"Sword and Sorcery" is the third album by the Finish band WITCHBLOOD. Here we have an interesting enigma as WITCHBLOOD belong to that rare breed of black metal band who have somehow managed to go almost entirely unnoticed in the metal underground, despite having a number of things that will intrigue those who take the time to really listen to their music. The project is lead by a woman which uses the pseudonym Iron Meggido, who provides the vocals and all of the instruments with the exception of the drums. Drumming is provided by a revolving cast of skins men. While one-man projects are a dime a dozen in underground black metal, one-woman metal black metal projects are a bit more of a rarity, but the real impressive thing is that all of the instrumentation here is performed with grim refinement and harsh fury. The vocals can take some time to digest, but keep in mind this is the inner demon of a woman being unleashed upon the black metal underground. Iron Meggido truly sounds possessed, recalling the utterly demonic screams of Hat or Pest from Gorgoroth in their primal, inhuman fury and form. As you acclimate to the vocals you will notice the utter rage, contempt, and passion delivered in this album as a whole. If you are interested in digesting an underground album that takes a few spins to really sink in, look no further than WITCHBLOOD.

DRAGONHAMMER are one of the pillars of the Italian Power Metal scene, a band that marks the history of this music from 20 years. With the new album "Second Life" they open a new chapter giving a turn to their music, that is now more powerful, more epic and technically as sublime as it was in the past. It is the evolution of the band's way of creating music, renewed in sound and formation. Among the new characteristics of this work, the addition of new vocal elements, more symphonic keyboards and more powerful guitars stand out. An album that opens up new visions for the future and wants to be the starting point of this new identity. So definitely you'll get an explosive mix of Power and Epic Metal with great Symphonic parts.

Altars' critically acclaimed debut 'Paramnesia', originally released in 2013 will finally be available again on CD format through Everlasting Spew Records! Dont miss the chance to find out were the cult and the praise originated! Enigmatic Australian Death Metal entity ALTARS rose sharply to prominence with the release of their 2013 debut 'Paramnesia' (Nuclear Winter Records/Blood Harvest). The record quickly drew widespread acclaim for the band's dynamic, forward thinking compositions - hearkening to the genre's forebears whilst carving a niche all their own. After a premature halt, in part due to a debilitating illness affecting co-founding member Cale Schmidt (vocals and bass, see also Monomakh), ALTARS entered a long period of dormancy. Guitarist Lewis Fischer joined the ranks of Melbourne outfit Ignivomous, while drummer Alan Cadman entered the fold of Adelaide's occult StarGazer. All the while, 'Paramnesia' continued to gain status as a cult classic and glimpse of the band's true potential. After eight years of silence, 2021 saw a revived ALTARS announce its resurrection with the promise of a new full-length album, and then the recruitment of Brendan Sloan (Convulsing) to fill the void on bass and vocals - cementing the band as a force to be reckoned with once more. For fans of Ulcerate, Gorguts, Portal, Dead Congregation.
Jewel case CD version with two bonus tracks from BLACK WITCHERY!
This album features the first and second official releases for BLACK WITCHERY, and the first official release for CONQUEROR.
Florida's BLACK WITCHERY let loose 7 arrows of Harsh Unholy Barbaric War Metal, including a cover of "DEMONIAC" in tribute to the mighty Canadian Ross Bay Cult BLASPHEMY. This is the bands most harsh, ugly, and evil material ever released and to many the best work produced by BLACK WITCHERY. Included on this version are the "Summoning Of Infernal Legions" 7" EP tracks from 1998!
The legendary "Anti-Christ Superiority" demo by Canada's Ross Bay Cult CONQUEROR completes this timeless allegiance. CONQUEROR delivers non-stop pure musical chaos in the form of aural artillery shells! No pretty melodies! This Is Total Fucking War!
Brace for Impact, the shredding debut album by Seattle, WA crossover thrashers Colony Drop. United in rebellion in the seedy underbelly of a technological megalopolis, the quintet strike like an assassin’s blade—with speed, precision, and style. Written in hermetic seclusion with pugilistic discipline, Brace for Impact is a testament to the songwriting-first ethos that made metal great in the first place: catchy riffs, vocal hooks, blistering solos, no bullshit. For fans of Iron Age, Power Trip, Black Breath, and High Command.
Brazilian reissue - When it comes to Progressive / Death Metal, Austria's DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA cannot go unmentioned. With "Not to be Undimensional Conscious" in 1992, the band broke new, more avant-garde paths without letting their death metal roots be forgotten. The individual songs on the album are characterized by a craziness rarely experienced in this form, but without neglecting the overall concept. With this masterpiece, Disharmonic Orchestra managed to combine avant-garde, progressive elements with death metal from the band's early phase.
Although Entrails was formed in the early 90s, thus belonging to the "First Wave of Old School Swedish Death Metal", they resurrected in the year 2008 only to become an emblematic member of what can be rightly designated as the "New Wave of Old School Swedish Death Metal" in the following years. To begin with, the bands recordings always had convincing power and ambience but there is always room for improvement, right? "An Eternal Time of Decay" however marks a welcoming depart because it represents a much needed restart, with more elaborated and original songs incorporating as well a balanced technicality without losing old-schoolness. Entrails simply don't seem to care about the newfangled ways of doing things. They love their beloved genre and simply seek to honor it; hey, if it's not broke, why try to fix it, right? This music is unapologetically old school, very much in the same vein as bands like Grave and Dismember, and yet despite being about 30+ years after those bands' inceptions, Entrails succeeds at keeping a very raw spirit intact for this genre and these tunes. Fans of the "Stockholm sound" will instantly recognize the beautifully horrendous tones of the Boss HM-2 pedal turning every note to pure sonic mush... and for us fans, we're not complaining when we refer to it as such. Something about this offshoot of Scandinavian Metal is so beautifully ugly, and this band nails it. With this album, Entrails has finally managed to find its own style, mixing the horror movie themed riffs, which permeates its songs, while also rescuing much of the essence of what Old School Swedish Death is all about: a dark ambience with punkish blasting drumming, with also buzz-saw and down tuned melodic riffs all well blended with a respectable level of technical complexity. This is one of the best Swedish Death and Death Metal albums you have ever heard. The general arrangement and the placing of the songs are adequate and it feels cohesive.
