WORSHIP VINYL: TANKARD Early Works Reissue



Unfortunately there are too many youn thrash Metal bands trying to be the new TANKARD, singing about beer and pizza, its a shame because we sill have the true TANKARD!...or at least, good old TANKARD.

"Chemical Invasion" was the fist album I heard from the German Thrashers and I really liked it, then came "The Morning After" and finally I heard "Zombie Attack", to discover the band´s origins, but the album that sounded on my cassette player commonly was "Chemical Invasion".
Then albums like "The Meanign Of Life" (wich was simply ok) followed, but let´s say that the cold beer warmed up and I lost interest in their music, the band didn´t hooked me anymore, but hey!, it was fun for a while.

Noise records is reissuing the first three LPs + "Alien" EP on vinyl. So if you want to go "For A Thousand Beers" or "666 Packs" to get drunk with your friends (or alone) and have some fun you have now a good chance...

Zombie Attack - Tankard´s debut album, released in 1986 was full of parody and full throttle thrash metal.  Many of the ten tracks here originally featured on their "Alcoholic Metal" demo and with subject matter like horror movies, moshing and beer they made many fans across the burgeoning thrash metal sene with their hardcore punk tinged thrash. Fast, Furious, catchy and above all fun - Zombie Attack spawned live classics such as "(Empty) Tankard".

Chemical Invasion - Tankard´s sophomore album, followed their debut in 1987 and shifted the gears up a notch in terms of technicality and prodution. Still with their tingues wedged in their cheeks, these nine tracks feature their slapstick delivery but this time added power and precision. This album saw them break out of the underground and made thrash fans sit up and take notice globally.

The Mornig After/Alien - The band third studio album was released in 1988 and followed by the "Alien" EPthe following year. By now Tankard were a force to be reckoned with and their nabe was muttered in the same breath as their German counterparts Kreator and Destruction. Continuing with their now signature, furious thrash inimitable with these releases elevated the band further during 80´s thrash explosion.

The LPs will be released next November 24th on limited splatter vinyl. Pre-order here.

SATYRICON "To Your Brethren In The Dark" Official Music Video


SATYRICON premierded on Diablorock.com video clip of the track "To Your Brethren In The Dark". I just want to say that I like the video and I like the song even more.  And I also want to reproduce here Satyr´s words (very cool and interesting) about the vide and the song:

"I wanted "To Your Brethren in the Dark" to be a director´s interpretation of the song, rather than a band performance type of thing. Seeing what we do through the eyes of another artist is always interesting to me and just like the song, the video has become a little bit of a journey on it´s own. "To Your Brethren In The Dark" is definitely one of the flagship songs on the record. It is about emotion, our nature, the spirits, the autumn, the somber and rainy days, those who we lost and the ones who we have not met yet. You could say it is a tribute to the sorrow in man and to the drama of the nature we surround ourselves with. A song for the dark towers of the past and those who will rise in the future. Pass the torch to your brethren in the dark."

A harsh and dark recording is lurking in the shadows, and it will unleash his wrath on October 31st through I Voidhanger Records (Digipack CD) and Invictus Productions (vinyl version).

"The Crowning Quietus" is the second full lenght of the Manchester-based band INCONCESSUS LUX LUCIS.  Rough, catchty, dirty black metal, or black n´ roll to some.  Check out the two tracks already unveiled.. "At The Behest Of The Sinister Impulse" and the tittle track.  Grrrrreat!









WORSHIP VINYL: UNHOLY "From The Shadows" & "Second Ring Of Power" Reissue




Obscure, complex, atmospheric, and (to some people) even psychedelic  doom! All this can be applied to the music of the great Finnish band UNHOLY.

The band released the debut album "From The Shadows" in 1993 and the sophomore "The Second Ring of Power" in 1994.  Both records are great from an unusual band that went beyond of just writing and playing death/black/funeral doom, and both albums are now presented on vinyl for the first time!

"From The Shadows" - released in 1993 is known for possessing a dark textured Death/Doom Metal style mixed with unusual, often avant-garde, arrangementes. UNHOLY´s willingness to experiment with sounds and moods helped create a strong and uniquely twisted atmosphere as slow pounding Doom Metla epics are aided by the pressence of creeping synths."

"The Second Ring Of Power - originally released in 1994, continued the boundary-breaking approach to experimental Doom Metal which the band had established with From The Shadows, mixing Metal with strong atmospherics and unusual structures."

This are the kind of reissues really worth to rescue good old rare and worth recordings! Both on double gatefold vinyl. Check them out here.










PESTILENCE "Hadeon" New Album in 2018 (Update)



PESTILENCE revealed cover artwork for "Hadeon", created by Santiago Francisco Jaramillo from Triple Seis Design. "The concept is based on a multi-layered reality, alien presence and negative frequencies".



PESTILENCE will return with a new album next year.  “Hadeon" will be released on March 1st 2018.

The band posted on their facebook page the following words of the new bassplayer Tilen Hudrap about the new album: "Mameli really went back to the vibe/energy of the early 90's with a 21st century twist on the upcoming Pestilence album "Hadeon"! Killer stuff, 12 pieces of complete brutality and fusion...I can't wait for y'all to hear it! Artwork, tech info and first tour dates soon! It will be a long wait (release date: March 1st) so in the meantime blast this classic instead! The Pest is back!"

Let´s hope we can hear a new track soon, stay tuned
