Band:LARRY MILLER
Album:LIVE AND OUTLAWED
Label:BIG GUITAR
Format:2CD
Genre:Blues
Larry Miller has produced six studio albums to critical acclaim but live is what Larry does best and there is a barnstormer of a live set on this album. Many of the live favourites are present including the best version of ‘Messin’ With The Kid’ since Rory Gallagher’s ‘Live In Europe’ album. Larry’s original songs are amongst the best in contemporary blues/rock. From power rockers to heartfelt ballads and the blues. Whether exciting on fire solos, memorable riffs, flowing lead or vocal outpourings, Larry delivers with passion. Very few live albums convey the heat of the moment and you can’t help get drawn into the live arena. You can sense the heat and feel the sweat from Larry and the audience. He’s a real showman and you’re taken along on this live ride every inch of the way. In a live review ‘Classic Rock Presents The Blues’ magazine said “Larry gets 70’s Blues Rock when many others don’t” and Guitar And Bass magazine said “Blues Rock brilliance….. Put Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and SRV in the ring together and you'd be close…..”
Those who like Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, Walter Trout and Joe Bonamassa, need to have this album !

Band:MAN OR ASTROMAN?
Album:DEFCON 5..4..3..2..1
Label:BURNSIDE
Format:CD
Genre:Surf / Beat / Instrumental
Man or Astro‐Man? have returned to earth for the human masses and after years of hibernation they are now unveiling their finest recorded work to date. It has been nearly 12 years since the band last released their intergalactic sonic wave forms, and the new album, Defcon 5...4...3...2...1, is here with a striking validity that the band is unquestionably as both tuneful and energetic as they ever have been. The record combines ever‐familiar Astro audio tones and the well‐established playing ferocity that MOAM? are known for, but yet now, there is an undeniable evolution to the band that is both intuitive, logical, and well crafted. Defcon is here and is here with imminent purpose.
Always known as an unstoppably powerful live band, in 2010, the original lineup of Birdstuff, Coco and Star Crunch reformed to play a series of shows, and since then, they have been putting on some of the best performances of their careers. Recorded with longtime Astro copilot, Steve Albini in Chicago, IL and also with Daniel Farris of Denial Labs in Birmingham, AL, the new album finds the band bringing their unique powerful style of Science Friction back to greater humanity in supreme form. It seems Man or Astro‐Man? haven’t missed a beat, and the newly recorded material finds the band being as inventive and propulsive as ever. Put on your space helmet and strap in. The countdown begins now...
Produced by Steve Albini ; This is the band's first new work in 12 Years and it does not dissapoint!

The duo that comprise Canada’s newest black metal disciples, GEVURAH, are an entity who embrace the true essence of the genre. Because of this, they have set themselves up as the next disciples and promising entity in North America to uphold the true values of black metal; values that honor and give praise to the dark lord through uncompromising and sophisticated black metal art. Black metal art that is of course presented in an intellectual manner.
“Necheshirion” is GEVURAH’s debut EP and features five hymns (including a cover of Malign’s “Entering Timeless Halls”) of elite Satanic black metal art clocking in at 33 minutes, reminiscent of the vibe of such black metal acts as Deathspell Omega, Funeral Mist, and Watain (“Causus Luciferi” era).

Formed by WOLVHAMMER band mates, vocalist Adam Clemans and guitarist Jeff Wilson (also of Chrome Waves, Doomsday, ex-Nachtmystium), with friends of theirs from Minneapolis (who dwell in the band Mourner and Iron Thrones respectively), LIAR IN WAIT is a new band that sees the accomplished musicians tap into their admiration for classic ’80s goth/darkwave in the vein of bands like The Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Sisters Of Mercy, and Fields Of The Nephilim.
The result being a moving four song EP (limited to 1000 units) that captures the dark, brooding, and gutwrenching melancholy that the above bands employed during their classic moments of glory. “Translations Of The Lost” is just the beginning statement of this promising new band, comprised of musicians rooted in underground metal, that will tap into a new energy and movement in dark music.

Band:ULVER
Album:LIVE AT ROADBURN - 2012
Label:ROADBURN
Format:CD
Genre:Psych/Garage
Early pioneers of Norwegian black metal Ulver have continually evolved over the years to become living legends of the dark music genre. By blending rock, electronic, industrial and symphonic traditions along with ambient soundscapes and experimental sounds, the band has created truly groundbreaking material.
Ulver returned with Childhood’s End, a collection of classic psychedelic tracks recorded by the band during various sessions starting in late 2008 and ending in late 2011. “This is the stuff that we sit at home and get stoked about,” Kristoffer Ryggexplained in an interview. “I grew up with parents who were still listening to music from the time, so it informed my childhood, but it has became an ever increasing geeky sort of fetish since then.” This passion for Sixties garage rock and psychedelia and the countless underground gems that remain unknown to many inspired the band to record their own interpretations of some of their favorite songs from the era. “My feeling is that most people’s knowledge sort of limits itself to The Doors,” said Rygg, “The Doors were cool, but there was so much else going on in the underground, records that got lost and didn’t get as much recognition as they deserved in my opinion.”
Ulver performed the tracks from Childhood’s End for the first and only time live at Roadburn 2012. This “1967” performance, mixed by Kristoffer Rygg and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano, will be released on 2LP and CD.t

Label:WAR CRIMES RECORDINGS
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
KINGS DESTROY is a twisted, thundering gang of musicians whom Decibel magazine astutely described as “a literal who’s-who of the New York underground stoner doom scene. The principle members of Kings Destroy have been playing together in New York City hardcore bands and heavy music projects - Breakdown, Killing Time, Uppercut, Begotten, At A Loss, Electric Frankenstein - since as far back as 1986.
Village Voice - "Fueled mainly by Sabbath's grooves, Sleep's foggy haze, and Yob's oppressive thunder.”
The Obleisk.net as “strange and eerie and kind of off the wall stylistically, and it doesn’t really sound like anything else out there...Rarely will I go so far as to call something unique. This album is.”
The Sludge Lord - "Kings Destroy is one of the most important bands coming from the Doom/Stoner Metal scene."

Corrections House is a metal supergroup featuring Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Mike IX Williams (Eyehategod), Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium), and Bruce Lamont (Yakuza/Bloodiest).
‘There’s really no way to sum up the sound of Corrections House. If you listen to each one of the members’ individual projects, then you can maybe get an idea if you just imagine a nice blend of the four of them. It’s not metal, it’s not industrial, and it’s certainly not easily classified. But overall, it’s pure genius!‘ (Zero Tolerance Magazine)

Band:VARIOUS ARTISTS
Album:PULP AND POP CULTURE
Label:ROCK BEAT
Format:4CD BOX SET
Genre:Rock And Roll/Psychobilly
This is the first RockBeat “Pulp and Pop Culture” box set, compiled after sorting through the vastness of the vinyl landfill for this collection of rare and unique tracks. In the day, some felt the performances were too raw, there wasn't enough payola and the subject matters was too far out to get broad exposure but these tracks represent the heart and soul of what made rock and roll fun in the 50s and 60s.
The songs are compiled thematically and the subject of each song is based on what was happening in pulp and pop culture at the time. “Rock and Roll Invasion” deals with the space race and aliens, “Voodoo Dolls” the fascination with horror and occult films, “Teenage Rebels” is a response to the new concept of juvenile delinquents and “Wild Guitar Instrumentals” is a response to the uninhibited growth of rock ‘n’ roll.
" In the Eisenhower era, we had b/w television with just 3 stations so we were glued to our radios and this box set is a digital reboot of those times, bringing a plethora of passionate, off‐kilter recordings to be enjoyed all over again. And to further connect yourself to the past, we’ve packaged these in mini LP jackets and a hard bound box."
The most comprehensive compilation of rare 50s and 60s rock n roll pulp and pop culture available ; The greatest compilation of music related to outer space and aliens, voodoo culture, teenage rebellion and edgy instrumental guitar tracks available.

Band:BELL WITCH
Album:LONGING - LP
Label:FLENSER
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Vinyl edition of the Profound Lore release..one of the most important doom titles of 2012.
Bell Witch is a minimalist doom duo from Seattle comprised of drummer Adrian Guerra and bassist Dylan Desmond (of Samothrace fame). Uniquely sorrowful, Bell Witch is as much akin to Skepticism as they are to Codeine. Longing is an hour and 10 minutes of doomed desolation, sadness, and sorrow. Originally released on CD and digital formats by Profound Lore Records, Longing was one of the most important doom albums of 2012 featured on numerous year end lists. By creating massive, epic, and crushing soundscapes of doom, all this merely with just bass, drums, and a dual vocal pummel, “Longing” expands on the promise BELL WITCH laid down with their 2011 demo , which was seen as one of the best doom metal demos of last year. “Longing” (which features guest vocals by Erik Moggridge of Aerial Ruin on the track ‘Rows’) is a slow, time-stretching trodden journey through sounds of darkness, pain, and suffering and serves as one of the saddest, morose, and most despondent, stripped down, doom metal releases of the year.
Longing will be released as a gatefold double album housed in a thick, old-style case wrapped jackets and comes with a gatefold insert.

Band:DEAFHAVEN / BOSSE DE NAGE
Album:DEAFHEAVEN/BOSSE DE NAGE
Label:FLENSER
Format:LP
Genre:Black Metal
The Flenser is proud to release to a split album by the two best minimalist black metal bands from the Bay Area: Deafheaven and Bosse-de-Nage. The split features two tracks—Deafheaven's cover of Mogwai's "Punk Rock / Cody" and Bosse-de-Nage’s new original track, "A Mimesis of Purpose"—and will be available on digital and 12 inch vinyl, mastered at 45 RPM.
Deafheaven hails from San Francisco and their last album, “Roads to Judah”, landed on countless "best of" lists for 2011, including #6 on NPR's Best Metal Albums, and #22 on Pitchfork's Top 40 Metal Albums. Esquire Magazine called the band "Brutal and bracing, with a shoegazing indie-rock band's ear for graceful melodicism.”
Bosse-De-Nage is one of the most recent and intriguing enigmas to arise within the Bay Area underground music scene. The elusive four-piece can be best described as a band who combine influences that range from minimalist-outsider black metal, punk, and early ’90s indie art rock. Profound Lore recently released Bosse-de-Nage's third full length, dimly entitled, "iii." LTD VINYL LP

Band:BOTANIST
Album:1V MANDRAGORA
Label:FLENSER
Format:LP
Genre:Black Metal
Botanist, the unconventional one-man black metal band featuring vocals, drums, and hammered dulcimer instrumentation, is gearing up to release its fourth album, IV: Mandragora, on February 19th from experimental metal label The Flenser. Combining lyrical creativity and musical ingenuity, IV: Mandragora is a concept record on the alchemical creation of a mandrake, and how The Botanist is instructed on raising an army of mandrakes to wipe out humanity. The songs of Botanist are told from the perspective of The Botanist, a crazed man of science who lives in self-imposed exile, as far away from Humanity and its crimes against Nature as possible. In his sanctuary of fantasy and wonder, which he calls the Verdant Realm, he surrounds himself with plants and flowers, finding solace in the company of the Natural world, and envisioning the destruction of man. There, seated upon his throne of Veltheimia, The Botanist awaits the day when humans will either die or kill each other off, which will allow plants to make the Earth green once again.
Botanist’s previous releases, I: The Suicide Tree, II: A Rose From The Dead (released July 2011 on tUMULt), and III: Doom in Bloom (TotalRust) have seen much critical acclaim; landing on lists such as NPR’s 25 Best Metal Albums of 2011, Metal Sucks Top 15 Metal Albums of 2011, Metal Injection’s Top 10 Releases of 2011, and an honorable mention on Pitchfork’s Top 40 Albums of 2011. The next chapter of Botanist, IV: Mandragora, is an eccentric and remarkable album and is sure to turn heads in 2013.LTD VINYL LP!

Band:GROBSCHNITT
Album:SYMPHONY LIVE
Label:SIREENA
Format:CD
Genre:Kraut / Space Rock
In the summer of 2012 GROBSCHNITT climbed a further peak in their rich live history. Together with the Philharmonic Orchestra Hagen GROBSCHNITT entered the stage of the Stadttheater Hagen on 4 sold out evenings. The first part of the concert was influenced by the fans. They had previously ordered their dream program in a poll. The second part was a fulminate coloured interpretation of the classic "Rockpommel's Land" that produced goose bumps after the next in the audience.
Sireena Records is proud to present two tracks from this event for the first time on record. "Symphony" is one of the oldest tracks of the band (from the first album). "Beyond" is one of the newest songs of GROBSCHNITT, and this fits well together. Especially "Symphony" in the orchestral version shows a resurrection of a special kind. For band boss Willi Wildchwein, this CD is a Thank You to the fans of the band - for the loyalty and love that the band has felt in the last 5 years so strong. So finally it’s a special gift for very special fans..

Band:BULLFROG
Album:BULLFROG
Label:SIREENA
Format:CD
Genre:Kraut / Space Rock
Ali Halmatoglu, one in the former Munich music scene established and well accepted drummer has been instructed in 1973 by the owner of a cinema chain to assemble a band. Quick the core-group was fixed, it have been people with already long years of musical experience: Ali Halmatoglu himself has been the first drummer of the band, but didn’t stick to the band very long. His followers have been first Seppl Niemayer (went later to OCTOPUS), then Bruno Perosa. Also he lived together with the other bandmembers in a musical-flat-share, the legendary „Dampfmolkerei“ of the 300 people location Burkhards. With this cast they went 1976 to CONNY’S, the studio of Conny Plank. He was exalted of the demos and recommended them immediately to Sky Records in Hamburg. A record deal has been signed and the first album recorded.
Due to the fact that in the US already 2 bands with the name Bulldogg and Bulldogg Breed (UK) did exist, one did not want to run any legal risk or the danger of any mix up. Therefore the record company recommended the name BULLFROG and from now on this was their bandname. Under this name the first vinyl appeared in Autumn of 1976. The outer appearing of this publication found big appeal because the album cover has been created by the Japanese painter and artist Aoi Fujimoto ex Tokyo. The first BULLFROG-album was very successful and appeared in parallel to the German publication also at through the US-Company Anuit Couptis. Amongst expert groups BULLFROG now belonged to the most promising newcomer-bands of the German rock scene. This has also be proven during their live-gigs, which were not only acoustic but also optic a class of it’s own.

Band:MARVIN
Album:BARRY
Label:African Tape
Format:CD
Genre:Postrock / Post Hardcore / Noise
Marvin are a three piece band from Montpellier France.
Two years of marathon songwriting sessions, passionate collaboration, and meticulous engineering have resulted in Barry, their third album, second for Africantape and the first in the USA for Sick Room Records LTD. Marvin is known across Europe for their frenetic live shows, and this record is an attempt to capture the feeling. Like three mighty gods, Emilie, Greg and Fred use all their powers to create some of the most glorious, sexy electro-punk to sweep across the landscape. Imagine that a storm is brewing, the heavens torn asunder. From the west you have solid, riff-heavy rock and roll, the electricity of AC/DC infused with the venom of the Jesus Lizard, blowing through town like a fierce wind. From the south we see another current approaching, bombastic, throbbing, sensual, Enoinspired, big-beat electronica. These two forces collide and intermix to produce music that is upbeat, energetic and boisterous. The different elements hit you at different times, the visceral rumble of an 808, the squeal of a synth, thrashy-swirly live drum fills, guitar licks that pop and shimmer like lightning, all in all serious torrent of sound that ignites the whole room and gets everyone dancing. Marvin has joined up on the road with colleagues and friends Pneu, Papier Tigre and Electric Electric, forming La Colonie de Vacances, a quadraphonic project were each band plays one corner of the room, with the audience standing in the middle, creating a one-of-a-kind experience, and managing to shape these affinities into a single exciting live act.

Band:NECRONOMICON BEAST
Album:SOWERS OF DISCORD
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Thrash/Crossover Metal
Fuelled by their various experiences in different fields of the vast metal sphere - heavy-metal with WYTCHKRAFT, doom/death with MORIENDI, folk/metal with FOLKLORD etc. - they've settled for a music that has a much tighter, American-like type of sound yet without loosing a drop of their blasphemous elements, even daring on a regular basis to go beyond the five minutes mark. So think of an early AT WAR or BULLDOZER with a modern production that would have decided to get his membership card at the Satanic Church and go on a killing spree in the nearest liquor store!
After a series of demos and limited releases on selected format such as tapes, 'Sowers Of Discord' represents band's second proper fulllength after fourteen years (!) of existence, their first 'real' release since the 2004's debut album 'Hell Thrash War' and their first recording featuring new member Warhammer, on bass. But it's also first and foremost a great proof than in 2013, with songtitles like "Warfield" or "World Assured Destruction" thrash is alive and well. LTD VINYL LP.

Band:CELLDWELLER
Album:CELLDWELLER - 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Label:FIXT
Format:CD
Genre:Alt Rock
The self-titled debut that started it all has turned ten. At the dawn of the new millennium, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Klayton created Celldweller, a ground-breaking aural entity for the next age. Thriving on originality, Celldweller cross-bred electronic styles such as Drum'n'Bass and Psy-Trance with modern Alternative Rock and Metal on his self-titled debut, released independently in 2003. The Celldweller album met with critical acclaim while climbing to #17 on the Billboard Internet Sales Chart. Celldweller gained Top 40 Metal Radio charting with the track “I Believe You” pulling into a solid 11th place on the R&R Alternative Specialty Show Chart. Achieving a feat shared by only an elite handful of albums, every song on Celldweller was eventually licensed for use in movie trailers, TV shows, and games. Now, Celldweller has been reissued to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its release with the addition of previously unheard song “Uncrowned” and updated artwork. A special 2-disc Deluxe Edition featuring remixes, demos, and rarities is also available. While Klayton busies himself in his Detroit studio preparing the future of Celldweller for 2013, celebrate the past with this monumental work

Label:FIXT
Format:CD
Genre:Alt Rock
If the Blue Stahli who created the first two volumes of Antisleep was the fun-loving master of funk who crashed your Hollywood Hills garden party to cannonball off the roof into your pool, the Blue Stahli who made this third volume is the one who, clad in black and backlit by one flickering Exit sign, appears in your rearview mirror as you get into your car late one night in a dimly lit and otherwise empty parking garage. Is he there to warn you of imminent danger? Is HE the imminent danger? All you know is that the funk is gone and a sinister chill in the air is making the hair on the back of your neck rise. Better get your key into the ignition...whatever happens next, your life won't be the same after tonight, after Antisleep Volume 3. These 13 new cinematic pieces of instrumental action will be indispensable during YOUR next car chase, dangerous escape, or alien encounter.

Brother Sun, Sister Moon" is a record that, with the same enthusiasm of St. Francis, aims at "taking off its own clothes" to embrace the urgency of Punk, search for Pop immediacy, wear the sound of classic Garage,thus not making the past an obsession, use shortness as a metaphor of modern times: frantic, confused, disinterested.

Band:KANI
Album:BADASS
Label:GO DOWN
Format:CD
Genre:Rock
Opening with the ironic "Bud is my trainer" (and this is of course Bud Bud Spencer), followed by the hard bluesy "Elecric church", the third is the unexpectedly melodic "Go to bed with us." The rocky "What does not kill me makes me stronger" quotes the philosopher Nietzsche, the punky "The power of money" attacks the power of finance, the furious "Drink'n'drive" speaks of a widespread youth problem (withdrawal the license for alchoolic reasons), and with "Badass boogie" we shall dance. Rounding outwith the metal-sound "Die Hard", the hyperspeedy "We bite" and, at end the record's surprise , the acoustic ballad entitled "Dancing Star". It's only dirty rock'n'roll, but I like it.

Band:SKAGOS
Album:ANARCHIC
Label:FLENSER
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
...Skagos' sound has shifted a bit with Anarchic; a departure from Ást and an expansion of their work of the split with Panopticon (2010, The Flenser). Ethereal and atmospheric instrumentation - at times almost hypnotic - is prevalent on the record and often met with visceral guitars and gutted growls. Singy folk elements can also be found on Anarchic, making this an incredibly engaging and dynamic listen. Still lyrically complex focusing on the death of the Earth and the renewal inherent in cyclical time, Anarchic showcases Skagos at their most fully-realized state as a band thus far with an almost symphonic feel to this new album

Label:DUNKELHEIT
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
MIRTHLESS emerged in the beginning of 2003 from the gathering of two sinister souls: Mirthless (Suicide voice of doom kult…) and Satyricon (Senile dementia in drums), who were inspired to create music filled with despair and darkness. A few months later another fallen soul appeared: Soulless (Mournful sound of anguish and pain) with whom the band composed two sad poems and recorded a rehearsal tape during November and December 2004. At the end of 2004, the band entered the “El Sotano” studios to record the first masterpiece called “Remembrances”. In 2009, after several offers MIRTHLESS signed a deal with a Japanese label to release a 10’’ MLP with the title “… A Las Orillas del Mar…”. At this time Satyricon quit the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Schizophrenic (Disturbed mind in drums) in 2011. He had been living in a mental hospital for a long period. MIRTHLESS soon came to an agreement with german label Dunkelheit Produktionen about the release of the long awaited debut album “ A Dirge For Your Suicide”... MIRTHLESS is heavily influenced by the ancient sound of Doom Metal…

Band:ARRAYAN PATH
Album:IV STIGMATA
Label:PITCH BLACK
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
The fourth album of the increasingly popular melodic epic/power metal powerhouse ARRAYAN PATH. The band's previous two albums have received ecstatic reviews and ratings making it into several "best of the year" shortlists by various media. Both previous albums have been shortlisted for IMPALA's European Independent Album of the Year Award. What all this means of course is a highly anticipated and very promising new album! This is a more "fierce" and dark album however, but, everything that defines ARRAYAN PATH is still there - superb compositions, full of melody, passionate performances and excellent atmospheric parts and some of the best metal vocals ever!
