UPDATE: These have been repressed and are available once again at ominous-domain.com. If you like your black metal filthy, raw and experimental (is there any other way to take it?) then you are probably familiar with France’s Blut Aus Nord. Ominous Domain has posted pre-orders for a couple of reasonably priced vinyl imports from Debemur [...]

Doom metal as a mainstream trend has come and gone, the hipsters have moved on to blacker sub-genres, and in their wake have left nothing but the true occult practitioners. With the exception of a few well established groups, funeral doom very rarely sounds this fucking good. Contagion has been slowly rolling out an impressive [...]

This EP has got a lot going for it. First and foremost, it’s the premier vinyl output from Mutilation Rites, a Brooklyn black thrash unit that definitely deserves more attention. Second of all, it’s got great artwork from Rainbath Visual, who is quickly becoming the go-to artist for esoteric black medalists (see Ash Borer, etc). [...]

Bone Awl is celebrating a ten year anniversary, and Ashdautas is celebrating dissolution. This split effort stands as a testament to both milestones. If you missed out on the tape, or you just don’t give a fuck about tapes, there is now a vinyl edition of this raw documentation of unhinged black metal. The excitement [...]

It’s a new album from High On Fire. You can buy red or clear vinyl at relapse.com. Stream a new track at pitchfork.com. It’s a new album from fucking High On Fire.

Relapse Records is reissuing Disembowelment’s Transcendence Into The Peripheral on 2xLP. Purchase is practically required, there is none doomier nor deathlier within the doom-death realms. There are a few ordering options available, including maroon vinyl limited to 500 or grey vinyl limited to 250. You can also bundle this with the Inverloch LP (Disembowelment related) [...]

Here’s a reissue of the first album from black metal rockers Negative Plane. This has been out-of-print and in demand for more than a little bit, especially after their blackened surf punk nearly went mainstream last year. Pick up the reissue at nwnprod.com, theajnaoffensive.com or 20buckspin.com.

UPDATE: Pick it up at shop-hellsheadbangers.com. If you’ve seen Wolves in the Throne Room out on tour, maybe you’ve noticed they have a new LP with them. This is a vinyl pressing of the group’s 2005 demo, a crucial piece from the timeline of one of black metal’s most divisive modern practitioners. If you won’t [...]

This album is simply amazing, if you do not own the killer double LP pressing from Profound Lore for some reason, then I suppose we are requiring you to, at the very least, pick up this cassette edition that you can currently find at ominous-domain.com. Unsure of limitation or anything like that, but this distro only [...]

Let’s jump right into Tape Tuesday with this cassette edition of the recent full length effort from the noisy French hardcore unit Sofy Major. We were sent this double LP last year by the label that released it, and the raging metallic din completely blew us away. If you’d prefer a more micro-sized version, then [...]
