The House is one of the many names of Vladimir Pavelka (Cult Of Fire, Death Karma).
As a small child, he watched Evil Dead on a VHS tape by accident. It left him scared, but he also started to be fascinated with death and horror films. At the age of 17, he stole his school's money and used it to buy his first guitar. It was clear that he wasn't going to play folk songs but something darker and more terrifying. At 19, he began working in a morgue where his fascination with death deepened to such an extent that it became his daily routine and a part of his life to this day. Now you can enjoy his tribute to famous horror soundtracks and films.
Let there be death and horror!

2022 reissue - gatefold cover - black vinyl

Now unleashed! Osmose Productions presents the reissue of the 2004 Axis of Advance album “Obey” on CD / LP. 8 attacks of chaotic, technical, militant black metal.

Anguished vocals praying for war and death upon the corrupted. Razor sharp guitars pushing inverted riffs and pounding wrath in all directions. Mind numbing nuclear drone bass hypnotizing all into mental submission and final defeat. Hammered down with a wave of chaotic artillery percussion devastation and a prophetic lyrical concept outlining the horrors that lay ahead. In wait lie, in wait lie, reverse the curse from the inside. In wait lie, waiting to die, give me my war cowards! Mankind is the weakest link in the chain – broken at long last! Hail the end….

Re-issue, 293x bloodred with black marble effect 12" (180g) in a black poly-lined innerbag, download card, gatefold jacket, full-color - black flood inside on 350g with UV partial lacquer, all assembled in a PVC overbag.

4th press deluxe edition: heavy, 180 grams, black/white super marble vinyl; Black cardboard sleeve and inlay with pantone-silver print; Black, poly-lined innersleeve and plastic outer sleeve.     

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.

Of those many short-length releases, Der Rote Kampfflieger is the oldest and perhaps most curious. Here, MINENWERFER offered the new track “Ace of Aces,” the reworked “Albatros in Flammen,” and two very surprising covers: deep martial industrial artist Striider's “Schüzengraben” and legendary shredder Yngwie J. Malmsteen's early scorcher “I am a Viking.” MINENWERFER for sure have their own identifiable sound, but they're not afraid to push it in strange directions from time to time.

300x gold with black marble effect 12" (180g) in a black poly-lined innerbag, download card, gatefold full color on 350g, all assembled in a PVC overbag.

Re-issue, 250x orange crush with black marble effect 12" (180g) in a black poly-lined innerbag, gatefold, full-color with black flood inside on 350g with UV partial lacquer, all assembled in a PVC overbag.
 

Black Vinyl

Behind Dim Lights hides Finnish award-winning composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Ville Pallonen, founder of Chaoswaves Composing and better known to the extreme metal world as V-Khaoz. After receiving great praise with several black metal projects, namely Vargrav and Olio Tahtien Takana, Pallonen decided to (temporarily?) put metal aside and focus on pure electronic music, and dystopic and futuristic tunes are what you should expect while making your way through Dim Lights dreamy, melancholic notes. The work of great composers and electronic producers coexist inside V-KHaoz music, the offspring of both the ‘80s cyberpunk and the ‘20s videogame culture.

please note: this vinyl is included in Circle of Wax #5 and will be sent to serial - subscribers

Stjärnfält is a musical project led by M. Originally from Australia, at some point the mysterious multi-instrumentalist relocated to Sweden, where he still lives to this day.

Lapporten is the project sophomore album and follows two years after the debut Ascension. These four, atmospheric, trancey tracks are a detail of M.'s travels through northern Sweden, and attempt to capture it's contradicting nature of isolation and expanse; bleakness and beauty.

Let Stjärnfält guide you up the “Kebnekaise”, Sweden’s highest mountain, wander with him through the green area of “Bruksleden” and behold the magnificent “Polarsken” and Séracs. Lapporten itself stands for “The Lapponian Gate”, a u-shaped valley located in Lapland.

Merging dreamy, hypnotic atmospheric metal with icy electronic trance soundscapes, M. describes Stjärnfält's music as "melancholic optimism".

Black Vinyl

Pressed on gold / black galaxy effect heavy vinyl. Comes with a 2-page insert, an A2 poster and a download card. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.

The wonderfully productive Swiss atmospheric Black Metal band AARA return with urgency to unleash "Triade II: Hemera", their 4th full-length since 2019 and the second chapter of the Melmoth trilogy.

Based upon the 1820 Gothic novel 'Melmoth the Wanderer' by Charles Robert Maturin - and closely connected in style and atmosphere to 2021's initial instalment "Triade I: Eos" - each of the 6 brutally melodic tracks follows the book's chronological mid-point narrative in a dazzling critical examination of theism and scepticism through the medium of top-tier Black Metal.

Although conceptually aligned with part one of the trilogy, "Triade II: Hemera" further-advances the AARA sound into realms of progressive extremity: defined once again by the beauteous lead melodies of composer/guitarist Berg, the record combines a raw violent undertow with subtle rhythmic shifts, left-field riffs/refrains and sublimated vocal savagery - interweaving Christian choirs, the Jewish shofar horn and traditional Indian vocal samples into yet another outstanding offering from an unstoppable young band overflowing with ideas and confidence.

Pressed on blood red w/ black spinner effect heavy vinyl. Side B contains no music but features a white screen print. Comes with a 2-page 12"x12" insert and a download card.

"All Christianity Ends" is a brutally-focused reminder that while the infamous Finnish Black/Death Metal legends continue to evolve, develop and even 'refine' their hellish sound over recent full-lengths, the elemental building blocks of classic ARCHGOAT remain sequenced in their DNA.

An essential companion piece to "Worship the Eternal Darkness" and a natural continuation of 1993's "Angelcunt" EP, Ritual Butcherer (guitars/composition) and Lord Angelslayer (bass/vocals) here vomit forth with the magickal energy, raw guttural power and bowel-churning savagery to which we've become accustomed since the band’s 1989 formation.

4 bludgeoning, inimitable new tracks to reaffirm that oldest adage: you can never have enough ARCHGOAT.
