2024 REISSUE

Digipak CD edition.

A 50-minute work broken into nine songs but unified as one winding, widescreen composition, Venenare shows KRATER at the height of their all-too-considerable powers, a blinding and windswept vortex of sumptuous songcraft and passionate execution. Motifs slice and dice, blast and race with a grace that's simply stunning, as melodic counterplay runs riot with a proud 'n' powerful assertion of classic metal sensibility. KRATER's contours here undeniably exude a sleek and urban quality, but with abstracted hints of their pagan past subtly woven in to the soundfield, the result is staunchly second-wave black metal bravely recast for the 21st century. Venenare is thus timeless, yet forward-thinking all the same.

After rearing their doom-laden head from the primordial waters in 2022 with the release of "The Exuviae of Gods - Part I", Mournful Congregation continue the parting of the waters with "The Exuviae of Gods - Part II".
Two brand new compositions, plus a brand new re-recording of 1995's "Head's Bowed", featured on their second demo tape.
Continuing the thematics presented on Part I, artwork is once again handled by Karmazid, bringing the monadic into the dyadic.
Thus perfecting the natural order of primordial principles....

Previously only included in the "Hoelle und vernichtung" discography vinyl boxset (now completely sold out) this total cult session is finally back, for the first time on CD! Raw, punishing Black/Thrash from one of Germany's oldest and most influential hordes of darkness and evil! A blood-drenching set featuring all their classic anthems in the crudest form plus some hidden gems that haven't been included on their demos and album.
Quoting Uli Hildenbrand himself: "the best complete recording of a POISON Live set in decent quality (sound and performance-wise), done in our rehearsal room but with somewhat better equipment and -of course- remastered in the most effective way by F.O.A.D. and yours truly! It was recorded in November 1986 in preparation of our first (and only) studio session planned for the end of December, when we were still trying to figure out which of the songs we would eventually record in the studio. Some oft he latest material was still „work in progress“, especially „Sphynx“ wich I think was rehearsed here for the first time ever… On the other hand, pretty much all of the trax we’d already recorded for the previous 3 demos are featured here in vastly superior versions. Listen to „Angel of Satan“ or „Legions of Hell“ AND there is that one song that we never recorded before or again – although it’s probably one of our best (in retrospect) – check out „Zombie Dance“ [continues in the CD booklet] ..."

OBSIDYEN is a Black Metal band founded in Albi (81) in 2019.
Their first musical attempts revolved around biblical mythologies, before slowly shifting towards the « Ancient Astronaut Theory », popularized by Erich von Däniken in 1968.
According to this theory, humanity has been visited by non-human beings in the past.These traumatic anthropological and technological encounters led to the creation of polytheistic religions and myths in antiquity.
OBSIDYEN transcribes these subversive subjects through massive and powerful riffs, coupled with liturgical cold melodies, resulting in an atmospheric harmony that adventures the listener into the lands of the past, the stars and beyond.
The band released their first self-produced album, "ANTEDILUVIAN SCRIPTUM" in 2020, with subjects including Mesopotamian and Sumerian cultures, the Old Testament or the
myth of Atlantis.
Very soon after the release of this first album, Omega has created a mythological trilogy based on the "Cult of the Serpent" around the world.
The first episode is called "LITANY OF IAH", and takes place in
ancient Egypt.

Unaware Prediction, the new three track EP from Italian artist Howling in the Fog, features an acoustic guitar based instrumental, the sixteen minute title track and an additional bonus track. The complete release wraps a shroud of cold melancholy around the listener for more than 28 minutes. Superb work from a promising young artist!

High Roller Records, slipcase In a way, it is quite sensational to see another MORBID SAINT album released at this point in time, meaning more than 30 years after their second LP “Destruction System” was recorded but not finished, only to be officially published recently. However, the prospect of delivering new music in their own unique death/thrash metal style was one of the main reasons why the core members reunited in 2010 in the first place. During its initial run from 1984 to ’94, the band wasn’t even close to having the final word, especially with regards to their seminal first record “Spectrum of Death” (1990). “Swallowed By Hell” was born from a remote creative exchange, with ideas being bounced back and forth between all members to create a ten-track barrage of extreme metal like it’s become rare these days – utterly punishing yet musically sophisticated, pushing limits but not for its own sake, and topped off by an artwork from the iconic Ed Repka (Death, Megadeth). Recorded at The Belle City Sound Company by Chris Djuricic (Num Skull, Disinter) with finishing touches put on at Chernobyl Studios by Scott Elliott, “Swallowed By Hell” reeks of the old school but plants its feet firmly on contemporary ground. “This is the best line-up we could ask for,” guitarist and co-founder Jim Fergades says. “We now welcome all opportunities, and depending on which ones come our way, you never know what may happen…” Andreas Schiffmann Morbid Saint – Swallowed By Hell Track listing: 01] Rise From The Ashes 02] Swallowed By Hell 03] Bloody Floors 04] Burn Pit 05] Fear Incarnate 06] Fuck Them All 07] Bleed Them Dry 08] Pine Tuxedo 09] Killer Instinct 10] Psychosis Line-up: Pat Lind - vocals Jim Fergades - guitar Jay Visser - guitar Bob Zabel - bass DJ Bagemehl - drums
