During its short lifespan, Xenomorph inflicted their listeners with scars that refused to heal, assaulting the senses with a combination of twisted, technical music and diabolical imagery. Xenomorph's amazing 1995 album, "Empyreal Regimes", was previously only released on CD and has been long out-of-print.
A limited edition with a bonus one-sided 12" including the band's 1993 "Subspecies" demo is also available directly from our mailorder only!
Also available now, released on PUTRID FILTH:
POISON MASK - Graveyard World 7"EP
Release date: Feb. 1st, 2012

Tons of releases in the works for 2012!!
More info will follow soon!
With The Enigma Unsettled, the Finnish occult death metal band SERPENT ASCENDING offers a supremely dark experiment in satanic and mesmerizing music conducted on a primitive metal matter by Jarno Nurmi of Slugathor, Desecresy, and Nerlich fame.The album collects both the Serpent Ascending and The Mournful Pilgrimage recordings from 2009 and 2010 on one record, together with a brand new song.The Enigma Unsettled comes as a luxurious CD slipcase, accompanied by a 20-page full color booklet containing all the lyrics and stunning paintings by new sensational American artist Wiley Trieff.
Coming from Helsinki, Finland, SERPENT ASCENDING is the dark projection of Jarno Nurmi, appreciated bass/guitar player and singer in bands like Slugathor, Desecresy, Nerlich, Night Must Fall, and Nowen.
Firmly rooted in the old school of death metal, but far from being another sterile revival of the late 80's/early 90's, Serpent Ascending started a peculiar creative process that allocates death metal into an inner - yet still nightmarish - dimension of the soul, where cavernous growls lay down on nervous and slanted guitar riffs, vertiginous bass grooves, sudden bursts of speed, and swampy slowdowns. Apparently simple and straight to the point, Serpent Ascending's music hides a remarkable work on subtle harmonies and flowing songwriting, with atmospheric nuances and intriguing details that crawl unseen into each song as well as in the listener's subconscious, bringing forth a hallucinating, twisted and occult vibe.
Serpent Ascending is the feverish, solipsistic delirium of an artist that renovates the true spirit and typical dark heaviness of Finnish death metal in his own, personal way.
---Some review extracts...
"Every lover of genuinely good death metal, the way it was supposed to be, having atmosphere, depth, violence, darkness and a supreme sense of melody, would be advised to give this beautiful beast a chance. Fuck the old school -- all Hail Serpent Ascending!"CHRONICLES OF CHAOS (8,5 out of 10)
"...Creepy, murky, primitive and eerie atmospheres of early Finnish Death Metal that used to set the whole underground world on fire some 20 frigging years ago.(...) The vibe and feeling of those past times are still strongly present in the production of this record, the man himself in charge obviously paying a quite amount of careful attention to not having a too sterile and overly clean sound on this release, just to maintain his primal vision how SERPENT ASCENDING should actually sound like in the first place."VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE
"Serpent Ascending's The Enigma Unsettled is a finely hidden gem within the 2011 metal scene, adding yet another chapter to the fabled Finnish death metal division. Essentially combining elements of Depravity's Silence of the Centuries and at other locations slowing down to the murky depths of Slugathor and Stench of Decay, The Enigma Unsettled is very much a conglomerate of the sounds of this particularly rotten death metal scene and a pleasant surprise for the weary and uncompromising heeder."SPUTNIK MUSIC (4 out of 5)
"I could go on listening to "Saturnal", "The Enigma Unsettled" and "Endless Initiations" repeatedly. They are some of the stronger old school numbers I've heard of this sort in recent years, and should be mentioned alongside bands like Sonne Adam or Father Befouled as an example of how to do this all correctly. (...) Serpent Ascending are likely to thrill the newcomers to the niche, or provide manny (un)happy returns for the veterans who seek sincerity amidst the grinding miasma."FROM THE DUST RETURNED (7,5 out of 10)

BURIALKULT (ex-ESBAT) was formed under a cold fullmoon union between Phlegathon (vocals), Funeral Aggressor (Bass) and Imperion (Guitar) in the wastelands of Canada in 2011 to spread the words of Luciferian Khaos and destruction.
Soon after, the line up was solidified by Dominus on drums. It was then that BURIALKULT was epitomized as an un-holy kult and released a three song demo titled "Perverting The Altar" and under the black banner of sorcery perform unholy black-metal perversion.
BURIALKULT continues their unending war with new battle-craft and occulting Satanic Metal art...
At present the line up consists of...
Phlegathon (Anti cosmic tomes of ecclesiastical destruction)
Imperion (Grand Marshal of the seminary Abyss)
Funeral Aggressor (Imperial augury of sodomy)
Dominus (Armoured Monstrosity).

"Abstract Satan" is a proper head-first initiation into the abyss of Necrosadist; a forty-six minute blistering deluge of Raw Necro Violence. Serpentine, dynamic song structures gnarling and twisting together titanic, gargantuan riffs, intense blasting machinegun violence, slit-throat vocals that are vomited - not sung, obscure and hypnotic atmospheres, chaotic, wailing guitar solos screaming from the netherworlds and hints of occult psychedelia - all pointing in the only direction possible: downwards towards Hell. Άγιος 'Ισχυρος Μπάφομετ, Άγιος Αθάνατος! Also features lyrical contributions courtesy of KHZ (Bestia Arcana, Malchira, Evangelivm) and MkM (Aosoth,Antaeus). You are nothing but flesh.

2. Abstract Satan [4:30]
3. Rising from the Earth [6:13] sample!

SCYTHIAN - To those who stand against us 12"GF-LP
Scythian's debut full-length "To Those Who Stand Against Us..." is a ferocious tour de force presenting Scythian's unique brand of Metal; malicious, down-tuned riffs that could have been recorded by Sodom in the mid-80's melt into truly magnificent choir-backed passages reminiscent of "Hammerheart"-era Bathory only to collapse into a frenzied blasting orgy of war, death and desolation; emerging once again from the chaos with some of the most virtuose guitar solos ever to be heard on a Metal recording. Enshrined in a face-melting production courtesy of Leon Macey (Mithras) that perfectly captures the sonic madness as it happens, "To Those Who Stand Against Us..." is one of the strongest debut albums in recent years and proves that Scythian are truly a force to be reckoned with. We are proud to finally be giving this album the vinyl treatment it so well deserves!
NECROVOROUS - Funeral for the Sane 12"LP
The malignant Greek Death-mavens NECROVOROUS unleashes a viral slab of foul Death Metal with the sickening debut “Funeral For The Sane”. Disgustingly brilliant and capturing the undeniable vibe of the early 90's Death Metal style with a strong stench of Doom overtones, “Funeral For The Sane” brings us back to when music that was this ugly and extreme was still considered illegal.
The release date is set to July 15th, 2011.
We have it available for pre-order in the shop, but keep in mind that orders including this title will not ship out until after July 15th!!

THORNS OF HATE came into existence in 2004, with an intention to play bestial and primitive Black/Death metal in the old vein. the originator of the band, Blackblood Debauchery of Blasphemy, asked several persons to join the horde but most of them never shared the same vision, nor the idea, of what bestial Black/Death should be.
After several failed attempts to find a suitable maniak to fulfill the line up duties, Blackblood Debauchery of Blasphemy decide that the only correct thing to do, was to do it all himself.
Somewhere in 2005, "Nuklear Infernal War" promo-single, was recorded but never unleash as an official release. Still a few metal maniacs got their hand on the promo and really liked it although the song was really bad with shitty drum machine.
THORNS OF HATE was then put on hold since it was hard to find suitable demons for the line-up. Blackblood Debauchery of Blasphemy was also busy with other commitments in bands such as ENVENOM and NEFARIOUS AZARAK.
Several years later, THORNS OF HATE returns stronger than ever, with a new line-up, now including Bestial Genocidal Wrath of Azrael and a self-released monster of a demotape, inspired by ungodly hordes such as Blasphemy, Morbosidad, Conqueror, Sarcofago, Vulcano, Abhorer, Rator and so on.
The band is currently preparing the new material of the vinyl debut!! Expect nothing but raw, bestial, hateful, primitive Black/Death, an iron fist in the face of gods! Only War is real! Hate is the law!!
9 track debut album. Powerful, merciless, brutal and evil Death Metal, the way it was meant to be.After 10 years of existence they are back with one of the most destructive albums ever recorded in Chile.

Imagine a mixture between the fast/evil passages of early Incantation, early Krisiun, early Morbid Angel, early Totten Korps,early Atomic Aggressor and the sharpen guitars of the old almighty Slayer!The front cover follows the real Southamerican Metal tradition with an unholy blasphemous painting without any fucking virtual FX!
