sanguisugabogg - tortured whole

pure fun, solo-free old school death metal by this unpronounceable band. century media pressed 200 copies on translucent pink vinyl and sold it exclusively through emp mailorder. 2021.

timeghoul - discography 1992 - 1994

obscure sci-fi prog death metal from the vaults. this band released two demos in the early nineties and apparently no one gave a damn back then. nowadays this sound and lyrical content is super trendy and that's why the crypt records and dark descent records were able to already unleash three pressing of this banger. 125 copies on this red/yellow merge vinyl. 2021.

the acacia strain - slow decay

there are not many bands around that release as consistently good as the acacia strain. their latest effort "slow decay" is another great full length under their belt (number nine!). only got the lame european version on gold vinyl (un)limited to 1.700 copies. still sounds great ;-) released by rise records in 2020.

venom prison - animus

these guys from wales know how to write a death metal record that feels like the hit of a sledge hammer. primal and energetic. i suppose they groove real hard playing live. 500 copies pressed on the orange splatter variant. 2020 re-press. released by prosthetic records in 2016.

ahtme - mephitic

pretty good tech death from the u.s. boys in ahtme. the lads really have a thing with quite disgusting cover artworks. the "flesh"pink marble vinyl is a real good match. unique leader records keeps pumping out quality tech death, highly recommended for fans of the genre. 2020.

kingdom of sorrow - behind the blackest tears

finally i found me a copy of the second kingdom of sorow album. after i had the self-titled debut for years, i snagged this grey marble vinyl sucker off ebay eventually. record is superb just as suspected. wouldn't it be great if kirk windstein and jamey jasta were to team up again? it's been eleven years now, so i doubt it... but who knows... relapse records and 1.000 copies pressed. 2010.

blood incantation - interdimensional extinction

this is the first european pressing of the band's first e.p. on century media. i scooped one of the creamy white vinyl copies. the four songs are proggy death metal wizardry as expected.

kreator - under the guillotine box set

everything about this box set is top notch! the replica pressings of the albums, the nice vinyl colours, the book, the bonus dvd, the tape tormentor e.p., the look of the box and the band mascot usb stick - t-o-p n-o-t-c-h!!!!

integrity - closure

the early 00's presented a weird time for integrity and so it is no wonder that their 2001 record "closure" sounds that way. also the circumstances under which the vinyl first press twenty years back was produced are sketchy. dwid now calls it a bootleg pressing and so, to its 20th anniversary, he gave us the first official vinyl edition of "closure". absinthe ice edition out of 100 copies via holy terror records.

vanguard - rage of deliverance

good ol' fashioned vegan straight edge hardcore to which i just couldn't say no. this is their first release and i got the tape version and a shirt alongside the vinyl. second pressing on coke bottle clear with colour splatter out of 290 copies. new age records. 2020.
