Suffer at the hands of an ungodly, nihilistic onslaught - a seven-track killing spree loaded with cold and calculated menace. The unholy triumvirate eases callously through mood alterations and gear changes, never losing sight of the dark core that resides at the very essence of their being. A call to carnage; a eulogy to atrocity; a mantra of mayhem. Both vicious and subtle, “Cursed, Scarred And Forever Possessed” brings chaos and black death. An ominous air of dread, destruction and devastation can be detected throughout, as CELESTIAL BLOODSHED march hungrily onwards. Pity those foolish enough to stand in their way !"

Goatmoon (FI) "Varjot" -cd 12.00EUR RESTOCK (2011-Werewolf Records) "At last - a new studio album from the controversial Finnish Barbaric Black Metal band. True Black Metal in the perfect nordic style, just like it was forged nearly two decades ago in the age when destructive fire and fallen stones inspired this music to be the battle hymns of the unholy war against christianity.

A compendium of 13 hymns of death based in the old unchangeable art formulae. ´Im Schein Trüben Kerzenlichts´ is only for purists needing the old art to be as raw, moribund, unproduced and bare bone aggressive as it was in the early days. This compendium is the consummated vision of the awakened spirit against the demiurge. The horrifying aura of this art calls you all. Deny the Jewish God and kill the lambs of Jehovah in blasphemy!" http://www.myspace.com/adbaptisterium
LURK (FI) "S/T" -cd 12.00EUR NEW (2012-Total Rust) "LURK´s debut brings a deadly collaboration between doom, death and sludgy black surge. Eccentric mix of grim groove and heady, epic ambiance. It has devoured everyone involved since the first rhythms were pounded down and six tracks have been nailed. The album was recorded at Fantom Studio, Tampere and is recommended to fans of bands like Autopsy, Celtic Frost, Coffins, Winter and even Crowbar. Brute nihilism enfolded in down tempo destruction from Finland." http://www.myspace.com/lurkdoom

The production is freezing, the material is slower then ever and together with the guest vocals of Jonathan Thery (Ataraxie, Hyadningar, Bethlehem, Funeralium), "For The Fallen" is definitely the sickest effort of this suicidal French band so far.

A new age is imminent. "ÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞ" invokes wrath from the world of ice, beckoning snowstorms from the netherworld. As Þjazi and his tribe declare war on the Gods, furious winters descend. Chaos-currents destroy the cosmos; Ragna Røk is upon us. ARCKANUM´s potent Old Norse kennings incite a shift in the balance of all things, providing a snapshot of bleak demise (and rebirth). Shamaatae’s entrancing fifth album mesmerises, enraptures and elicits fear, transporting us on a terrifying journey to realms unvisited. Spontaneous, focused torrents - unmistakeably ARCKANUM - recall an ancient past and ravage the future that never was. Engulfed in black, encased in ice, entrapped in chaos, frozen worlds fall extinct..." Second and last pressing. Get yours while you still can! http://www.myspace.com/officialarckanummyspace

Archgoat (FI) "Heavenly Vulva (Christ´s Last Rites)" -mcd 8.50EUR RESTOCK (2011-Debemur Morti) "ARCHGOAT´s new mini-album "Heavenly Vulva (Christ´s Last Rites)" goes straight for the throat of the self-proclaimed messiah and his wretched mother. Featuring six trademark God-slaying tracks torn directly from the Virgin´s violated womb, this brand new mini album is gloriously crude, divinely tumultuous and deliciously deviant, as we have come to expect from the filthy, fearless Finn black crusaders."
Avichi (US) "The Devil’s Fractal" -digicd 14.00EUR RESTOCK (2011-Profound Lore) "Masterminded by its sole visionary Andrew Markuszewski, AVICHI’s follow-up to the 2007 "The Divine Tragedy" debut is a much more advanced and progressive observation, on a musical and lyrical level. By capturing that ancient black metal spirit and combining it with a challenging and forward-thinking musical template created by Markuszewski’s impeccable vision of black metal, one comparable and not unlike that brought forth from such present day black metal luminaries as Deathspell Omega, Negative Plane, and Leviathan, AVICHI’s "The Devil’s Fractal" comes across as an enlightening, strong-willed and thought provoking diabolical journey of pure black metal terror." http://www.myspace.com/avichispace

Portal (AU) "Swarth" -cd 13.00EUR RESTOCK (***-2009-Profound Lore) "The approach to Portal’s style of death metal has always treaded the fine line between sheer madness and the intricately artful. Cinematic in scope, like a death metal interpretation of The Cabinet Of Dr. Cagliari or the death metal soundtrack to an ancient silent arthouse flick gone terribly awry, Portal have pretty much transcended the interpretation of what death metal should portray, and simply inverted and twisted it to no end. Even moreso with "Swarth". Almost serving as the missing link between Portal’s previous abominations, Swarth continues to bring the band’s aesthetic to new disturbing levels of unease. Musically, Swarth is very labyrinth-like, very claustrophobic and suffocating where twisted counterpoint and scathing dissonance merge with earth scraping atmosphere to unveil the inevitable rising chaos." http://www.myspace.com/the-portal
WOLD (CA) "Freermasonry" -digicd 13.00EUR NEW (2011-Profound Lore) "In the bible Lucifer is greatness and spiritual privacy. He confiscates spiritual into private.

Christ is even given a chance to let go of his sickly ways." http://wold-klan.blogspot.com/

A-side offers 4 tracks filled with diversity in sound and approach. From noisy drones, guitars, rhythm elements, aggressive vocals to grim distortions and cold noises. Captured on reel-to-reel recording, providing organic and live feel to songs. B-side includes monumental long piece live in Greece, which in fact has energy and clarity often unheard even in studio works! Female vocals, harshly driving synthesizer force, genius electronic manipulation. LP shows many faces of Cloama, yet is there is absence of harsh noise and traditional PE.
