DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Portraits of Dismay, a special singles compilation by Italian BUNKER 66, on CD format.

The Italian three-piece is known as a prolific work horse, clocking in at currently 4 full length albums. It is however their many split releases with infamous underground hordes that showcase their addiction and dedication to the underground. Graced with an incredible artwork by Claudio Scialabba, Bunker 66’s direction is made clear from the get go. Evil and raw blackened speed/thrash is what listeners can expect from them.

Since most of these 7” and 12” splits have been available on vinyl only until now, this 18 songs and 12 years spanning CD compilation has been inevitable.

IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT RELEASE COVER OF METALLICA´S "MOTORBREATH"

PRESS RELEASE:

 Avantgarde metal trio Imperial Triumphant has dropped a brand new single: a cover of Metallica's "Motorbreath"!

The fourth in a series of covers, "Motorbreath" can be heard now here: https://ImperialTriumphant.lnk.to/Motorbreath-CoverVersion    

Steve Blanco (bass) comments: "As a metal band, only a fool would believe we aren't influenced by Metallica. Many miles and hours traversing the northern hemisphere have we listened to the live & studio Metallica greatness from the 1980s and 1990s, and so have we decided to pay homage with a nostalgic cover from that earliest album recorded in upstate NY. Play it loud because metal is the law."  

Read more from Imperial Triumphant about this cover and Metallica's influence on their music via a new Decibel interview with Editor-in-Chief Albert Mudrian here:

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Germany’s SAVAGE, Glory Riders, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Hailing from Bavaria, SAVAGE formed in 2019 and promptly began solidifying their aesthetic. Then a trio, SAVAGE’s sound remained firmly within the 1980s, and specifically on the darker and more dangerous side of the Sunset Strip – namely W.A.S.P. and early Mötley Crüe. The first sinful fruit was borne with their self-titled debut EP, which was recorded at the end of 2021 and then self-released during the following summer. Strictly DIY from mixing and mastering to promotion and distribution, Savage showed that SAVAGE had the fire already raging: word of mouth spread worldwide, the record nearly sold out, and work had already begun on their debut full-length!

Now with the addition of rhythm guitarist Alex “Axel” Warrior, SAVAGE have at least developed into the (fuck-like-a) beast they always aimed for, and are prepared to deliver a bound-to-be-classic debut album: Glory Riders. Almost presciently titled, Glory Riders soon becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of dirty and raw metal – or, as the band rightly liken it, MEAN HEAVY METAL. From sound and spirit on down to production and overall attitude, SAVAGE have the sleaziest side of classic American metal down COLD…or, should that be “fiery”? Indeed, even with the categorically cruising mid-tempo at which they move, SAVAGE positively ooze energy every single second here; hooks and heaviness take equal weight, and there’s just the right amount of spaciousness here (ala W.A.S.P.’s nigh-untouchable opening trio of albums) to lend moodiness and mystery to the band’s stadium-ready bravura. Neither flashy nor rudimentary, Glory Riders is simply stripped-down and muscular where it needs to be, keeping emphasis on the songwriting (and solos!) and letting SAVAGE’s irresistible attitude take hold.

Without hyperbole, SAVAGE have hereby thrown down the gauntlet for any band, ever, attempting to invoke the sound & spirit of the aforementioned glory years of W.A.S.P., and Mötley Crüe. Further references include classic Twisted Sister, early Lizzy Borden, Halloween, Impaler, and even Coup d’état-era Plasmatics, but one listen to Glory Riders and you’ll be convinced that these still-young gods are the REAL fucking DEAL!

BATTALION RE-RELEASE "EVIL LEGIONS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

A bunch of young metalheads met at the Heavy Sound Festival (Poperinge Belgium) in 1985 and the idea of forming a metal band was born. Soon the first songs were written by Guy Commeene / guitar (Dyscordia, Anesthesy, Artrach,...) and Filip Vandamme / guitar. Filip also came up with the name “Battalion” due to the success of Metal Church’s classic debut album with the song “Battalions” on it. Geert Jacques / drums, Bart Lamsens / bass and Piet Overstijns / vocals

(Dyscordia, Artrach) completed the line-up. Piet was soon replaced by Geert ‘Wisten’ Wieczorek. After some smaller and bigger gigs all over Belgium with acts like Killer, Angel Dust, Xes, Tankard, Sodom,...

Stefaan ‘DC’ Deceunink (Buzzard, Wizz Wizzard) was also recruited to take over Geert’s drumming duties. With this line-up the first demo “Evil Legions” was recorded in a studio in Aalst. After that there were also some line-up changes and Reinier Schenk / guitar (Saille, Fleshmould, Yosh) and Stefaan Vanhoutte / bass (Stainless Steel,...). Despite of the line-up changes Battalion were disbanded after a relatively short time somewhere at the end of 1987 after the departure

of Guy. Yosh was formed from the remains of Battalion.

PEINE KAPITAL RELEASE "PEINE KAPITAL"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Peine Kapital

Peine Kapital

Sludgelord Records

27 October 2023

Prepare to plunge headfirst into the abyss of sonic despair as doom-sludge trio PEINE KAPITAL has announced they will release their new self-titled album this fall. Fans and music critics alike have lavished praise upon the band for their previous releases, with one review describing them as a “vital force in the current heavy landscape.” PEINE KAPITAL’s new album is their most ferocious and punishing work yet. It stands tall as a brutal forty-five minute magnum opus, and it features the band at their most nihilistic. With songs about depression, human decay, and man’s inherently animalistic nature, the album is as dark as it gets.

“It’s hard to be optimistic in such a fucked up world,” the band said of the pessimistic subject matter. “Because we witness violence and ugliness on a daily basis, we can’t help but make music that is aggressive and filthy.” On their self-titled effort, PEINE KAPITAL trudges through the dark underbelly of the human psyche, bringing back their findings to display them in the cold light of day for all to see. 

In addition to announcing the album, the three-piece have released the masterful first single, “Cour Bestiale”. The ten-minute track explores the struggle of man to overcome his nature and remain good in a world full of evil. “Cour Bestiale” is just a small taste of what the band has to offer on the new album, promising more doom and gloom in the very near future. Peine Kapital will be released via Sludgelord Records on October 27th. 

About PEINE KAPITAL:

Hailing from the picturesque city of Strasbourg in eastern France, PEINE KAPITAL emerges as a formidable force in the realm of sludge and doom metal. The three-piece powerhouse is comprised of Thibault Bru on drums, Benjamin Simon on bass, and Renaud Deschamps on guitars, with the latter two members performing double duty as vocalists. The band is a collective born from the ashes of their previous musical endeavor, THE PLEDGE OF CAIN, also known as T.P.O.C. During their time together, the band had an impressive run, sharing the stage with the likes of ELECTRIC WIZARD, SUMA, and NADJA. The year 2013 marked the end of an era as T.P.O.C. disbanded following an intense tour across the United States.

However, the three found the allure of heavy distortion and the thunderous cadence of slow pounding riffs proved too irresistible to ignore. In 2017, the trio reunited, their passion for the music they loved driving them to reconvene and create something new. Thus, PEINE KAPITAL was born. The band continues to push the boundaries of their genre, crafting an auditory experience that immerses listeners in their world of darkness and gloom. The trio manages to offer music that is abrasive and dynamic in equal measure, setting them apart from their contemporaries. With lyrics about politics and the state of the world at large, PEINE KAPITAL is a punch to the face, both sonically and psychologically. 

PEINE KAPITAL is:

Drums - Thibault Bru

Bass, Vocals - Benjamin Simon

Guitar, Vocals - Renaud Deschamps
