The concept of Genocide on this release is a conclusion to the "Damascus Steel" album (2005) and will continue the blood letting and artery severing lyrics in preparation for the next album to be titled "The Passion and Death of Iesous". This will be a concept album detailing the life and death of the Jewish Rabbi, Yeshua - his humanity, zealot connections, arrest and crucifixion and his ultimate deification.
Excellent release of oppressive Dark Ambient.
Great old-school black/death in the vein of Sarcofago and Beherit!
Debut release from this relatively unknown horde who could easily evolve to compete in the critically lauded Eastern European nationalist scene.
Tranquil melodies summon waves of depression, only for the intensity to swarm into prog like moments of rage, where the screams of Arganoth Doom spew hatred back into the world. The outcome inspires premonitions of infinite despair as this release is the blueprint of ones emotional breakdown. Misery's Omen follow's squarely in the path forged by Bethlehem and other such bands.
A monolith of Crushing Funeral Doom, full of Loss, Sorrow and Sadness. With a sound as dense as a tombstone, feel your life wither away, like a dying rose on a forgotten grave... For fans of Nortt, Mournful Congregation and Skepticism.
MONARCH! unleash a slow motion avalanche of impossibly glacial, blackened sludge and hypnotic feedback, each song a series of epic tar pit riffs stretched out eternally over lumbering drums and the cavernous rumble of speaker cabinets. Over these yawning expanses of black void appears the demonic, throat-shredding shrieks and ghostly singing of Emilie, whose petite appearance belies one of the harshest throats in the underground Doom spectrum. Beyond heavy. MONARCH!'s mega-crawling ambient doom/drone/sludge follows in the grand tradition of fellow tar pit adventurers Melvins, Corrupted, Noothgrush, and Black Sabbath, and accompany their music with an iconoclastic design style that decorates their material with deceptively cute imagery drawing from the collective influence of Sanrio, Japanese animation, European graffiti, weirdo hardcore, and skateboard culture. This double CD set contains both MONARCH!'s newest album Die Tonight, and the now out-of-print Speak Of The Sea LP, both released in limited vinyl editions as European imports, with additional unreleased songs exclusive to this release. The North Amercian version of Dead Men Tell No Tales is presented in an offset-printed, 4-panel case printed by Stumptown Printers, with all new original artwork in the band's unique design style.

After an acclaimed demo issued on CD by Viva Hate, Monarque is back with his gloomy Black Metal. Fier heretique is a dark and doomed short length album summoning the freezing winds of the north. No drum machine this time around. Very nice.
Includes Rehearsal '95, Rehearsal February '96, Rehearsal '96 II and a bonus Video clip!
Lamented and fiery Black Metal which is of the pure old school variety!
The band continues their reign as forerunners of the folk / viking metal scene, crafting triumphant sounds of epic proportions.
Black Metal with the old grand flair of Polish rawness. Following closely in the footsteps of old Graveland, Fullmoon, Veles etc. Yet they have managed to keep their sound highly original. As a bonus on this CD, Graveland and Emperor covers are included!
One of the best releases from the legendary Moontower!
Excellent release of original, chaotic Death Metal. Easily their best work to date!

Old School Black Metal from Sweden.
Based on concept of death, astral elevation, after death, fear of the unknown, nightmare and evil. Five songs of morbid and raw French Black Metal.
Crushing assault from the Cezch Republic in an awesome debut album. Furious old school Death Metal that remembers the glorious times of early Dismember, Entombed, Unleashed or At The Gates.
Mortuus works with the primal, building ghostly fires. Chords strum measurably; dissonant jangles light the way like flickering candles. Raspy growls reverb into the distance, while drums steadily goad on the funeral procession. Basslines slowly roll like wagon wheels over dead bodies. Electricity hangs thick in the air. For some, this metal will seem lightless; others will revel in its shades of black.
$13 US/Canada $16 World

The lords of gore return!! Their latest release on a picture LP!!
$13 US/Canada $20 World
A harsh dose of raw, thrashing Black Metal that harkens back to the old days. "In the Realm of Flesh" received a well-deserved 8/10 in Terrorizer magazine.
From the surreal, nightmare-evoking textures that speak to the most ancient and basic part of our beings that which understands without attaching judgment to the unabashedly raw renditions of suffering brought on by the purposefully unintelligible, wretched vocals and the seething guitar-work, the listener may draw parallels but will surely find no equal to what is found here. All assumptions you might make as to the musical influences that may or may not have imprinted themselves upon this record may just as well be wrong. So simply listen and let the music wash over you.
Uncovering a Dark Jewel of Black/Death Metal History. Features prominent members of the US Underground who wish to keep their identities concealed. Rituals of cold brutality & inhuman terror achievement. Total Death and Destruction to the worthless plague called the human race is what Nekroholocaust desire.
The debut album from this Swedish Doom trio is sure to appeal to fans of My Dying Bride, Candlemass, Katatonia, early Paradise Lost, and early Bethlehem. Nex features within its ranks, Tore Stjerna (Necromorbus Studio, Chaos Omen, Ofermod, Funeral Mist, Watain, etc), Perra Karlsson (Nominon, In Aeternum), and Par Gustavsson (Bergraven).
Continuing the psychaesthetic martyrdom that has begun with the last album, taking it to a more focused and meditative, sacred state of glorious spiritual tragedy. Witness this great hyper delusion of flesh, lost in the triarchy of psyche, death and god...
$13 US/Canada $16 World

Noctuary - When Fires
Breed Blood
Featuring a thick sound and pulling influences from 80's thrash and
early 90's Black Metal, this was one of the more over-looked and underrated
USBM releases of the past several years.
French suicidal Black Metal recommended for fans of Forgotten Tomb, Shining and Xasthur.
