America’s Guitar Virtuoso Toby Knapp returns with his unique brand of Shredding Black Thrash Metal with Waxen’s long awaited 6th album!

Signing with world-renowned guitar god label Shrapnel Records in 1992 at the unheard of age of 19, Toby Knapp continues to have a productive & prolific career in rock and heavy metal.

Recording albums with 20+ of his own bands including Onward, Toby Knapp, Waxen, Where Evil Follows, Necrytis, Affliktor & Darken, Mr. Knapp is also a full time guitar teacher. A session studio and live musician for many world class national artists including Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Godless Rising, Fetid Zombie, Abhor & more, Toby Knapp has solidified his position as an all-around world-wide guitar Hero, Virtuoso and International Legend!

Waxen delivers skillfully played blackened thrash metal with strong true metal leanings and the undercurrent of black metal, drenched in Toby Knapp’s trademark neo-classical shred-mastery!

Waxen’s debut album “Fumaroth” was released in 2006. Joining the Moribund Family in 2014 Waxen swiftly released a tetrarchy of internationally acclaimed black / thrash metal albums with “Agios Holokauston” (2014), “Weihung Auf Satan" (2016),"Terror Decree” (2018) and “Blasphemer in Celestial Courts” (2019). These albums redefined technical black / thrash metal and credit Knapp with the invention an entirely new sub-genre “Shred-Black Metal”!

"Die Macht Von Hassen" (German for The Power of Hate) Waxen’s 6th album, is loaded with traditional thrash metal riffing that turns into black metal shredding, then sways towards a neo-classical heavy metal solo or segments of brutal death metal tremolo. Toby Knapp’s innovative and eclectic style and talent for writing real songs surpasses and sets him apart from all other shredders!

“Die Macht Von Hassen” is Knapp’s personal response to a Black Metal scene which has been diluted and distilled for far too long into something unrecognizable by its creators, founders and followers. A comprehensive tome of ceremonial magic put forth to re-instill the vigor, vinegar and vitriol of days of old. Days when black and thrash metal, were about creating hateful art aimed against the world’s major religions and contempt towards humanity as a whole, instead of being socially correct. Join Waxen in their crusade for “Die Macht Von Hassen”!

their crusade for “Die Macht Von Hassen”! Worship the Guitar Wizardry!

THE RETURN OF MONUMENTAL OCCULT GERMAN DOOM !!!

The monumental modern Doom / Death act ADVERSVM has returned with their highly anticipated new album “Vama Marga”! Established in Germany in 2015, ADVERSVM came forth with a mission, one which they have clearly accomplished: To create art more sinister than black metal and death metal, and to manifest this sound with apocalyptic verses. “Vama Marga” is the 3rd full-length recording from the tenebrous titans, following their highly praised “Dysangelion” (2019 Moribund Records) and coveted debut “Aion Sitra Ahra” (2018 Iron Bonehead).

“Vama Marga” speaks in tongues with doomish, blazing and epic soundscapes to the infernal regions of the heart. ADVERSVM’s magnum opus to date invokes 10 anthems of left-hand-path apotheosis, Nietzscheism and traditional Satanic power. Creeping with shadowy cold darkness, atmospheric interludes collide with utterly crushing and mesmerizing death / doom metal. “Vama Marga” is an atmospheric journey from slow depths to raging fires and back into the icy abyss of the soul.

Witness ADVERSVM’s Apocalyptic Awakening!

UNDERGROUND METAL FLAMES IN THE PHILIPPINES! Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. In the case of ABSIT OMEN, it's a golden chance to wreak havoc once again. From its origins as an obscure 1993-era alumnus of the Philippine underground, their return had to happen as a necessity. Early violent years of playing in packed Hardcore/Punk/Thrash/Crossover/Metal bills from repurposed basketball court-organized gigs to the renowned bastion of Manila's underground, Club Dredd, ABSIT OMEN's reignition comes at just the perfect time. Having toiled in obscurity but without letting up their songwriting and metalcraft, their return is not just merely to settle old scores. They don't need to prove anything anyway with a well-composed debut release that's almost 30 years in the making. Make no mistake about it, ABSIT OMEN continues to ignore all trends to deliver their first album of scorching Filipino Thrash Metal!

A PUTRID DEATH METAL ACT BASED IN COLOMBIA! CASKET GRINDER is a Death Metal band based in Medellín, Colombia, formed in 2010. The goal was to achieve an old-school sound in the vein of American Death Metal without leaving aside elements from the European scene with which a distinctive touch could be reached. Its lyrics talk about despair, insanity, fear of the unknown, and delirium caused by mental disorders, or drug abuse. CASKET GRINDER's sophomore album, entitled "Sepulchral Trip", features all the old tracks from their debut full-length album "Fall into Dementia" before its release, rearranged and re-recorded, plus a brand-new track called "Acid Storm" and a cover of PESTILENCE's track "Suspended Animation" on this putrid old-school death metal album.

CULT CLASSIC DEATH METAL GEM FROM AMERICA! GEHENNA hails from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and was formed in the early 90s by bassist Joe Lombard and drummer/vocalist Rick "Slim" Boast.

A MAJESTIC AND ABYSMAL CHILEAN DEATH METAL ACT! Since its inception, in mid-2000 AD in the city of Santiago, Republic of Chile, INANNA has navigated tumultuous courses discovering and overcoming unknown routes. From their pantheon, proscribed by innumerable curses, two demos, two live albums, and three full-lengths have emerged. In each of these revelations, the band has experimented and twisted the laws of cosmic chemistry, revealing madness, misery, mysticism, and the horror of the unknown in vast chords, aggression, deranged riffing, expelling their apparitions of surreal Death Metal. Workshopped for a period of two years, and entangled in endless problems, "Transfigured in a Thousand Delusions" could finally see the light at the end of the year 2012. Now, ten years later, Awakening Records is proud to officially reissue this Death Metal masterpiece! Continuing with the harmonic battles and its ghostly dread, this second album showed the musical growth of the group at its best. Along with the vertiginous speeds and caustic weirdness, a layered mass of dissonances and ancient hidden melodies surfaced. Each composition became a different challenge, a new view towards other universes, never leaving aside the absolute dementia of the musical style that initially brought them together.

From the deepest pits of Argentinean underground INFERNAL CURSE return with a bloody vengeance.Their second fullength is a punishing slab of primordial DEATH metal fury.Having utilized the virtues of analogue sound once again, INFERNAL CURSE managed to came up with a record that stems from the very first era of Death metal without sounding derivative,retro or shallow.Apocalipsis is a masterful amalgam of death,thrash & black metal cloaked in a charmingly obscure atmosphere... check out "obituaries' track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qG-C6C_SDU
