SPECIAL RECORD STORE DAY RELEASE MARKING FORTY YEARS SINCE MAYHEM’S DEBUT LIVE PERFORMANCE IN SKI, NORWAY.
PRESENTED ON LIMITED OXBLOOD RED VINYL WITH SIDE B ETCHING.
Mayhem, the Norwegian pioneers responsible for invigorating a global metal scene alongside originators such as Venom, Celtic Frost & Bathory, formed in 1984 & with a long history of tragedy, intrigue & infamy has become a truly revered legend of black metal over the subsequent four decades. A large part of the band’s lasting legacy was established in the late 80’s & early 90’s, when original members Euronymous (Guitar) & Necrobutcher (Bass) welcomed Hellhammer on drums & Dead on vocals, to help shape a new era of darkness, becoming highly influential leaders of the genre in the process; an accolade which has endured to this day.
Revisiting the very earliest incarnation of the band & marking 40 years since Mayhem’s cult debut performance, this special limited Record Store Day vinyl release features Mayhem’s April 1985 gig in Ski, Norway, where the band carve their way through cover versions of classic Venom & Celtic Frost in this rare delight for fans.
This Record Store Day edition of ‘Live in Ski’ is presented on limited oxblood red vinyl and features an etching on Side B.
4 years after the sheer onslaught which was "Sumerian Promises", Sijjin return with their 2nd opus entitled "Helljjin Combat".
The German/Basque trio has delved into depths absolute, focusing their lens on the most antediluvian variety of Death Metal while bringing up a derivative of evil Thrash with utmost evil intent.
The album conjures its own life of satanic imagery, diabolical debauchery and biblical fatalism. Sijjin follow the firm path they once took but permanently turn to the south of heaven.
Limited edition of 333 copies on sea blue/black marble vinyl, incl. gatefold cover, logo sticker and download.
199 copies on white/sea blue marble vinyl, incl. gatefold cover, logo sticker and download
199 copies on sea blue/grey galaxy vinyl, incl. gatefold cover, logo sticker and download
ROBUST performs intoxicating Black Metal with pure Will, passion and Dedication. This album might possibly be the record you never knew you needed, an album so unpredictable and maddening that you don’t know wether you just heard the most beautiful piece of art, or an atrocity of dimensions unknown. In an age where everything's ‘perfect’; where production and musicianship has reached levels unheard of due to modern technology, providing platforms for even the most average musician to excel, this album is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise soulless scene.
ROBUST delivers a raw and harsh, yet elegant and masterfully composed album, with indescribable twists and turns. Without too much explanation, I would recommend this to fans of SVEST , AKITSA and the three first GORGOROTH albums. That pretty much sums it up.
Collector's Edition in 6-panel Digipack, limited to 500 copies.
From the shadowed ruins of fallen kingdoms, the one man army known as Bloody Valkyria ascends to new heights with its second album, entitled "In Our Home, Across The Fog". This chapter in the project's discography entwines the epic lore of Elden Ring with the aggressive beauty of extreme Metal.

With an inception going back to 2019, Defacement rapidly gained momentum within the underground realms with two full-length records marked by an intense and experimental take on death and black metal, Deviant (2019) and self-titled Defacement (2021). Three long years after their latest output, the international band flares its cryptic head yet again with an epic tome of twisted and gnarly emanations, an immersive pathway into the void entitled Duality.
Defacement's third studio record is challenging and confrontational in its invocation of primal forces lying dormant in the world below. Inspired by the unfathomable, shadowy corners of human existence, Defacement hatches a penetrating sonic journey, unpredictable in its own dynamic, ever-changing form. Intricate and complex riffing lay as a basis for dexterous melodies, making Duality the most complete and mature among the band’s outputs. The cold and experimental interludes entangled between tracks, serve as halting moments that further the conceptuality of Duality and broaden the gist of the main songs.
The tremendous rhythmic section, a complex and throbbing pulse of drumming fierceness and serpentine bass playing, is superiorly captured by the dynamic and organic production, a vigorous sound that evokes both an oppressive aura and wistful solemnity. Gabriele Gramaglia (Cosmic Putrefaction, Vertebra Atlantis) and Simon Da Silva (Aversio Humanitatis) took care respectively of the mixing and mastering, finely crafting the details of Defacement’s new album.
