In 2001 Death Metal had been in steady decline for many years. The genre once gloriously notorious for stillbirthing some of the vilest filth imaginable had been watered down by harmlessness and mediocrity.
It was exactly at this time that MURDER SQUAD breathed much-needed foul air into a scene so desperately lacking dirt and danger.
Spawned by members of some of the most revered Swedish Death Metal bands (ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER, MERCILESS etc.) and driven by their shared passion for intoxication and, above all, American Death Metal band AUTOPSY, the four Swedes would go on to vomit forth two full-lengths and one EP before withdrawing into the nasty hole they crawled out from.
Again, adorned by a disgustingly beautiful cover by the late Timo Ketola, MURDER SQUAD’s second album, Ravenous Murderous, from 2003 still has AUTOPSY-worship written all over it. But while the predecessor was literally made up of riffs that were almost identical or at least very similar to the ones found in AUTOPSY tracks, Ravenous Murderous feels more like an unreleased AUTOPSY album than a different band paying tribute to AUTOPSY. This time around MURDER SQUAD have even been supported in the studio by legendary Chris Reifert of AUTOPSY himself contributing vocals, guitars and drums. These joined efforts resulted in a very dark Death Metal album coming with pleasantly politically incorrect lyrics certain to upset today’s moral police.
Ravenous Murderous is available as LP in three colors, jewel-case CD, MC and digital.
Jewel-case CD with 28-page booklet including a long new interview with all band members done by Olivier “Zoltar” Badin.

The Thuringian band, originally formed in 1993 under a different name and known as IMPENDING DOOM since 1995 – throughout its ten years of activity – gained recognition far beyond Germany’s borders through its expertly crafted blend of various Metal styles as evidenced by its numerous releases – including three studio albums – as well as more than 200 concerts played at home and abroad.
Although 25 years have already passed since the release of their third and final album, the interest in IMPENDING DOOM’s legacy still seems undiminished.
At long last, Darkness Shall Rise Productions has taken on this chapter of German Metal history in its tried-and-tested manner. No expense or effort has been spared in reissuing (almost) the entire body of IMPENDING DOOM’s work – comprising the releases from the pre-album phase and the three albums, including bonus material.
These definitive editions, crafted with great attention to detail, present the tracks with significantly improved sound quality whilst also leaving nothing to be desired in terms of layout and design ensuring that both long-standing fans and those who are only just discovering IMPENDING DOOM will be equally delighted.
There is no doubt that IMPENDING DOOM’s third and final album Apocalypse III – The Manifested Purgatorium is their most aggressive and brutal release to date. Unlike many other bands, who become increasingly watered-down and softer over the course of their careers in the hope of greater success, IMPENDING DOOM’s development seems to have followed exactly the opposite path. From album to album, the intensity and directness have increased. On Apocalypse III in particular, the band seem to have cast aside all unnecessary frills in order to distil the very essence of their sound in a completely unbridled and unfiltered manner.
Tracks such as “Hatespawn”, “Obscure funeral” and “Revocation of creation” – to name but a few – captivate not only with their raw intensity, delivered with the pedal to the metal and at a superb technical level, but also with the stylistic originality – a blend of Black, Thrash and Death metal elements – that has been characteristic of IMPENDING DOOM since their first demo. Apocalypse III is the band’s definitive statement not only because it’s their final album but because it showcases the horde in its most developed and vicious form.
Including tons of unseen pictures and a new interview with all band-members.

Their second album Signum of Hate – released only one year after its predecessor – represented a huge improvement over their debut – and not just in terms of sound.
With tracks such as “Demon-(Mon)Archy”, “Land of burning coffins” and “Sumerian awakening” – which, as is typical of IMPENDING DOOM, defied clear categorisation due to their stylistic complexity – the band presented songs that, in their efficient conciseness, were highly catchy and had real staying power.
Whilst keyboards featured to a not inconsiderable extent on earlier compositions, on Signum of Hate they have been reduced to a minimum and used only sparingly to enhance the atmosphere. Undoubtedly, the overall sound of the album is dominated by lightning-fast, Thrash-style guitar riffs with a high degree of recognisability.
Overall, the band opted for a more direct compositional approach that gets straight to the point; thus the album exhibits a significantly heightened level of intensity and aggression.

“Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus” is the fifth satanic symphony by the Swedish black metal overlords and was originally put out in 2009. Once again produced by longtime sound master Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy) it was a more traditional masterpiece offering blasting tempo and hymn-like melodies to equal parts. Accompanied by five fantastic live tracks recoded in Buenos Aires (for the first time on audio CD) spanning the band's entire history it furthermore features remastered sound, new layouts, liner notes and unseen photos. A timeless black metal classic!

Two dreaded entities from the Finnish Satanic Black Metal underground are now united on this split CD. AZAZEL finally return after fourteen years of coma to curse all hoyness, rape the virgins and crucify christ again; all in the name of Satanic Black Metal.

NORDJEVEL formed in Askim, Norway in 2015 around vocalist Doedsadmiral, drawing straight from Scandinavian black metal's established ranks. Three albums in, the addition of guitarist Destructhor (ex-Morbid Angel, Myrkskog, Zyklon) pushed the band from a melodic, folk-inflected debut toward a denser, death-informed attack.
'Damnous', the band's fourth full-length and first release for Season of Mist Underground Activists, carries Doedsadmiral's lyrics of war, death, anti-Christianity and Norse mythology across a set that moves between blistering black metal, death metal weight and slower, melodic passages sung in both Norwegian and English. Guitars, bass and guest vocals were tracked at Studio Nyhagen with engineer Kjartan Hesthagen, and the album was mixed and mastered at Studio Fredman by Fredrik Nordström, who also handled the band's previous album 'Gnavhòl'. Guest musicians round out the record's atmosphere without diluting its intent, appearing across select tracks including a closing cover.
'Damnous' reads as the most fully assembled statement in a catalogue built from the start on a close reading of Norwegian landscape and folklore.

Bonjour Tristesse - Disaster Triumphant

BONJOUR TRISTESSE plays atmospheric black metal, that is rooted in contempt for industrial civilization, grief for this dying planet we call our home and reverence for the natural world. The band weaves a symphony of sadness, wrath, alienation and inner emptiness with a sense of strength that arises from unabashed resilience and standing alone in the face of adversity.

Sagas' and 'Sagas Ambient' on 2 CDs in deluxe sewnbound hardcover book (17,5 x 17,5cm) with bone white foil, containing 88 pages incl, lyrics, background information, drawings and photos.
1st edition 2,000 copies worldwide.

HEILUNG are known around the world for mending the spiritual gap between modern life and our historical roots. Over the past decade, the ritual collective have brought amplified history to major festivals, the Billboard charts and Hollywood films. Now, with 'Sagas', they fully immerse themselves in the realm of video games.
'Sagas' holds a special place in HEILUNG’s discography. It collects recordings that core members Maria Franz, Kai Uwe Faust and Christopher Juul created in collaboration with Ninja Theory for Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga. Taken together, these 11 tracks reveal a more cinematic and environmental side to their unmistakable sound. Performed live during The Game Awards, the entrancing “Seidh” invokes the Norse mythology that guides Senua on her quest through 9th century Iceland.
While it captures the epic journey of Hellblade II, 'Sagas' takes on a life of its own. Franz, Faust and Juul returned home from a 10-day trip across Iceland so inspired by the brute force of nature that they recorded more tracks than the ones that were included in the game. Awakened by rumbling drums and fiery chanting, the previously unheard “Slagt” prophesizes the coming apocalypse with the unstoppable force of a volcano. And yet, even when faced with the inevitable end of the world as we know it, HEILUNG’s music offers a space for healing. Lead single “Laeknisgaldr” remedies an affliction through the simple act of repetition, like water washing over stone.
With 'Sagas', HEILUNG return from the land of Hellblade with immersive new sounds.

For fans of WARDUNA, EIVØR, SOWULO, NYTT LAND.
