Violent Hammer – Riders Of The Wasteland - LP

On the back of last year's critically acclaimed "Amber & Gold" EP, Alunah return with "Violet Hour", the new album and first for Heavy Psych Sounds.
"Violet Hour" sees the energy of Alunah's dark, doom tinged hard rock being cranked up with the arrival of guitarist Dean Ashton (bass, Diamond Head) alongside the soaring vocals of Sian Greenaway and rhythmic foundation of Dan Burchmore and Jake Mason. Recorded at the historic Welsh Foel Studio and produced by Chris Fielding (Conan, Electric Wizard, Primordial) the 8 tracks on display show the fruits of a productive early 2019 with a searing combination of melodies, riffs and focused writing.

While there are many bands that traverse and explore the same terrain as heavy titans Neurosis and Isis, very few of those bands embrace these influences and yet do not feel like imitators.

POSTVORTA, the pulverizing sextet from Ravenna, Italy are ones who incorporate a similar style as their influences, but move themselves and the listener through stunning corridors of sound.

When it comes to Gothic Metal, most people think of Bands like The Gathering, Theatre of Tragedy, Tristania, Leaves' Eyes etc... Of course it is the genre with a lot of female-fronted outfits, but be honest:

Could it be, that the idea of Gothic-Metal is misunderstood?
But in the case of Draconian you get exactly this: Gothic Metal by the way it is meant to be!
A Death/Doom Hybrid with real "Beauty and the beast" moments.
You can hear the desperation, not only hear, you can feel it!

Founded in 2006 in Weil am Rhein, Germany, "Holdout" is Pessimist's third album.

Fueled by Hate is the third studio album by American death metal band Jungle Rot. It was originally released 2004.
This album contains 12 groovy oldschool death metal tracks in the intersection of Six Feet Under, Suffocation and even some Scandinavian death metal bands such as Dismember or Obituary.
Primitive, groovy guitar riffs, raw foot work on the drums and deep guttural grunt vocals are the ingredients for the vicious brutality and aggression of Jungle Rot. Jungle Rot is occasionally accused of releasing the same album over and over again. But hey, who cares? Let´s headbang to 30 minutes of traditional, mainly midpaced tracks and enjoy the very good production.

The 2022 reissue comes as 6-panel DigiPak in a limited edition of 500 copies.

Originally released in 1996, an absolute cult album for all thrash-death maniacs that consecrated Distruzione as one of the best extreme underground bands of '90s, now available in a remastered version.

Corbeaux is about noise-rock / post-hardcore music. Dark, living matter with metal bits. From the west of France.
Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Amaury Sauvé (As We Draw, Birds in Row…) and Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna, Abraham, Coilguns)

One of the most important Psych - Acid Rock albums of the new millenium. The Dzjenghis Khan self-titled debut album was released in 2007 by the Dutch indipendent label Motorwolf. The San Francisco based band Dzjenghis Khan featured bassist Carson Binks (also in Wild Eyes and Saviours), drummer Tommy Tomson and guitarist Lane Rider. This record reflects the musical scene of that era and it's still a raw acid rock pearl! Heavy Psych Sounds Records is so proud to bring back to the current audience a piece of real Acid Rock. Dzjenghis Khan was one of the first bands to bring back the “psych sound”, in a time where there was not real audience, we can say they've been pioneers after the pioneers!

Dutch lethal quartet returns with first new album in 15 years! 14 high speed and extreme grindcore songs in the vein of S.O.B., DISCORDANCE AXIS, HERESY, INSECT WARFARE, MAGRUDERGRIND, WORMROT.

Surge Assault from Italy plays Black/Thrash Metal with some different old-school influences, remaining faithful to the ''speed & raw'' tradition. "Lust & Misery" is the first and only full-length ever released by the band.

Second album of Czech electro cyber techno goregrind killers + bonus track

Mountain Legacy is an album exploring something fundamental to humanity: ISOLATION.
The illusion of silence, which is a natural non-existing concept, is perfectly described by synthetized sounds and noises of the newly acquired band member Claudio Rocchetti (In Zaire). These sounds are missing on the first self-titled release of Deadsmoke, so now the old tracks have been enriched and new ones have been composed providing a consistent psych-disturbed synthetized sound. Six brand new tracks featuring deep guitar fuzz and growling bass take the listener on a journey through the woods, alternating lightly groovy rhythms with sludge-doom cadences.

Zeit is an Italian band blending Converge-like influences with hints of Swedish Death Metal, especially in the use of guitars. Highly technical Post Hardcore and heavy riffs.
