CONDENADOS - A Painful Journey Into Nihil (CD) SUGGESTED ITEM OF THE WEEK: A relatively new Doom Metal band hailing from Chile; with a very traditional Heavy Metal / Doom Metal sound. The majority of the songs are sung in English, only a few are sung in Spanish. Carrying the old flame of Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus; Condenados takes those influences to create an ultra heavy and hypnotic rhythm and riff driven album while all sung in clean vocals. The album is an epic and emotional journey to explore the dark side of your mind.

PORTAL - Swarth (12" Gatefold DOUBLE LP) THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER! HELLS HEADBANGERS ARE THE OFFICIAL WORLD WIDE DISTRIBUTOR OF THIS RELEASE. Pressed as a 3-sided 12" DOUBLE LP with etched artwork on side 4. Comes in a DELUXE case-wrapped gatefold cover w/ a 16 page booklet affixed to the inside of the jacket. The latest work of death metal psychosis from Australia's PORTAL, "Swarth" is the death metal release that invokes the end of the world and is Portal's most surreal, disturbing, and irregular offering to date.
VASAELETH / CRUCIAMENTUM - Eroding Chaos Unto Ascendant Flesh (7" Gatefold EP) OUT NOW ON Hells Headbangers: Comes in a glossy gatefold jacket. First 111 copies on traditional black vinyl. All other remaining copies on a sickly shade of purple vinyl with black splatter. Upholding the traditions of old, "Eroding Chaos Unto Ascendant Flesh" is an unholy union of exclusive material from the UKs' CRUCIAMENTUM and Americas' VASAELETH. Two important bands evoking some of the darkest and most brutally ambient evil death metal around these days. Think a bastard manifestation of dISEMBOWELMENT, INCANTATION, IMMOLATION, BOLT THROWER & DEMIGOD.
MORBOSIDAD / WITCHRIST - Split (7" Gatefold EP) OUT NOW ON Hells Headbangers: comes in a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeve showcasing the artwork & design talents of A. Brown. First 111 copies on traditional black vinyl. All other remaining copies on grey vinyl with black splatter. Features two new exclusive tracks from the Bestial Black Metal veterans MORBOSIDAD. Executed in the usual sacrilegious Morboso Metal fashion but with more emphasis on the Death Metal spectrum. New Zealand's WITCHRIST are a combination of Realm of Chaos-era Bolt Thrower, old Incantation, and militant black metal into a monolithic mass of eerie, shifting riffs and pounding drums.
RAVENCULT - Morbid Blood (Short Sleeve) OUT NOW ON HHR: Official 2-sided, quality RAVENCULT shirts. 6 screen front print with 1 screen back print. Price reflects the amount of screens used. All sizes available - only sold through HHR mailorder! *SPECIAL OFFER: both CD & Shirt together for only $23! Limited time offer.

NEW ARRIVALS: Friday, September 23, 2011
MALEVOLENT CREATION - Demo 1987 (12" LP) The ultra-rare Demo of US Death Metal legends MALEVOLENT CREATION, the very first recording done in 1987, in a 24 track, pro facility, that was never released because it was never mixed and finished properly.. Remixed and produced in 2010 @ Shredly Studios in N.Y. by founding guitarist Jim Nickles (also formerly of HELLWITCH, and currently VILE VINDICTION)... This Demo shows quite an unknown side of MALEVOLENT CREATION's sound: it is a testimony of their hybrid origins, closer to a fastened Thrash approach coming from the '80s way of classics like SLAYER, SADUS and DARK ANGEL rather than the pure and crude death metal the band was known for in their later years, making it a total match with FOAD Records' vision. This vinyl edition comes to testify how the original MALEVOLENT CREATION sound was, and what modern technology can do: Side A contains a definitive remix, while side B presents the demo in its original form, sound and fierce raw fury. 6 songs in total. Includes a killer A2 poster and thick printed inner sleeve with unreleased photos, flyers and liner notes!
-DESTRUKTOR "Nailed" -DEIPHAGO "Filipino Antichrist" -HAVOHEJ (Profanatica) "Dethrone The Son Of God" -SHACKLES "Traitors' Gate" -EVIL INCARNATE "Waiting For His Return" -GRENADE "The Howling Damned"
DECEASED - Surreal Overdose (12" LP) OUT NOW ON Hells Headbangers: First 111 copies on colored splatter vinyl. The long-running metal maestros have kept the faith since 1985, summoning a slew of cult releases and building up an immensely dedicated fanbase that has followed the band merrily into hell and back. Now, at the dawn of 2011, King Fowley and his band of 'bangers have returned with their 6th full-length album after 6 long years of waiting! From the band's traditional death thrashing aggression to the liberal dosage of traditional heavy/speed metal, Deceased represents the very best of what any modern (or surviving) metal entity can achieve: quality compositional ability that manages to pay a wonderful compliment to all of its influences, but at the same time sounds incredibly fresh and important. Those who are fond of the band's past works Supernatural Addiction (2000) and Fearless Undead Machines (1997) are in for a particular treat, because Surreal Overdose is every bit as memorable, if not more so.
DEATHHAMMER - Forever Ripping Fast (12" Gatefold DOUBLE LP) OUT NOW ON HHR: 3-sided double LP in gatefold jacket with the demo covers silkscreened on the D side of the record. First 111 copies on colored vinyl (record 1: blue/green 2-sided vinyl, record 2: orange vinyl). All remaining copies with record 1 on black vinyl and record 2 on red vinyl.
First vinyl release from these Norwegian's featuring all of their non-album material to date (yes, even the "Barbaric Onslaught" demo not featured on the CD version) + 1 bonus cover song of SABBAT (Japan) exclusive to this release! Deathhammer deliver a mean evil dose of aggressive thrash/speed metal similar to the first recordings of SODOM and KREATOR with a loose deathlike edge comparable to Australia's VOMITOR. Definitely one of the finer bands amongst the mass amounts of party thrasher shit that will not survive Deathhammer's savage poserhunt!
PERVERSOR - The Awakening Of The Ancient Ones (Short Sleeve) OUT NOW ON HHR: Official 2-sided, quality FRUIT OF THE LOOM brand PERVERSOR shirts. Limited pressing only sold through HHR mailorder. All sizes available! Add the "Demon Metal" CD to your shirt order for only $4! Watch for the new Perversor mini-album attack entitled "The Shadow of Abomination" out late 2011 on Hells Headbangers.
VULCANO - Bloody Vengeance (12" LP on Red Vinyl) Hells Headbangers are the official U.S. distributor of this I Hate Records, Sweden release. Exclusively remastered for this vinyl LP (listen below). Comes in a regular LP jacket with insert. All 500 copies pressed on RED Vinyl. The band was a pioneer in blending together many styles, including thrash and death metal, crafting a unique and heavy sound, influenced by Venom, Hellhammer and Bathory. After releasing the LP Bloody Vengeance, the band went to Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, and participated of a presentation that would become part of the metal history: Festival da Morte (Death Festival), along with the bands Chakal, Mutilator and Guerrilha.
BEHERIT - At The Devil's Studio 1990 (12" LP on White Vinyl w/ Black Splatter) Second pressing on WHITE Vinyl with Black splatters. A handful of black vinyl copies (ltd 100) remain from deadbeat buyers + we have a handful of the KVLT Records European pressing on black vinyl. The HHR American pressing has the exact same layout as the European KVLT pressing but is on 180gram vinyl mastered at 45 RPM for the best fidelity and maximum volume possible. The jacket also has matte finish with UV spot gloss on the artwork, band photo & all text. This release is mostly sold through HHR mailorder only.
"The Oath of Black Blood" is a compilation of a demo and 7" EP.
"At The Devil's Studio 1990" is the REAL debut album!
The VERY FIRST Beherit debut studio album recorded back in 1990! You NEVER HEARD this recording or the two previously UNRELEASED tracks featured! Finally unearthed from Sodomatic Slaughter's personal collection after being lost for the last 20 years. Recorded as a duo by Nuclear Holocausto Vengeance and Sodomatic Slaughter in Ala Ky Studio and mastered in 2010 by Joona Lukala.
NIHILIST - Carnal Leftovers (12" Gatefold LP w/ 7" EP) Nihilist is the ultra-legendary band that transformed into the mighty Entombed. They were the first 100% Death Metal band to come from Sweden. They pioneered the infamous Swedish Death Metal sound that exploded onto the scene in the early 90s with bands like Unleashed, Grave, Dismember, and of course Entombed. Nihilist was created in 1987 by restless teenagers Nicke Andersson (Later in Hellacopters and Deathbreath), Alex Hellid (Entombed), and Leif Cuzner. Their music was super-charged with brutality and high quality riffs courtesy of Andersson. Also within their ranks was Johnny Hedlund (Later of Unleashed) and L.G. Petrov (Entombed). Together with Bathory, and Entombed, Nihilist is without question the most infulential of all Swedish metal bands.

The shows will generally feature music by bands related to HHR and other stuff of interest. Tune in next week for episode #4 to learn about the new HELLCAST contest and how you can win.

A demented burst of first-wave Black Metal exactly 30 years too late but no less ripping and unholy, Midnight rape your ears with a combination of sordid blasphemy and perverted glam metal.

HAVOHEJ (Profanatica) - Man And Jinn (CD) IN STOCK NOW: Original & out-of-print pressing on Paul Ledney's old defunct label Necroscope Productions (still in plastic shrinkwrap)! One of the most extreme & controversial bands to ever walk the face of this earth . Spawned from the black heart of darkness by single minded black soul with goals of unleashing hell on god's green earth , Paul Ledney & his brood of merri-men spew forth black vomit from the darkest reaches of the abyss. "Man And Jinn" is also featured on the "Hornbook Seytan" 10" MLP as a bonus parallel groove for those seeking to experience this recording with analog vinyl sound.
Reduced prices on these 2 underrated vinyl titles. Some "die hard" copies still remain. With their debut full-length on HHR, Prosanctus Inferi retains their blackened barbarity of old but moves away from their earlier Profanatica worship toward a sound that's inscrutably, idiosyncratically unique. Primitive and pounding and yet laced with labyrinthine, serpentine structures that challenge the mind while bruising the body, PROSANCTUS INFERI invoke the occult through utterly twisted, wholly gnarled violence. Watch for their new MLP "Red Streams of Flesh" in stock soon!
BLASFEMIA - Guerra Total (12" LP) OFFICIAL "DISCOGRAFIA TOTAL" including the best sounding remaster of their killer 1988 MLP, the 3 song demo 1988, unreleased track "Immundicia", 2 rare comp. tracks and a full live set 1988! Legendary Colombian blackened Thrash apocalypse featuring members of the immortal cult PARABELLUM! A torrential wall of mangled noise that reverberates sickly from the strings like a vomit fuzz, anticipating eagerly for you to say, "enough is enough"! This is the definitive edition you have been waiting for!! Horrible to the core and quite unintelligible blackened metal of depravity, torturing their instruments into a black mass ritualistic fucked up noise of cruel chantings and drunken poundings, BLASFEMIA are the real Southern American Nightmare, and this total reissue comes to bring the madness back from the grave and testify it forever on!! Comes w/ printed inner sleeve with rare photos, liner notes, lyrics + A2 poster.
