THIS IS A PRE-ORDER - VINYL EXPECTED FOR SEPT / OCT!!!

SUFFERING QUOTA, the notorious Dutch grindcore band, are set to unleash their third album, COLLIDE, cementing their place in the grindcore scene. With their signature blend of grindcore, death metal, crust, and hardcore, dosed in various quantities, the band is poised to deliver yet another explosive offering, adding to their nearly 15 years of existence.

After gaining recognition for their previous albums and EPs, SUFFERING QUOTA further solidified their place in the scene with their split release alongside PSYCHONEUROSIS and HERIDA PROFUNDA in 2019, showcasing their fiercely unique sound and intense energy. Now, in 2023, the Groningen grindcore unit returns with their highly-anticipated third full-length album, set to elevate their campaign of terror to new heights.

COLLIDE builds further on the foundations laid down on their previous album, LIFE IN DISGUST and is a multifaceted sequel that ties the thread together whilst continuously looking forward. Both are recorded live at the Soundlodge Studio and have artwork created by painter and friend Wokkel. Musically it continues the subversion of genres through gleeful experimentation switching up rhythms, toying with dynamics, texture and track length.

On COLLIDE, SUFFERING QUOTA have created a 12-ton bomb that transfixes the listener, hitting with the crushing force of an event horizon. Containing their signature mix of extreme genres infused with a unique touch of experimentation, they maintain an onslaught of colossal dimensions. With COLLIDE, SUFFERING QUOTA start a new chapter in their campaign of terror whilst maintaining the focus on their distinctive sound.

On May 26th, Lower Class Kids Records, 7Degrees Records, and Tartarus Records will release the bands 12-song, 19-minute blood-soaked collaborative descent into the depths of the abyss, grinding your mind to pieces.

Greek grind/black metal act STHENO is pleased to announce their upcoming second album "Wardance", due out October 8th 2021 via 7 Degrees Records (LP) and Chaos & Hell Productions (CD & Tape).

The album's 11 tracks blaze a trail of fury by way of blistering tremolo and battle-ready percussion. STHENO has blurred the boundaries between grindcore, black, death and other extreme strains of heavy metal since 2013. The band was founded by like-minded individuals among the Greek grind and crust scene with the intentions of creating harsh music while drawing inspiration from black and death metal without any regards, or limitations, to the structures surrounding each respective sub-genre.

After some line-up changes and several concerts in Greece, Germany, Switzerland and France, STHENO are ready to unleash their new album "Wardance", which features Christian Chaco, frontman of German death-grinders KEITZER, on vocals. Produced by Stelios "Stelth" Koslidis, the record is a war-themed concept album which is bound to catapult the band into the higher echelon of extreme underground metal.

To keep it extremely unrelenting without being stagnant and too monotonous is a difficult art form, but STHENO manages to stay away from all this and delivers an album full of metallic mayhem while keeping it fresh and dynamic at the same time.

ONE SIDED 12" w/ ETCHED B-SIDE!

Grind your mind to pieces with 8 crustpunk-ridden eruptions of power by three of Europe’s most ravenous and ferocious grindcore bands: PSYCHONEUROSIS, HERIDA PROFUNDA and SUFFERING QUOTA. Combining their strengths and showing grindcore’s versatility in a total of 8 songs. The 3 way split, subtitled “In Fear We Trust”, is released by a coalition of grindcore labels worldwide on cassette, CD and one-sided Vinyl with etched B-side.

For “In Fear We Trust”, PSYCHONEUROSIS recorded a cover of Extreme Noise Terror’s song “Believe What I Say”. In addition to that they added the previously unreleased, full on grindstomper “Where Are We Heading”.

HERIDA PROFUNDA’s tracks were recorded live at 161 Festival in Poland. Three of the four blistering, unadulterated grindcore tracks will eventually be recorded for a 2nd full-length but are released in their purest form to give a taste of what to expect in the future. The studio version of “Alerta 161”, previously released on their split with Hellbastard, was added as a political statement.

The tracks on this split from SUFFERING QUOTA were recorded during the same session as the songs on the split with My Minds Mine. “Rage” is an alternative version of the song “Anger” that appeared first on their critically acclaimed, sophomore album “Life in Disgust”. “Bastardized Yesterday” shows a development to longer songs with more elements of death metal and hardcore that was further explored on “Life in Disgust”.

SERPENT EATER know exactly who they are and what they are doing on 'Vanitas'. Opening with a stomping black metal crusher of a riff overlaid with cackling screams and ripping double kicks, this is blackened crust at it's most operatic and metallic.

The production and performances here are supremely polished and well rehearsed, there isn't so much as a squeak of feedback that feels out of place.

Soundwise SERPENT EATER lean heavily on the black metal side, with rocking black'n'roll sections interspersed with huge sounding blasts and absolutely punishing double kick drums.

Their riffs are certainly serpentine as well, meandering around and over the drums like the coils of a resting python, springing to life for moments of attack before coiling back in on themselves.

Vocally they range from the head tilted back howling screams of black metal to almost guttural death growls, this is used almost instrumentally to add dynamics to their compositions.

This is a professional and expertly performed and produced release that sees SERPENT EATER sounding like a true venue destroyer, certainly a band at the very top of their game and worth catching!

With this new lineup they released a split with My Minds Mine in 2017 and are ready to drop their next effort, the sophomore album "Life in Disgust" and crush stages everywhere. 

There will be no warning, there will only be damage.

SANDOKHAN is two guys playing insanely fast Grindcore the old school way. This is the first recording of this band, whose members play in some other grind-bands that are quite known in the genre. Sometimes they slow down, playing some neat blastbeat, just to regain the high-speed again. And yet you get the impression of some melody (!) and recognition value within the 13 songs that they finish in 7 minutes! ROOOARR!!!

KRUPSKAYA from the UK are already well-known in the Grindcore-scene. After one full length CD, several 7”es and split releases with bands such as Kill a Celebrity, Trendy Bastard , Black Sister and others they again impress with a very unique style of extreme music. The riffing reaches from ultra fast shredding to noisy interludes with dissonant melodies that never lack of the right portion groove. Supported by a drummer who truly flips over himself and a voice screaming so intensely and fierce, KRUPSKAYA’s music stands out. One of the best and most innovative Grindcore-bands of our time. AMEN!

Fresh Grinders SACTHU team up with their country mates , grindcore veterans MIXOMATOSIS from Spain and belgian Mince Legends AGATHOCELES to fill these grooves in black plastic with solid full throttle balstings.

satón is proud to present it’s second studio material “ni’in”. produced in its entirety by the band, mixed and mastered by Miguel Méndez at Carne Débil (Cali, Colombia). Artwork by: MUDØ 

satón works with a diy philosophy throughout the production of this new album. 

ni’in: a word that originates from a mexican indigenous language meaning “to find oneself”; a word with a strong meaning that unifies the various feelings and sensations throught the album, from “Ver Desvanecer” that sings about the feeling of lacking personal success, to “Qomata” that speaks about the acceptance of oneself in a chaotic yet beautiful manner; a constant and long path to define yourself and ourselves as a musical contingent. 

the production like the songs, the songs like the times we’re living, the times we’re living like “ni’in”, they confront us, they redefine ourselves and put us on the way towards a clearer phase for Satón.

The main influence on this album was to go back to where Saviours started – Sabbath, Maiden, Motorhead, Thin Lizzy… The whole record is a trek through Earth’s demise which everyone contributes to, oblivious or not. It’s a procession toward death. The world has gone insane. Humans have become apathetic, greedy, self-centered, over-medicated, delusional parasites in a filthy, drained and deflated world. It’s hopeless now, too far gone. Now we wait. That’s what this record is about. Earth’s possession and death’s procession.

Second pressing limited to 200 copies in light blue Vinyl "German ultra-hardcore band from the early 80´s who released 2 killer demo tapes "Pogo Lebt" (1983) and "Last Attack" (1984) and the "Kopflos" 7" (1985). Scapegoats were well known worldwide from many compilation tapes, their "Kopflos" EP released in 85´and from the great german LP compilation "Let's have more Fun" back then. SCAPEGOATS the german answer to KAAOS, RATTUS, SVART FRAMTID, CRUDE SS and MOB 47. On this record you find the best tracks from both demo tapes and some unreleased bonus stuff. Also you get a bonus CD with even more tracks, an 8 page booklet, a 24" x 12" poster-insert plus OBI.

After nearly 30 years the wait is finally over! The official discography of the cult Polish grindcore act Schismopathic for the first time available on vinyl. Featuring total of 24 songs the LP includes classic "Kharkharamaphatic Regurgitator" Demo 1989 + Schismopathic album recorded in 1991!

"The Phobos/Deimos Suite" revives the brutal tech-death style of the late 90s/early 2000s and includes ten devastating and mind-melting tracks! Featuring current members of First Fragment, Chthe'ilist, Funebrarum, Benighted & Sutrah, international combo Serocs is pure neural ecstasy! 

The album takes inspiration from The Divine Comedy/A Christmas Carol and similar tales. It is the story of a selfish, piece-of-shit man who is terrified of death. Living in constant anxiety and isolation, he finds himself one night being attacked by sleep demons (mares), who transport him to Hell. There, he finds out that Hell is not the classic demon/fire/torture-ridden place, but Hell is inside our heads. Hell is our ego, our mistakes, our selfishness as mankind and as individuals. 

Serocs began in 2009 as a one-man project by guitarist Antonio Freyre who released 2 EPs and a full length album. The project later transformed into a full-blown international band with the release of 'The Next' and ‘And When the Sky Was Opened’. 

After 3 full lengths and some lineup changes, Serocs is back with a new album entitled "The Phobos/Deimos Suite".

 HARDCORE/METAL. SHITSHIFTER, the German trio is no slouch when it comes to aggressive tunes. "pyre" is kind of like a "best of" when it comes to their own sound. Every cut of every extreme genre they incorporate is done excellently. Their hardcore, grindcore, crust and death-metal elements are an explosive caustic cocktail. Clocking in at just 25min., "pyre", the vinyl debut by SHITSHIFTER is nothing short of awesome. Every one of the album's 9 tracks will pummel into you unrelentingly - think of a train with no brakes. From grimy hardcore riffage that seamlessly transitions into pure grind-metal madness - furious blast beats with a deadly array of bestial power-violence-esque riffs, the brutal, malevolent and bleak tone of "pyre" waste no time beating the listener to a shitty pulp. The longer/slower tracks on "pyre" delve deeper into the murky recesses of SHITSHIFTER's sound. On these particular tracks the band craft sludgy, plodding, towering riffs that atomize with each note. In addition to their volatility, noisy and chaotic elements also plays an important role in these tracks. Those in need of a outstanding, aggressive fix are going to get that through and through. "pyre" makes curious what the future holds for SHITSHIFTER. These guys got the chemistry and made something that will snap some necks. The record is so simple to love and if you have ever been angry at all, you will love the rage they offer. If you’re a fan of NAILS, TRAP THEM or BEHEMOTH as well as TODAY IS THE DAY or UNSANE. Vinyl includes a digital download card. You need to check out SHITSHIFTER right away. Spin "pyre" - spin this monster!!

Schönesende is the solo project of Matthew Bunkell, known for his work with Light Bearer and Momentum. With the exception of Jack Riddleston’s vocals on the song »Rise, Moloch«, spoken words by Joanne and Gary Bunkell and a the voice of postman-turned-poet Charles Bukowski and others, Matthew has written and recorded his debut album »Schönesende« all by himself.

The endeavour, started in 2012, marks Matthew’s exploration of philosophical as well as psychological themes. Over the course of almost 70 minutes, »Schönesende« does not only musically explore different facets of Black Metal, Folk and abstract experimental music, but also immerses its listeners in a multi-disciplinary philosophical discourse revolving around questions about the human condition. Matthew, who in the near future intends to publish a collection of short stories and a novel which tie into the themes of the Schönesende project, cites authors such as Ernest Becker, Allen Ginsberg, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, John Fante and Bukowski as influences for his art. Becker’s work – in which the cultural anthropologist postulates that the denial of one’s death or mortality is a driving force for human behaviour of all types – resonated so profoundly with Matthew that he decided to explore this topic further with Schönesende.  

Just like Schönesende’s music open-minded and diversified approach to Black Metal and its playful interaction with other genres, Matthew’s lyrics transcend simplistic dualistic concepts. »No one perpetrates evilness for the sake of evil. We live in an existence of subjective truths which we will never truly universally share and are trying to make sense of«, Matthew says in regards to the considerations which have informed Schönesende. He is free to admit that while he naturally opposes any form of oppression, he recognises that we are all »attempting to create ideological structures that benefit us and most regularly rob others of their basic human rights.«

»Schönesende« is as much a critical evaluation of ideological constructs – ranging from religion to capitalism and so forth – empathetically approached from the perspective of those who fall prey to them as it is a skilfully executed artistic work of art in which Matthew’s talents as both a musician and a writer are tied together seamlessly.

After "Market Yourself" (2004) and "Attack" (2007), SEE YOU IN HELL
from Brno, Czech Republic, come up with their third 12“ LP, full with
8 tracks of raw and furious hardcore/punk with massive gang-choruses –

the 13 years of their career, but this is left to the listeners to
judge...

Recorded at Hellsound studio in Čestice, Czech Republic, choruses
screamed out by Iny (GRIDE) and Zrout (LAHAR), cover painted by Wes
Samples, and sound mastered by Jack Control at his Enormous Door cave.

150 copies come out as a limited hand-numbered pressing, packed in a
cardboard box with silk-screen print, containing a coloured vinyl,
DVDr from SEE YOU IN HELL’s Japanese tour in 2010, sticker and button.
Both regular and limited copies feature a coloured OBI strip.

"O Nas is a top quality hardore. There are 4 tracks and everything about them just clicks. The ep flows well from start to finish. The band plays tought ass hadcore with a crossover/thrash vibe but they try to put their stamp on it so it’s not just a mixtape of different influences. Some of the riffs sound like they could be lifted from Chaos AD, while some tracks are straight up hardcore. The music do not get stale and it’s amazing how many creative ways they came up with to make this stuff above average without losing aggression and focus. Not a moment of this feels too long or repetitive. On top of it all, fertile vocals deliver the message of strength and resilience without sounding pretentious. If you don’t mind this being sung in Polish give it a try." - Hardboiled

SEPUTUS is a long-running extreme metal collaboration between instrumentalist Steve Schwegler and vocalist Doug Moore, both currently of New York experimental metal act PYRRHON. MAN DOES NOT GIVE, their first officially-released LP, is a terrifying plunge into the depths of dissonant '90s-era American death metal, tempered by black metal melancholia and braced by elements of grind, thrash, and industrial noise. As carefully textured as it is ferociously direct, MAN DOES NOT GIVE offers a unique and vivid reflection of the ugliness and sorrow that pervade modern life.

SERPENT EATER, based out of Cologne, Germany, has been plodding forward with its current lineup since early 2012. With members hailing from HAMMERHEAD (Ger), TUMULT (Ger), DASKRILL (Ger) and THROATS (UK), SERPENT EATER has been well rooted in the DIY Hardcore Punk scene for ages. Living on anger, SERPENT EATER is fueled, not dispirited, by life’s experiences and struggles. As such, the lyrical concepts employed in their work mainly focus on the weirdness and deformations of the psyche as well as the emotions of a violated mankind in modern society.
SERPENT EATER creates its signature dark sound to emphasize this lyrical approach by mixing elements of death and black metal to (post) hardcore, crust, heavy and dark 70s rock, and doom to create sludgy, heavy and somber atmospheres of despair and hopelessness infused with moments of calm, sadness and melodic doldrums – only to be interrupted by sudden outbursts of sheer fury.

Shallow Grave have been journeying into the heart of darkness since forming in 2009. And today in 2018, Shallow Grave re-emerge from the Southern Depths channeling distorted transmissions from beyond the transcendent void on their new album, Threshold Between Worlds.

Thematically circling around one of the oldest and most potent forms of human servitude – blood sacrifice – Threshold Between Worlds is obscenely dark, inhumanly heavy, and emotionally devastating. Shallow Grave alchemize corrupted doom, impoverished psychedelia and unscripted experimentation on the album, combining monumental heaviness with chiasmic minimalism.

Their self-titled debut, released in 2013 by Astral Projection, and was hailed as “massively heavy and musically punishing” (Metal Rules) and “uncompromising, unrelenting... and a masterclass of extreme metal” (The Sludgelord). Threshold Between Worlds ups that ante, seeing Shallow Grave reimagining the sacred and bringing even more unsettling sonic carnage and remorseless intensity to their art.

Threshold Between Worlds’ labyrinthine performances summon ancient entropic resonances via ominous audio manipulations, and Shallow Grave’s singular methodology is showcased as crushing and bone-chilling doom fuses with subtle improvisations, musique concrète, mangled tape loops, subliminal samples, and a hauntological ambience.

Threshold Between Worlds sees Shallow Grave weaving even thicker layers of dread and atmospheric noise into the fabric of their art. Resulting in a powerful illustration of sacrifice transforming consciousness, through blood-soaked ascendancy.

The raw materials of Threshold Between Worlds were recorded live at Auckland’s The Lab studios, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The album was released on October 31st 2018, and is available on black vinyl and digital.

SHIPWRECKS may have come across one or two post-rock aficionados already. Newly formed in 2014 out of various Cologne based projects, from the instrumental, independent and hardcore underground, things are really taking off since the release of their debut EP in 2015. With positive echoes across the scene and enthusiastic reviews on blogs as well as established print media, the four young men toured across Europe playing the enowned

Open Source and New Fall Festival, as well as supporting the Postrock grandeurs of Immanu El and Explosions In The Sky - a pretty remarkable performance backed by just one EP! Now, after two years of tuning, tweaking and polishing in the rehearsal room and studio, their self-titled debut album is going to be released by Sportklub Rotter Damm and Maniyax Records accompanied by a release tour in late fall. There are signs of an impending storm!

While the 7" with SomeCameRunning was more a fine piece of trashing fastcore, these new songs are way more powerful, and well, embittered and personal at the one hand and political and fierce at the other. Striking hard against patriotism and the common conservative filth, this band takes a stand. Some might call this some kind of modern hardcore but I hate these phrases and moreover this records moves beyond any lame hc-trends. All you bands and kids focusing on pure hardness without content, this one is against you.

Fuel Of Death is the second LP by Sin Logica from Lucerne / Switzerland. The band has been around since ages and has released two singles and one LP so far. Now, Fuel Of Death – 12 songs, stomping hardcore/punk that never goes full speed ahead. The dirty rocking stuff has definitively influenced these people and the Motörhead shirt on the backcover makes a lot of sense. 

A trio of unassuming brothers from Cork via County Wexford, Síoraí Geimhreadh (which means "Eternal Winter" in Irish and is pronounced Sheery Geevra) are now over a decade into their obscure existence. Beginning as a black metal outfit, their current sound is informed by doom and noise rock, but beholden to their own experimental impulses rather than any genre norms. Siorai Geimhreadh's approach intentionally avoids specific genre definition or stylistic markers, instead embracing a sense of openness in their playing. While their music is heavy, intense and noisy, they never strictly follow any one way of playing or attempt to work within a specific style. Instead, they work to create a style of their own through a shared intuitive method. Recent releases see the band constantly dismantling and reassembling their sound. Their 2012 tape (which intentionally was never given a name) consists of two tracks of dense, freeform noise rock. Their 2015 album "Not A Room" (released on Fort Evil Fruit) works around a single repeated pattern, drifting out of structure in a departure from previous work, creating tension through extreme repetition, subtle mumbling synthesiser and an uncanny sparseness. "Sitting Patiently" acts as a counterpoint to "Not a Room". It is a return to the more visceral work of earlier releases, transformed through a focus on freeform methods of playing. "Sitting Patiently" is a single track spread over two sides of an LP. Side A is immediate and disorienting, with frenetic playing and a raw vocal delivery. The B side sees the track find a sense of tangible structure, which proceeds to slowly drift apart as it progresses.

Once again SIX REASONS TO KILL evolved their sound on 'Architects of Perfection', the latest effort of the Koblenz-based fivepiece. The new material again closes the gap between modern and extreme Death Metal, the bands very own Hardcore influence, some laid-back atmospheric sounds and a heavy flirt with electronica. Longtime friend and collaborator Kristian 'Kohle' Bonifer (Crematory, Agathodamion, Sieges Even) once again handled mixing duties and designed another heavy hitting masterpiece. This is the Vinyl-Version of 'Architects of Perfection'. Strictly Limited to 300 copies!

SIX REASONS TO KILL have the distinction of being insistent and consequent in what they're doing – without loosing sight of their target to play modern and aggressive Metal with a strong hardcore impact. In 2012 SIX REASONS TO KILL returned to the Kohlekeller-Studios again to record their fifth full-lengh album. The result is We Are Ghosts, is the most elaborated album of the Koblenz-based five piece.

We Are Ghosts is the essence of the bands music. 100% SIX REASONS TO KILL – but still an improvement. Songs like God Of The Dead or Inked Inside prove the unusual musical spectrum of the band. Dark and heavy influenced sounds, modern melodic Death Metal and some violent riff-shredding join forces on an album that keeps the attention of the listener without being a challenge. The lyrics of singer Lars Tekolf prove the bands consequent straight forward-attitude and try to convey another perspective on social topics.

The bands more Metal-influenced sound on We Are Ghosts was well received on a four week full European tour as support for NY-HC-legends Pro-Pain. With We Are Ghosts Six Reasons To Kill are ready to find a way into the hearts of every fan of brutal and melodic music.

Originally released in 2008 by the band themselves, "Primordial Dominion" is a 40+ minute trip of madness that definitely deserved a wider and massive distribution. Everlasting Spew Records is revamping this psychedelic slab of death infused metal with a new Slipcase CD version and Vinyl and Digital versions for the first time ever.
Skeleton Of God, based in Denver, Colorado, took form from the ashes of Hideous Corpse and helped forging Death Metal and Brutal Death Metal back in the 90s with their debut EP "Urine Garden" showing everybody that there were no boundaries in the genre. "Primordial Dominion" continues this way, a trip definitely without any kind of limitation, incorporating huge doses of psychedelia, mind bending doomish passages and severe attacks of grinding death metal.
The line-up saw the presence of Joel DiPietro (also in Exit-13, Satan's Bake Sale) who recently passed away at the age of 44.

10 tracks of raw Hellhammer inspired filth!
SKINCRAWLER exists to pay tribute to the origins of extreme music. A genuine appreciation for Hellhammer was a must for making a band like this see the light of day. After some lineup problems early on, this band will be continued as a solo project of Elektrokutioner (Decrepitaph, Procreant, Foreboding, Bastard Cross, Reeking Filth) with absolutely no musical variations from what has been done in the past.

A fatal conflux of churning devastation, NYC’s Skullshitter latest dose of insurgent putridity is joined with the first official output from Toronto’s Bleeding Out (ex-Endless Blockade, Column of Heaven, Abyss, Fuck the Facts) on their new Split LP via Nerve Altar on September 27.

Sky:Lark! is a power trio truly worthy of the name. Their third LP is a healthily noisy post-hardcore racket, like Shotmaker, Fugazi, Karp, Hoover and the like, though they transcend their influences to make something all their own. Occasional blasts of sax abound to keep you on your toes. This is the heavy, twisty and weird, like the band members.

We’re certainly living through some dark times right now; the fear of illness and death saturating our daily lives, coupled with the growing anger at various governments for their (mis)handling of the pandemic and, in some cases, their seeming lack of empathy towards their own citizens.

What better way to soundtrack to these dark days than some bleak ‘90s-style sludge, courtesy of Finland’s Slave Hands; a hideous amalgamation of the suffocating crawl of Corrupted and decrepit violence of Neanderthal

First album from Slow Death.

All music on A side and screen print on B side.

Cover is 3D and comes with 3D glasses...

Hailing from Connecticut and Boston, Slow Death is the new band from Randy Larsen, former bassist and singer for seminal noise rockers Cable and Empty Flowers, drummer Matt Spearin of Disapperer, and rounded out by guitarist Jeremy Medeiros and bass player Jesse Sherman.

Hate-Filled World is 8 songs, clocking in at around 18 minutes, and is a relentless aural assault. The mix of old punk and hardcore blended with some good old fashioned AMREP style noise rock is sure to catch the attention of heavy music fans young and old. Lyrically, with an obvious nod to old horror movies and serial killers, mixed with a dose of straight up depression and frustration, this is music that will take you on a ride to the darker side.

SLOWLY WE ROT was founded in the summer of 2013 by vocalist & guitarist Niels, who also played in Worms Feed and drummer Vic, followed by the bassist, Chris.

7 months later, unannounced and without stormy hypes or trailers they sent a very rough version of “Solitary Realm” out into the world. Soon after the band agreed with labels Skin & Bones Records from the UK and Dark Omen Records to a split release with Depravation on august 1st 2014, featuring two of their songs.

The impact of this small preview of their harsh, loud and grim sound lead to a bunch of shows and left people craving for more. The next chapter “Poverty of Existence” was written in only a matter of months, an EP that can only be defined as pure evil. Skin & Bones took the lead to release the tape version in february 2015, followed by a UK tour and a couple of release dates in the mainland.

As future plans developed and musical differences came up the band went through a line-up change. Vic was replaced by Ibn and Andy took over the 2nd guitar duties. Now, a few months later, Slowly We Rot is ready for the vinyl release of “Poverty of Existence” and to penetrate your eardrums again.

Catchy, heavy, speed metal as it should be.

They truly are the kids of rock ’n roll!

 The second release of these groovy German hardcore dudes. A bit more hardcore influenced than the first LP but still their unique brand, means a mix of heavy (yes, heavy!) rock, d-beat, blastbeats and, you guessed it, hardcore. The dark and depressive spirit is still around and gets garnished with corresponding post-screaming hardcore vocals. Zeroid, Alpinist or His Hero is Gone are names that get murmured when people hear Spitting Nails for the first time, some might even find a slight 90s Emo influence.

Maximum Rock’n’Roll:

Blackened post-hardcore out of Hamburg, Germany. Now, black metal-inspired post-hardcore might sound terrible to some (myself included) but the results here are actually not so bad. It’s as if they took all the evil antics out of black metal’s gritty harmonic dissidence and replaced it with some good old punk invective. Throw in some lurching build-ups, pummelling breakdowns and lyrics ripping up our capitalist excess and you’ve got a winner!

Borders can be mental, existing only in our heads, and yet feel as powerful as though they were made of barbed wire and guarded with guns. And then there are the borders that are very much physical, which can have quite visceral emotional ramifications. The furious, Italian, hardcore act STORM{O} is back in 2019 with the new album Finis Terrae out on October 4th via Moment Of Collapse records.

If the previous record Ere was an all-out cross section of everyday life presented with audacious, pained rage, Finis Terrae takes on the nonsensical reality of our society. “We're constantly looking for borders, creating boundaries where there are none. Just as the ancients established the finis terrae, or the end of the known world where there was nothing left for them to conquer, so do we exclude the existence of what we cannot understand, control or dominate,” explains singer Luca Rocco. “Instead of building walls against the unknown, this album works to push ourselves through collapsing borders; there's no end of the world, just as there does not exist an individual ‘self’ detached from the environment and all other living beings. We can choose to be the end of the world or to push ourselves through the unknown.”

In a world where hope is vanishing, for STORM{O}, writing this record was almost a necessity, a required act. “In this album, you can see a growing urgency of expression, and Finis Terrae is more direct then Ere. It was written and recorded in less than a year between long tours and periods on the road, and the clear necessity of saying something surfaces throughout the whole album.”

Working with Soft Moon’s producer and sound engineer Maurizio Baggio at La Distilleria in Bassano del Grappa (Italy) helped the band find a more cohesive and mature sound. “After the release of Ere, we played over a hundred of shows,” bassist Federico Trimeri says. “The live experience has always been our distinguishing mark that defines us as a band. During the recording sessions we tried to recreate the same sound of our shows.”

They play a unique mixture of pulverizing hardcore guided by fast, aggressive drumming. Wailing vocals in Italian are intertwined with anxious spoken words, angry shouts and desperate screams. The furious song structures lead to brilliant set breaks that mark the only spots to gasp for breath. The guitars act within the frame of dynamic songwriting that leaves space for a couple of uplifting moments, while the bass adds a discreet noise-rock edge.

The first single, “Tempi Morti,” perfectly represents the band’s sound. “This is the first song we wrote and it can be seen as a starting point to the album. It speaks about a static daily routine filled with meaningless and unfair relationships. From there, we start looking at the boundaries we have drawn around us, recognizing them in the structure of the house we live in, the country we crossed and the cities we walk through.”

Over 12 songs that combine the fury and speed of old-school hardcore with the gloomiest melodies of post-hardcore, STORM{O} delivers another album that is a testament to the underground music scene.

32 minutes and 32 seconds, 15 tracks based on the late 90′s post-hardcore, soiled by dark crust riffs and renewed by an emotionally intensive mood, relentlessly lacerated by a native-language screaming which takes its roots from the Italian hardcore of the 80′s.
Recorded live in the studio in 6 days and mixed at Studio 73 by Riccardo Pasini (THE SECRET, EPHEL DUATH) and mastered by Alan Douches (CONVERGE, ORCHID) at West West Side Music, New York, the full length album will be released in gatefold 12” format, with artwork by Luca Rento.

Black Vinyl

Norwegian Black Metallers SVARTELDER, whose lineup comprises members of CARPATHIAN FOREST, NORDJEVEL, IN THE WOODS... DEN SAAKALDTE, PANTHEON I, OLD FOREST and Doedsvangr, have released the long acclaimed debut full length album titled “Pyres”.

The six-track album, set for release on Dusktone in June 2016, is available as a digipack CD , as well as a Limited Edition A5 Digi CD limited to 100 copies hand numbered, and a 300 copy Limited Edition vinyl.

The artwork has been done by Khaos Diktator (ARDITI, NORDJEVEL, HORNA etc

Recorded in Norway at the Woodscave Studio. and mastered by WSL Studio in France, “Pyres” is the follow up to SVARTELDER’s “Askebundet” EP, which hit the streets last year, also on Dusktone as well.

Aside from founder and frontman Doedsadmiral SVARTELDER’s lineup comprises of Maletoth on bass and guitars, AK-47 on drums, and Kobold on keys.

There is no doubt that the band’s sound is firmly rooted in black metal, but SVARTELDER’s strength lies in the fact that not only is its lineup vastly experienced, it is also able to draw that experience from a variety of different musical backgrounds and influences. And this is something that allows the band to mix different elements together, bringing a fresher, more varied, approach to the overall sound.

In 2017, Azazel and Choronzon joined forces to turn their vision of black metal into music. Both members are multi-instrumentalists and well versed in music production.

With backgrounds in acts like Setherial, Torchbearer and The Citadel, among others, Svartghast rests on a firm foundation of musical craftsmanship.

Inspired by the symphonic, atmospheric and epic sounds of 90’s black metal acts, like Emperor, Dimmu Borgir and Limbonic Art, Svartghast forge their own vision: an homage to the darkness of old.

Rising grim soundscapes introduce their solid black metal offering, quickly coalescing into a rousing cascade of riff driven blast beats, drawing the listener into SVARTGHAST’s unmistakably sonic atmosphere.

The Swedish duo immediatly brings the listener to the pure sounds of the golden age of Swedish black metal, making him travel among fires, forests and dark and apocalyptic visions.

After the amazing interest arising from their two official singles the full length album only confirm Svartghast's compositional mastery that comes also from a long experience in milestones bands such as Setherial since the nineties

There is no doubt that Svarghast can be considered one of the most anticipated upcoming bands of this late 2020 and their debut album "Perdition" is a truly must for anyone looking for the finest swedish black metal out there, special vocal guest Memnock (Abyssic).
