Orange County /Southern California based Death Metal freaks CREMATORY STENCH. A young but rotten band, formed 2014 to conjure a blend of morbid sounds and feelings in the style of L.A.'s own Sadistic Intent and the morbid recordings of Morgoth.
Slowly yet surely, CROSS VAULT have built a small-yet-stellar canon of releases that are extremely personal in nature and absolutely poignant in execution and effect. After two acclaimed cult albums - Spectres of Revocable Loss and The All-Consuming in 2014 and 2015, respectively - CROSS VAULT joined with IRON BONEHEAD for the release of a special mini-album, Miles to Take, released in late 2016. Although "just" two songs, this epic short-length was a transitional record in more ways than one: the quintet had solidified its lineup after two members had graduated from "session" status, and the sum result suitably proved stunning, showing how far they could stretch their Viking doom sound whilst keeping it fiercely focused. CROSS VAULT were on the march...

In 1991, Dark Opera was formed in Lodz, Poland, the very same city in which the band’s compatriots of similar ilk in Pandemonium had united approximately two years earlier. Dark Opera’s first year of existence was plagued by several lineup changes, but it stabilized later that year when the band began to write its own songs and played its first live gig in Lomza. The following April, Dark Opera recorded its first demo, "The Day of Pariah", at Ariadna Studio in Lodz. Originally, this cassette was self-released, but the band was later signed by Carnage Records, who released a second iteration of the tape with alternate artwork. In 1993, the band added a second guitarist and recorded its first and only album, "Calling the Legend", in April of that same year. Like the demo that had preceded it, the album was released by another Polish label, Baron Records, who made it available on cassette format only. Like the aforementioned Pandemonium, Dark Opera’s music was reminiscent of the great Samael and others like Alastis and Taranis, but it also incorporated a somewhat greater influence from both death and doom metal. Nuclear War Now! is proud to be the first to reissue both Dark Opera recordings on vinyl and thus continue its neverending objective of rekindling the great fires once set and then left unattended in the most obscure caverns of the underground.
DEATCULT's classic 2012 demo, originally on tape, now released by Iron Bonehead on a killer LP. Truly depraved, Swiss black/death for devotees of the foulest...
DEATHRAID was a bunch of thrashers before being a thrash band. DEATHRAID was attitude and liefstyle before being a music style. One DEATHRAID live gig was banned for obscenity. DEATHRAID was outlawed for theft and housebreaking. DEATHRAID changed 3 drummers. DEATHRAID aimed to be the sickest and vilest band in the area. DEATHRAID was influenced by everything extreme and underground. The song ?Lunatic Souls Domain? is short for LSD. DEATHRAID used to spend the cash earnt from gigs into drugs and alcohol, before playing.
The Finnish Death Metal machine from DECAYING strikes back! Since 2010 these 4 guys are beeing active and have left only destroyed landscapes on their musical journey away from the Finnish lakes on their 10 releases so far.
The 5th full lenght studio album "Shells Will Fall" will be released in a lovely vinyl edition via Defying Danger Records. On "Shells Will Fall" DECAYING once again offer an massive album, atmospherically & lyrics primarily geared towards historical wars and destruction. Who can imagine that a band combines the mood of HAIL OF BULLETS or ASPHYX with less doom influence, but with more classic Swedish Death Metal, knows roughly how the Finns sound. But also GRAVE like tones or vocals in the vein of BOLT THROWER are not that far from in the 8 tracks of DECAYING.
The Finnish Death Metal horde DECAYING unleash their fourth album entitled 'To Cross The Line'. Like the previous albums, 'To Cross The Line' is about war, destruction and its consequences. You can expect 8 new blood-licking songs full of heaviness, depression, melody and catchiness. A musical feast for fans of ASPHYX, BOLT THROWER or HAIL OF BULLETS.
The thematically perfectly realized artwork was created by the italian artist Roberto Toderico (he also created amazing art for SINISTER, PESTILENCE, MEFISTO etc.).
Japan's DEFILED have delivered brutal death metal for over 13 years, and their new album 'Towards Inevitable Ruin' honors that solemn tradition. The band buck modern convention and deliver an album devoid of fake edits, effects, and unnatural sounds. Simply stated, 'Towards Inevitable Ruin' is the most authentic and raw representation of DEFILED as they deliver their deathly assault live.

Re-release of the Demo from 1992 of this outstanding Swedish Death Metal band that practiced a Death Metal more in the vein of first ATHEIST and MORBID ANGEL (especially in the vocals) earlier than other Swedish Death Metals on that time.
The double vinyl version of ESSENZ's masterpiece "KVIITIIVZ - Beschwörung des Unaussprechlichen" is out now! The vinyl comes in a noble 350g gatefold cover with UV-spot and contains a thick inlay. Excellent Doom / Black with members of DROWNED and THE RUINS OF BEVERAST.
Amongst wild structures embroiled in an endless fight of domination, amongst dissolving forms pretending to know right and wrong, trying to justify their own being. In between this fuss you can find a certain figure that doesn?t care about all this, a figure that is and does not pretend to be. Complex in it?s simplicity it satisfies itself. "Schattenbringer" does not bring truth but all it?s different kinds. Constructs made of contrast.
A unique, nearly-nameless entity from Sweden, FOR create sepulchral black/death metal from uniquely-located, surely-nameless depths. Their Kundaz debut album appeared seemingly out of nowhere in early 2013, and now arrives the Blakaz Asko Hertô 12" MLP via IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS. Devoted to the Germanic black witch Gullveig and her Thursian bloodline of ravenous hordes of wolves and werewolves, the concept of FOR 's music is based upon the sacred bindrune, Ulfhamir, and pursues to invoke the black wolf-spirit within.
"Abyss of Wrathful Deities" is GRAVE MIASMA´s fifth release, the latest in a 19-year sonic exploration of the
transcendental essence and nature of death. Nine tracks of pounding, dark Death Metal await the listener, rooted in the adoration of mysterious Tibetan burial rites and shamanic passages to other worlds.
Trading a little of the cavernous atmospheres of previous releases for the traditional Metal currency of speed and aggression, "Abyss of Wrathful Deities" still sounds immediately and inimitably like GRAVE MIASMA. The album marks a third collaboration with Jamie Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios (Paradise Lost, Primordial, Vltimas, Angel Witch), and a step further along the path of expansive and dynamic production characteristic of the London-based band’s ascent towards the vanguard of the contemporary Death Metal movement.
Experience the hellish descent towards otherworldly chasms through a thousand shades of death!
Pure old-school Death Metal from these both Catalonian bands. Limited to 300 copies, black vinyl. Released by Bloody Productions. Comes with booklet. 1 new song per band, no fillers!
