"First official release of (V.E.G.A.)'s debut album, originally composed between 1999 and 2001.
A psychedelic and obscure mixture of metal, drugs/insanity and electronic musick.
People who liked the Cocaine-album, will definitely not be disappointed with this warm injection.
Yet one step further (back) in mental disharmony!
Comes with one bonus track." - Occult Sadism

"Powerful, raw and devastating primitive Black Metal, highly recommended!"
"The second demo of the New York based Ancestors. This cassette is very short but incredibly intense. Ancestors offers an ultra raw, harsh and straight to the point recording that shall please all fanatics of digital violence." - Tour De Garde
Black Metal project by Noise artist Mark McCoy (Charles Bronson, Failures, etc.). Fans of Ildjarn (Nor) should get this at any cost.

""Through Waters" is the debut EP of the German project Decision at Sundown, solely run by pw. A few might recognise the name since he already did intro and outro ambientscapes for the German Dark Metal band Isolation. After having been recorded back in 2007 already, this marks the first self-contained appearance in music history for DaS. "Through Waters" takes you on an instrumental journey of doom metal heaviness mixed with organic ambient sounds. Wait... doom / ambient projects are quite common nowadays, right? Unfortunately alot of those sound like the band realized while recording that their instruments weren't tuned so they got bored and simply put them down without switching them off nor stopping the recording. But Decision at Sundown is far from that, trust me! These 20 minutes form a wholistic monolith out of its different aspects, which must be experienced. Because of that, chosing a sample was unthankful business and therefore I can only advice you to judge this record as a whole. If you are by any chance into crushing doom riffs and darkest ambient soundtextures get your ticket and enjoy the ride!

"Features two unreleased tracks showing a somewhat new side of DŘDSENGEL. More psychedelic and varied, introducing more atmosphere and depravity than ever. 2 songs, 35 minutes, exclusive for this tape release. Limited to 300 copies! Never to be repressed again! Become possessed and drown into the trancelike void of the sounds of ARKAIK! Zazas! Zazas! Nasatanada Zazas!" - Terratur Possessions
New cassette EP of Occult Black Metal.

Piano-driven Doom/Black Metal with bleak atmosphere. It may be hard to believe that only 1 man is behind this..
Don't let (failing) imitators redraw your attention of the uniqueness of this project.

Contains their so far strongest releases, being the "Twilight's Depths" MLP and the "Kadotus" EP. You need to get this if you missed out on that EP, it has the perfect production for this band! Very recommended.

"The self-titled debut album by the Italian avantgarde black metal band Kailash first saw the light of day in 2006, on a cdr released by the Italian label Traceroeuno. A year later Paradigms Recordings from England printed a limited run of professional CDs. After listening to this great piece of art, we were happy to join ranks with these labels and do our share of supporting this album by doing the cassette version. Drawing influences from (progressive) rock and metal, black metal of course and even classical music Kailash brew their very own brand of modern extreme metal. Seldomly I have heard blastbeats and harsh vocals melt so perfectly together with jazzy, progressive moments, which even feature the use of a saxophone. Forget all those bands who try to pump every possible element into their metal and end up either like a sampler or a teenager's drug experiment gone wrong. This very band doesn't sound anything like that. While Kailash reminded me instantly of Ved Buens Ende and also of later Ulver or Code, it is a miracle to me, why this release didn't get more of the attention it deserves in my opinion. To everyone who consideres himself a fan of modern black metal with intelligent arrangements and progressive elements, I can only raise my voice to say: "Do not ignore this great album!" - Choirs Of Delusion

"The W.T.C. proudly presents the professionally manufactured Tape version of the latest Katharsis curse “Fourth Reich” (under license of Norma Evangelium Diaboli)." - W.T.C. Productions

"Black Metal gods Katharsis return in full rotten splendour with a 45 minutes long recording. While the song-writing retains the main ill characteristics of previous full-length VVORLDVVITHOUTEND, the extensive song structures operate as hypnotizing and lethal labyrinths, the murderous and brutal riffing is enhanced by a frontal opposition with a rare and genuine mastery of sheer black magic atmospheres." - Norma Evangelium Diaboli

"Slow and hypnotizing desolation from Sweden. Very monotonous in composition, but its piercing melancholic atmosphere will keep you focused yet daydreaming." - Heidens Hart
New atmospheric Black Metal/Ambient project by Nachtzeit (ex-Hypothermia).

"Mysterious Black Metal Art!" - No Colours
Debut album much influenced by Abyssic Hate, Burzum and perhaps Wigrid.

"New tape with 4 new songs (36 min playing time). Black Metal from Italy with influences from Ambient and Drone. Comes with pro printed cover."
Perhaps known from some demo's on the label Insikt which should give an idea on what to expect.

New project by He Who Crushes Teeth from Bone Awl. Not just a copy of Bone Awl although in the same raw, punk infused Black Metal style. This delivers even if it's only a first demo.. Good drumming too - chops forth in an almost addictive way.
This is the reprint with yellow paper booklet. (The first version sold out quickly.)

"Trist is melancholic musick about sadness, negativity, dark spheres in my mind, solitude, emptiness feeling, reveries and painfull desires."
This is the original cassette print.

Last copies.
"Zjitrená bolest" gathers 3 so far unrevealed demo recordings originally written in 2005-2006: Ríjen pod mlhou, Pustota and Trnový labyrint. They showcase the early stages of Trist before and right after the outstanding work of melancholy "Stíny" came out. Official pro-tape issue, 5 songs.

"There are many ways to describe the works of Malefic. Yet, words seems to fall flat when you try to articulate what you feel when the eerie tunes lingers through the speakers. The music contained on this cassette speaks for itself and needs no further introduction. Licensed from Hydra Head Records. This tape also contains one additional track that was only available on the vinyl version of the very same album. The cassettes are pro-printed." - Total Holocaust Records

"Easily the most promising Black Metal band from Japan at this moment. The dedication behind this band is easy to spot through their creation of the first two early demos. On this CD you will find both Rekonquista and Hymne previously only released on tape format. The atmosphere kept on these two demos is in the same league as the classic Belketre and Mütiilation demos." - Total Holocaust Records

"Fourteen tracks of incredibly crude and unhinged black metal. Blackened Voivod-esque riffing accompanied by frantic drums and even more frantic shrieks and moans. Everything is soaked in a thick sludge which creates an intense and very caustic atmosphere." - Rusty Axe Records

"Almost 30 minutes long EP. More straight-forward, stripped-down and rawer Black Metal than on the debut album. " - AAP

Last copy.
"Possibly their most demented effort yet, Brobdingnagian's new MCD "TortureStainedDisaster" is an insidious crawl through four loathsome tracks of the most nauseating order. Be it vile, pain-fuelled Black Metal or pensive experimentation with the sounds of the bleating masses, each song is guaranteed to bring a new kind mind-tearing agony to the listener. Lose the remaining shreds of your sanity to the wretched, lunatic screaming vocals, the labyrinthine guitar work and the constant presence of a warping, clawing shroud of appalling noise." - Rusty Axe Records

Circle Of Ouroborus delivers one of a kind mellow, experimental black metal as usual.
Crooked Necks was known as Frail before they changed name and has the main member of Toil (USA). Joy Division used to be one of the inspirations of this project but they've definitely grown since the debut demo. The vocal style can be described as shrieking and the music has a dreamy/melancholic atmosphere. Released as a nice digipack CD. This split album comes recommended!

"Contains all material from this ancient and hateful Satanic Death/Black Metal Horde. Demos from 1993 and 1995 + curses from the split tape with Asakku from 1995." - Werwolf Records
Curse was active from 1991-1996 and seems to be really looked over. Quality old school Death/Black metal.

"An "alive and kicking" record that captures both periods from the band's existence: the demo stage - that reflected furious avantgarde black metal tunes and the new period that brings a fresh sound, a mix of extreme metal with post-punk, alternative and electronica influences.
11 tracks that will keep you constantly awake, switching moods, feelings and views: from insane screams to melodic and emotional songs, from heavy riffs to electronica, from orthodox folklore based blasphemy to atmospheric psychedelic sounds." - GoatowaRex

"The follow up to the acclaimed Visionary is now finally out through Terratur Possessions!
Occult Black Metal from Norway expressing the ideal of anticreation!

The Path
Dřdsengel is the vessel to cross and combine the wraths and harmonies of the Qliphoth. To bask in the alternate light of the Hidden Sun, and to stretch our twelve blazing wings towards the formless Void.
The New Form
To evolve into the new form, as the Cainite Angel of Murder, the Vamachara Initiate must carve his primoridal clay anew. Dřdsengelen inkarnert.
The Final Liberation
The unholy apparition cuts out of the Cycle of the flesh and is born anew as the perfect negation of earthly life. As omnipotent conciousness in the untrodden Ćther, the being has left the emanations of Shamhamforash forever. A new excistence.
CONTRA MUNDI!" - Terratur Possessions

"Truely one of Norways strongest Black Metal hordes and also one of those bands which has been an influence for several of bands. And for a very good reason. They have always had their own formula of making the Blackest of atmospheres come to life through their music. This album was released on a MCD in 1995 and has been sold out since a very long time. To honour this forgotten album I together with Forgotten Woods did plans for a re-issue which now is at hand. Featured on this album is the three original tracks as well as two previously unheard tracks which are taken from rehearsal tracks that has only been in the hands of the band previous to this. So no matter if you have the original copy of this or not, it's sure a worthy addition. The album comes also with totally reworked layout in a luxurious fold out booklet. Nothing more to add here really, a Black Metal classic that should not be overlooked." - Total Holocaust Records

"CD re-release with "Carpathian Wolves" rehearsal tracks as bonus tracks in great quality and with new lay-out! Playingtime over 70 minutes!" - No Colours Records

"You cannot accuse Kim of Hypothermia for not being prolific. But don't let his recent high ammount of releases shadow the fact that the progression within Hypothermia is steadily evolving, his flood of creativity is not to be held back, it is to be supported. This, his latest masterpiece is a slow and trance-inducing journey into wide open wounds and crimson red poetry. Black Metal forged in blood and decadence. This is nothing less then music for your funeral to come." - Total Holocaust Records

"Includes Ildjarn black metal recordings from 1991-1995. Mostly unreleased + couple different versions of songs. 21 minutes of most harsh sounding norse black metal, many songs this time midpaced and obscure. Packaged in full color cardboard sleeve." - Northern Heritage

"Re-release of this fantastic misanthropic Pop Album with 4 bonustracks from the Split EP´s with Apokryphus and Woods of Infinity!
Arisen from the crypts of Forgotten Woods, Norwegian Joyless dared to experiment and leave most black metal ethics behind, resulting in (as of yet) two amazing albums, of which the second one from 2000 now gets its deserved reissue! Exploring grey post-punk sounds (read: Joy Division, early The Cure and Cocteau Twins) and adding female vocals (a harsh mix of Kate Bush and The Cranberries' Dolores Mary), this is a daring grim voyage into bleak pop sounds!" - No Colours Records

"This is the latest manifestation from the infamous Lifelover. Entitled Dekadens, this MCD takes the band further than ever before. It contains 7 tracks of sick miserable metal/rock. The sound is heavier and more aggressive. This is so much more than just an ordinary MCD; it's a must for every fan of Lifelover and their notorious works.
With this perfect mix of hatred, strangeness and melancholy, Lifelover once again show what they're made of, and with this release they strengthen their positions as the kings of this so far nameless genre of sick, miserable music." - Osmose Productions
Over 26 minutes playing time.

New project by Graav and A from Armagedda (Swe) and LIK (Swe). Lyrics deal with nature and more specifically the cold Norrland which is pretty isolated from the bigger cities and all humanity.. Resembling to LIK (Swe) but Folk Rock elements were injected as well here. This project emerged silently but nevertheless deserves your attention.
Special offer: get both Lönndom's "Fälen Frĺn Norr" and "Viddernas Tolv Kapitel" CDs for 20,00 EUR (excl. p&p).

"After a longer time of creation the swedish duo returns with a complete acoustic album. 12 tracks that witness of great creative force and a wonderful, homogeneous and open-style album of rare beauty. A journey, an honest confession to nature and at the same time an escape from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and modernity. The magic of folk is brought back by isolated and melancholic feelings reminding us our own evocative strength. Visions of thoughtful solitude evoke the melancholy of a lost time, turn back the wheel to forgotten ages. Listening to these songs is like seeing through the eyes of a northern-land wanderer: wide landscapes wearing the autumn colors, snow covered mountains under clear blue sky, endless horizons and feeling the warm hearths of grandfathers families. Dive into "Viddernas Tolv Kapitel" and experience a profound emotional journey !" - Eisenwald
Folk / acoustic music. One half reminds of Johnny Cash while the other half reminds of Ulver era "Kveldssanger".

"3rd full-length album of Australian mournful doom god. "Layered mournful melodies","Extremely slow rhythm", "Well-constructed song structures", their music is still on the same way of "The Monad Of Creation" album, but they expand their musical horizon a little bit. Emotional melodies become more emotional, majestic heavy riffs become heavier and heavier. This is another masterpiece of doom!!!!! On previous album, they deliver only 4 long songs but this time they deliver 8 songs mixing long songs and short songs including some instrumental tracks." - Weird Truth Productions

"Obscure Black Metal from Holland. Black Metal with that old scandinavian feeling to it. Piercing vocal performance and dedication to the Black flame that once more is burning strong. Öde is not a project that is taking its first step into the Black Metal realm, this project has been lurking deep underground for a long time and this debut full-lengther will give you a taste of what the Dutch Black Metal underground has to offer to this date." - Total Holocaust Records

"The continuation of "Strength and Honour"!
Fast and primitive Black Metal without compromises!" - No Colours Records

"Death rock. Cold-wave. Dark, unsettling new-wave, post-punk, batcave music featuring Andy Julia on vocals."

"Frontman Andy Julia will be familiar to most as the original, and current, drummer of Nuit Noire. He has also played in Peste Noire, Mütiilation, Celestia and is one half of Darvulia. Soror Dolorosa however is a complete departure from metal. Cold-wave blue sounds influenced by 80s post-punk and the variety of -wave splinters that formed in that decade. Bands like Sisters of Mercy, Virgin Prunes, Specimen (and other Batcave regulars) serve as pointers while building their own approach within a French revival of sorts. Sombre, passionate music with careful, often sparse, song writing; shimmering guitar notes, strong important bass lines, drums that pound the bass and crack the snare; and a palpable sense of detachment emphasising the cold in cold-wave." - Todestrieb Records
Debut mini-album of this promising band.

Esoteric Rock / Ornamental Metal. There are probably various influences like Peccatum, Arcturus, Korova,...

"7 hymns of dark, desolate black metal. For a journey that will take you deep, Deep down within chasms obscure. The nameless hosts of disease calling forth for the end of all things, We listen! We hear! We are DEATH!"
(Un)known from some demos on Meurtre Noire and later a split with Prevalent Resistance (Fin). Without doubt the best album from 2007, now made available on CD.

"Obscure black metal from the middle from Appalachia. Dissonant dark black metal with some twangy dreamy qualities accompanied by demented screams and shrieks. Four tracks including a cover of The Cure's "Lovesong" on a specially designed CD - split release with Graveless Slumber records." - Rusty Axe Records
29'59" lasting new MCD. This project is a well hidden gem from the US!

Tristram is a new instrumental, melancholic dark metal project with quiet parts as well as heavy climaxes. This is the first Tristram release, being a full-length. Recommended to say the least. Comes in a slipcase CD.

(The first release of the CD-label Cold Devotion, subdivision of Down The Road Productions. Both are run by the owner of the better known tape-label Insikt, which now also is a subdivision of Down The Road Productions.)

"Avantgarde Dark Metal from sweden, featuring members of ARMAGEDDA (rip) and BERGRAVEN ! This unconventional brainchild out of Sweden still borrows from the Black Metal range its members bring with it, however it surprises with crafty obscure and complex music, rich with songs and instrumentation. An unconventional and disturbing travel - easily drifting away from the usual metal genres. "Faceless Phenomena" means nothing that we can foresee, densly layered music, moving skillfully between fragility and powerful outbursts, graceful melodic and twisted imaginery. Impeccable individual riffs nail deep the mood, let you grow and also fall with the alluring songs. Try to imagine a mix of VEB BUENS ENDE, CODE and BERGRAVEN, it's time to make the decisive twist !
Digipack CD with Booklet, layout by Kim Sřlve of www.trineogkim.no (Mayhem, Darkthrone, Aeternus, DHG, Ved Buens Ende, Virus, Gallhammer, Enslaved…)" - Eisenwald

"Experience the haunting presence of Wither. Bleak and Depressive Black Funeral Doom with an unique atmosphere and distinguished Ambience. Grand malice perfectly served for your sorrow. Known from their split 12" MLP last year with Worship on Painiac Records." This is the MCD containing additional intro and outro tracks not available on the 7" version.

"One of this years finest outputs. Ljuset kicks off right after the album "Hejdĺ". As Melkor of Woods of Infinity himself stated. "Ljuset is our plunge into the unknown, a natural development for unnatural minds, severing the ties of what were and setting sail for the light at the horizon". 11 new tracks, including a new recorded version of "Summon the lord of blasphemy". Words fall short when you are opening your mouth towards this twisted masterpiece. Comes with 16 page full colour booklet. With paintings drawn by D-778 of Ritual of the cloven Hoof. Extra-ordinary (unorthodox) paintings, only body fluids have been used in order to produce his paintings. All lyrics are on Swedish (as always) except for "S.T.L.B" and "Across the fields of forever" which is an Edge of Sanity cover, and also some minor parts of some tracks are spoken/sung in English. A mad mans wet dream." - Total Holocaust Records

"Very long mini-album, with six tracks and clocking in at half an hour. This talented duo offer us here some very strange tracks: they are, of course, full of the depressive melodies and melancholic desperation that constitute their trademark sound, but the tracks are very twisted and obscure, done in the weird, sarcastic way that only Woods Of Infinity would dream of." First 3 songs are "normal" songs which are some of the better recent songs, next 3 are more experimental.

"A new brand of black metal. Think Bone Awl thrown into a blender with Mono and Health and to top it of the glimmering desolate guitar atmosphere of White Metal all packaged in one odd colorful package. Tiger Throat is a band." - Rusty Axe Records

A few stickers are left from the Joyless (Nor) / Dekadent Aesthetix (Rom) split 7" where it is included in, so you can also get them separately now.
Only 1 sticker per customer.. Here are the specifications:

- 100mm x 75mm (= 3.93" x 2.95") in size.
- Printed on strong PVC material.

"After the dwellings with The Serpent Bearer, Kaleidoscope stands again on its own feet and takes a glance to a controversial genre – avant-garde (black) metal has always divided opinions, although the musical field is nowadays wider than ever. Here are ten views on the topic:
Triptykon (= post-Celtic Frost) (Swi), Fleurety (Nor), Austere (Aus), Altar Of Plagues (Ire), Crooked Necks (= post-Frail) (USA), Black Majesty (Nor), Crystalline Darkness (Por), Coldworld (Ger), Saros (USA). An article “Vanguards of dark art” with Alcest (Fra), Hateful Abandon (post-Abandon & Basilisk) (UK) and In The Woods (Nor)...

So expect 48 pages of thoughts, musical journeys and artistic freedom."
One of the few still interesting printed zines around in my opinion.
