On October 25th, 2024 we'll pop the corks and the good piece will enter your homes and blast out of your speakers, better than ever, because good music still sounds best on high-quality records.

Formed in 1990 in Gothenburg Sweden by twin brothers Per (‘Hellbutcher’) and Erik (‘Tyrant’) Gustafsson, early incarnations of the band featured Jon Nödtveidt and John Zwetsloot of Dissection in their ranks, and in total the band recorded four full length albums and several EP’s until recently splitting up,and splintering into two new acts finally laying Nifelheim to rest. Nifelheim found mainstream exposure and were dubbed ‘Bröderna hårdrock’ (‘Heavy Metal Brothers’) in 1998 when Tyrant and Hellbutcher were featured in a Swedish TV documentary detailing their superfan obsession with Iron Maiden.

Crypt of the Wizard is proud to announce the debut LP from Riders of Rohan. Arise now, arise, and listen to these here ballads of courage, kinship, gracious good and ultimate evil heralded by Sweden's Riders of Rohan. This power trio of epic proportions was forged in the dark smithies of Gothenburg and founded of black steel by Marcus Ferreira Larsen at No Master's Voice studio in Copenhagen. Our heroes play an enchanted breed of heavy adventure-rock, where KISS-like melodies merge with the punk rock 'n' roll delivery of Dead Moon to tell tales written for the love of Tolkien. Don't miss out on the first release from this fine fellowship. Stream it now or look out for it on cassette and vinyl later on this year. Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Death! Death! Death! Forth Eorlingas!

Celestial rust vinyl, limited to 300 copies.Melodic death metal trio ASTRALBORNE are set to release their sophomore full-length, Across the Aeons, via Prosthetic Records on July 28. Across the Aeons sees the Midwest,US band dauntlessly grapple with humanity's cosmic indifference within the universe, pulling influence from philosophical cosmicism and fantasy fiction. After their 2020 debutalbum, Eternity's End, introduced ASTRALBORNE as accomplished purveyors of both compellingly intricate melodicism and dexterous brutality in equal measure, Across theAeons' creative process began immediately following their lauded first full-length release.Across the Aeons' 12 tracks chart a journey of acceptance in the face of humankind's impermanence within a cosmic void, be it Fuzinski's bellowing promise of hell itself, "chaos,death and fire" on lead single War Vessel or interdimensional overlap on Gemini's celestial death metal pomp. Elsewhere ASTRALBORNE team up with labelmates Steve Redmond(Foretoken, The Day of the Beast) and Yegor Savovin (Fires in the Distance) on December Flower and the resplendent mid-album instrumental Promethean Fire respectively.ASTRALBORNE's interstellar voyage is visually brought to life in evocative fashion by Spanish artist Juanjo Castellano (The Black Dahlia Murder, Voidceremony, Coffins). For asalone as we may be in the cosmos of ASTRALBORNE's second full-length, Across the Aeons shirks the nihilistic connotations of such a realisation, opting instead to revel in the totality of all beings and things.

American one-man nuclear black industrial weapon Uranium returns, transmuted into its most astonishing and terrifying form yet. A statement of unseen magnitude and scope, the second full length album Pure Nuclear Death sees the enigmatic East Coast visionary harness a realm of terror and death-torn sonic immensity rarely, if ever, seen before in this plane of reality. Clear from the title alone, Pure Nuclear Death embodies the triumph, definition and consecration of a vision and concept which in the span of a just a couple of years and releases so far has already become classic and by all standards and measures, simply unrivaled. Awe-inducing, imposing and inexorably devastating, Pure Nuclear Death comprises thirty six minutes, split up into five tracks, of omnipotent, death-heaving black industrial immensity designed to devour the listener and deliver to them a world-ending payload of absolute death. The legacy of bludgeoning, visionary post-industrial acts like Godflesh and early (Cop, Filth-era) Swans transposed into total oblivion and coerced into a monstrous, lightless abyss of tectonic and crushing blackened electronics. An antihuman concept on nuclear energy and its most godly and terrifying traits incarnated in a sound which is its perfectly executed and envisioned embodiment. An indissoluble fusion reaction between a concept extrapolated from science, ethical literature and philosophy to convey realities of daunting scientific an technological darkness, and a god-like sound assembled from a critical mass of cataclysmic power electronics, apocalyptic industrial and black metal chained together into an otherworldldly sonic weapon of absolute atomic death.

Aeternus was formed by Ares in 1993 in Bergen, Norway, and pioneered the genre known as Dark Metal; combining Black Metal and Death Metal with elements of classical and folk music. The band creates its trademark sound by layering superlative guitar playing and haunting, melodic interludes. Its current line-up comprises guitarist/vocalist Ares, guitarist Gorm, bassist Eld and drummer Phobos.

Los Angeles-based dark melodic metal outfit Witherfall proudly presents their fourth full-length, “Sounds Of The Forgotten”, via DeathWave Records. With predecessor "Curse Of Autumn" garnering high praise in Metal Insider, Deaf Forever, and KNAC.com, as well as admirable positions on Germany’s Top 20 Albums chart and Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums and Billboard 100 chart, “Sounds Of The Forgotten" advances Witherfall to legendary status with its epic, foreboding expanse. The album is supported by an ambitious schedule of seven singles, each with an official video linking the album’s story of heartbreak, anger, and tenacity. This is genuinely Witherfall, always willing to go the extra mile to outclass the past.

Witherfall was formed in Los Angeles in 2013. Joseph Michael (also of Sanctuary fame) and Jake Dreyer (ex-Iced Earth/Demons & Wizards) built their new band around drummer Adam Sagan (rip) and accomplished bassist Anthony Crawford (Allan Holdsworth, Chon). Since then, the group have released three highly regarded albums: "Nocturnes And Requiems" (2017), "A Prelude To Sorrow" (2018), and "Curse Of Autumn" (2021) and an EP "Vintage" (2019). Not one to cut corners, Witherfall enlisted famed drummer Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats, Steven Wilson, Jordan Rudess) on "Curse Of Autumn", ensuring the foundations of singles 'As I Lie Awake', 'The Other Side Of Fear', and 'The River' were second to none. On "Sounds Of The Forgotten", Minnemann returns to the fold with an album-only appearance, while drummer Chris Tsaganeas (Wax Owls) and multi-instrumentalist Gerry Hirschfeld (Willie Nelson) Witherfall’s newest permanent members.

Every Witherfall album is a defining moment. From the moment "Nocturnes And Requiems" thundered across metaldom to the group’s wine endeavours (Tempest Red Blend) with Charlie & Echo Winery, their video collaboration with Cig Neutron (Devil’s Workshop) on 'The Other Side Of Fear', a beer partnership with Adroit Theory Brewing Company (Shadows Black Ipa), and custom Funko Pop set, Michael and Dreyer have made Witherfall their mission. The journey to this point hasn’t been without toil and upheaval. Determination, however, is the key. Today, Witherfall brings “Sounds Of The Forgotten" to the masses. Experience it all with them.
