Regular version on black vinyl with gatefold jacket and A2 poster. Japan?s ABIGAIL has been a flagship band in the NWN! camp since the beginning of the label?s existence. In the more than 20 years of ABIGAIL?s existence the bands has undergone a noticeable stylistic evolution from sinister Yakuza Black Metal to the band?s later period of sexualcoholic Street Metal Thrash. Up until the mid-1990s, ABIGAIL was known exclusively for its Black Metal sound and ranked alongside SABBAT and SIGH among Japan?s most evil exports.

The rotten seeds of ABYSSUS were planted years ago via the "Monarch to the Kingdom of the Dead" EP (2012), the "Summon the Dead" EP (2014) and the splits with Nocturnal Vomit (2013), Morbider (2014) and Slaktgrav (2014), so it was about damn time to see them go the full-length route.

Third full length album, released in a limited edition of 500 double vinyls with gatefold cover. Different artwork than on the Cd version. Epic, timeless metal all the way through. Black Metal inspired by early SAMAEL but with a huge epic touch.
This is the second full-length release from Anael, a German band playing atmospheric black metal. The sound on this album reminds me of Greek greats like Necromantia -- crisp and clear, yet heavily atmospheric. The vocals are mostly snarled, though there's some clean singing now and again, very tastefully done. Anael's last album was full-on Samael worship, but on this record they've branched out into a sound of their own. There's still plenty of Samael in their slow, deliberate pacing and evil riffing, but there's a lot more variety here.
Contorted and anguished. Blissed-out and serene. Spasmodic impulses forcing irregular lurches and twitches. There are infinite shades and varieties of death, and yet its certainty and mystery terrify the human soul to its core. Anatomia breathes in the foul stench produced by this final state of human existence and spews it back at the listener. The band?s Death Doom sound captures perfectly the cold immobile grip of mortal expiration.
From the very depths of the German underground, ARCHAIC THORN is anouncing the imminent release of their debut EP called "In Desolate Magnificence" through UNHOLY PROPHECIES.

In 2009 ARES KINGDOM began working out a cover of ?Die By Power? by Slaughter Lord. Showing his support for this endeavor, former Slaughter Lord drummer, Steve Hughes, sent Ares Kingdom the previously unpublished lyrics for the track.

The tracks selected for inclusion on ?Veneration? reveal the ancestral blood that led to the development of Ares Kingdom?s style.

Spain's BALMOG have been creating horrifying Black Metal since 2003, and this is their third album. You´ll get complex but ?Vacvvm? is what you would want to hear from a black metal album. It?s immersed in darkness, drenched in evil, and walks in the shadows until it can approach you and stray you from the path of good.

This album is nothing but an outstanding manifest of the most pure, evil, dark Blackened Death Metal coming of Southamerican lands.
