SADISTIC GRIMNESS - Asteni CD € 8
From bleak and funeral emptiness comes forth SADISTIC GRIMNESS. Do you feel this rotten stench from beyond the grave? This suffocating, blinding and devouring stench of desolation and death.... It surrounds you and gets through you, infecting your soul with ancient fear and bloodfreezing terror. Where graves burst wide open and legions of the dead arise and prowl the earth in their morbid lust for FLESH, where endless horizons are flooded with blood and gore, where you can no longer distinguish life from death or day from night, stands SADISTIC GRIMNESS. Drawing influences from the most ancient of Death Metal Cults and the darkest of Black Metal Hordes, they represent the malevolent force of real Death Metal; wicked and grim, atrocious and painful.

SALUTE - Above the Law CD € 9
Eight slabs of undiluted heavy metal rock ‘n’ roll fuelled by cheap alcohol and easy women. Musical influence comes from the old guard - Motorhead, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Discharge, Thin Lizzy - injected into a band that has totally found their sound, with fresh energy and a unique approach. Above the Law is a true diamond in the ocean of meaningless, stale shit that manages to pass as Heavy Metal these days. Outlaw rock ‘n’ roll, Hellish grooves and Iron fists! BE WARNED!!

SALUTE - The Underground CD € 10
From the dark damp cellars of Bristol, so deep in 'The Underground that the graffiti on the dungeon walls is still in Latin, these disciples of 'Dr. Faust stir a vile brew of HELLBASTARD, CELTIC FROST and AXEGRINDER. Seasoned with a healthy dose of MOTÖRHEAD warts, their alcohol fueled brewtality should convince every follower of Thrash and Crust alike.
SAMUS - Desengano CD € 6
Desengano is a surreal landscape of mutated freaked-rock comprised of lumbering sludge riffs that contort into tape/turntable manipulations amidst melodious keyboards and sustained guitar tones/drones. Ranging from the crushing droning doom-laden EARTH-esque guitar thud of "The Happy Sultan", and the bountiful melodies that playfully flow under the sugary electronica and plunderphonic jazz of "Super Orthopedic Caravan", to the expansive Ennio Morricone-influenced slide guitar ambience found in "Who's Pumping Estrada" and the wall reverbating drones and tape oscillating backwash that drifts into the no-wave dissonance of "Bone Ape Tit", SAMUS create a cohesive, multi dimensional soundtrack comprised of heavy duty psychedelia, avant-rock experimentalism, and opium-den cartoon soundtracks.
Sample
SANCTUS NEX - Aurelia CD € 9
The Coldness can be manifested into different forms in its timeless truth. U.K. based Sanctus Nex are the modern black metal wanderers, their harmonic and disharmonic tunes a current of perception. A trip into usual and unusual shadings starts there, where Black metal is a constant recall but a departure point to develop a new visionary and evocative journey. The traditional black metal instruments are just a gateway to depart from the mortal, the vision is luckily, far beyond… Sanctus Nex are the feverish mood of introspection of Deathspell Omega detached from the Judeo-Christian paradigm, walking a different occult path, drenched into the heritage of their island: in pursuit of Albion.

SARATH - Siste Indre CD € 12
SARATH is a one-man force from Trondheim, Norway, formed in 2001. The first demo was unleashed in 2003 and a much praised 7" EP entitled "Husk, du skal dø" was released in 2005. SARATH also contributed to the Tormenting Legends II compilation (Blut & Eisen, 2006) with the exclusive track 'Lengsel'. Besides a very busy schedule as producer and sound-technician in his own studio, SARATH has spent the last 5 years slowly but steadily recording the first full-length now unleased in a co-operation between the two underground labels Apocalyptic Empire Records and Terratur Possessions. What you are served is slow, repetative and claustrophobic Black Metal with and all over desperate feeling of total despair and solitude. The music and lyrics is strangulating, hypnotic and with an atmosphere so dense, you can touch it. Enter the world of SARATH...It's a disturbing journey into the darkness between life and death...

SAURON (USA) - Satanic Assassins CD € 8
The 'Lords Of Slaughter And Warfare' are at it again and their sophmore campaign demonstrates they mean business. Carried by a chainsaw bass that has been sorely missing in Metal since the glorious days of SLAUGHTER and VOIVOD (though ORDER FROM CHAOS did come close...) and driven by relentless drums, blistering guitar and roaring vocals this most basic of all possible band line-ups rips through the 7 songs of this album like a Demonic 'Possession'. If you like the dark, chaotic and haunting side of Thrash Metal you can't go wrong here.

SEKTARISM - L'Offrande MCD € 6
L'offrande ("The Offering") is one of hell a depressing piece of musical work, so heavy, tormented, evil and crushing that it sends half the Doom bands packing their bags. The very, very slow pace of sheer heaviness with an atmosphere of doom (literally) almost makes you wish you were dead. The song is almost instrumental, with a few undecipherable low growls (sometimes barely audible) that really don't sound like words. Later in the song the screams "Satan! Satan!" (pronounced in French) are almost bone-chilling, mixing emotions of despair, torment and pure evil. There's nothing remotely flashy in terms of instruments here - it's slow (this needed to be pointed out again), minimalistic, raw, monotonous (in a good way, if you like the style), and basically just sounds like an eternal fall into the abyss of hell. Almost disturbing, certainly twisted and hard to take if you're not in the mood - you'll want to reach for the stop button, but will end up playing it over and over instead. "Satanic Doom" is more like it, and it's damn effective. " 4.25/5 - The Metal Crypt

SHUB NIGGURATH - Horror Creatures CD € 10
This is a collection of Shub Niggurath's material before they would put out a full length; with live material, a re-mastered demo and two EPs to boast. Horror Creatures, titled after their first demo, displays nearly all material from their early days, down to the grisly bone, and is a great way to catch the band in their energetic beginning. Shub Niggurath played a chunky form of death metal with some aspects of grind. Horror Creatures is awash with bass, distortion, and has one of those hazy, spawned-in-a-sewer production jobs that makes the music come alive with a feeling of unwashable filthiness and impending doom.

SILVA NIGRA - Epocha CD € 6
Epocha is the fourth album of Czech Black Metal band Silva Nigra. The music h as shifted into more technical, but still very catchy melodic musical passages. Each song lives its own life and doesn’t imitate any other musical element from the past. Individual songs are unique because of their Thrash Metal features and lively guitar riffs, resulting in a very compelling atmosphere. The lyrics deal with various topics and avoid usual kitschy themes. They are formed into several units that gained inspiration from philosophy, duality, decadence, own dark poetry and phantastic realism. Vocals are in the mother tongue of the band – english translations can be found in the booklet. Intro, outro and intermezzo were created by Swedish ambient-industrial project Object 4.

SKITLIV - Skandinavisk Misantropi CD € 10
SKITLIV is a collaboration of Maniac (ex-Mayhem) and Sweden's Kvarforth (Shining, etc), with some other dudes. Skandinavisk Misantropi is the first full length offering, and it exceeded all expectations. The style of Skitliv consists of painful, crawling doom metal which is lathered in Maniac's black rasp, with injections of noise and whatever else the band can use to weave their tales of depression and futility. The purpose of this album is to make the listener uncomfortable, and it succeeds to that extent, with each track another piece of a suicidal puzzle. Skandinavisk Misantropi is quite the focused effort, an elegy of controlled chaos that is fucked up and ready to die. Guest appearances by Gaahl, Attila and David Tibet (CURRENT 93).

SKULLFLOWER - IIIrd Gatekeeper CD € 9
A reissue of Skullflower's acclaimed 1992 album IIIrd Gatekeeper, featuring the lineup of Matthew Bower (guitar), Stuart Dennison (drums and vocals), and Anthony DiFranco (bass). IIIrd Gatekeeper is an immensely heavy album that was originally released on HeadDirt, the label run by Justin Broadrick of Godflesh/Jesu/Final fame back in the early 90's, and featured Skullflower at their heaviest, grinding out slow, sludgy riffs and crushing, almost industrial rhythms amid a tempest of psychedelic guitar noise and dense sheets of feedback - easily the most crushing, rock-based music that Skullflower ever produced. IIIrd Gatekeeper served up a skulldozing dose of post-industrial dirge rock that sat comfortably next to Godflesh, Swans, and Ramleh in terms of dark, druggy, hypnotic lumbering heaviness. This is one of our favorite albums ever at Crucial Blast, and we are presenting this reissue with new liner notes, a new package design that retains all of the original artwork from the HeadDirt release, and a remastering job courtesy of Scott Hull at Visceral Sound.

SKULLFLOWER - Orange Canyon Mind CD € 9
The new full length from the legendary UK free/drone/psych outfit Skullflower, featuring some of the most searing, synapse scorching droneworks that Matthew Bower (the man behind Skullflower, as well as Sunroof!, Total, and The Hototogisu) has unleashed to date, in our humble opinion. Orange Canyon Mind is the follow up to 2002's awesome Exquisite Fucking Boredom (Tumult Records), and continues that albums utter mutation of stoned out riffs pulled taffy-like into eternity/oblivion and star-rupturing blasts of sonic white light. Over the 8 tracks/60 minute running time, Bower and cohorts build massive horizontal drones and melodic supernovas. Superb, beautiful, brain melting stuff.

The Smaug sound should appeal to fans of get-on-your-horse-and-ride Metal a la Iron Maiden and Slough Feg, as well as to devotees of the Doom sounds of bands like Pale Divine and Trouble. Smaug also features members of Aberrant and Tab. Raise your horns in the glory of Metal!

SOUVENIR'S YOUNG AMERICA - An Ocean Without Water CD € 8
Lush, shimmering guitar ambience and hypnotic, propulsive instrumental heaviness wind through the dusty highways and burnt twilight skies of "An Ocean Without Water," the sophomore album from Richmond's Souvenir's Young America. Divided into six flowing movements, "An Ocean Without Water" is filled with intensely beautiful melodies that drift on lonesome harmonica strains and sparkling, celestial electronics, shot through with mystic, western slide guitar, passages of crushing angular riffage, rolling tribal drumming, and transcendent blues. Through their intricate song arrangements and moody textures, Souvenir's Young America has created an epic, emotional narrative. The sound draws from the collected DNA of forebears like Popul Vuh, Earth, Labradford, and Neurosis, yet they form a powerfully evocative instrumental language all of their own. Features collaborations with Aughra (Magic Bullet Records) and Nick Forte (Sublight Records, ex Rorschach / Beautiful Skin).

Playing a form of lysergic and almost entirely instrumental rock that draws its DNA from the sounds of classic Krautrock, prog, long-form improvisation and metallic heaviness, the band has attracted a fervent and dedicated following over the past decade around albums on established independant labels such as Relapse Records and Strange Attractors Audio House. Subarachnoid Space have also continued to bring their ominous, ethereal riffage, soaring fx-laden guitars and pulsating rhythmic propulsion on the road with numerous tours and festival appearances, including multiple stints across the U.S., three appearances at the legendary psych-rock festival Terrastock, and a tour of Japan, and has performed alongside such a variety of artists as Sonic Youth, Acid Mothers Temple, Khanate, Wolf Eyes, YOB, Sunn O))), Danava, Red Sparowes,Boris, Lightning Bolt, These Arms Are Snakes, Master Musicians Of Bukkake, and Ludicra.

SUN OF THE BLIND - Skullreader CD € 10
"Skullreader" was created by Zhaaral (better known or his militancy in the obscure DARKSPACE collective) in the c(o)urse of a 3 years traumatic voyage and going through several moments of doubt, defeat and discomfort. This work goes over a mere "black metal / gothic metal / dark metal" filing, although all of them afterall forged Zhaaral' songwriting at the origins and a bit of all of them you can hear in Skullreader (even doom metal at times). In any case what really leaves surprisingly open-mouthed is the incredible guitar riffing shaping the spine of this album, a rare quality to find in a record in the era of "massive wall-breaking" productions. Zhaaral's dark but crystal guitar playing, at times obsessive at times very varied, remind us of Tiamat's "Astral Sleep".

This is the 4th album by one of Norway’s few elite black metal acts still out there. This is the follow-up to their highly acclaimed “Sadness and wrath” album (Released through Soulseller Records in 2007), and it shows the absolute excellence these 3 Norsemen can produce! This is the perfect balance of tight riffs, the greatest melodies and the most powerful blastbeats. THIS IS REAL NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL! Recorded at the infamous Akkerhaugen Lydstudio (Emperor, Zyklon, Red Harvest)

SVARTSINN - Devouring Consciousness CD € 6
Imagine a crossing between Amon and Lustmord, enriched with some dreadful melodies here and there. An orgy of bass frequencies, an apocalypse of drones, a black resounding monolith. Those who are in love with gloomy ambiences won't be put to bread and water. Experience the depths, if you're brave enough...

SWARMS - The Silver Hour CD € 10
Experimental / ambient soundscapes from the minds of Kim Sølve (Trine + Kim Design), Petter Berntsen (Audiopain, Virus) etc. Predominantly expressing atmosphere and psychic disturbance through the bass spectrum, but interleaved with nervous treble threads, one is immediately put in mind of mysterious caverns and endlessly deep, dark, dripping dungeons, where indeterminate sounds, originally tiny but subsequently amplified to go echoing infinitely through the lightless dark, forever reverberate in the depths where the only audiences are chittering, eyeless, troglodytic denizens. Comes in a beatifully designed origami pack.

Those who are in love with gloomy ambiences won't be put to bread and water. Experience the depths, if you're brave enough... Ltd. 500

SYRACUS - Sleeping Thermostats MCD € 6
One of the finest acts to come out of Norway in recent years and possibly the release we’re most proud of yet! Syracus are like a glimpse into the prog past set in a pop/rock presence. Influenced by the likes of Radiohead, Anekdoten, Seigmen, Pink Floyd etc., this five-piece delivers some of the most amazing songs you'll ever hear. Ltd. 1000

SYRACUS - The Easy Way Out CD € 10
Finally the debut full-length of this convention-defying quintet is available. Sadly it also marks the end of one of the greatest alternative rock bands ever. 'The Easy Way Out' expands on the previous EPs, and is as unpredictable and exciting as it is infectious. Ltd. 1000
