BLEED
Bleed

Bleed’s introductory EP ‘Somebody’s Closer’ was initially self-released by the band through digital platforms in 2021. Despite no physical release at the time, the EP, invoking late 90s / early 00’s era alt rock / metal gained the Dallas, Texas-based band a lotta buzz with its gauzy distortion balancing tension and atmosphere, and via several mutual connections came to the attention of 20 Buck Spin. The label issued vinyl and cassette editions in 2022 bringing Bleed’s music to new audiences and wider attention. Since that time the anticipation for the band’s debut full length has built to fever pitch, and at long last it arrives as Spring heads into Summer.  

Bleed’s self-titled LP maintains the melodic heaviness and tight song structures of the EP, while diving headfirst into the oceanic haze, pushing their sound into territory more immersive, relentless and hypnotically lush. Guitars surge and sway in stacked waves of gravitational angst, overdriven rhythms eccentrically pulsing beneath, and guitarist / singer Ryan Hughes’s voice floating in and out, sometimes distant and detached, sometimes cracked open with desperation. Lyrics move in fragments, alluding to themes of deep internal struggle, coping mechanisms and hurting those you love most. It’s music that doesn’t so much demand attention as seeps straight into the bloodstream, the kind of album that endlessly loops in the back of the mind at 3 a.m. 

Bold strides are taken right outta the gate to make the authenticity of Bleed’s universe more expansive in its inspirations and ambitions. There’s a confidence to the way Bleed let’s these songs unfold, they make their impact immediate and have no need to persist longer than necessary. The result is an album that feels massive yet intimate, brutal yet beautiful, familiar yet singular. It doesn’t simply leave an impression, it lingers, reverberating long after the final notes have faded.

VILE APPARITION
Malignity

Australian death metal fiends Vile Apparition are back with their second album. Proudly released by Me Saco Un Ojo Records and Dark Descent records.

Mechanically precise drumming violence and crazed riffs fire you into an onslaught of malevolent extremity with intense, guttural vocals spewing through the mix. The ruthless aggression shown from the very beginning will transport you back to the brutality of the 90s with a modern twist showcasing only the most gruesomely barbaric ideas from the band. Warped ideas contort into truly abysmal visions of gore and depravity with only the most malignant of sounds making the cut. Along with the groove-laden riffing, technical solos fit the unwavering madness to give some impressive shred flair to the monstrous hammering assault.

If pounding madness and malicious technical flourishes is your thing then Vile Apparition have you covered. This is totally cranked brutality and unwavering musicianship taken to its logical and perverse conclusion. A torturous blend of brutal death metal that takes no prisoners and gives no quarter. Find yourself holding your breath from the unending ruthless musical mayhem (or perhaps the stench of offal in the air). “Malignity” delivers what the title promises, and your brain matter will be splattered by the end of a single listen of this record.

BLACK FUNERAL
Empire Of Blood (Bloodred Vinyl)

From the forbidden depths of vampiric sorcery emerges Black Funeral's most haunting conjuration, "Empire of Blood" - a spectral tapestry woven from the arcane mysteries of the undead nobility. This otherworldly opus channels the ancient magicks that flow through immortal veins, where centuries-old rituals bind the living to eternal darkness. Black Funeral is one of the originators of "Vampyric Black Metal" from the early to mid 1990's!
Each track unfolds like an incantation from blood-stained grimoires, driven by haunting tremolo melodies that spiral through the shadows like phantoms in midnight procession. The album's ethereal atmosphere conjures visions of pale aristocrats performing forbidden rites in candlelit chambers, their empire sustained not by conquest but by the dark arts that transcend mortal understanding.
Serpentine riffs weave through the silence like whispered spells, while hypnotic rhythms pulse with the heartbeat of ancient, vampyric. The production's spectral clarity preserves each nuance of the supernatural - every note suspended in the liminal space between life and death, each vocal invocation rising from lips that have tasted eternity.
Melancholic passages drift through the compositions like mist through gothic arches, evoking the profound loneliness of immortal existence. These moments of haunting beauty reveal the tragic splendor of creatures who have traded their souls for dominion over the night.
"Empire of Blood" stands as Black Funeral's most atmospheric testament - a sonic séance that channels the vampiric essence through centuries of accumulated darkness. This is music for the witching hour, when the veil grows thin and the ancient magicks of the blood-sworn nobility stir in their eternal slumber.

Re-issue, 200x heavyweight transparent red 12" (180g) in a black poly-lined innersleeve, gatefold jacket, full-color printed on 350g carton, coated paper (semi-gloss), all assembled in a plastic overbag.

PEST
Eternal nightmares

Pest returns with one last full length. Big was the shock when co-founder Mrok passed away in 2011, but inspiration was found a decade after his death and rather than searching for a new drummer, founder Scum honoured the legacy of Pest and Mrok and took up drums himself again. Combined with his and Atax’ trademark sounding riffs, as well as input from new member Brandt, the new album “Eternal nightmares” sounds really as if no time has passed since. The maniacal vocals from Mr. Blasphemy and Atax still cuts through your bones. The storm of riffs are trance-inducing yet ultra aggressive. All with the classic medieval weirdness to the sound that was already present on their demo and first albums. For Pest, innovation means retrogression. The new album still fully recorded and mixed by the band themselves in the rehearsal room, just as 25 years ago. It doesn’t get more authentic than this.

GARDE
Harbinger of revenge and war (CD)

While “Viking metal” has largely lost its original meaning in these days of Eurofest silliness, GARDE stride forth across tundra both tangible and spiritual to restore the honour, valour, and pride central to the subgenre. Thusly aptly titled, Harbinger of revenge and war is Viking Berserkr Metal for fans of Scald, Mayhemic Truth, Norden, Countess, and of course the pioneering trilogy of Bathory.

Lead vocals and choirs by Dan Capp. Original cover painting by Wesley Dewanckel. Additional guitar solos by JS.

SEASON OF THE DEAD
Zombie Chronicles Vol.1

Zombie Chronicles Vol. 1 is the first full-length chapter of Season of The Dead, a macabre journey into the heart of horror-infused death metal. Conceived as a blood-soaked anthology, the album unfolds like a collection of short horror stories, each track inspired by the grotesque imagery and suffocating atmosphere of cult splatter cinema.

From the suffocating dread of City of the Living Dead to the visceral gore of Zombie 2 and the raw savagery of Cannibal HolocaustZombie Chronicles Vol. 1 channels the atmosphere of lost VHS nightmares, translating them into riffs, growls, and pounding rhythms. The result is a record that feels like a horror film soundtrack possessed by the rotten spirit of Necrophagia, Mortician, and Fulci.

Across its running time, the album delivers a relentless assault of death metal brutality, layered with cinematic tension and ritualistic atmospheres. Dual vocal performances, crushing basslines, and necro-sounding guitar work create a soundscape where zombies, decay, and gore come to life in audio form.

KATLA - Módurástin
Second hand

KATLA
Módurástin

Katla is an Icelandic band featuring ex-Sólstafir drummer and visual artist Guðmundur Óli Pálmason and singer/multi-instrumentalist Einar Thorberg Guðmundsson (Fortíð, Potentiam). Named in tribute to one of Iceland's greatest active volcanos, Katla creates powerful, panoramic music where shimmering guitars, crushing melodies and atmospheric density meet dark, entrancing power.

Katla's debut album, "Móðurástin", shines a spotlight on the band's hook-heavy, horizon-stretching sound. The lyrics tell tales of living in a country of contrasts; a land where fire and ice co-exist and dark winters are offset by the summer's midnight sun. Iceland: a country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture.
"Móðurástin", Icelandic for (a) Mother's Love, might seem like a strange title for a metal album, but Katla dares to be different. What on Earth is stronger than a mother's love? Nothing. Not hate, not lust, not greed.

ARSTIDIR (ICE)
Hvel

Originally released in 2015, ÁRSTÍÐIR's third album 'Hvel' offers atmospheric, hauntingly beautiful songs that take elements of folk, rock, and classical music among other styles, which are arranged into new patterns that have invited comparison with RADIOHEAD, SIMON & GARFUNKEL, PENTANGLE, ÓLAFUR ARNALDS, and most of all SIGUR RÓS. The latter happens perhaps inevitably due to superficial similarities as ÁRSTÍÐIR often sing in their native Icelandic tongue and use acoustic instruments extensively.
