SSORC - Infidel Eternal
The debut of raw Black Metal from this blasphemous horde.
Stalaggh - :Nihilistik Terrror:
This release combines both of their previous efforts of audio chicanery :Projekt
Terrror: and :Projekt Nihil: together on one CD with an entirely new sound.
The band updated and re-mastered the sound (done by Xardas of 20.SV) as well
as recorded a brand new track available here only! Sickening sounds from the
audio abyss...
Stargazer - Occidentale Magick
The mixture of intense thrashing death riffs and fusionic technical phrases!
In memory of Japan tour of this Ausie technical deathrashers, this best
album is released with 13 songs including 3 previously unreleased rare
tracks!
Stiny Plamenu -
Odpadni Galerie
Fourth album of Czech Black Metal from the self-described purveyors
of "sewage Black Metal". This album musically and lyrically continues where
their previous records have left off. Raw metal with strong riffs and
melodic moments, recorded with a live drummer for the first time.
Stormfrost - Detaching From Humans
Occult Black Metal from Italy with Natural Element and Hateful Emotion.
Strong debut from this Russian project. Certainly worth looking into for those that enjoy finding slightly obscure gems in the current sea of mediocrity.
Striborg - Autumnal Melancholy
A new release from the misanthropic and highly prolific Striborg.
90 minutes of Striborg in a visual setting...8 songs set to haunting, gloomy imagery, overseen by Sin Nanna himself. Also includes a photo gallery and discography.
Sin Nanna, the prolific Tasmanian devil, offers the second Striborg full-length of 2007 with this chilling 8-song, 71-minute nightmare.
The 2005 full-length from this mysterious necro Black Metal cult from Australia. Some of the rawest, most creepy and haunting music you've ever heard.
Embittered...keeps in the Sin-Nanna tradition and sounds like it was recorded in a wind tunnel w/ a cassette player. Raw as hell.
One of two full-lengths released by the shadowy Black Metal entity Striborg in 2004. Originally released on cassette, this is the Displeased reissue that adds three bonus tracks.
Another work of chilling lo-fi Black Metal from Striborg. Brand new material for 2007.
Another creepy necro excursion by this prolific Tasmanian devil...'Nefaria' is in the grand tradition of the best Striborg: impossibly raw, utterly melancholy, unbelievably bleak.
Stroszek -
Songs of Remorse digipak
With carefully strummed minor key acoustic guitars, deliberate yet
restrained piano lines, bursts of heaviness added for texture and deep, lush
clean sung vocals that relay a sense of dread lurking beneath the surface,
"songs of remorse" is perhaps at once one of the most melancholic yet
accessible albums of 2007.
"Your own life failures made
music." Members of Frostmoon Eclipse.
Styggelse - Bland Andlosa Falt av
Snusk och Hor
Filthy Black Metal of Sweden! Old school Black
Metal with a bottle of Depravity! Influences include Dodheimsgard,
Darkthrone, Bathory, Venom. Translated album title: "among endless fields of
filth and adultery"

SUHRIM stands recognized as Belgium's
oldest and most respected death metal band! 'Cunt collector', the band's

Tenebrous - Arias Toward the Black Sun
New re-issue with bonus material...bumping it towards a full length album!
Razor-sharp and pissed off...imagine Graveland's Carpathian Wolves meets In
the Nightside Eclipse minus synths. Great production and great layout to
boot.
Terhen - Eyes Unfolded
Melodic Doom metal with a bit of an industrial edge. Also death metal has
had its influences but the songs are not only slow but also atmospheric and
melodic. Enchanting melody lines, growling vocals and clean female ones,
keyboards and thick guitars do it all. These 53 minutes are a long trip
along the various paths of life where your eyes can be closed or be
opened...
Testphasen Negative - How I Won The War /Wie Ich den Krieg
Gewann
The remnants of a post-apocalyptic world are painted through the use of
ambient, post-rock and with hints of power electronics. "How I Won the War/wie

with 18 tracks of desolate retrospection. CD comes packaged in 6-panel A5
size foldout sleeve.
Thorngoth - Thelema Of Destruction
Occult, varied, traditional Black Metal in the Swedish
vein.
Thou - Peasant
Every now and again the rare occasion arises that you come across a record
clearly created by fanatics that simply can't help but stand apart from the
crowd. Fanatics that have deep roots in nothing else but bashing out the
most grim yet beautiful sounding doom.. doom isn't the genre here, doom is
the atmosphere. Eyes peer beyond shadows and blood flows beneath footprints.
The world is not as vast as the mind. Reality suffers the consequence and we
are it's slaves. Needless pain and suffering are all around you, Thou are
not the answer... they are the alternative. No true pleasure can ever be
experienced without a healthy dose of pain. Look no further. Presented in a
deluxe 16 page booklet.

T.O.M.B. - Macabre Noize Royale
T.O.M.B. is a mysterious, unnamed entity well known for crafting the darkest
noise recordings with the aid of nothing but field recordings. Through these
field recordings, smashing recording rods into massive steel structures and
ancient crypt doors, T.O.M.B. reawakens the decaying structures and the
agonizing history they hold sealed.
Macabre Noize Royale is T.O.M.B.’s most diverse album by far. Integrating
pure noise with ambience, Industrial and Black Metal. The clear intention is
to push the boundaries of Black Noise sound manipulation and to shock the
listener.
Torch of War - The Principle of Cosmic Instability
Furious German Black Metal sitting atop the throne of scathing, uncaring
& unabashedly cold records of this genre.
Torture Eternal - Sickness and Dismembered Gutsorgasms
Sick Death Metal.
Total Fucking Destruction - Peace, Love & Total Fucking Destruction
Centered around Brutal Truth drummer
Richard Hoak's social criticisms and breakneck, jazz-inspired drumming,
'Peace, Love, And Total Fucking Destruction' pushes grindcore into
uncharted, open-minded realms. Musical influences include the raw power of
old Napalm Death, the progressive approach of old Minutemen, and the glory
of classic rock radio.
Trancelike Void - Destroying Something Beautiful
Amazing release of depressive Black Metal that should appeal to fans of Trist and Xasthur.
Trancelike Void -
Unveiling the Silent Arms of Despair
Black Metal on the surface, but there's a lot
more going on underneath, so just calling this depressive Black Metal or
whatever, is to fold it together with the faceless crowd of mediocrity...this
material deserves much more than that. This mini-cd has been
carefully mixed by Desolate of Austere and is strictly limited to 500
copies.
Trayjen - Walking
Among The Stones of Fire
Sick misanthropic Black Metal on Flamme Noire.
Trees - Lights Bane

Trollech vs. Heiden - split
digipak
Although the bands are different regarding speed and
intensity, the sound and quality of the recordings is pretty similar, so
that it really feels like a real split and not just a combination of two
recordings. Both bands have a style that is Czech, but also clearly with
their roots in the great Nordic metal scene. If you are into the atmosphere
of Bathory, this split is highly recommendable.
the true Endless - Buried by Time and Dust
Brand-new true Endless release featuring their first demo/EP "The Trendkiller" and a live set from 2001.
Tundra - In Cold Dimness
Originally released on 10" vinyl by Eclipse Productions this cult classic is

underground.

Epic battle metal that combines Black, Death, Power and Classic Metal into a
ferocious killing machine.

Awakening

drills further down into subterranean depths. A must for devotees of
funereal, dirge-paced Doom.
Ulvdalir - Flames Once Lost
Traditional Black Metal, cold hateful and grim.
Ulvdalir - Soul Void
The new album...raw and dark, yet melodic Black Metal.
Unborn Suffer - Is This What We've Created?
Brutal Death Metal from Poland. Not a bad release at all. Certainly more fun
than most of the more popular shit out there these days.
Unchrist - ...On Leather Wings
Darkthrone-influenced USBM.
Underdark -
I am above all
From the land of Ukraina nears forth Underdark.
Satanic Black Metal under the semblance of Amorth, well known Ukrainian
drummer for many of the country’s finest projects alive these days, such
as Drudkh, Astrofaes, and others. “I am above all” displays the side of
Amorth’s musicianship that has never been crossed before with past
projects. Definitely a must for an individual who wishes to explore one
of the strongest, yet majestic soundscapes in Slavonic Black Metal
history. A vigor of expression, known as Underdark.
Unholy Archangel - The Wrath of Kosmosistis

"True Satanic desperation not bound by musical structures. Through Utarm the

and misery of oneself. Total darkness concentrated to audial spikes of
hate." - Utarm

Valhom - Desolation
Excellent release of Nordic-influenced US Black Metal.
Valhom -
Despair
The new chapter in Valhom's journey.
From the opening riff,
this album demands attention. An attack worthy of the forefathers, Despair
features great production capturing amazing and highly memorable riffs. This
is the album Valhom will be remembered for.
Valkyrja - The Invocation Of Demise
Devastating Swedish Black Metal, fast yet varied - an iron fist driven right
into the guts of all well known Swedish acts that have grown weak over the
years!
Veil -
Sombre
Grey landscapes of desperation, the shining razors of the cold pain... Metal
of Black Melancholy behind the borders of sorrow and despair. Upon the same
bloodstained blades with BURZUM. XASTHUR, WIGRID and I SHALT BECOME, yet
still with touches of woodland visions of AGALLOCH and PRIMORDIAL, not too
far from the ghostly cold illusions of ALCEST.
Velnias - Sovereign Nocturnal
Sovereign Nocturnal, the bands debut album is miles ahead of their 2007 demo
“Pacing the Cyclic Nether” in terms of maturity, song craft & production.
With the three songs combining for a total running time of 41 minutes & 15
seconds the emphasis has been laid upon a musical foundation of progressive
yet feral riffs intertwining with delicate passages that only make the
heavier parts that much more potent, not unlike early Opeth &
Agalloch! Combined with lyrical content based upon the premise that
the human race is insignificant compared to the grand power and prestige of
nature this is a debut album that should not be dismissed!
Vinterriket - Wege in die Vergangenheit
Nine tracks taken from various releases throughout the years.
Vinterriket - Berglandschaften 2001-2004
Dark, majestic, melancholic and atmospheric synth soundscapes!
Vinterriket / Orodruin - Split
An interesting blend of raw and atmospheric Black Metal with orchestral Dark
Ambient tones, mechanical changes and unnatural sound.
Vital Remains - Icons of Evil
One of the most in-demand Satanic acts. Technically crafted, demonically
chiseled Black/Death. Featuring Glen Benton of Deicide on vocals. Recorded
by Eric Rutan.
Volh - Solemn March into the Ragnarok
Brand new work from the Volkolak camp, Volh is a side project by two
members of one of the most famous folk rock acts hailing from Russia. 40
minutes of hateful and furious Pagan Metal, comparable to early Nokturnal
Mortum, with very few folk elements.
Volition - Volition
The full-length album of this British
gang delivers eight songs of punishing sick Doom that consist of ultra heavy
down-tuned guitars, slow pounding drums, guttural vocals (from deep grunts,
to fucked up screams) and an excellent dirty, yet crushing production!
Recommended for fans of Coffins, Corrupted, Winter, Noothgrush, Toadliquor,
etc.
Vordr - III
Third release of raw, primitive Finnish Black Metal.
Vukodlak - Blackest Autumn
Extremely raw and grim Satanic Black Metal. Some of the most misanthropic
and vile blasphemy to come from the US shores since Krieg. This offering was
recorded live with next to no edit introduced, keeping the rawness and
unholy primitvity alive and with pure misanthropic spirit!
$7 US/Canada $10 World
Vulpecula - In Dusk Apparition
The creation of Chuck Keller (Order From Chaos
and Ares Kingdom). In Dusk Apparition sees the final chapter in the saga
close and carries on the dark, occult, eerie feeling of the previous
releases. If mid paced, dark Death Metal which a distinct early 90's
approach is your thing, this should certainly appeal to you.
