New Vinyl Editions! From shadows of black magic metal Edged Circle Productions is proud to present the new album from the satanic witches Asagraum. This new offering has been manifested into the realm of flesh under his will by the title "Veil of Death, Ruptured" and features brand new material which has been highly anticipated by the fans for years after the previous album "Dawn of Infinite Fire". Asagraum are bigger than ever, but not in the sense measured by the common critics or by that of fame, but by the being of MORE. Everything has been elevated to a higher state of being and the outcome is as deadly as it is intoxicating. Once again, like it's previous offering, the new album has been projected from it's vision by Obscura and A. Morthaemer, but there are several assisting elements at play within the folds of "Veil of Death, Ruptured". 01 Ignem Purificat Lilitu, 02 Fearless Dominance, 03 Opus Ad Errantem, 04 De Verloren Tijd, 05 Impure Fire, 06 Veil of Death, Ruptured, 07 Opus Ad Aeternum, 08 De Wannzin Roept Mijn Naam

EDGED CIRCLE PRODUCTIONS are proud to announce the first ever official release of a demo which has been buried by time and dust for decades. Only available on 300 black vinyl copies, but of course also through digital stream finally with revamped master from the original tapes. “Eternal Sea” will see its long-awaited release on the 6th of September. Split, Croatia, Yugoslavia 1988: Dejan Katalenić ignites the Speed Metal band Witchcraft. They quickly finish ten songs and record them, releasing seven of them early 1989 as a demo in ten copies. Nine of these tapes were according to legend send to western labels. The market for the music itself was there, but no Yugoslav record companies were allowed to release music with these kinds of lyrics at the time. One tape ended up in King Diamond’s possession providing influence for his 1990´s album The Eye. Another copy ended up influencing Sepultura’s intro for their 1989 album classic Beneath the Remains. Not a bad result for 10 copies of Croatian Speed Metal. Unfortunately, the band never heard back from any of the recipients of the demos. Fast forward a couple of years, the iron curtain drops and Witchcraft lives on in various line ups over the years, but always led by Dejan Katalenić. Finally available in a well-deserved proper format after 36 years. Included in this new release are the three extra tracks recorded in the same session. So it’s kind of old, but at the same time brand new. Listening to the demo today it seems crazy that these songs aren’t more known. It’s experimental, it’s versatile and it’s fantastic. Just like many of the more known east block bands from the same era it has an originality that most bands can only dream of. Get inspired, listen to a real story and fall into the ETERNAL SEA. 01 – Intro02 – Burn Witch03 – Seventh Sabbath04 – Odyssey05 – Pray To Die06 – Trust In Evil07 – Sinful Nun08 – To Hell And Back09 – Den Of Vice10 – Eternal Sea

Edged Circle Productions is proud to present Sign of Evil’s highly anticipated debut album, Psychodelic Death on vinyl format.

And now it's here, bearing the continuing-the-tale title of Psychodelic Death. Witchfucker's joined by new drummer Thoth, and the duo's chemistry is immediate and mesmerizing. Everything about its short-length predecessor is not only taken up a notch, it's nearly maximized to overkill-type levels, but that's the only kind of madness for Sign OF Evil! More chorus pedal on everything, more guitar solos everywhere, more anthems and more hypnosis and more Evil and more Argh!!! In fact, that chorus-pedal abuse puts Psychodelic Death in a realm almost removed from metal and into old deathrock - so sinister yet also so sexy. But rest assured that the duo have their noses planted deeply in an ancient ugliness redolent of early Bathory, Venom, Warfare, and even the Plasmatics: Witchfucker's now got two vocal styles warring with each other - one a thirsty 'n' miserable blackrasp, the other a sewer vomit warped by a harmonizer ala very early Carcass, Impetigo, or Carnage - and Thoth's snare sound is straight outta Sarcofago's Inri. The cultest metal album of the year? YOU Fucking BET!

Highly anticipated debut album from Phantom Fire! It was but May 2021 when a brand-new entity burst from Bergen, Norway, bearing the all-too-apropos moniker Phantom Fire. With members hailing from such bands as Gaahls Wyrd and Krakow, the duo surprisingly went a different route with their debut EP, Return of the Goat. Hard-rocking, hard-charging, reeking of rust and diesel, Phantom Fire proved they were their own band removed from any sort of lineal references. Better yet, perhaps, they were just getting started and already promised a debut full-length... That debut album is finally here: The Bust of Beelzebub! Flexing the same chops and some new ones, Phantom Fire's first full-length salaciously spans pitch-black speed metal and moody epic metal alike, all of it in (evil) obeisance to timeless Heavy Metal magic. Years ahead of the game, The Bust of Beelzebub bears an ageless wisdom across it's succinct seven-song/29-minute runtime, like Aura Noir jamming out on some Cirith Ungol covers or early Omen getting turned onto the Swedish Cranium! Nevertheless, some interesting twists crop up in the most unselfconscious ways, like the spattering of spiralling psychedelic guitar or solemn Viking-dirge acoustics, altogether making for a wild ride across the hinterlands of the frozen Norwegian tundra...all before it's lit afire! With stout and richly analogue recording courtesy of Iver Sandøy (Enslaved) at Solslottet Studio in Bergen and deliciously warped cover art by Nifelheim's Hellbutcher, Phantom Fire's The Bust of Beelzebub is an exceptionally unique take on the traditional.

Phantom Fire’s striking debut EP, Return of the Goat, on 7" vinyl! A brand-new entity hailing from Bergen, Norway. Hard-rocking, hard-charging, reeking of rust and diesel, here do Phantom Fire kick out two jams of lithe 'n' lethal metal blackened to a crisp. And while so many nowadays "retro" bands head straight to the party, Phantom Fire are intent on ruining that party, spreading black leathery wings wide and ominously. A unique take on the traditional, Return of the Goat is a deadly auspicious first start, and the title track's a tasty preview of Phantom Fire's forthcoming debut album, The Bust of Beelzebub, via Edged Circle. You've been warned!

EDGED CIRCLE PRODUCTIONS are proud to announce the brand new second full length album “Spilling the Astral Chalice” from Slovenia’s progressive death metal force SIDEREAN. Past the edge of reason and harmony we find SIDERAN coming from space via Slovenia. Cosmic and deadly, atonal but harmonic. Adventurous and unlimited, their cosmic and technical approach to metal does not in any way stand in the way of elegant brutality and force. Yet, it’s a more intelligent force and a more stellar brutality. SIDERAN offers a unique blend of both dissonance and harmony. Freedom of generic arrangements is the key. It’s also wonderfully liberating listening to the easiness of the craftsmanship. Sometimes complexity sounds forced and natural. This is not the case with SIDEREAN. The new album follows up 2021´s Lost on Void´s Horizon even better than we had anticipated. SIDEREAN is a unique and special spectral stone than shines like an illuminated diamond in the night sky, trailing the galaxies and nebulae SPILLING THE ASTRAL CHALICE wherever it might suit them. This new exploration was recorded and mixed by Anze Canzek at Negligence Studios, mastered by Gabriele Gramaglia at Crepuscular Sound Studio and wrapped in stellar artwork courtesy of Fernando JFL. Be sure not to miss SPILLING THE ASTRAL CHALICE! …oh and also absolutely do NOT miss the band on tour throughout Europe in September as well! 01 – The Sacred Sea02 – Visions03 – Forces04 – Emerald Age05 – The Coming Tides06 – To Build Ruins

Staying true to their sound whilst pushing their own limits, here on Fatal Visions do Inculter exhibit more finesse and flair, more magick and mastery. If Persisting Devolution leaned more on the raw side - understandably so, given the band's youth at the time - then the self-produced Fatal Visions sees the now-quartet getting to the heart of their sound and, with mastering by Enslaved's Herbrand Larsen, leaving a more powerful and timeless document for the ages. That expansion to a four-piece is immediately felt; the attack is tighter and more urgent, the dual-riff interplay dazzling with darkness and ever-twisting memorability. Indeed, these Fatal Visions cut quickly and sharply, their locked-in slash 'n' surge sounding almost criminally accomplished. No more red-eyed and bleeding-raw belligerence here: rather, a spiked landscape of classic heavy metal majesty rendered wild and wondrous. If anything, one could say Inculter are taking cues from cult-institution forebears Aura Noir but accelerating up the evolutionary chain far quicker...or simply that Fatal Visions is THE Now Sound of Inculter.
