VASAELETH – Complete Work On “All Uproarious Darkness”
Underground death metal plague VASAELETH have completed work on their new release “All Uproarious Darkness”.
Following up their “Crypt Born & Tethered To Ruin” abomination, the duo that comprise VASAELETH have delivered their most menacing work yet of pure, raw unbridled death metal terror. While always encapsulating the old-school primal ancient death metal spirit, with “All Uproarious Darkness” VASAELETH display a singularity and characteristic underground death metal aesthetic and distinctiveness that solely defines them and separates them in their own realm. The raw and uncanny atmosphere “All Uproarious Darkness” (which features cover art painted by Antichrist Kramer, his…

MORNE – Complete Work On New Album
Boston, Massachusetts epic crust doom metal band MORNE have completed work on their new album “Shadows”.
With “Shadows”, the band’s third monolithic release, MORNE have created their darkest and bleakest album yet. Known for creating a conjuncture where massive atmosphere aligns itself with vicious crust, colossal doom, and a touch of post rock and psychedelia, “Shadows” sees the band strip their sound back a bit more to deliver a more meticulous and introverted offering while taking their cinematic heaviness to the next level. More dirge-like and crawling where any kind of semblance of hope becomes faint and even…

MAN’S GIN – Complete Work On “Rebellion Hymns”
After the many trials and tribulations that befell the manifestation of their new album, MAN’S GIN have finally completed work on their new album “Rebellion Hymns”.
Helmed by COBALT multi-instrumentalist Erik Wunder, who initially conceived MAN’S GIN ten or so years ago in Colorado prior to moving to Brooklyn NY, “Rebellion Hymns” comes across as a much more epic, sprawling, darker and heavier opus than the band’s “Smiling Dogs” debut. Where “Smiling Dogs” presented itself as an ode to barren American landscapes and as hymns paying homage to the bottle, “Rebellion Hymns” is a more diversified and devastating output…
GEVURAH and LIAR IN WAIT Releases Now Available To Order
The new debut releases by GEVURAH and LIAR IN WAIT are now available to order through our website prior to their official May 28th release date. Montreal, Canada’s GEVURAH play lacerating vitriolic religious black metal giving praise to the upcoming dark aeon while Minneapolis/Chicago’s LIAR IN WAIT indulge in the morose sounds inspired by the classic goth/darkwave movement heralded by the likes of The Cure, Fields Of The Nephilim, Sisters Of Mercy, and modern-day bands such as Cold Cave and Soror Dolorosa. Never stop the sadness.
