NECRODEATH To Release "The Age Of Dead Christ" LP



The new NECRODEATH album "The Age Of Dead Christ"  will be released next March 2018. It will be available on gatefold LP via Terror From Hell Records and on CD version through Scarlet Records.

Old school maniacs and fans from the early days are probably delighted watching the cover artwork and the band´s old logo, and they will be even more excited after knowing more details about the whole concept...

"The Age Of Dead Christ" is Necrodeath’s 11th album, 33 years after their inception into the scene, when the now legendary demo tape ‘The Shining Pentagram’ was released. 33 as the age of Christ, the dead Christ, as the title of the album says. Necrodeath go back to their roots releasing one of the fastest, most violent and brutal chapters in their deadly musical path. The cover resembles the typical artwork of the Eighties demo tapes and features the band’s old logo.

The album includes the song "The Return of The Undead", which is a version of the band´s classic "The Undead" (originally released in the 1987 debut album "Into The Macabre") now featuring A.C. Wild of BULLDOZER on vocals.

Drummer Pesso comments as follows: "The Age Of Dead Christ’ is a violent, loud punch in your blood thirsty mouth! Beware!

Hope we can listen to a brand new track soon, in the meantime listen to this goddamn classic!

PESTILENCE Unveil first single and new artwork for "Hadeon"



PESTILENCE releases "Multi Dimensional" the first single track from "Hadeon".  The press info says...."a song that indeed could have been on a logical follow-up album to the legendary "Testimony of the Ancients", something that I totally agree with. The track blends the vibe of that great album with some progressive and recognizable elements from Patrick Mameli and co.

The band and Hammerheart Records also unveiled the new album artwork, this time done by Michal "Xaay" Loranc, (Vader, Nile Behemoth...). The new desing fits perfectly with the music and and I like it a lot more that the one presented previously.

"Hadeon" will arrive on March 1st, the Pest is back!

EXPULSER "Fornications" 12" EP reissue.



This is a cool reissue from Greyhaze Records, may not be a true gem but it is a very good and interesting record to unearth, dust it of  and give it a good listen.

EXPULSER was another "wild" band from the brazilian underground, the EP "Fornications" was originally released in 1990 as a split EP with Brutal Distortion, through the french label Maggot Records
Two years later the band released their debut full-length "The Unholy One" through Cogumelo Records, which is a more technical recording yet fast, brutal and totally blaspheme.
So if you are into the style and sound of bands like Sarcófago, SexThrash, Mystifier and other cult brazilian acts you should check this band out.

"Fornications" is available on 12" vinyl! get it right now, right here.

WORSHIP VINYL: SAMAEL "Blood Ritual" 25th Anniversary Edition



Purification by the blood! "Blood Ritual" the sophomore album by SAMAEL turns 25.  Time to celebrate and to get a special vinyl reissue (in case you didn´t get the 2011 version, reissued by Floga Records, or if you did but want to fulfill your collector´s vice and get this special reissue too.

This is a black metal gem, not "Nordic" black metal or "Under the Sign of the Black Mark" fast riffing inspired, this is gloomy, morbid, obscure, slow black metal.  "Beyond the Nothingness", "After The Sepulture", "With The Gleam Of The Torches" or the title track are superb.

This anniversary edition reissued by Century Media comes in a gatefold sleeve and includes a 60x60 sized cover art poster. The cover features the LP´s original cover artwork re-created from a brand new scan of the original painting  by Axel Herman, and reveal its more blueish character, which was lost on the first pressing.  An interesting detail revealed is that the artwork has not been polished digitally to show it exactly  the way it looks twenty-five years after being painted.

Apart from regular black vinyl there is a Gatefold white LP+CD+poster version (limited x 100 copies), a Gatefold silver LP+Cd+poster version(limited x 200) and a Gatefold light blue Lp+CD+poster version (limited x 200, Nuclear Blast exclusive)

Bloooooood Riiituuuuaaaaaaaaal...total consecration!
