CURSED – III, Architects Of Troubled Sleep. LP/CD Pre-orders up now!
This is CURSED’s third chapter in their shock and awe program and most likely their best release to date! The CD comes in a deluxe digipack and the LP (180 gr vinyl !!) packaged in a heavy stock gatefold sleeve making the incredible artwork from John Baizley (Baroness) stand out even more. Goodfellow Records will take care of the North American pressing. This first pressing is limited to 1000 copies. 500 come in grey/white/black color-in-color and 500 in beautiful deep black. CURSED will be touring Europe in the spring of 2008. WRAITH, recently signed to Reflections, will be joining them on some of the dates.

PAINT IT BLACK – New Lexicon. CD
PAINT IT BLACK’s New Lexicon was not easy to produce, but it's gritty, thunderous and ugly-just the way hardcore punk should be. New Lexicon marks PAINT IT BLACK’s first recording with new drummer Jared Shavelson (Hope Conspiracy, None More Black) and boasts guest vocals from Jeff Pezatti (Naked Raygun). With little debate, this is PAINT IT BLACK’s finest hour ...or, half-hour, anyway, with 15 songs clocking in at a dizzying 30 minutes, 26 seconds. PAINT IT BLACK - New Lexicon. CD will hit stores February 19, 2008

BLACKLISTED – Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God. LP
We’re really happy to continue working with our friends in Blacklisted. Ever since their debut “We’re Unstoppable” the band has progressed itself and “Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God” is the album that shows a band that has stepped forward, up and beyond themselves. Blacklisted created a record, recorded and engineered by Kurt Ballou @ Godcity, that truly shows how they both musically and lyrically standout above a lot of mediocre music these days.
Release date for “Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God” is April 1st. Reflections will be doing a one-time pressing of 1000 copies for the European territory. Deathwish Inc. is releasing the CD worldwide and the vinyl for the US. Both labels will have pre-orders up soon!

IN OTHER NEWS…
NO TURNING BACK has finished recording their upcoming new album “Stronger”, with a release date set for April 7. You can check out their studio adventures at their website. The band, in their own words, said: “This is seriously the hardest and most furious record we ever made!” ---- Also in the finishing stage of recording is ANNIHILATION TIME, their yet to be named new record will be unleashed on April 29 on both CD and vinyl. We heard a few songs and if you’re like me and love both hardcore punk and (classic) hardrock, there’s only one record you need this year! ---- WRAITH’s upcoming same titled 7” is currently being mastered at West West Side Music and the band played their second show with BLACKLISTED and according to them WRAITH were “…by far the best band we played with this tour!” ---- Also being mastered as we speak is BAD REACTION – Had It Coming, the band’s debut CD. Expect this to drop in April ---- Also in the finishing stage of recording is BLACK ANVIL. Their debut LP/CD “Time Insults The Mind” will be released on our metal imprint label Monumentum Records and those who know metal… real metal (think Hellhammer, Messiah, Celtic Frost, Immortal, Darkthrone) will be stoked! Seriously, forget all that crappy emo-metal BLACK ANVIL from NYC wipes them all away with their blood-soaked-wielding-axes! Fuck, they play their very first show with W.A.S.P.! ---- JUSTICE is playing their very last show on March 8, and rumors are that the very last copies of their last LP “Escapades” will be sold with new, special artwork! BLACKLISTED is will be flying in to play this gig --- For show and tour dates from all our bands, check our website. A lot is happening and you don’t want to miss out, do you? “The only difference between me and others is that they think they can change something with cute little poems, nice cards or embracing trees and being nice to little lapdogs.”– Henry Rollins
