EXECUTIONER’S MASK – “Despair Anthems” Out Now

The debut LP from EXECUTIONER’S MASK “Despair Anthems” is now out on CD/LP/Digital.  EXECUTIONER’S MASK is the dark post punk child of three unlikely suspects: Jay Gambit on vocals, Ryan Wilson lending both guitar and drum programming and Craig Mickle handling even more guitar. Offering a modern take on the classic blueprints set by bands like AFI, The Sisters Of Mercy and Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry.

STYGIAN BOUGH “Volume 1” Out Now

The debut STYGIAN BOUGH album “Volume I” is out now on CD/2LP and can now be streamed everywhere through all streaming platforms.  STYGIAN BOUGH is the monumental full on collaboration album between BELL WITCH & AERIAL RUIN and takes the alliance between the death/funeral doom metal titans and the ominous folk elegist (who appeared as a guest vocalist on all previous BELL WITCH albums) to a new apotheosis.

EXPANDER Annnounce New Album “Neuropunk Boostergang”

Austin, TX futuristic thrash metal entity EXPANDER have completed work on their new album “Neuropunk Boostergang” (now available for pre-order) out on CD/LP/Digital on Aug 21.

Originating from Austin, TX, EXPANDER has subverted traditional band trajectories to receive global recognition of their unique brand of futuristic metalpunk since forming in 2014. With their second full-length album, “Neuropunk Boostergang”, the group aggressively channels the anxieties foisted on us from oppressive systems using every weapon at their disposal: pummeling rhythms, transcendent melodies and wild vocal deliveries that keep listeners on guard for whatever might come crawling from the wastes next.

SPIRIT POSSESSION

SPIRIT POSSESSION have completed work on their self-titled debut album set for release on CD/LP/Digital on July 24.  SPIRIT POSSESSION is a new raw and erratic black heavy metal entity emerging from the old school origin depths.   They are a duo comprised of vocalist/guitarist S. Peacock (Ulthar, Mastery, Pandiscordin Necrogenesis) and A. Spungin (Ormus, Tarus) on drums and handmade synthesizers.

SPIRIT POSSESSION’s approach to their singular style of raw schizophrenic angular spiraling black metal explodes with razor thrashing guitars, blistering drum violence, commanding torturous vocals, and apocalyptic harsh noise. The self-titled SPIRIT POSSESSION debut album encompasses the…

The new OLD MAN GLOOM album “Seminar VIII: Light Of Meaning” is out now and can be streamed everywhere and is available on LP/Digital (CDs delayed until mid-late June because of plant closure due to ordered lockdown).  This is the predecessor to the other new OLD MAN GLOOM album “Seminar IX: Darkness Of Being” which came out a few months ago.  So now you can listen to them together if you want, one after the other, or you can even mix the tracks from both LPs into your own track listing order.  Hail Caleb Scofield.

BELL WITCH and AERIAL RUIN have completed work on their first collaborative release “Stygian Bough Volume I” set for release on CD/2xLP/Digital on June 26. Pre-order the album HERE.

With STYGIAN BOUGH, Bell Witch duo Dylan Desmond (bass/vocals) and Jesse Shreibman (drums/vocals/synthesizers) didn’t just team up (again) with dark folk elegist Erik Moggridge (guitars/vocals) of Aerial Ruin, they fully integrated the two outfits. While Moggridge has been a part of Bell Witch’s sonic fingerprint on all their prior records, perhaps most notably for his vocals on their previous full-length, “Mirror Reaper”, he’s now part of the very fabric that…
