Blue vinyl - official 2022 reissue

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.

 Horror Music Vol3 B-Sides & Outtakes 2012-2022The collection will feature 16 tracks taken from the B sides of singles and bonus tracks released by the band between 2012 and 2022After the previous releases of Horror Music, from 1996 and, Horror Music Vol II Singles, Outtakes & Rare Tracks 1997/2007 from 2016, the new Horror Music Vol3 B-Sides & Outtakes 2012-2022, represents the complete and definitive collection of tracks never released on Steve Sylvester's official band records The tracks selected for this collection have been carefully remastered to ensure a complete and satisfying listening experience for long-time fans and those discovering this project for the first time

Endstille’s Kapitulation 2013 is a blistering statement of defiance, delivering a ferocious blend of relentless riffs, pounding drums, and sheer sonic violence. From start to finish, the album radiates unrelenting aggression, staying true to the band’s raw and uncompromising black metal roots.

Tracks like “Aborted” and “The Refined Nation” hit with devastating force, combining furious tremolo-picking guitars and relentless blast beats that feel like an unstoppable war machine marching forward. The production is sharp yet retains just the right amount of rawness, giving the music an authentic and hostile edge.

Vocalist Zingultus commands the soundscape with a venomous intensity, spitting each lyric with wrathful precision. The album’s bleak atmosphere is palpable, immersing the listener in a sonic assault that feels both chaotic and meticulously controlled. Kapitulation 2013 isn’t just an album – it’s a battlefield, a relentless barrage that refuses to compromise. For die-hard black metal fans, this record stands as a bold and powerful testament to Endstille’s unwavering dedication to the genre.

Prepare for total sonic annihilation.

This album is re-released in a Deluxe vinyl edition in two marbled colors: Marbled White/Black and Black/Red vinyl, each edition is limited to 500 copies.

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.

Released in 1992, "Abject offerings" represents today an incredible masterpiece of esoteric, mystical and blasphemous death metal. It has been a classic for more than 30 years and will forever be part of history.

A quality production that has stood the test of time, complex melodies, dark and memorable, powerful riffs, make this album an ode to violence, hatred and everything that hides in the depths of darkness.
UNHOLY DEATH METAL SHALL NO LONGER WAIT!
