Heavy, blues-based rock that you can dance to!

Quebec rockers Tonnerre emerge with La nuit sauvage, a heavy dose 70s-inspired rock that takes cues from AC/DC and Blue Öyster Cult—complete with French-sung lyrics! 

There is something in the air in rural Quebec, Canada. Known for its deep, long winters, not to mention its thick, unyielding forests, Quebec’s pastoral beauty evokes the kind of prolonged, deep-into-the-night gatherings by a fire (with some libations, too) that some can only dream about. But for the members of Tonnerre, it is part of the fabric that brought them together to create a timeless form of blues-based rock that bobs the head and shakes the hips. The band’s debut album, La nuit sauvage, was created from the very nights the band spent in the countryside with friends, drinking the aforementioned beer while telling stories and listening to music. And like night itself, La nuit sauvage is an album that gets darker and more mysterious as it unfolds.

Los Angeles doom crew Stygian Crown returns with their long-awaited sophomore album, Funeral for a King, a formidable LP built upon the foundation of epic doom and death metal

Red vinyl with black spaltter limited to 200 copies.

Zwielicht exists as such since 2002, but was called Gordem beforehand. It was not until 2005 the unholy legion decided to rebaptize to the name Zwielicht, which lasts until to this day. The first physical emanation was a self released demo tape in 2006: "Leibestod". Onwards and downwards the spiral the next was in 2010 when the first EP – Unholy Legion - was released via the very own label Back to the Bone which was also founded in said year. Zwielicht’s debut album, With love from Sinister, was released on CD in 2014, on Tape in 2015 and in 2022 on Vinyl and as a special Tape version. The latter two were published by Idiots Records and Ancient Spirit Terror. In the same year the unholy legion started the recordings for their sophomore album which will see its first light on 9th February 2024.

Ferum is a death doom metal band originated in Italy, but now scattered
over two countries. Asunder / Erode, the band’s debut album, is an
obsessive and monolithic record. Slow, funereal riffs are tied to faster,
sharper parts, while harmonized melodies and solos paint a cavernous
atmosphere. The drums wisely marches, moving from the background into
the spotlight, always followed by the bass guitar.
Asunder / Erode was recorded and mixed at Walter Productions in Tallinn,
Estonia by producer and sound engineer Are Kangus. The studio is located
inside the historic Tallinna Linnahall, a behemoth built during the Soviet
occupation. Today it is an urban wreck kept alive by few commercial
activities which are based on the inside: it is in fact closed to the public,
with the exception of some parts. Its interior is a maze of stillbirth potential,
and inspired one of the album's pieces.
The record was mixed completely in analogue to give the songs a deeper,
more archaic, real thickness. The master by Dan Swanö added the final
touches, making the album consistent, organic and even heavier.
Conceptually, Asunder / Erode is a journey that explores the idea of
separation and its dichotomy, up to erosion and collapse. This is
represented in a morbid and extreme way by the cover by Maestro Paolo
Girardi. The choice of oil on canvas follows the same logic of the analogue
mix: to make the whole as natural, as real as possible, and to pay homage
to the influences that inspired Ferum, by reinterpreting them

Gestated in 2023, STENCHED emanate from the sewers of the city of Monterrey, in northern Mexico. There, Adrián - the band's only member, who's also in Impending Rot and Excretory - released their first demo, Gorging on Mephitic Rot first digitally and then on CD.

The atmosphere of death and decay can be smelled from the first seconds of this recording. The muddy sound, the barbaric riffs, the gross art, and the primitive lyrics are a tribute to everything that surrounds the underground circuit where the death metal genre began in the '90s. STENCHED is about death, putridity, and gore: simple as that.

With their sophomore album Imperative Imperceptible Impulse, Ad Nauseam took a step forward in terms of composition, musical structures and sound. Music is not intended as a mere sequence of riffs that sounds well one after the other, but is now a naturally ordered structure where almost every musical event refers to the past and/or predicts the future, generating very layered and complex patterns dominated by polyphony and polyrhythms and where each instrument has its own role and is essential in the whole. The music represents a merging of many different styles, the most prominent ones being extreme death/black metal, avantgarde, jazz, post-core, doom/sludge and ambient. 

The composition process of Imperative Imperceptible Impulse has been heavily influenced by 20th century classical composers like Stravinsky, Šostakóvič, Xenakis, Scelsi, Penderecki and Ligeti, to name a few. Both the concepts of harmony and melody have been put into discussion to get a music where harmony is obtained by means of disharmony and melody by dissonances. To push this method even further, a unique tuning system has been conceived, to allow a new harmonic vocabulary and to eradicate the players from the comfort zone of the usual melodic patterns every guitar/bass player is used to.
