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 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.

EXECUTIONER’S MASK announce their debut album “Despair Anthems” set for release on CD/LP/Digital on July 10 (pre-orders early June).  EXECUTIONER’S MASK is the dark post punk child of three unlikely suspects: Jay Gambit of the noise metal unit Crowhurst providing vocals, Ryan Wilson from the legendary Intestinal Disgorge lending both guitar and drum programming and LACE and Cop Warmth’s Craig Mickle handles 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.

Hailing from equal parts Texas and Philadelphia, 2018’s ‘True Blue’ demo was…

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…

The most devastating death-grind album of the year has landed and can be streamed everywhere. Featuring members from MORTIFERUM, Cerebral Rot, Fetid, and Magrudergrind, CAUSTIC WOUND’s debut LP resurrects the old-school death-grind spirit of the early ’90s (not exceeding 1992) and is a prime example of how such artisrty should be properly executed. CD/Digital now available along with the vinyl edition in the EU. Because of COVID-19, there has been a shipping delay from the plant for the vinyl headed to North America. All vinyl pre-orders through Merchtable will ship late April and vinyl through our webstore for Canadian customers late April as well.

The debut LP from Pacific Northwest death metal oddity WARP CHAMBER is now available on limited edition CD/LP/Digital and can be streamed through all digital outlets (please note, LPs ordered through our Merchtable store will be delayed in shipping until mid-late April because of stay at home county order due to virus).  WARP CHAMBER create a raw, nightmarish and twisted sonicscape of otherworldly cosmic death metal horror that attends to the likes of the old school Finnish, Swedish, and American death metal scenes while creating a putrid and celestial atmosphere through its abominable vision.  Listen below.
