Golden Vinyls.

To understand the defining traits of Greek Black Metal, one need only to listen to “The Tressrising of Nyarthotep” by the mighty Varathron. This track, first appearing on the “genesis of Apocryphal Desire” demo, possesses all of the victorious grandeur and tragic melancholia that are the essence of the early 1990’s Greek Black Metal sound. Along with contemporary releases by Rotting Christ and Necromantia, Varathron’s demo material firmly established a style that is thoroughly Grecian in character. Thick with a damp and heavy Hellenistic darkness, Varathron explored a sound that was infused with the epic and the ancient. As with so much of the most evocative and potent Black Metal, the ancient currents are revealed through the expression of the modern. Varathron’s music is as mystical as it is visceral. The recordings on this compilation comprise the earliest seeds of what would become one of the greatest bands in the history of the genre. This collection contains all of Varathron’s work leading the band toward the creation of their monumental debut LP, “His Majesty at the Swamp.” The two demos, “Procreation of the Unaltered Evil” and “Genesis of Apocryphal Desire” reveal the steps that Varathron took that would later come to fruition on their first album. This collection also contains the more refined tracks that were utilized on their first vinyl releases – the “One Step Beyond Dreams“ EP and “The Everlasting Sins” tracks from the split LP with Necromantia – and three additional bonus tracks recorded during the early years. As with the forthcoming Rotting Christ demo collection that NWN! will soon release, the songs on this compilation of Varathron’s early recordings reveal the painstaking emergence of a band’s identity. Absorbed in the context of early works by Varathron’s Greek contemporaries, one also witnesses the development of a sound uniquely specific to a geographic region, so specific, in fact, that it is impossible to imagine such a multidimensional approach to Black Metal originating anywhere else. Both the Regular and Die Hard editions of this release will feature gatefold jackets with artwork by Manuel Tinnemans and layout by Tilmann Benninghaus as well as a 48 page zine booklet. The Die Hard edition will also come with a separate LP (with jacket) featuring the “Live at the Swamp” demo material. Originally released on tape in 2004, “Live at the Swamp” features a live recording and rehearsal recording from 1991. These recordings have been remastered and cleaned up by James Plotkin and the sound quality on this LP, although still quite raw, is markedly better than the original tape version.

HERETICAL SECT is a reclusive collective fixated on the physical and spiritual genocides of the Southwest. 

The Southwest; represented through a nostalgic lense of cowboy culture, rarely exposes the most brutal atrocities of American history. Churches chained shut and lit on fire with the congregation inside, severed limbs piled in the streets, and disease and slavery are burned into the memory of the landscape. These horrors are sonically juxtaposed against the natural beauty of the high desert. Expansive skies, deep canyons, painted red rocks, all witnesses to untold butchery and grief. 

HERETICAL SECT features members of other prominent Santa Fe (NM) bands, yet members remain hooded and anonymous. Although the band rarely appears live, it is a primary conceptual entity for its members. May all life learn to die.

Translucent Gold w/ Swamp Green/Red/White - Splattered Vinyl

Vinyl reissue of INCANTATION’s acclaimed 2000 full-length The Infernal Storm! First released at the turn of the century, the band’s album The Infernal Storm has more than weathered the test of time and still stands as a punishing, top-tier extreme metal release today.

"Depravation" recorded in analog system. Old reel tapes in the city of lima- country: Peru, South America. Now again in CD/LP formats. After releasing the hit debut album "Demoniac Flagellations" in 2004, this group of Peruvian alcoholics evoked us to drink and write music for this insane new album. For those who never heard of us in the past, we play a mix of Black, Thrash and fast Death Metal, in the vein of old South American devils like Sarcofago Sepultura, Vulcano and American line like Morbid Angel, Death, Deicide.
Well, they can only hear a lot of wicked metallic chaos. If you're looking for a dose of energy and hate to mosh your bedroom walls when it plays underground, remember to thank me for this recommendation after listening to this album! The drummer here mercilessly thrashes throughout the entire album, the bassist/vocalist executes well both the 4-string desecration works and the throat torments, reminiscent of the era of "I.N.R.I." Wagner Antichrist himself!
The guitarist delivers not only fast and furious riffs, but also fucking aggressive solos! If you expected these Peruvian blasphemers to pity your ears by providing clean productions, you were sorely mistaken! This album has raw anal(og) production straight out of Peruvian hell! Some of the songs here are performed in their native languages, and some are sung in raw-as-life English, but I guess the lyrics you won't understand aren't much of a loss, as the (really!) strong side of this product it's merciless music! It's abundantly clear why this album got a huge vinyl release from From Beyond! With cover artwork done by Spanish master Juanjo Castellano.
A must have in your collection!

Double-disc edition of mayhem's early rehearsals from 1986, paving the way for the cult 'Pure Fucking Armageddon' demo recording.

Since their formation in 2007, MINENWERFER have pursued a proud 'n' pure vision of black metal idiosyncratically focused on World War I - idiosyncratic, in the sense that the band hail from America but mostly sing in German. What has resulted is a startlingly accomplished canon that has quietly built itself into prolific proportions, with their first album arriving in 2010, followed by albums in 2012 and 2019, and a slew of split releases and EPs in the interim.

That second album, Nihilistischen, took a moodier turn from MINENWERFER's throttling debut album, Volkslieder. But while a relative expansion of dynamics made their songs sound even more epic, the duo likewise upped the muscle to their attack, arriving at a thicker soundfield than that no-less-considerable predecessor. What results is a work equally steeped in the ugly underground and the yonder battlefields of professionalism.
