SULPHUR AEON's second full-length, "Gateway To The Antisphere", will be released in cooperation between Imperium Productions and Ván Records on CD, LP and as digital download. The album was produced by Simon Werner who was already responsible for the sound of the previous recordings of the band. The mind blowing cover artwork (with the emphasis on "art") was created by Ola Larsson.

Since their latest album „Retaliation“, Obscenity went through many changes. The most obvious being the additions of their new vocalist Manuel Siewert (December Flower) and their new bass axe man David Speckmann (Burial Vault). Both are now presenting their recording-debuts with Obscenity on “Summoning The Circle”, accompanied by the band’s veterans Hendrik Bruns (guitar) and Sascha Knust (drums) as well as guitarist Christoph Weerts. The recordings for the new songs took place at the Soundlodge Studio (Anvil, God Dethroned, Dew-Scented) with longtime-partner Joerg Uken and in guitarist Christoph Weerts’ own studio while mixing and mastering were done by Christoph Brandes in his Iguana Studio (Necrophagist, Spheron, Maladie). The result speaks for itself and delivers punchy and brutal classic death metal at its meanest. This is the perfect start into 2019, which marks the band’s 30th year in history!

Six years have passed since “Mayhem Maniac Machine” was released, but the sounds of the shots fired out of this very effective, technical death metal weapon are still reverberating in the ear. Now, the Southern Germans prepare their next gunfire: “Dogma Anti God”. The band recorded the nine tracks together with producer Kristian „Kohle“ Kohlmannslehner (Aborted, Benighted) in his Kohlekeller Studio and created an album that is musically more open than its predecessor without losing DEADBORN’s uniqueness and recognition value. This dogma is irrevocable!

Revocation are one of the best technical metal bands you will ever hear, and this incredible debut makes you wonder just how the Hell these guys aren’t touring with other tech metal giants. It’s just that fantastic. Techincal metal is an overcrowded genre these days, mostly because of all the prententious, boring bands that only care about showing off their talent, yet here comes a band that really enjoy themselves (Heck, Davidson even shouts “GUITAR!” before playing one of this solos) and they aren’t even getting a slice of the damn cake – and mind you, that’s a huge cake!…

These guys later reaped much bigger fame under the name Revocation (six full-lengths released so far), but this recording here seems to deliver the goods in a slightly more convincing manner. Not that the Revocation repertoire is not worthy, on the contrary; the band have managed to rise to the very upper echelons of the technical/progressive thrash/death circuit in the past few years… It’s just that this opus shows a more original and a tad more creative stream of thought…

Originally operating under the moniker Cryptic Warning, Boston, Massachusetts extreme metal trio Revocation emerged in the mid-2000s armed with a super-technical thrash/death metal-style prizing virtuosity as much as heaviness and aggression. As Cryptic Warning, the band found favor with the metal underground via a pair of well-received demos and a full-length…

Perverseverance is the 7th full length album after nine years of active life and playing. It finds LIVIDITY on a quest for world domination. It´s a music with deep impact on human mind. The stories are shocking, majestic and disturbing compositions from the first note to the last one. This will be the ultimate shock album for the masses. "This is the album we have been striving to create our whole lives! Every riff, beat and pattern has meaning! A little slice from each album within each song! The perfect combination of grooves, grinds and breakdowns that will melt faces complimented with great studio production… We are very proud of this album!"

Immortal Souls is a melodic death metal band from Finland. This country is well-known for its amazing melodic death metal bands such as Children of Bodom, Kalmah, Norther, etc., but Immortal Souls are playing quite different music than these bands. They know how to make melodic sounds along with brutal and groove riffs…

Formative genetic material of death metal, this band formed in 1984 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and recorded its first album "Abominations Of Desolation" in 1986 (albeit not released until 1991), being inspired by Slayer but eventually moving on to more progressive works with the genre-definitive "Blessed Are the Sick" in 1991. Progressive, rhythmic, complex and evil death metal with lyrics well-crafted from Sumerian and Lovecraftian domains…

Napalm Death's fifth demo from 1985 was an important recording for Napalm Death being the last of their punk recordings and the first showing the bands transition into more extreme music. The demo has recieved much appreciation since its release and is one of the few Napalm Death demos available still today…

Guitarist Erik Rutan joins the fold on Morbid Angel's Domination and contributes several of his own compositions. The group's sound is better than ever and perhaps a bit more groove-oriented, but this is mostly standard Morbid Angel, with the typical problems: the bass drums are played too fast to be recorded properly and end up sounding like a fast clicking underneath the songs…

On November 23, San Diego-based deathgrind masters CATTLE DECAPITATION release their new rarities collection, "Medium Rarities", via Metal Blade Records. Featuring six previously unreleased pre-"Human Jerky" (1999) demos with frontman Travis Ryan on guitar (while also handling vocal duties), plus the long-sought-after "To Serve Man" (2002) bonus track "Rotting Children For Remote Viewing" — in addition to other rarities (including the six songs from 2005's split EP with CANINUS) — this compilation spans the band's 22-year-long career and is a must-have for any CATTLE DECAPITATION fan.

Hailing Symphony Masses – Ho Drakon Ho Megas as the first genuine Therion release may appear at first glance strange. After all the two preceding straightforward death metal efforts aren’t less legitimate. It isn’t either the big watershed Theli will be. The lineup is completely different than on Beyond Sanctorum, however Therion lineup has always been anecdotal and no musician here will last long anyway, even while remaining conscious Piotr Wawrzeniuck has been an important figure in Therion’s own little world…
