Back in stock

One of the best kept secrets of the early 90s English death metal scene, finally available again on limited 180g LP, jewel-case CD and MC.

NECROSANCT from Brighton (UK) delivered with their second album Incarnate (1992) and the third and last album Desolate (1993) an unparalleled brutal and obscure death metal thunderstorm.
If you are into chaotic and grinding metal of death with drums that have a certain D.D. Crazy (SARCOFAGO) vibe and you like a mixture between BOLT THROWER, PESTILENCE, BLASPHEMY and NOCTURNUS, then this is definitely for you.
Originally released on Swedish label Black Mark (BATHORY), the albums by NECROSANCT unfortunately never found access to a larger public due to BM’s poor label work. Now you have the chance to catch up and get these timeless death metal classics.

Jewel-case CD, 8-page booklet

Prior to their legendary Death/Thrash masterpiece, MERCILESS cut their teeth recording two demos, Behind the Black Door and Realm of the Dark. Released in 1987 und 1988 respectively, both are naturally rather raw affairs but what they may lack in proficiency and sound quality, is made up for by unbridled ferocity and MERCILESS’ youthful enthusiasm.

These two demos are important historical relics and a peephole into times long past by one of Sweden’s pioneering bands that alongside e.g. OBSCURITY or MORBID paved the way for the Swedish (and beyond) Black- and Death Metal scene.

Jewel-case CD with 24-page booklet including an in-depth interview with Erik Wallin and many never seen before pictures.

After having caused a great stir with their self-titled debut, on Devil`s Force from 1998 the swedish savages don`t stray one inch from their path.
NIFELHEIM`s second full-length picks up the smouldering rubble from the debut and takes their unmistakable style up a notch.
Aided by a slightly fuller but still gritty production, the album is a bludgeoning beast of dirty metal infused with lethal doses of satanic insanity.
Filled to the brim with memorable songs Devil`s Force is yet again an outright success and an indispensable underground-classic.

A very in-depth interview with Tyrant and Hellbutcher highlighting the early days of the band until their last opus „Envoy Of Lucifer“ was also conducted for these reissues.
You can read parts of this interview in the corresponding releases as well you will find many unseen pictures and material from the band in the large booklets for every title.

Inspired by hatred and some of the vilest and darkest Metal of the 80s, Sweden`s most demented twins, Hellbutcher and Tyrant, came up with their only demo Unholy Death, spawned in hell in 1993.

Although the tracks immortalized on this demo are poorly recorded and rather amateurishly performed they already and unmistakenly bear some of the trademarks the band would come to be worshipped for. Hellbutcher`s insane, utterly
possessed screams and their songwriting talent and sense for melody turn the demo into a must-have not only for loyal worshippers of the band but for anyone into early SODOM, early BATHORY or TREBLINKA.

Especially for this compilation, NIFELHEIM unearthed several gems from their archive which turn this release into something truly extraordinary:
On top of the 4 songs from the demo-tape this compilation features 4 other original songs, 2 intros and 2 covers (MOTÖRHEAD and BATHORY) from the same recording-session.
In total, Unholy Death consists of 12 titles with a running time of almost 40 minutes.

After three highly acclaimed albums Envoy Of Lucifer represents the fourth and last full-length of NIFELHEIM.

Originally released in 2007, the album is certainly the most professional out of the bunch. Benefitting from a rather clean all-analogue production and many years as musicians under their belts the record, most notably, surprises with intricate arrangements, proficient guitar solos and the introduction of new elements to NIFELHEIM's sound.

Hellbutcher's and Tyrant's lifelong worship of IRON MAIDEN has never been more apparent than on Envoy Of Lucifer too.

Despite all this, the album is still 100% NIFELHEIM with all of their trademarks from previous releases intact.

Recorded in 1992, the album delivers primitive riffs, harsh vocals, and a bleak atmosphere that marks the birth of Marduk's infernal legacy. Fierce, unpolished, and uncompromising, Dark Endless stands as a primal monument to the band's origins.

Though Marduk would later evolve into one of the fastest and most intense black-metal bands, "Dark Endles"s stands as the crucial 1st chapter: a rare snapshot of the band's formative sound, a bridge between death and black metal, and an essential piece of Swedish extreme-metal history.

Uncompromising and relentlessly grim, it remains a cornerstone release for anyone exploring the origins of Marduk's reign.

Formed in Ukraine, DRUDKH have long shaped a body of work defined by atmosphere, patience, and inner exile. Their music consistently privileges emotional continuity over exposition, drawing strength from restraint and repetition.
‘Thaw’ stands as a direct continuation of the album ‘Shadow Play’, conceived during the same creative period and sharing its emotional and thematic foundation. Rather than expanding outward, the EP turns inward, presenting three compositions that function as a distilled appendix to the album’s world. ‘Thaw’ explores transition as instability, as a moment where movement begins while the surrounding landscape remains frozen. The songs unfold slowly, marked by suspended melodies, unresolved structures, and a heightened sense of stillness. Themes of memory, liminality, and fragile transformation are allowed to surface without emphasis or climax.
The EP’s reduced scope sharpens its focus, rewarding attentive listening and quiet immersion.

For fans of HATE FOREST, BURZUM, AGALLOCH.

The 1996 debut of cult classic medieval Black Metal mastery from Monaco's Godkiller.

Prog Rock / Experimental

Here is presented for the first time ever the first proper version of the “Eliogabalus”, a real masterpiece from 1990. Founded in 1987, “Devil Doll” was a an Italian-Slovenian experimental rock band. The band has gained a cult following, taking influences from gothic rock, classical and slavonic folk music, fronted by the sprechgesang of Mr. Doctor. The release has been totally remastered for LP/CD for the best listening experience with a fully restored layout.

Limited tape

Italian long-standing black metal pioneers Funeral Oration are back with their third album. Originally formed in 1989 in Taranto, Apulia, the band released their debut album Sursum Luna in 1996 on Avantgarde Music before dissolving the following year. Twenty years later, in 2017, guitarist and keyboardist Luca La Cara and singer and lyricist The Old Nick brought Funeral Oration back from the dead to release their sophomore album Eliphas Love in 2019, again via Avantgarde Music.

Five years have passed already, and the time has come for a new chapter. Antropomorte sees La Cara and The Old Nick banding with bassist Iblis (Handful Of Hate) and drummer David Folchitto (Stormlord and many others) to craft seven hymns of old-style, essential black metal from the ‘90s. As Funeral Oration describes it, Antropomorte is “a desperate litany of decadence and mystical delirium. Marcia funebre per il genere umano.”

Once again we deal with poetry, occultism and antichristian sentiment thanks to lyrics directly inspired when not directly translated from poets and artists from different ages. “Amor Obsessio” is a direct translation made by The Old Nick from ”La morte embaumée” by M. Rollinat (1883), “Cloaca Cattolica” (“Catholic Sewer”) is inspired by true events occurred in Varazze in 1907, “Il Serpente Della Genesi” (“Serpent from the Genesis”) is another translation from “Lilith” by R. de Gourmont (1892) and so is “Notturno Sepolcrale”, translated from “Ténèbres” by A. Samain (1895). “Stregheria”, on the other hand, is a direct quotation of Salvator Rosa’s “La strega”, from 1646.
