NECRONOMICON (Ger) – S/t CD BATTLE CRY
The most underrated German Thrash horde/album of all time in my book! Now finally the debut album has been re-issued oficially. Originally released back in 1986. The era when German Thrash peaked! Necronomnicon should be mentioned together with bands like Violent Force, Darkness, very old Destruction and Posion. Raw, primitive and catchy song writing. It really doesn´t get better than this!

NECRONOMICON BEAST – Hell Thrash War CD HELL PRODUCTIONS
Great raw Brazilian old school Thrash! Pretty original stuff loosely influenced by really old Exodus, At War and Kreator. This album should have been released back in -86. Also nicely done to include a "hidden track", a cover version of "Death By Bewitchment" by the extremely underrated and sadly forgotten 80s cult Thrash act EXORCIST. Extra cool !
120SKR/12,5 EURO/$13,5
NECROS CHRISTOS – Doom of the Occult CD SEPULCHRAL VOICE/VÁN
After 4 years of silence the band finally returns with another piece of dark, haunting Death Metal done in their own unique way! Occult metal played long before the current occult trend swept the underground! Strongly recommended!

NECROPHILE (JAP) – Mementos in the Misting Woods CD DARK DESCENT
Long lost Japanese Death/Thrash/Black relic from 1988-1991! Collecting all the groups material on one disc. Raw,brutal and rather original stuff, perfect for the old school connoisseur!

120SKR/13 EURO/$14
NECRO SCHIZMA – Discography CD BLACK VOMIT
One of the earliest extreme doom bands that eclipsed the world back in the late 80s. Here you get the legendary "Erupted Evil" demo + the previously unreleased "Necrocarnation" rehearsal from 1990. Think HELLHAMMER, WINTER, DELERIUM and SEMPITERNAL DEATHREIGN. It doesn't get better than this!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
NEGATIVE REACTION - Tales from the Insomniac CD PSYCHEDOOMELIC
Latest album of scabbing sludge from the NY veterans. After being around for more than 20 years they are still a source of genuine misery.
120SKR/12,5 EURO/$14
NEGUR? BUNGET – 'n Crugu Bradului CD CODE666
Romania's answer to Enslaved right here. Atmospheric and progressive black metal with elements of folk. This is one of their best albums, highly acclaimed by both fans and critics. Highly recommended to fans of the aforementioned Enslaved, Primordial and atmospheric East European black metal, Kroda being the best comparison I can make without going overboard with obscurity.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
NITEFALL - Red Moon Rising CD STORMSPELL
An obscure but great American power/doom metal band that was active in the early 90's. This CD contains the band's three demos.

NOCTERNITY – A fallen unicorn CD KYRCK
Contains unreleased material from the Onyx sessions + old EP material. Intro track is written and recorded by VINTERRIKET and suits the overall mood of this release perfectly. 8 tracks in all. Featuring members of VORPHALACK, LUNAR AURORA, AGATUS and ZEMIAL… Majestic, hyper fast, cold and really distorted BM with the vocal's low in the mix, creating a similar feel as EMPEROR's "In the Nightside eclipse". Still NOCTERNITY is not relying on keyboards to such a great extent as their Norwegian college's and this is a good thing we think. Comes highly recommended from us!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
NOCTURNAL(GER) – Violent Revenge CD DISPLEASED
For a moment I suspected I had put a Toxic Holocaust CD in the deck…
Well, that was maybe a bit over the top, but fact is that Nocturnal ha started sounding more American Thrash – instead of their previously total German style. What counts though is that they do it with style! Their best and most catchy work so far!

120SKR/13 EURO/$14

REALMBUILDER - Summon the Stone Throwers CD I HATE
True epic metal that doesn't rely on gimmicks or technical bravura, but well-arranged songs featuring creative riffs, tasty solos and dramatic yet earnest vocals. The band has carved out a unique heavy metal persona and although they are not a doom metal band, the spaciousness and cumulative progressions often found in that genre are things they appreciate and try to achieve with their mostly mid-paced and occasionally slow epic metal music. They want their songs to conjure an old lost world wherein men's battles are set against fantastical and regal and ruined landscapes. 2nd pressing.
110SKR/11,5 EURO/$12,5
REALMBUILDER – Fortifications of the Pale Architect CD I HATE
The second full-length from the Americans. Grandiose yet unpretentious epic metal bringing to mind times gone by and bands from that age (Cirith Ungol, Manilla Road, Legend (US), Thin Lizzy). They've refined the sound that made their debut LP such an endearing endeavor and also take a doomier route on occasion this time.
110SKR/12 EURO/$13
REUSMARKT – Echo CD ORIANA
Highly atmospheric Ukrainian black metal. Like if Drudkh, Munruthel and Khors clashed. But this definitely has its own unique identity. An obscure but recommended gem!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
REVELATION - S/t CD THE CHURCH WITHIN
At last! These are the words that most aptly describe my feelings for this album. Originally intended for release in -88 by Doom Records as the band's debut album and later planned for an official release in -07 by Leaf Hound. But it took until 2009 and The Church Within for this cult item to finally see the light of day. Of course it's not as refined as last year's "Release" but it has a strong Trouble vibe to it but this band's talent could never be denied. Doom zealots rejoice!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
REVELATION - Never Comes Silence CD SHADOW KINGDOM
The band's monumental second doom masterpiece from 1992 re-released for the second time. Words cannot describe how great this album is. You want to know where Warning got their sound from? The answer lies within. The enhanced CD contains a live gig from 1993 which is a nice bonus. Get it now!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
REVELATION - …Yet So Far CD SHADOW KINGDOM
Re-mastered re-release of the band's third album, originally released in 1995 on Hellhound Records. Features the melodic and unique guitar playing of Dennis Cornelius (Dwell Within, Memory Driven, Oversoul, etc.)
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
RIDE FOR REVENGE – Under the Eye CD KVLT
Heavy, bestial and occult are words that describe Under the Eye. Low-end heaviness that competes with Electric Wizard meets the bestiality of early Beherit. Not something you get to hear every day but it is fucking awesome! Recommended.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
RIGOR SARDONICOUS – Ego Diligio Vos CD MEMENTO MORI
Utterly vicious death/doom that occasionally passes the border to funeral doom. Therefore the immediate thought is Disembowelment. The droning and crushing guitars will also appeal to disciples of Thergothon and Winter! "Pretty" this ain't but it is bloody brilliant!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
RIGOR SARDONICUS – Risus ex mortuus CD ENDLESS DESPERATION
American Death Doom on a Russian label, talk about globalization! Those who remember MORDOR that were on WILD RAG'S at the beginning of the 90's will know what to expect a bit. Slow, pitch black and down tuned dirges accompanied by extremely guttural, gore/death-like vocals. For fans of WINTER and DISEMBOWELMENT. Think this is their 94 demo and some more…Has that early 90's feel to it…and we can assure you this is a love or hate kind of band, but we love it!
120SKR/12,5 EURO/$13,5
RIGOR SARDONICUS - Vallis Ex Umbra De Mortuus CD PARAGON RECS.
Raw as fuck funeral doom/death with deeeeeep (pitch-shifted) growls. Gives as much pleasure as polishing the skin on your entire body with sandpaper. Surprisingly short tracks for the genre so if your attention span is that of a common housefly you won't get bored. Then again, if funeral doom isn't your forte, Vallis Ex Umbra De Mortuus isn't for you anyway.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
RIPPING FLESH – Mercy/Parallel Windows CD DIABOLUS PROD.
Early 90s Mexican Death Metal finally re-issued. Compilation of all the squadrons material, limited 500 copies. Perfect for people in to the classic Death Metal sound of the region/era; dark & heavy stuff, with some strange morbid half-melodic passages. Closest comparisons would be countrymen SHUB NIGGURATH and TOXODEATH. RIPPING FLESH being the most technical of the three and also carrying some NOCTURNUS-influences! Excellent stuff from an era long time gone!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
RISE AND SHINE – Empty Hand CD I HATE
Since the inception in 1993 Swedish Rise and Shine has paved a way of their own for their version of 70's Heavy/Psych/Doom Rock. Despite their roots being ever audible (think SABBATH, THE OBSESSED/SPIRIT CARAVAN, PENTAGRAM, TROUBLE) RISE AND SHINE has always sounded like RISE AND SHINE and no one else. The reason for their uniqueness is spelled Josabeth Leidi. Josabeth has a sky clad, emotionally charged voice echoing Joplin and a pathos that nears that of Faithfull, with which she delivers the bands spot on lyrics darkly, but always with a glimmer of light, for the sake of contrast. Empty Hand is released in April, is Rise and Shine's fourth album proper and will not disappoint any fan of honest, heavy and groovy Rock!
110SKR/11,5 EURO/$12,5
RISE AND SHINE - Roadflower BLACK WIDOW CD
The great second album (1999) from Rise and Shine. The band was doing the retro rock thing long before it was considered "cool" in Sweden. Highly recommended to fans of Spirit Caravan, Trouble and Pentagram.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
RISING DUST - Taste of Fire MCD EMANES METAL
Picture if you will Iron Man, Orchid, Witchcraft and Pentagram. That's what you'll get when buying this sweet EP. Recommended to every doom rock fanatic!

RITUALS OF THE OAK - Hour of Judgement CD EYES LIKE SNOW
Debut album by this Australian doom metal band, musically similar to Warning, but also fusing some epic doom moments and the somberness of Reverend Bizarre, just to name a few things. The singer Sabine has a voice somewhere between Caroline Wilson of Mourn and Jex Thoth.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
R'LYEH – Back to the cult CD DARK RECOLLECTION PROD.
The early 90s Mexican Death Metal scene really captured some really dark sounds! CENOTAPH, TOXODETH, SHUB NIGGURATH, DARK HALF and in this case R'LYEH deserves the highest credits! Really heavy, early 90s Death/Doom of the highest quality (but not the INCANTATION-style made popular in recent years) is on offer here! Compilation CD hand-numbered to 1000 copies, capturing all the groups material recorded so far!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14

Being persecuted and oppressed by the communist Czechoslovakian government and real difficulties obtaining a proper studio and reasonable recording equipment - the most miserable conditions imaginable really - didn't stop Root from making one of the most evil and individualistic black metal creations ever, with rotten riffs stinking of the old and grey Eastern Bloc in the most positive sense. It wouldn't be misguided to name them Bathory from behind the Iron Curtain. "Zjevení" is a definite must for fans of early primitive black metal and our re-release comes enhanced with a new and improved layout and several bonus tracks from the Root-archives.

ROOT – Hell Symphony CD I HATE
"Hell Symphony" is ROOT's seminal second album from 1992, one of the most evil and original sounding black metal recordings of all time, each song a hymn to one of the many guises of the Prince of Darkness. The band's activities coincided with the then recent spurt of second wave black metal but ROOT's sound didn't have much in common with these other bands. Theirs was a road of individuality, an approach unlike any other, before or after them. Much of this had to do with great and versatile vocals of Big Boss. The band tried English lyrics for the first time and although their grasp of the language was tenuous at best they get the point across being very liturgical and plain evil. "Hell Symphony" is the soundtrack for your journey to the very bowels of hell. Easily amongst the best and most influential abominations to come out of Eastern Europe ever!
3 + 2 bonus tracks added to the re-release.

ROOT – The Book CD I HATE
On this (their fifth) album ROOT began taking their style into a more sophisticated territory of tenebrous, epic and original-sounding metal - "The Book" - the dark, occult and totally hypnotic album, a passage into a world where mortals fear to tread, a pit of uncanny esotericism that entices the listener and immerses you completely with its sheer creativity, just like any good tale would. Big Boss' delivered his most spectacular performance to date, using his diverse vocal skills to the fullest, and the band was in its most inspired mode writing varied songs all keeping the eerie sense of journeying through torch-lit caverns reeking of sulfur to the very bowels of hell. Or if "The Satanic Bible" had been composed into music the hymnal "The Book" would have been the result. Either way, this is a work of mystifying art. As with many bands from the Eastern Bloc ROOT were not actively promoted outside their home country and for that reason they are not as renowned as they should be, remaining a cult favourite all too few have heard, but all that is about to change. "The Book" is a matter of course for individuals abiding in the nether regions of atmospheric black metal, doom metal and the darkest of progressive and heavy metal. The strength of this album lies in its ability to appeal to any number of people. I HATE's re-release comes with a new improved layout and features exclusive bonus songs from the Root-archives.

SHACKLES – Traitors ´Gate CD HELLS HEADBANGERS
The debut full-length from the Australians. The sound is also very Australian, semi-melodic 80s Thrash metal in the "Hobbs´…"-tradition meeting Gospel of the Horns to get a description.

SIEBENSÜNDEN/TERATOLOGEN - Gläd dig du Kristi Luder/Herrens Djuriska njutning CD I HATE
GLÄD DIG DU KRISTI LUDER/HERRENS DJURISKA NJUTNING with TERATOLOGEN's acid-dripping and poignant lyrics accompanying the miserable audible sloth of SIEBENSÜNDEN's can be seen as an answer to the "righteous" fanatic Christians new morality movement. Put simple it is guaranteed to give you a new angle on the subject of Christian sects and religious indoctrination. That is, if you know Swedish…if not you will still be able to lap up the slowly flowing audible bile which should be a feast for Sludge maniacs, Doomsters, miserable punks, Black Metal misfits and industrial psycho's alike. The later listener category is also likely to be the ones most fascinated by the sound of SIEBENSUNDEN's own home made instruments, while the BM aficionados will appreciate the extremely blasphemous message.
Siebensünden equals very obscure Swedish Sludge Core with members of WARCOLLAPSE, FARCIAL, DOM DÄR, COUNTERBLAST and TOLSHOCK. The band has been more or less (more less than more though, ehr…) active for over ten years and have released two full length albums up till the present day.
Nikanor Teratologen is famous in Sweden for the much hated and much loved Äldreomsorgen i Övre Kågedalen book and other classics.

SKEPTICISM – Alloy CD RED STREAM
Fourth full-length album by the best funeral doom band that has ever existed. "Alloy" has the best production any Skepticism recording has had and I dare say it's the most accessible too. All the band's trademarks remain though, like the powerful organ and the sluggish riffs.

S:T ERIK - From Under the Tarn CD SOLITUDE PROD.
I wonder how these Swedes manage to get out of bed every morning. Judging from this debut album they must be depressed beyond belief. This is the perfect soundtrack to those cold and rainy autumn nights. WARNING must be an influence but there are also obvious hints of ELECTRIC WIZARD and HIGH ON FIRE to be found. Absolutely mezmerising at times!
120SKR/12,5 EURO/$13,5
STEVE SYLVESTER – Free Man CD+DVD UNDER FIRE
A side-project Steve Sylvester of Death SS had in the 90s.

SUMMONING – Lugburz CD NAPALM
Classic debut album by a classic black metal band. The most traditional full-length the band ever produced. Raw yet melodic. Decent comparisons would be to the early recordings of Emperor and Burzum. An even better comparison would be to Black Funeral's "Empire of Blood", if it matters. Recommended!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
SUMMONING –Minas Morgul CD NAPALM
Their second album, originally released 1995, SUMMONING defined their sound, here's where the saga as we have learned to love it begins. Mighty, synthesized, epic and grand with programmed drums (much better than a real drummer could ever do!) the Austrians started to make music that was in a league of it's own in terms of grandeur! Forget New Zealand, Austria is Middle earth!!!

SUPURATION – Back from the Crematory CD XTREEM
Early French death metal gem from 1990 re-issued with tone of bonus material (among other demo stuff from 1989 when the band was called ETSICROXE).

Classic beer thrash! Their 2008-album. Brazilian pressing.

TAURUS – Signo De Taurus CD MARQUEE
In my opinion the most underrated of all the Brazilian Thrash bands. Here the totally amazing 1986 debut album re-issued with a lot of demos tracks as bonus material. Strongly influenced by "Show No Mercy" + "Hell Awaits"-era Slayer, comparable to MX and also some Mutilator. A must if there ever was one!

UK doom band. Safe to say, if you love doom metal with a traditional NWOBHM streak this is for you. Hell, I could strongly recommend this to every fanatic of true doom, especially fans of WITCHFINDER GENERAL, SOLOMON KANE, THE WANDERING MIDGET and HOUR OF 13. They doom the fuck out of the Cirith Ungol song "Frost & Fire" too! The MCD has two bonus live tracks the 10"EP didn't have.

THE MOON MISTRESS – Silent Voice Inside CD PESTIS INSANIAE
Here's a gem for fans of Sleep and all eras of Electric Wizard. Most doom bands of the stoner persuasion seem unable to write truly memorable songs but that is NOT the case here. The Moon Mistress is both massive and memorable!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
THE MOON MISTRESS/SNAKERIDER – Obsessed by Cursed Wastelands CD PESTIS INSANIAE
Split CD showcasing two East European stoner/doom bands following the smoke toward the riff filled land (Sleep reference - points if you get it). Highly recommended to fans of Sleep, Church of Misery, bands like that.

THE RUINS OF BEVERAST – Unlock the Shrine CD VÁN
The excellent debut album from this German maniac. Black metal for fans of Blus aus Nord, Darkspace, Forgotten Tomb, Lunar Aurora. Highest recommendations!

THE WANDERING MIDGET – From the Meadows of Opium Dreams CD EYES LIKE SNOW
The reception for this album has been overwhelmingly positive, and why the hell not, it's some of the best traditional doom metal you are likely to hear in 2012. Best Reverend Bizarre sounding doom from Finland since Reverend Bizarre. That's the highest form of praise right there.

THE WOUNDED KINGS - In the Chapel of the Black Hand CD I HATE
An ending is just a beginning. Returning from the brink, with band members leaving to pursue other careers or family lives, founding member Steve Mills puts together an all new lineup to deliver four tracks of epic and apocalyptic doom under the title of 'In the Chapel of the Black Hand'. This new phase in the development of The Wounded Kings features the dark and chilling vocals of Sharie Neyland along with one of the heaviest rhythm sections in South West England. Despite, or because of, the hardships the Kings determination and
unique vision for heavy music remains as strong as ever. 'In the Chapel of the Black Hand' was recorded in the beautiful Welsh Valleys at the legendary Foel Studios with Chris Fielding (Primordial, Napalm Death, Serpent Venom and Conan) at the helm and the music undulates with vintage amplification and is swathed in Hammond organ, Mellotron and choirs – things fans have come to love and expect. Preserved is also one of the band's strongest points which is their ability to transport the listener to all the horrific places a mind is able to imagine. Whilst the previous two albums ('Embrace of the Narrow House' (2008) and 'The Shadow Over Atlantis' (2010)) were bleak and full of despair, 'In the Chapel of the Black Hand' is seething with menace and danger. It is a journey to ghostly worlds – suffocating and claustrophobic – where ancient terrors slowly seep into the bloodstream. The listener will be grateful to get out alive with their soul and sanity intact – just as it should be.

THE WOUNDED KINGS – The Shadow over Atlantis CD I HATE
The Wounded Kings merge Britain's occult heritage with the fragile spirit of the human condition and produce a unique blend of spectral doom and psychedelic horror. Musically all the hallmarks from the debut are still evident, the eerie choirs, pianos and the use of space within the riffs, but with The Shadow Over Atlantis they have chosen to create an even darker edge, a desolate end of the world vibe filled with suffocating heaviness, certainly accentuating the doom part in doom metal.
110SKR/12 EURO/$13
TRIAL – The Primordial Temple CD THE COFFINS SLAVE
A new Swedish heavy metal band. I'm surprised this wasn't released by Cruz Del Sur Music as it is very reminiscent of the bands on that label. Bands such as Dark Forest, Pharaoh, Twisted Tower Dire. Or let's say this: You will enjoy this if you're a fan of Wolf (Swe). Nuff said.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
TROUBLE – Simple Mind Condition CD ESCAPI
Legendary doom band Trouble's 7th album, released in 2007.

TYRANT (UK) - The Complete Anthology 2CD STEEL LEGACY
Steel Legacy's second Tyrant compilation (first one was vinyl only) but this time they managed to collect everything(?) into a 2CD set. All the songs from the vinyl are on here, which include the first demo and the "Hold Back the Lightning" single. What's more is the second demo and a plethora of live recordings. The complete anthology, indeed. Epic and sometimes doomy NWOBHM! Polish your armour and mount your horse.

UNBOUNDED TERROR – Nest of Affliction CD XTREEM
Re-issue of the pioneer Spanish Death Metal-squadrons 1992-album, with all three demos (91-93) included as bonus! Classic early 90s sound, perfect for old school maniacs into MORGOTH, CANCER, GRAVE etc.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
UNCANNY - MCMXCI-MCMXCIV 2CD DARK DESCENT
Swedish death metal back in the day was more than just Entombed, Dismember and Grave. Avesta's Uncanny are solid proof of this. This 2CD-set gathers their sole album "Splenium for Nyktophobia" (1994) plus various demo recordings. A must-have for all fans of Swedish old-school death metal!
140SKR/15 EURO/$16,5
UNDERGANG (DEN) – Indhentet Af Döden CD XTREEM
Heavy as fuck Danish Death metal debut album! Influenced by the likes of BOLT THROWER, ROTTREVORE. Sound is also similar to the one practised in Finland in the early 90s (FUNEBRE, RIPPIKOULU and so on). Very dark sounding indeed!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
UNLEASHED – Where No Life Dwells + And the Laughter has Died CD CENTURY MEDIA
All time classic Swedish Death Metal debut album with the 1991 EP + tons of bonus tracks, clips and other useful things. Recommended!
125SKR/13,5 EURO/$14,5
UNSILENCE – Under a Torn Sky CD PSYCHEDOOMELIC
Melodic and emotional doom metal with an epic touch from an English band that has been around since the early 90's but due to bad luck haven't managed to release a proper debut full-length album until now. Not easily compared to other bands but if you enjoy emotional yet progressively complex doom like Revelation, both the early John Brenner years and the Dennis Cornelius years + Cold Embrace, Mirror of Deception and/or Solstice, then this is for you.
120SKR/12,5 EURO/$13,5
URGEHAL – Massive Terrestrial Strike CD NO COLOURS

120SKR/13 EURO/$14
URSUS – Fuerza Metal CD PURE STEEL
Great Colombian Thrash/Speed metal in true 80s tradition! Think TAURUS or old DORSAL ATLANTICA, or for a more "modern" comparison SELVAGERIA or the "No Anesthesia"-album by WITCHTRAP.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
VALKYRJA - The Invocation of Demise CD NORTHERN SILENCE

VOMIT (NORWAY) – Still Rotting CD LYDERHORN RECS.
An official and essential demo and rehearsal collection (1986-87) by Norwegian super cult Thrash/Death/Black horde VOMIT. This is ultra-raw stuff, somewhere between Pentagram(Chile) and Slaughter Lord.
Probably among the most evil recording ever made in Norway! The band is also known for the connection to Mayhem, which two of the Vomit-members were part of in 1987. There is also a bootleg rehearsal split-tape with Mayhem (Nor) released (according to the band) by Euronymous and sold via Helvete.
120SKR/12,5 EURO/$13,5
VOMITOR – Devils Poison CD HELLS HEADBANGERS
8 years did pass since the first full-length…before VOMITOR struck back… and one thing is certain; this sounds more or less exactly like on their great year 2002, "Bleading the Priest" debut album! Surely among the best active Aussie squadron these days. Raw Thrash/Death in the vein SLAUGHTER LORD, ARMOURED ANGEL, SODOM etc. Strongly recommended!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
VOOR – Evil Metal CD NUCLEAR WAR NOW!
Ancient Canadian Thrash(bordering on Deathrash) dug up from an old tomb!(1985) Features all the material recorded by the group (2 demos) + some bonuses.

VULCANO - Tales from the Black Book CD I HATE
After the successful CD release of "Anthropophagy" and the Vulcano / Nifelheim split I HATE has the honour of re-releasing Brazilian legend Vulcano's comeback album "Tales from the Black Book". Originally from 2004 this is the first time the album is released outside of South America. Unlike many other comebacks, this one has really brought about something interesting. Luckily the band has kept the old raw sound, the feeling is surely there! Anyone seriously into raw Thrash & South American metal should kill to get hold of this disc!
110SKR/12 EURO/$13
WALKNUT – Graveforests and Their Shadows CD STELLAR WINTER

WALL OF SLEEP – Sun Faced Apostles CD PSYCHEDOOMELIC

120SKR/12,5 EURO/$13,5
WALL OF SLEEP - ...And Hell Followed With Him CD I HATE
Finally the new WoS is released, surely a serious contender for the best doom album of the year!
All fans of Pale Divine, Place of Skulls and for that matter WoS Rejoice!

WARDENCLYFFE – Ordo Ab Chao CD-R S-Prod
The debut-demo from the Swedish doom trio! (with members of Griftegård, The Doomsday Cult etc.). Limited to 160 copies, probably the last chance to pick up this item! Strange and original dark doom, best description would be (the already mentioned) The Doomsday Cult clashing into a slow version of old Samael with some occult Italian touches!
50SKR/6 EURO/$6,5
WARNING – Watching from a distance CD CYCLONE EMPIRE
I could write meter upon meter of superlative crammed text on this one. Instead I settle for saying that if you are looking for the most heartfelt, honest, non contrived and mournful Doom Metal possible Watching from a distance is what you want, and more.
120SKR/12,5 EURO/$13,5
WATCHTOWER – Control and Resistance CD DIVEBOMB
2nd Watchtower album (1989) and an undisputed classic in the genre of technical/progressive thrash metal. Right up there alongside Coroner, Voivod and Toxik.
125SKR/13,5 EURO/$14,5
WITCH CROSS – Fit for Fight CD HELLS HEADBANGERS
Reissue of the one and only Witch Cross full-length. It originally came out in 1984 and delivered some exceptional heavy metal. Since the band's Danish comparisons to Mercyful Fate, Randy and Maltese Falcon are hard to avoid.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
WITCHGRAVE – The Devil's Night MCD METAL INQUISITION
Another Swedish band playing traditional metal. In this case traditional means proto-black metal like Venom mixed with caveman-old Running Wild. They got that early 80s sound down to a tee! Great satanic rock'n'roll! Midnight fans might want to look into this release. A couple of the Witchgrave members are also active in thrash band Antichrist.
90SKR/10 EURO/$11
WITCHTRAP – Vengeance is my Name CD HELLS HEADBANGERS
After six years' time, the Colombian veterans strike back with their new (3rd) full-length! Classy Thrash/Speed inspired by WHIPLASH, OVERKILL, old DESTRUCTION, DESTRUCTOR etc. Probably the best old school Thrash release of 2012 so far!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
WOODS OF INFINITY - Hopplös Väntan MCD SUPERNAL
Demented entertainment from Sweden's now sadly defunct Woods of Infinity. On the same level as Shining or Lifelover this mini is bound to get more than a few pre-teen knickers in a twist. Genius or what?
85SKR/9 EURO/$9,5
WORSHIP – Terranean Wake CD WEIRD TRUTH
New album from these legends! If you know Worship then you know what to expect! Slooow and sorrowful fucking funeral doom metal of the highest quality.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
WRATHBLADE – Into the Netherworld's Realm CD EAT METAL
Epic heavy metal from Greece. That short description alone should be enough for anyone remotely interested in the genre. But take our word for it, Wrathblade stands out in a crowded scene. More than one band member has been involved in the epic doom band Litany and fans of that band as well as Assedium, Battle Ram and Holy Martyr will enjoy this.
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
XANTOTOL – Thus Spake Zaratustra digi-CD WITCHING HOUR
Now we are talking obscurity! This primitive piece of satanic metal (originally released in 1995), must have been spawned by some really sick blackened Polish minds. A band that is extremely hard to categorise, but how about a mixture of Imperator, very old Samael, Necro Schizma and Goatlord. Does this make you confused? Us as well… sometimes this reminds of some kind of invocation, morbid feelings…or for that matter very doomy death/black metal. Anyway, this is without doubt a must have. Sound is perfect for this type of rotten evil metal.
130SKR/13,5 EURO/$15
XENOMORPH (US) - Empyreal Regimes CD DARK DESCENT RECS.
This is technical death metal the way it is supposed to sound. No jazzy crap, just pure brutality delivered with finesse! Think early ATHEIST but raise the level of extremity by a hundred. This reissue also includes
their "Subspecies" demo from 93!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
ZESS - Et In Arcadia Ego CD BLACK WIDOW
Italian horror DOOM in the special Italian way! The songs date back to 1987/88 and have been carefully re-mastred to keep the old & obscure atmosphere of the recording. Perfect for fans of RIPPER, BLACK HOLE, early DEATH SS, IL SEGNO DEL COMANDO…
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
ZOMBIFIED - Carnage Slaughter and Death CD CYCLONE EMPIRE
Grinding death destruction. Now there's a catchphrase for all you death metal afficionados out there! Also it's a fitting description of what's offered on "Carnage Slaughter and Death", the latest slab of griding death metal from Swedens ZOMBIFIED. For fans of VOMITORY, KRISIUN and RIBSPREADER!
120SKR/13 EURO/$14
