Limited colour variant "battlefield aftermath with blood & dirt swirl"Following their 2020 debut, Ruin, FORETOKEN's latest album sees the group expand upon their foundations of meticulously lofty soundscapes, mythological narratives, and elaborate musicianship. Utilizing traditional narratives of myths, legends, and folklore from a wide range of Western and Middle Eastern origins, Triumphs examines the ignored collateral damage of the cost of victory through these established mythos.Taking musical inspiration from melodic and tech death metal, as well as power, folk and black metal, Foretoken's core sound on Triumphs is bolstered by subtle and captivating use of traditionally Scandinavian, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern instruments for atmospheric depth. Reunited once again with Hannes Grossmann (Hate Eternal, Alkaloid, Obscura, Necrophagist, Blotted Science, and Triptykon) on drums and boasting a guest guitar appearance by The Black Dahlia Murder's Brandon Ellis, FORETOKEN's technical prowess shines through without overpowering any of the nine songs' rhythmic charge.Triumphs was penned throughout 2021 by both Steve Redmond (guitar and orchestration) and Dan Cooley (vocals), with the pair settling on eight original compositions and a cover of Naglfar's I Am Vengeance. Grossmann then commenced drum tracking at his own studio, Mordor Sounds, with guitars recorded by Redmond himself and vocals captured at Trepan Studios by Tony Petrocelly, before mixing and mastering duties were placed in theaccomplished hands of Jacob Hansen (Arch Enemy, Fleshgod Apocalypse, The BlackDahlia Murder, and more) at Hansen Studios. Visually tied together by portrait artist Tomas Honz's detailed cover painting, depicting aprotagonist's journey in the aftermath of battle, Triumphs aesthetic component is a symbolic embodiment of the duo's enduring fascination with historial consequence via a folkloric lens. Taking fables and fantasy to extreme sonic heights, FORETOKEN's Triumphs is as lofty in ambition as it is a...

Ltd. red/smoke vinyl.Following the release of their acclaimed 2020 debut album, Echoes From Deep November, Connecticut, US melodic death / doom group FIRES IN THE DISTANCE are set to return in2023 with their much anticipated sophomore album, Air Not Meant For Us.On their second long player, FIRES IN THE DISTANCE further expand on their musical foundations of wistful melodicism, crushingly heavy guitar work and intricate atmospherics.Across Air Not Meant For Us' six tracks, FIRES IN THE DISTANCE tie together intensely personal ruminations on mental health and themes of existentialism in the form of mortalitysalience, without losing sight of the importance of perseverance. Teaming up with Salt Lake City producer Randy Slaugh (Devin Townsend, Tesseract, WhiteMoth Black Butterfly), FIRES IN THE DISTANCE's chief songwriter Yegor Savonin (composition, guitars, programming, lyrics) sought to reach even greater dynamics within the band's core sound of melodic death and doom metal. With live orchestration in the form of violas, violins, cellos, as well as piano work, proving to be an incredibly fruitful collaborative process for both band and producer.

Start digging your bomb shelters: WEREWOLVES are releasing their third full-length album ‘From the Cave to the Grave’ 24th June 2022. "‘From The Cave to The Grave’ keeps up the searing pace of the first two WEREWOLVES albums, with a mix of black and death metal and unprecedented aggression that is coalescing into a style of its own. Opener ‘Self-Help Book Burning’ kicks the door in Hate Eternal-style before deforming into a blackened ending worthy of Marduk. It’s followed by stadium crowd-pleaser ‘We Are Better Than You’, blaster ‘All the Better to Eat You With’, and social credit score-destroyer ‘Crushing Heaven’s Mandate’. ‘Harvest of the Skulls’ is an ode to the horror of genocide and the rest of the album blasts through to closing threat ‘Watch Your Mouth’, leaving you to enjoy your ringing ears and mild trauma.

Yatra have signed with Prosthetic Records, and will release a new full length in summer 2022, to be followed with extensive touring of America and Europe, crushing as many stages and festivals as possible. Yatra’s intense live performance is not to be missed.

Limited "Bloody Kuru" Colored Vinyl.Formed in 2007 in the Dolomite Alps region of Italy with a deep admiration for their native country's hardcore punk luminaries in La Quiete and Raein, as well as eighties and nineties cult heroes in Negazione, Wretched and Indigesti. STORMO's steady rise from unassuming beginnings has been one of consistently stirring song writing.Having amassed over 400 shows across Europe and the UK - including support slots to Converge, Full of Hell and La Dispute, as well as appearances at Fluff Fest - STORMO's next chapter sees the band fully come of age.Lyrically, Endocannibalismo was written entirely in the band's native tongue; partly as a byproduct of the albums nocturnal and instinctive writing process and partly in honour of their history as a band. Recorded and mixed by Giulio Favero (Zu) for mixing before being placed in the hands of Giovanni Versari at La Maesta for mastering,Endocannibalismo's 11 tracks possess a crystalline clarity to service STORMO's surging blastbeats, spiralling rhythms and noise punk cacophony, whilst staying true to the each songs deep seated primal nature.Seeking to tie together the whole process visually, STORMO took to artificialintelligence when creating Endocannibalismo's art. Utilising specific prompts, the AI render was put through stages of mutation before culminating in its final form. A haunting graphic representation of living beings in a state of constant death and rebirth.

Seaside Swirl Vinyl, limited to 500 copies.In the two years since their last full length outing, Let There Be Nothing, JUDICATOR have returned from collective and personal turmoil brought on by both the Covid-19 pandemic and foundational lineup changes.

Rebel Wizard’s The Warning of Three is the vinyl collection of digital only releases from Australian wizard musician, Nksv. The EPs: The Warning of One, Great addictions to blindingly dark, worldly life and Hark! Hark! Hark! were originally released 2017-2019.

Languish is a band that has relied on speed to deliver their message in the most caustic and devastating way possible, but conversely they’ve taken their time to reach the point they’re now at; they stand on the precipice of releasing their third studio album, Feeding The Flames of Annihilation. World events forced a creative go-slow which granted them time to ‘hyperfocus’ on crafting a sonically pernicious 11-track ode to human beings accelerating their own demise. Despite the album being swathed in nihilism, the occasional glimmer of optimism pushes through in the form of class solidarity and hopeful resistance.

Silver withr ed splatter vinyl!

Hailing from the vermin-saturated remains of upstate South Carolina, Slugcrust are preparing to release their debut full length, Ecocide, via Prosthetic Records this summer. Featuring members of Wvrm, Slugcrust embodies true Southern grind in all its grimy, punishing glory. With two ferocious EPs already under their belts, the breakneck speed with which Slugcrust operate gives a fair indicator of their approach. However, their focus isn’t compromised by their accelerated work ethic. Drawing from various literary inspirations the political issues at the heart of Slugcrust’s output is given a darkly poetic twist.

Clear Vinyl.More than two decades deep, and preparing to release their eighth studio album, PSYCROPTIC are in fine fettle. The follow up to 2018's As The Kingdom Drowns is on the horizon, and Divine Council sees the Australian band ready to push theircreative boundaries in new ways as part of their ethos to always keep things fresh - both for themselves and their listeners.Brothers Dave Haley (drums) and Joe Haley (guitar), have steered PSYCROPTIC through different shades of death metal, from the technical to the experimental.Longtime vocalist and lyricist Jason Peppiatt and bassist Todd Stern have further embellished the sound of the band, helping to create something that is distinctively PSYCROPTIC even as it evolves. Their years on the road performingwith the likes of Archspire, Misery Index, Nile and Dismember not only helped refine their sound, it opened them up to a wider network of potential collaborators that has truly borne fruit on Divine Council.

Since the release of Superstition back in 2018, FUNERAL CHIC has been through something of a metamorphosis, a rebirth if you will. With renewed purpose and a line up that has been solidified along the way, the four piece are preparing torelease their third full length album, Roman Candle, this summer. Holding no desire to make the same album twice, they have eschewed the punk-led powerviolence that informed their previous work and have embraced the great tradition of American rock and roll - but given it a very distinctive FUNERAL CHICtwist. The swagger of proto-punk forefathers The Stooges and The New York Dolls imbues the darkest, grittiest corners of their reinvigorated sound, and can also be found on their cover of Roky Erickson's Two Headed Dog. The caustic energy of early thrash and black metal scenes is also present, flickering withunmistakable incandescence throughout. Having previously led with their outspoken politics, this time the lyrics are refracted through a more personal - but no less fervoured - lens. With members of the band taking a path of sobrietyin recent years, the knot of rage that was previously doused with alcohol has been channeled into the lyrics on Roman Candle instead.

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.

Dark Blue w/ orange marble Vinyl. Limited to 300 copies.Following their critically well received debut album, Seekers, in 2017 - Our Kingdom Undone sees BEYOND GRACE refining and redefining their sound intosomething that's simultaneously more intricate and more intense than everbefore, combining conceptually ambitious songwriting and high octane heaviness in equal measure. Our Kingdom Undone's gestation period took place under a pall of social unrest and political uncertainty the world over, so it's nosurprise that each of these eight songs is a cathartic scream of raw emotion and primal poetry. Full to the brim with lyrics that rage with unfettered fury andunbound frustration against the rise of isolationism, exploitation, rampant militarism, and religious indoctrination.Recorded at Stuck on a Name studio by Ian Boult and Bookhouse studio by Tom Hill, before being mixed and mastered by Charles Elliot (Abysmal Dawn), Our Kingdom Undone is both a crushing statement of intent and a vital reminder that the personal is political.

Pink w/ red and black splatter.Five years (and one day!) after the release of their sophomore album, Lunar, WITHOUT WAVES will release the follow up in the shape of new LP, Comedian.The album brings together ten expansive tracks that chart the emotion-heavy few years that the Chicago-based band have experienced together. Embracing the multiplicity of ways to interpret the label `progressive', WITHOUT WAVES have created an album that would nestle comfortably in the record collections of fans of both the Dillinger Escape Plan and Devin Townsend, Gojira and Porcupine Tree. Their dynamic, experimental take on heaviness is evocative, thought-provoking and unconventional. Comedian was self-produced alongside Rollin Weary, who also mixed the record, before it was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege in Portland, OR. For a band that has always been sonically heavy, WITHOUT WAVES have added an additional layer of intensity with Comedian, that adds emotional weight to what was already a crushing proposition.

Repress on Clear Dark Red & Purple w/ Light Blue Splatter. Limited to 450 copies.Skull crushing death metal reigns supreme; if the blood-spattered glory of Carcass is your(body) bag, if the headbang-inducing brutality of Cannibal Corpse is too much for you to resist, then UNDEATH have served up a feast for you. Lesions Of A Different Kind is thesound of three lifetimes of subterranean sickness and death metal worship coalescing in a severe brain-bludgeoning unlike anything you've heard before.

Repress on Sapphire Blue Vinyl, limited to 100 copies."The album has a lot to do with being alive. We live in a society both obsessed with, and terrified of death. We exist in a world constantly seeking immortality through fame or gods. Strike Mortal Soil is a phrase that came about during the writing that has come to mean living with a furious passion; to go to one's grave like lightning in rejection of eternity. Total annihilation! It's darker, heavier, more thoughtful, more primitive, and heavily rooted in the classic rock and metal sound that has shaped the genre, while still being uniquely Wormwitch."

Opaque blue variant of Skeletonwitch's 2007 album Beyond ThePermafrost.

Repress - black with white streak vinyl. "The new face of death metal" - Metal Hammer. VENOM PRISON has returned with a blistering second album titled Samsara. Named after the Buddhist concept of being reborn into a never-ending cycle of suffering, the rising death metal outfit have laid their cards out on the table from the word go. Musically, the album is as abrasive as we have come to expect from this UK based five-piece; as frenetic as the debut but delivered with a power up of confidence in their delivery.

With a freshly inked deal with Prosthetic Records done and dusted, Fool's Ghost arepreparing to release their debut full length this winter. Comprising of Nick Thieneman(Young Widows, Breather Resist) and Amber Thieneman (Liberation Prophecy, SandpaperDolls), Fool's Ghost are a band small in number but vast in scope. Dark Woven Light istheir new year missive, evoking stark landscapes and barren vistas. The ten track album wasrecorded in 2018, in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky with producer Kevin Ratterman(Emma Ruth Rundle, Jaye Jayle, Jim James) at the helm. Cinematic and atmospheric bynature, Dark Woven Light is heavy music distilled through a crystalline lense.Threads of real life loss and personal experience loop throughout the album's broaderfeeling of the weight of the world pressing down on every last nerve. The absence ofhuman-to-human contact and attentiveness; the speed in which things move chafing awayat wholeness and wholesomeness feed into the permeating melancholy of the album.Melody illuminates the darkest corners with shards of hope and of light.Fool's Ghost are challenging the very notion of what heaviness is within music - a gentleexploration of the darkest facets of our individual and collective psyches. In Dark WovenLight, Fool's Ghost have delivered the perfect winter record - a lullaby for ghosts, an elegyfor the apocalypse.

Seattle’s TRAP THEM return to the forefront of American extreme music with their latest masterpiece of brutality, “Darker Handcraft,” their Prosthetic debut and follow up to 2008’s "Seizures In Barren Praise” on Deathwish Records.

Limited to 250 copies worldwide! Equal parts brutality, melody and the ethereal, Minneapolis 4 piece, Ashbringer's black metal metamorphosis began in 2013 as the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Nick Stanger. Several releases and tours later, they have perfected their craft on their 3rd full length and Prosthetic Records debut album, Absolution. To be released on June 28th, the double LP will be available on black and a limited-edition magenta/green splatter vinyl variant as well as compact disc and all digital outlets. Stanger got a very early start in music, forming his first band and playing out at age 15. After discovering the likes of Agalloch, Alcest, Fen and others, he decided to start writing and recording for a solo project that would incorporate elements of those bands and become Ashbringer's first album, Vacant. That album was self-released on Stanger's label on April 8th, 2015, which also marked his 18th birthday. Stanger comments, "I kind of thought it would be symbolic to mark my transition to adulthood both literally and musically, as I felt like that album took a lot of discipline for me to make, and artistically it felt like the most 'mature' thing I had ever done" Ashbringer subsequently signed to forward-thinking Italian extreme metal label Avantgarde who reissued Vacant and the band's following 2nd album 'Yügen' which was described by No Clean Signing as "both storming and hypnotic, ferocious and beautiful, with a mix of barbaric and clean vocals." The album also appeared on a few "Best of 2016" lists with Metal Sucks saying "This is art, molded from thin air with discerningly patient hands practicing nothing less than the absolute mastery of a craft. With so goddamn much to appreciate about this album, you better as fuck stop reading and start listening!" From these roots comes 'Absolution' - recorded by the band, with Kris Hilbert (All Hell, Between The Buried and Me) mixing and Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Portrayal of Guilt) brought in to master.

“The Moon Lit Our Path”; the crushing second album from TEMPEL. A dynamic, epic and organic monument of instrumental metal for appreciators of Mastodon, Enslaved, Isis and the pummeling riff.
