______________________________
MARE COGNITUM's debut album, “The Sea Which Has Become Known”, was originally released via Bandcamp in 2011 as a digital album, and one year later as a tape on Milam Records, but it needed a split release with label mates SPECTRAL LORE (“Sol”, 2013) and three more full-length albums (“An Extraconscious Lucidity” in 2012, 2014's revelatory “Phobos Monolith” and 2016's crowning achievement of “Luminiferous Aether”) to finally impose Jacob Buczarski's project on the metal audience as a true originator and leading exponent of the so called atmospheric/cosmic black metal genre, together with bands like Darkspace and Midnight Odyssey.
Before embarking on new space adventures, MARE COGNITUM proudly offer their fans their first opus on CD and LP format and in its unadulterated form, to preserve the spirit of the original recordings. “The Sea Which Has Become Known” is as relevant today as it was more than 6 years ago; the first significant step in MARE COGNITUM's voyage towards the stars.

_______________________________
A duo from Belgium and France fronted by Déhà (Clouds, Maladie and Imber Luminis, among the others) and Larvalis (session for Todesstoss), YHDARL are known for crushing all music boundaries between suicidal, depressive, doom, noise and drone black metal. Larvalis, insane female black metal singer, holds the keyboards and vocal duties; Déhà plays all the instruments, sings and takes care of the professional recordings, mixing and mastering.
Five years (and five losses) in the making and comprised of 3 long songs topping more than 40 minutes, "Loss" is not another underground release by YHDARL, but a true milestone in their already impressive discography, an extremely violent and aggressive piece of suicidal black metal art showing the duo's talent and benefitting from the contributions of numerous guests: Old (Drohtnung) on ritual noises, choirs and voices; Daniel Neagoe (Eye Of Solitude, Clouds), Todor Krasimirov and Yavor Dimov (Dimholt) on screaming vocals. The fascinating album cover has been drawn by the illustrious Maxime Taccardi.

HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present DRUID LORD's highly anticipated second album, "Grotesque Offerings," on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
The band's first record for their new label home, "Grotesque Offerings" is both a consolidation and intensification of DRUID LORD's ever-considerable strengths. Eerie and utterly crushing doom/DEATH metal, DRUID LORD soak their molten creations in obscure, horror-inspired lyrics from beyond the grave. Across the 50 mysterious minutes comprising "Grotesque Offerings", they evoke the haunts of old from where shadows conjure spells of gloom. DRUID LORD are grounded in the darkest and most underground death metal, of course, but take considerable influence from old horror films, particularly the atmosphere cloaking the classic movies of Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava, Dario Argento, and John Carpenter. It's a deceptively simple formula, but one that's done with masterful subtlety and a graven sense of purpose: simply, they LIVE IT, breathing deeply the true, timeless essence of supernatural horror. And that stark simplicity - the leads that linger like fog, the gutted low-end, the stunning sense of dread-inducing melody - is absolutely bewitching within these "Grotesque Offerings".
DRUID LORD was formed in the scorching wastelands of Orlando, Florida in 2010 by Pete Slate (Acheron, Equinox) and Tony Blakk (Acheron, Equinox, Diabolic) and original drummer Stephen Spillers (Equinox). Orlando has always been known to be the birthplace of Mantas/Death, and DRUID LORD take pride in that fact. From the beginning, the band's intent is to create crushing songs that take inspiration from early death metal (Possessed, Necrovore, Autopsy) and the heavy riffing of '70s and '80s doom bands like Cirith Ungol, Winter, Candlemass, and Black Sabbath. "I had played for years with my own black/death band Equinox playing fast-type music, but I felt it was time for a change and get back to my roots," states Slate. "Being that we're huge old-school horror maniacs, we also wanted to combine that feeling of dread with heavy music."
DRUID LORD released their debut album, Hymns for the Wicked, in 2010. Second guitarist Ben Ross joined the band right after its release; his sick riffing added to the DRUID LORD style. Since then, the band has put out countless split CDs and 7" EPs, which have gained them worldwide attention. The band went through some various changes over the course of 2015, but with current drummer Elden Santos, DRUID LORD have found the perfect fit to complement their brand of crushing music.
Now armed with the support of HELLS HEADBANGERS, DRUID LORD are set to spread their supernatural sickness far and wide. Truly, "Grotesque Offerings" is the record that's been gestating within the DRUID LORD consciousness since the beginning; now, it has awoken and spreads its leathery wings of doom 'n' gloom. Haunted castles, witchcraft, the occult, the living dead, dark folklore, and cryptic stories: no ancient stone is left unturned here. With suitably macabre cover art courtesy of SLAUGHTBBATH's Daniel Corcuera, "Grotesque Offerings" is a mini-classic in the making - hark the arrival of the new doom/death lords!

Lechery
We Are All Born Evil
Bleeding Music Records
2 February 2018
LECHERY was formed in 2006 by Martin Bengtsson (former Arch Enemy bass player). After a couple of years of playing in small clubs and festivals, Lechery recorded their debut album “Violator” in 2008. It was a great success in the classic Heavy metal countries and in Sweden” Violator” was voted top 4 metal album of 2008. In late 2010, Lechery once again entered the studio to record a new album, and once again the recordings took place in “The Sweet Spot”, with Rickard Bengtsson as producer, who also has worked with bands such as Arch Enemy, Spiritual Beggars, Armageddon etc.
Back in 2011, Lechery released their second album” In Fire”, an album that by far topped the bands expectations. “In Fire” was much more varied than “Violator” and still it’s classic heavy metal at its best. Since then, Lechery has appeared in a couple of tours in mostly Scandinavia and Eastern Europe along with a lot of festivals and gigs around Europe.
Now the third chapter of the album history of Lechery is about to be written. The new album “We Are All Born Evil” will be released in 2018 and ready to hit metal hearts all over the world.One can easily recognize the sound of Lechery because of the existence of pounding riffs, melodic twin-guitar battling and big choruses, but despite that the new album stands on its own with a greater width of the material without leaving the trail of classic heavy metal. “We Are All Born Evil” will satisfy the already convinced and gain a lot of new fans across the globe.

KINGS WILL FALL • „Toxic War"
Official New Music Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9leaXGpHucs&feature=youtu.be
Kings will fall. Under this generalizing motto, one of the most playful, lively and explosive new THRASH METAL commands joins the scene of the genre: KINGS WILL FALL.
When drummer Lukas Gross and bassist Daniel Vanzo came together in 2013 to form a band, guitarist René Thaler joined them as well. Finally, the hungry pack was completed by shouter Fabian Jung. And this optimally functioning line-up is still valid today.
Musically, the four South Tyrolean bullies set on a raging-brutal, staccato-like brand until today. Brutal influences of death-lead get nailed in with punky-snotty wise.
As a result of fierce rehearsal thunderstorms, the boys released their first self-recorded and self-produced demo EP in 2015 with the prophetic title „Death Comes Early“.
In addition, KINGS WILL FALL attacked not only various stages in their environment. But the raging mob let it crash officially beyond the country's borders. Reward for all sweaty efforts was the loud entry into the semifinals of the Austrian band competition ‚Metalchamp‘.
The summer of 2016 saw not only a few new gigs but also the songwriting process for the debut album "Thrash Force.One", which was recorded at Sarntaler Bucket Hill Studio at the end of the year.
The domestic release show in February 2017 turned into a real Thrash festival, as well as triumphantly followed by the appearance at the most popular South Tyrolean hard music event, the Rock im Ring Festival.
The official release date for "Thrash Force.One" was February 11th, 2017. KINGS WILL FALL want to stay on the ball live in the future as well.
On August 24, the band released their very first official music video for the song ‚Toxic War‘, which is also featured on the current longplayer.
The whole thing was filmed and edited by Daniel Socin from Foto Video Socin. The whole group is totally behind song and video, whose performance passages were recorded in a sooty smithy.
With all the introduced, historical WW2 film-fragments, the band would like to aptly clarify the thematic significance of the lyrical overall concept of KINGS WILL FALL.
After all, since devastating and terrible wars are constantly being waged in this world despite better knowledge, this human-made evil must finally be named. May all the tyrants finally fall, may all the wars finally end! (Markus Eck)

Ondt Blood
Natur
9 March 2018
Natur is a scream from the far north. Made 100 years after the first indigenous political organizing in Norway, this is a Sami call to arms against the on-going colonization and oppression. The album is the Norwegian hardcore unit's second and offers a blend of hardcore, grim metal and catchy punk, resulting in an album that could be called the polar bear mates of Pet Sounds.
The album was recorded in Oslo, and produced by Yngve Andersen (Blood Command, Hold Fast). Technical wizardry was provided by Ruben Willem (Haust) and Simon Jackman, who also mixed the record. Guest performances are given by Lauritz Lyster Skeidsvold (yacht-saxophone) and the Sami pop star Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen of the electropop group ISÁK, who does a traditional joik (ancient Sami singing tradition) duet with Ondt Blod singer Aslak on the record’s last track “Giron”. The album’s artwork is a woodprint by Peter-John De Villiers, who also did the artwork for the singles.
Despite having only released one album, Ondt Blod have a lot to show for. Not only have they been deemed the “pride of the North” in Norwegian media; their debut-album Finnmark was nominated as the “newcomer of the year” for the Norwegian equivalent to the Grammys in 2016, and they have been listed on Norwegian national radio with five songs. The band has toured Norway alongside Kvelertak, and played the Roskilde Festival in 2016.
With Natur, Ondt Blod have made an album that is both a razor sharp political confrontation and a hedonistic celebration. Prepare to be colonized!
