|
Arkha Sva/Black Stench
|
Split LP $16
|
AS bring one long track for the split. Not straying far from what they have shown us thus far. Melancholic and morbid...and those falsetto vox! Some parts are even LLN-esque at times. Five tracks from Black Stench. Clean sounding, depraved Finnish bm. Interesting vocal work as two vocalists alternate between tracks. Grievantee.
|
|
Armageddon
|
Kill Yourself or Die PicLP $12
|
French black metal. Limited to 333 copies on Unholy Horde Records. Includes a few bonus tracks.
|
|
Ash Pool
|
Black Bondage in the North EP $7
|
New US band that has been making some head turns. This was released after the excellent Genital Tomb demo. They have also recently released a smashing full length. Eat it up!
|
|
Ash Pool
|
The World Turns On It's Hinges LP $16
|
Debut full length from this US act that has been making waves in the underground as of late. A very solid release. Their style is different as it is hard to exactly put a finger. Defintely worth looking into, recommended. Paragon Records.
|
|
Aska/Hpothermia
|
Split EP $7
|
Another full on split of Swedish black metal. Again, one track from each band. Aska track is a GG Allin cover and the Hypothermia track features vocals by Ravenlord of Woods of Infinity.
|
|
Basilisk
|
A Joyless March Through the Cold Lands LP $15
|
Debut full length from the now defunct band, moving onto Hateful Abandon. The little that he did do with Basilisk was quite soilid though. Unjoy/Insikt.
|
|
Behexen
|
By The Blessing of Satan PicLP $23
|
Pic disc version of sold out album. Excellent Finnish black metal. An excellent job by Hammer of Damnation. One of the best pic lps I have seen.
|
|
Beherit
|
Beast of Beherit DLP $30
|
Re-issue consisting of a variety of works from this legendary Finnish band. Primitive Reaction.
|
|
Black Goat

Originally released in 1998. Black goat plays traditional thrasy black metal and featured members that went on to such bands as Weakling. Excellent cover art. NWN/Lyderhorn Records.
|
|
Black Witchery
|
Upheaval of Satanic Might LP $15
|
NWN version with gatefold jacket, 24 x 24 poster, printed innersleeve, and heavy vinyl. 100% christ butchering bestial black death attack.
|
|
Blasphemy
|
Gods of War/Blood Upon the Altar DLP $16
|
The other legendary release courtesy of NWN. This is the way it was supposed to be handled, mastering wise. Double lp at 45 rpm. Very nice camo color on the inside of the jacket. As expected, another great job done by NWN.
|
|
Bliss of Flesh
|
TodtentanzEP $7
|
After a couple of demos this EP is unleashed. Just when I was thinking the French scene was getting pretty lame this comes out. Fast, brutal, intense. Not really war metal but this is just brutal, well done. Shades of Death Records.
|
|
Blood Red Fog
|
S/T DLP $22
|
Cold melancholic Finnish black metal. Very well executed, outstanding riffs. This is one of my favorite releases out of Finland recently. A very promising band already off to a great start. The vinyl version contains 2 exclusive bonus tracks! Grievantee Productions.
|
Bone Awl
|
Undying Glare EP $7
|
This is the ep that came with the die hard edition of Meaningless Leaning Mess. Because it sold out so quick the ep has been re-pressed. This is probably Bone Awl at their most crude and rough. A harsh recording.
|
|
Bone Awl
|
Not For Our Feet LP $16
|
The sold out tape now makes an appearance on vinyl. Surprisingly, a normal jacket presentation. Good to see that this is available again. 180g vinyl.
|
|
Bone Awl
|
Meaningless Leaning Mess LP $16
|
The first full length from one of the few bright spots in the US underground. They sure do deliver on this too. Somewhat clean for Bone Awl but the production lends itself perfectly to the style. This doesn't let up much, pretty much a ripper from start to end. NWN.
|
|
Death Yell
|
Morbid Rites DLP $16
|
Crushing old-school black/death from South America. One of the last great bands from the region playing the distinctive style they are know for. NWN.
|
|
Deathchruch
|
Unsilent Hate Anthems EP $7
|
Japanese black/noise metal. Split release with Klaxon and NWN.
|
|
Drastus
|
Roars From The Old Serpent's Past LP $16
|
50minutes captivating raging and aggressive Black Metal with dark ambient soundscapes. To give a better idea, imagine a mix of Darkspace and Paysage d´Hiver, finalized with sharper accomplishment. The vinyl version has an altered lay-out and the material on it has been remixed.
|
|
Fluisterwoud
|
Langs Galg en Rad LP $16
|
Debut full legnth from these Dutchies of pounding, brutal black metal. This is the best project of the entire circle. Very nice gatefold presentation. Debemur Morti Productions.

|
Irae/InThyFlesh
|
Split EP $7
|
Two Portuguese bands, Metal Legions approved???
|
|
Kathaarian/Norns
|
Satanic Mentality EP $7
|
Two German bands on this split, Kathaarian up first. Traditional style bm but they do it with enough grit. Not too clean sounding and well executed. Norns is a perfect match stylistically for Kathaarian. Suffice to say, if you like one band you will like the other. Another solid release from WTC.
|
|
Korgonthurus
|
S/T MLP $12
|
As most know by now, this is the other band of Horna vocalist Corvus. This MLP is presented on 12" 180g vinyl. Grievantee.

Sex and Death EP $7
|
Extreme junk metal noise cult act courtesy of Hospital Productions.
|
|
Mayhemic Truth
|
R.I.P. LP $16
|
As you should know, this is the band that pre-dates Morrigan. The previous release on Sombre was not completely authorized. So here we have a right proper version on WTC.
|
|
Morrigan/Abigail
|
A Celtic/Japanese Alliance MLP $15
|
Three tracks from Morrigan on this release, makes it worth it alone. Very well done release from WTC.
|
|
Morrigan
|

Latest full length from the masters of Bathroy style viking (bm) metal. More than likely the best band in this style these days. Gatefold presentation, Undercover Records.

|

Death's Tyrrany DLP $22

After handful of releases on other labels, Uncreation’s Dawn returns under wings of Northern Heritage Records. This new album also marks new milestone in Finnish Black Metal, delivering original yet gimmick free total Black Metal unlike anyone else. Excellent riffs and compositions, anything from crushing old school underground metal into obscure haunting melodies and harmonies. Unusual vocal performance and cold studio production finish the future classic. Playing time c. 1 hour + 3 bonus live tracks!
