High Roller Records, transparent ultra clear with red and yellow "Fire Splatter" vinyl, ltd 300, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, lyric sheet printed on uncoated paper, A5 photo card, finally available on vinyl, After Canadian thrash metal legends Razor had released their self-financed debut EP »Armed And Dangerous« in 1984, they were surprised to get the attention of Attic Records, the country?s leading major record company at the time. The band soon inked a deal with the label and was destined to spearhead the company?s new Viper Records division. »Escape The Fire« was originally planned to be the follow-up to »Armed And Dangerous« but in the end it did not work out like this. Attic put pressure on the young band and had their own ideas of shaping the future of Razor. The result was »Executioner?s Song«. Original bassist Mike Campagnolo tells the whole story: ?Let?s face it, when any young band is given a shot at a record deal, it usually leans heavily in the label?s favour. Sure, we were inexperienced but they were also treading in unknown waters with the new Viper division, so there was a bit of lost advantage all around. I think we learned a bit from each other but hey, it?s usually the person with the cash making the final decisions. The main problem was that they were trying to cash in on anything we released instead of promoting a newer direction as the metal scene began to get harder and faster. They really didn?t grasp how the scene was changing and progressing and didn?t really get ahead of that wave. They had a pattern of how to deal with artists and stuck to that formula instead of seeing that this genre was here to stay and not just a fad. Attic showed that strategy with »Executioner?s Song« when they wanted some songs off of »Armed And Dangerous« and the »Escape The Fire« demo to create that release.? »Escape The Fire« was originally recorded on December 1st 1984 at Future Sound studios in Toronto and was produced by Terry Morostega (who had worked on »Armed And Dangerous«) along with Dave Carlo. As Mike Campagnolo explains, after »Armed And Dangerous« Razor were ?firing on all cylinders?: ?It would have been interesting to see how »Escape The Fire«, if released in its original form, would have been received by metal fans. It would?ve probably pushed some of the »Executioner?s Song« material onto »Evil Invaders« and who knows if it would have altered the progression of the band in any way??

Extremely putrid-fresh from the cabalistic land of Sweden comes
Death Metal supremos TEMISTO, with their brand new debut magnum-occultus simply entitled "Temisto".

Blending a perfect mix of the blasphemous nature that is Death Metal with bursts of intricate maze-like passages executed with razor sharp precision, TEMISTO undoubtedly exudes an unspeakable zeal for the obscurity and unworldly.

Produced and engineered by ex-Morbus Chron frontman Robert Andersson with Elias Scharmer (ex-Abduction, ex-Mutilate) and then painstakingly mastered at Necromorbus Studio by Tore Stjerna (Watain, Desultory, Repugnant, etc). Also featuring the gracefully morbid artwork of Obsessed By Cruelty (Enforcer, Sabbat, Wolfbrigade, etc).

For fans of Autopsy, Morbus Chron, Obliteration, Morbid Angel, etc
 

Hailing from Italy, TALV started in early 2012 under the name of Trees In The Fog. Their purpose has always been to merge dissonant and melancholic black metal with a touch of ambient music.
Like painting a dismal scenario, TALV’s new effort is drowned into the darkest north-Italian naturalistic black metal inspiration. The cold and freezing guitar sound reminds of Tenebrae in Perpetuum and Beatrik’s classics, while the prevailing desperate feelings position the band within the groove of depressive black metal.
What makes of Talv a personal and unique project is the wise equilibrium between a hateful, cold hunger and a fragile background soundscape. The ColdWorld cover further emphasizes the strong visionary ambient perspective and inspiration of this raising underground project.

Debut EP of Germany's Isgalder on A5 digipak CD (lim 200)

"Impassioned pagan metal by new heroes in folkish black metal."
 

A split release on Aesthetic Death which churns between the unrelenting ravages of psychic whorror and the transcendent euphoria of a catatonic void; sometimes simultaneously manifesting both experiences in mind rupturing harmony. The Starless Domain trio are joined by Mories to deliver guest vocals for an extra void of blackening torn through the mix. The Tomes duo of Hermes and Dictator conjuring storm and stillness from all manner of organic and electronic fauna.
