TAPEs Noctiferum (AU) "Serenades of the Impure" -tape 7.00EUR NEW (2009-Bibliotheca Apostolica Septem Coronatorum) ""Serenades of the impure" is an intelligent and sinister demo, able to melt in a convincing way the pure Swedish sound, the atmosphere and the brutality of orthodox tunes with the majestic touch of acoustic passages and interludes. Simple but fierce, powerful but catchy, "Serenades of the impure" is a great sounding demo, where all elements find the right dimension, emerging together from a deep magma. If you are looking for something that can evoke the majesty of early Dissection, the evilness of Watain and the groove of certain Craft, this is the demo for you. Released as exclusive tape in white card-board box with golden accents. Limitedto 358 hand-numbered copies." http://www.myspace.com/noctiferum 08.03.2010 CDs Hooded Menace (FI) "Fulfill the Curse" -cd 12.00EUR RESTOCK (2008-Razorback Records-RR47) "Who are these unholy savages who hunt out their victims by sound alone? They are HOODED MENACE, arisen from their tombs to unleash Hell on Earth!

The We Live line-up consists of former Iron Monkey drummer Justin Greaves, crust Doom legend Liz Buckingham formerly of Sourvein on second guitar and Bournemouth native Rob Al-Issa on bass. We Live dispels any such notions of an end in sight or a weakening of strength. In fact, We Live is one granite fisted smack in the face to all those who didn’t believe. Doom or be doomed!"

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..." http://www.myspace.com/officialarckanummyspace Avulsed (SP) "Nullo" -cd 12.00EUR NEW (2009-Xtreem Music) "Long awaited 5th album of these Spanish masters of relentless Death Metal.

"Full-length from French sludge band Overmars, a single album-long piece that descends deep into themes of horror, self-immolation, and rebirth. Overmars has already established their atmospheric, electronically tainted sludge-metal sound on splits with Donefor, Iscariote, Fuguee, and Icos as well as on their excellent 2005 album Affliction, Endocrine...Vertigo, but Born Again is something entirely new for the band. This 40-minute epic moves from pulverizing, industrial dirge blanketed with heavily textured layers of guitar to passages of dark, haunting ambience and bottom-heavy churn, while fearsome, guttural roars alternate with captivating female vocals. A magesterial finale stretches gloom-ridden, moody riffage, vaporous electronics, and dramatic singing over the song´s last fifteen minutes, building into an earth-shaking crescendo. Immensely bleak and heavy, Born Again brings together elements of death metal, black metal, psychedelia, Godflesh´s industrial pummel, and the crushing nihilism of Swans for an austere sound of their own, moving Overmars even further from the Neurosis comparisons garnered by their past releases." http://www.destroyalldreamers.org/ Phlegethon (FI) "Drifting in the Crypt" -DCD 15.00EUR NEW (2010-Xtreem Music) "Double CD which includes all recordings from ´89 to ´08 by this mythic Finnish Death Metal band.

The Shadow Over Atlantis is not entirely ignorant of its more modern suburbia, that is to say they have a penchant for slight atmospheric melody that one might hear in many modern atmospheric/ambient black or doom metal bands, but the chords and vocals themselves fall somewhere in between Candlemass and St. Vitus, or Black Sabbath and Skepticism, and their willingness to branch off into ambient segues of dreary, minimal piano and the sheen of ages to transcend the limits of the pure rock foundation. The Wounded Kings are one of those great and rare doom metal acts whom you should listen to immediately if you have ever partaken in the genre with anything bordering personal rapture."

Yes, they. Musically wise, ANIMA MORTE and HOODED MENACE may seem to have little to do with each other: whereas the first one is an instrumental quartet from Sweden recreating with vintage keyboards the purity of 80’s horror movies soundtrack - think ZOMBI switching obsessions and focusing on Italian giallos instead of John Carpenter’s – HM is on the surface a far more vile beast, a truly putrid death/doom band celebrating the long dead spirit of the cursed Templars, aka the Blind Dead, with gurgling vocals (courtesy of PHLEGETHON / CLAWS / VACANT COFFIN Lasse Pyykkö) and heavy-as-fuck six strings from Hell. But both of them were bred on unholy grounds. And both have crossed the Styx, seen the other side and came back to tell the tale.

Through their music, Amesoeurs portray a world of urban decay, a lifeless wasteland and a dark realm that becomes all too real in an age of social decay. By mixing elements of harsh melancholic black metal, post-punk and ë80s new wave influenced by the likes of JOY DIVISION, early CURE, and DEPECHE MODE, ìAmesoeursî is an album that shows the ever expanding talents of Neige and mixes elements from each of the aforementioned genres into one mind-numbing and unrelenting sonic journey where each song is a different expression that weave together to form an album that will go down as one of the most memorable releases of 2009.

Lurching doomic slow and low, heavy on the bass, heavy on everything really, but the songs were pretty reliant on thick bass grooves and the pounding drums, lazy sunbaked Kyuss-y riffs were then draped over the top, plenty of wah guitar, and wailed, sung not screamed vocals, that were also reminiscent of the late great Kyuss. This is not funeral doom, or ultra doom, this is groovy stoner doom, classic metal filtered through the sound of old school doom. Sabbath, Pentagram heaped with some Kyuss, left out in the desert to bake, doused in LSD, just enough to give it a slightly psychedelic vibe, and let loose." http://www.myspace.com/egyptdoom Snail (US) "Blood" -digicd 12.00EUR NEW (2009-MeteorCity Records-MCY-050) "Analogous to the slow, relentless power of erosion, SNAIL melts mountains and reshapes earth with their latest offering, "Blood."

Limited 500 copies." http://ordo-aaaa.org/arkha-sva/ 09.02.2010 CDs Amber Asylum (US) "Bitter River" -digicd 12.00EUR NEW (2009-Profound Lore) "Reflecting back towards the earlier era of the act in which mastermind Kris Force (she being the long time collaborator for such seminal acts as NEUROSIS and SWANS) manifested, Bitter River is an unearthing of the magic and updating the immaculate vibe with Amber Asylum’s current carnation. Now featuring co-writer Leila Abdul-Rauf (SAROS) in the Amber Asylum ranks, along with appearances by longtime Amber Asylum cello player Jackie Perez-Gratz (GIANT SQUID, GRAYCEON, ASUNDER etc.), the dominating low-end frequencies courtesy of bass player Eric Wood of BASTARD NOISE fame, flute player Sigrid Sheie (HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE), drummer Chiyo Nukaga (GRAVES AT SEA, NOOTHGRUSH), and also featuring a guest narration by JARBOE (ex-SWANS), it is through each member’s respective lent talent that brings forth the illustrious presence emanating from Bitter River." http://www.myspace.com/amberasylum Caïna (UK) "Temporary Antennae" -digicd 12.00EUR RESTOCK (2008-Profound Lore-PFL038) "With the critical acclaim that had befallen last year’s “Mourner”, “Temporary Antennae” simply takes the framework from it’s predecessor (as well as the “Some People Fall Debut”) and brings it to a whole new aesthetical power resulting in the new album not only being the most intense Caїna album yet, but the most pop-influenced Caїna album as well. It was hinted in the past that certain post-rock and indie-rock elements have found their way into the harsh landscape that mastermind Andrew Curtis-Brignell had initially created with Caїna, influences that ranged from 4AD rock, to neo-folk, and acoustic-song (ala Bruce Springsteen “Nebraska” era) that melded within experimental and harsh raw black metal. This time, “Temporary Antennae” finds other influences making their way into the sound picture that builds upon Brignell’s vision, influences such as ones reflective of the aesthetic brought forth from such essential acts as Joy Division and The Cure (“Pornography” era)." http://www.myspace.com/cainaband Cobalt (US) "Landfill Breastmilk Beast" -digicd 12.00EUR RESTOCK (2008-Profound Lore-PFLEP03) "At 44 minutes in length (longer than your average EP length), “Landfill Breastmilk Beast” presents three exclusive tracks: ‘Stomach’, a crushing new track that will be featured on the next full length, ‘Extinction’ which is a Nausea cover, and the epic ambient piece, namely ‘Ritual Use Of Fire’, a piece created solely by vocalist Phil McSorley during a time of isolation several years ago and a piece that runes a course of 29 minutes. Surely the name ‘Ritual Use Of Fire’ rings a bell for those who indulged in “Eater Of Birds”, said piece serving as the three acoustic ambient interludes on said album. Nonetheless, “Landfill Breastmilk Beast” pretty much presents ‘Ritual Use Of Fire’ in its entirety, although somewhat updated and augmented by the band last minute for this EP. It’s a very introspective piece, experimental of course where surrounding environmental sounds become captured, but quite moving and extremely dark in nature, yet beautiful and in a way, unique. Presented in a nicely designed 6-panel digipack." http://www.myspace.com/stinktown666 Dolentia/Tumulum (PT) "Da Terra Que Comungamos" -cd 12.00EUR NEW (2009-Egg of Nihilism-ENP008) "Violent and raw yet emotional black metal, based on nationalism and occultism vs. black metal forged on relentless strikes of conquest & battlecries for the glory of the ancients." http://www.dolentia.pt.vu/ - http://www.myspace.com/tumulumbm Forteresse (CA) "Les Hivers de Notre Époque" -cd 12.00EUR RESTOCK (2008-Sepulchral Productions-SP010) "Forteresse goes more epic than ever with a new album centered on Québec´s glorious winters, seen through a historical perspective. Icy cold sound and guitar leads, a raw and ambient productions that evokes the flurries of a nighttime snowstorm, and clasic peoms from Québec´s own legends Émille Nelligan and Albert Lozeau compliment this enthralling and gripping Black Metal piece." http://www.myspace.com/forteresse Gris (CA) "Il Était une Forêt" -cd 12.00EUR RESTOCK (2007-Sepulchral Productions-SP008) "Gris is back with the second chapter of their quest (which will end at chapter seven) to find the perfect balance between despair and joy, ugliness and beauty. Extremely depressive while at the same time hauntingly beautiful, "Il était une forêt" sees the band expand its sorrowful Black Metal by adding violins, pianos and classical passages." http://www.myspace.com/niflheim5 Gris (CA) "Neurasthénie" -cd 12.00EUR RESTOCK (2006-Sepulchral Productions-SP004) "Mournful, sorrowful and depressive, Gris´ atmospheric Black Metal celebrates the beauty of despair.

Don´t see this as a conventional "split" album, but rather as a collaboration between Annatar from Sombres Forêts and Icare and Neptune from Gris, both bands yearning to stray away from their usual register to venture into darker and more tortured paths. Sometimes more atmospheric, sometimes heavier, but always enthralling, Misere Luminis will both surprise and delight fans of the bands..." Half Makeshift (US) "Omen" -digicd 12.00EUR NEW (-Profound Lore) "Omen is a devastating observation of formidable experimental ambient drone-like subtle mastery. With moments that reminisce with such like-minded acts as NADJA, SUNN 0))), GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR, and A SILVER MOUNT ZION, “Omen” is an opus of dense and flowing sonic terrain where cinematic sound visions create vast, desperate, and devastating scenarios, almost serving its purpose like a desperate doomsday soundtrack. From such scenarios as a blissful jaunt amongst a great ocean or a vast open field, to such disturbing yet picturesque scenarios where crumbling destructive frequencies envision skyscrapers falling and crumbling into the sea or an enormous tide crashing down onto civilization. Working as one 50+ minute track, but separated into four parts, “Omen” (mastered beautifully by JAMES PLOTKIN) subtly shifts through different emotions and feelings that create a general overall mood for the entire picture; a mood that can be quite soothing and comforting, yet at the same time virulent and uneasy, and ultimately eerie and chilling. Through incredible use of melody via light guitar strums and guitar ambience, melded with waves of static bursts, ivory key tappings that create the build-up that will inevitably come in the form of massive drone rumblings, Omen is an observation within such a genre that will bring more awareness to the wonder that is (the now defunct) Half Makeshift. " http://www.myspace.com/halfmakeshift Hammers of Misfortune (US) "Fields/Church Of Broken Glass" -DCD 14.00EUR NEW (2008-Profound Lore) "Probably the most ambitious Hammers undertaking yet; two new full length albums released together at the spine with each album being distinct from one another (musically and aesthetically), Fields and Church Of Broken Glass present a new chapter in the evolving musical journey of America’s most exquisite and unique metal band today. With a new and augmented line-up intact, and with a proggier, warmer, tighter, and more-vintage sound at their disposal, Hammers Of Misfortune deliver heavy metal artistry like no other band in the metal scene today. Definitely a different expression than past works, with two new voices in the fold and with an expansion and progression in their sound like never before, Fields and Church Of Broken Glass are moving journeys through a poetic musical landscape that is expansive, almost-theater/Broadway musical-like with different characters telling the many tales of struggle, uprising, and victory from many points of view." http://www.myspace.com/hammersofmisfortune Monkeypriest (SP) "Defending the Tree" -mcd 8.00EUR NEW (2009-Féretro Records-FR001) "Vicious, corrosive and primate Sludge in the vein of Grief, Eyehategod, Moho etc. Debut release." http://www.myspace.com/monkeypriest Portal (AU) "Swarth" -digicd 12.00EUR NEW (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. Packaged in a stunning gatefold hard cover Stoughton produced 5 x 5 digi-sleeve, with a 16-page booklet and a designed inner sleeve which houses the CD." http://www.myspace.com/the-portal Saros (US) "Acrid Plains" -digicd 12.00EUR NEW (2009-Profound Lore) "They made a good impression with their Five Pointed Tongue debut several years ago, but with their new masterwork Acrid Plains, Saros will simply display that there is such thing as creativity within the U.S. metal scene. Just that it dwells within the underground, naturally. With a myriad of styles and influences that make their way amongst the Saros musical canvas, Saros still manage to carve out a distinct identity that puts them alongside the elite, which comprises of such acts as Hammers Of Misfortune, Ludicra, Asunder, and Amber Asylum respectively. Featuring members from revered acts as BASTARD NOISE, Amber Asylum, and the legendary Weakling, Saros meld influences that can be reflected with such genres as extreme progressive metal (later era DEATH), traditional epic metal (“…And Justice For All” era METALLICA), aristocratic metal (Hammers Of Misfortune), with a splash of Ludicra-esque black metal, chamber music (Amber Asylum), along with the neo folk sensibilities found within artists like DEATH IN JUNE and AGALLOCH." http://www.myspace.com/saros Sombre Labyrinthe (BE) "Heptagram rising" -cd 12.00EUR NEW (2008-Egg of Nihilism-ENP002) "Debut album from Sombre Labyrinthe.

More powerful and with a bigger sound that on Quintessence, Royaume de Glace also sees Anatar developing the band´s acoutsic side. Sombres Forêts offers brooding, majestic Black Metal of the highest calibre." http://www.myspace.com/sombresforets9 Temnohor (SK) "The Pride of Carpathian Forests" -cd 12.00EUR NEW (2008-Egg of Nihilism-ENP008) "Dare yourself into a journey through deep and forgotten woods, under the shadow of the horns...

A raw, murky, and brutally ambient atmosphere is created through some of the most vile, guttural, and evil sounding death metal to surface all year." http://www.myspace.com/vasaeleth Winterfylleth (UK) "The Gost of Heritage" -digicd 12.00EUR NEW (2008-Profound Lore) "Musically mirroring the musical aesthetics the likes of such noteworthy acts as (old-school) ENSLAVED, DRUDKH, HATE FOREST, PRIMORDIAL, and ISENGARD, Winterfylleth plan on signaling a new movement within the UK black metal scene and helping to build a new identity and paradigm shift for UK black metal. Thematically, The Ghost Of Heritage focuses around themes that re-tell and reminisce about England’s historical past, digging deep into the roots of England’s history. Whether it being Winterfylleth honouring the fallen warriors who’ve sacrificed their lives for their homeland, to famous battles fought, vital historical monuments, or the vast landscapes themselves that played a part in England’s history, The Ghost Of Heritage wants to simply bring relevance to England’s heritage." http://www.myspace.com/winterfylleth WOLD (CA) "Stratification" -digicd 12.00EUR NEW (2008-Profound Lore) "Stratification is the Wold clan’s most unconventional recording to date. Even more bizarre and surreal than its predecessors, Stratification’s mission statement is pretty much symmetrically crystal clear; to worship and adhere to the wrath of winter. Like an unforgiving maelstrom of harsh sonic buzzsaw-like waves, through violent claustrophobic audial flurry, listening to Stratification is akin to being caught in an unrelenting crystallizing snow storm while wandering, and totally lost on a desolate and vast glimmering Saskatchewan prairie. Blinding and wailing, the uncompromising nature of Stratification, presented in a graciously designed 8-panel digipack, is a noise-filled spectrum of terror, all while presenting some of the most artful, elegant, and thought-provoking poetry that Wold have ever crafted; it is through vocalist Fortress Crookedjaw’s lyrics in which gives balance to Stratification’s violent yet elegant nature." http://www.myspace.com/woldsongs WOLD (CA) "Working Together for Our Privacy" -digicd 12.00EUR NEW (2010-Profound Lore) "WTFOP is a unique Wold listening experience not for the faint at heart or stomach, and definitely not for the weak of mind. And those who suffer from hallucinations or those prone to hearing voices, for better or worse, might find listening to WTFOP dangerous. Working Together For Our Privacy consists of three compositions; sound created within Wold’s thought lodge. The songs can induce harsh trance aural formations and hallucinations. Transformations sent out through the sound ideas which manifested the transgressive waves. Priestly insignificance and reversal religiosity is diabolically executed in your tight virgin ears. The spies in the wires sparkle through like hoarfrost on machine pumps which distribute unconscious aural chemical reaction. The death machine ejaculates toxins but also provides a psyche sanctuary of sorts, but ultimately the inevitable takes hold. Death is the factor." http://www.myspace.com/woldsongs Wrath of the Weak (US) "Alogon" -digicd 12.00EUR NEW (2008-Profound Lore) "Through waves of layered distorted guitars that emit unrelenting ambience through feedback and surreal overtones filtered through an open vast sound picture, through unforgiving repetition and vicious melody to embody a vision of uncompromising hypnosis, WRATH OF THE WEAK can be analogized in this kind of scenario: WEAKLING and ILDJARN tearing away and trying to cannibalize each other in the desert while somewhere on the sidelines, VELVET CACOON observe pretentiously stroking their chins... or some shit like that..." http://www.myspace.com/wotw666 |
