Excellent cover artwork courtesy of Chris Reifert wraps the whole thing up in one nice bloodstained bundle.

ABSENTIA LUNAE - Historia Nobis Assentietur CD € 10
Coming after the immense display of transcended hate of “In Umbrarum Imperii Gloria” the third album of the Italian Warlike Black Metal Squadron is a new campaign driven against the mere understanding of corporal death. The massive killing capacity on the drums has been improved by the involvement in the line-up of ex-BELPHEGOR touring member drummer Blastphemer and the dark-ambient, drone and electro genius MZ, mastermind of LOCUS MORTIS, URNA & ARCANA COELESTIA. This bloody unity has created a remarkable album for everyone into unique and personal Extreme and Hateful Black Metal .
The result is a new opus of thundering monumentality were Extreme Avantgarde Black metal is forged in a new cruel form, tightly intended to crush the wall of time. A new dimension will raise from the ashes, washed by blood and the powerful resurgence will be a new expanding gleam in the immanent void, the road back home once again discovered, an assumption through violent conquest and degradation of our modern mask.

ACHERON - The Final Conflict: Last Days Of God CD € 8
For all those of you who more or less know Acheron, this will undoubtedly be no disappointing venture. From minute one you’re being treated not only with brutal aural assault, but with some very refined and fantastic melodies as well. Black and thrash, in an undeniable death metal cloak. It by the way is being released, which I somehow think is no coincidence, on April 30, Walpurgisnacht. And not just one, exactly forty years after the founding of the Satanic Church, by Anton LaVey.

Mixing 70's psych, NWOBHM, 80's doom metal, crust, and death, this album is sure to possess even the holiest by the power of weed, spell and Satanism! Expect no typical doom metal here eerie listeners, this album isn't just a bunch of recycled Black Sabbath riffs, Acid Witch have crafted their own sound that sounds like no other band now or from the past. Their influences melt together like wax from black candles on an age-old satanic ritual. The production is warm and heavy, yet raw and filthy. All lyrics, art, layout, writing & recording was done by the band themselves, bringing back a punk D.I.Y. attitude the underground is missing nowadays. The Witch is back, and its time to get STONED! Recommended for worshippers of Witchfinder General, Trouble, Deep Purple and Winter.

ACT NOIR - Shape A New Start CD € 12
An electro-rock journey exploring human storylines where personal redemption, expiation of the past and the struggle to make amends is concerned.

The junction point between bands such as Depeche Mode, Perfect Circle, Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails.

ARCHENEMY - Violent Harm CD € 10
A complete CD featuring nothing less than two rehearsal sessions from the undisputed Death/Thrash kings! The first five-song recording that was completely unknown until the recent Hellsheadbangers release, is completely instrumental and showcases nothing but an excellent mixture of early SLAYER, POSSESSED, early DEATH, CELTIC FROST (check out those slow ultra heavy breaks!). The material was already fuckin' fast for its time. Next is the famous March 1986 five song session and it's doubtful that somebody would argue with the fact that ARCHENEMY had became at this point one of the fastest bands on this planet along with early WEHRMACHT, GENOCIDE/ REPULSION, early CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER, DEATH (late 1985 S.F. era) and INSANITY! Ltd. to 500 copies.
ARES KINGDOM - Return To Dust CD € 9
This is the first full-length album from Ares Kingdom, an American band featuring members of Order From Chaos and Vulpecula. They play thrashy death/black metal. In terms of style, this band sounds a bit like Order From Chaos, but the songwriting here is even more epic and involved. The mix of aggressive and introspective moments reminds me of early Destroyer 666, as do the inspiring lyrics, but Ares Kingdom conjure up a different sort of atmosphere. Between the chaotic riffs and meticulous song structure, it’s as if the band is constantly treading on the line between order and disorder.

ARMAGEDDA - The Final War Approaching CD € 10
This is as close to Darkthrone's ‘Under a Funeral Moon’ you’re likely to get this side of purgatory. Fast simplistic ice to the bone Black Metal with nostalgia instilled in every note. From the corpse painted figure on the black and white cover to the song title themselves, you’ll be battered back to 1994 and all the passion that surrounded a new generation of goat worshiping hordes.
The days when music sounded truly evil are long passed but Armagedda have slashed their way out of a blizzard in time and hold within the grooves of the rudimentary ‘The Final War Approaching’ a glimpse of that menacing evil in all its blood curdling forms.

ARMAGEDDA - Only True Believers CD € 10
Occult audial essence would be a sentence to use when describing the tunes of Armagedda. For those who probably care less about feeling we already have a known term - Black Metal. This Swedish duet started out in the early days of the millennium, 2000. Through the years the band has released two full-length albums and a couple of demos and EPs. With these monuments behind their back which really are representative for the black metal performed in Norway during the early 90's they now stand on solid ground.

THE ARRIVAL OF SATAN - Vexing Verses CD € 12
Morbid and perverted Black Metal of the highest order! There's no time for rest here, this album leaves you broken down and sick like a heroin addict on withdrawal. Unlike the forerunner, "Vexing Verses" appears many times more permeated with abnorm hypnotism, fully psychotic emphasis and - now defined more subtly - unexpectedly direct bitterness, whereat all these respects outpour in a misanthropically vomiting melange, whose atmospherically dense as well as profound and morbidly forced essence embraces and grasps one hauntingly.

A few years after the acclaimed & praised "Burning the blue skies black", ASIANOVA are back with a brand new MONUMENTAL opus. Rarely (or should I dare saying never ?) a dark ambient cd has encompassed so many different elements & influences: from ultra-low abysses of drones to ghostly female vocals, from ethnic percussive sequences to bright, shimmering flute melodies, from crystal-clear guitar harmonies to immersive synth-layers. A long journey through a magical world - once again, all I can say is that words alone fail in describing this album - you have to check out by yourself.....

ATROPHY - Socialized Hate CD € 10
Atrophy's first full-length 'Socialized Hate' is easily some of the highest quality 80's Thrash of all time. The band were ahead of their time in some ways, but even when seemingly embracing mediocrity on certain tracks, no true metalhead can resist headbanging at maximum velocity when tracks like 'Preacher, Preacher', 'Beer Bong', or the ruthless title track hit the stereo. Reissue featuring bonus demos and videoclip.

AUDIOPAIN - Contagious MCD € 9
First release from these Norwegian masters of thrash. "...this is 666% earscrushing thrash torpedo! Incredibly strong and uncompromising start for an unknown band from Norway (known mostly with its black metal militant acts and murderous music), which later should enter the leader circle of the real norwegian metal (metal!) underground. The sound is harsh, grim, melting; the riffs follow the great old 80's tradition and remind of bands like Kreator, Destruction, Voivod, which speaks only best for Audiopain - 'inspire yourself by the true ones and become a true one!'." (Metal Archives)
AUDIOPAIN - 1986 MCD € 9
Second cult release from the oldschool thrashers! "Although based in 80's style old school tradition, minute traces of their versatile musical past shine through pinholes, only to be extinguished by the predominating blakkness... Take a deep breath, this is a metal expression of the human condition from it's ancient beginnings to it's end..in full digital technicolor. Overall, not a one dull moment from start to finish." (Scarlet Metal)
AUDIOPAIN - Revel In Descration MCD € 9
Third release from Norwegian Überthrashers Audiopain. Essential. "This is great blackthrash in the vein of Aura Noir and Vesen, on this day this is more unique, there are hardly bands playing this way anymore. This almost brings the listener into a nostalgic mood. An old fashioned way of blackmetal, served with a nice and sloppy thrash dressing. It takes some time to get into, but when this CD has pounded itself in your brain, it won't ever get out." (Archaic Magazine)
AUDIOPAIN - The Switch To Turn Off Mankind CD € 12
Latest album from one of Norway’s premier thrash acts. Mandatory! "Audiopain stays true to their own old school thrash. Compared to the previous album "The switch to turn of mankind" is a bit more accessable and less difficult to get into. I would almost use the word 'catchy'. On high pace six neckbraking thrash anthems are fired upon us and within almost 27 minutes you'll be able to experience a real life-time thrash orgasm! For me personally these new tracks are by far the best Audiopain tracks ever recorded!"
