Crawling through the gloomy atmospheres of Black, Death and Funeral Doom, Half Visible Presence remains shrouded in a mysticism of its own, adorned by melancholy, morbidity and foul scourge.
 

Duplicate Records proudly presents Norwegian cosmic horror death metal act KOSMIK TOMB, whose debut album Origins of the Horror will be released on physical format 2022.

KOSMIK TOMB is the brainchild of A (NACHASH, HIDEOUS DEATH), who creates both music and lyrics, as well as handling all instruments. Origins of the Horror feels like a trip through an alternate universe where unspeakable creatures dwell. There's a Lovecraftian vibe throughout and the atmosphere is thick with the kind of despair one would experience in an alien world with no shred of hope.
Fans of dark, doomy trippy death metal rejoice, the KOSMIK TOMB has opened...

An underground brutal death metal demo grail finally unearthed after twenty-five years rotting, 20 Buck Spin presents Prelude To Obscurity! Hailing from Wisconsin in the shadow of the Milwaukee Metal Fest, Embalm formed in 1995 while in high school in the era of Ablated Records, Frozen Dawn CD compilations and IllNoiz Death Fest to name a few. Embalm created truly memorable grooves of mid-paced, catchy, and brutal-as-hell Midwest death metal, also including the customary influence of Swedish death metal and even touches of Dissection-style harmony, setting this demo apart from any forced retro nostalgia. Despite staying local, Embalm was a part of a larger network and held their own supporting bands like Rotted, Internal Bleeding and Incantation. While this collection focuses on the masterwork and tragic final demo aptly titled Prelude To Obscurity, sicko freaks will be treated to the literally impossible to obtain first Demo ’95 as well, showing the most evil and grim basement necro recordings that, while primitive and cruel, still hold minimalistic memory of true underground demo cassette culture. Also included in a rare find are the two final live tracks that sadly never made it to the studio, written after Prelude and showing the band’s insane dual vocal / multi-lingual genius for darkness, slam and tortured leads. Painstakingly remastered from original DAT and cassette tapes by Arthur Rizk, the collection includes a massive time capsule booklet of flyers, ephemera, zine reviews, and live photos from the bygone glory days of true brutal death metal! A guidepost for any new band looking for a glimpse of time tested ‘brutal stuff’. A first time co-release between two modern underground titans, 20 Buck Spin and Hospital Productions.

• Reissue of obscure Midwestern demo brutality from the ‘90s
• Includes massive 24-page booklet of flyers, old artwork, zine reviews etc
• Remastered by Arthur Rizk
• Includes a bandcamp download card
• First time co-release between 20 Buck Spin and Hospital Productions
• For fans of Fleshgrind, Deaden, Broken Hope, Dissection, Witch Vomit, Torture Rack

On their fourth full-length album, Italian post-black metal duo Falaise keep exploring introverted feelings of isolation and loneliness, conducted through waves of raging black metal and dreamy melodies devoted to the greatest luminaries of post-rock and blackgaze. "After All This Time" is an album of primal intensity, a research on intimate alienation by a band at the peak of their craft.
