long and dark anthem. It features experimentation as well as the bearded band's unique blackened sludge metal leanings. Coilguns experiment quite a lot as well, trying to confuse the listeners as well as please them. Their first two songs were recorded in 2013, the third one emerged from a live session in France, in April 2014. All three songs are very different, ranging from very low tuned hc à la Cursed to ambient arpeggio to crazy '70s rock jam vibes. Pete Adams from Savannah's heavy rock heroes Baroness appears as a guest!

APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE - OF WOE AND WOUNDS
This album confirms APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE as a versatile, multi-dimensional doom band that offers some of the most Sabbath-inspired sounds around these days.

Mournful Congregation, Solitude Aeternus, Wheel and Flight Of Sleipnir.

CONVENT GUILT - GUNS FOR HIRE
Convent Guilt is a heavy metal band from Sydney. Influences are drawn from glorious and gritty '70s hard rock, the darker side of the NWOBHM and early '80s heavy metal from both sides of the Atlantic. Genre freaks have been whispering the name of these Aussies for some time. Now you can hear what all the excitement is about.

FANTOMAS - WUNDERKAMMER (5LP+CASSETTE)

Edition on 180-gram vinyl, including 4 bonus tracks. The Swedish guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader became known for his neo-classical playing style in Heavy Metal. 'Fire & Ice' is the sixth studio album by Yngwie and was originally released in 1992. The album debuted in Japan at #1 and sold over 100.000 copies on the day of its release. This expanded 2LP edition of Fire & Ice includes 4 bonus tracks previously unissued on vinyl: 'Leviathan', 'Forever Is A Long Time', 'All I Want Is Everything' and 'Broken Glass'.

MAUSOLEUM GATE - MAUSOLEUM GATE
Expectations are that the self-titled debut release of Finland's MAUSOLEUM GATE is destined to become a classic cult album in a very short time. Rarely in the past few years any metal scene's newcomer has been able to craft such authentically sounding, classic heavy metal music with the passion and energy that MAUSOLEUM GATE put into their debut album.

OVERKILL - RELIX IV (2LP)
Double-LP on 180-gram vinyl. 'ReliX IV' is the thirteenth full-length studio album by American thrash metal band Overkill, originally released in spring 2005. The reason the Roman numeral 14 is included in the title is because the band includes the 'Overkill' EP in their list of studio albums, which obviously would make this album the 14th by their chronology.



ROXX GANG - THE VOODOO YOU LOVE
'The Voodoo You Love' is out for the very first time on vinyl in a limited hand-numbered edition of 250 copies, with a credits and photo insert included. This one's even better than the debut album! The band features Kevin Steele on vocals, Tommy Weder on drums, Dorian Stage on bass and Stacey Blades on guitar (later in L.A. GUNS). These 12 tracks will appeal to anyone into Poison, Ratt, Cinderella and Mötley Crue in the traditional vein of '80s street/sleaze rock metal!



SATAN - TRAIL OF FIRE - LIVE IN NORTH AMERICA
LIMITED EDITION DOUBLE COLOURED 180 GRAM VINYL. British heavy metal legends SATAN are releasing their first official live album to celebrate their live debut appearances on the North American soil in support of their latest and very successful album 'Life Sentence' released on Listenable in April 2013. Originating from Newcastle, England in 1980, known as part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement. Though generally obscure throughout their career, the band is considered influential for playing a form of proto-thrash metal that was fairly advanced by the standards of the early 1980s, influencing major acts like METALLICA, EXODUS, DEATH ANGEL.

TRANSMANIACOM - THE DARKENING PLAIN
Transmaniacon take the blueprint and soundworld laid down by Bloodrock, Mountain, Steppenwolf, Blue Oyster Cult and Alice Cooper, and add a hefty slab of dark doom, hard riffs, punk attitude and stoner metal to ramp it up for the 21st century. The vibe is steeped in '70s rock, but the sound is definitely NOW! From the Sabbathian sludge of 'City Of Chaos' to the Dead Kennedy-esque 'An Eye For An Eye' and the stoner moves of 'Chasing The Insane' the album is shot through with twists and chock full of riffs. This is hard rock at its hardest and heaviest, set against an expansive post apocalyptic backdrop.

Following up their exceptional previous albums 'Call Of Avernus' (2010) and 'White Hoarhound' (2012), the international doom community will be tied up again by 'Awakening The Forest'. The English quartet featuring singer Sophie Day forges forward with hard guitars, pumping heavy grooves.



AUDREY HORNE - PURE HEAVY (+7")
Limited gatefold edition plus 7" single (2 bonus tracks) on black vinyl. One may mourn the seventies, miss the glorious eighties and consider the nineties as a particularly undervalued decade. You could also simply play 'Pure Heavy' by Norwegian rock band AUDREY HORNE and get all of the missing rock eras delivered for free. With admirable energy, keen sense of strong hooks, fine licks and great melodies, this record rocks without detours directly into the heart of every fan of pure rock music. Timeless compositions from dynamic to bursting sounds and undisputed authenticity of the five musicians make pure heavy a real listening pleasure. The album is indeed heavy and plump hard, but it has also great attention to detail and deep melodic aspects, in short, a veritable cornucopia of great songs.



BONGRIPPER - MISERABLE (2LP/BLACK)
Limited edition 500 copies black 180 gram vinyl. This is the follow up to 2010's 'Satan Worshipping Doom'. Bongripper is a four-piece instrumental sludge metal band from Chicago, IL, United States. Since 2005, they have self-released seven recordings. Known for a deafening and intense live performance, the band thrives on an unrelenting sound that can compete with any of the heaviest metal bands of their genre, covering a vast range of genres, from noise, drone doom, and dark ambient to post-metal, their music stands out as a great example of experimental metal.



DEATH PENALTY - DEATH PENALTY (2LP)
Double-LP edition. DEATH PENALTY features Gaz Jennings, best known as the chief composer and guitarist for UK doom metal legends Cathedral. This eponymous debut album is a triumphant tour-de-force of pounding heaviness that brilliantly encapsulates everything that Gaz has brought to the table with Cathedral while veering off on a number of new and distinctly compelling tangents along the way. Fans of the NWOBHM-era will find themselves instantly entranced by f.i. 'Howling At The Throne Of Decadence' and 'Golden Tides', while diehard doom acolytes will be immediately reassured that Gaz's ability to pen timeless riffs remains entirely undimmed, as demonstrated on the grandiose grit of 'Into The Ivory Frost' and 'Children Of The Night'.

Former members of Soulpreacher, Anthony Staton (vox and guitar) and Michael Avery (guitar and fx), along with Eric B. (drums) created Horseskull to plunge a heavy stake into the heart of the masses. Recently joined by keeper of the low end, Robb Hewlett, on bass, it's time to Turn Up, Tune Down, and DOOM OUT. There are definitely traces of Eyehategod, Cavity, Church Of Misery and Electric Wizard to their pulverizing doom, but there also is enough Sabbath, Vitus, Frost, and Bathory to their southern Satanism that made it easy to differentiate them from the rest.

ETERNITY - ETERNITY
Originally recorded in 1979-'80 and released on a private label in 1981, many of the songs on Eternity's s/t LP originate from an earlier period in the '70s, giving this basement hard rock release an "out of time" quality. Led by the confidant vocals of Wallace Stoneking and the "human-riff" creativity of Frank Monroe, Eternity created a groove-oriented, no frills brand of hard rock, capturing the flair of their heroes existing a decade prior. This set is sure to please fans of '70s proto-stoner, hard-rock, "out of time" private press treasures, and your uncle who still drives that 72 Camaro. For fans of Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, Nazca Line, Led Zep, Magi, Leaf Hound and Stagefright. 24-Bit Remastering. Includes one bonus track taken from a non-LP 45.

WORMWOOD - WORMWOOD
Driven by a bestial, hard-hitting mid-tempo grind and a distinctly unpolished, ugly, and bottomless bass rumble, the wheelhouse of this band is clearly the rhythm section. Above the maelstrom, the guitar alternates a discordant ooze with effect-laden sludge atmospherics and consistently unsettles you with brutally effective tritonal dissonance before spacing out in smooth doomed slow jam riff territory (sometimes within a single phrase). In the length of 18 minutes and 5 tracks they will keep your head bobbing even as the groove wobbles and weaves in gruff almost-disharmony.

FLOOR (USA) - OBLATION (BLACK) (2LP)
Edition on black vinyl! FLOOR are back! In the wake of their self-titled debut album 'Floor' (2002) and the three full-lengths they released as TORCHE between 2005 and 2012, Anthony Vialon (guitars, vocals), Steve Brooks (guitars, vocals) and Henry Wilson (drums) present 'Oblation'. Adding a dose of doom and a dash of drone, this new opus perfectly encapsulates FLOOR's trademark desert rock sound of shimmering heat, the pound and stomp of heavy engines, and a burning taste of diesel in the air. Recommended if you like bands s.a. TORCHE, CLUTCH, KYLESA, BARONESS, KYUSS, RED FANG, MASTODON, HARK, ASG, HIGH ON FIRE, ELECTRIC WIZARD...



HARK - CRYSTALLINE (2LP/BLACK)
Great bands often rise from the ashes of another. Spawned from the remnants of British heavy rockers TAINT comes HARK. Throughout HARKs debut album "Crystalline", angular riffing, pummelling rhythms and dually melodic and unrelentingly ferocious vocals courtesy of former TAINT frontman (and acclaimed graphic artist) Jimbob Isaac lead to galloping passages that show the maturity of a band far more honed than their age belies. Featuring guest vocals from Neil Fallon (CLUTCH) and mixed by Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE), HARKs "Crystalline" is one of the best rock records in years! Recommended if you like: TAINT, CLUTCH, KYLESA, BARONESS, RED FANG, MASTODON, ASG, TORCHE, HIGH ON FIRE, FLOOR, ELECTRIC WIZARD



KYLESA - ULTRAVIOLET (GREEN)
Shifting effortlessly from heavy hard rock riffs to punk-infused beats to even barren cold wave concoctions, 'Ultraviolet' sees the group progressing in fascinating ways. Transparent Green Gatefold LP (500 copies).



OCEAN CHIEF - UNIVERSUMS HARD
Limited edition of 500 copies on black vinyl with an insert. Ocean Chief's fifth full-length release! Compared to their previous album 'Sten', the tempo has been increased and the songs are a lot shorter and more melodic. Nevertheless, they retain an ominous bite that leaves your mind searing. A second guitarist was recruited to fill a perceived void in the sound. For fans of YOB, Ufomammut, Conan, Bongripper, etc.



SAINT VITUS - LILLIE: F-65 (BLACK)
Seventeen years after their last album and nine years after their reunion, SAINT VITUS finally return with an album that will cement their status as true icons of Doom. The US legend is back and stronger than ever with "Lillie: F-65". Bow down and enjoy this soon to be SAINT VITUS classic!

SEPTICFLESH - TITAN (2LP/SPLATTER)
Transparent clear with splatters 2xLP limited to 300. 'Titan' is the power of darkness made manifest in music. Guitarist Christos Antoniou, who passed his academic studies of classical composition with honours and distinction, already proved his prowess for orchestration with 'Communion' (2008) and 'The Great Mass' (2011). Yet on 'Titan', the musician shows a new level of maturity in his use of classical instruments within a metal context, hiring once again the services of the FILMharmonic Orchestra Prague. With Fotis Benardo's inhuman drum patterns and vocalist / bassist Seth "Siro" Anton's demonic growls coming straight from the Underworld, 'Titan' actually stands an otherworldly, godlike album.



WEEDEATER - SIXTEEN TONS (BLACK)
Edition on black vinyl! Following Weedeater's massive 2001 debut, 'And Justice For Y'All', the crushing second full-length 'Sixteen Tons' kept the buzz growing the following year, while critics were still struggling to put a tag on their sound. Nearly everybody agreed that stoner rock, doom, sludge and some crusty elements were part of the mix, which the band simply calls "weed metal". Produced by renowned engineer Billy Anderson (EYEHATEGOD, NEUROSIS), 'Sixteen Tons' now is available on vinyl for the first time. Recommended if you like ELECTRIC WIZARD, EYEHATEGOD, BONGZILLA, BUZZOVEN, SOURVEIN, SLEEP...

AMENRA - AFTERLIFE (BLACK)
Gentle acoustic guitars instead of distorted amps, wandering beauty instead of raging brutality, wailing melancholy instead of desperate fury. Opposed to the mercilessly grinding doom/sludge mantras of their renowned 'Mass' releases, Amenra chose a more subtle approach on the painful darkness that is 'Afterlife' - spreading a lugubrious and melancholic atmosphere. Post-hc pioneers Amenra deliver an album with completely acoustic songs, far removed from the long, repetitive and hypnotizing songs they made their trademark off. The A-side holds three melancholic acoustic tracks whereas the B-side is composed of their mirror-reflections, all of them sharing emotions of infinity. Edition of 250 copies on black vinyl.

PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE/STONER/SPACEROCK - EP (10")



IRATA/SOLAR HALOS - SPLIT 10" (CLEAR)
Limited to 100 copies on coke bottle clear vinyl. Only few available! Both bands offer spacey psychedelic rock/metal to lose your entire mind to. Irata's 'Semjase' is a hard rocking blast of psychedelic space rock/stoner metal with sludgy undertones. Elements of Torche and Kylesa at times being launched into outer-space can be heard. Solar Halos continue their great sound of psych space rock riffs which they perfected on their debut album. It's the louder of the two tracks as it starts with a heavy thumping riff to startle the senses to. This is a superb 10" single showcasing two similar bands with stunning riffs of their own to conquer the world with.

PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE/STONER/SPACEROCK - LP (Album)



BASK (USA) - AMERICAN HOLLOW
With roots in Americana, stoner metal and post-rock, Bask is turning out their own brand of doom. Psychedelic, heavy, and scenic songs weave through sections of driving riffs, thundering percussion, loose grooves and glimmering guitar. All topped with vocals that conjure spirits of old country crooners. That's all you need to know.

CRESSIDA - CRESSIDA (GER)
Reissued on 180-gram vinyl, presented in a gatefold sleeve. In 1970 Cressida originally released their self-titled debut-LP on the Vertigo label. Cressida was a progressive rock unit that was heavily influenced by classical music. This music is for those that enjoy the softer side of prog. 'Depression' is the hardest rocking song on the entire album, showing a side of the group that should have brought them to fruition and success a lot quicker. This is a great collectors piece and another album to add to your collection with reference to the history of British Prog-rock.



HALASAN BAZAR - HOW TO BE EVER HAPPY
In 2012 Moon Glyph introduced cassette collectors to Copenhagen's Halasan Bazar and their magnum opus 'How To Be Ever Happy'. Though it feels like yet another discovered relic, like a lost offshoot of Fairport Convention forgotten and gathering decades of dust in storage, 'How To Be Ever Happy' comes from the whittling down of a massive oeuvre written between 2008 and 2010 by Fredrik Rollum Eckhoff. 'How To Be Ever Happy' has now been remastered for a vinyl pressing. "Psykedelisk Merseybeat" ~Dagbladet Information. "A wiry psych-pop fever dream" ~Pitchfork.



WEED - WEED
Originally released on Philips 6305096 in 1971. Weed were formed by former Virus-members bass player Reinhold Spiegelfeld, singer Bernd Hohmann and guitarist Werner Monka after the first Virus incarnation split at the end of 1970. There are rumours that Uriah Heep organ player, Ken Hensley, contributed to this project simply called Weed. From 1971 till today no one knows exactly what was excactly going on because unfortunately the album sleeve didn't list the line-up. There are 6 tracks on the album which were composed by concert promoter Bodo Albes and Rainer Goltermann, household producer of Philips made sure the sessions in the Windrose-Dumont Time studio in Hamburg. Whether Hensley played on this album or not the album sound is very similar to the Uriah Heep sound between 'Salisbury' and the follow-up album 'Look At Yourself'. 'The Crack In The Cosmic Egg' authors Steven and Allan Freeman are right, when they compared it to other German heavy rock stars of the era such as Blackwater Park, Epitaph or Armaggedon. This Uriah Heep versus "Krautrock-crossover-album" is a must have for each lover of Krautrock. Comes as reproduction of the original cover sleeve with additional insert.

BRUTALLY DECEASED - BLACK INFERNAL VORTEX
The nine songs on this LP take the heritage of the band's 2010 debut 'Dead Lovers Guide' and cast it further down the abyss. Thirty minutes of totally uncompromised, raging and raw-as-fuck exersisions in the classic sound of the Swedish death, yet with its own rabid-like flair. Though old-school, this music is vital and ready to kill!

They are vocalist and bass-player Schmier, best known as frontman of DESTRUCTION and HEADHUNTER, guitarist Herman Frank (ACCEPT, VICTORY) and drummer Stefan Schwarzmann (ACCEPT). As for the album title, 'Send Them All To Hell' was almost mandatory, as these are the first words to be heard on the record, with Schmier whispering them into the mic. If you like it heavy, more melodic or if you dig Speed Metal, then PANZER will hit you right between the eyes.

ELECTRIC WIZARD - WE LIVE (2LP)
DOOM METAL CLASSIC FINALLY BACK IN PRINT!! Considered by many to literally be 'The Heaviest Band In The World', Electric Wizard is more like a cult than a band.

This, combined with the crustiest gravity defying Doom riffs and drones, Electric Wizard have one mission: To Destroy!



HEADQUAKE - INTO THE SPIRAL (BLACK)

KHUNNT - DEAD EYES
Formed in 2006, Khunnt have fervently explored the boundaries of esoteric music, from minimalist noise to live improvisation and psychedelic mantra. Focusing exclusively on a more aggravated and blighted composition, 'Dead Eyes' reflects the band's most recent forages into noise and sludge. Comparable to works by Corrupted, Khanate and Noothgrush, the bleak and at times unbearable landscape of 'Dead Eyes' is a passage of hypnotic despair. "Dead Eyes displays a fearsome mastery of their sound, erecting walls of feedback and distortion only to tear them down with bare-fisted riffs and wraith-like howls. Powerful stuff - Highly recommended!" - Boomkat

HAZZARD'S CURE - THE UGLY
Hazzard's Cure play a wizardly hodgepodge of bearded stoner metal, gritty sludge, and blackened thrash with some truly ripping guitars. PRESS QUOTES: "...The Ugly is primarily concerned with the task of hacking faces to ribbons, but there are a couple moments where the band allows their softer, prettier side to emerge - like a tiny glimpse of a rainbow in a spill of dirty oil." -Last Rites. "They have a lot going for them, and have found a unique way to blend black metal, crust punk, doom, sludge, and stoner metal all into one weird and sinister concoction." (8/10) -Doomantia.

A real gem for fans of classic hard rock like Jethro Tull or Wishbone Ash, and even those into '70s epic metal and such mysterious obscurities as Legend ('From The Fjords') or even guitar-driven southern rockers like The Outlaws. Hypnotic vocal hooks and a mystical atmosphere, mixing acoustic and electric guitars, lure you into this group's unmistakable hard rock sound and never let go. Comes with re-mastered sound and includes an informative lyric insert and colour poster.

ATRIARCH - AN UNENDING PATHWAY
After two critically beloved records on Seventh Rule and Profound Lore, ATRIARCH make their Relapse debut with their finest moment yet. Blending death rock, doom, black metal, punk and psychedelic drone/noise, Atriarch immediately establish themselves as one of the most creative and compelling heavy-music bands of the 21st century. Imagine goth-legends Bauhaus as covered by Eyehategod, or The Sisters Of Mercy filtered through Neurosis, and you start to get the picture.

BLOOD FARMERS - HEADLESS EYES
Cult New York doom band BLOOD FARMERS deliver their 2014 full-length, influenced by the downer-rock of BLACK SABBATH and the psychedelic horror films of the '60s and '70s.

FISTULA - VERMIN PROLIFICUS
This is one slow band on a label known for putting out blistering fast bands. FISTULA plays evil, down-tuned sludge metal in the vein of 16 and CATTLE PRESS and have remained active for more than 15 years. When you hear this 2014 offering you'll understand why this label jumped on this release... It is one twisted, crushing, slow but eye-gouging release with sparse but crucial fast parts. This is the release to grab after a terrible day at work when you need some audio catharsis.



FLIGHT OF SLEIPNIR - V (2LP)
Limited double-LP (black vinyl) gatefold edition with three bonus tracks. Odin's eight-legged horse slides again by land, water and air of the Nordic underworld.

KAUAN - MUISTUMIA (2LP)
180-gram+ Black 2xLP limited to 250 copies. Through ambient post rock/metal band Kauan's growth and experimentation, its sound and production has vastly improved since its humble beginnings as a band of teenagers in remote Chelyabinsk, Russia. It was decided while in between labels to privately crowdfund the professional recording of a collection of re-arranged tracks from the band's early years. The release was intended only for a core group of 53 individuals, but the demand for the release was too high. It is now being presented in a limited run of high-quality digipack editions with official artwork.



LEPROUS - BILATERAL (2LP)
The incredible avant garde stylings of Leprous are presented at their pinnacle here on the band's sophomore album 'Bilateral', pressed on vinyl for the first time in history and cut at 45 RPM for optimum fidelity! These Norwegian newcomers rose quickly to the scene's attention as Ihsahn's back up band, but the proof is stronger than the pudding because these guys' album material is amazing. This album is what is largely considered to be their masterwork, a blend of smooth prog and surprisingly destructive melodies -- something beyond compare and all their own.

LUSITANIA - LUSITANIA
Debut release! Deviant and terrorizing black metal, featuring members of GAY KISS, DEALING, SACRED FLOWERS and DETACHED OBJECTS. For fans of cold-blooded malice and no looking back.

BLOODY MARY - BLOODY MARY
Bloody Mary's only album (featuring former members of Sir Lord Baltomore) has been compared to some of those major British hard-rock acts like Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and even reminds of Warhorse on Vertigo. Originally released in 1974 on Family Production, now on compact disc!

DIABLO BLVD. - FOLLOW THE DEADLIGHTS
Exactly three years after the well-received 'Builders Of Empires' release, Diablo Blvd. returns with the third studio album, 'Follow The Deadlights'.



DODSFERD - A BREED OF PARASITES
A dizzying and unexpected release, and one that will no doubt draw you in again and again. Dodsferd, hailing from Greece, makes some of the most fucked up, psychedelic and original black metal today. The riffs are totally black metal, but at the same time bring some comparisons to crust punk, in a good way.



GRAND MAGUS - GRAND MAGUS
REPRESS. Ddebut album from these Swedish Metal Masters is available once more. Since its release, Grand Magus have earned the reputation as being one of the convincingly heavy bands around at the moment. Vocalist, JB, has since earned global success outside of the band with his role as lead vocalist of Spiritual Beggars, the band masterminded by Mike Amott, Archenemy, Carcass etc. He was recently listed as 8th best Metal vocalist in the world, according to the readers of BURRN! Magazine, Japan. The music on this record takes us back to the very origins of the bands initial style, which was a lot more hard rock and heavy blues influenced. Whilst the band have maintained, and indeed expanded on the Doom elements to their sound, the overall approach these days is absolute sledgehammer metal. 1. Ulvaskull 2 Summer Solstice 3. Brotherhood Of Sleep 4. Baptised In Fire 5. Chooser Of The Slain 6. Food Of The Gods 7. He Who Seeks Shall Find



GRAND MAGUS - IRON WILL
REPRESS. The new Gods Of Metal with their world slaying fourth album. Comes with limited edition A2 poster featuring amazing Arik Roper artwork. GRAND MAGUS hail from Sweden. They have a singer who can wail like Dickinson, growl like Halford and swagger like Coverdale. They play monstrously heavy guitar riffs that groove, rattle and roll like those of Doom legends KYUSS and KARMA TO BURN.



LEVIATHAN - TRUE TRAITOR, TRUE WHORE
Leviathan is one of the most creative and prolific entities in the black metal genre. Emerging from the Bay Area a little over a decade ago with a slew of demo releases, Leviathan initially gained widespread recognition for their debut, 'Tenth Sub Level Of Suicide'. This bizarre, surreal opus from 2011 is the most progged-out Leviathan album to date.



OM - LIVE
Inspired by classic '70s bootlegs, Al Cisneros wanted to capture the raw live feel of their 2013 European tour on vinyl. Housed in a plain white sleeve with a paste on wraparound cover, OM's 'Live' harkens back to the days when you rifled through the back bins of your local record store searching for the latest "import" releases from Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Limited to only 700 copies for retail, and pressed on Acapulco Gold coloured vinyl.

OMINOUS RESURRECTION - OMNISCIENT
Ominous Resurrection revives the flame of old black metal, conjuring the darkness, mystery, and mysticism that once ruled the genre. 'Omniscient' is a journey into the darkest corners of the human mind; the great gates of hell shall open for the initiated. Omniscient are those who broke the chains of religious dogma, Omniscient are those who received the wisdom of Lucifer, and Omniscient are those who carry the flame of Satan in their hearts! A.M.S.G.



RIGOR MORTIS - SLAVES TO THE GRAVE
After the tragic loss of guitarist Mike Scaccia, who got struck by a massive heart attack and collapsed while performing on stage, Dallas/Ft.

ROTTING CHRIST - AEALO (2LP)
DELUXE VINYL EDITION!!! 'Aealo' is the tenth full-length album by Greek band Rotting Christ. 'Aealo' differs from the standard formula that Rotting Christ has developed over the years by bringing in a number of collaborators. Whether it's someone expected, like Alan Averill of Primordial, avant-garde pianist Diamanda Galas covering one of her own songs alongside the band, or something far removed from the heavy metal genre, like a traditional Greek women's choir, Rotting Christ have found ways to expand their core sound without needing to completely reinvent themselves.



WATAIN - RABID DEATH'S CURSE (2LP)
REPRESS. 'Sworn To The Dark' should convince any doubter of black metal's power. It's heavy, it's fast, and it's more evil than a cathedral full of sex-starved priests. Jagged hooks slice through 'Legions of The Black Light' and 'Storm Of The Antichrist'. The title track is a juggernaut of storming tremolo picking and mighty choruses. 'Underneath The Cenotaph' is a holy-shit assault of blackened thrash, while 'The Serpent's Chalice' ends with somber Iron Maiden harmonies. 'Darkness And Death' stomps out grim, steel-toed chords. 'Stellarvore' closes the casket with toms thundering out death. Once out of the studio, Watain is strictly blood-soaked business. - Metal Injection



WAYFARER - CHILDREN OF THE IRON AGE
WAYFARER came together in 2012, after recording an instrumental demo the previous year. With the lineup complete, the band then cut its teeth playing out in the burgeoning Denver underground, and began work on their debut album 'CHILDREN OF THE IRON AGE'; a lengthy epic of blackened atmospherics interwoven with entrancing acoustic passages and driving, powerful post-metal soundscapes.

Limited 250 copies on black/white swirl vinyl. LP comes with an 8 page booklet. The 2012 full-length finally give a deserved vinyl treatment.

'Thaumiel' is a sign of both the bands heritage and progress. In music, concept and beliefs OFERMOD colligates with the likes of Funeral Mist, Mortuus and Ondskapt.

Tracks like 'Holy Roller', 'Hard Rock Hell', 'Own Worst Enemy' and the title track are simply perfect and will stuck in your brain forever.

MORGUE - THE PROCESS TO DEFINE THE SHAPE OF SELF-LOATHING
2002's critically acclaimed 'The Process To Define The Shape Of Self-Loathing' by France's MORGUE is finally made available on vinyl. This milestone of relentless blasting is a blitzkrieg attack over senses. Extreme metal as an incinerating definition and purposedly cold, MORGUE calculate through blistering speed and grooves.



ORDER OF APOLLYON - THE WORD AND THE DAGGER
Formed in 2008 by BST and Daniel Wilding (now in CARCASS), in those days respectively guitarist and drummer for ABORTED, THE ORDER OF APOLLYON's aim is to incarnate the word and the wrath of God. Their debut album was based on the dichotomy opposing the material world, the world of the flesh, and the world beyond matter, bathed in His light and His glory. Now the band's second full-length, recorded with a renewed line-up, showcases an even more radical approach to both their music and lyrics. There's a wider range of influences, ranging from raw orthodox black and death metal, to martial industrial music. Fans of a.o. BEHEMOTH, MORBID ANGEL and POSSESSED should take notice!

SATURNALIA TEMPLE - TO THE OTHER
LIMITED EDITION COLOURED VINYL WITH EXCLUSIVE BONUS TRACK. SATURNALIA TEMPLE is black magic metal, a dark spiritual vortex rooted in heavy and hypnotic sounds, a pure voice of the Draconian magical tradition. On the band's second full length the strong occult and dark magical backbone is more prevalent than ever, and as a band that actually started before the current occult trend there are no fetishistic hoods, blood or pentagrams. 'To The Other' is a relentless journey through the downfall of the world and the rise of the individual against the grain. Its title, 'To The Other', is to signify that it is a gift from the band to both the Other Side, and to all that is in the shadows, in the other side of existence, that which has been neglected by the everyday world of light. The recordings feature US drummer Tim Call (ALDEBARAN, HOWLING WIND, NIGHTFELL...). Suitable for fans of CELTIC FROST, HELLHAMMER, ELECTRIC WIZARD, a.o.

SOLEFALD - WORLD METAL. KOSMOPOLIS SUD.
With the album, 'World Metal. Kosmopolis Sud', Solefald challenges the listener with its complex musical diversity, taking the listener on a surreal adventure to truly unique musical settings and sound constellations yet to be discovered. Merging raw Norwegian metal and Dutch techno with Norse and African folk and rhythms, Solefald has beyond doubt crafted an out of the ordinary sound. It's world music with a black edge.



WHITE ARMS OF ATHENA - WHITE ARMS OF ATHENA
A bold and adventurous exploration of technical and progressive metal at its most creative. WHITE ARMS OF ATHENA's s/t full-length was recorded with acclaimed producer and Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou (Every Time I Die, High On Fire, Kvelertak). This 2014 album proceeds in a new direction from their acclaimed 2011 full-length debut 'Astrodrama', featuring a mélange of experimental progressive passages with a psychedelic-infused ambience.

WOMAN IS THE EARTH - DEPTHS
Atmospheric black metal. The passionate sophomore full-length from these three brothers located in South Dakota offers three extended tracks.



XIBALBA - TIERRA Y LIBERTAD
The Los Angeles California five piece, infamous for their deliriously heavy hc death metal, prove once again that their colossal clout outweighs the sum of their contemporaries. 'Tierra Y Libertad' finds Xibalba in their most threatening form yet, forcibly colliding elite 90s death metal with reckless down-tuned doom tones and fist-swinging beatdowns which slam harder than a head-on collision. The breakdown, once stigmatised but now a crucial signifier of a savage new breed in extreme metal, has become Xibalbas crippling modus operandi, refined over the course of their career and reimagined as a new terrifying beast, creating a nefarious intensity on Tierra Y Libertad usually only reserved for majestic black metal, transcendental doom and post-metal, but here hewn from furious violence. Here are 45 minutes and eight tracks of head-turning brutality.

Brothers of the Sonic Cloth bring together the collective and extensive musical histories and experience of the three members in the worlds of punk, hardrock and metal.



CAMEL OF DOOM - PSYCHODRAMAS: BREAKING THE KNOTS OF TWISTED SYNAPSE
Kris Clayton, a former live guitarist for experimental dirgers Esoteric, performed all the instruments on 'Psychodramas' and handled much of the recording himself (vocals were captured by Esoteric's Greg Chandler), but the self-released, hour-long full-length wants nothing for texture, and is rich in its wash of heavy guitars and crushingly dense rhythms. Owing influence to the likes of Godflesh and the trailblazing cosmic doom of Ufomammut and YOB, extended tracks like 'The Anger Of Anguish' (13:21), 'From The Sixth Tower' (11:47) and the massive apex of the penultimate 'Machine Of Annihilation' (21:09) hone in on a massive feel like space gone slow, Clayton's shouts echoing in from deep reaches while shorter set-pieces like the intro 'To Purify The Air', 'In This Arid Wilderness' and the outro 'So It Is Done' add to the ambience. When PINKFLESH meets the GODFLOYD. Limited edition of 300 copies on coloured vinyl, including a download code.

INQUISITION - INVOKING THE MAJESTIC THRONE OF SATAN
At long last, INQUISITION's 2002 album 'Invoking The Majestic Throne Of Satan' receives a proper vinyl edition in deluxe packaging. Here, Inquisition both defined and RE-defined black metal; the ideology and esoterica of true Satanism imbues everything the duo do across this monolithic, minimal-is-maximal work and yet personalized in such a manner that bespeaks absolute devotion to the darkside.



LORD FIST - GREEN EYLEEN
Through time and space, conscious and subconscious, there flows a secret stream. The metaphysical river of steel, timelesness and mysticism. The stream of Heavy. Inside this record, there is preserved a journey. An epic journey on this everflowing stream of Heavy Metal. The soul of this music is like a hidden valley in the flames of war. True, hidden and timeless, now finally grown ready to rise to glory. There are riffs, towering beyond the highest northern peaks, making the world tremble and crack, revealing the core essence of Heavy. It provides a path and a vision not faltering to fillers or mediocrity. This is the champion, the standard-bearer in these weary times. The New Wave of Great Heavy Metal.

DEAD END 5 - DEAD ENDS (+7"/BLACK)
Black vinyl, 300 copies. With bonus 7". Dead End 5 is one of those bands who sorely need rescuing from obscurity. A relatively successful album back in the day, their debut full lenght 'Dead Ends' (1976) was needlessly forgotten after the band split up a few years later because of lead singer Annika Salminen going for a schlager solo career. Dead Ends couldn't be further away from schlager pop - the band at the time were rough, nasty and loud, and Salminen's vocal delivery rocks hard. With several original compositions and a couple of choice cover cuts, the album is a blast. The original covers are expanded to gatefold format with liner notes and rare photos.

HELA - BROKEN CROSS (BLACK)
Gatefold, black vinyl ltd to 300. Hela is a doom metal band that tries to reconcile the two main styles of doom, the dirty heavy riffing of the 70's, and the melancholic and dark atmospheres from the British and Scandinavian bands from the early 90's.



HOUSE OF CAPRICORN - MORNING STAR RISE (BLACK)
Edition of 300 copies on black vinyl, with download. Morning Star Rise is the third full length from The House of Capricorn, an apocalyptic devil rock troupe from New Zealand. Within its nine tracks of doomed rock n roll, the album encapsulates the last three years of The House of Capricorns infernal service.Manifested at the bottom of the world, Morning Star Rise is an unholy, antipodean hymn to a looming end, all in the blinding light of the Devil. Drawing from the rowdy darkness of Babylon Whores, the gloom of Type O Negative, and all kinds of scathing Black Metal, the record is a culmination of rich influences and pitch black aesthetics, all presented in lurching rock n roll form with honest, Hellish intent.



LEVIATHAN - TRUE TRAITOR, TRUE WHORE
Leviathan is one of the most creative and prolific entities in the black metal genre. Emerging from the Bay Area a little over a decade ago with a slew of demo releases, Leviathan initially gained widespread recognition for their debut, 'Tenth Sub Level Of Suicide'. This bizarre, surreal opus from 2011 is the most progged-out Leviathan album to date.

Although both members play in the critically acclaimed Botanist, LOTUS THIEF is to be viewed as its own separate entity.



NECRODEATH - THE 7 DEADLY SINS
The 11th studio album from Italy's veterans of extreme metal, Necrodeath. "Nine storming tracks which exude the sort of technical menace one has come to expect from such gifted warhorses." ~Metal Forces Magazine. Limited to 250 hand-numbered copies.



NIGHTSATAN - NIGHTSATAN AND THE LOOPS OF DOOM
Edition on green vinyl, including a DVD. Limited to 300. NIGHTSATAN caught the ear of the attentive laser metal enthusiast with their debut album, 'Midnight Laser Warrior', in 2010, and now the trio debut as movie stars in 'Nightsatan And The Loops Of Doom'. The movie draws inspiration from the very same source the band does: '80s post-apocalyptic science fiction. 'Nightsatan and the Loops of Doom' is a proud tribute to vintage Italian post-apocalyptic sci-fi. It is a very unusual short epic, full of sex, violence, and general sense of wonder. The soundtrack album is a considerably more epic and measured affair than its predecessor. Recorded and produced by the band's second keyboard wizard Mazathoth, the album features full-length versions of all tracks from the movie. Contrary to the synthy debut, Loops of Doom has several guest musicians and even string instruments. The retail package contains both the soundtrack and the movie, loaded with juicy bonus features.

SLEEP OF MONSTERS - PRODUCES REASON (BLACK)
Edition on black vinyl with bonus track, gatefold sleeve and download.

SVART RECORDS, having recently reissued the entire Babylon Whores back catalog on vinyl, are proud to, in conspiration with the band, offer the album for worldwide consumption. Chock-full of radio-friendly yet still spine-tinglingly witty, snotty, and deathly melodic mlange of acidic rock, cadaverous crooning, and Pink Floyd-type siren choirs, SLEEP OF MONSTERS Produces Reason is an album that many in Finland already considered a classic.



VAINAJA - KADOTETUT (COL)
Limited 200 coloured. Vainaja is a three-headed metal band from Finland. Taking influences from early 90's death metal and doom, their debut album 'Kadotetut' is one of the heaviest records ever made in the Finnish language.

The album also showcases what a genuine guitar virtuoso Obsidian C truly is. Epic extreme metal at its best! Edition on black vinyl.

LAZER/WULF - THE BEAST OF LEFT AND RIGHT
LAZER/WULF is an instrumental metal trio, which sometimes includes vocals. But they might as well be decribed as a funk group with thrash roots, or a jazz trio with sludge issues... 'The Beast Of Left And Right' was written/meant to be a palindrome, explained by the band as follows: "As far as the symmetricality, we wrote the album to be a palindrome, meaining it's the same backwards and forwards. The album is in two distinct halves, Left and Right, and we wrote them to be the "opposite" of each other.



MUCK - YOUR JOYOUS FUTURE
MUCK is a fresh and urgent exponent of the vibrant Icelandic creative underground. Formed in Reykjavk in 2007 due to a shared love for all things raw and heavy, the band has organically crafted its riotous sound from its hc roots.

This is an essential release for fans of cult entities such as Leviathan, Negative Plane, Lurker Of Chalice, Deathspell Omega, Katharsis and early Nachtmystium.

BLACKFOOT - MARAUDER
Reissue on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, including an insert. In the pantheon of Southern rock bands, Blackfoot was not only one of the most exciting, but also one of the most consistent. Released in 1981, 'Marauder' was the band's fifth full-length, and it's generally regarded as the last truly great Blackfoot studio album. Produced by manager Al Nalli and Henry H-Bomb Weck, the sound is tight but loose, allowing the songs to amplify their southern rock linage to the max. 'Marauder' is packed with essential tracks, including the rampaging 'Good Morning' and 'Dry County', the anthemic 'Payin' For It', the reflective ballad 'Diary Of A Working Man' and the epic 'Searchin'. This is one of the finest southern rock albums ever recorded.



CALLISTO - SECRET YOUTH (2LP/BLACK)
Double-LP on black vinyl. The fourth full-length from the respected post-metal unit from Finland. The music on this release is less progressive and sounds tighter than on its predecessor, 2009's 'Providence'.

DEAD IN THE MANGER - CESSATION
On 'Cessation', DEAD IN THE MANGER follows up the band's 'Transience' debut from 2014 with six new stages in the grief process, resolved in their adherence to dispiriting melodic atmosphere and frenzied black carnage, ever reaching upward yet inevitably pulled down into the mire.

HEAVYDEATH - ETERNAL SLEEPWALKER (BLACK)
Edition on black vinyl. Following a number of demos, here's the long awaited debut full-length from Heavydeath. This Swedish trio delivers exactly what the band name promises, 'heavy death' music. The material was recorded with only a drum-kit, a bass and a guitar, and without overdubs. Inbetween the heavy riffage there also are some chanting vocals, here and there.



HORN OF THE RHINO - SUMMONING DELIVERANCE (2LP)
Though the trio has been around for some ten years, this is Horn Of Rhino's most adventurous and ambitious work yet. Fronted by the soulful voice of Javier Galvez, on 'Summoning Deliverance' the band's unique mixture of sludge, grunge and thrash reaches unexpected new and heavy dimensions.

GRAVELAND/BIALY VITEZ - OGIEN WILCZYCH SERC
Limited 150 copies edition on black vinyl in gatefold sleeve. The majestic and powerful sound of Graveland on a split album with the atmospheric sounds and folkish rhythms of Slavonic legends Bialy Vitez.



MORTUUS - GRAPE OF THE VINE
Mortuus returns with their second full length album, 'Grape Of The Vine', reeking of the same despair and hopelessness of the first album, 'De Contemplanda Morte: De Reverencie Laboribus Ac Adorationis (2007), and that of their self-titled 7" (2005), both released by The Ajna Offensive. The band's previous work was exalted for a feeling of being "lightless" and "dreary as hell" and characterized by the ubiquitous references to "atmosphere"- being a bleak, hopeless, mid-paced exaltation of death. It might sound trite given the dearth of bands touting their authenticity and grimness within the realms of death and black metal, but a simple reading of the lyrical content here simply belies the fact that there is an egregore that penetrates deeper than that of skin and mortality. This new material finds the band exploring the dark tunnels and empty shells that lurk beyond the shallow grave previously mined on the first full-length. And, as with the previous material, the sound is clear and organic and chillingly eerie. 'Grape Of The Vine' offers a panorama of death's landscape slightly more dimensional than that of the first album - not so much so that people will question the fleshing out of the implements deployed, but enough that people will not accuse the band of repeating the past.



WASTED - FINAL CONVULSION (BLACK)
Unreleased 1985 album by Danish heavy metal masters WASTED. The band released their debut 'Halloween... The Night Of' in 1984 on Midas Records. Now - 30 years after these recordings were made, 'Final Convulsion' is officially released for the first time in a collaboration between Denomination and WASTED. This heavy metal outfit suits anyone with interest in MERCYFUL FATE, EVIL, JAGUAR or WITCHFINDER GENERAL.

HEXIS/THIS GIFT IS A CURSE - SPLIT 7"
On this epic split, Denmark gives us the bleak, avant-garde black-metal meets HC approach of HEXIS, while Sweden delivers the aural assault of technical HC via black sludge from THIS GIFT IS A CURSE. No ears will be the same after listening to the over 11 minutes of darkened noise these bands have offered here. This long-awaited split record is the epitome of extreme music today. Beautifully presented in fold-out covers, with printed inner-sleeves, and pressed on 70-gram heavy-weight vinyl.



POWERTHRONE - SHADOW KNIGHTS
Originally supposed to come out on Reinig Records (Night Demon, Bunker 66), these are the very first recordings from Powerthrone from California. Imagine galloping and shredding 1984 black/thrash, the rawness of Sodom ('In The Sign Of Evil'-era) combined with the atonal riffing of early Celtic Frost. The whole pace is almost punk in its crudity, the G.B.H. cover is probably not just a random choice. Pressing of 500 copies, with a thick cardboard jacket, insert, and an outer plastic bag.

IN.SI.DIA - GUARDA DENTRO TE

KOLLWITZ - DISSONANCE (2LP+CD)
Double-LP editon, including a free CD. 'Dissonance' is the excellent follow-up to the band's 2010 debut, 'Like Iron I Rust'. On this self-produced set the songs are shorter, sharper and perhaps more unsettling than on its predecessor.

ZOLDIER NOIZ - REGRESSION PROCESS
Zoldier Noiz from France have been active since 1999 and this is their second album, following 2009's 'Schizoid Reject'. What we get is rousing old school metal at its best. It's raw thrash, sometimes bordering crust and sometimes accelerating to neck-breaking speed, with harsh and throaty vocals and a general "fuck you all" attitude. There's an unpolished analogue sounding production which is just perfect for this sound. Limited to 400 copies on black vinyl.

LIMITED EDITION DOUBLE COLOURED 180 GRAM VINYL. British heavy metal legends SATAN are releasing their first official live album to celebrate their live debut appearances on the North American soil in support of their latest and very successful album 'Life Sentence' released on Listenable in April 2013. Originating from Newcastle, England in 1980, known as part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement.

'To The Other' is a relentless journey through the downfall of the world and the rise of the individual against the grain. Its title, 'To The Other', is to signify that it is a gift from the band to both the Other Side, and to all that is in the shadows, in the other side of existence, that which has been neglected by the everyday world of light. The recordings feature US drummer Tim Call (ALDEBARAN, HOWLING WIND, NIGHTFELL...). Suitable for fans of CELTIC FROST, HELLHAMMER, ELECTRIC WIZARD, a.o.

KEHLVIN/FLESHWORLD - TO DENY EVERYTHING THAT'S MUNDANE
During their 2013 Orchard Tour across Europe, the Swiss lads of Kehlvin have met the Polish guys from Fleshworld and after a night of furious drinking, they decide to do a split album together.

Thus the concept of the album evolves around science, various philosophical problems and dissatisfaction with certain beliefs. The story is told through five, interwoven tracks (three by Kehlvin and two by Fleshworld), each regarding a different stage of the subjects life.



KORN - LIFE IS PEACHY
KoRn are one of the best-selling Nu Metal bands on the planet. Of their 8 studio albums the first 7 have all been certified platinum. The demise of the band L.A.P.D. was the starting point for KoRn. The remaining members (Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, James "Munky" Shaffer, David Silveria and Brian "Head" Welch) were looking for a new singer, found Jonathan Davis, and KoRn was born. The result was 1994's oRn'. The huge amount of time they spent touring paid up, assuring them of a fanbase buying their future albums. Their second album was ife Is Peachy' (1996), which reached No.3 on the Billboard charts and achieved platinum-selling status. 'Life is Peachy'continues right from where the debut had left off, but this time around, KoRn would bring some new, refreshing and quite unexpected surprises to the table, such as in the playful "A.D.I.D.A.S." ("All Day I Dream About Sex"). With lyrics that reached out to many post-grunge teens after the suicide of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, backed up by a wall of heavy toned-down guitars and loud in your face hip-hop drumming, KoRn prepared themselves for a worldwide breakthrough that would happen soon after.

Edition on black vinyl. Hailing from NYC, guitarist-vocalist Christian Gordy, drummer Taryn Waldman and bass player Justin Sherrell offer a jammy, smokey take on doom, melding Sleep's mammoth riffery with a wobbly, supremely distorted Saturnalia Temple vibe. With Blackout things truly get loud and heavy!

DESOLATION ANGELS - SWEETER THE MEAT
The cult NWOBHM London band returns with this stellar release! 5 tracks presented on the mini CD self released by the band in 2014 and one exclusive vinyl track which is a long instrumental track where the band explores their 70s influences. The vinyl cover art is different than the CD. Includes a lyric insert. 'Metal Man' will be their new anthem!

Featuring well known names such as AK (Brujeria), Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Brujeria), Roel Klomp (Born From Pain) and Sofia M. L. (Vace Solis, Lodge), this release strikes the GRIND scene as lightning!



MIDNIGHT MESSIAH - THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL
Paul Taylor and Phil Denton, after ending the NWOBHM cult band ELIXIR, opened a new chapter with MIDNIGHT MESSIAH. This brilliant debut album is one of the best British Steel releases in many years! Midnight Messiah seem to catch where Elixir's 'Son Of Odin' left off, a true modern day answer to the 1986 classic but at the same time with their own identity, given the perfect balance between the youthful energy of younger members and the know-how of the songwriting veteran duo of Paul & Phil. The future of British Heavy Metal shines on!



PALACE OF THE KING - WHITE BIRD - BURN THE SKY
From 3-minute funk-infused rockers through to 7-minute Sabbath-esque crushers, PALACE OF THE KING has seized the opportunity to explore every intricate corner of their late '60s-early '70s (psych, heavy blues and hardrock) influences and craft a debut album that captures a band at a point where scratching the surface isnt nearly enough. Standby for an album that tears apart the 100-year history of the blues, adds a distinctly modern edge and smothers a 'no holds barred' attitude across 44 minutes worth of hook-laden, riff focused rock and roll. PALACE OF THE KING has just as much in common with RIVAL SONS, GRAVEYARD and JACK WHITE as they do with LED ZEPPELIN, BLACK SABBATH and DEEP PURPLE.

TOMB AND THIRST - WRATH
TOMB AND THIRST is a three-piece featuring KEVIN WIGGINTON (Sea Of Bones, Gilead Media) on drums and vocals, DAVE LUTZ (ex-Sea Of Bones, Gerard Gerard) on guitar and vocals, and STEVE ROSS ( ex-Coup De Grace) on bass and vocals. They incorporate elements of doom, grind, and power-violence into their sound. 'Wrath' is released in a limited edition of 150 copies, packaged in black on black folder jackets and including a download. The LP plays at 45 RPM.

CAPILLA ARDIENTE - (COL) BRAVERY, TRUTH AND THE ENDLESS DARKNESS
Edition on coloured vinyl with a gatefold cover, insert and woven patch. Following the band's 12-inch EP, 'Solve Et Coagula', Capilla Ardiente's first longplayer consists of four epic apx. 10-minute compositions, an atmospheric instro and a haunting interlude. Capilla Ardiente (from Chile) is the brainchild of Claudio Botarro (bass) and Felipe Plaza (vocals), whon are joined by Julio Borquez (guitars) and Francisco Aguirre (drums). Botarro and Plaza also play with fellow doomsters Procession. However, there is a fundamental difference between Capilla Ardiente and Procession, neither of which is a mere side project but both are full-blown bands.



CORRUPTED - NADIE (BLACK)
Edition of 400 LP's on black vinyl with white speckles, housed in a nice gatefold sleeve including a poster. THis is the first everr vinyl pressing of this 1995 CD-only EP.

...IT INCLUDES ELECTRIC GUITARS' - The debut album by Swedish metal band Deadheads. Edition on ultra clear vinyl, including a lyric sheet.



DESTRUCTOR - (BLACK) FOREVER IN LEATHER
Limited 366 copies black vinyl including 4-page lyric insert. 1986s "Maximum Destruction" album on Auburn is an eternal Thrash Metal classic - no doubt about that! In the following years Destructor still carried on playing live and putting out (rather low-key) releases but somehow they would not be able to repeat the masterstroke of their debut album. Until now that is ... There latest offering "Forever in Leather" is the ultimate follow-up to "Maximum Destruction".



DOOMDOGS - DOOMDOGS (BLACK)
Limited 150 copies black vinyl in gatefold sleeve with poster. Swedens 'Doomdogs' play a mid-paced version of slightly uglified stoner/doom with crust and doomcore-ish elements. Sort of like mixing Crowbar and a slowed down Kyuss with Neurosis and Cult Of Luna. A real heavy experience!



HELLBRINGER - (BLACK) DOMINION OF DARKNESS
425gsm cardboard cover, lyric sheet, poster, black vinyl Hellbringer is an Australian Thrash/Speed Metal band formed in 2010 and previously known as Forgery.



HIGH SPIRITS - (COL) ANOTHER NIGHT
limited to 250 x coloured vinyl, lyric sleeve, poster "Another Night" (with a nice shot of the band's hometown Chicago on the front cover) is High Spirit's follow up album to their successful self-titled debut longplayer. In actual fact, it might as well be called their "proper first album" as "the white album" was only a collection of demos in the very beginning. Chris agrees: "The self-titled album only became an album after the fact. It's a compilation of demo recordings that were made for fun. So, it's been very satisfying to see how far these songs have spread! We made a lot of really cool fans simply with music. Even selling ten copies on this basis is satisfying."



MANILLA ROAD - (COL) THE CIRCUS MAXIMUS (2LP)
230 x blood red vinyl, downfold gatefold cover, poster, insert. Everybody who is familiar with Manilla Road's fine and criminally underrated body of work will know that 1992's Circus Maximus is the odd one out. Originally the album was supposed to be released as a Mark Shelton solo album. But this was not to be.



SATAN'S HOST - VIRGIN SAILS (COL)
The 11th album by Colorado's Satanic metal masters. Edition of 350 copies on bronze coloured vinyl, with heavy cardboard cover and insert. Satanic Heavy Metal has one name: Satans Host! Having been around for more than 35 years, these guys from Denver, Colorado now deliver their 11th full-length studio album "Virgin Sails". It shows the veterans of heavy satanic worship at their best, and even better. The songwriting has matured, the ideas are brand new, but the long loved trademarks stay the same: Satans Host have been known for seamlessly combining elements from Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Thrash Metal, Death Metal and Black Metal, serving a unique brew straight from the Dark Lords chalice.

AHAB - THE BOATS OF THE GLEN CARRIG (2LP)
German nautic doomers Ahab have not only created their very own subgenre, they are also incomparable dabblers in solemn melancholy! Based on William Hope's novel 'The Boats Of The Glen Carrig', the album of the same title is the band's magnum opus, gracefully nestled in between slow-motion anthems and haunting melodies.

BENEATH THE STORM - DEVIL'S VILLAGE
Mysterious Slovenian sludge doomsters BENEATH THE STORM return with a concept album based on the cult classic movie 'City Of The Dead' (starring Christopher Lee as The Professor, and Patricia Jessel as The Infamous Witch).

CATHEDRAL - THE VIITH COMING (2LP)
A limited edition DOUBLE-LP reissue of this 2001 metal classic.



DIEMONDS - NEVER WANNA DIE
The members of The Diemonds have no bloodstreams running underneath their skins - they have the Sunset Strip! Quite peculiar come to think the five-piece hails from Toronto, Canada. The second album by the band surrounding sexy frontwoman Priya Panda has been produced by Eric Ratz (Billy Talent amongst other) and boasts voluptuous Sleaze and Hard Rock that is out to kill. These lethal gems offer so much more on 'Never Wanna Die', including massive singalongs, a snotty punk attitude, mean shredding and sleazy anthems, all fighting for dominance.

FUNERARY - STARLESS AEON
Funerary, a band from Phoenix, AZ, plays doom metal with progressive and cosmic elements. The download version of 'Starless Aeon' was in plenty best of 2014 lists.



GRIME - (BLACK) CIRCLE OF MOLESTERS
Edition of 200 copies on 180 gr black vinyl, presented in a full-color gatefold sleeve with lyric insert. Newly founded Argento Records has confirmed the labels first title, with the impending release Circle Of Molesters, the second LP from Trieste, Italys corrosive sludge quartet, GRIME. Their sound is rooted into rotten burial grounds and their songs are the sound of a decaying swamp filled with trash. Their slow and heavy groove is filthy and vicious, guitar riffs are sharp and covered with rust, drums and bass hit with the unstoppable power of a mud avalanche. And their only goal is bringing destruction to a town near you. Following the release of their independent debut EP in 2011 and their dominating 2013-released debut LP, Deteriorate (Forcefield Records/Mordgrimm), GRIME oozes forth with their most brutalizing display of gutter-born, diseased sludge metal yet with Circle Of Molesters. Like a volcano rupturing megatons of rotting flesh, for nearly forty minutes the bands gnarly scourge will suck you into the darkest depths of suffocating death, yet all the while taking their petulant tonal attack to new heights, integrating more body-mangling dynamics than ever. Bringing this auditory destruction to life, the band enlisted the recording and mixing work of sound engineer Lorenzo Stecconi (Ufomammut, Amen Ra, Zu) and final mastering duties to Brad Boatright (Sleep, Corrosion Of Conformity, Nails) at Audiosiege, both factors helping shape every bit of the bands tonal wrath to thundering clarity.



JACKSON FIREBIRD - SHAKE THE BREAKDOWN
Brendan Harvey and Dale Hudak a.k.a. Jackson Firebird have proved for the second time that it only needs two guys to raise pure rock fury hell! 'Shake The Breakdown' is so much more than just a cock rockin' affair though: the Australian duo invites us to a wild rollercoaster ride through several styles while rattling our bones with stoner attitude. At the same time this album gives us a glimpse at the unbound and raw energy that Jackson Firebird unleashes on stage: shake it!

KING HEAVY - KING HEAVY
Featuring the vocalist of Belgian doom metal act Hooded Priest, KING HEAVY hails from Chile. And more importantly, King Heavy rocks! Aside from strong elements of Candlemass and of the more traditional doom metal sound, the band offers tons of EPIC arrangements and a twisted touch that definitely reminds of Black Sabbath's 'Born Again', Celtic Frost's 'Into the Pandemonium' and the early, darkest side of Danzig. LP-VERSION.

LIMB - TERMINAL
LIMITED EDITION ON TRANSPARENT WHITE AND PURPLE VINYL, including a download. Following Limb's 2014's s/t debut album, 'Terminal' is a down-tuned and dirty barrage of monumental riffs. The guitars are all rolling fuzz. The bass is low, warm and weighty. The drums pound, and vocalist Rob Hoey's roar resounds through it all. This album is guaranteed to blow your ears, speakers, and minds!

MAGISTER TEMPLI - INTO DUAT
Focusing on the theme of Egyptian Mythology, 'Into Duat' is the second full-length from the Norwegian occult heavy metal band MAGISTER TEMPLI. As far as the music goes, heavy guitars, intense drumming and authoritarian, preaching vocals are the key ingredients. LP-VERSION.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Compact Disc



BLACK CAPRICORN - CULT OF BLACK FRIARS
Two witches and one warlock from Cagliari, Italy, make up Black Capricorn, and between them they create slow, swirling doom metal that is dark and relentless. 'Cult Of Black Friars' is often hypnotising - the fuzzy guitars of Fabrizio Monni crawl along with a creeping insistence, while his vocals are grim and echoing.



BRETUS - THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH
Bretus delivers a '70s inspired album with ideas as loud as the riffs! For fans of Saint Vitus, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.



NIGHT GAUNT - NIGHT GAUNT
NIGHT GAUNT from Rome play some of the grimmest, most intoxicated and creeped-out sounding heavy doom coming out of The Boot these days. Their riffs are absolutely crushing and the rhythms, while slow and slimy, are also unrelenting and totally punishing.

Recorded with an slightly renewed line-up, 'Eternal Winter' is the second chapter in Northwind's 'Winter' saga/concept! This excellent French band, that started out in 1990 as R.I.P., combines heavy doom with influences from the '70s folk underground and progressive rock. CD-VERSION.

ANNIHILATOR - SUICIDE SOCIETY
The 15th album by this Canadian heavy metal band. The album marks the return of guitarist and bandleader Jeff Waters on lead vocals, due to the departure of vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dave Padden in December 2014. It also marks the return of bassist Cam Dixon, who was in the band from 1994 to 1995, as well as the addition of new guitarist Aaron Homma. The LP includes a free download code.



BLACK BREATH - SLAVES BEYOND DEATH (2LP)
Slaves Beyond Death arrives three years after BLACK BREATH's 2012-released 'Sentenced To Life', a revered album of morbid metal anthems laced with a deadly allure that few could resist. A foul den of thrashing potency, reanimated hc muscle and icy death metal, it's a record that partly sets the tone for this nefarious third chapter of the band, but it's safe to say that Slaves Beyond Death represents a harder, bleaker BLACK BREATH than ever before.



GRIME - (BLACK) CIRCLE OF MOLESTERS
Edition of 200 copies on 180 gram black vinyl, presented in a full-color gatefold sleeve with lyric insert. Amsterdam-based Argento Records' first title is 'Circle Of Molesters', the second LP from Trieste, Italy's corrosive sludge quartet GRIME. Their sound is rooted into rotten burial grounds and their songs are the sound of a decaying swamp filled with trash. Their slow and heavy groove is filthy and vicious, guitar riffs are sharp and covered with rust, drums and bass hit with the unstoppable power of a mud avalanche. And their only goal is bringing destruction to a town near you. Following the release of their independent debut EP in 2011 and their dominating 2013-released debut LP 'Deteriorate' (Forcefield Records/Mordgrimm), GRIME oozes forth with their most brutalizing display of gutter-born, diseased sludge metal yet with 'Circle Of Molesters'.

DEVIL WEARS PRADA - SPACE EP (+CD)
The Devil Wears Prada is by no means a newcomer. In over eight years the band has sold over 750.000 albums (five releases have sold over 100.000 copies). The 'Space' EP is a solid reminder that they are here to stay. This vinyl edition includes a free CD-version.



DOZER - THROUGH EYES OF THE HEATHENS
On vinyl, this is Dozer's fourth full-length 'Through The Eyes Of Heathen'. Active since the late '90s, Dozer quickly progressed beyond the early influences and created a sound of their own.

With the release of 'Through The Eyes Of Heathens' strats a new chapter in the life of Dozer.

HOPE DRONE - HOPE DRONE
A repress of this Australian band's 2013 debut-LP. HOPE DRONE combines elements of all kinds of extreme metal, including death, black, doom and ambient and create their own unique sounding hybrid.

On 180-gram vinyl and including a download. One of the greatest live rock albums of all time!

THOU - HEATHEN (2LP)
DOUBLE-LP VERSION. THOU's fourth full-length combines the melody and hopefulness of 'Summit' with the heaviness and melancholia of 'Peasant' and 'Tyrant'. One of the heaviest sludge bands that anyone has ever heard.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Compact Disc



ATHEIST - ELEMENTS (+DVD)
'Elements' by ATHEIST is the final chapter in the story of a band many years ahead of its time. Its complex arrangements fuse disparate sounds such as delicate jazz, deep funk grooves, Latin rhythms, flamenco guitar stylings and samba interludes with blistering metal chops to create music that confused as many as it pleased. This CD includes six bonus tracks and a bonus DVD full of previously unreleased footage! Deluxe digipack edition, limited to 2.000 copies.



GNAW THEIR TONGUES - ESCHATOLOGICAL SCATOLOGY
The highly rated 2012 album by the Dutch cult band appears on CD for the first time. This work presents Gnaw Their Tongues in a more straight forward fashion, resulting in an extra harsh and noisy delivery of merciless black metal.

LEGION OF ANDROMEDA - IRON SCORN
Diabolical in its minimalist approach, this album from Tokyo-based duo LEGION OF ANDROMEDA unleashes a grinding nightmare of violent, industrial doomdeath. And it's topped off with repulsively bestial vocals that frequently devolve into psychotic gibberish or rabid, snarling vocalizations, all of which lend an unhinged vibe to this rigid, skull-flattened dronedeath assault.

NIGHTFELL - DARKNESS EVERMORE
Having further fortified that ominous fusion of shadowed disharmony, Nightfell marches forward with 'Darkness Evermore', a commanding display of power, tension and dynamics. Ranging from short respites to epics stretching past the ten-minute mark, the album's blackened guitar harmonies and bleak melodies provide a somber counterpoint to the massive, imposing riffs strewn about like bodies on a wartorn field.

FLIGHT - DON'T LOSE IT
This youthful four-piece from Norway shows itself more than adept at summoning the aura of the late New Wave Of British Heavy Metal in all its blue-collar, earthy glory. Yet more than a love for the gritty riffing, earnest melodic vocals and twin harmony leads of the late-'70s and early-'80s, and beyond the fantasy landscapes and dangerous women of the lyrics, 'Flight' is possessed of chutzpah, bravura and unpretentious zest that taps into something more enduring and primal.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - Maxi Single

SERPENTS LAIR - DEMO MMXIV
The vinyl version of a stunning 2014 demo. Serpents Lair is a notable representative of the new breed of Scandi Black.

METAL/HARDROCK/THRASH/DOOM/SOUTHERN ROCK - LP (Album)



DARK BUDDHA RISING - INVERSUM
Since the 2008 debut 'Ritual IX', the ensemble known as Dark Buddha Rising has mastered its craft album by album, show by show. Ominous riffing, colossal doom, swirling psychedelia, repetition, repetition, repetition. The recipe is carved in stone, yet it leads to different endings-or bottomless shafts. Tension, tension, tension, lunacy. 'Inversum', the band's fifth studio full-length, is the opening of the Third Cycle of Dark Buddha Rising. 'Inversum' is a monument built upon the foundation of their past work and is sculpted with the initial principles of Dark Buddha Rising to celebrate the Black Arts of Psychedelia. Hold tight. The winds are gathering.

FLIGHT - BAD OMEN
A vnyl only album release from Norway's FLIGHT! This youthful four-piece shows itself more than adept at summoning the aura of the late New Wave Of British Heavy Metal in all its blue-collar, earthy glory. Yet more than a love for the gritty riffing, earnest melodic vocals and twin harmony leads of the late-'70s and early-'80s, and beyond the fantasy landscapes and dangerous women of the lyrics, 'Flight' is possessed of chutzpah, bravura and unpretentious zest that taps into something more enduring and primal.

FUNERAL MOTH - DENSE FOG (2LP)
Double-LP version of this impressive album by the Japanese extreme doomsters. Funeral Moth is made up of (ex-)members from other Japanese bands such as Coffins, Psycho To Black, Realm and Deathchurch. Justin Hartwig from Mournful Congregation contributed excellent lead guitar.

HOWLING WIND - VORTEX
The Howling Wind, a duo featuring Ryan Lipynsky (Unearthly Trance, Serpentine Path) and Tim Call (Aldebaran), presents its fourth album, the follow up to the critically-acclaimed full-length 'Of Babylon'.

There are nine songs in total, including a cover of 'Reapers Of Satan', originally by Swedish black metal band WAR.

REALMBUILDER - BLUE FLAME CAVALRY
The third album by the NY-based intellectual doom metal duo.



REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER - EXILE
Following their striking first album, 'Exile' takes the listener on a wandering quest illustrated by oppressive atmosphere, monumental riffs, thundering bass and tortured vocals. Mixed and mastered by Francis Caste at Sainte Marthe studio, 'Exile' is more than a mere sequel. REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER delivers an accomplished work in an imposing and epic second album while continuing to explore biblical themes illustrating how Man manipulated and judged by divine figures who despise them and feed off their weakness and desire.



V8 - UN PASO MAS EN LA BATALLA
A vinyl reissue of an important 1984 metal album from Argentina, recorded by a politically conscious band. Limited to 500 copies on glorious black vinyl.



VREID - SOLVERV (2LP/BLACK)

KYLESA - EXHAUSTING FIRE (BLACK)
BLACK VINYL! KYLESA has returned as challenging and daring as ever on this seventh full-length, 'Exhausting Fire'! Moving well beyond their trademark riffs, 'Exhausting Fire' sees core members Laura Pleasants and Phillip Cope expanding and evolving. The dualism of Pleasants' versatile singing and Cope's shouted vocals melds perfectly with the constant change in sound. Shifting effortlessly from heavy hard rock riffs to punk-infused beats to even barren cold wave concoctions, 'Exhausting Fire sees KYLESA progressing in ways never thought possible and is undoubtedly one of the best records of 2015!

CARCASS - SURGICAL STEEL (2LP)
CARCASS has been fully reanimated and its safe to say, the band hasn't missed a pathological step. In an era seemingly content to endlessly chug away at the e-strings in various rhythmic denominations, CARCASS has brought the power of the riff back to a generation. Songs like 'The Master Butchers Apron','Unfit For Human Consumption', 'The Granulating Dark Satanic Mills, or 'Noncompliance To ASTM F899-12 Standard' are sure to become classics.

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX - NEW DARK AGE (2LP/BLACK)
Edition on DOUBLE BLACK VINYL, with one side etched and presented in a gatefold sleeve. CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX have confounded critics trying to pin their style down ever since multi-instrumentalist Justin Greaves recorded his first ideas in 2004, after making himself a name as drummer for IRON MONKEY and ELECTRIC WIZARD. With the 'New Dark Age Tour EP 2015 A.D.' the eclectic UK rock band continues to subconsciously draw from influences as diverse as TYPE O NEGATIVE and PINK FLOYD, the latter receiving a respectful yet unique homage in the shape of a 37-minute cover version of the classic composition 'Echoes'.



GRAVE DIGGER - EXHUMATION, THE EARLY YEARS (+7")
Grave Digger spearheaded the Teutonic Metal scene in Germany in the early '80s. This compilation presents a new take on the band's classic recordings in a wristful look back to the '80s. The selection reaches beyond the debut and subsequent hit albums like 'Witch Hunter' and 'War Games', with new takes on classic favorites such as 'Shoot Her Down', the unforgettable opening track from the first Grave Digger demo from 1982! Also included is 'Stand Up And Rock' from 1987's 'Stronger Than Ever', which was originally released under the cross-over attempted band name 'Digger' (now a rare and highly sought after edition).

DOUBLE-LP on BLACK VINYL, presented in a gatefold sleeve. With 'A Furrow Cut Short', DRUDKH continues on the course charted with the previous release 'Eternal Turn Of The Wheel' (2012), on which the black and bleak sound of the Ukrainian band's roots seemed to overshadow the progressive and lighter tone of 2010'S 'Handful Of Stars'.

GHOLD - OF RUIN (BLACK)
Intrinsically heavy and elastically supercharged, Ghold creates a strain of viscous rock that is as plainly devastating as it is capricious, pushing down the scales in a myriad of manners to achieve an ever heavier outcome. The wealth of ideas presented by Paul Antony and Aleks Wilson on 'Of Ruin' surpass the imaginations of the majority.

BLACK BREATH - SLAVES BEYOND DEATH (2LP)
Slaves Beyond Death arrives three years after BLACK BREATH's 2012-released 'Sentenced To Life', a revered album of morbid metal anthems laced with a deadly allure that few could resist. A foul den of thrashing potency, reanimated hc muscle and icy death metal, it's a record that partly sets the tone for this nefarious third chapter of the band, but it's safe to say that Slaves Beyond Death represents a harder, bleaker BLACK BREATH than ever before.

LAST COPIES!!!! HeadQuake were formed in the early 90s by members of well known bands of international fame such as: Villa 21, Melting Ashes, Spiders Web, Raw, Jesus Toy, No Way Out, Lazy Suns, Black Static. Their sound is an original mature yet explosive hard rock mixture of well crafted stoner & grunge elements that brings to mind bands as Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, Spiritual Beggars & Nightstalker, as well as Pearl Jam, Alice in chains. They have original compositions and orchestration plus a distinct, intense playing parallel to no other band that derives from their numerous studio & concert offerings through the last 15 years of music involvement in front or even behind the console. Carrying their rich experiences consisting of various music genres and their love for pure straight rock sound of the harder kind are bound to be original and quite hard to be confused or copied!

Limited edition of 200 copies on ORANGE VINYL. KYLESA has returned as challenging and daring as ever on this seventh full-length, 'Exhausting Fire'! Moving well beyond their trademark riffs, 'Exhausting Fire' sees core members Laura Pleasants and Phillip Cope expanding and evolving. The dualism of Pleasants' versatile singing and Cope's shouted vocals melds perfectly with the constant change in sound.

SAINT VITUS - DIE HEALING (BLACK)
REPRESS. 2LP black vinyl. 'Die Healing',the seventh album by doom metal pioneers Saint Vitus, which was originally released in 1995 by Hellhound Records.

SOLSTAFIR - SVARTIR SANDAR (2LP)
Available again. 2LP gatefold sleeve. The Icelandic music scene as a whole is filled with odd music, and Solstafir is no exception to this. The tag "Viking metal" just doesn't cut it with this multiheaded mutant, a strange hybrid never meant for mainstream consumption, even though some of the clear vocals recall Scandinavian folk melodies. Solstafir is a real anomaly, not only in the realm of metal, but in the universe of music. Imagine if Primordial, Pink Floyd, and Enslaved got stranded in the North Atlantic with a couple bags of magic mushrooms, weed and a bit of alcohol...you'd get something akin to 'Svantir Sandar'.



SUN OF NOTHING - (SPLIT) THE GUILT OF FEELING ALIVE (+CD)

SWEET COBRA - MERCY
At last available on vinyl! The Chicago noise rockers have a sound that rides the line between filthy sludge rock and anthemic hardcore with d-beats metallic undertones and pseudo-psychedelic guitar parts every step of the way. From burly to catchy, they could easily draw comparisons to Quicksand, Murder City Devils or Helmet in the same breath as they are likened to Entombed, Bolt Thrower or Torche.



WEEDEATER - GOLIATHAN (GREEN)
On green vinyl, this limited edition LP (200 pressed) is issued in a gatefold sleeve. Infamous sludge outlaws WEEDEATER finally return with their long-awaited fifth full-length 'Goliathan'. This 2015 album marks the crossroads where true Southern rock and metal meet raw humour, old religion, as well as weed and whiskey. 'Goliathan' embodies the band's trademark shuffle and swagger at its fullest. Syrupy slow riffs are buoyed by canyon-deep bass and some of the hardest-hitting drumming since Keith Moon. Recommended if you like ELECTRIC WIZARD, SLEEP, EYEHATEGOD, BONGZILLA, BUZZOVEN, SOURVEIN...

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX have confounded critics trying to pin their style down ever since multi-instrumentalist Justin Greaves recorded his first ideas in 2004, after making himself a name as drummer for IRON MONKEY and ELECTRIC WIZARD. With the 'New Dark Age Tour EP 2015 A.D.' the eclectic UK rock band continues to subconsciously draw from influences as diverse as TYPE O NEGATIVE and PINK FLOYD, the latter receiving a respectful yet unique homage in the shape of a 37-minute cover version of the classic composition 'Echoes'.

THIS GIFT IS A CURSE - (BLACK) ALL HAIL THE SWINELORD (2LP)
THIS GIFT IS A CURSE vomit forth a steady stream of pitch-black venomous hate. The Swedes passionately demonstrate that black metal remains fertile ground for new sounds. Combining elements of hardcore and sludge with influences from occult black metal as well as drone, 'All Hail The Swinelord' sets a new benchmark for vitriolic viciousness and massive sonic onslaught. Edition on BLACK VINYL.The Canadian band's fifth album, arguably its most fervent release, is a manifesto of rejection: rejection of the groundswell of mediocrity within the scene, rejection of compromise as a means of embracing of a wider audience, rejection of the dogma and strictures of religion and the trappings of the feeble social slave.



HATE ETERNAL - INFERNUS (DIGI)
HATE ETERNAL remains true to its original formula, while continuously pushing the boundaries of the band's extreme, aggressive and technically complex style. Founded in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1997, the band faithfully keeps the death metal spirit alive as this long-awaited sixth studio album uncompromisingly demonstrates.

Their crushing and massive first full-length '...And Justice For Y'All' created an immediate buzz, while critics were struggling to put a tag on their sound.

Time to lean back and get high on this WEEDEATER cult classic! Recommended if you like: ELECTRIC WIZARD, EYEHATEGOD, BONGZILLA, BUZZOVEN, SOURVEIN, SLEEP.

APOKALYPTIC RAIDS - THE THIRD STORM
On vinyl, this is a reissue of the 2005 full-length from Brazil's APOKALYPTIC RAIDS, showcasing the ultimate Hellhammer and Celtic Frost worship. However, the band's old-school attack is not meant as a rip-off. Rather it is a referential homage to a classic era and two classic bands, done with a thorough understanding of these ancient metal masters.



CELESTIAL WOLVES - ILLUSIVE LANDSCAPE OF EXPRESSION
LP on 180-gram vinyl. This album marks a change of style for Celestial Wolves. Partly due to the new guitar player, the band adopted a more powerful, heavy style, influenced by post-metal and stoner rock. Nevertheless, the music remains strictly instrumental and appealingly melodic. 'Illusive Landscape Of Expression' is the soundtrack for a tale made up by the listener.



DESTROYER 666 - WILDFIRE (BLACK)
LP on 180-gram black vinyl. DESTROYER 666 started out in Australia, in 1994, as a solo project featuring BESTIAL WARLUST guitarist KK. However, the project soon developed into a respected metal band, nowadays based in The Netherlands. 'Wildfire' makes a complete fist that goes straight into your face. These heavy hymns are made of the essence of metal. There is no "-core", no "post-" or other bullshit on this album, just great hard hitting music.



DIAVOLOS - YOU LIVED, NOW DIE
The debut-album by DIAVOLOS, a five-piece featuring a.o. metal vets Tas Danazoglou (Satan's Wrath, ex-Electric Wizard) and Taneli Jarva (ex-Impaled Nazarene, ex-Sentenced).

GOYA - OBELISK (2LP)
This is a masterpiece limited to 250 units. Heavy weight triple gatefold full color jacket. Double 180 gram maroon vinyl. Includes 12 page poster booklet. Clear spot UV pagan symbols on each cover panel. Mastered specifically for vinyl play back. 'Obelisk' is the second full-length offering from Phoenix, Arizona's three-piece Goya, containing music in the vein of Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, Sleep, etc. 'Obelisk' is a magnificently-assembled album, with the performances ranging from nailed-down to wild abandon in pleasing proportions, and containing strong riffs with a mean edge throughout.



HOLLOW LEG - CROWN
The third album by Florida's sludge doomsters HOLLOW LEG. 'Crown' is a beast made of southern heavy grooves, revealing a sludge approach blended with the stoner/doom tradition. Mixed by Sanford Parker (CORRECTIONS HOUSE) and mastered by Collin Jordan (MINSK), the first edition of the album is available on exclusive beer/swamp green splattered vinyl and limited to 250 copies.

With 'Nekromant', Serpent delivered one of the heaviest albums of 2015. This powerful three-piece from Sweden continues to impress with a gritty, honest and blues-laced beast of a record, offering nine tracks of pure metal groove. This record is clearly not about pleasing the retro hipsters, nor is it about fixing something that isn't broken. Edition on BLOOD RED VINYL.



SLEEP - DOPESMOKER (2LP/COL)
Edition on DOUBLE COLOURED VINYL! This undisputed masterpiece, a 63-minute ode to marijuana, remains unrivaled in the annals of (stoner) metal.

NIGHT VIPER - NIGHT VIPER
Night Viper is a hot-rockin' heavy metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. The first two ingredients in the Viper pie were Sofie Lee Johansson and Tom Sutton (Horisont, The Order Of Israfel, ex-Church Of Misery). As soon as they met, the chemistry started flying and some pure fist-banging heavy metal demos were thrown down. They were joined briefly by Sven Nilsson from Antichrist on drums as well as a few others on guitar and bass, but it was once swing master Jonna Karlsson was behind the kit that things really started rolling.



SABBATH ASSEMBLY - SABBATH ASSEMBLY (BLACK)
Sabbath Assembly's 2015 album marks a new beginning for the band. Sabbath Assembly is, in fact, a decidedly metal offering, for in the writing, the band returned to its own personal roots in the dark age of the '80s.

COFFINS - BURIED DEATH (COL)
Reissue on COLOURED VINYL! Coffins' 'Buried Death', originally issued in 2008, is chock full of low end bass and drums coalesced with psycho-delic guitar work and thick, doomy riffs.



CRUCIFIED BARBARA - IN THE RED
CRUCIFIED BARBARA is Sweden's hardest rocking all-female quartet, playing a fiery brand of rock'n'roll tinged with metal and lashings of punk, pop, thrash and whatever else dares to cross their path. Raw, hyper-commercial heavy metal songs mix knuckle duster brutality with the spiteful caress of pointy painted fingernails.

GERYON - THE WOUND AND THE BOW
Now also on vinyl. New York's avant-garde technical progressive death metal duo GERYON is comprised of NICHOLAS MCMASTER and LEV WEINSTEIN, both of whom are known from Krallice. Employing simply bass guitar, drums and vocals, the pair conjures complex layers of meticulously crafted tones, maintaining a volatile equilibrium of dissonance and melody. 'The Wound And The Bow', the follow-up to 2013's self-titled debut, offers a bizarre, twisted and ultimately unforgettable sonic journey lead by two fearless sonic explorers.



INQUISITION - (BLACK) BLOODSHED ACROSS THE EMPYREAN ALTAR..
...BEYOND THE CELESTIAL ZENITH' - Edition on DOUBLE BLACK VINYL, presented in a gatefold sleeve. With this seventh album the American black metal duo has clearly reached a level of confidence, maturity and mastery of song writing and technical execution. The album will definitely prove to be a next milestone in a career that has already gathered momentum.

SPACE BONG - DEADWOOD TO WORMS (2LP)
'Deadwood To Worms' showcases the evolution of SPACE BONG's intense and focused brand of doom, incorporating elements of sludge, black metal, stoner rock and dark drone. This is a doom record that transcends all that has come before it, seething with a bitter nihilism that longs for meaning and resolution in a world of violent chaos and urban decay.



SWAMP LUNG/TOMBSEALER - SPLIT LP

CRADLE OF FILTH - TOTAL FUCKING DARKNESS (2LP)
At last, after more than 20 years, 'Total Fucking Darkness', the infamous third demo from the UK's notorious Cradle of Filth, is being officially released. Featuring artwork from the twisted visions of Radio One presenter and occult artist, Daniel Carter, the release also includes some previously unheard tracks. The album kicks off with the track 'Spattered In Faeces', the only surviving track from the now mythical 'Goetia' sessions, followed with the recordings from 'Total Fucking Darkness'. Also included is another previously unreleased track, 'Devil Mayfair (Advocatus Diaboli)', recorded at Samhain 1992, plus three more tracks from that session, along with two short instrumental pieces from the band's former keyboardist, Ben Ryan.



DESERT SUNS - DESERT SUNS (BROWN)
Repress of 150 copies on beer-coloured (brown) vinyl. San Diego's Desert Suns is a contemporary band with an old school sound. Their doomy riffs would make one Mr. Iommi proud. The band also uses elements of stoner rock, sludge, psychedelia and blues, so you may prepare yourself for a diverse and intense trip.



EPICA - THE PHANTOM AGONY (2LP)
Repress! 'The Phantom Agony' marked the start of the now decade-long and world-wide career of the Dutch group EPICA. The album was recorded at The Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany, under the leadership of the renowned producer and engineer Sacha Paeth (a.o. Aina, After Forever, Rhapsody, Kamelot) and at its release it was critically acclaimed to be one of the most impressive Dutch Epic Metal debut albums ever. The classically trained mezzo-soprano vocalist Simone Simons is a true revelation, confronting a complete choir & orchestra just as easily as she battles the shrouds clad grunts. But it is the incredible arrangements and production, this band of ex-After Forever guitarist Mark Jansen gives a unique place in Dutch rock history. "Pain and beauty blend into a musical experience that will saturate all the listener's senses", one critic wrote after listening to the overwhelming CD. He could not have put it better. Includes 6 bonus tracks. 2LP on high quality 180 gram audiophile pressing. Deluxe 350 gram carton gatefold sleeve.



JOHNNY TOUCH - INNER CITY WOLVES (BLACK)
Following a demo and two split 7-inches, here's the debut album from Australia's JOHNNY TOUCH. The band's music is truly amazing, with a vocalist combining the best elements of JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN, and METALLICA, and a ripping guitarist who reminds of YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. Edition on BLACK VINYL!



PROPHETS OF SATURN - RETRONAUTS
Hailing from the British Midlands, English psych-metal four-piece Prophets Of Saturn deliver the follow-up to 2013's self-titled debut. Offering a heady excursion into the dope-smoking amplifier-worship of Pentagram, Saint Vitus and Electric Wizard, 'Retronauts' is for neither the faint of heart nor mind. Traversing cosmic ley-lines on an antiquarian journey through the lineage of English proto-metal, a lysergic love of Cream, The Beatles and fellow Midlanders Black Sabbath permeates Prophets of Saturn's sound. LP on BRONZE COLOURED VINYL!

ANGEL WITCH - ANGEL WITCH
Reissued on COLOURED VINYL, this is the 1980 debut-LP by the well known NWOBHM-act.



EERIE - EERIE
Frightening black metal/hard rock hybrid EERIE delivers a lycanthropic lashing with this self-titled debut. 'Eerie' sets the night on fire with traditional black metal and solid and heavy '70s influenced prog.

NEKROKRAFT - WILL O'WISP
'Will O'Wisp' is the first full-length by Nekrokraft. Musically we're talking blackened thrash metal that was forged in an old cold Swedish cellar beneath the Ostrogothia soil. The album holds a brutal yet melodic aura and contains seven occult hymns.

PSALM ZERO - STRANGER TO VIOLENCE
PSALM ZERO takes the aesthetics, poetics and spirit into its second album and blows those elements up into an epic work of wide-screen drama. Rooted in extreme metal, these seven songs feature massive pop hooks and soaring choruses that are catchier and more emotionally direct than any of the band's prior work. With harsh vocals, now less frequent and only reserved for the highest ecstatic peaks, these melody-driven songs embody an accessible song-craft seldom heard in today's metal landscape.



SELVA - ELEO
The 2016 album by Italian stoner-post-metal trio Selva. Compared to the band's previous work, this opus focuses on darker and more introspective soundscapes, with lyrical themes inspired by personal thoughts on how vital mistakes in human relationships can consume a person's mind little by little.



WRETCH - WRETCH
The debut-album from WRETCH comes straight from the heart, the soul and the gut. Their band's doom metal spews forth a fearsome salvo of cast-iron riffage and heartfelt traditional metal heraldry, shot through with a steely conviction instilled by the experiences of recent days. Heavy in sincerity and emotion rather than in pitch and tone, these gritty songs may follow in the lineage and spirit of classic crusaders like Saint Vitus, The Obsessed and Cirith Ungol.
