A new, mysterious entity circling the earth's orbit on a secret space station, WOLF FORCE CORPORATION is proud to present ANVIL STRYKEZ shockingly masterful debut album, Anvil Strykez.
Hailing from Finland, the one-man ANVIL STRKEZ is a deep, densely layered study in retro futurism, equally inspired by '80s dystopian landscapes and Aviator-shaded sunsets. Although employing many of the same blips 'n' bleeps of those currently riding the synthwave bandwagon, Anvil Strykez encompasses a far wider palette of sonic possibility. Each colorfully titled song (among them: "Neon Streets," "Night Blades," "High Speed Cyborgs," "Voyager and the Birth of Time") paints a perfect portrait of its subject, and each one is uniquely distinct in its aims. Tempos can speed through the night like an 8-bit excite bike or languor like fog on a suspiciously quiet downtown dock; textures mostly twist through stained-glass synth instrumentation, but vocals and even dramatic narration can come into play, advancing the musical narrative; and despite its synthetic composition, the entirety of the album is full-bodied and driving whilst rendered in the most Technicolor tones. At seven songs in 43 minutes, ANVIL STRYKEZ' first strike creates a world unto itself, and one that invites repeated exploration and out-of-body mainlining.
Highly recommended for fans of synthwave kings Perturbator, Kavinsky, Carpenter Brut, and GosT to cinematic countrymen Nightsatan, College, Cliff Martinez (Drive and The Neon Demon), and the master himself, John Carpenter. Now, behold a new name to add to this hallowed company: ANVIL STRYKEZ!

APOKALYPTIC RAIDS' highly anticipated fifth album, The Pentagram, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
A veritable underground institution, APOKALYPTIC RAIDS have become a hallowed name among diehards the world over for one simple-but-special fact: they started as an unapologetic Hellhammer-worship band (and very early Celtic Frost, too) but have transcended their obvious influences into something that actually adds to that legendary canon rather than merely ripping it off. And, as of this year, they've been gloriously succeeding for 20 years now.
Although these Brazilian bastards have released a half-dozen EPs the last five years, it's been a far-too-long eight years since the last APOKALYPTIC RAIDS album, Vol. 4 - Phonocopia, so to say that The Pentagram is long overdue is quite the understatement. And of course, they DELIVER, which is not surprising given that they've gone back to the classic 2004-2007 lineup of Leon Manssur "Necromaniac" on guitars and vocals, Vinicius Canabarro "Hellpreacher" on the bass, and Pedro Moraes Rocha "Skullkrusher" on the drums.
"The last 10 years have been a blast here," explains Manssur. "We did extensive touring -Brazil three times, Europe twice, South America also twice, many one-off gigs - yet we stayed behind in renewing our discography. Don't get me wrong - composition went on frantically. We took notes and demoed many ideas. Sincerely, this album is just a (new) beginning, and the next one is already on the make..."
Adorned with characteristically iconic artwork courtesy of close comrade Umberto, The Pentagram is indeed a new beginning, but one that reverently adheres to APOKALYPTIC RAIDS' iron-clad past. Perhaps not surprisingly, the album's compositions span a good decade and a half - "There are songs from last year, and there are songs that were composed 10+ years ago," Manssur reveals - but as always, it sounds 666% like APOKALYPTIC RAIDS. Tons of galloping hard-chargers, lots of dirtiness, more metal attitude than is healthy, and even a moody epic in closer "The Story of Pope Joan": no fucking sellout, and no quarter given.
Lastly, there are the lyrics to The Pentagram. Concludes Manssur, "Fenriz [Darkthrone etc] once wrote we were doing more personal lyrics. And that is true, given we are old metalheads full of shit, except that we don't want to get stuck there and to preach too much. So, on this album, you will find statement after statement of 'upward' feelings - the words 'victory' and 'triumph' are recurring. Not that it could ever spoil the anger! Strange in a Hellhammer-worshiping band? Maybe, maybe not. And I love/hate playing a nameless style. It is and it is not black, death, heavy, speed, thrash, etc. It's HELL. It's HELL Music. Find that out, love it or hate it - danger is a good part of the fun."
