Finnish death metal 7" box set series to be released via Svart Records - Part I with Abhorrence, Disgrace & Messiah Paratroops out in April

This is part of the story of the birth of early Finnish death metal. The late ’80s and early ’90s were a time when underground extreme metal flourished, and the main centrifugal force that got bands known globally was tape trading. Influences spread like a disease, and young, emerging death metal groups were eager to be more brutal than the next. Lack of money meant that studios couldn’t be booked for weeks, so the first logical release for starting bands was usually a self-released demo tape or a seven-inch vinyl, where they could squeeze in two to four tracks.

Even though we are talking about Finnish death metal here, the American record label Seraphic Decay, run by Steve O’Bannon, plays an important role in this story. It was the label that originally released the first 7” records for three Finnish bands: Disgrace's Debts of God (1990), Abhorrence's Abhorrence (1990) — the band that later morphed into Amorphis — and Messiah Paratroops' The Past (1992).

Comes in a 6-panel digipack. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

Originally released in 2017 by Dark Descent records and long sold out, "Holókauston" is - for now - the crowning achievement of BESTIA ARCANA, the occultist Black Metal outlet for Naas Alcameth (AKHLYS, AORATOS, NIGHTBRINGER) alongside current and ex-members of NIGHTBRINGER.

s to mankind's ruin and the final triumph of Death. Who will withstand the Fires of Judgment? Our hands are full of Blood! Oh Lord, our hands are full of Blood!

The electrifying 9th full-length from Czech avant-Black Metal voyagers INFERNO distils the bleak grandeur of 2021's "Paradeigma" into another disturbed and profound psychological trip, where the listener takes the role of 'silent witness to the chaos within our cosmos'.

HAVOHEJ is the solo project of Paul Ledney, formed in 1993 after the split of Profanatica the previous year. Former Profanatica and Incantation member Brett Makowski assisted with guitars and bass on the first album, "Dethrone The Son Of God", which consists mainly of re-worked and re-recorded Profanatica tracks. This is the essence of evil and blackness with each and every sinister guitar riff, complimented by a signature vocal style that truly embodies the meaning of true Unholy Black Metal.

Released in a limited six-panel Digipak Cd edition.
