Our good friends over at Deathwish Inc. have a number of awesome reissues for sale. New things include a Victims/Kylesa split, two albums from Give Up The Ghost, and Ressurection discography 2xLP. Catch up at DeathwishInc.com.

Always a pleasure to see new vinyl on the 20 Buck Spin label. These dudes are tapped deep into the Oakland metal vein, and every release is top-notch. Alaric might fall more in line with a dark/death rock vibe, but as we all know: sub-genre classification is trite at best, and Alaric leave no room [...]

The first pressing sold out and there is no plan to re-press a third time so run, don’t walk, to your distro/label of choice and pick up this prime 12″ from Deathcharge. I won’t try to hard to attach a label to this music – it’s death, glam, rock, punk… all that and then some. [...]

Here’s a new release from Trash Talk; 5 songs across two sides of seven inch vinyl. The black/white vinyl is gone (sorry collectors) but you can still pick this up on white or on black vinyl – just be ready to party. Seven dollars an inch at truepanther.com.

The label reads “Death Metal Play Loud!” and what can I say – I always follow instructions. This is the first record in a long time that my girlfriend has asked me repeatedly to “please turn off” if that gives you any indication of how good it is. Really ripping shit with amazing horror-punk artwork. [...]

Villains peddle rock ‘n’ roll, but it is so sick and ugly and twisted you might have a hard time recognizing it as such. You could definitely even call it metal, but if you are into doling out catchy sub-genre classifications you might get a little flustered – it’s all there, in one shape or [...]

You might be hearing a lot about this album this summer, reason being that it is completely amazing. Norway’s Kvelertak take elements from many heavy music genres and put it all together in one ferociously grooving rock album. Top it off with the usual amazing cover art from John Dyer Baizley and we have the [...]

If you’ve somehow missed “New Brigade” the first few times around (we did), don’t worry, you can now grab it on vinyl again. Iceage is a group of young guys (average age 17) from Denmark that have just created the first near-perfect punk rock record in years. All of the references to past legends are [...]

It seems like every great rock group must release their rock opera. A defining moment for any band worth their salt; this band’s version is sure to be, well, fucked up. Guitars, hardcore, blood, nude stagedives and more guitars… if you have not come around to loving this band yet – I’d say it’s about [...]

The most recent demo recordings from Acephalix are definitely showing the band wallowing in the grave a little (or a lot) more, and if you missed out on those last two tapes – the whole affair has now been pressed to vinyl thanks to Agipunk. The metal of death is certainly becoming a prominent flavor, [...]
