Limited Red Vinyl

Metallica circa 1986 was a force to be reckoned with, they were on their first really big tour after having secured the opening slot on Ozzy Osbourne’s Ultimate Sin tour. This highly coveted slot would propel the band to heights not yet awarded to the still up and coming Thrash metal movement. There were no cracks in this armor, just four talented musicians seizing an opportunity and taking great delight in delivering the goods night after night and concurring many new markets. This new release showcases an off night from the Ozzy tour where the band would get a headline gig in a smaller market.

Classic debut album by Tool!

For more than two years we’ve all been waiting and waiting and waiting for new music. And bands have been waiting and waiting and waiting to deliver it. For Bishops Green and their fans, it’s been even longer… These lovable canucks have been a tight unit throughout, and used the downtime from constant touring to pour their hearts and souls out into barrels of new songs that speak volumes about where they’ve traveled, who they are, and where they’re headed. Waiting to deliver it all to you has been excruciating! Well, we’ve all waited long enough! Pirates Press Records is incredibly thrilled to present “waiting”, a six song explosion of an EP - and another of many new releases in the pipe from this beloved Canadian powerhouse! Some of these tracks made their informal debut over the pandemic when the band played a livestreamed show and these songs instantly became fan favorites…so much so that fans are already singing the words! This is a testament to the connection that Bishops Green has with their fans and shows just how long they’ve been craving to hear something new from them. Bishops Green is locked and loaded, with their eyes on the prize! ...Waiting no more!

With their stunning debut, French art rockers Bruit= have dropped an early contender for album of the year", Prog exclaimed when the album was digitally released on Bandcamp in April 2021, and Neige from Alcest found it to be ,the best post rock I heard in a really long time". We couldn't agree more, but it would curtail this album's scope, grandeur and vision if it were contextualized solely within the post rock world. It certainly does ft in there _ but Bruit = are more than that, Bruit = are a class of their own. Bruit= have everything a quintessential post-rock act needs to have, from an excessively long album name to drawn out compositions driven by atmosphere, and from samples of dramatic spoken word recordings to immaculate climaxes led by soaring, delay-soaked guitars. However, for those willing to look past the genre tropes, there are subtle moments where the band effortlessly fows from atmospheric post-metal to free jazz, and from folktronica to neo-classical avant garde improv. Distorted Sound MAG hit the nail on the head in their 10/10 review of the album: ""The Machine Is Burning And..." is a rare example of humanity achieving something above and beyond the norm, surpassing what is surely possible in emphatic style_ it imposes no limitations upon itself and spirals into a cacophony of neatly woven musical styles_ here is an album that does everything at once, crafted by a band that understand not only how to consolidate frequencies and sounds, but also how to fuse together juxtaposed sounds without leaving any of the stitching exposed. The record is seamless constantly drawing our minds from one direction to another and challenging our understanding of what music is." The Machine is Burning_ is a record which despite its bleakness and its moments of immersive sadness somehow always retains a glimmer of hope, leaving the listener with a faint feeling that now everyone knows it CAN happen again!

Coming with a 28 pages booklet.
Ghost, one of the most esteemed and celebrated rock bands in the world today return with their fifth psalm, Impera, fronted by the newly anointed Papa Emeritus IV.

The new leader Papa IV, has stirred yet is not shaken. Building himself up to lead Ghost to further global domination. In his way are not only the vestiges of a global plague but his confidence as the person to deliver on the promise and messages of these songs. As we head into our third year of these ‘20s. the world is poised for new hope and new direction. And for this, legions of Ghost fans await Papa IV’s first moves.

Limited to 500 copies. Heaven Shall Burn are a German extreme metal band from Saalfeld, formed in 1996. The band consists of vocalist Marcus Bischoff, guitarists Maik Weichert and Alexander Dietz, bassist Eric Bischoff and drummer Christian Bass. So far they have released eight studio albums, as well as a number of iconic EPs. In 2013 their album "Veto" entered the German Album Charts at #2. Their most commercially successfull album which is called "Of Truth and Sacrifice", entered the German Album Charts at #1 in 2020. Antigone is a classic metalcore album which is looking for its peers! Many people consider this album as their best work! Heaven Shall Burn have always attracted attention with uncompromising heaviness and aggressiveness, but what the quintet offers here on "Antigone" really shoots the bird off. Razor-sharp riffing, a unerringly and grooving drum work, in addition a popping production, which puts the infernal, abysmally evil nagging of singer Marcus in the center.

Recorded Live On June 4th, 1994 At Castle Donington Park, United Kingdom

The true gods of the stoner underground music, The Melvins, released their album Stoner Witch in 1994. The album is one of their most successful efforts and an album where their musical capacities can be heard in the depth, powerful and experimental sound.

Lingua Ignota, the solo project of multidisciplinary artist Kristin Hayter, takes a radical, unflinching approach to themes of violence and vengeance in ways that are moving, brutal, and harrowing. Her music is intentionally situated at specific and strange intersections, incorporating elements of power electronics, death industrial, and black metal alongside baroque classical, spiritual minimalism and folk. Relentless intensity and soaring dramatic arcs are informed by Hayter?s background in classical music, and the major sonic locus of the project is her voice, a dynamic entity that rushes from unhinged screaming to lilting soprano to angular belting with an artistry and ferocity that has drawn comparisons to Diamanda Galas. She is notorious for confrontational live performances that can leave an audience breathless or in tears.

THE classic Metallica album is back on vinyl!!

This is the first official 2LP vinyl reissue after the release of the Rammstein box “XXI” in 2015.

Tool's debut EP!

Indie Recordings are excited to announce the release of a special version of the KVERLERTAK’s legendary debut album, spread over 6 x 7” singles! Strictly limited edition, Includes vinyl and an exclusive patch in a special box created exclusively for this release!!!

Special triple deluxe Colored Vinyl set commemorating 35 years of the iconic debut of masterful doom metal. Containing remastered audio, plus rare pre-epicus recordings from 1985 including the legendary ‘Witchcraft’ demo. Also includes 8 page booklet, A2 poster, & letter print from founder Leif Edling.

A Tzompantli, in bygone days, was a rack used to display human skulls, often of enemies or sacrifices, in several Mesoamerican civilizations. In 2022, Tzompantli is a beyond crushing Death Doom war march built on a bedrock of Native / Indigenous themes, rituals and history, illuminating the splendor, brutality and despair within.

Nearly three years after the band’s self-released EP, Tzompantli’s debut full length presents the first smoke-conjured specter to manifest materially. ‘Tlazcaltiliztli’, a ritual ceremony that translates to; ‘nourishing the fire and sun with blood’, is imbued with the spirit of Native inspiration that dwells deep within the heart and soul of the project and is skillfully weaved into a traditional bludgeoning framework of spine-severing savagery and melancholic anguish. On the ritualistic ‘Eltequi’ (to cut the chest open and extract the heart as an offering) the band’s unification of native / folk instrumentation and heaviness becomes one in the same, opening vast new horizons for where this sound can go.

‘Tlazcaltiliztli’ is dedicated, and an offering, to the indigenous peoples, nations & tribes of the North, South, East & West of the American continents. It marks a fearsome and spirited new vision for the Death Metal underground.

Entombed was inducted into the Swedish Music Hall of Fame in 2014 with the following motivation: "Hard Rock is just as typical of growing up in medium-sized Swedish towns as football and mopeds. Hard Rock is Swedish folk music with studded wrist bands instead of tasseled garters. After two decades of Anglo-Saxon hard rock a Swedish band, Entombed, became one of the world leaders in death metal. A subculture that has spread throughout the world, mutated in various forms, and after 20 years continues to be just as vital. Entombed is part of the heavier internationalization of Swedish popular music - all categories." The band was founded in 1987 under the name of Nihilist. With its catchy, versatile but still rock-hard music Entombed pioneered Scandinavian death metal, which was different from its American counterpart mainly by the characteristic, chainsaw-like guitar sound. The special sound they got by tuning down their guitars three full steps (to C or less), by using a maxed-out Boss Hm-2 Heavy Metal pedal, in combination with a guitar running through a Boss Ds-1 Distortion Pedal. The debut album "Left Hand Path" was released in 1990 and followed up the following year with "Clandestine" and “Wolverine Blues” in 1993. For the 25th anniversary of Dclxvi To Ride Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth is finally reissued and packaged as the band originally intended it.

On vinyl for the first time. Re-issue of Bear Mace's 2nd full-length - “Charred Field Of Slaughter”! Since forming in 2012, Chicago death metal quintet Bear Mace has mostly operated in the shadows. Influenced by Death, Bolt Thrower, and Massacre, the band made their presence known via a demo cassette and scattered live appearances. In 2017 the band released a debut full-length, Butchering The Colossus, leading to positive reviews and an opening slot for Tampa legends Massacre on their reunion tour. In 2020, Bear Mace unleashed their 2nd full length “Charred Field Of Slaughter” on August 14th 2020, and now Redefining Darkness has re-issued this monstrous album on CD with vinyl coming soon! Features current members of Novembers Doom, Wolvhammer, Black Sites, Pulchra Morte, Without Waves and ex-members of Nachtmystium and Immortal Bird.

Limited clear/green split Vinyl.New York-based Undeath have returned from their mutilated tomb to horrify and dominate death metal's insatiable masses once again. Their blessedly sick new album, It's Time... To Rise from the Grave, shows the reconfigured quintet_Kyle Beam (guitars), Alexander Jones (vocals), Tommy Wall (bass),Jared Welch (guitars) and Matt Browning (drums)_have retained their mind-infecting sonic savagery but weren't satisfied in their pursuit to improve it through wicked (yet studied) reformulation. Certainly, Undeath's 2021 Decibel flexi, Diemented Dissection, paved the way, but it's tracks like "Fiend for Corpses," "Rise from the Grave," and "The Funeral Within" that display Undeath's terrifyingly insane trajectory.Undeath traveled to Philadelphia to record It's Time... To Rise from the Grave with Scoops Dardaris at Headroom Studios in March-April 2021. The group spent two weeks tracking_a song a day almost. Dardaris rough-mixed on the fly during the recording sessions, and then required two more weeks after to finalize the mix. Not ones to sacrifice a working team, they brought on Arthur Rizk (CreepingDeath, Enforced) to master. The sonic goal was to get a frenetic, nearly off-the-rails production, but with a discernible, if slightly lived-in line through it.Think: Cannibal Corpse's Vile (Scott Burns) mixed with Carcass' Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious (Colin Richardson).It's Time... To Rise from the Grave isn't just an early contender for death metal album of 2022_it's destined to be a modern-day classic.
