With just four compilation tracks and one 7" EP issued in the early 1980s, Hollow Ground did have a rather low profile at the time of the original New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. However, their first and only single »Flying High« (issued on the collectable Guardian Records label) became an instant collector's item. Today copies with the scarce picture sleeve fetch rather insane prices. Before the release of the single Hollow Ground had recorded the four songs 'Rock On', 'Fight With The Devil', 'Flying High' and 'The Holy One' for the Guardian compilation album entitled »Roksnax«. Hollow Ground carried on to record more material (such as 'Promised Land', 'Easy Action', 'Rock To Love' and 'Loser') but an album deal was not on the cards. As a result singer Glenn Coates left to join local rivals Fist. As a result, Hollow Ground split up in mid-1981. With 21 songs the Hollow Ground anthology album on High Roller Records contains virtually everything the band has ever recorded professionally. In comparism to some of the more conservative-sounding New Wave Of British Heavy Metal acts at the time (for example Fist), Hollow Ground did show a lot of promise. Guitarist Martin Metcalf knows why: “I think we had a wider range of influences as opposed to just heavy bands, we took things from all over the rock spectrum. We were like sponges soaking everything up, from the funk of Aerosmith, the hard-rock of Montrose to the proginess of Rush.” The song 'Fight With The Devil' was chosen by Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich for his »N.W.O.B.H.M. '79 Revisited« compilation released in 1990. Hollow Ground have recently played two re-union gigs: 2007 at Headbangers Open Air in Northern Germany and in late February 2014 at Newcastle's own Brofest.

All 14 songs on this compilation were recorded by the first line-up of DEATH SS which included Steve Sylvester on vocals, Paul Chain on guitar and keyboards, Claud Galley on rhythm guitar - Danny Hughes on bass and Tommy hand Chaste on drums From track 1 to track 7 are mostly unreleased home demo versions including the original intros They are therefore (apart from Terror) not the same versions that appeared on The Story of Death SS, bootleg released by Minotauro in 1987 From the 8th track onwards they are recorded in the studio and are therefore recorded at a higher levelExcept for songs 11 and 12 which are live versions, the only ones existing of that line-up (there was one with Santhis Ghoram on vocals, sung phonetically in 1984 and present on The Story or those remade by DEATH SS in 1995 with Steve Sylvester but played by other musicians, present on Horror Music) Another peculiarity is that this is the only disc that collects all the existing songs recorded by this line-up! Each track was then remastered and personally optimised by Steve Sylvester! The photos accompanying the artwork are all INEDITED and come from Steve Sylvester's private collection The front cover reproduces exactly that of the 1981 demo tape of the same name (only TWO copies exist)!

Comes in gatefold vinyl sized sleeve.
Included free 8 page full colour collectors booklet.

The debut release from this sinister entity that is known as Nocturnal Deviancy!
"Eternity's Cold Embrace" is a desolate path towards an undying flame, as the fading relics of what once was returns to dirt and mold.
Melancholic, triumphant and evil Black Metal from the diabolical mind of Vollmond (Flagellant & Feeble Deity).
CD limited to 200 copies.

For over three decades Black Funeral has channeled currents of pure darkness, and this new invocation is one of their most powerful and sinister albums to date.
This sonic offering to the Jinn is raw, vampyric & occult Black Metal that is laced with dark ambient passages and ritual soundscapes.

Recorded over the cursed first half of 2024, "Flames of Samūm" is dedicated to the Mulūk al-Arḍīya, the Seven Earthly Jinn Kings, each attributed to both the seven days of the week and the planets.
The Mulūk al-Arḍīya possess authority and infernal power that is both malignant and beneficial. The essence of the Earthly Kings is reflective and perhaps emanated from the Unseen and Imaginal world that is both real and not real, existing as a liminal power so beholden to the invisible, scorching winds and fire of Samūm.

This album is an act of Siḥr (Black Magick) that honours and summons with each track, aligned with the King and the planetary association therein. This album is a musical offering to those of the fires of Samūm, the divinely infernal Jinn that may guide or devour the minds and souls of those who open the liminal gates of the subconscious. Within this album, specific elements of lyrical and musical representation, offers subtle acts of Siḥr to summon the vampyric Jinn such as the ‘Ifrit, Ummu Sibyan (one Arabic name of Lilith) who is Tabi’ah, flesh hungry Ghūls and others of the abyssic legions.

APTORIAN DEMON hail from Trondheim, Norway. They were founded by vocalist, guitarist and sole member Storhetsvanviddets Mester, who has also been known as Ghâsh. APTORIAN DEMON embody black metal in its original bleak and raw form. Their mastermind is neither apologetic about this, nor about the hateful, misanthropic, and satanic content. This is what black metal is about. Storhetsvanviddets Mester is a lone wolf, who does not want to be associated with previous bands or the Nidrosian scene. APTORIAN DEMON have previously released the EP "Angst, jammer og fortvilelse" in 2005 and the debut album "Libertus" (2012), which gained the band a dedicated following in the underground. Naturally, there are no social media outlets. APTORIAN DEMON have deigned the time to be right for their sophomore full-length. Entitled "Liv tar slutt" ('Life Ends'), this album keeps every 'promise' of a strong black metal statement made by the previous releases and will delight dark souls with its cold, harsh, and razor-edged songs. This is Norwegian black metal! Take it or leave it!

This live-album was performed and captured amidst  the red woods of Krasnoyarsk, Siberia.
