Out now and in stock:


MURW 'Kanker' LP/CD (HHR)
Unique death/doom metal. Long awaited debut album of Murw out now on cd and lp. One of The Netherlands' best kept secrets returns with a truly stunning and groundbreaking album of progressive death/doom metal. Extraordinary, unconventional and creative songwriting, this album is nearly impossible to compare with any existing band or fit in any existing genre. Murw is not a newcomer one-day-fly performing a cheap, new gimmick trying to stand out. Throughout their history, dating back to the early 90s where the band already did shows supporting Emperor for example, they've shown a unique own style of music, culminating into "Kanker".

https://www.facebook.com/events/120685901413138/

- HEIMDALLS WACHT (Ger) "Ekte Westfäölske Svatte Metal" CD - out in november, pre-orders welcome
From the very heart of old Westphalen - from the darkests forests, the most desolate tunnels and buried pits, the most remote holes and ruins arose a black manifest against the Zeitgeist... Hymns and sounds, that reveal what lurks beneath the seemingly orderly surface - harmonies of oblivion - voices of unreason - memories of long supressed feelings... A cry against the mechanisms of modernity!
Diverse, pagan black metal with varied influences as an emotional farewell for that which once was - and never will be again...
Listen to two samples at http://heidenshart.bandcamp.com


Other news:

- BESTIAL SUMMONING 'The dark war has begun' LP - out now
20 years after its original release, finally availabe on vinyl again. Limited edition of 666 handnumbered copies. In this age of redundant re-releases of bands noone cared about and never will, we are proud to offer the only official vinyl reissue of this timeless Satanic black metal masterpiece. This recording is one of the true classics in the genre, together with the Samael debut, Burzum, Countess debut, Mayhem debut, In order to retain the spirit of the early 90's, this release reflects the orginal as much as possible, and therefore has no modern sellout gimmicks like useless bonustracks, photoshopped new artwork, rockstar liner notes or other unnecessary stuff. This is a high quality vinyl record, comes on 140 gr vinyl, with heavy carboard sleeve and insert with lyrics and photos. Vinyl pre-mastering at Tuianti Studio, The Netherlands (Heimdalls Wacht, Ancestors Blood, Cultus), March 2012. Pressed in Germany.

- GRAVELAND 'In the glare of burning churches' demo 1993 LP - out now
Released and available. The most hateful demo of all time, now for the first time on vinyl. This is an official release by Forever Plagued (USA) with official distribution in Europa by HHR. It comes with original cover and logo, large poster, printed innersleeve with lyrics and photos. Price is 15 euro + postage. High quality release just like 'Immortal pride'. All pre-orders have been shipped!

- BRANSTOCK 'Uckermark' MCD - coming next week. Still waiting for the booklets.
Brand new MCD from the Märkischen Soldaten. Five original new tracks of aggressive yet melodic black metal full of Märkischen hate and pride and a Havohej cover. Pre-order now!

- MONADS 'Intellectus iudicat veritatem' digipack CD - out in november, pre-orders welcome
Release date 24/10/2012 but pre-orders available at special price of 7,75 euro. Email to order now! Monads surprised everyone with their debutdemo 'Intellectus iudicat veritatem'. Initially released by the band on musicasette, all tapes were sold out after six days. Monads combine elements of slow and dragging funeral doom with melodic death/doom parts. The combination is a completely crushing, heavy and unique atmosphere. Once in a while we are surprised with influences from other styles, like in 'Broken gates to nowhere', where we find ourselves drifting away on a post-rock influenced second half, reminding of Daturah, God is an Astronaut and Mono; or 'Absent as in these veins', which ends in a fiery and fast blastbeat climax. Now, finally, the demo has been released on deluxe digipak CD by Ordo MCM / Despondency Records / Heidens Hart.
Note: The CD will already be available at their upcoming show with Worship - see dates below!


- GESTALTE debut album is recorded, will be released later this year.

- ANCESTORS BLOOD new album 'A moment of clarity' is scheduled for 2013. 'When the forest calls' MLP will be out soon.

BLACKDEATH 'Saturn sector' tape
Alternate version of the album that was never released, now put on tape, unmastered rough mix of the album. Comes on pro tapes.



BLACK DRAUGWATH 'The true Bottomless Armageddon' CD
OUT NOW. In 1997, a now ancient Russian band called Black Draugwath recorded an album called "Bottomless Armageddon". The release of the album was delayed and pushed backwards for years and years. In the mean time, the band changed the name to Blackdeath and recorded and released the "Saturn sector" and "Fucking fullmoon foundation" albums. In 2004, after some re-workings and re-recorded vocals, the album was finally released on CD and LP. It's long sold out by now and actually one of the hardest to find albums in the whole Blackdeath discography, as well as probably their harshest. This unreleased, first rough version of the album, with the original vocal takes was recorded in Russia in 1997, mastered by Malkira (Osculum Infame) in 1997, never saw the black of night until the paths of Blackdeath and HHR crossed 16 years after those original recordings. We now present "The true Bottomless Armageddon" under Black Draugwath monniker in its unreleased form.

CD comes with big fold out sleeve with all lyrics (never published before), long two page story explaining the history of the album, photos, etc. Limited to 500 copies.

Listen: http://heidenshart.bandcamp.com
Now available at www.heidenshart.nl




HEIMDALLS WACHT 'Westfälischer Schlachtenlärm' CD
OUT NOW. This is the sound of nostalgia and authenticity - the album that started it all! "Westfälischer Schlachtenlärm" was originally never intended as a first album, but as a demorecording. Yet still, the first press was sold out instantly. After many requests, this first call out of the Westphalian woods by Heimdalls Wacht is now finally available again. For this edition, the sound has been slightly improved, but don't expect a big theatrical production for this re-release: the album remains as primal, spontaneous and primitive as it was meant and recorded back then; yet, it sounds better than ever! Two out of three bonustracks that appeared on the limited LP-edition of the album, have also been included on this new CD-edition. All in all, this is meant to be a slightly updated face of the album; instead of a completely reworked edition which has nothing to do with the original (and which will never happen). All layout of the 12 page booklet have been kept mostly the same, except liner notes by Saruman about the history of Heimdalls Wacht and this recording are included!
