Agathocles – Mince Core History 1996 - 1997 - CD

A true four-piece, Portland, Oregon's Ape Machine has been called "a rock and roll band with a finger on the pulse of the 70's and their asses firmly in the present" and "real heavy-psych for the iPhone generation" that delivers "true guts and glory rock and roll." Combining psychedelic, classic and progressive rock with arena-worthy metal, bluesy stoner-rock and catchy riffs in odd signatures, Ape Machine's music carries an organic depth and warmth rarely heard since the time of rock's glorious early years (or your Dad's bad ass record collection) infused with an exceptional modern sensibility.

ENDSTILLE unleash a relentless assault of its signature, high-impact black metal in the form of its new album 'Kapitulation 2013'.
The long-running German metal powerhouse give no quarter, as guitars cut like chainsaws, drums blast relentlessly, and vocals spew torrents of black bile thick with malice. Each track washes over the listener like a relentless black wave of hostility, leaving scorched earth in its wake.
'Kapitulation 2013' is true black metal in extremis, and an ugly black bruise blossoming on the manicured face of modern metal.

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.

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.

LAMBS‡ combine black metal, sludge and post-hardcore elements to create a very personal and abrasive wall of sounds; unfiltered and raw, they are taking you on a trip into oppressive, gloomy atmospheres.

22 years after their first release and 10 years after their last album, Nebula are back.

And you’re thinking “Holy shit!” right now, you pretty much nailed it. Holy Shit is Nebula’s first LP since 2009’s Heavy Psych, and it quickly puts to rest the question that’s loomed since guitarist/vocalist Eddie Glass, bassist Tom Davies and drummer Michael Amster announced the band’s reformation in 2017.

Nebula are still Nebula.

ENCOFFINATION, the most wretched and abysmal death metal band of the last decade, return with their third full length record. "III - Hear Me, O' Death" is 60 minutes of abysmal, funereal death metal; the most destructive recorings of their career.

A must have for fans of INCANTATION, RIPPIKOULU, MORPHEUS DESCENDS, dISEMBOWELMENT.

On the aptly named 'Darkthrone Holy Darkthrone', eight Norwegian Black Metal legends pay tribute to the inspirational band that helped define the genre and pave the way for decades of destruction to come.
Originally released in 1998, the album was in honour of Darkthrone's first 10 years of existence.

The album mainly focuses on Darkthrone’s earliest works, from the blasting opener from the ‘A Blaze in the Northern Sky’ album - courtesy of Satyricon - via the experimental rendition of ‘The Pagan Winter’ from Thorns.
Closing with Immortal’s ‘To Walk the Infernal Fields’, this is a faithful and passionate tribute to an essential band given an individual touch from each act involved.

Oldschool veterans GUT are back with a bang!
For years it was quiet about GUT, the last album "The Cumback" is already 14 years old and now GUT are back with their new album "Disciples of Smut".

The sound has been massively developed. "Disciples of Smut" is a mixture of Goregrind, Bestial Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom, Noise and Drone.
Faster, slower, harder, nastier, more atmospheric and more metallic than anything you've ever known from GUT.
The following guest vocalists can be heard on the album to provide further variety: Martin Schirenc from PUNGENT STENCH, Patrick Klopf from DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA and Martin Matoušek from GUTALAX.

A new classic and a milestone in the sicko genre!

Thrash Metal band from Italy. 

Following the buzz of WEDGE's debut, the group now unveils their eagerly awaited follow-up "Killing Tongue" ...and it truly kills! Although also deeply rooted in the rock'n'roll of the late 60s & early 70s, this album clearly is a strong progression from its precursor, presenting a multicolored spectrum of sounds and more diverse songwriting. Power trio-untypical arrangements and instruments like electric sitar, clavinet and harpsichord among others are accompanying especially some of the new psychedelia soaked tunes. But of course you can expect plenty of good old fuzz guitar and Hammond organ driven material as well.

North Carolina’s Cosmic Reaper comes crashing through the speakers with their self-titled debut album.
Dripping with a classic 70’s attitude, mixing sci-fi oriented lyrics, brief but satisfying moments of prog exploration, all while keeping one foot firmly planted in modern doom, you start to get an idea of the interstellar journey that awaits.

The heaviest elements are there and are guaranteed to move planets.
The stars align and engines ignite as Cosmic Reaper claws at the soul of the genre.

3 years are gone since Tod & Teufel, the last ARROGANZ album came out.
Now the time has come to unleash a brandnew beast, entitled simply "PRIMITIV".
But no, it doesn't sound primitive or simple, here waiting 6 new songs and with no doubt ARROGANZ' best written material so far.
It would be just to easy to call it Death or blackened Death Metal...it's more than this...

I.C.O. is a powerful overcharging state, originating from the mastodontic approach to the riff rooted in a hardcore attitude and developing in something different and multiform.

The furious dynamics, the tearing vocals, the seventies italian prog reminiscences and the psychedelic aesthetic show the will to experiment on continuosly mutating song structures.
