SPERM OF ANTICHRIST - Blight And Darkness (CASSETTE)

From HHR

Out now on HHR, professionally manufactured cassettes with RED PRINT on black shells (factory sealed), no home-dubbed junk. This RE-PRESS has a louder/better sound than the first pressing of black shells with white print.
One of the finer outputs of American Black Metal in more recent years...
SPERM OF ANTICHRIST conjure forth a down-tuned, vulgar offering in the vein of Drawing Down the Moon mixed with Satanic Blood. With four hypnotic hymns to disease, death and devil worship, "Blight and Darkness" stands as their debut release, with further invocations yet to come...

SANGUIS IMPEREM/NOCTURNAL BLOOD SPLIT LP


(Description by J. Campbell)

Despite decades of evidence to the contrary, there is an often-voiced misconception that the environment of Southern California is not conducive to the creation of sincerely dark Black and Death Metal. Seen through the camera lens, the Los Angeles area appears too commercial, too sterile, and too artificial. Yet beneath the sun drenched skies, the entire geographical region seethes with the violence and sickness of a region that is awaiting the first outbreak of the impending apocalypse. Disease ridden and consumed by warfare, this area has already welcomed the coming dark age and radiates nihilistic decadence unlike any other geographic region in the world. This atmosphere is perfectly captured by the two bands on this split release, and the image it produces is of a world precariously balanced at the precipice of its own ruin. Importantly, the bands on this split have contributed extraordinarily strong material for this release. Perhaps it is because both bands are still in their primordial stages and therefore still feel the need to prove themselves with every release or perhaps it is because of the close relationship between the members of Nocturnal Blood and Sanguis Imperem; whatever the reason, the music presented here is the finest that both bands have yet unleashed. Although the foci of the bands may be distinct, there is an intensity that unifies the two and makes for a cohesive split LP. Nocturnal Blood is another outpouring of malefic energy by the same tormented mind that created Hate Kommand and Nuclear Desecration. With this release, Nocturnal Blood pushes this vision of unrelenting evil ever forward beyond anything the band has previously concocted. This is among the most unsettling and atrocious Black Death that the U.S. has produced in years. Sanguis Imperem, members of which often perform as live session members for Nocturnal Blood (which is otherwise a one-man project) and behind Damon Bloodstorm for the Holocaust Wolves of the Apocalypse gigs in the United States, has been among the most promising U.S. death Metal acts since the release of their incredible mCD, “The Stagnation of Centuries.” With the tracks on this release, Sanguis Imperem continue to construct intricate and impenetrable walls of Death Metal terror in their uniquely martial style. Clearly drawing inspiration from Incantation and Disciples of Mockery, Sanguis Imperem integrate into their work a sense of strength and warfare that renders it among the most powerful in the current Death Metal scene. The result is epic, victorious, and devastating and the tracks on this split expand the boundaries of Sanguis Imperem’s conquests. Both of these bands are poised to dominate the U.S. scene in coming years and this split presents each at the apex of their power.



Nwn has got some KVLT shit right now. Buy it 

Volahn "Dimensiones del Trance Kosmico" LP

taken from NWN

OUT NOW! Volahn "Dimensiones del Trance Kosmico" LP (KLX-016) An instant classic. Black metal of the truest spirit. Volahn makes their first statement in music, and the voice virtually silences everything else. It is familiar, deep - what is said has a necessary and true meaning. Anyone who experienced Volahn on their recent US Tour knows what to expect: black metal that competes on every level. You can hear that the music is created with the utmost taste and knowledge of what makes black metal effective. Here you have influences from early Dodheimsgard and Blut Aus Nord, Les Legiones Noires, Ulver, Xibalba, as well as Ashdautas and the other Black Twilight related projects from Long Beach area in California. Although the wide range of inspiration creates a diverse form of black metal, the execution is concise and done with masterful technicality. Volahn are also effective in transcending the context from which they come. The music is recorded in 2008 but sounds of an ancient spirit that has faded long ago. The music is contemporary, but it is lyrically concerned with ancient cultures, rituals, and a time when the spirit world was only a knife or drug away. The music is new, but it will mean the same thing now as it did then, in 4 hours, and in ten years. Rest assured that in listening to 'Dimensiones' you are listening to timeless black metal. The heavy weight LP comes in a handsome all black with silver print jacket. Included are insert and album poster.

KING DIAMOND - Spiders Lullaby (Demo Lp)




KING DIAMOND - Spiders Lullaby (Demo Lp): "Great quality unofficial vinyl LP release on TRASH colored wax with insert featuring lyrics and an awesome HUGE (24” x 36”) full color poster. Limited stock from “Hail the King Records” in United Kingdom, BUY NOW OR CRY LATER!!!!
The DEMO RECORDING most people do not even know exists! This is RAW but great sounding and really adds a different feel to the “The Spider's Lullabye' album which is quite possibly the most underrated King Diamond album. Recorded with a drum machine somewhere between 1990 and 1995 when the band left Roadrunner and were shopping around for a new record label to release “The Spider's Lullabye' known today. The audio was taken directly from a leaked source tape ensuring best sound quality possible."

PROFANATICA - Profanatitas De Domonatia




PROFANATICA - Profanatitas De Domonatia: "COLLECTOR'S DELUXE PICTURE LP: Picture Disc in custom outer cover with the 'Angel' symbol die cut in the front side of the jacket. Comes with large 18' x 24' poster with different artwork from the regular LP edition. VIEW POSTER
LAST COPIES! Easily the best fucking Black Metal album of 2007! Much awaited full length studio album from one of the most influential and original godfathers of extreme Black Metal. Spilling holy fucking blood with 10 ruthlessly scouring Profanatica signature style hymns, 'Profanatitas De Domonatia' is a continuation from where the black cult vanished in 1992. Profanatica vomit on your god and shit on your so-called Black Metal!!
Listen to Profanatica samples & view their artist profile HERE"

Review from Nathan T. Birk of METAL MANIACS:
"Profanatica: the original masters of mesmerizing filth, barbaric simplicity, heavy metal's minimal-is-maximal ideal alternately taken to its most retarded and most enlightened end(s). No introduction should be necessary.
Alas, since the band's original dissolution in 1992 and vocalist/drummer Paul Ledney subsequently sallying forth with the more concertedly primitive Havohej, only two releases of new Profanatica recordings resulted - one a two-song 7", the other a download track - leaving the promise/premise of a Profanatica full-length otherwise unfulfilled. Enter the overwhelmingly UG-anticipated Profanatitas De Domonatia, the band's official debut album following their sporadic rebirth at the beginning of this millennium. Does it meet expectations? Exceed them, or fail them? How high do those expectations need to be, anyway? Only you can decide, which ultimately hinges upon how proportionally fanatical you are about Profanatica.
This much is certain, and from as coolly biased a perspective as possible: Profanatitas is everything a Profanatica full-length record should be, no more and no less. It immediately sounds exactly like Profanatica, yet never a whiff of total deja vu. It is strict and sleazy, militant yet molten. Its waves of unfettered filth wash over you with a stench of familiarity, only because very few bands ever could milk lock-step simplicity quite like this. If anything, this is Profanatica at their "heaviest," the guitar/bass chunder impossibly thick and molasses-like, and rarely has Ledney's paradigmatic vocal blasphemy ever sounded this possessed, this stretched into the shit-strewn sewers of black metal's primeval underbelly."
