Pessimist – Holdout - CD

Repress of CBT's debut album, originally released in 1997, with an all new artwork
A Must Have for every Pornogrind fan!

"SANGUINARY REVELATIONS" is 10 songs and 35 minutes of pure "BLOOD & GUTS DEATH METAL" in the vein of IMPETIGO, AUTOPSY, INCANTATION, TERRORIZER, etc.
As a special bonus, SURGIKILL has recorded the song "PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES", which was the FINAL song that IMPETIGO ever worked on back in the early 90's but never recorded because they broke up in 1993.
Stevo wrote the lyrics in 1991 and he finally got to use them for SURGIKILL, and now after 2 decades you can finally hear this legendary HORROR DEATH METAL song!

“Die Healing” featuring original SAINT VITUS vocalist Scott Reagers. This is essential doom!!!!

Cult black metal duo INQUISITION explodes from the underground with their newest full-length 'Obscure Verses For The Multiverse'. The album's ten paeans to the occult are at once hostile, hypnotic, and bombastic.
Chainsaw riffs carve violently to the forefront, while ominous vocals croak odes to the infinite and satanic alike. As tracks such as "Infinite Interstellar Genocide", "Darkness Flows Towards Unseen Horizons", the title track, and more prove, 'Obscure Verses...' is INQUISITION's finest hour yet and trumpets their arrival as the new kings of darkness.

On the fringe of chaos, in the Year of the Pandemic, the Cannabeast has awoken!!
BONGZILLA is back with a new full length album, 16 years since their last record.
These Pioneers of Weed Metal would like to present “WEEDSCONSIN” to the universe. An album written by the three long standing original members of Bongzilla - Muleboy (bass, vocals), Spanky (guitar), and Magma (drums).
The six brand new tracks will blow your mind! In a single instant you are contaminated by the classic Weed-Infected sounds the band is known for, while also finding new elements mixed into the bowl. In the unique piece that is Weedsconsin, Bongzilla delivers heavy doses of Crushing Stoner Doom and Psychedelic Space Rock that sets it apart from earlier material.

Weedsconsin is dedicated to the memory of John Hopkins.

A hammered 4-stroke beat like a twin cylinder engine running on idle, a roaring guitar riff revving up the rpms of the iron-built motorcycle-inspired band, then the fresh and insisting breeze of a Farfisa organ whispering 'let's ride' and a heavy bass greasing up the reliable crank and rods of that authentic rock'n'roll machine, and there goes, ladies and gents, the mighty Lords Of Altamont combo!

Riding hard on backyard-built, loud pipes and rigid frame undestructible raw choppers, the band left their garage enlivened by the year of 1969, right at the crossroads of the Summer of Love and the birth of punk rock.

MISERY INDEX return furiously with their brand new album, 'Rituals of Power'! With their sixth full-length, the American icons of hard hitting brutality display the strength of maturity grown out of the experience gained as a relentless touring machine. The general trend of their continuous evolution to incorporate less core elements and move towards classic death metal finds a new high water mark.

“Sinfonías del Terror Ciego” is a master-crafted putrid Grinding Death Metal ode to Machetazo’s fellow countryman De Ossorio’s 70’s Euro-Horror cult film trilogy about the Blind Dead Templars.
First repress ever for this 2005 cult piece of work.
Machetazo and Throne decided to arrange a very limited repress of just 100 copies on colored vinyl and 200 copies on black vinyl, worldwide.
This new pressing contains revamped artwork, including all new liner notes from Dave Wagner (Evoken), Pierre De Palmas (Braindead Mag.) and Doc Holocausto (Evilspeak Mag.).

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.

Packaged in right-mounted 4-panel Digipak with folded single sided insert for Agathocles in right pocket.
Limited to 1000 copies.

“Dissipatio HC” is the third effort from Italy’s hardest-hitting power trio Lleroy. Hailing from the central wasteland of the country they deliver a tight yet brutal pummeling assault filled with uptempo, syncopated power beats, razor-sharp guitar riffing and over saturated vocals – the ideal soundtrack for a trainwreck headed over a kindergarten.

Money is power. This is truth and the theme of VULTURE INDUSTRIES’ twisted new album, “The Tower”.
The Norwegians’ new full-length explores dark musical vistas and lyrics within a unique mixture of progressive, experimental, extreme and even foreboding symphonic elements. With a wealth of creativity and the ability to shift gears smoothly in the blink of an eye, VULTURE INDUSTRIES bend, twist, and shape their songs into living entities embodying the width and breadth of human emotion.

Mitochondrial Sun is NIKLAS SUNDIN (Dark Tranquillity) solo project!
Largely instrumental and featuring everything from Dead Can Dance-like tribal atmospheres to futuristic sci-fi soundscapes.
Among the guest musicians appearing are Dark Tranquillity’s Martin Brändström and renowned cello player Annika Blomfeldt.

Dark Thrones & Black Flags is equal parts Fenriz and Nocturno Culto.
The duo share song-writing and vocal duties throughout the release (with some surprising results) and further perfect the art of the riff. A deceptive mastery of composition is also evident on possibly their strongest release of recent times, an album of stripped down, dirty metal.
Recorded and produced by the band themselves at Necrohell II studios, Norway, Dark Thrones & Black Flags is an exercise in pushing the conventions of the narrow perception of what should make black metal, becoming more timeless and faithful to its spirit than most could ever wish for in the process.
