Spirit Adrift refuses to slow down. With Enlightened In Eternity, Nathan Garrett, alongside drummer Marcus Bryant, has created yet another monument to the timelessness of heavy metal. And while this album builds on the sizable foundation established by previous releases, it also sets itself apart in formidable new ways, widening the scope of what Spirit Adrift can be. What this band has mastered, and where others have failed, is the ability to invoke the power of metal’s past, whether it be the ’70s, ’80s or even the ’90s, as one hears here, without ever feeling throwback or “retro”. Spirit Adrift urgently represent the sonic and emotional zeitgeist of 2020. Enlightened In Eternity carries the same enormous magnitude of the most significant metal records of every era, but Garrett has carved out his own place among the greatest of songwriters, by crafting uniquely classic and instantly recognizable songs. Vocally, Garrett again showcases an obvious evolution of his already high-level ability with more soaring soul and snarling venom injected into his classic metal form. The gorgeous guitar leads, melodies, harmonies and unforgettably heavy riffs benefit from a huge, timeless production quality. Bryant has elevated his drumming to new levels of intensity and tasteful subtlety. And as always, the tracks remain imprinted on the mind long after the album has finished. Whether it’s the ever-expanding catalog of incredible albums and songs or the searing live performances, the dominance of Spirit Adrift upon the current heavy metal landscape is now undeniable. And while Enlightened In Eternity already marks the band’s fourth album, Spirit Adrift have only just begun..

NOW ON LIMITED SILVER / BLACK MERGE VINYL!!! 

Patricidal Lust is noticeably heavier, more abusive and more mentally calamitous than its predecessor Carnal Law. Recorded with Jeff Davis (R.I.P.) and later Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios, Patricidal Lust has an atmosphere of eerie foreboding shrouding the doomed death metal husk at its center; the cryptic dual vocal dynamic of Daniel Butler (Acephalix) and Leila Abdul-Rauf (Saros, Amber Asylum, Hammers of Misfortune) narrates this journey through the body. The ghosts of Steer and Schuldiner echo in twisted half-remembered inference while the calculated, blunt rhythm section invokes abhorrent basement torture dungeons. Lyrically far beyond that which most death metal bands are capable, Patricidal Lust delves ever deeper into subject matter first seen on Carnal Law—the anguish and confusion associated with sexual abuse, incest and the blurry area where eroticism and madness vaporize into an unrecognizable fog of horror. Certain to leave a lasting impression, Vastum’s Patricial Lust is what lies at the core of obscene abomination.

 Stunning cover art by Paolo Girardi (Cauchemar, Lycus, Blasphemophager); vinyl edition features alternate artwork by vocalist Daniel Butler with Girardi’s painting included as a gatefold insert

Six years since Finland’s Lie In Ruin’s last full-length, 2014’s Towards Divine Death, Floating In Timeless Streams sees a more streamlined approach for the band. While their previous album clocked in at seventy-one minutes of brutality (!), this latest trims some of that excess at just over forty-two minutes—without losing any of the impact. Floating... continues to hone and highlight the band’s tremendous guitar work by Roni Ärling and Tuomas Kulmala, but the band has also added the extremely talented Jussi-Pekka Manner (Corpsessed) on drums. Roni Sahari’s (Desolate Shrine) vocals add the icing on the cake, making this the band’s magnum opus and a top highlight of 2020. Finnish death metal’s finest!

Brand new 28-minute EP from Finland's Lie In Ruins. Demise is the first release from this four-piece since 2014's Toward Divine Death. Technically one track, this EP showcases the band's growth. Top no-nonsense death metal as you'd come to expect from one of Finland's best.

The best demo of 2015 is now available on compact disc. Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Spectral Voice play an ancient style of death metal best enjoyed in the crypt from which it was spawned. For fans of old Finnish death metal delicacies as well as those wanting haunting atmosphere and riffs. The only demo ever grace Decibel Magazine's annual top 40 (#35 in 2015). Over 21 minutes.

A relentless whirlwind of proto-death, hysterical thrash and demonic atmosphere full of riffs and blast beats worthy of Morbid Angel Abomination Of Desolation-era or Incubus. Invincible Force have come of age, blasting heaven’s gates wide open in the process…and there shall be no prisoners. Decomposed Sacramentum is perfectly illustrated by the bleak black and white cover artwork designed by David Jorquera.

With “Hidden History of the Human Race”, Denver, Colorado’s cosmic death metallers BLOOD INCANTATION present the successor to one of the most talked about death metal debuts in recent years, 2016’s “Starspawn”. A cerebral whirlwind of intense and otherworldly atmospheric death metal, “Starspawn” took the underground Death Metal world by storm and is about to be topped by the quartet’s second offering. From the neck-breaking speed, slams, and sheer aggression of ‘Slave Species of the Gods’ to the album’s 18 minutes long final track “Awakening From the Dream of Existence to the Multidimensional Nature of Our Reality (Mirror of the Soul)”, BLOOD INCANTATION have excelled themselves at crafting a dynamic foray into the realms of progressive, brutal & strangely melodic death metal, all recorded analogue at World Famous Studios. Accompanied by stunning art by sci-fi legend Bruce Pennington, “HHofHR” is the manifest of a band destined to top many year’s end lists! Available as limited Digipak with Patch and luxurious LP with Gatefold sleeve, A2 poster, CD, 20-page LP booklet and lyric sheet!
