LIMITED TURQUOISE VINYL PRESSING FEATURING STUDIO OUTTAKES OF TRACKS WHICH WENT ON TO FORM THE REVERED 1987 OPUS OF EPIC DOOM, 'NIGHTFALL'.Candlemass, formed by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm four decades ago, is well known for its influential Epic Doom Metal sound, which itself evolved out of the masterful Black Sabbath. Following the legendary and genre defining debut, ‘Epicus Doomicus Metallicus’ (1986), 'Nightfall' was released just one year later, resulting in another all-time classic; an album instrumental in shaping the scene that still exists to this day with its unrivalled melodic Heavy Doom. On 'Nightfall', joining bass player and main songwriter Leif Edling was vocalist Jan Alfredo Marcolin, better known as Messiah Marcolin, who became a well-established and highly regarded vocalist throughout the Metal world, with his powerful, theatrical tones establishing him as an iconic presence in the band until his departure in the early 1990s. As an essential piece of history for any fans of early period Candlemass, ‘The Coming of Nightfall’ presents a series of studio outtakes and alternate early mixes of album tracks from what was to become the eventual classic ‘Nightfall’ release. These rarities, from Leif Edling’s archive, were faithfully restored by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony. This edition of ‘The Coming of Nightfall’ is presented on limited turquoise vinyl. SIDE A – Early Guitar Mixes1. Dark Are The Veils Of Death [07:09] 2. At The Gallows End [05:49] 3. The Well Of Souls [07:21] SIDE B – Early Guitar Mixes1. Mourner`s Lament [05:19] 2.

From their formation back in 1986, to becoming one of Norways’s finest musical exports (with a number of highly revered black metal masterpieces released in the early 90’s helping to solidify their legacy), Darkthrone has continued to evolve and challenge in equal measure, throughout their illustrious recording career spanning over three decades. And now, the ever-productive duo of Nocturno and Fenriz continue their own metallic saga with a new selection of fine, vintage sounding headbanging classics in the making.

‘Astral Fortress’ is itself a swift follow-up to 2021’s ‘Eternal Hails’ opus, as a result of Darkthrone’s consistent and ongoing writing process, which has been in force for some years now. For Darkthrone does not sleep - it only waits.

Carried on the brisk wind of eager rock, with foundations in black, thrash, doom and heavy metal, ‘Astral Fortress’ is the latest album of stellar, eclectic old metal in the Darkthrone odyssey. With a seemingly endless dungeon full of heavy metal influences channelled through Darkthrone’s dynamic riff-machine, plus also with many increasing inspirations taken from their own past catalogue, Darkthrone has truly become its own beast within the metal world. Even though sprinkled with atmospheric touches such as synthesizers and mellotron on ‘Astral Fortress’ to great effect, the Darkthrone sound remains stripped down to the core; always primitive and organic.

‘Astral Fortress’ was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios in Oslo, the same location used for the ‘Eternal Hails’ album, with Ole Øvstedal and Silje Høgevold.

THE LONG-AWAITED NEW STUDIO ALBUM FROM THE UK’S LEGENDARY HEAVY METAL TRAILBLAZERS. PRESENTED ON DOUBLE GATEFOLD BLACK VINYL.Originally formed in London under the name Our Haunted Kingdom back in 1995, celebrated UK metal greats Orange Goblin entered the world of heavy music as wide-eyed enthusiasts, eager to channel the fire and fury of their favourite bands. Emerging amid the exhilarating melee of the mid-‘90s stoner rock and doom explosion, Orange Goblin’s debut album ‘Frequencies From Planet Ten’ was released via underground imprint Rise Above Records in October 1997.Since then, the quartet has shared the stage with legendary acts such as Alice Cooper, Danzig, and Heaven & Hell among numerous others on their rise to prominence. A stream of critically acclaimed and widely revered studio albums also added to Orange Goblin’s substantial legacy, from early classics like ‘Time Travelling Blues’ and ‘The Big Black’ through to more recent triumphs like 2012’s universally praised ‘A Eulogy For The Damned’ and 2018’s equally hailed ‘The Wolf Bites Back’. Fast forward to 2021 and Orange Goblin ushered in a new era of metal chaos, signing with legendary UK metal imprint Peaceville Records, with long-standing trio Ben Ward, Joe Hoare & Chris Turner joined by new bassist Harry Armstrong for this next chapter. The first fruits of this union manifest in new studio album ‘Science, Not Fiction’; an absorbing exploration (and exploitation) of the world as seen through the three fundamental factors; Science, Spirituality, & Religion and how they determine and affect the human condition. Commandingly articulated as ever through vocalist Ben Ward, this is backed by Orange Goblin’s unmistakably catchy and accomplished yet often deceptively intricate brand of Sabbath-ian Heavy Metal thunder. ‘Science, Not Fiction’ was recorded at Woodworm Studios UK in late 2023, with production and mixing duties carried out by Grammy winning producer Mike Exeter (most notable for his work with Black Sabbath) and mastering was conducted by the esteemed Peter Hewitt-Dutton at The Bakery in LA. This edition of 'Science, Not Fiction' is presented on double vinyl with gatefold sleeve, including the bonus track, 'Eye of the Minotaur'. SIDE A:1. The Fire At The Centre Of The Earth Is Mine [05:19] 2. (Not) Rocket Science [04:21] 3. Ascend The Negative [05:23] SIDE B:1. Eye Of The Minotaur [04:32] 2. False Hope Diet [06:57] SIDE C:1.

THE LONG-AWAITED SEVENTH STUDIO ALBUM OF MASTERFUL DEATH METAL SAVAGERY FROM THE GENRE LEGENDS. PRESENTED ON LIMITED PURPLE VINYL.Death metal titans Cancer burst onto the UK extreme metal scene over thirty five years ago & quickly established a strong global following over the early part of their careers, primarily due to the release of the legendary debut ‘To The Gory End’, swiftly followed by the equally revered ‘Death Shall Rise’ album, which notably also featured death metal maestro James Murphy on lead guitars. The band’s trajectory increased further with follow-up opus ‘The Sins Of Mankind’, leading to a stint with major label EastWest under Warner Music. 2018 saw the band return after a long period of inactivity for comeback release & Peaceville debut 'Shadow Gripped', which reunited the original core trio for the first time since 1995 for a stellar nod to the glory days of old; savage, thrash-tinged deathly odes to the macabre, gaining the approval of old fans & a new generation of death metal maniacs alike. In a year which also marks the 35th anniversary of the genre-classic debut, ‘To The Gory End’, founding member & vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Walker leads a now-revamped quartet for Cancer’s seventh full-length album in the form of ‘Inverted World’. A relentless attack of masterful song-writing & brutal hooks, ‘Inverted World’ explores the dark & murky world of manipulation & barbarity both past & present, with themes relating to shadowy entities & cult mentalities, including the brainwashing of people into compliance & the weaponizing of religion. And as an extra treat for the band’s fanbase in particular, the track ‘Corrosive’ also resurrects the old & familiar tale of the acid bath murderer. ‘Inverted World’ was recorded at The Empty Hall Studio with Simón Da Silva & mixed by V. Santura (Triptykon, Obscura, Pestilence, Dark Fortress etc) at Woodshed Studio. This edition of ‘Inverted World’ is presented on limited purple vinyl, with printed inner sleeve featuring full lyrics.

THE NEW, EPIC METALLIC ODYSSEY FROM THE LONGSTANDING NORWEGIAN DUO OF FENRIZ & NOCTURNO CULTO. SPECIAL LIMITED MULTI-FORMAT SET CONTAINING CD, EXCLUSIVE CORONA VINYL, & EXCLUSIVE CASSETTE TAPE. ALSO INCLUDES ART PRINTS FEATURING THE WORK OF ZBIGNIEW BIELAK.With a legacy of audial treasures now spanning more than 35 years & with the fountain of creativity ever flowing, Norway’s Darkthrone return with their latest venture through classic riffs & vintage sounding metal in the shape of the epic new seven track studio opus, ‘It Beckons Us All’. Seeing the longstanding duo of Fenriz & Nocturno Culto uniting once more, ‘It Beckons Us All’ follows on the heels of 2022’s revered ‘Astral Fortress’ album, with what could be considered an even more refined, challenging & diverse set of timeless metal anthems from the uncompromising trailblazers; from the melodic, to the sombre & atmospheric, to the blackened dirges emanating from Darkthrone’s highly distinguishable riffing, as well as a nod to influences such as Celtic Frost along the way. Recorded once again at Chaka Khan Studios in the band’s native Norway, ‘It Beckons Us All’ was mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door, with artwork courtesy of Polish artist Zbigniew Bielak. With an expansive catalogue consisting of a multitude of various genre classics, Darkthrone first arrived on the global stage with their atmospheric & technically accomplished death metal debut, ‘Soulside Journey’ back in 1991, followed by the milestone in black metal that is ‘A Blaze In The Northern Sky’ released only the following year, after the intended second album ‘Goatlord’ was essentially scrapped to make way for something more primitive & paving the way for Darkthrone’s close association with the black metal genre over many years. And so, with an endlessly progressing (and even regressing) evolution which has seen the band successfully delving into many sub-genres of metal & punk, ‘It Beckons Us All’ stands as one of the band’s most complete & vast works to date. This special multi-format edition of 'It Beckons Us All' contains CD, exclusive corona vinyl, exclusive cassette tape, plus four art prints featuring the work of artist Zbigniew Bielak. CD1.
