Horrendous - The Chills Shipping Now! (01/01/2012)

Horrendous' 2010 demo titled "Sweet Blasphemies" was merely a brief showcasing of this band's tremendous potential. In addition to the CD-r version of the demo, two separate 200 copy pro tape pressings were made and sold; first via a cooperation with Dark Descent and Skeleton Plague then later through Dark Descent Records.

Horrendous' debut full-length titled "The Chills" is a full-on assault of the aural senses. Horrendous mixes HM-2 sound with unique melody and solos creating memorable and terrific song-writing . This is no "retro" band but a band that has clearly created a nine-song death metal masterpiece which ends with the epic nine-minute closer "The Eye of Madness."

Do not mistake this band for a clone of Entombed, Autopsy or Incantation. Doing this would be a great disservice to a masterful album and you would obviously miss out on what will be one of 2012's best death metal albums, hands down.

Cover art by Raul Gonzalez (Morbus Chron, Deceased, etc.) adorns this eight page booklet.

Vinyl version will follow this Spring.

Considered by many as Mortuary Drape's finest hour, 1997's "Secret Sudaria" is available once more in this jewel case edition featuring a 12-page full-color booklet.

Heresiarch - Hammer of Intransigence (10/28/2011)

"Imprecation of the failed and frightened; Drinking the intransigent bloodline of the gods..."

After destroying the weak with their Obsecrating the Global Holocaust demo, New Zealand's Heresiarch further advances their assault with unrivaled aural and visual intensity. Heresiarch's brand of black/death decimates life and Hammer of Intransigence is the soundtrack that foreshadows a destructive and apocalyptic future.

Six songs - 22 minutes; Hammer of Intransigence is an oppressive, hate-filled display documenting the bleak outcome of man. Prepare.

"Forging beyond death, the law..."

Anatomia/Burial Invocation - Decomposing Serenades 7" (09/15/2011)

Available now!

Two of the best doom-influenced death metal bands join forces to bring you two brand new crushing and suffocating tracks on this single 7". When conjuring up a split 7", the idea of Anatomia and Burial Invocation was an easy alliance. Both bands are known for similar yet signature styles which easily make for one of the best pairings in quite some time.

Anatomia delivers their brand of doom-laden material in the form of "Drawn Into the Abyss;" a five-minute beast of a hymn while Burial Invocation counters with the five and a half minute slab of ugliness titled "Obliterated In An Ignominious Grave." This is all packaged with equally disgusting artwork by Dilek.

The disgusting brown/black vinyl version is limited to 100 copies.
