New Album, out in July!

jewelcase CD with 8 pages booklet

Spanish blackened death metal quartet Akouphenom is about to release their new EP, Connections To The Erebus, through Avantgarde Music’s death metal division, Unorthodox Emanations. This release marks a significant addition to the band's discography, following their 2023 debut album, Death·Chaos·Void. Formed in 2014 in A Coruña, Spain, Akouphenom is known for their fusion of blackened death metal with elements of doom and noise, aiming to reflect absolute evil in their creations

Formed in January of 1985 by Dave Carr (bass), Chuck Stadulis (drums), John Plumley (guitars) and Gary Capriotti (vocals), the Philadelphia outfit Anvil Bitch was immediately sending shock waves throughout the metal underground with their raw four-track basement demo tape, which established them as major contenders in the quickly growing thrash metal scene. Massive college radio airplay paired with selected international press and the support of influential journalists such as Don Kaye from Kerrang! and the staff at Kick Ass Monthly cemented Anvil Bitch’s reputation of one of the hottest new bands on the scene. The summer of 1986 saw Anvil Bitch enter the studio to record their debut album »Rise To Offend« for New Renaissance Records, along with the track “Neckbreaker” for release on the NRR compilation album »Speed Metal Hell 2« (following “To The Grave” on »Thrash Metal Attack« a year earlier). Underground metal fans finally saw the record hit the shelves in December ‘86. Initial pressings sold out in a matter of months. With albums sales still growing, the band set off on their first major tour playing dates with Motörhead and Nuclear Assault, along with a long leg of headlining shows on the East Coast, from Canada to Miami. In their hometown of Philadelphia Anvil Bitch were easily drawing 1,000+ punters. Unfortunately, Anvil Bitch split up before being able to record a follow-up to »Rise To Offend«. However, they managed to record a one-off EP named »Sanctify« in 2008, before calling it quits for a second time around. Having been out of print for a long time, High Roller Records is proud to announce the de luxe re-issue of an overlooked US thrash metal gem, featuring short sharp shocks such as “Vengeance Of The Sword”, “Maggot Infestation” or “Shark Attack”.

This is where it all began, the 1994 debut which shook the European Black Metal scene upon its foundations.
Originally released on cult imprint Cacophonous Records, CRADLE OF FILTH first album is now available for the first time over a decade on noble vinyl but also on picture vinyl, digibook-CD and tape.

While still bearing few traces of their Death Metal roots, The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh remains an unique sounding album to this day, drenched in gothic atmospheres and vampiric themes. A true masterpiece which immediately spawned many imitators, although none managed to match their intensity and undeniable British flair.

Pure cult!

Black tape with a 5 panel j-card.
Limited to 500 copies.

Although it had a very troubled birth, all detailed in the liner notes included with those different versions here, CRADLE OF FILTH almost-album-length 1996 EP V Empire, Or Dark Faerytales In Phallustein proved to be a superb triumph over adversity.

Despite all their legal problems, line-up changes and insane pressure after the gigantic success of their debut album, the Brits nevertheless managed to write and record a slab of new even grander songs, next to a new version of the already classic ‘The Forest Whispers My Name’, some would argue even bettering their debut in the process.

Another undeniable 90s symphonic black metal masterpiece, available again for the first time officially since 2017!

Until 2016, very few people had access to the original version of CRADLE OF FILTH follow-up to their hugely successful debut album The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh.
Entangled in legal problems with their former label and with few of their key members about to jump ship to form THE BLOOD DIVINE, this recording was seemingly doomed to fail. It thus remained locked up in the vault for over twenty-one years, the band having decided ultimately to shelve it and quickly record and release the V Empire, Dark Faerytales In Phallustein EP instead, before committing to tape another version of this album with a revamped line-up and new arrangements.

Having heard the fans’ plea, Dani Filth finally agreed to issue it officially for the first time in 2016 after remastering it with the help of famed producer and longtime collaborator Scott Atkins (AMON AMARTH, VADER, GAMA BOMB, BENEDICTION).
