"DEMOSlaughter" showcases the chronicle evolution of the band from the very embryonic stages of them unleashing the rawest and most chaotic death metal of the mid- eighties to a gradual escalation of their very own unique genre known today as "Devil Metal".

The 2nd full-length CEMETERY URN album maintains their self-proclaimed style of "AUSTRALIAN BARBARIC DEATH METAL," yet displays a refinement in the bands style & production techniques while steering well clear of the modern overproduced sound of today. Damon Bloodstorm formerly of war metal legends BESTIAL WARLUST leads the assault with undoubtedly the best vokills of his long career. Andrew Gillon lays down a brutal onslaught of guitars with lead work that is at times moody & epic, before launching into the faster almost shredding style displayed on later ABOMINATOR albums. "The Conquered Are Burned" evokes the primacy of early 90's Death Metal without entirely adhering to the trends of Incantation and Swedish Death Metal worship like the majority of today.
INQUISITION, possessors of one of the most distinctive black metal sounds around, returns after a ominious, three-year slumber in the stygian depths with their highly anticipated fifth album, "Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrososm." Revolving, as always, around the core duo of vocalist/guitarist Dagon and drummer Incubus, INQUISITION create fog-thick, utterly mesmerizing blackness with only two instruments and voice. "Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm," amongst a discography already lined with classics, evokes blackest magick and esoteric mysticism, inducing trance-like states in even the sturdiest constitution - hail the "Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm"! Recommended for worshippers of INQUISITION, because no one else sounds like INQUISITION.
A perverted overdose of raw diabolic metal punk. Sounds like a fist-fight between Hellhammer and Discharge while Motorhead, Bathory & GBH are being blasted in the background! Played by members from other established underground bands.

BURZUM - Fallen (DIGIPAK CD) DIGIPAK CD IN STOCK NOW! Limited Clear Vinyl Gatefold LP in stock soon. Don't ask for pre-orders, just join our email list, watch this page or subscribe to the new arrivals feed here:
Fallen is the 9th studio album from Burzum, and follows the highly critically acclaimed 2010 release Belus which put Burzum straight back at the at the top of the chain as of one of the most innovative and creative metal artists of our time. Fallen follows Belus in sound and structure, and can also be compared to the music on the groundbreaking DET SOM ENGANG VAR. Fallen is more dynamic and hard hitting then Belus and has an even bigger sound, but still carries the same trademark melodic melody lines throughout that makes Burzum sound so iconic and unique.
REVIEW FROM METAL CRYPT: "Finland's URN are back with another insane Black/Thrash assault, much in the vein of the two previous albums. But, if one were to draw a parallel with Destroyer 666, then sound-wise Soul Destroyers is to its predecessors what Phoenix Rising was to Unchain the Wolves: More disciplined, tighter, cleaner and still kicking serious amount of ass, but in a different way - which may require several listens before it really clicks. Fans of both Destroyer 666 and Desaster are bound to find some affinities here, as every time I listened to this album, I always caught a passage - either musical or vocal - that reminded me of those bands. The very aggressive, demented harsh vocals are still here, of course, and kind of drive the show, but without overshadowing the thunderous drums and the vicious, fast and heavy riffs that URN never fail to deliver. The album is overall very fast-paced, sometimes slowing down to the higher end of mid-paced and not much more than that...."
PERVERSOR - Demon Metal (CD) BACK IN STOCK! Comes with a 10-page booklet featuring illustrations & lyrics for each track.
The mid '80s are alive... in 2010! Already a cult name in the underground, on their latest "Demon Metal" mini album PERVERSOR take the evil surge of classic German blackthrash and bolster it with chaotic undercurrents of archaic Brazilian bestiality. However, these Chilean troops of doom are no "retro" joke band, as they're more than able to stand ground with modern bands like Revenge and Diocletian in terms of ultraviolence. Fuck your goofy neo-"thrash" - PERVERSOR bleed leather, spikes, and SATANIC METAL!!!
