After 30 years, EDGE OF SANITY’s seminal fourth album, “Purgatory Afterglow”, is now remastered and even remixed by songwriter/frontman/producer Dan Swanö (Opeth, Dissection, Katatonia, etc). First released in 1994, the reissue is finally available again on Limited Deluxe 2CD Jewelcase with O-Card (With the “Until Eternity Ends” 4-track EP as bonus) and on various 180g vinyl editions. Featuring the catchy crush of “Twilight”, the blistering “Of Darksome Origin”, the slow groove of “Velvet Dreams” and EDGE OF SANITY’s breakout hit “Black Tears”, “Purgatory Afterglow” is a triumph of cutting-edge death metal. This 30th Anniversary edition features the original mix/master and as bonus also a total mix rework of the album Swanö calls “vibrant and fresh”. Rediscover EDGE OF SANITY’s “Purgatory Afterglow” before X-machines end us all!

”Djevelkraft” gathered enough attention in 2021 to boost MYRONATH quotations and their third opus, “Inferno”, delivers a perfectly structured Swedish black metal record, balanced between bangers, sulphuric mid-tempos and melodic breaks. Guided by the harsh but understandable vocals of Hellcommander Vargblood and sustained by a blasting drumwork and killer riffings, the nine compositions of “Inferno” deal with occult matter, anti-christian themes and hellish landscapes.

“Inferno” was recorded, mixed and mastered at Endarker Sudio, in Norrköping by Devo Andersson (Marduk)

the “INFERNO”!

Repress 2023

With an inception going back to 2019, Defacement rapidly gained momentum within the underground realms with two full-length records marked by an intense and experimental take on death and black metal, Deviant (2019) and self-titled Defacement (2021). Three long years after their latest output, the international band flares its cryptic head yet again with an epic tome of twisted and gnarly emanations, an immersive pathway into the void entitled Duality.

Defacement's third studio record is challenging and confrontational in its invocation of primal forces lying dormant in the world below. Inspired by the unfathomable, shadowy corners of human existence, Defacement hatches a penetrating sonic journey, unpredictable in its own dynamic, ever-changing form. Intricate and complex riffing lay as a basis for dexterous melodies, making Duality the most complete and mature among the band’s outputs. The cold and experimental interludes entangled between tracks, serve as halting moments that further the conceptuality of Duality and broaden the gist of the main songs.

The tremendous rhythmic section, a complex and throbbing pulse of drumming fierceness and serpentine bass playing, is superiorly captured by the dynamic and organic production, a vigorous sound that evokes both an oppressive aura and wistful solemnity. Gabriele Gramaglia (Cosmic Putrefaction, Vertebra Atlantis) and Simon Da Silva (Aversio Humanitatis) took care respectively of the mixing and mastering, finely crafting the details of Defacement’s new album.

Scald from Yarsoslavl in Russia were formed by bassist Velignor in the second half of 1993. A year later their first proper demo tape »North Winds« was recorded. However, it was their cassette album under the original title of »Will Of Gods Is A Great Power«, released in October 1997 on MetalAgen (one of the biggest labels in Russia at the time), that made them an underground cult name in international doom circles. At this point in time their charismatic singer Agyl was already dead (he was tragically killed in a train accident on September 6th 1997), and the band as such didn’t exist anymore. 24 years later, in 2021, High Roller Records issued the ultimate edition of the album under the new title of »Will Of The Gods Is Great Power«. As a result, Scald were gaining battalions of new fans and went on to achieve a whole new level of popularity. After a one-off live appearance at the Hammer Of Doom festival in 2019 and a 7” single called »There Flies Our Wail!« on High Roller in 2021, Scald are back for good with a brand new studio album aptly christened »Ancient Doom Metal«. It was recorded by the four original Scald members Velingor (bass), Harald (guitars), Karry (guitars), Ottar (drums and percussion) plus Felipe Plaza Kutzbach (known for his work with Procession and Capilla Ardiente) on vocals.

As the album unfolds, so does the narrative of death's unwritten pages, each track a testament to the inevitability of oblivion. While firmly rooted in black metal, the album is full of variation ranging from fast-paced blasts to doom-like passages and everything in between. The riffs pay homage to the iconic black metal bands of the 90s that shaped the genre, all the while carving out their own distinct trajectory. To create that extra layer of atmosphere, the songs are adorned with evocative acoustic & lead guitars and subtle synths.
