Misanthropist Abazagorath and Occultist’s Necro-thrashers Bloodstorm present 3 new unreleased tracks!

"Reissue of the long-sold out demo tape that Funeral Folk put out in an edition of 66 copies. These guys are getting a real name for themselves in the metal underground and this is a statement of intent that justifies that! This is some of the most filthy, disgusting stuff I've ever heard; one long track that goes from all-out black metal fuzz to passages of total low-end Doom to seriously disturbed ambient passages, all sounding like it was recorded on somebody's walkman in a dungeon somewhere. 20-odd minutes of totally harrowing bleakness. True Belgian nihilism!! Great three-panel foldout silver-on-black screenprinting by Tetedemort from France, all in a thick PVC sleeve. Grim artwork by the late great Aubrey Beardsley. 500 copies" - Label Description - Sold out from label!

"1991. We had been running a small indie label called Bad Vugum for a mere four years, but we genuinely felt we had found bands that made a difference, definitely in the budding Finnish scene at least. So in 1991 friends and even total strangers at gigs and festivals suddenly started telling us that the best two undiscovered bands come from a drab small town called Pori and that they both sounded exactly like they should be on Bad Vugum. Naturally our interest was piqued and we got to hear the self-released 7"s by these bands called Circle and Deep Turtle. Alas, we were not overly impressed. They’re still undeveloped, they still sound too much like their apparent musical heroes, and most importantly the songs aren’t strong enough, we convinced ourselves. To this day I still thank our lucky stars that Mr. Dassum of Deep Turtle, who recorded in the same small basement as Circle, called me and asked if we were at all interested in hearing some new Deep Turtle demos. Sure we were, and we sure got more than we bargained for: as a bonus he also included some new stuff from their friends Circle and we were blown away by both bands’ progression. We duly agreed to start releasing 7" EP’s at first, just to make sure the bands only put out all killer / no filler kinds of records, and to slowly build a following before any financially riskier album productions. During the next 18 months Circle for their part got two awesome EP’s out of their system, and absolutely floored live audiences all over the country with their high-intensity gigs. Which were more akin to hypnotic mass rituals, what with their glowing body paints, jarring lighting tricks and various blooddripping props. Sometime in 93 / 94 the guys and we both felt sure Circle were mature enough for a full-length. After unleashing them in the studio we got to hear quite a few mind-boggling new, slower songs they had concocted, then a few more. Then even more. We almost couldn’t believe our ears, it was becoming clear that a single LP could not contain these inspired goofballs’ creative output. Recently I discovered I still get goosebumps from listening closely to Meronia. Not just because I love just about every track on the album, but also because it brings me back to the days of trying to work out the best possible order for the songs. I’m always on a personal mission to "help" bands with that ( IMHO) essential dimension to any record, but Meronia’s sprawling bulk of 15 /16 tracks (we often added bonus tracks on the vinyl versions, even with single LP’s, just to mess with CD buyers) proved a daunting task. I spent literally days and weeks immersing myself in the music, switching and changing the song sequence every which way and those were the gruelling days of a double-deck cassette players, mind you. Then I spent hours on the phone with Circle’s Jussi, discussing and speculating what each track might "mean" in any particular order. I felt I truly lived on planet Meronia. In Finland, the album got rave reviews both in the underground zines and, somewhat surprisingly, mainstream press as well. Abroad, it opened some new doors in the underground, but surprisingly was not licensed for a foreign release. In those times small foreign labels still seemed to settle for 7" records for Circle. But it was still early days in what was later to become a global Circle industry as we know it - What is it now? Some 20 + albums, half of which on foreign labels? And whenever I talk to Jussi, Circle seem to have at least three albums already recorded and waiting for a release. They’ve sure succeeded in carving a respectable niche for themselves, while still taking chances and trying new things. Maximum respec’. To wrap this up, a funny Meronia anecdote. In the mid-90’s someone claiming to be an A& R executive for the David Geffen Company sent us a fax, complete with letterheads and everything, requesting a promo copy of Meronia. He wrote he was a big fan of the 7" stuff he had heard and was interested in checking out the band’s "album potential". We sent the CD, and waited for a reply. I mean c’mon, the label that made Sonic Youth huge, right? Well, since we didn’t hear anything, I first faxed the guy back, and then even called the number on the letterhead but it didn’t even connect... Oh the lengths resourceful Circle fans can go to when hunting for an import missing from their collection!" - Heikonen (Bad Vugum/BV 2 Produktions)

"Exploding walls of psychedelic guitars, "ingenious pop compositions", motorik krautrock, melodic harmonies, intensive riffs and ecstatic vocal performances? This album does NOT contain any of the things previously mentioned! Slow-moving abstract atmospherics, inspiring and determined wandering and a stagnant universe of winter are present on Circle's new double album MILJARD. New Wave of NWOFHWM! The album was produced by Mika Rättö. Rocking has been traded for some quiet reading on the couch at home". - Label Description

"Recorded live in Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, Charlottesville, VA (USA), September 19th 2007". - Label Description

"Circle is ever changing, ever Circular. On Rautatie the band - which following the introduction of guitarists J. & P. Jääskeläinen is now a six-piece - once again dives into uncharted waters of music, into a miasma of influences that feels vaguely familiar but, in an uncanny way, is not quite real. Rautatie is epic hard rock and colossal riffs that corrode into fragments of black metallic atonality over time. Occasionally the album’s majestic elements step aside and let sprinkles of athletic boogie take the center stage. Together the eight tracks on the album form a hard rocking bullet train, speeding ever onwards on a circular railroad to infinity". - Label Description

"Ektro Records is proud announce that a re-release of Circle's difficult to find album Taantumus is available NOW! This re-issue comes with updated album artwork and Veitsi, a nine-minute bonus track. Taantumus was originally released by Bad Vugum in 2001". - Label Description

"The mysterious acronym "NWOFHM" was revealed to the world for the first time in 2005 when this mysterious sequence of letters dominated the centerfold of the booklet of Tulikoira, a studio album by prolific Finnish rock band Circle. It is likely that the meaning of NWOFHM was initially nonsensical to most of Circle's listeners, but some of them may have been able to dig up the phrase "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" from the nethermost recesses of their helmets, and to deduct that this variation probably referred to a localized Finnish version of this 80's phenomenon - only over twenty years too late. "The New Wave of Finnish Heavy Metal" may sound pompous and far fetched, but listening to the album the label does sound quite appropriate. Tulikoira is an album that consists of only four tracks but manages to explore quite a few moods and styles during its run. Album opener Rautakäärme would be a beautiful hymn if there wasn't a metal band playing riffs at a breakneck speed behind the vocals. The second song - Tulilintu - is a relatively short burst of energy and high-pitched vocals bringing Judas Priest to mind. The rest of the album goes off a on completely different direction altogether, with closing track Puutiikeri being a 20+ minute avantgarde jam bookended by bursts of heavy metal riffing. (Eetormentor) EDITION 2009!!! NO BONUS TRACKS!!!" - Label Description

Greek unholy black metal split!

"Ektro Records (Pori, Finland) is releasing a live album from the legendary German rock group Faust. "Kleine Welt" is compiled from concerts of the year 2006. These avant-garde trailblazers continue their unique work that they started in 1970. Chaos, fear, irrationality, the grotesque, the absurd, darkness, surrealism and underground are all fitting definitions for Faust but still only modest attempts to describe one of the most notable rock bands in the world. Faust gave their best consideration when choosing the path, on which only a few have ventured". - Label Description

This cd is not a new album by Faustcoven. It is a cd-compilation of old and rare material of one of the darkest black doom metal hordes from Norway. This comp contains both demos, rehearsals and coversongs including Venom, Darkthrone and Cirith Ungol. In total, over 70 minutes of darkness. The past is a lie....

Truly 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.

Finnish/English expert metal. Features member of Horna.

Best raw Black Metal from Switzerland.

"Total satanic black metal assembly from Turkey. Limited to 500 handnumbered copies". - Label Description

"Picking up where 2008's An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood left off, Gnaw Their Tongues is back with nine new tracks of fearsome blackened orchestral chaos and abstract horror that still sounds like little else out there. On Dread, we're feeling an even heavier bass-assault compared to the other releases, and this is easily the heaviest Gnaw Their Tongues release yet. This monstrous, noxious bottom-end roar that skulks and slithers throughout the album suggests a foul fusion of Abruptum (which is still the closest reference point to Gnaw Their Tongue's black chaos) and Leonard Rosenman's most nightmarish film scores, piled in towering heaps of sadistic noise, warped orchestral strings, degraded samples, shrieking voices, and punishing lurching doom draped in suffocating atrmosphere. Hyper-abstract black metal sound-collage? Wagnerian avant-doom psychosis? That's one way of putting it, but Gnaw Their Tongues is ultimately impossible to pin down, defying simple categorization as this album plunges even deeper into a black pit of total cinematic horror, sexual perversion, and shapeless heaviosity". - Label Description

"A re-issue of the out-of-print 2004 monsterpiece from the Melbourne, Australian trio Grey Daturas. Originally released through the band's own Crashing Jets imprint, Dead In The Woods is a massive exhortation of lumbering metallic sludge rock, freely improvised amplifier noise and crushing riff splatter, and massive, sky-streaking psychedelic corrosion. The Crucial Blast re-issue of Dead In The Woods features a full remastering by Scott Hull at Visceral Sound, and will also come with a brand new packaging design via a 4-panel case printed by Stumptown Printers". - Label Description

"Unbelievably heavy and slow amplifier overload from France! Two long tracks of uber-doom which is seemingly devoid of any coherant structure and exists only to open up a black void in your stereo speakers through which to suck out your very soul. Habsyll sound to me like a less happy-go-lucky Khanate, or Monarch without the hipster irony. Totally morbid! Co-release with a bunch of other labels so loads of copies (well over 1000!). Lovely 8-panel digipaks with black-on-black printing". - Label Description

"Carnal Sadist Productions has officially released the Iguman cult's latest offering, "Rogati Kopitar" on compact disc. This is the first CSP cd release, and one of a rare occurrence. This is 4 tracks of Satanic doctrine, spit from the bowels of Montenegro. This is NOT for everyone!" - Label Description

"...this is the kind of misanthropic, isolationist black metal which revels in its own cryptic obscurity... a worthy addition to the lineage of misanthropic pagan black metal established by Burzum and carried on these days by bands like Abyssic Hate, Leviathan and Xasthur. And of course, it’s encouraging to find music this bleak and dark being made in England, which, it’s fair to say, has not been at the cutting edge of black metal evolution in recent decades" - Judas Kiss

The long waited split between IRAE / VERMEN is finally unleashed on the day they say the slave was born , three are the himns of Lusitanian Evilness coming from each band. For many, one of the best splits ever made in Lusitanian soil representing the very best of the audio propaganda against the slaves of him!

Limited edition of 1000 copies.

Limited to 1000 copies.

With lengthy looping, lurching angular songs with long segments of ambience and atmospherics littered with spurts of discordance and heft, all scattered with some somber cello work. It all comes together to form a very tense, foreboding record with an antagonistic, menacing self loathing. Erik Thomas (All That's Heavy.com)

One man rage fuelled Metal of Death. 9 tracks of pure HellHammer and Amebix worship with some heavy doom sections. Come with a 12 page illustrated booklet by A. Coelho.

"After a trippy, slap feedback filled (if not ultimately pointless) intro, it soon becomes clear as to what sort of bands Phillipino metal mongers Maniak worship. Within seconds, Black Thrashing Genocide transports you back to the early to mid 80s, when the 1st wave of Black Metal crawled kicking and screaming into existence. Much like Sabbat or Abigail - the Japanese ones, naturally - this is all about unashamedly aping the noisy, thrashy blackened sounds that were created by the likes of early Venom and Bathory, with a gnarly ejaculate of Sodom squirted into the mixing pot. In fact, you only need to add in a few virgins, goats, and unholy semen (regular semen just doesn't have the same piquancy), and you have Maniak's Raison d'être right there. The bass heavy mix does a lot to keep the rumbling, dirty sound these guys create uncomfortable to listen to (as it should be, I might add), with noisy riffs squealing and writhing out chaotic songs about satan, thunder, goats and raising your damn fist for METAL. Having déjà vu? Think you've heard it all before? Of course you have, but it doesn't stop it from being thoroughly enjoyable. They certainly have the enthusiasm and nuts to back it up, not to mention the riffs!" - Metalcrypt

Canadian Black Metal D-Beat!!! An essential anthology CD featuring his killer 2 demo tapes originally released in 2005-06, with BONUS TRACKS! Minimal HC D-beat crashes against harsh guitars and necro vocals to bring about the wall of blasphemous Blackened aggression. Yes, the relentless nightmare continues.

"Ektro Records is thrilled to release Tulemme sokeiksi ("We’re Becoming Blind"), a retrospective CD compiling material by Musiikkivyöry ("Music Avalanche"). In addition to being a curious chapter in the endless saga of the post-punk era, this DIY document is also one of the finer, more elusive threads of the global cassette-culture scene. Originally issued in 1981, Musiikkivyöry’s two tapes were the work of Mika Taanila, a 15-year-old who would grow up to become an internationally acclaimed filmmaker. This compilation features the key tracks from those micro-edition bedroom recordings. Musiikkivyöry’s output is typical of the early ’80s’ raw zeitgeist, but with a timeless, teen-anguish twist. Taanila heartily embraces punk’s total do-it-yourself ideal, yet his style is light years away from the conventional guitar groups of the day: Atonal riffs, home electronics, randomly cut-up radio sounds, noise, and primitive industrial weltschmertz blend into a rough, highly personalized whole". - Label Description

The highly anticipated third album from the enigmatic Nekrasov, offering up some of the highest quality ambient noise/black metal in the land for a truly terrifying experience!

The only reason one can speculate why Nekrasov is a self-released album considering that its brand of towering, infernal, low-fi-yet-epic, raw-yet-atmospheric, power-electronics/death ambient-spiced contemporary black metal equals the quality of several bigger names in this scene, is that the people behind it are trying to stay kvlt. Thankfully not kvlt enough as this cd found its way to Terrorizer HQ and to these grateful ears.The band's website, on the other hand, claims that it is aold out already. The abstract parts on 'The Form….' Don't feel like atmospheric segues serving as mere introductions to the bestial tracks, which, in turn, echo classic BM and transcended it with a killer combination of cavernous treble onslaught, paper thin snares and mono cymbals juxtaposed on thunderous kick, all forming unconventional rhythms. One obvious highlight is 'Today The Sun A Golden Illusion', tumbling down all components compressed into a singular drone. (TERRORIZER ISSUE 174)

"Nekrasov emerges out of the Sherbrooke Forest in Australia to bring us more excellent Ambient/black/void metal. Humiliation comes from nowhere and bring forth their ferocious take on harsh noise, ambient and power electronics. 'We follow a tradition of misanthropy and deliberate self isolation as preservation' is how they present themselves. Both artists do solo tracks and collaborate.". - Label Description

Re-press of the first MCD. Midpaced True Finnish Black Metal!

Grind/Noisecore legends from England, Sore Throat, take on Brazilian weirdo's New York Against The Belzebu. 383483 tracks and plenty of fun racket. Highly recommended

Debute full length of genocidal blackened deadly doom. No groove, no ambient-drone, etc. Just obscure discordant vibrating guitars, bass, drums and vocals creating real songs, pure soundtrack for withnessing crucifixion. Band known from split 10" w/ Worship, split 7" w/ Mournful Congregation, split LP with AM, V/A Crushing The Holy Trinity, etc.. This album is all new material and certainly progression forward, yet remaining true to unpleasantly rough production values and non-entertaining approach.

"Ukranian Black thrashing heathen metal! Tight and melodic thrashing rage which sounds like a fusion of Slayer and Dissection with pagan influences". - Label Description

Bestial Black/Death Metal, killer songs and sound.

On this CD the band presents 9 tracks captured on Equinoxes and Solstices rituals preformed during the years of 2005/2006. Limited to 500 handnumbered copies. Raw Italian BM!

Best of compilation of raw Italian Black Metal!

3 way split of American Black Metal bands.

With new line-up, ex- Uncreastion´s Dawn continues where they left in "Death´s Tyranny" album. Going further into insanity of obscure and technical guitar riffs and possessed roaring vocals. This is black metal outside the copycat scene and shallow imitators etc. You will hear echoes of Grand Belial´s Key, Mayhem, Morbid Angel, and much more, with result being nothing but 100% Uncelestial.

Finnish Black Metal! Sold out from label and most other places.

Unholy sharp Black Metal with a ritualistic edge, meticulously crafted has is should be. "Black Metal is a tool for a greater goal. There should be no personal gratification in it". Comes in really nice black package with no info.

Dedicated to the members of the National Armed Resistance in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraina (1940 - 1960s).

"First full-length album by this Glasgow-based post-goth trio, and one of my absolute favourite At War releases ever! Building on their two-track CDr on Kovorox from a couple of years ago, Vom have come out with a much more attractive proposition than the metal/krautrock hybrid which was going on there; this album is much more focussed, dark and heavy. In fact it's as brooding and dripping with dark atmosphere as anything I've heard released in ages. Like a hybrid of Scream-era Siouxsie And The Banshees, early X-Mal Deustchland and the first Killing Joke LP, with vocals buried deep in the mix and heavily distorted (think Ramleh's early post-PE stage), Vom reference a lot of music yet sound nothing like you've ever heard. Total intensity and they deserve to be huge; hopefully this will be the first step on the jourey. 500 copies, in gatefold mini LP-style sleeves, with art by the excellent Fred Ressler (check him out here:www.outsiderart.co.uk/ressler.htm)" - Label Description

Forget everything you knew of Brazilian Black Metal of these days and check this debut full-length from the VULTURINE horde! Formed in 2001 by the members who were actually active in various bands since early 90's, they have unleashed 3 demo-tapes and a 7”EP, which introduced the underground an inspired blend of early Norwegian and Greek styles, performed with sophistication and surprising quality. In the year 2008 this album was spawned by the forces of Brazilian label GOAT MUSIC, limited just to 500 copies (now sold-out), which is almost nothing for the material of such level. Morethat, general amount of the first pressing was spread right in Brazil and only very few distributors world-wide got some copies in limited amounts. By this inevitable second edition, NOMOS DEI are proud to introduce a true piece of black perfection from the deepest pits of underground to wider public. Re-released with re-worked artwork, including English part of the lyrics.

Extreme Polish Black Metal. Limited to 1000 handnumbered copies!

Yet another bizarre, macabre, but ultimately amazing black metal offering from Sweden's Woods of Infinity.

Old School German black metal featuring Taaken of ODAL.

"New collection of long out-of-print demos from the French master of bedroom black metal, ZBT! This is totally raw stuff, utterly devoid of production values and often, song structure. This disc comprises some of ZBT's more considered, "musical" demos, from the repetitive dirge of "Primitive Era", the unrestrained wail and incoherence of "Apocalypse" to the thrash-esque precise riffing of "El Borak". While this is often a difficult listen, the riffs are fucking great - opener "In Your Grave" is total Vulcano/Sarcofago-style South American-influenced filth - and the underground attitude and amateurish sound contributes to the true black metal atmosphere that so may lack these days. ZBT is obviously influenced by Les Legiones Noires, with jarring tremolo guitar, off-kilter production and is as mysterious and just plain weird as those bands were. For fans of bedroom BM like Striborg or cult LLN such as Mutiilation, Belketre etc. Classic B&W art in tribute to the old masters! This is a full CD, NOT CDr". - Label Description
