SPECIAL RECORD STORE DAY RELEASE MARKING FORTY YEARS SINCE MAYHEM’S DEBUT LIVE PERFORMANCE IN SKI, NORWAY.
PRESENTED ON LIMITED OXBLOOD RED VINYL WITH SIDE B ETCHING.
Mayhem, the Norwegian pioneers responsible for invigorating a global metal scene alongside originators such as Venom, Celtic Frost & Bathory, formed in 1984 & with a long history of tragedy, intrigue & infamy has become a truly revered legend of black metal over the subsequent four decades. A large part of the band’s lasting legacy was established in the late 80’s & early 90’s, when original members Euronymous (Guitar) & Necrobutcher (Bass) welcomed Hellhammer on drums & Dead on vocals, to help shape a new era of darkness, becoming highly influential leaders of the genre in the process; an accolade which has endured to this day.
Revisiting the very earliest incarnation of the band & marking 40 years since Mayhem’s cult debut performance, this special limited Record Store Day vinyl release features Mayhem’s April 1985 gig in Ski, Norway, where the band carve their way through cover versions of classic Venom & Celtic Frost in this rare delight for fans.
This Record Store Day edition of ‘Live in Ski’ is presented on limited oxblood red vinyl and features an etching on Side B.

Silver vinyl, 150 copies edition
Recorded live in Bratislava and Prague in April 2024

Sarkom are back with a vengeance with “Exceed In2 Chaos”, their fifth opus after “Anti-Cosmic Art” released in 2016. In the meantime, they have kept themselves busy releasing several EPs containing some new tunes and a memorable rendition of the Prodigy classic “Breathe”. Anyway, 2025 marks the comeback in full form: “Exceed In2 Chaos” is a grand return to classic, razor-sharp norwegian black metal in pure Sarkom tradition. Since the artwork, Sarkom again push the boundaries of Black Art with a challenging, violent and brightly coloured design.
Musically speaking, “Exceed” displays nine tracks of cold, evil black metal enhanced by a great production and a bone-chilling vocal performance by Unsgaard. Balancing between fast splinters and panzer-like mid-tempos, the record clocks at almost 50 minutes of pure darkness!
Limited 4LP slipcase with Petrol Green vinyl. With booklet.
Tomb Of The Forgotten - NECROPSY's early demos to be re-released on vinyl in January via Svart Records. NECROPSY is one of the few truly legendary bands of the obscure Finnish death metal scene of the late 80s/early 90s. Dark and twisted Death Metal in the vein of early SENTENCED, early AMORPHIS, CONVULSE, DEMIGOD, PURTENANCE, DEMILICH and ABHORRENCE. Hailing from Lahti, Finland, the band formed in 1987 and released the material featured on this compilation before taking a 14-year hiatus beginning in 1994. Founding member Janne Kosonen and his brother Tero reformed NECROPSY in 2008 and are still active today.
Tomb of the Forgotten (The Complete Demo Recordings 1989-1993), originally released by Century Media in 2013, is the first ever official demo compilation fully authorised by the band and features all of NECROPSY's early recordings with 40 tracks in total. All audio material has been carefully remastered from the original master tapes by DMS Mastering (GRAVE, MORBID, ASPHYX) for the best possible audio quality. Includes an extensive interview with the band, tons of pictures, scans of concert flyers, demo artwork, fanzine reviews and more.
Please note: New copy but comes with a small Seam split
Witness their Ascent Into Draconian Abyss, which was teasingly released in an extremely limited tape version for those who had the good fortune of attending the most recent Signal Rex-curated Invicta Requiem Mass festival and witnessing their crimes in the flesh. As the duo forecasted with the recent maxi-single Excesses of Perpetual Gloom, their muse only becomes thirstier and more miserable. Mons Veneris are always surprising, yet always uncompromising and always themselves, as testified by Ascent Into Draconian Abyss: the opening 20-minute title track is a harrowing descent into lunacy, and the ghoulishness only intensifies on the album's successive three tracks. More monkish vokills come forth, haunting like nothing else as their buzzing belligerence winds through craggy corridors of mondo-primitivism, all before the hall-of-mirrors madness of closer "Chant to the Unknown." Mons Veneris will fuck you on your Ascent Into Draconian Abyss!
