Lo!'s unpolished, abrasive sound calls up the image of a derailed freight-train, crushing everything in its path, ripping up the soil before coming to a flaming halt in the middle of the lifeless Moroccan hammada... Lo! follow bands like Old Man Gloom on their path down the dirt-trail of sludgy, noisy hardcore - but the band finds their own distinct sideways soon. That's why ,Look and Behold" sounds surprisingly fresh, from the first feedback of opener ,Hath" to the last waning cymbals of closing track ,Fire at the Child Actor's Guild". Atmospheric electronic interludes such as the elegiac ,Seraphim" or ,Doth" give the listener some space to take a breath in between the assault of mighty groove-riffs and berserk drum attacks and further add to the diversity of the whole damn thing. Lo!, hailing from Sydney, Australia, burst onto the scene some time around mid 2010. The bands' members have a long history of playing in various punk, hardcore and metal bands and played a whole bunch of shows with well established Australian acts. The band released a self-produced 6 track EP, which caught the attention of PELAGIC RECORDS. And here it is! Their first full-length album, now also available on beautiful ivory-colored vinyl with red splatter. And be sure that we here at Pelagic will be pushing hard to bring this fine outfit to Europe very soon...For fans of Breach, Old Man Gloom, Converge, etc Record Label: Pelagic Style: Metal

LIMITED, SUPER-DELUXE 180 GM BLACK DOUBLE VINYL, STOUGHTON GATEFOLD JACKET, BOUND IN 20 PAGE 12"X12" BOOK, PRINTED INNER-SLEEVES. (NON-RETURNABLE) +++ GET HIGH ON THIS: High on Fire guitarist Matt Pike was a co-founder of cult favorite Sleep and is one of the most respected guitarists in Metal. The Band's current release, De Vermis Mysteriis,was released in April 2012 by E1 music. A timely follow-up to the highly successful Southern Lord release of Sleeps' Dopesmoker! Considered by their dedicated following to be their best work ever. The cult classic first recordings of High On Fire remastered & restored. with bonus tracks...Cult metal favorite High On Fire was formed by former Sleep guitarist Matt Pike in late summer 1998. Berthed out of the need to simply play guitar again, Pike jammed with and settled on a line-up of powerhouse drummer Des Kensel and longtime guitarist friend George Rice, who made the switch to bass to round out the trio. They had scarcely been together for a few months before demo-ing three songs. That demo, featuring Master of Fists and instant classics 10,000 Years and Blood from Zion, became among the most sought-after tapes in the underground metal scene. High On Fire got straight to the point, bashing away with a neanderthal sense of purpose and creating hypnotic, droning waves of powerful riffs and low-end thunder of the likes not heard before. In 1999, the 3 songs were eventually pressed onto compact disc by a brand new label called 12th records who also doubled as the US dealer of Pikes amp of choice: Matamp. *Throughout 99', High On Fire continued writing for their debut full-length. The band recorded their debut with Sleep engineer/producer Billy Anderson at Shark Bite Studios in Oakland, CA. The Art of Self Defense served up a rock hard, unorthodox form of modern metal cloaked in strange religious theology and the trio's style was unique, distinct, HEAVY as all fuck and absolutely crushing. The album immediately became a cult classic and not even the the closure of the label that released the album (Mans' Ruin) could stop the powerhouse that had been unleashed. Tee Pee records reissued the album in 2001 with 2 bonus tracks: Steel Shoes and a ripping cover of the Celtic Frost song, The Usurper. In the wake of The Art of Self Defense, High On Fire signed to Relapse records and released what would ultimately be the last album with bassist George Rice entitled, Surrounded by Thieves. Over the next 10 years, the group tirelessly toured the globe and have gone on to be one of the most revered and successful metal bands there is. Rarely has metal been as powerful and pure in its ability to translate primal fury and aggression. They have burned the metal rulebook and forged a new archetype. Hot on the heels of the restored and remastered reissue of Sleeps' Dopesmoker album, Southern Lord strikes while the iron is blistering with another essential holy grail documentation. The Art of Self Defense, 2012 issue, was remastered by Brad Boatright who also helmed the remaster of Dopesmoker. Record Label: Southern Lord Style: Metal

Overall Hellbringer is hell-bent on crushing their listener with their putrid wares, and believe you me; this album rips, and rips hard. If you’re looking for deliciously evil riffs, a behemoth of a vocalist, percussion work that is a cut above, and perfect production, then Dominion Of Darkness is obligatory.

GOREMENT, one of the finest yet obscurest death metal bands to ever emerge from the soil of Sweden, has signed a worldwide deal with Century Media Records for the release of the band’s entire recordings. ‘Within the Shadow of Darkness – The Complete Recordings’ will be available as double vinyl (includes the 2CD) in late September. Other than GOREMENT‘s discography compilation ‘Darkness of the Dead (released in 2004), the entire musical content included on the upcoming release has been carefully remastered from the original master tapes by Dan Swanö, who has already been in charge of the production of GOREMENT‘s demos and the ‘Into Shadows’ EP. The result is mind-blowing: All songs sound fresh and incredibly massive without ever losing their original character. Style: Metal

Three years have passed since the release of the third album “Galeere“. To Eïs, it was a period of vital changes. Not only did the band have to suffer an enforced name change from Geïst to Eïs in 2010; at the end of 2011 the musicians also parted company. Vocalist Cypher D. Rex and both guitarists Hedrykk and Zyan left the band to spend their time on their own projects. Forming members Alboin and Marlek, feeling the desire to sharpen their artistic vision of atmospheric Black Metal, decided to continue under the name of Eïs. “Wetterkreuz” is a sort of transposition of this time of change. Created in the winter of 2011/2012 and recorded in April, 2012 in Studio E, “Wetterkreuz” is a conscious reduction to everything that constituted Eïs in the vision of the two musicians: feeling, atmosphere, tradition. The five tracks are clearly influenced by Scandinavian Black Metal of the mid-Nineties, something that isn’t only apparent in main song-writer Alboin’s style of composing and arranging. Also in terms of production, the band and producer Markus Stock (Empyrium, The Vision Bleak etc.) have consciously decided against an over-indulgence in modern studio techniques in order to give “Wetterkreuz” a forceful, yet raw, piercingly cold, and natural sound. All this is in keeping with the title and the lyrical content of “Wetterkreuz” – while “Galeere” was all influenced by the stormy, indomitable sea, “Wetterkreuz” creates images of slopes covered with glistening snow and barren rocks, threatening chasms and mossy ravines, loss and all-encompassing decline in a deeply metaphorical language, culminating in the most personal lyrics in the band’s history to date. Eïs’ fourth album “Wetterkreuz” will be released on September 28th via Prophecy Productions. Record Label: Prophecy Productions Style: Heavy Metal

In 2009, an uproar resounded through the Black Metal scene when Hupogrammos and Sol Faur left Negura Bunget. These visionary song-writers had given the group its unique style, and now they were left without a band. Yet, the two musicians looked ahead and, a short while later, founded a new group in order to realise their musical visions on a grand scale: Dordeduh. Dordeduh's debut single, "Valea Omului" (2010), made clear that Hupogrammos and Sol Faur would keep on following the path of their former band. With their ambition to unify the layers of the soul with transcendence, they create spiritual Black Metal that encompasses Ambient passages and primal fury as well as elements of Romanian folklore and progressive Rock. On "Dar De Duh" (English: "Gift of/from the Spirit"), their first full-length album, Dordeduh continue on their chosen path to present, after three years of work, a record that defies the usual standards of debut albums by virtue of its musical maturity and quality. In terms of concept, the musicians build on their heritage with Negura Bunget as well – they continue the numerological concept that permeated every Negura Bunget album up to "Om." "Dar De Duh" draws on several cultural and esoteric backgrounds to explore the number seven and its symbolism, primarily in terms of the seven levels of spiritual development and the old Romanian tradition of personifying the seven days of the week and relating them to the seven planets of classical astrology. In spite of this theoretical approach, Dordeduh put emphasis on the fact that their musical approach is first of all an intuitive one, rather than an intellectual or rational one. Whoever listens to "Dar De Duh" and gets lost in this album, will instantly feel that Dordeduh have succeeded masterfully in realising their intentions.
