Norwegian duo, Darkthrone, return with their first new studio material since 2013's triumphant The Underground Resistance.
Fenriz and Nocturno Culto once more show their mastery of 'the riff', demonstrating why Darkthrone remain one of the most respected and enduring acts in the history of extreme Metal.
An eclectic mix of free-spirited 1980's fuelled blackened Heavy Metal executed in Darkthrone's trademark raw and organic style, Arctic Thunder was recorded and produced by the band, with the sessions conducted at Darkthrone's old rehearsal unit, The Bomb Shelter.
With themes based around hate, contempt, and the inner mind and soul, Arctic Thunder retains a grim atmosphere throughout the album's 8 tracks.

After their early foray into the world consciousness with SOULSIDE JOURNEY they delivered the unholy trinity of A BLAZE IN THE NORTHERN SKY, UNDER A FUNERAL MOON and TRANSILVANIAN HUNGER.
Censorship and heavy handed political correctness forced the band from Peaceville and they made a succession of albums for the fledgling Moonfog label.
Something was always missing from this equation though, and soon the band members yearned to go home and made it clear.
However, time heals all wounds, and as soon as the band became free they planned their return to the forefront of the Metal existence with Peaceville.
THE CULT IS ALIVE is the fetid, rotting, rocking first fruits of Darkthrone's second coming at Peaceville.
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.
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!
This camel is certainly not a lone voice in the wilderness. Especially since LONELY KAMEL indeed sound like a desert, but in truth come from Norway. And obviously traditional Hard Rock can be produced quite exquisitely between fjords and endless forests, which sound nice, meaty and dry. On their fourth album the Norwegians act in the tension between Hard Rock from the seventies, Stoner Rock, Blues, Psychedelic and a dash of Doom.
Nine tracks with everything the genre has to offer: from the rough, punky title track, which has a certain punk attitude over extended jams to compact four-minute earwigs. And thus is clear: LONELY KAMEL clearly belong to the spearhead of the European Rocker scene.

Scottish Death Metallers, Scordatura, have returned with their third studio album entitled ‘Mass Failure’. The latest offering showcases nine new blistering tracks of pure, rigorous Death Metal. ‘Mass Failure’ was built over the strongest elements made for the group’s sophomore album, ‘Self-Created Abyss’. The outcome is best defined as the band’s greatest album to date.
Poland’s grandmasters of radical grindcore, ANTIGAMA, have completed the seventh full-length installation of their cutting edge arsenal, “The Insolent”.
Seeing the band further along their ongoing path of progression, “The Insolent” contains another intriguing alloy of their futuristic grind savagery heavily diversified with cosmic exploration and harsh dissonance through ten new tracks of unorthodox, rapid forward-thinking metal.
Engineered and mixed by Pawel Grabowski and the band, mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed), the album features a very special guest appearance of the legend of Polish electronic music scene, Władysław “Gudonis” Komendarek, and bears cover art designed by Bartek Rogalewicz.

Gandhi's Gunn (now Isaak) sophomore album The Longer The Beard, The Harder The Sound, clearly revealed a band ready to transcending their core influences and explore more visionary and psychedelic territories.
We’re talking: churning riffs, elephantine grooves and raging growls, seasoned to perfection with lysergic flights, epic jams and even mesmerizing quieter passages, before being served al dente for consumption by our most discerning stoner rock patrons.
Original version on Black Vinyl. The album got later repressed by US label Small Stone Recordings with the band's new name: ISAAK!
Sweden masters of thrashing grindcore are back again with a new EP of 13 batshit crazy new tracks! 11 Live tracks included as bonus as well!
Formed in Växjö in 1992, Birdflesh is one of the craziest and long lasting grindcore acts around. Their take on grindcore is filled with strong thrashy influences, wacky lyrics and a funny atmosphere overall. Over the years the band released a huge amount of music, consisting in 4 full lenght albums and countless Demos, Splits and EPs, but being so prolific has never been an issue for Birdflesh as their material was, and is, always above the bar.
There is nothing in this world like Birdflesh!
For fans of Macabre, Impetigo, Ghoul, Repulsion.
With Dead Planet Oliveri has taken a band once considered a side project and turned it into a full-fledged rock and roll powerhouse.
As has been his trademark when he had written songs with Kyuss or QOTSA, this album just oozes with punk rock ethos.
Combined with the stoner rock influences that he helped create, this album is a study in excess and self-indulgence. And that is exactly what makes it so damn good.
Available on Black or White(ltd 400) Vinyl

In 2010, after 17 years of hiatus, progressive aggressive forefathers ATHEIST reemerged more massive than ever. 'Jupiter' is a landmark return to earth of sonically gargantuan proportions.
In the late 80’s and early 90’s, this band, alongside fellow Floridians DEATH and CYNIC, handcrafted the subgenre that spawned bands such as MESHUGGAH, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and MUDVAYNE. With 'Jupiter', ATHEIST perfected it immensely.
