Black metal / Crust. Velká Británie.

Zbrusu nové album polské death metalové kapely. Precizní old school v duchu té nejlepší staré americké tradice.   Polish death metal quartet CINIS are back with the third full length. "Lies That Comfort Me" brings forth nine pummeling tracks of tumultuous death metal with massive homage paid to Florida legends and forerunners of the genre, MORBID ANGEL, DEICIDE, and CANNIBAL CORPSE as well as more technical influence from countrymates VADER and DECAPITATED. "Lies That Comfort Me" was recorded between October 2021 and March 2020, engineered by Lukasz Bielemuk, then mixed and mastered at Hertz Studio (BEHEMOTH, VADER, TRAUMA, DECAPITATED). The album is completed with artwork and layout by Tomasz "Hal" Halicki (VADER, DEAD INFECTION). “In the music itself, the song is a fast-paced but jolting barrage of maniacally slugging riffs, hyper-speed drum blasting, and bestial, belly-deep growls. Sounds of sadistic viciousness also well up in hornet-swarm chords, and delirium...

Precizní avant-gardní black metal. Digipack. Velká Británie.

Zatím poslední album CODE z roku 2015. Precizní melancholický emotivní post black metal / post rock. Velká Británie. Tearing down the barriers of extreme metal limitations, CODE have taken a daring plunge into the unknown following their urge for further unhampered expression, and have delivered a dynamic progressive post-rock album that is sure to cause a stir. Commented by CODE: "mut is the sound of us as a band freeing ourselves not just from the confines of what code is, but from genre conventions of any description. The time for conforming has past and we have created an album that is the purest distillation of our creative ambition. This is the first time in the history of the band that we have created music with no reference points and as a result, this is our most stark, intimate and emotional album".

Melancholický náladotvůrný post black metal. Digipack. Holandsko. Welcome to the third highly anticipated full length album of dutch introspective musical experience : COLD BODY RADIATION. ”A Clear Path” is a deeply personal work of loss, honesty and hope. A new focus on songs structure and personal lyrics. Cut from the roots and stylistic restrains of black metal COLD BODY RADIATION is now free to soar new highs and lows. All they want to do is make new music and set their own standards even higher. The depth and quality is tangible in every hair-raising moment, it is honest, textured sound and far more beautiful than a description can attest. ”A clear path” is the soundtrack to your inner growth, and should be approached with caution.

Melancholický náladotvůrný post black metal. Holandsko. The long time sold out second album of seminal shoegaze black metal act Cold Body Radiation is now reissued on jewel case CD format. So hard to categorise, CBR is becoming a fiercely original reference in the so called post-bm shoegaze movement. The new seven compositions come with a pounding sound structure trying to flout all conventions of usual extreme metal audio structures. ‘Deer Twillight’ captures the cold season in all shades and lights. Winter provided a perfect backdrop for melancholy and inner turmoil. This is a personal journey looking for hope in bleak circumstances. Trying to capture the overwhelming beauty and despair of winter.

Melancholický post black metal. Holandsko. With this new album, COLD BODY RADIATION continues the intimate and melancholic path of the previous “The clear path”. These eight new tracks album once again confirm the M. quality and composition depth that, although he definitively abandoned the most extreme sounds, still managed to get us into a restlessness and mystery swirl. ‘The orphean lyre” is an intensely human listening experience. Teeming with life and breathing as it coughs and splutters, there is an unavoidable attachment felt almost instantly as a listener. This is music that drags you in and simply refuses to let go. Do not think, do not listen to, do not judge yourself for what will come out of this experience. Everything is within you and this new COLD BODY RADIATION album is a solid vehicle for a deep work on yourself. Finally.

Gothic darkwave. Rusko.

Zásadní nahrávka italské electro dark wave scény z roku 1995 vychází znovu na CD. COLLOQUIO is well known for exploring the territories between electronic/wave sounds and the italian songwriting tradition. "Io E L’Altro" represents one of the early examples of their soundscapes. As many says nobody sounds and sings the inadequacy of this life like Gianni does. There's something more than mere "music" in his records and there's more than simple "poetry" in his words. Who loves last COLLOQUIO’s works like “L’entrata – L’uscita” or the previuous “Si Muove E Ride” will need to find the basis and roots of that majestic sound in this old but always contemporary output and will greatly enjoy.

Zběsilý moderní grindcore z USA. Grindcore antagonists COMPLETE FAILURE set loose their newest album “The Art Gospel of Aggravated Assault”. The band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania deliver a tour de force fusing ferocious speed and aggression with their violent, iconoclastic stance. Their debut full-length “Perversions of Guilt” was recorded, mixed and mastered by TODAY IS THE DAY frontman Steve Austin. After a US and European tour in 2008, their self released album “Heal No Evil” (2009) sold out immediately and was re-issued by Relapse Records. Critics attribute a wide range of influences such as BLACK FLAG and POISON IDEA, but also BLUE ÖYSTER CULT and URIAH HEEP. “The Art Gospel of Aggravated Assault” comes with brutal force and a musical intelligence making COMPLETE FAILURE more than just another Grindcore act!

Projekt lidí ze Shape of Despair. Melancholický finský dark rock / doom metal. Digipack. Choosing the term "depressive dark rock" to describe themselves doesn't do Counting Hours enough justice as the debut album from this Finnish five-piece not only links their sound to game-changing acts such as Katatonia, Paradise Lost and October Tide but succeeds on evoking the lost feeling of the 90s dark and gothic music scene, mainly because part of what you get to hear on their fresh and intriguing 2018 demo was written during that era, embodying the original atmosphere and vulnerability only a band from those times could materialize. Jarno Salomaa (guitars) comments on the debut full-length: «When we first started with Counting Hours, I basically went to our rehearsal room with Ilpo and had some beers along to record some vocals on the demo stuff I had made. Basically, nothing else besides creating music from the grounds I had made for Rapture back in early 2000. But anyway... Beer, good...

Praotci psychedelického proto doom metalu, kteří se představili také na Brutal Assaultu 2019. Kultovní kapela 70-tých let a toto je jejich 5-ti CD box v luxusním art book vydání. On the sunset eve of the sixties, as flower power was wilting and the winds of change blew a cold breeze over Altamont, Coven struck the first chords of major label satanic rock. Instantly infamous for being the first to use the words "Ave Sathanas" on a record, Coven was boycotted. Not only this but their debut album from 1969 kicks off with a song called 'Black Sabbath.' The bass player's name was Oz Osborne, who can be seen on the albums back cover making the first documented sign of the horns. Now the magick of Coven is coming together in a unique box set. Processed with a faux-velvet cover and golden hotfoil embossment as well as limited to just a thousand copies, this release features all manner of Coven treasures. It includes five LPs; there are, of course, the three classic-era Coven albums,...
