OUT NOW !!!
The woeful second album, for so long dreaded by many, from the Irish grime-bandits Wreck of the Hesperus. Crawling out from their grim festering underground caverns after five years - this new monstrosity shows they have, unsurprisingly, learnt nothing since the pitiful noise of "The Sunken Threshold" in 2006. "Light Rotting Out" is a regressive degenerate musical abomination of fetid, retarded doom. Dirty dissonance from demented dissidents. Guest vocals from Albert Witchfinder.
Comes as gatefold with full printed inner sleeve. 150 pieces of the 500 LPs are in white vinyl.
Mastered for vinyl by James Plotkin.
Track 'Kill Monument' on youtube:

Second shirt is here.
Great artwork from Sylvain again, always easy to recognize it is the Ufo Gestapo kind of art, but always something inspired and sick following the Ufo Gestapo tradition.
Sorry for not ironing it before taking the pictures, I don't own one. But the colors are bright as shit, the pics don't really reflect that.
Shirt is available from sizes S to XL in the following color variations:
- natural white (more of a beige, reminds of a wholefood bag, but looking absolutely cool)
- red
- green
- yellow
11 Euro per Shirt!
Ufo Gestapos third opus 'Grandemissair' is out and it is again their own outer space and hypnotic brew of Sludge and harcdorish outbursts, just driven to a higher level.
A numb and unbearable dwelling within the milkstreet, but then again there is such vehemence, an intoxication of moods is inevitable. As well the vocals have improved to a greater style: here comes some cleaner tone of despair. The screw of weirdness has been driven even deeper, beware the keyboards! Leave this trip cleansed but feeling uncomfortable.
Comes in a glossy, neon yellow sleeve plus inlay. Total amount of 538 LPs of which 165 are on clear vinyl.

But You Rule! Doom Album of the year? Discussable, ok. At least it is the freshest injection to the genre for a long time. Still this has roots goddamn!
Helsinkis Caskets Open develop further the amazing demo and distill their own distinctive blend of cold, extremely violent but still subtle warm sound on this debut LP.
Razorsharp edges in sound and morbid, social aware lyrics. A clichéless mix of drunken, anti-clerical and sleazy DoomPunk, imagine Joy Division fucking roughly with St.Vitus in a dark night on a graveyard.
A superb monilithic gatefold on 350g cardboard rounds this up. The vinyl mastering at the the Exchange Studios UK secured the transformation of the necrophiliac sound to vinyl.
Each copy has a poster of a FEMALE SPAWN OF THE DEVIL WEARING KINKY LEATHER STUFF! 658 copies in all, handnumbered 205 copies of them on limited colored vinyl!

Seems like Marseille is the real Neuschwabenland. Out now is the s/t vinyl rerelease of the first Ufo Gestapo CD that came back in the days on Calculon Records.
This first part of the trilogy has more of the cosmic Korg-synths but still extra desperate vocals and violent as a horde of angry aliens devastating your flat. Again the music dwells between Doom and Hardcore, gloomy slow parts alternate with short outbursts of fast HC-Parts.
This was of course worth a vinyl edition and comes with a great silkscreened real LP 350g cardboard jacket, completely new artwork. There is a limited version of 125 copies in acidic nicotine ellow vinyl and an inlay matching the vinyl. The rest of this 359 copies press comes in black vinyl and b/w inlay.

This LP is the result of a programmed meeting with Julien Dupont (MOTHERFUCKING), Julien Louvet (2 :13 PM, THE AUSTRASIAN GOAT, DEATH TO PIGS), Eric Duriez (PROZACK MAURICE, 2 :13 PM), Gael Moissonnier (MOTHERFUCKING, LA 6e FAUTE) and Samuel Moncharmont (LA 6e FAUTE, BATON ROUGE).It was recorded on july the 9th, year 2011 in a rehearsal room located in Ay-sur-Moselle. It probably contains subliminal fragments of ANTHRAX, SLAYER, MEGADETH or METALLICA, who played not so far away. Improvisation is an attempt to communicate sensitively. Beyond the verb, we’re designing other spaces, marking out new territories, defining our own rites. Twisting and turning into the addition of our individualities. It is, paradoxically, in the momentary abandonment of ourselves that pleasure emerges. This record is a way to document these collusions. Seven fragments from a harnessing which makes sense for those who lived it, and for them the purpose is the process.
300 copies, grey vinyl.

Agipunk:
Namedropping is not necessary because this release ROARS!! Acephalix from San Francisco are the prototype of the hard working band, started in 2008 they have evolved their sound from it’s crust roots after a demo and a 7” and an Lp on Prank Records. Then a couple of self-released tapes sealed the evolution: pure brutality! What you’ll hear is a devastating death metal outburst raised on their crust past, early 90’s US death metal is what comes first to mind but indulging more on power rather than speed. Those two demos finally see the light again on vinyl. "Interminable night" has been originally released august 2010 and "Flesh torn in twilight" in January 2011. Devastation is drawing nearer! 1000 copies press, limited edition comes in 150 copies with colored vinyl and limited poster. Cd version on Southern Lord.

Animalgrind is Future and Future is now. In the first 4 years of their existence Attack of the mad Axeman have proven, that animals are unrenounceable for Grindcore in general – and that even without releasing a Split-EP with Agathocles or Unholy Grave. Now, 'Systematic Death Slaughter' is their third Album and still these guys are sticking to the spirit of true Old School Grind. They deliver you 26 new songs that are straight to the point and as fast as snails and turtles can go. Although there's only three tracks starting with a snare-countdown, this record has everything that decent Grindcore needs: good music and a message. Fuck Porngrind, better read this lyrics, they are fantastic!
Attention: No frogs or pigs were harmed in the production of this record!

Originally started since 4 years and after a bunch of Eps, splits an compilations records, here's finally the second full lenght by THE AUSTRASIAN GOAT, one-man band project leaded by Julien Louvet. After one year of work, this record is built by 9 various tracks, between furious black metal, atmoshperic funeral doom and folk ballads, surely his best and mature work ever. There are also a lot of guest appearances on this album like JARBOE on « Voice of Aenima ».

When crustcore and metal began to cross-over, AXEGRINDER were there to lead the way. Their legacy may have been overshadowed by AMEBIX, but their sole album "The Rise of the Serpent Men" remains an undisputed crust-metal classic. Not available either on vinyl or with original artwork since the original came out in 1989, Svart Records now proudly presents a fully restored gatefold vinyl reissue.

BitterChupChupWeLose are a Hardcore/Stoner/Sludge Metal Band from France
BitterChupChupWeLose play fast-tempo Hardcore/Stoner/Sludge Metal music with a great DIY Punk Vibe. Some of the songs have a great pop edge to them as well.
These guys are influenced by Torche and Baroness as they play the same type of fast-paced tempo Sludge/Stoner Metal songs.
So if you want to hear something a bit different to the Sludge Metal genre but still have the same great superb Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs then you can’t go wrong here. These guys are superb musicians who know how to play a top-notch Stoner Metal riff aided by some damn fine Hardcore/Stoner Metal vocals.
Production is superb on both releases and is both full of top-notch Sludge/Stoner Metal songs to check out time and time again. Both releases are full of action-packed songs to listen to time and time again.
So if you’re a big fan of Torche then check these guys out. As these releases are simply superb. Highly Recommended.

This is the follow up to minimalist black metal weirdos Bosse-de-Nage’s self titled debut. This album was recorded in 2010 by Justin Weis and features a HUGE sound along with the Lousiville-styled post rock (think Slint not Godspeed) and the black metal weirdness that made Bosse-de-Nage’s debut a divisive genre defying classic. This is black metal, but black metal tinged with 20th century minimalism and outlandish vocals.

finally available on vinyl, the bacteria sour cd and the 7" on one lp cavity ( with members of floor, torche ) were one of the leading sludge outfits in the 90's, they, together with bands such as eye hate god, bongzilla..., created this whole sludge thing...
Extracted from the dank and murky swamps of south Florida, Laid Insignificant is brought forth anew, resplendent in all it's misanthropic glory. While the climate of any Cavity album could be considered hostile, Laid Insignificant has proven to be the most unhinged and ferocious occupant in the Cavity stable in the 10 years subsequent to it's original release. With added emphasis on faster tempos, layered chordal discordance, and an overall air of frantic desperation, this may stand if not as Cavity's best album, then certainly as their most furious and scathing.

First vinyl pressing ever for this 1995 cd-only EP. Re-mastered sound combined with a brand new artwork designed for a gatefold sleeve specially by cult japanese phographer Kyotaka Tsurisaki!!! And to top it off, the record comes with a fold-out poster! This is one of Corrupted's first recordings, being one of the world's seminal Sludge bands / recordings. No need to introduce them anymore I guess... Those who want to freak out will be able to play Corrupted at their SLOWEST ever reducing the turntable speed at 33 rpm... haha. A cult release by a cult band on a tiny homemade label...
Vendetta:
After various split releases ( with BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS and BLACK FREIGHTER ) and compilation appearances, CROWSKIN come up with their first full length album, once again exploring the depths of slow, heavy and brutal sludge doom. The record delivers four lenghthy tracks that pend from super-sick slo-mo brutality to bulldozer grooves, from vast melancholic elegies to weird noise freak outs and even some thrash outbursts displaying the hardcore background of these doom punkers. Enjoy the feeling of being buried by a slow flooding, yet unstoppable lava of thick, black sound!

Dephosphorus formed in Greece back in 2008, and I believe "Axiom" is their first recorded output. Included are seven songs/20 minutes of what the band has dubbed "astrogrind", which to my ears basically consists of absolutely raging, top-notch grindcore that fluidly blends in elements of black metal, crust, etc. If we're playing the outlandish-yet-strangely-accurate comparisons game, imagine Catharsis circa "Samsara" practicing in the room next to Burst circa "In Coveting Ways". If you stood outside and recorded both bands practicing at the same time, the listenable elements of that recording would probably sound pretty damn close to Dephosphorus. Expect loads of blasting speed; intense tremolo picking; surging midpaced rhythms; awesome fits of dark, winding dissonance; and occasional bouts of weird, spacey effects that certainly play into the "astral" nature of the band's self-proclaimed niche. They're also working with one of the most uniquely raw recordings I've ever encountered. It's really rugged and in your face, but without coming across as grating. And despite this raw aesthetic, the end result is neither thin nor muddy, so it really adds to their overall atmosphere. This really is some powerful shit, too. It's rare that bands focusing so heavily on blistering tempos and explosive, chaotic arrangements can land on something that's both tangible and forceful, but Dephosphorus makes it look easy. Well done...

Conspiracy:
Not having left their emotionally unstable path of heavy post-rock oaths behind, Envy has cracked open its core and stripped the sound down to its epic essence. Their constant touring has made this Japanese ensemble one of the most talented and accepted acts around. Always passionate and persistent, these three songs are even more diverse than previous classics. Simply elegant, yet still energetic, the songs wander deeply through the thick clouds of post-hardcore guitar dust and channel the remorseless pieces that lead to the dark side. Jesu mastermind, Justin K. Broadrick, freshly wrote, recorded, mixed and produced these two tracks in early 2008. Musically, they are adventurous showing more of their dub step influence and beat-oriented sound. On this new slab, he incorporates melodic twisted pop elements with downtempo heaviness. This creates a stark textured vessel intoxicated by the minimalism of cold techno drama. Jesu holds on to the feeling of eternity, still being a modern day fly machine, yet never loses a transient sight.

Temporary Residence:
More than two years after THURSDAY first put the idea in our heads, Temporary Residence is proud to finally bring together two influential bands from two very different places. Recorded in Spring 2008, both bands turn in some of their most inspired work yet. In addition, Thursday invited ANTHONY MOLINA of MERCURY REV to remix the dark instrumental "In Silence" into the pitch-black closing track, "Appeared And Was Gone," providing the perfect transition into the massive dynamics of ENVY. Beginning with the subtle electronics of the symphonic opener, "An Umbrella Fallen Into Fiction," Envy thrashes and burns through a trio of thoughtful face-melters. Pressed on audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl and featuring original artwork by acclaimed poster artist, DAN GRZECA, this deluxe set includes a free copy of the CD format beautifully incorporated into the exquisite package design.

Originally issued as a cassette tape in 2008, the first run of FELL VOICES' debut demo was restricted to 100 copies and sold out before the band was widely known outside of their local area.
The two epic tracks featured on the demo have never been available in any other form until now. Newly mastered for vinyl, "Theobromo" and "In the Hands of the Blind God" are black metal art at its finest: droning, violent and overpowering. The sound is a vast improvement over the original cassette issue, without losing any of the essentially raw and unyielding character.

After a long wait, Garden Of Worm have unleashed their debut album and it so good that they might just be the best of all the Finnish Doom Metal bands. The album artwork may suggest something cheap and nasty but the music is quite the opposite. What sets this three piece apart from most other Doom acts is how they manage to capture the true essence of Traditional Doom Metal and blend it with 70's Progressive Rock elements without recycling anything from either genre. The sound may get close to the sounds of bands like Revelation at times but there is always a twist to their songs, from Sabbath styled riffing to Iron Maiden styled Heavy Metal progressiveness, these various sound textures usually occur when you least expect it though which leaves you with a album is extremely diverse within the context of a Doom Metal band. They are also real heavy without ever sounding like a typical plodding Doom / Sludge band.
"Spirits Of The Dead" has a apocalyptic atmosphere to start off the album and has a truly retro-doom vibe, the playing is precise and can't be faulted. Blending big riffs with subtle prog-rock inflections that continue to vary and build in dramatic intensity. The next tune "The Ceremony" is even more intriguing and mysterious, while there is some heavy riffing going on, it also has a strong under-current of early 70's occult rock, not that the band is focused on the occult lyrically. Its the vocals that are one of the main elements that makes this band so unique, they are delivered in a clear, half - spoken way that gives a ceremonial vibe to the songs. They bring out the melancholy in the acoustic third track "Rays Of Heaven" while "The Black Clouds" is true ominous Doom Metal. Bursting with a feeling of agony and despair but played with the strange but beautiful time signatures of a Progressive Rock band, this is twisting, turning epic track. The lyrics and music combine to create something emotive and heart-wrenching, you ever heard the Pink Floyd song "Don't Leave Me Now"?, "The Black Clouds" displays that kind of unleashing of emotions. Its not all mellow, tear-jerking stuff however, when the song bursts into a fury of chugging riffing 6 minutes in, its a pure expression of some of the finest old-school Doom song craftsmanship.
"Psychic Wolves" explodes with aggressive, mutated, twisted prog-doom arrangements, there is even passages that come close to sounding like Rush. Strange, unusual and unique, Garden Of Worms are unlike anybody else. "The Alchemist's Dream" has everything all inserted into the one piece of music, chugging doom, knotty progressive sections, noodling guitar lines and apocalyptic but yet melodic vocals. The grand finale, "Hollow" is a 10 minute monster of ever-changing musical genres and textures that keep your ears glued to the incredibly varied sounds. Pouring out pure emotional vocals and some seriously dense riffage, "Hollow" is the most straight-forward Doom Metal track on the disc that manages to remain captivating for its entire duration. If you are already a fan of bands like Dawn Of Winter, Revelation and The Wandering Midget then this should be right up your alley. Garden Of Worm are dark Doom Metal with a Progressive Rock edge that is both intriguing and mesmerizing. Another winner for Shadow Kingdom Records. 9/10

With crushing intensity and ominous fervor the United Kingdom’s Ghast unleash their debut album May the Curse Bind on wax. For those familiar with the British trio, you know to expect nothing but unrelenting monolithic doom encrusted with ashy black metal majesty. On their debut album, Ghast have crafted some of the most sinister and terrifying audio terror around. Furthermore May the Curse Bind’s pressing to wax is indisputably a harbinger of mankind’s ever nearing end. Having formed in 2004 as Souldust, it is unthinkable that in four years the outfit developed such a profoundly mature and cohesive sound, a sound that could result from none other than absolute dedication to misanthropy and grimness. This release is one more step toward eradicating the trendy weaklings plaguing the supreme black arts in these harrowing times. Needless to say, it is absolutely mandatory for anyone who claims dedication to the supreme legacy of Black Metal as well as Doom Metal. May the Curse Bind is pure fucking black doom.

Absurd Creature:
The first full length album (apart from some demos) by Tuscan stoner-sludge-doom rockers. The band originates from beautiful Florence and by nature it makes perfect soundtrack for a spaghetti western by Sergio Leone starring Lee Van Cleef and Clint Eastwood, flavored with metal riffs and punk intensity! Sound waves with might equal to sandstorm power devour the hard-boiled listener making him feel as a lonely tumbleweed with parched throat and lips covered with sun scorched sores. Sledgehammer pieces of the Agua Caliente LP as midday heat are replaced with night chill of muted guitar passages, where one can hear wind howl and echoing bullets whistles. …BANG-BANG-BANG…- “Well it’s not your lucky day, amigo!” GUM managed to embody skillfully their own unique approach to music though not violating the chosen genre specific features. With no lack of originality GUM without one’s bare word can be easily compared with “inglorious” heroes like – early, CAVITY, EYEHATEGOD, BONGZILLA and KYUSS. Yet with all these flattering comparisons music by the Florentine gang is highly all-sufficient and ingenious.

Hells Headbangers:
The second full-length album is now complete! Deemed to be the grand master of unholy darkness and black perversion, "Kembatinan Premaster" destroys all past work & is the definite Havohej ritual to be observed by ALL devotees of the genre. Easily the ultimate contender on the bestial black throne of metal to deliver such complete utter fucking darkness so very few can capture. "Kembatinan Premaster" is a single meditation consisting of 8 parts in 37 minutes of total fucking blackness with acclaimed black vocal vomits and signature style profanatic percussion. This is the continuation of the now classic Ledney atrocities committed in 1993 and yet again breaking major ground 16 years later.

H.C. Minds from Eugene, Oregon started back in the early 90's by Isamu (Yob) and Mikey (Aldebaran) and sporadically released a couple of records, you should check the great split ep with dot(.) in 2003.
Now H.C. Mind is back with 5 of their slowest but not less apocalyptic DOOM songs. I.e. there is "Eyes Filled with Ashes" in which a 6 minutes lasting minimalistic atmospheric piano intro leads to an as minimalistic but more destroying sound with dual vocals. One break and 12 minutes later you are still paralyzed and wonder why your coffee is already ice-cold. But you don't care because "The Beginning of the End" just started to press your back into the seat.

Mel Huges / Direct Hit Zine:
A cold wind blows, dark empty streets - flickering lights, today's news already blowing amongst the rubbish - now forgotten and resigned to the past. A town in any country, dark, lonely, void of feelings - be it love or humanity. Everyday life is no longer restricted to nightmares or horror novels. The anti-dote to this ragged world is the thundering charge that is HELLSHOCK. - Slowly, but surely, breaking and entering your subconscious determinded to revive you from your living nightmare. 'Shadow Of The Afterworld' is a stunning masterpiece of modern crust at it's best. Awesome recording and song quality from all those involved - the combined cv of these guys proves they know what they are doing and they do it well. For the most part it is medium paced, that alternates between fast and slow - conjuring up many a mood, atmosphere and feeling. Mettalic riffage is the order of the day, big rhythmic bass licks and guttural vox and industrial strength drumming pounding away. (.) - From the home of modern d-beat/crust, that is Portland, HELLSHOCK have been around for a few years. In the time they have perfected an already brutal sound and ooze so much energy. They have already gathered a legion of fans worldwide, drapped in filthy black clothes and hearts of gold. If you already love AMEBIX, DEVIATED INSTINCT, DISCHARGE, AXEGRINDER, CRUCIFIX, MOTORHEAD, then add HELLSHOCK to your list of must haves.

La vida es un mus:
Coming from mexico, a country where street executions and drug Lords are at war with everybody, INSERVIBLES can be described as the soundtrack of the mexican nightmare. Their deranged hybrid of negative hardcore with no-fi garage as been compared to NERORGASMO, RAW POWER, VOID or THE REATARDS. The 13 tracks contained on this LP may bring to mind some of those bands but there is something else behind all those layers of filth they call music. Acid lyrics with a macabre sense of humour. Laughing as a statement against the world and a continuous vile-spit on the face of formal folklore. All housed in a tasteless jacket designed Yecatl Peña.

All that is Heavy / earthdog:
Al Morris has been coming up with some of the best riffs in Doom Metal for over 20 years now and with this new Iron Man album, nothing has changed. In fact, he may have got even better with age. While known as a Doom Metal band, Iron Man offer up a musical package that older fans of Heavy Metal will also really appreciate. One of the first things that hits you with this album is the incredible production. There is not one weak track, no stale riffs and every tune on here is catchy as hell. One of those albums you listen to once and already the tunes are stuck in your head. Comparisions for those people who have never heard them, well even though their name comes from the famous Sabbath tune they are actually closer to Pentagram than anybody else. This is album of the year so far for me.

Savannah, Georgia’s Kylesa return with their fourth full length album Static Tensions. Static Tensions marks album number two for Kylesa with their 5 piece, 2 drummer lineup after 2006’s monumental breakthrough Time Will Fuse Its Worth. And after three years the band is now able to fully utilize the many percussive possibilities that such a lineup provides, immediately apparent on the blistering opening track "Scapegoat".
Static Tensions also sees Kylesa further progressing with their songwriting, both in terms of the psychedelia suggested on the Time Will Fuse… LP and the sheer brute force and memorable structures they’ve become known for over the course of their 3 albums and several EPs. The at times blackened death metal feel of "Said And Done" and the piano-laced, middle-eastern tinged "Running Red" highlight this diversity of sound, yet at all times it remains distinctly Kylesa. The percussion heavy "Unknown Awareness" is perhaps the most emotionally heavy tune the band has ever written.

Iiving amongst the pines and firs of the green Norwegian tundra, being natural born lumberjack built forest men and making their own amps and pedals to make this beastly epic lumbering monstr of a record must be like making a cup of tea to us for these guys…
They make it look so easy, they make it sound so simple. But, when you read the bio – you feel there should be a bit more – well – work going on…Not so, it seems. This is a huge, slab heavy record – full of monstrous riffs and bass , drums like a tree felling chainsaw machine on full power – and vocals that could shred bark off an oak from thirty paces – Its music that is designed to pummel you unconscious before taking liberties with your prone, helpless body…
Enjoyable? Yes – in the same way stubbing your toe is – In the same way getting a tattoo is, in the same way smacking your funny bone is… That moment of exquisite, extraordinary pain, before the numb, dizzy feeling of elation comes and washes over you. Each song has that feeling embedded deep within itself. The challenge? Opening your mind enough to find it.
It’s a worthy challenge, from a band who welcome you to take up the task, and then welcome you to their throng…
My suggestion?
Take it – take it now – these men, these monster men have something special for you.
Accept the pain and love the feeling that follows.

Morne are a metallic crust outfit out of Boston, MA who have members in their ranks of killer doom acts such as Filth Of Mankind, Grief and Disrupt. You say crust, I say Amebix? You say metallic, I say Neurosis? Exactly. Thier mix reminds of early UK crust like Amebix and Axegrinder, and the slower, heavy parts remind of Neurosis or Asunder. Their latest album was just released by Feral Ward Records and contains the rerecorded demotracks as well as a one new track. Also, they have some guest vocalists saying hello on "Untold Wait", like Alicia Morgan of 13 as well as Kris Force, who has also worked with Amber Asylum, Swans and Neurosis.

Very punk, very rude and not that pleasant if you're looking for a quietly sat next to the fire listen.

Depraved, sad and angry mutant hardcore from Macedonia. OD VRATOT NADOLU have crafted this album with primal urgency, yet delicate skills. The style is unorthodox and focused, the content is violent and state-altering resulting with a morbidly vivid cinematic-like experience. This record would appeal to freaks into "desire for agony", "the aftermath", "laid insignificant".

DLP comes with a small poster and an insert and is limited to only 250 units. Mastered by Colin Marston of Krallice
Panopticon is the brainchild of one Austin Lundr, and has garnered considerable attention and critical acclaim for the project’s raw, atmospheric blend of black metal, crust, post-rock, and Appalachian folk. Aquarius Records have lauded them as “crusty weirdo mathy abstruse black metal, a buzzing blasting pounding onslaught of Pagan fury, rife with samples and all manner of strange sonic filigree,” and their description isn’t far off. Whereas Panopticon’s earlier full-length effort On the Subject of Mortality was an internal mediation on death, and Panopticon’s 2nd album Collapse anticipated the decline of government infrastructure, Social Disservices lashes out against a broken social services infrastructure that imprisons a silent minority. Social Disservices continues the blackened crust of Panopticon’s previous effort but with a bit more darkness this time. Think black noise with a dose of forlorn gaze. This is Panopticon’s darkest record and their most aggressive.

after releasing a well acclaimed debut album and a split with THOU; here's the second full length by virginas' SALOME
Fronted by a vocalist with one of the most powerful voices in metal, renowned for their stunning live performances, Virginia's Salome first made waves in 2008 when they released their self-titled debut album to an unsuspecting public. The three-piece quickly earned a reputation as one of the heaviest American bands alongside the likes of Yob and Dark Castle, recognized for bearing the doom metal torch passed to them by legends Khanate and Burning Witch.
Surpassing all expectations, Terminal is the most powerful entry in the heavy music arena this year. An album so crushing, ritualistic and epic in scope, it is destined to be recognized as a classic and milestone in American doom metal.

Incredible reissue coming along. They have been defined as the punk version of Celtic Frost, they have been covered by Napalm Death, Macabre, Warhammer and more. Chuck Schuldiner of Death has played with them for a while... they are for sure the kind of metalpunk forerunners and a sure influence on the development of death metal with their 1987 "Strappado" album. We are honored to repress their rarest stuff. "Bloody Karnage" is the 1984 demo, their first official output ever for the first time officially on vinyl. "Nocturnal hell" is a 7" EP pressed in 1986 in 1000 copies and never officially re-released, here it comes directly from the vinyl keeping the original raw sound and mixing (different from the one heard on "Strappado"). On top of that an additional rehearsal track from 1986. Don't miss this one! Comes with 4 pages insert with original artworks, pictures, lyrics and liner notes. Cover artwork by Mark Riddick.

Cream, Traveling Wilburys, Humble Pie, Susi-Unto... all supergroups have their stories to tell. Jussi Lehtisalo (Circle, Rättö ja Lehtisalo, Pharaoh Overlord, Steel Mammoth etc.) got to know Janne Mäki-Turja and Raine Liimakka - the elastic rhythm section of Can Can Heads and Valse Triste - a couple of decades ago, but it is only now with Susi-Unto that they have ended up making music together in the same band. The original idea for the trio was to play some punk but the end product is something far more rough and multi-faceted. Puheluja pimeältä puolelta was recorded during one intensive weekend. The album is harsh on the surface and frayed at the edges, but may contain traces of surprising sensitivity - crushing brutality meeting tranquil vocal melodies, the beauty meeting the beast. Puheluja pimeältä puolelta is only available on 12” vinyl. Susi-Unto has plans to record some more music before the end of the year. Released in cooperation with Karkia Mistika and Ikuisuus.

At war with false noise:
Debut full-length from Mike Williams (Eyehategod, Arson Anthem) and Ryan McKern (Wolvhammer). This is very different to Mike's usual output and provides him with the perfect outlet for his singular, dark world view. Early industrial, punk, electro and noise are all references here and are tied together by Williams' distinctive vocal style. This is some very dark stuff and definitely has the feel of Eyehategod even though it's got a totally different sound. Reference points: (early) Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, Head Of David. Equal parts primitive industrial, noise and punk; most certainly their most fully-realised recording to date by some way.

Andrew/Aversionline.com:
"Licked Inch Fur" is the latest four-song EP from top-notch Finnish noise rock act Throat, and somehow it's even better than the "Adult Situations" 7" that I wrote about three months ago. I mentioned last time that the band seems to draw frequent comparisons to 16, Unsane, and Fudge Tunnel, but regardless of whether or not I agree with that, I will say that this EP puts Throat right up there with those highly regarded acts in terms of overall quality level. Surging rhythms, plodding basslines, eerie feedback, ringing dissonance, harsh vocals… it's all here in fine form. The songwriting has an unexpectedly dark heaviness to it as well, and that definitely pays off. And it's all wrapped up in an excellent recording that keeps everything sounding warm and natural – giving each element its own breathing room in the mix. Awesome, awesome stuff. There's absolutely no reason why fans of this particular style shouldn't be absolutely flipping out over this band!

So if you want to hear something a bit different to the Sludge Metal genre but still have the same great superb Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs then you can’t go wrong here. These guys are superb musicians who know how to play a top-notch Stoner Metal riff aided by some damn fine Hardcore/Stoner Metal vocals.
Production is superb on both releases and is both full of top-notch Sludge/Stoner Metal songs to check out time and time again. Both releases are full of action-packed songs to listen to time and time again.
So if you’re a big fan of Torche then check these guys out. As these releases are simply superb. Highly Recommended.

Hells Headbangers:
All new studio tracks of Black Noise featuring Paul Ledney's exclusive signature style of pounding on wooden coffins, rupturing volcanic rumble, and spewing voice vibrations of black vomit. Clocking in at over 30 minutes, "Hornbook Seytan" is a more diverse and stripped down primitive variation of the former mini-LP "Tungkat Blood Wand". This is a guaranteed unpleasant listen sure to displease most! "Man And Jinn" is also featured on the "Hornbook Seytan" 10" MLP as a bonus parallel groove for those seeking to experience this long out-of-print recording with analog vinyl sound.

Vendetta:
"The USA-based progressive doom soloist Hallowed Butchery teams up with the French funeral doom soloist The Austrasian Goat for a monumental collaborative split 10" based upon the moral stance of self-reliance, popularized and preached by the Transcendentalist movement of the 19th-century. In a world of consumerism, conformity, religious-brainwashing, and political bullshit, these two musical geniuses refuse to merely follow the pack. This is reflected in both their lyrical content, and in their approach to their music, which is performed in solitude, and which often defies categorization. The Austrasian Goat begins the split with two songs of dark, minimalistic, funeral doom reminiscent of Ahab, Celestiial, and Nortt, but with an approach all his own. On the second of the two dirges, Ryan Fairfield of Hallowed Butchery makes a guest appearance. Side two features one epic song from Hallowed Butchery. His song is different from anything he has done in the past – reminiscent of Hawkwind-on-a-bad-acid-trip with Black Sabbath chugging cough syrup, while My Bloody Valentine snorts a mishmash of pills. The song features guest appearances from Julien Louvet of The Austrasian Goat and Brad Bolduc of Terrible Old Man. In a nutshell, "Songs of Self-Reliance and Solitude" is music for the forward-thinking, the individualist, the anarchist, the artist, and the metal-head in us all. "

Agipunk:
It's time to merge two great realities of the music darker and sincere in circulation of 'today' s underground, so we present a 10” split EP between WARHAMMER and COFFINS. Teutonic WARHAMMER plays in maniacal way the ultra-cult Hellhammer / Celtic Frost style since ages, as no-one could do better. Growing up from both metal & punk roots, the Warhammer deathdoom brigade “evolved” their style in a darker and more obsessed version of the swiss gods, offering here a over 7 minutes song that will not betray their tradition in playing obscure music! In the other side Japanese COFFINS are back in vinyl with their amazing stenchous ‘n’ doomish death by metal that distinguished them from a myriad of many other groups of similar genre nowadays.

Covenance - Ravaging the Pristine 7" (Emetic) 4 € »
EP from 2006
Metal-Observer:
Formed by former\ex members of DYING FETUS (Vince Matthews-vocals) and MISERY INDEX (Bruce Greig-Guitars, Matt Byers-Drums), COVENANCE is a brutal Death Metal band from the US. Alternating between mid paced chugging atop speedy double kick and Grind intensity blast beating, this is (only!) 8 minutes of neck exercise I sorely needed. The guitars are thick and clear and the bits of clean channel they throw in two of the songs make for a great contrast to the heaviness. Vocals are low growl to mid range. pretty standard DM voice but good and hostile.
Stylistically, it is firmly entrenched in American Death Metal territory, having much the same vibe as HATE ETERNAL (and Erik Rutan mastered this) and a number of other USDM bands. This is the only thing about the disc that brings it down a bit: COVENANCE doesn’t really bring anything new to the table and the very short demo nature of this doesn’t give a true picture of how a full length would stand up to repeated listens. Liking the style helps to alleviate some of this for me (yes Metalcore fans, I am a hypocrite) and I wouldn’t hesitate to check out further work by the band.
The title alone is worth a point with me! "Ravaging The Pristine" brings all kinds of bizarre visuals into my mind and I love it; definitely album title of the year material. Even if it was called "Demo 2005", it would still be worth putting on your check-out list.

www.builtonaweakspot.com:
This is the first record from France’s Death to Pigs that I’ve actually been able to get my hands on in a physical manner. I’ve heard just about everything else they’ve put out, most notably their excellent full-length Carnal Carnival, and it’s nice to finally be able to add something of theirs to my collection as their music fits right along nicely in it.
This latest single features four new tunes from the band. It gets kicked off in fine fashion with “Castro Secret Sex Casino”, a track that is doing just about all it can to grab the attention of the listener as it borders on complete noise freak out while hammering a repetitive acid soaked riff underneath all that mud and shouting. The band follows that up with a quick blast of some damaged post-punk in “I Got Nut”. The b-side of “International Waste” and “A Man of Ideas” kind of falls short of matching the level on the a, but does well showing a bit of a different side of the band with two tracks that scale back the noise and fuzz a bit and kind of sound like they are channeling a bit of Jesus Lizard and Pere Ubu that results in a nearly as wild and eccentric set of tunes. Don’t miss out on this.

Recommended, Hävitys has some heavy melancholic edge with the guitars, shitfast with cool breakdowns and high/low vocals, yay! Translated and good, not too pathetic lyrics. Ward on the other side celebrate dry Sludgecrust with no hipster trademarks, one song that sounds like a bolt thrower (hint).
Filthy, this has style that is not worn out and though it doesn't invent the genres new, it's very refreshing. A little lesson in finnish understatement: if the review below says 'nice' it means great, haha. Hävitys wins for me.
Kaos Kontrol:
Nice old-school style split release showcasing two fresh Finnish bands; Hävitys blasting four tracks of vicious crusty grind core keeping a distance to the modern and clean sport grind mentality whereas Ward offer their long awaited first officially released track of thick and crusty sludge/doom filth. Black vinyl in stylish sleeve.

Here it is another massive grind attack from the masters of gore-grind Embalming Theatre!!! 3 new and exclusive tracks that, as usual, combine extreme brutality with the worst hilarious sense of humor to date. Just listen to the last song "Jamaicabre rum" to get an idea..a disgusting true story (as always!) cooked into goregiastic riffing with latin-jazz flavour...is it enough for your sick taste??? On the flip side the return of thier acclaimed country mates Insomnia Isterica! 5 new songs all in italian language who really will catch your attention. Think about a deviated and rotten version of Cripple Bastards. This slab of wax comes in a limited edtion of 450 copies all hand-numbered.

KRUEL are a raw DBeat assault killing it in the Los Angeles Raw Ponx scene. No frills and no filler, just kick ass ANTICIMEX, SHITLICKERS worshipping hardcore punk. Unlearn are a raw and brutal Dbeat attack from Vancouver. 5 minutes of pure distortion and maximum volume with guitar torture worthy of comparisons to the greats. A loud and noisy fury of raw punk levelling everything in their path. Vocals distorted in anguish and a wall of guitars tweaked to ear splitting frequencies held down with an impressive d-beat attack. If you're a fan of Disclose, Anti-Cimex, or raw punk in general, you should definitely check this out!

Sorry State:
Noisecore/raw punk split EP created for the campaign for musical destruction. After multiple cassettes, this will be PENIS GEYSER'S second appearance on vinyl, following their split with NAPALM DEATH IS DEAD, continuing in their style of short blasts of disorienting noise-core. LOTUS FUCKER from Baltimore/Washington D.C. bring three great new songs of ear piercing raw punk taking influence from bands like CONFUSE and GLOOM. Pressing of 500 in pocket sleeves with insert.

Youtube of their best song of the LP, other stuff is rougher
Sorry State:
3rd 7" from this noisy as fuck Japanese punk band, and in my opinion it's their best yet by far. This is still noisy as shit, but it's much more punk... like bands like Nerveskade these guys are exploring the UK82 influences behind noise punk, but there's also a very Japanese weirdness that reminds me of bands like Kikijei and Aburadako. Very much recommended, Limited to 300 copies.
Detonate:
This Georgia band released one of the absolute weirdest and most fucked up records of last year with their debut, and this 7" picks up right where that LP left off. Much like Crazy Spirit, these guys take a lot of the influences that are popular among the whole noise punk set, but they just make it way more twisted, dark, and brooding sounding... this is truly unique stuff and as far as I'm concerned one of the best hardcore punk bands going right now.

Aborted Society:
ORDER OF THE VULTURE returns with a release on Defector Records, "Death Mask." Death Mask features three songs from the newest recording session at the Ship. More Pitch Blackened Crust. Deathmask is loosely based around the Italian Teatro Grotesco most commonly associated with the writings of Pirandello from the 1920's. Their Nihilist anti-natural philosophies were a precursor to the Theatre of the Absurd.

Maximum RocknRoll:
I hadn’t heard anything recently from OOTV so was excited to listen to this and hear where the band has gone. Turns out these are older tracks (recorded in 2004) that never saw the light of day until now. This Portland, OR band does blackened crust thrash well. I also enjoy these older tracks a bit more than their more recent stuff, because the tracks are more to the point. Fewer drawn out intros and samples. Just raw buzzing guitars, basic mid-paced drumming and black metal style vocals all of which would make HELLHAMMER proud. The crust influence is minimal and the lyrics are vague enough to read more like death metal lyrics than pro-Satan / anti-Christian.

very noble gatefold 7"
Doomentia:
Try to picture this: a blood red sky upon a desert landscape where few scattered blade of grass somehow survive. In silence, three mysterious men in robes are converging to what?s left of a former little church, now only a shadow of its former self with half of a wall remaining and gathering dust. As the sun sets in the West and the shadows grow bigger, they all quietly gather of the remains of an altar and soon and begin the chanting, whispering words in ancient tongues man has forgotten the real meaning a long time ago, for no one to hear but the ghosts still lingering on in between this world and the other on this god forsaken piece of land. Indeed, Orthodox have arrived and the ceremony has begun.
After two impressive and droning albums - ?Gran Ponder? in 2006 and ?Amanecer en Puerta Oscura? in 2007, both licensed in the US by cult-label Southern Lord ? and the surprising left-turn that was last year?s ?Sentencia?, Orthodox first ever EP on Doomentia sees them once again ditching whatever expectations their fans could have for? Well, something else. If ?Matse Avatar? is a warrior call powered by throbbing bass and circular riffing, evoking both OM and Amon Düll II leading galactic troops on their way to invade planet Earth with a subtle Rush reference thrown in the pot (can you spot it?), its flipside ?YHVH? goes the exact opposite way, an almost contemplative instrumental of delicate beauty in pure Earth-style, like the calm before the storm.
In keeping with both Doomentia and Orthodox tradition, 'Matse Avatar' also comes in a super classy gatefold sleeve printed by metallic colour, with lyrics and pure magical powers engrained on wax. So tell me, can you feel the vibrations of doom?
Not to be confused, this is Moloch from the Ukraine!

Persistence in Mourning:
first release from total war and terror and feudal throne records. the rigor sardonicous track is titled "I" and if you know the band, you know what to expect. raw, uncompromising, punishing extreme doom. the PiM track is called "neo-pessimism" and was written and recorded around the time of "the undead shall rise". the music from this track was originally going to appear on that LP but it didn't really fit into the context of teh album, so i scrapped the vocals, wrote new lyrics and re-worked the guitars. nice archival piece if you like my work from that time period. artwork handled by my dying bride's aaron stainthorpe, and i am very proud to be working with him again (he supplied the art for "listless acts of attrition" before). joe and myself should have our copies soon. massive thanks to everyone involved.

At war with false Noise:
New 7" that I'm incredibly chuffed about! Sharing a split 7" with one of my favourite bands is the highlight of doing all this stuff so far, could only be eclipsed by maybe Maiden letting me go on tour with them, or perhaps Peter Gabriel playing some flute on our next record. Anyway, I digress. Seven short tracks of weirdness from Sloth; creepy, odd atmosphere to these and in a similar vein to the more obtuse approach of recent EPs they've been coming out with. Some great sub-stoner riffs in there and some ridiculously high-pitched screaming going on. Another winner. One long, claustrophobic and ultra-heavy track from Seppuku, not a million miles away from the recent split 7" with Mutant Ape, but more cohesive. Snails-pace riffing, unholy sarcofagous shrieks and sub-bass low-end. All in tribute to one of the most amazing women ever, Lina Romay.
Full-colour thick card sleeves and sturdy PVC wallets. 200 copies, split release with Sloth.

Crucificados Pelo Sistema:
After a great a demo tape and a split cs with Leprosy The Helpless have honed their obvious Japanese influences to create a solo drenched chaotic juggernaut this time around. These dudes sprouted from the ashes of DEAD NOISE and feature a member of KRUEL, but mostly they just fukkn destroy. You name yourself after KURO, and you have just made yourself some big fukkn shoes, and THE HELPLESS fill them with style. A meaty bass and drum make for a perfect backdrop for noise guitars and destroyed vocals which is why we really listen to this shit anyway.
