Mid-paced, muddy death metal with deep, churning quagmire chugging and low end,guttural vocals. If you’ve got a spare 20 minutes and fancy some death metal debauchery, then why not put on your Ed Gein t-shirt and lend a severed ear to this pile of mash from the morgue.
Melodic Finnish Black Metal, Debut album. NOCTURNAL SORCERY unfurl nine screeds of hateful-yet-melodic classicism that's paradigmatically Finnish through and through. While much of the album's 46-minute runtime is composed of concise slices of cryogenic filth. March on the bones of the old with NOCTURNAL SORCERY, because when the dust settles, there'll be The Holy Law in Total Ruin!
Nocturnal Wanderer's music is absolutely otherworldly, with a mesmerizing blend of some of black metal’s finest melodic underpinnings, classic heavy metal, and the dirty romping fun of genre classics a la Venom and Bulldozer without actually sounding like those bands. Nocturnal Wanderer’s sound is their own; just as wild, but even more free, there’s a looseness that draws to mind something primordial dancing in the air, with the potential to be cruel but without the modernity to be construed as anything approaching evil.
Beauty is to be found everywhere throughout Gift of the Night and is a defining characteristic that draws together the music. Minimalism of both riffs and composition give way to frenzied heavy metal solos that are the pulse of the music, and the romping, bass-driven black metal can swiftly build up to one of those emotional solos before falling either into a sharp assault or a dreamy swell. Predicting the album is impossible and the entire thing is a journey; let it draw you in, and it will captivate nothing else.
Highly recommended for fans of Malokarpatan, Havukruunu, Arckanum.
Heavy metal mania from Santiago, Chile, from some young killers that just want to fuck up your day with their sick riffage. This is some of the coolest heavy metal that we've heard in a while, full of passion and energy, and we're excited to have released it!
For fans of Universe, Running Wild, Mercyful Fate.
the fifth studio album from Swedish band Tiamat. Featuring female background vocals by Birgit Zacher (Moonspell, Angel Dust) and experimentation with a variety of influences, the album marked the group's first complete withdrawal from both death metal and conventional heavy metal, following their 1994 release, Wildhoney. It was also the first production after their relocation to Germany, and was written almost entirely by founder/lead songwriter Johan Edlund.
Crest Of The Martyrs Demos, an alternate/demo version of TWISTED TOWER DIRE’s adored third album, available for the first time!
In the days of olde, after classic heavy metal was supplanted by extreme music and before the current reignition of interest that the genre has enjoyed, Northern Virginia’s TWISTED TOWER DIRE tirelessly defended true heavy metal in all forms as they sought to breathe new light into a then largely dead genre. By the time their now-legendary third album Crest Of The Martyrs was written they were on top of the world, having played Wacken for the first time a couple years earlier and having released two full-lengths on The Miskatonic Foundation, run by Rich Walker of Solstice fame, as well as a wide array of EPs, splits, compilation tracks, and more.
Crest Of The Martyrs was the next step: a bigger power metal label, sleeker production, and TWISTED TOWER DIRE’s biggest hooks and choruses yet. Underneath the gleaming power metal edge provided by the production provided by the label and studio still lurked the same triumphing true metal band, however, and for the first time Nameless Grave Records is proud to present Crest of the Martyrs the way the band originally intended it: as a devastating, lean set of heavy metal bangers untouched by modern power metal production, and alternate studio decisions.
Old fans of the band can rejoice to have these different set of recordings available for the first time, and new fans can marvel at the powerhouse of one of America’s finest bands playing at their best. Highly recommended for fans of Visigoth, Pharaoh, and Omen.
Recorded in 2002 at Killabrew Studios, produced by Matt Crooks and TWISTED TOWER DIRE, and mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studios, Crest Of The Martyrs Demos is completed with artwork personally done for this release by guitarist Scott Waldrop. The CD version features bonus tracks, including a second demo as well as a live track from Wacken 2003, +liner notes from the band!
