AHAB - THE BOATS OF THE GLEN CARRIG (2LP)
German nautic doomers Ahab have not only created their very own subgenre, they are also incomparable dabblers in solemn melancholy! Based on William Hope's novel 'The Boats Of The Glen Carrig', the album of the same title is the band's magnum opus, gracefully nestled in between slow-motion anthems and haunting melodies.
BENEATH THE STORM - DEVIL'S VILLAGE
Mysterious Slovenian sludge doomsters BENEATH THE STORM return with a concept album based on the cult classic movie 'City Of The Dead' (starring Christopher Lee as The Professor, and Patricia Jessel as The Infamous Witch). Expect disturbing atmospheres made of obscure and twisted riffs, sinister soundbytes and inhuman vocals. LP-VERSION.
CATHEDRAL - THE VIITH COMING (2LP)
A limited edition DOUBLE-LP reissue of this 2001 metal classic.
DIEMONDS - NEVER WANNA DIE
The members of The Diemonds have no bloodstreams running underneath their skins - they have the Sunset Strip! Quite peculiar come to think the five-piece hails from Toronto, Canada. The second album by the band surrounding sexy frontwoman Priya Panda has been produced by Eric Ratz (Billy Talent amongst other) and boasts voluptuous Sleaze and Hard Rock that is out to kill. These lethal gems offer so much more on 'Never Wanna Die', including massive singalongs, a snotty punk attitude, mean shredding and sleazy anthems, all fighting for dominance.
FUNERARY - STARLESS AEON
Funerary, a band from Phoenix, AZ, plays doom metal with progressive and cosmic elements. The download version of 'Starless Aeon' was in plenty best of 2014 lists.
GRIME - (BLACK) CIRCLE OF MOLESTERS
Edition of 200 copies on 180 gr black vinyl, presented in a full-color gatefold sleeve with lyric insert. Newly founded Argento Records has confirmed the labels first title, with the impending release Circle Of Molesters, the second LP from Trieste, Italys corrosive sludge quartet, GRIME. Their sound is rooted into rotten burial grounds and their songs are the sound of a decaying swamp filled with trash. Their slow and heavy groove is filthy and vicious, guitar riffs are sharp and covered with rust, drums and bass hit with the unstoppable power of a mud avalanche. And their only goal is bringing destruction to a town near you. Following the release of their independent debut EP in 2011 and their dominating 2013-released debut LP, Deteriorate (Forcefield Records/Mordgrimm), GRIME oozes forth with their most brutalizing display of gutter-born, diseased sludge metal yet with Circle Of Molesters. Like a volcano rupturing megatons of rotting flesh, for nearly forty minutes the bands gnarly scourge will suck you into the darkest depths of suffocating death, yet all the while taking their petulant tonal attack to new heights, integrating more body-mangling dynamics than ever. Bringing this auditory destruction to life, the band enlisted the recording and mixing work of sound engineer Lorenzo Stecconi (Ufomammut, Amen Ra, Zu) and final mastering duties to Brad Boatright (Sleep, Corrosion Of Conformity, Nails) at Audiosiege, both factors helping shape every bit of the bands tonal wrath to thundering clarity.
JACKSON FIREBIRD - SHAKE THE BREAKDOWN
Brendan Harvey and Dale Hudak a.k.a. Jackson Firebird have proved for the second time that it only needs two guys to raise pure rock fury hell! 'Shake The Breakdown' is so much more than just a cock rockin' affair though: the Australian duo invites us to a wild rollercoaster ride through several styles while rattling our bones with stoner attitude. At the same time this album gives us a glimpse at the unbound and raw energy that Jackson Firebird unleashes on stage: shake it!
KING HEAVY - KING HEAVY
Featuring the vocalist of Belgian doom metal act Hooded Priest, KING HEAVY hails from Chile. And more importantly, King Heavy rocks! Aside from strong elements of Candlemass and of the more traditional doom metal sound, the band offers tons of EPIC arrangements and a twisted touch that definitely reminds of Black Sabbath's 'Born Again', Celtic Frost's 'Into the Pandemonium' and the early, darkest side of Danzig. LP-VERSION.
LIMB - TERMINAL
LIMITED EDITION ON TRANSPARENT WHITE AND PURPLE VINYL, including a download. Following Limb's 2014's s/t debut album, 'Terminal' is a down-tuned and dirty barrage of monumental riffs.

This album is guaranteed to blow your ears, speakers, and minds!
MAGISTER TEMPLI - INTO DUAT
Focusing on the theme of Egyptian Mythology, 'Into Duat' is the second full-length from the Norwegian occult heavy metal band MAGISTER TEMPLI. As far as the music goes, heavy guitars, intense drumming and authoritarian, preaching vocals are the key ingredients. LP-VERSION.

Special limited edition set featuring CD and LP editions of ORANGE GOBLIN's 2012 studio album ('A Eulogy For The Damned') and the 2013 live album ('A Eulogy For The Fans'). CLEAR vinyl edition and CD + DVD digibook! Limited to 350 sets.

'Parallels' has received high scores and praise from Metal Injection, Metalsucks, Dust and Echoes and countless others.

BLACK CAPRICORN - CULT OF BLACK FRIARS
