Bit of a controversial black metal title here. Leviathan’s sole member Wrest stands accused of a bit more than the genre’s requisite misanthropic antics, facing charges that pretty much peg him as an absolute scumbag. However, nothings been settled and this really should only be about the music, and if you want to judge that [...]
Smashing death metal from Norway’s Execration, now available on compact cassette format. This album has got styles to spare, throwing tons of doom cult vibes into the typically one dimensional sound of death. Europeans pick up a copy on tape at necrolatriarecords.bigcartel.com. Americans, wait for analogworship.com to stock some copies. Odes Of The Occult by EXECRATION
Two-man eardrum destruction unit Black Cobra released a new album last year, and in typical Southern Lord style, it is now available on the LP format. Pick it up at southernlord.com.
The hooded horde returns with a split 12″ on Doomentia, sharing a side with Horse Latitudes. Unleash the doooom – doomentia.com. Hooded Menace/Horse Latitudes split 12" by HOODED MENACE
Speaking of Pyramids, Hydra Head has finally pressed up a vinyl version of their self-titled album that came out way back in 2008. Remember 2008? Well this is what it sounded like. Pick up a pre-order on clear, blue or black at bluecollardistro.com.
Hopefully you managed to pick up a copy of this on vinyl – if not, Insound.com has them in stock currently. And if you just hate the way vinyl sounds so full and rich (ugh, I know right?) then you can also get a copy on cassette. This collaborative LP is absolutely stunning, as you [...]
Well, Southern Lord is releasing tapes now. Or so it would appear as the newest (and one of my favorite) albums from the much maligned Wolves in the Throne Room is now available on compact cassette. This also features the Malevolent Grain EP (which I thought was terrible) so you are getting plenty of bang [...]
Nuclear Winter Records has got some pretty good vinyl showing up in US distros lately. Aside from the aforementioned Cruciamentum EP, they’ve also recently released the Curses of Annihilation album from Witchrist on LP. Pair that with a new 12″ EP from blackened-death merchants Temple Nightside, and your record collection just got that much more [...]
I have missed this EP in stock at two US distros so far – don’t be like me. HHR now has Cruciamentum’s latest slab of death in stock, and it simply will not last. These lads pack more into 24 minutes than many a crop of the new breed death metal revivalists are able to [...]
Two huge new releases from Parasitic Records just went up for pre-order. I hope nobody has been trying to cut back on their record budget (like me) because these are both fucking essential. The North American vinyl pressing of Diocletian’s War of All Against All brings their campaign of annihilation to our fair shores, and [...]
