The Ultimate Reissue of the Bewitched's debut album is finally available! The cult mid 90s Black Doom masterpiece, Hibernum In Perpetuum, was remastered from the original sources and released on a double CD plus the Bewitched's whole previous recordings, including all of their demos (1991-1994) and the split lp 1993 previously released by Warmaster Records. New art design, layouts and Doomicus' liner notes on a deluxe 18 pages booklet. This is Hibernum In Perpetuum sounding at its best!
As presaged by their Too Fast for the Flames 7" in early 2019, BEWITCHER are leaner and especially meaner than ever! The power-trio built their name in the underground on the back of three cult demos and especially their self-titled debut album in 2016, and now arrives Under the Witching Cross to present the band in their crudest 'n' rudest form: Rough 'n' rowdy speed metal of a most classic '80s aspect, with a touch of good, old-fashioned EVIL the way Venom and early Razor did it way back in the day.
In fact, one could say BEWITCHER are a veritable time-machine of enviable, unbelievable proportions - except you look at the calendar and realize you're living in the present! But BEWITCHER don't give a fuck, and proceed to pulverize you with POUNDING METAL, one anthem after another, on the eight-anthem/33-minute Under the Witching Cross. We can also mention Celtic Frost, early Sodom, Exciter, and even a touch of Dissection as ever-honorable influences here, so you know BEWITCHER are the absolute Real Deal! But the band's also highly recommended for maniacs of MIDNIGHT, BAT, POUNDER, CHAINBREAKER, and Italy's BARBARIAN.
BEYOND YE GRAVE changed Band Name to BEYOND THE GRAVE, and Returned Again!!!! The newest long awaited masterpiece from russian alcoholic maniacs. Album was recorded in different places like Moscow, Siberia (Miass) and Vietnam (Nha Trang). Six Tracks of unholy old-school Black/Death Metal! If you not a poser you must have this release! Not for sober listening!
A must have for all you evil fucking metal manics! Venom-ish metal born from the northern demon hell in Japan. This CD contains all the band's previous demos and singles from 2010 to 2015, fully remastered and for the 1st time. Comes with OBI and Japanese band info/graphics insert.
US Black Metal renegades BITTER PEACE return
with their second album "Opus II". Shifting from fast,
blasting sections to slow, mesmerizing passages,
"Opus II" spans the gamut of extreme Black Metal.
Haunting, ghostly vocals filled with sinister screams,
inhuman howls and deathly invocations conjure a dismal,
eerie and unsettling atmosphere. Their ominous sound is
augmented by samples of mass-murder and world war,
adding to the over-all atrocity. "Opus II" is pure
anti conformism to all that is the status-quo, a warring
opus of USBM to awaken the dark spirit within us all!

The black candle is burning.... The black moon is shining.... November 11, 2016 we are releasing new album of Luxembourgian Black Metal band BLACK CANDLE "Lost Light of the North". The atmosphere created by this unique band is as primitive and overpoweringly, as well as unique. That is what is valuable in the true Black Metal, as we see it. Canonic Cult following with simultaneous dominance of personality. Excellent unfashionable sound and performance. One of the best vocals in Black Metal history. Primitive but beautiful multipage booklet.
We advise to all lovers of grim (here we mean "really grim!") and occult Metal music to pay close attention to this CD!
The strong influence of the Swiss Dark scene is evident. But this is only a "plus"! Connoisseurs of such unusual and brilliant bands like MORDOR, SADNESS, and even the old SAMAEL - please take this CD. We give you a guarantee - you will like this album. After the recording of the first three albums - "Nightfire", "The Faceless Angel" and "Lead Me to the Tombs" Simon finally gone mad (the death of a fellow band member obviously played an important role in this) - Now Blackness is generated spontaneously in his work. A little more ... and it will fill the whole world
Forming in the dark days of 1991, Black Crucifixion have long been a revered name in the Finnish black metal scene. From their beginnings through today, the band’s work has been a pillar of challenging magnificence: always with an immediately identifiable sound, but always evolving and surprising, taking the true heart of black metal - boundless freedom, unfettered unorthodoxy - and casting dazzling new shapes with it whilst honoring its original essence. And amidst an already sterling, supremely cult catalog do Black Crucifixion reach its apotheosis with 'Lightless Violent Chaos'. Ever aptly titled, Black Crucifixion's fourth album creates a sonic and lyrical journey that should be experienced by the most adherent supporters of cult black metal as well as fans of progressive rock and dark ambient atmospheres. Indeed, such is the most endearing aspect of this long-cult band: the skillful balance of tradition and transcendence, purity and progressiveness, darkness and its underside.
