PRESS RELEASE:
Release Date: 27th May 2022
FFO: Annihilator, Traitor, Overkill
Location: Germany
When Rezet´s most recent album Truth in Between effectively turned out to be a commercial nonstarter due to a certain virus, northern Germany´s finest in thrash quickly had to separate the wheat from the chaff… albeit not so much voluntarily as out of necessity. After amicably separating from guitarist Heiko Musolf and bass player Bjarne Otto, main composer, guitarist and singer Ricky Wagner shortly wondered whether he should put the band to rest but then decided differently. Contrarily, he set out to leave nothing to coincidence anymore, opting for a “no compromise” and do-it-yourself approach by continuing Rezet without label-support for the time being. This resolve triggered a burst of creativity, resulting in New World Murder, a four-track EP both revisiting the group´s roots as well as hinting towards a brighter future. Wagner and drummer Bastian “attt” Santen recruited four-stringer Lorenz Kandolf and second guitarist Jan-Erik Fischer to self-record three new songs as well as a flamboyant cover of Deep Purple´s proto metal classic ´Fireball´.
The material was then mixed and mastered by the band´s trusted sound engineer Eike Freese (amongst others Heaven Shall Burn, Helloween and, indeed, Deep Purple), with ´The Devil´s Bride´ being a perfect opener, blending acute Motörhead vibes with Ricky´s charismatic snarl and an almost Annihilator-esque playfulness, highlight the razor-sharp precision of Rezet´s new line-up. The rhythmically diverse, subtly melodic ´Dead End Walking´ is barbed with one of the catchiest riffs you may hear in 2022 and topped of by an atmospheric instrumental bridge whereas staccato earworm ´Alien Noises´ – featuring guest vocals by none other than German thrash pioneers Destruction´s front man Schmier – hits home even faster and will grace the soundtrack of the movie “Total Thrash”.
So there you have it: four smashers that sounds unpredictable and familiar alike, reflecting Ricky´s hands-on attitude. “In a way,” he concludes, “I see New World Murder in the spirit of Metallica, who also keep setting new goals for themselves, shedding their skin on a constant basis. Eventually, we reclaimed our joy in what we do simply by doing what we love without fulfilling expectations.” Old is the new New – so watch out and perk your ears for “The Great Rezet”!

PRESS RELEASE:
Lucid Grave
Cosmic Mountain
Electric Valley Records
15 July 2022
Genre: Dark Heavy Psych, Stoner/Doom
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Electric Valley Records presents Lucid Grave’s debut album, Cosmic Mountain, due out digitally and on vinyl (four editions) on 15 July 2022.
Lucid Grave is a dark heavy psychedelic band with stoner-doomy tendencies from Copenhagen, Denmark. Sonically, Lucid Grave is a boiling pot of heavy fuzz rock like Black Sabbath/Coven/Hawkwind and ‘80s punk like Black Flag/The Nuns/The Gun Club, all wrapped up in a nice blanket of modern heavy stoner rock and doom. Honoring the howling occult cinema of the ‘80s, Lucid Grave finds inspiration in everything that’s heavy, filthy, and free!
They emerged from the underground communal house and punk venue Ungdomshuset in the dying days of 2017. A few months later, in 2018, they released a self-titled demo and spent the next few years playing shows around Denmark with bands such as High Priestess, Cities of Mars, The Gates of Slumber, and Heathe, while making more materials as well. In 2020 Copenhagen label Virkelighedsfjern released Lucid Grave’s EP called Goddess of Misery, a venture that was seriously disrupted by the coronavirus outbreak — which meant no shows for a while. That time was instead spent on writing materials for their first full-length album. In 2021 they released a single called “Surfer Bat,” an upbeat ‘70s heavy Rock song with a twist of gothic punk vibes and a dash of Latin music. It caught the attention of the Italian heavy psych label Electric Valley Records.
Cosmic Mountain, the debut LP of Lucid Grave, is a journey through your favorite drugs of life, the highs, and the lows, being chased through the desert and fighting a haze of demons. The album was recorded live and over-dubbed in just three days at the beginning of 2022. As it was with the previous single, “Surfer Bat,” Patrick Fragtrup was again behind the mixing board for the session, and it is clear that there has developed an understanding between him and the band as this record sounds both huge and fierce without losing any clarity or energy from the group. The project was finished by Shane Trimble of High Reeper at his California studio.
On Cosmic Mountain, the eclectic inspirations of Lucid Grave come together in a new way. This is the first time they have released a long project, and the six songs on the album make for a coherent listen despite changes in style and tempo. From dusty desert blues to slow, heavy doom over straight-up space rock, this album takes many detours but lands safely because of the consistent production and the overarching lyrical themes. The lyrics on the album deal with the spiritual struggles of finding yourself and your place in this world. Sometimes these struggles are seen from the outside, sometimes they are described as demons, but most often, they are seen through the lens of drug use. Here you return to the picture of the Cosmic Mountain as the explorational grounds of the intronaut on her journey of self-discovery.
So come with Lucid Grave on this journey deeper and deeper…..

PRESS RELEASE:
SHURIKEN CADAVERIC ENTWINEMENT – CONSTRUCTING THE CATACLYSM
LABEL: COMATOSE MUSIC
RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 5th 2022
They pour through the demon gate, the hungry ghosts and the bringers of plague; the Oni with their horns and tusks and skin the colour of sickness. Driven on by Enma, Lord of Hell, they come like an endless tide, whipped into a frothing fury by their colossal hunger for human flesh. Yet all that awaits them is the steel of our katanas, the wicked blades of our naginatas, our resplendent banners of war and a code of honour stronger than death...
Drawing on the complex history and vibrant mythology of the samurai, the powerful warrior caste of feudal Japan, Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement have carved out their own kingdom of intense and characterful death metal. It’s been nearly a decade since multi-instrumentalist Jordan Varela (Lust Of Decay) and vocalist Jay Barnes (Cesspool Of Vermin) unveiled their second album, Resuscitating The Vile and it seemed that the demonic duo may have fallen on their swords, consigning Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement to the dust of ages. However the silence has now been irrevocably shattered as third album, Constructing The Cataclysm tears its way from the creative womb! Featuring eight songs of fiercely implacable death metal, bristling with riffs like lethal weapons and Barnes’ unmistakeable devilish growls and howls, this album takes Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement to new levels of intensity and sheer class. From the opening war cry of ‘Insurrection Of The Diabolical’, through the malicious torments of ‘Insidious Spiritual Incarceration’ to the classic death metal magnificence of the climactic title track, Constructing The Cataclysm is a towering monolith of pure death metal, the perfect representation of Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement’s sound and approach. Domineering drumming, powerful melodies and classic yet inventive riffing bring a battlefield of gods, demons and legends to vivid, visceral, screaming life!
It may have been a long time coming, but Constructing The Cataclysm sees Varela and Barnes return stronger than ever before. When Comatose Music unleash this beast of war on August 5th there will be no denying the overwhelming power and potency of Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement. Recorded at Audio Helm Studios with Mike Clevenger, Constructing The Cataclysm possesses an incendiary sound that combines clarity of delivery with a snarling, venomous power. The final touch of magic has been applied by Andreas Christanetoff of Armaada Art (Aborted, Kraanium, NecroticGoreBeast etc) with some stunning samurai cover art. Armoured once more in the scales of the serpent god of war, Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement have returned and the cataclysm is nigh!
Line-up:
Jordan Varela - Guitar, Bass, Drums
Jay Barnes - Vocals
Genre: Death Metal
For fans of: Morbid Angel | Deicide | Ripping Corpse | Dim Mak

PRESS RELEASE:
Sentient Ruin is honored to welcome into the family Greek black/death metal legion Anticreation for whom we’ve prepared the release of their immense debut album, “From the Dust of Embers", in collaboration with Nuclear Winter Records, also from Greece.
A song from the work has been unveiled by Decibel Magazine via an official music video premiere for the title track which you can find HERE, with the prized metal magazine stating that “If you’re in the mood for unrelenting brutality mixed with abysmal black metal, Anticreation are just the ticket” and that “The combination of slamming death riffs and black metal flavor and depth has a mesmerizing effect on the listener.“
On “From the Dust of Embers" Anticreation emerge from the abysses of hell with a thirty-four minute aural declaration of war toward the insignificance of all terrain things. Monstrous walls of low end dissonance churn and fume like sprawling hellfires, while dark ambient and ritualistic debris metastasizes around the telluric instrumental sections creating a grandiose and enveloping hellscape shrouded in darkness and death. No newcomers to their scene, the cryptic duo of Necro and Noctus who form the core of Anticreation have been sailing the black seas of Greece's most uncompromising underground for literal decades, with Necro in particular having spent the last twenty years forging hellbent steel in such miscreant greek black metal entities as Burial hordes, Enshadowed, and Merciless Crucifixion, among others. Anticreation is a vessel unto fusing Necro's and Noctus' long running expertise in black metal and the duo's interest and fascination in the bleakest and most otherworldly forms of dark death metal, namely that one conceived in various waves by bastions of the genre like Immolation, Portal, Pseudogod and Teitanblood, resulting in their debut offering "From the Dust of Embers", an imposing dark death metal best levitating with an immense aura of complete ruin and inevitability.
“From the Dust of Embers" will be released July 8 2022 on LP, CD, MC, and digital formats in collaboration with Nuclear Winter Records handling the European release.
