Nobody said it's going to be easy. When ENTHRONE DARKNESS TRIUMPHANT was released an hithero obscure shadow emerged from the shadows of the Norwegian black metal underground and took the hearts of all fans of dark, aggressive and dramatic music by storm.

Dimmu Borgir became a synonym for the success of the most extreme and radical underground trend the heavy metal genre ever witnessed. Extensive touring and performances on all major european festivals showed the aesthetic power their majestic embodiment of evil wielded over the uninitiated. The charts of several european countries where confronted with the devil's music in undisguised splendour. Most of those fairytales are normally not destined to last forever. And I still hear the moanings of the self-styled underground elite about undue commercialisation, I still see the warning hands of morality, trying to ward of this satanic threat. Alas, none of these positions are going to last longer than the release of this album, the fourth in Dimmu Borgir's still young career.

They took the commercial success of its predecessor as an encouragement to delete all 'nice' elements from their future efforts. SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSION is an intense and passionate document of their uncompromising lifestyle and their spirituality beyond the articles of faith represented by society and religion. The extent of their dedication to their own universe is visible in every single song. Myriads of miniscule details form the greater, grandiose structures. Far from being onedimensional every song is at the same time pompous and relentless, tempting through its beauty and repulsive from its crushing heaviness. Between these apparent contradictions lies the power of this music, so that even the aforementioned warning hands of morality will turn around to see the head banging in a magical trance. Obviously it is not the godlike power of the fairytale's narrator, but hard work that made this album as perfect as it is. Especially the newfound members Astennu (guitar) and Mystis (keyboard) play an important role, they brought in the complexity that will make SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSION an album not to be removed from any player for quite a while. Also one special guest is to be found on these tracks.

During the recording session in the renowned The Abyss studio with the famous black metal producer Peter Tägtgren they brought in Borknagar's vocalist Simen Hestnæs (who also sang in Arcturus). His outstanding and eery singing is like the wailing of the infernal choir next to Shagrath's dark poetry. It' s save to say that black metal will not be the same after this album. Robert Müller (Hammer), December 1998

Doom is an English crust punk band from Birmingham, England, formed in 1987. Despite its short existence (though Doom is active on the live scene as of late), the band is considered pivotal in the rise of crust punk movement. They recorded for Peaceville Records and are cited as an early precursor to the grindcore style of heavy metal music, & are often compared with seminal act Discharge. Doom were also a favorite of BBC Radio DJ John Peel.

In its formative years, Peaceville had heard about Doom through word of mouth and asked if they were interested in contributing songs to the first compilation, "A Vile Peace". Doom went into the studio to record their first demo on 28 August 1987. Three songs were recorded, two of which appeared on "A Vile Peace".

On the strength of this first recording Peaceville asked Doom if they would record a full LP for them, which they agreed to do. In Feburary 1988, Doom went into the "Rich Bitch" studios and recorded 21 songs for the album, "War Crimes".

"Total Doom" was the band's second album, originally released in 1989, & was a collection of the "Police Bastard" EP, "War Crimes" LP, plus the "Bury the Debt - not the Dead" split release tracks.

The city of Santa Cruz, CA, is known for its boardwalk, hippie university, and The Lost Boys movie, drawing tourists and students from all over the globe, driving up the cost of living and pushing out long-lived independent businesses. As the new blood of Santa Cruz hardcore punk, Drain has a fiery, metal-tinged, thrashing hardcore sound. For fans of Power Trip, Take Offense, Turnstile, Cro-Mags, Judge, and Terror.

“We’re all living a unique historical period in 2020 in which we move away from each other, keep our distances, and lose touch,” explains frontman Kevin Calì. “Everyone feels that need to return to the light and get out of this moment that makes us feel imprisoned. That’s why we released ‘Lightbringers’ as the first song.”

He continues, “It was written and recorded during lockdown. We knew we wanted to come back to our fans with a track that could hit them hard, bringing back our very own sound from The Gift of Life record and modernizing it. The result is a positive, deep, and energetic song with tight, fast riffs but also some atmospheric and reflective moments in full Dreamshade style. It’s an emotional charge that hits you straight to the heart from the very first listen.”

Calì finishes, “The title speaks for itself. What better way to restore hope and strength in our listeners than a song with this vibe? The lyrics urge today’s generations to take care of one another and the beauty that surrounds us. It’s also an invitation for young people to reflect on the future. I believe we have a commitment to find a balance in life, to always try to improve ourselves, and take care of this Pale Blue Dot.”

The album’s title is inspired by Carl Sagan’s book Pale Blue Dot.
“We were looking for something that could hold the meaning of both the importance and the futility of certain values as we know them,” the band shares. “A distant look at humanity and our planet as a whole, as everything that’s important for us on Earth seems just so insignificant in the great scheme of things, compared to the universe. Selfishness and individualism have no place in the bigger picture, and this makes more and more sense to us as we wrote the record just before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of it was recorded and produced during lockdown, with a very different approach and experience than what we’re used to.”

The record was mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Jacob Hansen in Denmark, who also worked on 2013’s The Gift of Life.

The album includes two features — New York-based Italian pop singer Rose Villain and Darkest Hour’s John Henry.

The closing song “Save This” boasts a very special collaboration — the band included gang vocals from 517 Dreamshade fans from 70 different countries, all shared through WhatsApp. Because #technology.

Formed in 2016, ENFORCED picks up where Sepultura and Cro-Mags left off and infuses their own volatile, hardcore fury into the hardcore/thrash crossover sound of the late '80s. Fronted by a voice that could only belong to that of a madman and unloading nonstop blazing riffs and pummeling breakdowns in every track, the band demolishes everything in their path, leaving a trail of smoldering wreckage and pure decimation anywhere they perform.

ENFORCED's impending At The Walls LP features a remixed and remastered version of the 2017 demo and their "Retaliation" promo, and introduces two brand new songs to the mix. All tracks were recorded by Bob Quirk and mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy, Candy). In addition, Dwid Hellion (Integrity, Psywarfare) provides guest vocals to the track "Skinned Alive" who also created the apocalyptic album artwork for the LP.

Expect nothing but total war on stage from ENFORCED as they explode into 2019; a must-hear for fans of classic crossover/thrash from Nuclear Assault, Demolition Hammer, and Devastation, as well as modern shredders Skeletal Remains, Foreseen, and War Hungry.

A unique Entombed experience with original members Nicke Andersson, Uffe Cederlund and Alex Hellid performing their second album “Clandestine” for the album’s 25th Anniversary.

Threeman Recordings now presents Act 2: The Entombed performance – A concert in two acts based entirely on the Swedish band’s acclaimed album "Clandestine" from 1991. It is a unique concert where the pioneering album is played from beginning to end. From the opening "Living Dead" to closing "Through The Collonades ".

In the first act, the Malmö Symphony Orchestra and Choir performs Clandestine, arranged for orchestra by Thomas Von Wachenfeldt (Wachenfeldt), with the original members from Entombed sitting in as part of the ensemble. In the second act, the band performs the entire album live in the original version for the very first time.

(- It is amazing to experience the musical journey with an orchestra and we really enjoyed the experience, says Alex Hellid)

(- Allowing Entombed’s suggestive music to meet Symphony Orchestra and Choir is a very creative and exciting concept. Composer Thomas Von Wachenfeldt’s arrangement contains challenges for both orchestral musicians and for me as a conductor, as the starting point has been to interpret the "Clandestine" in a classical, symphonic format, rather than plank the music outright, says conductor Josef Rhedin who will conduct the concert.)

Clandestine

Seasoned Music journalist / TV host Per Sinding-Larsen, is one of those who has a special place in the heart for the album "Clandestine":

- With "Clandestine" Entombed surprised the hard rock audience with force, weight and musical variation on an album that still feels relevant and strong. "Clandestine" not only became an instant trendsetter for Swedish and foreign death metal. This is music that belongs in the place of honor among the classics of the great Swedish record shelves.

Entombed

Entombed was inducted into the Swedish Music Hall of Fame in 2014 with the following motivation:

"Hard rock is just as typical of growing up in medium-sized Swedish towns as football and mopeds. Hard rock is Swedish folk music with studded wrist bands instead of tasseled garters. After two decades of Anglo-Saxon hard-rock a Swedish band, Entombed, became one of the world leaders in death metal. A subculture that has spread throughout the world, mutated in various forms, and after 20 years continues to be just as vital. Entombed is part of the heavier internationalization of Swedish popular music - all categories."

The band was founded in 1987 under the name of Nihilist. With its catchy, versatile but still rock hard music Entombed pioneered Scandinavian death metal, which was different from its American counterpart mainly by the characteristic, chainsaw-like guitar sound. The special sound they got by tuning down their guitars three full steps (to C or less), by using a maxed out Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal, in combination with a guitar running through a Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal. The debut album "Left Hand Path" was released in 1990 and followed up the following year with "Clandestine".

For the 25th anniversary of Clandestine original members Nicke Andersson, Uffe Cederlund and Alex Hellid performed the album from start to finish together with the perfect fitting Robert Andersson (Vocals) and Edvin Aftonfalk (bass) of Morbus Chron. The evening also saw the Malmö Symphonic Orchestra featuring Entombed perform Thomas von Wachenfeldt’s stunning arrangement of Clandestine for orchestra.


FOLLOW THE UNFOLDING OF SWEDISH DEATH METAL
Thomas von Wachenfeldt on Entombed Clandestine album:

Paradigm exists on all levels. In all places, at all times. Sometimes they are easy to identify and evokes immediate effect. It could be a shot in Sarajevo or a bloody guillotine in Paris – events that change a whole world. But it may as well be an individual’s own life-world as, at a particular time and a special event on different levels, takes new turns. We carry everyone on such events.

In my own case, one of my biggest paradigm shifts occurred in a local market in neighboring town when I was 12 years old. Me and a friend stood and flown in a back with vinyl records and our eyes stuck on a suggestively cluttered album cover with a hugely cool logo. Entombed – Clandestine.

I had already enjoyed listening to heavy music and preferably listening to Hell Awaits on 33 rpm. My cassette with Metallica’s Master of Puppets, and Ride The Lightning on the B-side was always spinning in my Walkman. But when me and my friend came home to him and put the newly purchased album on the gramophone player, there came some horrific but still fascinating sounds through the speakers. This was something completely different – the true soundtrack to all the b and c horror movies I’ve ever seen. The atmosphere was hauntingly horrific. The record became my absolute favorite album and I immediately went to the record store in the nearby city of Hudiksvall. There I found the CD Left hand path and an Entombed t-shirt where “Satan älskar dig [Satan loves you]” was written on the back. I had found my first favorite band. And I was in my home village, basically alone with it. From Entombed, a search for new rushes began and behind the corner I found Morbid Angel, Deicide, Grave, Dismember and many others.

The years passed and during the second half of the 1990s, the death metal scene was poisoned by blues and rock. Unfortunately, Entombed was one of the, or to put it straight – the main reason, to cause Carcass, Gorefest and others to be demolished into blues or rock n ‘roll bands. I therefore left the metal scene and instead searched for darkness in Swedish folk music and the classical masters, which led me to study classical violin and composition for six years.

The years went by and during my career as a folk fiddler and violinist, the death metal scene recovered. My old favorite bands once again released music with artistic value and Entombed crowned a series of solid records with Serpent Saints. Over time, I searched back for my musical roots and started my own band Wachenfeldt. During the same time, I received a request from Tommy Rehn, who was planning a concert with his band Corroded and the Nordic Chamber Orchestra. I was asked to arrange for the orchestra and was asked what other band would suit the project. Without hesitation, I said Entombed and Clandestine. The tools I had received during my compositional studies helped me to understand Clandestine’s songs and structures on a deeper level. And beyond that there were obvious classical influences

Shortly thereafter Alex Hellid called me up and it showed that he had been thinking exactly the same thoughts. After about an hour in the phone, a marathon work began which took three months to complete. The mission was to “return” Clandestine’s songs into an orchestral form. My suspicions had proved true. The music of Clandestine was written after prolonged abuse of horror movies and, above all, the music by Christopher Young.

Initially, I thought that Entombed would play the songs as on the record and the orchestra would be there in the background. But after the first demo was sent to Alex, I realized that it would be the other way around. The orchestra should be in the forefront and the musicians in Entombed should sit among the other musicians in the symphony orchestra. This placed considerably higher demands on me as an organizer, as the arrangements would carry themselves and sound like regular symphonic music. But! This was far more interesting than it usually was with these kind of collaborations after Metallica and San Francisco’s symphony orchestra’s project S&M.

The work of arranging and orchestrating Clandestine has in many ways been an introspective journey. At the same time as I analyzed the smallest note at a micro level, many things have been revealed. First: Clandestine is at all levels nothing but an ingenious work and many times a thought has struck me. Did the four members Nicke, Alex, Uffe and Lasse act as mediators of a metaphysical power materialized by these four teenagers? Like the unyielding and fierce power that flowed through the young Mozart in his early work.

I have also realized that Clandestine have shaped a great deal of my aesthetic view and taste – regardless of whether I play classical music, Swedish folk music or death metal. I always come back to and have always been attracted to the gritty endless darkness.

FULL OF HELL make their Relapse debut with their most explosive album to date, Weeping Choir. Dynamic, pissed, and wholly urgent, the highly anticipated Weeping Choir is a definitive statement of intent by one of the underground’s most dynamic and virulent entities. FULL OF HELL have once again culled the extreme elements from hardcore, metal, and power electronics to redefine darkness and sheer brutality. Distorted guitars, and ominous, disparate electronics grind and gnash against rapid-fire drumming, as FULL OF HELL take themes of religion, loss, hatred, and set them ablaze. Recorded by the critically acclaimed Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio, Weeping Choir sees FULL OF HELL fully unleashed. Abrasive, confrontational, none equal!

'Sonoran Depravation' tears and chugs through 30+ minutes of crusty, doom-soaked death metal at its most infectious and uncompromising with a massive sound that calls to mind the classic Swedish buzz-saw attack of Dismember and Grave mixed with the impeccable groove of Obituary and Bolt Thrower. GATECREEPER are here to carry the death metal torch for a new generation and will shake your foundation to its core.

"Hearing this album reminds me seeing him live in Hamburg where he not only burned any doubts of genius creativity in the arts of music but also a lot of calories behind the mixer console.

An Examination of Violent Cinema Vol 1. was written and recorded in January 2018 in the midst of a snowed in 5-day lock down in the nether regions of a frigid North Carolinian winter. In the course of those vapid 120 hours, twelve songs emerged as testament to the rigor mortis of the vapid film industry and the thoroughly pedestrian worldview of hardcore. Taking inspiration from the cinema’s previous twelve months, Examination finds Graf Orlock in fine classic form; bizarre ideas haphazardly laid over even more pointlessly confrontational lyrical content. Contained therein is not only commentary on the weak and prosaic state of the last decades endlessly recycled and not-nearly-violent-enough releases, but also the question of how one could even contemplate the creation of “art” in a landscape so devoid of vision. If there will never again be the singularity of almost politicism and almost social commentary that was the beauty of 1987’s Predator, should we continue to push this same human sized ball of celluloid and shit interminably up the same hill? One could argue the irrationality of routinely ignoring empirical evidence would place us somewhere in the classification of “idiot”, “moron”, or in the formerly credible status of “imbecile”. This seems to apply in all regards to the difficult and confusing milieu we all currently inhabit. This is a study of those questions, through the ill-refined, gross, and frankly annoying lens of cinema-grind, a term some never seemed to notice we created ourselves to mock ourselves. Years on Graf Orlock still manages to confuse people either by motive or aim, and this hopefully continues that trajectory. In the fog of this shit-steam, the point remains clear-ish that perhaps the purpose here is to make something different out of the street refuse, the D-list VHS, or the synthetic and ironic world of the action movie. At its most reduced, perhaps it’s a pastiche of our heinously embarrassing cultural aspects, or at its best a critique of the past that attempts to look forward into a totally bleak future. As Benjamin said “Mechanical reproduction of a work of art . . . represents something new.” Who knows, but in order to find anything of value one must delve headlong into the breach (or torso in this case) and rip the innards out and see what can be salvaged.

The Cro-Mags are without a doubt, one of the most influential New York Hardcore bands of all time, and these are the first demos ever recorded by the sole founding member of the band. These are the demos that started it all!

In 1982, Harley started working on demos for his project. These demos would be the blueprint for the sound and style that would become the CRO-MAGS.

The tracks were recorded at the Song Shop in 1982-1983 and produced by Harley and Denise Mercedes of THE STIMULATORS. They were finished in the beginning of 1983 and where supposed to be released on Rat Cage Records. Due to disagreements about terms with THE STIMULATORS management and Dave Parsons from Rat Cage, the album was never released.

About that session, Harley recalls: "I had never tracked in the studio by myself and I didn't have a lot of recording experience. So far the only thing I had recorded was on drums with THE STIMULATORS. I tracked the drums first with no click track and then tried to follow along as best I could on the bass; then guitars and vocals, which was not easy without a steady click. I had to imagine what the guitars and bass where playing when I tracked the drums, and then try to keep up with the drums on bass and guitar afterwards. It was not easy."

With unflinching tenacity, the impenetrable heavy metal hardcore factory that is Hatebreed has brought forth yet another iron cast, sonic weapon with Weight Of The False Self. It comes as no surprise that their eighth, full length album is the result of the usual sweat and blood that have cemented Hatebreed's unique niche in the world of music for over two decades. Renowned for their ability to provide an intense and cathartic release for their fans, Hatebreed challenged their writing style through this album cycle in order to produce material that is exceptionally relatable in a contemporary world flooded with overstimulation, emotional dampening, and lack of social patience.

The Hunter is a concept EP. The Hunter – born in a war-torn land and destined to fight for survival since birth – faced all adversaries, man and beast alike. He mastered his inner demons through faith, battle and revenge. The Hunter’s blade led him through chaos to his final struggle with the false king. In his quest to become the King of All the Land, The Hunter’s journey is ageless, but almost forgotten.

The Hunter EP was recorded at Alpaca Ranch Recording by Chris Short (Alestorm). It was mixed by Jorg Uken at Soundlodge Studios (Anvil, Savage Blood, Powergame). The Artwork was created by famed artist Phil Lawvere (Celtic Frost, Kreator, Hirax).

As progenitors of some of the most inventive, uninhibited, dynamic music ever recorded, LA's Intronaut are a force to be reckoned with. These traits are expanded ever further on sixth full-length 'Fluid Existential Inversions', which features the most dramatic and epic sounds of their career.

Once again recorded with Josh Newell (Intronaut, Night Demon), the band also integrated keyboards for the first time, taking their love of mellotron and analog synths and making them a part of the Intronaut sound. When it came to mixing the record, the band called on Kurt Ballou (Converge, High on Fire), which resulted in a unique finished product that stands apart from their catalogue. The album is rife with striking contrasts, songs that veer from the punishingly violent to the achingly beautiful, often in seemingly jarring fashion, but there is very much a method to their madness, and dig a little deeper and everything makes sense.

Destructive power violence hardcore, The Second LP from Seattle-via-San Francisco-Via-Reno's IRON LUNG follows to the point of their abrasive blend of low end crushing heavy lumbering split with devastating and inventive fast thrash and bleak lyrics skewed through medical malpractice.

The Duo that is IRON LUNG sit at the forefront of the modern Power Violence resurgence, continually re-inventing the formula and pushing it to new extremes. IRON LUNG members were previously in ARTIMUS PYLE, GEHENNA, GOB and VAE VICTUS, Currently also play in PIG HEART TRANSPLANT, WALLS and SOCIETY NURSE and have toured extensively throughout the US, Australia, Europe, SE Asia and Japan.

Ukrainian modern metal leadersJINJER have announced the official release of the audio recordings from one of the last metal shows played on the planet before the global Covid-19 lockdown: their ferocious sold out Melbourne, Australia performance on March 5, 2020.

Their newly announced upcoming live album,Alive In Melbourne features stunning artwork by gifted JINJER fan Gabriel Nicoletti, includes 17 tracks in total (see tracklist below) and will be released on November 20, 2020 via Napalm Records.

Commented the band: "Some shows just deserve to be carved in stone and memorialized forever. This was the case regarding our first ever Australian tour in March 2020, where we hit a few milestones all at once: we finally played on every continent there is to play on, our first time in down under was a complete sellout and more importantly we experienced the love, passion and craziness we've always heard so much about the Australian crowd. Hell, there were even fans from New Zealand that showed up to the party. Now, after nearly half year of lockdown I can barely watch this footage without shedding a few tears. If any of you knew how much time, patience, nerves and effort we put into making this live album possible- you would probably be surprised we managed to pull it off at all. Adversity kept coming and coming, and coming at us again and again but here we are : Alive in Melbourne 2020 is real and it's coming out in all it's visual and sonic glory! Let's watch it, listen to it and let's remember how a real metal gig should look and sound: the sweat, the volume, the performance and the crowd … we need this feeling back! I am proud that we managed to capture this place in time and share it with you as our first official live album!"

Ukrainian progressive groove metal wrecking machine JINJER have returned with their long-awaited new album Macro and once again prove why the unique blend of singer Tatiana Shmayluk's beautifully aggressive harmonies and vocal hooks, and the bands sheer technical brilliance and precision have set them apart from the pack. From Macro's opening track 'On The Top', which showcases all of their trademark sounds at once, to the superior musicianship and delivery of tracks like 'Pausing Death' and 'Home Back', to the viciously heavy reggae induced vibe on 'Judgement (& Punishment)', JINJER are making it known that they are here to take over in a huge way.

"A cocktail of modern prog metal, 'Macro' is the album where Jinjer show us what the future of heaviness sounds like.” - Loudwire

How many bands manage to create something truly unique? Something that defies categories and boundaries and defy all expectation? Jinjer are the answer to all these questions and have been working frantically on a mind blowing soundscape only they can do justice for and one that shatters all comparisons. Their third album King of Everything catapulted this Ukrainian juggernaut in to the collective consciousness of the Metal universe and their upcoming EP Micro undoubtedly cements itself as another milestone in the history of Jinjer. The first single ‘Ape‘ is nothing short of a groove-laden kick in the guts wake up call, full of flickering sonic fury and melodic flashes, while the Micro EP in itself is an emotionally charged trip ranging from caressing to traumatizing and loaded with world class grooves that can only leave you wanting more.

Musically, Simon’s Quest is the origin of one of the most popular of Castlevania BMG, “Bloody Tears.” A staple of the sonic landscape for the series, here it is as the soundtrack to your daylight encounters across the dangerous Transylvanian landscape. It is one of the catchiest 8-Bit tunes to ever come out of this era of Konami games and an example of the best of what Video Game Music has to offer.
