Band:WALKING PAPERS
Album:WALKING PAPERS
Label:BURNSIDE
Format:CD
Genre:Alt Rock
All Star new band featuring Barrett Martin ( Screaming Trees), Duff McKagan ( Guns N Roses) Ben Anderson (Rorschach Test) and Jeff Angell ( Post Stardom Depression) with Special guest Mike McCready ( Pearl Jam)
Walking Papers is a blues-based rock band formed by Jeff Angell and Barrett Martin, two long-serving veterans of the Seattle music scene. Jeff sang and played guitar for the bands Post Stardom Depression and The Missionary Position, and Barrett, a drummer and multi-instrumentalist, played for grunge pioneers Skin Yard and Screaming Trees, as well as the super groups Mad Season and Tuatara. This debut album features a stellar cast of guest musicians who have each added their unique musical voice to the album: The rumbling bass lines of Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver), the blistering guitar work of Mike McCready (Pearl Jam, Mad Season), the elegant keyboard stylings of Benjamin Anderson, and the soulful horn arrangements of Dave Carter, Dan Spalding, and Ed Ulman. Walking Papers shows us on their debut album that a great song can be conveyed through percolating marimbas, vibraphone, piano, and trumpet, just as easily as it can with thundering drums, bass, and a howling guitar.

Band:YAKUZA
Album:BEYUL
Label:Profound Lore
Format:CD
Genre:METAL/POST ROCK
Over the many years of their existence, Chicago avant-garde metal band YAKUZA were always seen as an underrated and under appreciative entity within the heavy music scene. Maybe it was because of the band’s eclectic and unique nature of their music, which incorporated weird, jazz-influenced, and ultra-progressive moments unheard of in metal at the time, while at the same time, band leader/vocalist Bruce Lamont incorporating saxophone in YAKUZA’s sound by making it even more alien and distinct from all other bands in metal.
Even though it had been an uphill climb to bring recognition to YAKUZA during their tenure at such notable metal labels as Century Media Records and Prosthetic Records, the band would still endure massive critical acclaim (from such outlets as Rolling Stone magazine, Pitchfork, and even testimonials from their peers in such bands as Mastodon and Neurosis, and even from respected individuals as Steve Albini). But it wasn’t until Profound Lore released 2010’s “Of Seismic Consequence” where YAKUZA’s awareness would grow as the band would become more recognized with the newfound attention they got by putting out their best album of their career.
Now with the band’s new album “Beyul” (once again produced by Sanford Parker), YAKUZA have followed-up “Of Seismic Consequence” with another storming and moving triumph that will even bring more recognition and respect to YAKZUA, the recognition they should have been getting since the beginning of their career. Led once again by the strongest performance by Bruce Lamont to date, “Beyul” continues to see YAKUZA’s revolutionary style that they’ve always known to carry come to the fore, while at the same time Bruce Lamont and co. taking it to the next level with a stronger sense of straightforward more-accessible songwriting and melody which has only heightened the YAKUZA listening experience that much more.

Band:MENACE RUINE
Album:ALIGHT IN ASHES
Label:Profound Lore
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
The Canadian duo Menace Ruine began in 2006 by S. De La Moth and Genevieve. The Montreal entity create music of a very harsh and hypnotizing blend of martial ambient and neo-folk mixed with elements of experimental music and black metal. The music would then be laced with the enchanting and mesmerizing vocals of Genevieve which would make Menace Ruine a band unlike anything in the genre.
“Alight In Ashes” is MENACE RUINE’s fourth album. Having already worked with such labels as the respected Canadian experimental label Alien8 and experimental UK label Aurora Borealis, and having played live with such artists as Nadja, Daniel Menche, Wolf Eyes, Watain, along with doing a European tour with France’s Aluk Todolo which led MENACE RUINE in playing the prestigious Roadburn Festival where they were personally invited by Sunn 0))) to play on said band’s curated day, the duo decided it was time to take it to the next level by working with Profound Lore Records.
With “Alight In Ashes”, MENACE RUINE have returned to their more melodic side that was found on their second album “The Die Is Cast”, and in turn have delivered their most intriguing, unnerving, and most beautifully crafted album to date. With the constructed and meticulously crafted music (think Burzum’s “Filosofem” meets Merzbow, Nico, and The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud) that compliments Genevieve’s powerful vocals, “Alight In Ashes” is a trance-like masterpiece that will ultimately cast a spell that grabs you by the throat while at the same time envelopes you. The band also have touring plans in the works, by doing some U.S. touring with their now label-mates ASH BORER and planning tour jaunts with MAMIFFER likewise.
For fans of Nico, Merzbow, Death In June, The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud, and Burzum

Label:RIPPLE MUSIC
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
“Managed By The Devil, Brought To You By The Grace Of God” blends the droning riffs of Stone Rock with the up-tempo chaotic frenzy of Hardcore Punk, creating a crossover style that Tacoma, WA-based C.F.A. calls “Stonercore”. “Managed By The Devil…” is the bands first full-length album and features over forty-minutes of hard driving and heavy music that’s drawn from a life time of influences, including the seemingly mainstream sounds of Bob Marley and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Band:VIBRAVOID
Album:GRAVITY ZERO
Label:SULATRON RECORDS
Format:CD
Genre:Kraut / Space Rock
Vibravoid do not only deliver their sixth full studio album “Gravity Zero” but also the best and most matured of their career. “Gravity Zero” is a masterful album filled with great compositions and fantastic songs, loaded with exotic instruments like Sitar, Mellotron, Stylophone and Theremin, spiced with a creative production that purely embodies the true “psychedelic feeling”! “Gravity Zero” takes off from its predecessor “Minddrugs” from 2011 and melts mesmerising pop tuned with the untamed power of rock! Vibravoid proves that the true psychedelic rock is not dead at all - what simply explains why according to international press the group is handled as Europe´s No. 1 Psychedelic and Acid Rock Band. Like their heroes of the great time of the psychedelic rock revolution Vibravoid pay attention to the song and not on repeating and boring improvisation or Hard Rock riffs. The group achieves a sound that is highly unique, second to none and light years ahead of contemporary groups. Brand new tracks like ”Gravitation Zero“, “Photosynthesis In Darkness“ and “Eruptions Of The Green Sun“ are absolute winners and convey the one of a kind ideas, style and sounds of the Vibravoid. “Get Out Of Here” keeps the potential to became another Underground dance anthem! Easily the band blends the best of Psych-, Acid- and Spacerock and transforms classic period tracks with their very own sound into new masterpieces of the “now and here”! Landmark tracks like H.P. Lovercrafts “The White Ship“ or Eddie Cochran’s “Shotgun Wedding“ shine brightly in a gazing light and show that Vibravoid are not simple copyists but simply and constantly reinvent their music and themselves! … despite the fact that Vibravoid is commonly regarded as a true “vinyl-band“, the CD edition contains two amazing extra tracks! “La Vie En Düsseldorf“ wakes the memories when Kraftwerk was the major inventor of new musical styles and forms while “Radiation Zero” more or less wakes the claustrophobic atmosphere of a walk through a crashed power plant…

Band:SEVEN THAT SPELLS
Album:THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF KRAUTROCK - LP
Label:SULATRON RECORDS
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Kraut / Space Rock
Modern, aggressive psychedelic wall of sound incorporating polymetrics and occasional Viking funeral rites; hailing from the 23rd century where rock is dead, Seven That Spells returned in time where its still possible to change the tragic course of the boring history.
"The Death And Resurrection Of Krautrock:AUM" shifts from exploding roar into swirling overdrive with the precision of a European race engine. When the music growls, it is frightening. And when the music purrs, it sounds like an astral sphinx sleeping with one third-eye open. This is the true spirit of Kraut carried forward into the new rage. Seven That Spells was formed by Niko Potocnjak in 2003. The band was initially formed as a power trio, and over the years more than 60 musicians contributed to live performances and recordings. In 2009 bassist Jeremy White joined the band and has since become its second core member.
The band has gained an underground following and enjoyed some great events in recent years a tour of Japan in 2008, a gig at the Roadburn Festival in 2009, and at the Duna Jam festival 2010 & 2012.

Kayo Dot is an American experimental music group formed in 2003 by Toby Driver after the disband of maudlin of the Well. They released their debut album Choirs of the Eye on John Zorn's Tzadik Records label that year.
Stained Glass features the return of original Kayo Dot lyricist Jason Byron, as well as a guest appearance by electric guitar genius Trey Spruance (Secret Chiefs 3, Mr. Bungle).

“When Stained Glass turns violent, gathering harsh guitar and synth solos into its middle, it’s simultaneously distant from that violence, shaping and refracting it through vibes in the foreground. Driver creates such a powerful, illusory space between these elements that at first it’s not obvious that his bass is crawling in between and tying it all together.” – Alarm Magazine

Band:ELECTRIC ELECTRIC
Album:DISCIPLINE
Label:African Tape
Format:CD
Genre:Post Punk
Electric Electric is a french trio composed of looped and live guitars, drums, and electronics. The band was created in 2005 and played many shows in France and Europe. It was also invited at the SXSW in 2010 and Pop Montreal in 2011. They provide a sound density, a physical liberation of bodies, the repetition as a call to dance. Their percussive music evokes a trance where the polyr-hythmic elements spread in a lightning way. These three musicians influenced by noise post-punk bands and by electro- nic and spectral music, play with the codes of the modern musics such as minimal electronics and futuristic rnb, as well as with those of the ancestral and ritual musics. Electric Electric plays pop music with complex outlines, its own vision of 'dance music'.
Electric Electric have supported bands as Silver Apples, Trans AM, Action Beat, Oxes and many more.

Band:EAST OF THE WALL
Album:THE APOLOGIST
Label:ANTIHETIC
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Metal
The Apologist is the apex of the East Of The Wall’s lumbering history. This is a group that reinvents itself with each new album, a band whose members scurry off to a myriad of other projects, and return home with the scavenged spoils of new ideas. The distance between 2008’s Farmer’s Almanac and 2010’s Ressentiment is a chasm wide enough. When adding in the perspective of past and present musical excursions, such as The Postman Syndrome, El Drugstore, Argonauts, Day Without Dawn, and other related extracurricular endeavors, the breadth becomes harrowing, and vertigo ensues. So now we come to The Apologist, the point in which these diverging paths meet and race towards the meridian. It merges the more melodic instrumental movements of the band’s earlier material with the aggression of its latter works. Never has the band moved as far with such ease. Songs span multiple tracks and titles, and encompass a landscape of sonic topography.
“Compared to the low-key nature of a good portion of their last album, The Apologist is a high-level amount of unwavering energy. The shorter running length makes for a focused album that puts East Of The Wall in contention as one of the brightest contemporary progressive metal bands.” – About.com Heavy Metal
Vinyl Packaging – 180 gram colored vinyl limited to 500 pieces (100 Black, 150 Clear/Black, 250 Gold/Black). Heavy weight full - color gatefold jackets with spot metallic ink. Alternate artwork layout for vinyl release.

Band:FOGHORN STRING BAND
Album:OUTSHINE THE SUN
Label:BURNSIDE
Format:CD
Genre:Alt-Country / Americana
Internationally acclaimed Foghorn Stringband has been at the vanguard of a revival in American old-time music for over a decade now. They’ve traveled the globe, been signed to a major label, and inspired a new generation of old-time musicians, all without compromising their love of traditional American music. Their brand new recording Outshine the Sun proves it by drawing from the same repertoire that has always inspired their work: the tunes and songs of the American South, from the hollers of Appalachia to the early days of country music. Together, they blend voices, repertoire and instruments to create a diverse performance true to the roots of American music. Their unique sound comes from the fiery, intertwining melodies of Stephen “Sammy” Lind’s fiddle and Caleb Klauder’s mandolin, supported by the bedrock-solid rhythm foundation of Reeb Willms’ guitar and Nadine Landry’s upright bass. Their singing can’t be left unmentioned: four powerful and exceptional voices resulting in countless combinations of harmonies.

Band:CELLDWELLER
Album:SOUNDTRACK FOR THE VOICES IN MY HEAD VOLUME TWO
Label:FIXT
Format:CD
Genre:Electro Dub / Dubstep/Grime/Hip Hop
Soundtrack for the Voices in my Head Vol. 2 both meets and transcends the expectations placed on the followup to Celldweller's first volume of instrumental soundtrack material. Everything you loved about Celldweller is still here - pounding riffs, intricate electronics, flourishes of orchestral strings - but new elements now expand the scope of Celldweller's instrumental ouevre. Dubstep-inspired bass-play, flirtations with Moohmbaton and progressive metal, and several shades of ambient experimentation round out the diversity of sounds here. Soundtrack for the Voices in my Head Vol. 2 is primed to continue Celldweller's domination of film, television and video game trailers with unforgettable original music.

Band:BLUE STAHLI
Album:ANTISLEEP VOLUME 2
Label:FIXT
Format:CD
Genre:Dance/Electronica
“So just what in the hell is Antisleep Vol. 02? Much like Vol. 01 it's a collection of tracks that I wrote for film and TV so you can hear Blue Stahli stomping through every possible form of media. Antisleep is a bit different than the vocal based self-titled album not only because it is largely instrumental, but because there are ZERO genre-restrictions, allowing me to flail wildly from heavy guitar-driven rock'n'roll to funkyass breakbeats to full on electro to glitzy Vegas action to a bit of punky stuff. Antisleep Vol. 02 is definitely a more upbeat affair and contains a nearly lethal dose of The Funk”. - Bret [Blue Stahli]
|
Band:BLUE STAHLI
Album:ANTISLEEP VOL 01
Label:FIXT
Format:CD
Genre:Dance/Electronica
After a promising debut artist single, "Kill Me Every Time", Blue Stahli wrote a handful of short but powerful instrumental cuts geared for Film/TV/Video Game licensing. It was a stretching of limbs and a cracking of knuckles, so to speak, before Stahli turned his attention back to creating a proper artist debut album. Antisleep Vol. 01 collects 18 of those eclectic, high-energy production tracks and proves that this is an artist who can appropriate any genre that wanders across his path - from scorching alternative rock to dancy electro to funky breaks.

Band:NEIL CAMPBELL AND ROBERT HORTON
Album:TROJANDROPPER
Label:ZUM
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Drone/Ambient
Neil Campbell is known for his Astral Social Club solo project and as a member of Vibracathedral Orchestra and numerous collaborations spanning two decades. Robert Horton got his start in the San Francisco punk-noise act in 1979 and spent most of the ‘90s in hibernation doing home recordings. Horton returned in the ‘00s with a slew of releases, including collaborations with Tom Carter, Loren Chasse, and members of Yellow Swans.
Although Campbell and Horton have never met in person, they met virtually on a mailing list and set out to make a disco record via post. They went wildly off the mark of disco into a stranger, unforeseen terrain. "It was a good idea," writes Campbell, "but you're also correct to draw attention to the missing of original target, which I really like - nothing better than the happy accident." Horton continues, "collaborations are about being surprised and this one did that often. Just when I thought I knew where it was going it went somewhere else." They produce organic, almost crystalline drones with off kilter beat patterns and lopsided techno.
“Neil Campbell is so affable and self-effacing, he’d probably wince if you called him one of the most important experimental musicians of the last 20 years. But you’d be right…Campbell has made vital work that consistently challenges classification and upends expectation.” – Marc Masters, Pitchfork

Band:GERM
Album:LOSS
Label:Eisenwald
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Following the critically acclaimed debut album ‘Wish’, that got a massive positive press around the world for its extraordinary character, now comes 6 new songs from Germ, the solo project of Tim (AUSTERE, GREY WATERS, ex-WOODS OF DESOLATION, ex-NAZXUL,). With a running time of over 36 minutes, ‘Loss’ takes you on a trip from the very first notes. At once a continuation of the sound Tim created on the debut album, as well as a giant leap forward, ‘Loss’ means the next chapter in the musical evolution of Germ !
“This is the sound Black Metal unbound.” THE METALOBSERVER
GERM is the solo project of Tim (Austere, Grey Waters, ex-Nazxul) and is everything fans of an emotive style of heavy music could have hoped for ! Germ was conceived by Tim as early as 2003. The idea behind Germ was to create something that not only combined the Atmospheric Black Metal and Rock, Tim has become known for with his love of Classical, Pop and Electronic styles of music, but to create an image and visual aspect to accompany the music. In 2006 one track from the unpublished EP, „Raving Mad With Sadness“, was uploaded to Myspace, and to this day gains considerable praise. This early song shows glimpses of what was to come, featuring an extended electronic breakdown and clean vocals mixed with Tims hellish shrieks. After almost 3 years of inactivity, where the focus was on other projects, Tim entered SLS studios in October 2009 to begin tracking for what was to become the debut full length Germ album but it wasnt until september 2011 till the album could be finally completed and finally release through Eisenwald in May 2012.

Band:MASTER
Album:ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD CREATED MASTER
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:VINYL LP WITH 7"
Genre:Death Metal
In the middle of the now quite epic discography of MASTER, ‘On The Seventh Day, God Created… Master’ always stood out like some kind of bizarre sore thumb. Released in 1991 at the height of the death-metal popularity and recorded at the then mandatory Morrisound studios in Florida with of course Mr Scott Burns seated the producer’s chair, this was meant to be the band ‘breakthrough’ album. But as usual with Paul Speckmann and co.s, fate intervened and this wasn’t meant to be, even though if in the end, it sold more than 25,000 copies in its first year alone. It nevertheless remains a favourite among fans, not only because it features the track “Heathen” but also because it is the band only recording with Paul Masdival from CYNIC (who was barely twenty years old back then) on guitar, who was called upon at the 11th after former six-stringer Jim Martinelli was fired by their manager only to days after arriving in Florida! It also sees John Tardy from OBITUARY guesting on two tracks plus former one time MORBID ANGEL bass player John Ortega doing leads on “Whose Left To Decide” and is overall maybe the closest MASTER had ever been to become a full-on death-metal machine. But by the time Speckmann had hired two new members and got set to record its follow-up ‘Collection Of Souls’, their sound had once again shifted to a much more in-your-face and punkish sound. But that’s another story… Anyway, besides the usual classy DOOMENTIA treatment (gatefold cover, hardcover), the one thing that most likely get all diehard fans to salivate here are the three extra tracks, pressed on a separate 7 inches glued to the inside jacket of this reissue. Known among tapetraders as the ‘1991 demo’, those songs were recorded in Chicago prior to the album, to see how the new songs sounded when performed by the ‘Speckmann project’ line-up, with Aaron Nicklas on drums and Jim Martinelli on guitar. An addition that makes this reissue even more mandatory and for once, not only for MASTER fans but for connaisseurs of early 90’s death-metal as well.
Limited edition LP of 500 copies only - Bonus 7" EP - Casewrapped gatefold jacket with glued-in 7EP jacket.

Band:LAHAR
Album:AZ PRIJDE CAS
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Thrash/Crossover Metal
Ltd one-sided 12! MLP w/silkscreening on the B-side / printed insert.
Yeah, yeah, we still can understand a bloody word of what those Czech bastards in LAHAR are sayin’. But fear not boys and girls as what matters the most here, the MUSIC, hasn’t changed a bit since last year’s second full-length ‘Umeni Strachu’ (‘The Art Of Fear’). As a matter of fact, this brand new four tracks EP called ‘Až přijde čas’ might even faster and meaner that its predecessor! Now entering its tenth year as a band, still featuring two members of RADIOLOKATOR and still loyal to the manic sound of the late 80’s crossover and thrash scene, this is another proof that LAHAR simply don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Recorded last winter in Hellsound studio and once again adorned with a splendid and apocalyptic artwork by Andrei Bouzikov, this one-sided 12 inches EP with a fantastic looking silkscreening on the B-side is another not-to-be-missed release by the European answer to MUNICIPAL WASTE!

Album:BURY THE ONES WE LOVE
Label:METALBOX
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
Soldierfield formed in late 2011 with the aim of putting a bomb under the contemporary metal scene. Their debut EP ‘Bury The Ones We Love’ features 5 tracks showcasing the band’s blueprint of melody, harmony and hooks over an apocalyptic soundtrack of energy-fuelled guitars and warzone drums.
Drawing on influences from across the rock and metal spectrum, Soldierfield released an early demo track at the turn of 2012 before recording the EP with producer Steve Wray (Blaze, Rise To Addiction) during May/June 2012. Based on that one track, industry insiders are already whispering about Soldierfield as being ‘one to watch’.

Band:YEAR OF NO LIGHT
Album:AUSSERWELT
Label:MUSIC FEAR SATAN
Format:DOUBLE VINYL LP
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Year of no Light spent most of the last 4 years spreading its enthralling psychedelic warfare to a continually growing audience. Alongside they parted ways with their singer and recruited two other thirsty mercenaries. Shiran, of über-doom combo “Monarch!”, brings now his chthonian six strings to an already massive cathedral of noise and ambient drone tones. Mathieu, of deviant-electronics act “Aeroflot”, strengthens ritualistic tribal rhythm patterns. Out of their cave, they secluded into an old theater to record these 4 tracks catching every possible vibration of the trembling frame of this enlivened a new mansion. All the energy collected at that very moment forms “Ausserwelt”, the sophomore album of Year of no Light. Mystical emanations flow out of these riffs colliding into each other to an in ear-splitting shriek. Cranked amps and molested drums hurl their mourning chant as a choir intoning its final psalms at the dawn of the Last Judgment. Year of no Light follows the path opened by “Nord” towards more somber psychedelics, creating its own blend of black metal, sludge, drone or any other influence marked with the seal of darkness.
Exclusive Double Vinyl Bonus track (“Ossuaire”)
For fans of NEUROSIS, BARONESS & MONO.

Band:PARACHUTES
Album:BLUEPRINTS
Label:REDFIELD
Format:CD
Genre:Punk / Emo
The Parachutes are back! This, however, is something which pretty much becomes evident after the first run-through of the new album. “Blueprints“ tells the (fictitious) story of architect Nate Anderson and is the courageous effort of a band who has clearly gotten uncomfortable in their skintight genre-corset. “Starting out as a three-chord punk band, we became a three-chord emo/screamo/post-hardcore band and have since evolved into three-chord rock band“, Jung laughingly sums up the musical development PARACHUTES have undergone. “This time, right from the beginning, we agreed that anything goes musically. That is why we experimented a lot more than we did on the previous records. We wanted to be free from all the restrictions that seem to come with being part of a scene, something we had burdened ourselves with over years, I guess. With this album, we didn’t just want to repeat ourselves and do the same thing over again. The idea was to break new ground and create something original, something with a genuine meaning to us.“

Most of the 13 songs have been written on tour and conserve the freedom of the road for home listening pleasure. The band did sustain minor injuries during the recording of the album due to adopting an abandoned couch off the street in New Orleans. The band is also known as the backing band for Kimya Dawson...

More than 15 years after the release of "Frozen Souls", today revered as a cult-album by many death metal aficionados, one of Uruguay's most loved metal sons, INNER SANCTVM has been resurrected by founder/guitarist Heber W. Hammer. Strong with an international line-up including original drummer Álvaro García, singer Anton Reisenegger (Pentagram, Criminal, Lock Up), and bassist Francisco Martín (The Gardnerz, Sacramento, ex-Vesania), INNER SANCTVM finally release the long awaited sophomore album, "Christi Testamenta", which brings their notorious Celtic Frost worship - and in general the black/thrash/death golden aura of late 80s/early 90s - into modern times, in a perfect equilibrium of melody and aggression. For fans of Celtic Frost.

Band:NAR MATTARU
Album:ENUMA FLASH
Label:ATMF
Format:CD
Genre:Death Metal
Hailing from Santiago, Chile, NAR MATTARU are the true and worthy heirs of DOMINUS, one of the most ancient Chilean death metal bands, originally founded in 1992 and later re-incarnated into DOMINUS XUL. Bassist/guitarist Francisco Bravo and drummer Andrés Gonzáles were there since the early days, taking their first steps into death metal and passing into legend. Strengthened by 20 years spent in the underground playing metal, together with singer Carlos Artarys they are now the flesh and blood of NAR MATTARU, a new death metal beast consacrated to the occult. Through a maelstrom of dark riffs and vertiginous bass grooves, NAR MATTARU dig deep into the labyrinths of time, conjuring up ancient forces of evil from spectral dimensions where night is eternal and the most cruel and bloodthirsty Sumerian demons rule supreme.

Band:AEVANGELIST
Album:DE MASTICATIONE MORTUORUM
Label:ATMF
Format:CD
Genre:Death Metal
Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and lead by Matron Thorn and Ascaris (both active under the black metal insignias of Benighted In Sodom), ÆVANGELIST play dark death metal to end all death metal. Like in a terrifying exorcism, the duo has extracted the very essence of the genre out of its arcass, showing it in all its putridity and disgust through the asphyxiating sounds and the growling choirs of the debut album "De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis".

Band:BUNKER 66/BARBARIAN
Album:BUNKER 66 / BARBARIAN Split LP
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Black Metal
Ltd lp - casewrapped jacket / double sided poster / printed inner sleeve.
One could say those bands were due to one day share a split in the first place… Let’s face it, BUNKER66 and BARBARIAN have more in common than most: both bands are Italians, both are power-trios whose music is rooted in the 80’s heavy/thrash scene, both have been officially endorsed by Fenriz from DARKTHRONE in his ‘band of the week’ blog andboth bands have had releases on DOOMENTIA before. Oh yeah and born under the sign of the black mark, they both have the kind of ‘fuck off’ attitude that would make any emo fans weep! So this partnering wasn’t simply due to happen, it HAD to become reality.
So there you go, 25 minutes of glorious black/thrash/punk and whatever for all those warriors to headbang to until you bleed. A glorious throwback to CELTIC FROST and VENOM (BARBARIAN) but also DISCHARGE, BULLDOZER and SODOM (BUNKER66) performed and produced the way it always should be!
And to make the whole thing even more special, as an extra, both acts are paying tribute to their elders. While BUNKER66 have resurrected from the grave “Psychopharmax Convulsions” originally committed to tape by the obscure Italian hardcore band CONVULSED waaaaay back in 1988 and blasted here in less than 53 seconds, BARBARIAN have chosen “Murder Angels” by the legendary DEATH SS, originally released in 1981 on “Horned god of the witches demo”.
For fans of Venom, Celtic Frost, Sodom, Buldozer, Discharge

Band:MINKIONS
Album:DISTORTED PICTURES FROM DISTORTED REALITY
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Punk / Hardcore
Some would have pretend that this is some stupid journo obsession. Or that there’s much more to it than we actually think. But none of that bullshit with MINKIONS… After all, those self-proclaimed kings of ‘raw hardcore splatthrash punk’ have never been beating around the bush regarding the bands they’ve been influenced from day one back in 2006 when they got together after what must have been one of the biggest binge party even known to mankind! When you’ve put to tape a raging WEHRMACHT cover (“Drink Beer Be Free”), have shared splits with CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY or BARBATOS and have a logo which is an obvious tribute to the one used by the mighty ACCÜSED for the last twenty-five years or so, let’s say the writing is on the wall.
So there you go, you do now know the score: raging thrash/speedcore the 80’s way, full of two minutes blast, stupid lyrics about getting fucked up and the kind of insane mosh parts that even your senile grandma won’t be able to resist.

Band:LUNO
Album:LUNO
Label:PALE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL
Format:CD
Genre:Indie/Shoegaze
It´s difficult to find the right word to describe the music of LUNO, a band around Ema Brabcová, former lead-singer of Khoiba. It´s her ethereal voice put against the heavy pounding drums and gorgonizing base guitar that makes the music of LUNO so fulminating. Imagine Nico forming a psychopop band with Thurston Moore, maybe drafting also Dave Grohl. This would come close to LUNO. Its first eponymous album with 8 tracks is full of raw guitar riffs, blownout drums - pounding heavy where the singers keeps silent - and the base going in between with almost hypnotic tunes.

Band:ARSTIDIR
Album:ARSTIDIR
Label:BESTE! UNTERHALTUNG
Format:CD
Genre:SINGER/SONGWRITER
Árstíðir is a vocalbased acoustic band from Reykjavík with a sound unique to the Icelandic music scene. All six members are distinguished players known from various bands in the Reykjavík soundscape. Over the two and a half years since Árstíðir’s formation the band has released two records praised by trendsetting music critics, had two number-one hits on Icelandic radio, made several TV appearances in Iceland, Sweden, Russia, and the Czech Republic, and played sold out venues all over Europe. Árstíðir’s arresting six-part vocal harmonies and lush instrumentation set them apart, effusing a warm tide of resonant acoustic and baritone guitars, virtuosic piano, and melismatic strings. The result is an uncommonly wide spectrum of sound, driven by the members' exceptional vocal range. Consequently, Árstíðir’s music is a rare composition of the clear-cut and the complex. Their songs are easy to fall in love with, yet mixed with diverse influences such as progressive rock, indie, classical chamber music, and Icelandic folk music.
Re-release from the first Album • Incl. the No. 1 Hitsingle in Iceland “Sunday Morning!
