Death metal band Eternal Dirge was formed in 1986 and released four demos and 2 full length albums. They played an early American style of death metal blended with Teutonic thrash, different to any other European death metal band of the time. Their second album from 1996 "Khaos Magick", showed a similar contempt for contemporary metal trends. There were no concessions to the more popular metallic sounds of that time; groove metal, melodic death metal, black metal. Eternal Dirge were a genuine band with their own sound. They made music that reflected their interests and Lovecraftian worldview. Khaos Magick is the most dark yet atmospherically album from their catalogue. Somewhere comparable to early Septic Flesh or Rotting Christ & Necromantia with the dark keyboard sounds and repetitive riffs or even Nocturnus. And of course the heavily rooted German Death and thrash metal influences

Recorded Live at Balboa Theater, Los Angeles, CA, USA on January 3, 1986.

Hailing from Switzerland, SAMAEL is a trailblazing force in the metal scene, known for their ability to evolve and push boundaries. Emerging in the late '80s, the band carved their place in history by blending black metal roots with industrial and atmospheric elements, creating a sound that is both brutal and mesmerizing.

With their third album, Ceremony of Opposites (originally issued in 1994), SAMAEL achieved cult status. This iconic record merges haunting atmospheres, powerful riffs, and ritualistic lyrics into a masterpiece that redefined the genre. Tracks like “Baphomet's Throne” and “Celebration of the Fourth” showcase their ability to balance darkness and melody, cementing their legacy as innovators in extreme metal.

After 4 long years of silence and absence in the fog of the pandemic and war, like a heavy sledgehammer rushing towards your head, Pyre returns with their third full-length murderous opus.
With the unique fresh-sounding production but yet traditionally made in the old-school vein, along with the new level of performance, the new album delivers mid-tempo darkness and colder atmosphere of their previous album, complemented by classic phrases of band's well-known high-speed crushing low-tuned rattling riffage with obscure melodies and solos and surely recognizable signature frantic voice.

Reissue of Azarath's third full-length studio album from 2006. Remastered at Satanic Audio (Behemoth, Pestilence, Malevolent Creation).

Azarath needs no introduction to the connoisseurs of sonic terror. The band crept from the shadows over two decades ago and is often described as a demonic mutation of Krisiun, Behemoth and Immolation. "Dibaolic Impious Evil" was recorded by co-founder/drummer Inferno (of Behemoth fame), guitarists Bart (Damnation, Armagedon) & Thrufel, and vocalist/bassist Bruno.
