NEW ARRIVALS - 2013.09
LIMB - GIFT OF THE SUN
A 7-inch pressed on ORANGE VINYL in an edition of 250. Presented in poster bag sleeves with NHS house bags, stickered and numbered. Comes with download including FREE extra track. The debut release from a London based stoner/sludge/grunge band. Limb play damn heavy, sharing the loose -limbed, groove-based approach of bands like Weedeater, Kyuss and early Corrosion Of Conformity, mashed with a mighty thump of Melvins bottom end.
ACID WITCH - WITCHTANIC HELLUCINATIONS
Acid Witch plays a very trippy, psychedelic and unsurprisingly horror influenced form of doom metal. Yet its delivered with such unabashed childishness and goofiness, a possible result of what the Scooby Doo cartoon theme would sound like if Electric Wizard had penned it. You'l find elements of Cathedral here, some Witchfinder General there, and some slight nods to Pentagram. Add to that some of Electric Wizard's ultra bassy, fuzzy, and distorted guitar tone and booming production values. Like other traditional doom metal albums, the riffs and rhythm patterns move in a lumbering and lurching fashion yet somehow the Witchsters inject some nice doses of sensual grooves that recall '70s Deep Purple. During various listening sessions I felt like I was inside Satan smoke filled strip club watching strippers complete with horns and cloven hooves gyrating their lovely tail clad asses for the merriment of us sinners and then suddenly I somehow realized that perhaps hell isn't really a bad place after all.

ANGANTYR - FORVIST (2LP)
After more than a year of extensive touring and several festival gigs following the release of Angantyr's successful 4th album. "Svig", as well as changes in his personal life including a move from Denmark to Sweden, mastermind Ynleborgaz finally. found the time to write the songs for the much anticipated 5th album in early 2012. "Forvist" once again showcases Ynleborgaz' uncanny ability to create epic, raw and powerful Black Metal hymns that seem to draw their boundless strength from the cold darkness and eternal solitude of the frozen north. The lyrics continue the epic story of Arngrim, a medieval Scandinavian warrior sailing from his homeland to seek revenge on the Christian invaders who murdered his family, a tale that began with "Hvn". And, just like Arngrim, Ynleborgaz takes no prisoners. All followers of the Danish one-man legion will note with glee that Angantyr in its 15th year remains as strong a force against the Christian invaders as ever.

KVELERTAK - MEIR (2LP)
They're called punk and metal, but at their hearts Norwegian berserkers Kvelertak are the living, firebreathing embodiment of rock and roll. Since their formation in 2006, they've built a die-hard fan-base hungry for their utterly ferocious live shows that have already burned two flaming tire-tracks across the globe. Kvelertak's euphorically-received self-titled 2011 debut was iTunes 2011's US Metal Breakthrough Artist of The Year. Pitchfork described their sound as having "monolithic walls of adrenal-gland-strangling sound" while LA Weekly named frontman Erland Hjelvik #2 on their list of top ten metal frontmen (and women) under 30. Overseas the band has racked up numerous accolades. Kvelertak was called "the best Norwegian debut of all time" by Norwegian rock authority Asbjrn Slettemark, named "Best Debut Album" by Metal Hammer Germany, "Best New Artist" and "Best Rock Album" at the Spellemannprisen (Norway's Grammy equivalent) and has received countless additional critical acclaim from Metal Hammer UK and Kerrang! who called them "the most exciting new band on the planet." Produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou, Kvelertak will release their highly anticipated sophomore album entitled 'Meir' (which means "more" in English) in March 2013. Unlike the majority of heavier bands, they sing in their native language, adding even more character to their already unique sound. TRACKLISTING: 01. ?PENBARING 02. SPRING FRA LIVET 03. TREPAN 04. BRUANE BRENN 05. EVIG VANDRAR 06. SNILEPISK 07. M?NELYST DISC #2: 01. NEKROKOSMOS 02. UNDERTRO 03. TORDENBRAK 04. KVELERTAK

SKOGEN BRINNER - 1ST (BLACK)
Limited 600 x black vinyl. The debut album from Skogen Brinner is a wasted, slimy, speed freak vortex of polluted proto metal risen from a self-loathing nurtured by an increasingly greasy wasteland called Sweden. Wicked, toxic and manic rock, psychotic vocals, gnarly guitars, cavernous bass and drums beat to a pulp. A quick glare at the cover and youre savvy on what it's about. "The idea is probably to create rotten hard rock with a drive and without too many frills. Maybe you can compare us with a Z-grade flick: bad. but still damn good in a strange way." Skogen Brinner consists of four young reprobate souls; Jesper Aronsson - vocals, David Forsberg - Guitar, Joel Carnstam - bass, Jonathan Eriksson - drums, who, despite their situation, are now trying to break the negative spiral of self-destruction with sound therapy. "My life is fucking complicated, youd be surprised." They have played, even if the result sometimes becomes terrible. They have played with each other and with their bodies, with toxins and with their strength. They played with values which society and parents slipped on them.
