PESTILENCE - Live at Eibergen
Pre order

PESTILENCE
Live at Eibergen

One month after the recordings of ‘Mallevs Maleficarvm’ and 2 months before the actual release date, Pestilence played at one of the biggest metal festivals in The Netherlands: Metal Attack Festival. This is a particularly valuable document of Pestilence during the transition from their early thrash-influenced death metal sound towards the style heard on Malleus Maleficarum, released later in 1988. It also captures an important moment in the Dutch underground metal scene. Pestilence performed a cover of Infernal Majesty's Night of the Living Dead. Infernal Majesty had been scheduled to play but unfortunately could not attend. The other bands that played that day were: Kreator, Death Angel, Holy Moses, Disabuse, Thanatos and Mandator. Featuring the classic line up of: Patrick Mameli (vocals/guitar), Randy Meinhard (guitar), Martin van Drunen (bass/ vocals) and Marco Foddis (drums). Carefully restored and remastered from the original VHS files by Achilleas Kalantzis at Suncord Audiolab, Greece (Vio Lence, Varathron, Possessed). Liner notes by Patrick Mameli. Cover and booklet design by RaDesign (Possessed, Brutality, Defiance).

MALFEITOR (USA) - Malfeitor

MALFEITOR (USA)
Malfeitor

Malfeitor was an US extreme metal band active in the early death/thrash metal scene of the late 1980s. They played a raw, aggressive mixture of early Death Metal and Thrash Metal. Aggressive guitar riffs, fast drumming, harsh vocals, dark atmosphere and an unpolished underground production. It represents the rawer, more primitive side of the extreme US underground metal before the death metal genre became more developed in the early 1990s. This album contains:  ‘Diabolic Youth demo’, the band's original 1987 demo recording. And as bonus the Demo 1988: (also known as the Malediction demo, featuring Malfeitor guitar player / vocalist Phil and Malfeitor bassist Mike plus ex Exmortis drummer Chris Gallo).

AMALEKIM - Avodah Zarah (2nd press)
Pre order

AMALEKIM
Avodah Zarah (2nd press)

Being sold out since a couple of years, finally again available for Xmas !
 

The long work is coming to an end: Italian/Polish black metal band Amalekim, with a new line-up, is ready to reveal their latest work, Avodah Zarah. 

Once again, the ultimate aim is to question all that is sacred and all that is profane in this age of ours. Avodah Zarah contains many influences and many different experiences, both on a musical and a personal level, seeking to present itself as something new in the purest tradition of the genre. With this work, Amalekim decisively turn over a new leaf compared to their previous work, HVHI, with conceptual and musical maturity, seeking to maintain the melodic aspects that distinguish them, implemented by dissonances and greater compositional complexity.

Avodah Zarah revolves around the concept of the inversion of values, taking much from the Old Testament tradition, occultism and alchemy, always in an attempt to bring to the ears and eyes (starting from the cover) of the listeners an ever-present revolt, but without the obviousness and generality that too often mark today's world.

MOONLIGHT SORCERY
Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle (Ripple vinyl)

New press, December 2026: 200 copies in green/black ripple vinyl

 

Gatefold with extensive book, now comes in "Sea Blu" vinyl color

t’s about time to reveal all the faces of the night! Moonlight Sorcery will release their first full-length album entitled Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle on September 29th. Expect nothing but an ice cold blizzard that will conquer your castles, crumble your towers and withhold the daylight forever!

Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle is a perfect combination of the atmosphere from Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity and the rawness of Nightwind: The Conqueror from the Stars, the band’s two EPs released in 2022 and early 2023.

Moonlight Sorcery wants to raise the bar, and these new nine songs have even more melodic hooks and shreddy guitar work. Frozen synth walls further develop the Finnish trio’s unique sound, a vibe you cannot find in any other black metal record.

Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle follows a specific narrative, and its nine compositions tell a single tale, with every song starting where the previous one left off. “Basically, our debut could be a single 44-minute song”, the band said. Yet, the pleasure of learning such a tale is yours. Prepare, wanderer, to meet the Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle!

Mixed and mastered at Unisound by legendary producer and musician Dan Swanö
