New Wave of Pagan Metal!
After their 2017 debut "Von Einst", the busy Pagan/Black/Death Metallers from Helgrindur have caused a stir in the local scene in recent years, especially through their live presence (e.g. Aaargh Festival, Mahlstrom Open Air, Ragnarök Festival) and have gained a growing fan base. Anno 2023, with the self-titled "Helgrindur", the long-awaited successor is now available, on which the band consistently continues their chosen path.
The content of these 10 songs revolves around fairy tales, myths, legends and also their own stories, which musically move in a pagan death and black metal garb. The haunting lyrics are embedded in a gripping atmosphere by a great feeling for melodies, which give the band concept the necessary authenticity.
The new album was recorded at 4CN Studio (Obscurity, Kreator a.o.). The cover artwork symbolically shows the gatekeeper, who guides damned souls through the realm of Hel and keeps the creature of darkness in check, which can also be found in the quintet's stage design.

COMMANDER - Angstridden - CD
€12.99*
Back with Impact!
After their 2018 album "Fatalis", the South German death metal veterans, who have been around since 1999, are releasing a new heavyweight in record stores in 2024! The now 4th longplayer "Angstridden" once again impresses with a rough and brute death metal framework, whereby the band increasingly emphasizes its roots in the more extreme styles.
Between furious blastbeat songs there are also quite groove-oriented elements before the new work culminates in the final track and undoubted highlight of the album "No Compulsion To Live", which leads into a true growl choir of 10 different growlers/screamers.
Recorded and produced in the Sick Of Sound Studio under the direction of Michael Kraxenberger, the Bavarians really let it rip on "Angstridden" and undoubtedly deliver the highlight of their musical work to date with these ten tracks!

IRA TENAX - Dark Awakening CD
€12.99*
Melodic Death Metal to the point!
The melodic death band IRA TENAX have been making their mark on the German metal scene since 1999. In 2024, the quartet are not only celebrating their 25th anniversary, but are also releasing a new album 10 years after their last longplayer "Portrait Of The Fallen" from 2014! "Dark Awakening", the title of the new output, impresses with classic trademarks on its 11 tracks, both from the band itself and from melodic death metal as it has been present since the mid/end of the nineties.
Melodic riffs meet brute drumming and versatile vocals to create an overall sound that sets the band pleasantly apart from the sheer endless abundance of bands in this genre, without having to reinvent the wheel or flirt with daring genre mixes. „Dark Awakening" was mixed and mastered by Kai Stahlenberg at Kohlekeller - Studio B (e.g. Disbelief, Agathodaimon) and the album artwork was created by Ken Coleman.
"Dark Awakening" is a (melodic) death metal album as it should be. Brutal, technically and musically sophisticated, varied and yet precise to the point.

GRAND MASSIVE - Houses Of The Unholy - CD
€12.99*
Massive Metal!
The germans from Grand Massive have been on the road since 2009 and have been able to gain a steadily growing following with 4 albums and several singles and EPs, as well as retaining it with massive live performances. With "Houses Of The Unholy", the bavarians are now releasing 5 songs that, with a playing time of just under 28 minutes, are not far removed from the longplayers of many other colleagues, but are not a "normal" release for the band itself.
Rather, it is intended to bridge the waiting time for the next, "really long" album. In order to emphasize the special nature of the release, the aim was to bring some old companions on board right from the start. For example, original drummer Holger Stich was on drums for the recordings and Randy M Salo, an old companion of the band, was on bass. Above all, none other than the legendary Bay Area guitarist Doug Pearcy (Blind Illusion, ex-Heathen, ex-Anvil Bitch) recorded almost all the solos!
The album was mastered by Andy Claasen at Stage One Studio and with "Jump In The Fire" they took a Metallica classic and interpreted it in their very own, doomy, massive metal guise! In the end, "Houses Of The Unholy" is much more than just a "gap filler", but rather a massive demonstration of musical elemental force.

VHÄLDEMAR - Sanctuary Of Death - CD
€12.99*
Ready for Battle!
With "Sanctuary Of Death", Spain's biggest (English-speaking) heavy metal band is about to release their seventh longplayer. 11 brand new tracks that should make the heart of every melodic heavy and power metal fan beat faster! The quintet has been flying the traditional metal flag since the end of the 90s and is inspiring a growing following outside Spain with catchy melodies and true anthems.
Like its predecessors, the album was recorded and produced at Chromaticity Studios by guitarist and producer Pedro J. Monge and the artwork is also based on tradition, with Darkgrove, who has also created artwork for Manowar, Testament, Battle Beast and others, once again on board.
"Sanctuary Of Death" is undoubtedly one of the heavy/power metal highlights of the year!

FINAL CRY - Zombique - CD
€11.99*
New edition of the completely sold-out 2018 album by Lower Saxony melodic death/thrashers Final Cry. With "Zombique", the band made an impressive comeback after 11 years of radio silence and released the rawest and heaviest album in their history to date. Guitarist Eiko, who took over the vocals in the meantime, characterizes this album with deep growls (rather unusual for Final Cry up to this point) and contributes a lot to the fact that the content concept, which revolves around voodoo cults and zombie stories among the Caribbean slaves with partly historically documented protagonists and their influence up to the Haitian revolution, also unfolds musically in full brutality.
Recorded and produced under the direction of Jost Schlüter at Pure Sonic Studios in Langelsheim, "Zombique" also features all of the band's trademarks that have grown over the years: merciless riffing, high tempos, great melodies and guitarist Eiko Truckenbrodt's almost unmistakable solos.
"Zombique" is a prime example of how a band should come back after a long break: With a punch right in the face! This re-released version of the comeback album features a slightly modified cover artwork.

Thrash Metal rule em all!
The northern German thrashers from Extinct have been making their mark on the German metal scene since 2003. From the very beginning, the quartet has indulged in a mixture of old school thrash and modern death/thrash, with musical roots in both German and American thrash metal of the 80s.
After their Full Lengt debut in 2013 and the "Downward Spiral" EP from 2021, it's finally time to present their second longplayer. With "Incitement Of Violence", they pick up exactly where they left off with their predecessors and put 12 grenades in the player that are guaranteed to make your neck ache. From pounding mid-tempo parts to slayeresque thrashing passages, the listener will find everything the thrashers heart desires.
When talking about the burgeoning New Wave Of German Thrash Metal, Extinct is a name you can't miss in 2024, also due to their lively live presence.

€12.99*
German Thrash Metal meets Bay Area!
With their third album "Maze of the Mind", the four thrashers from Battlecreek combine the unmistakable sound of German thrash metal with their Bay Area roots and transport it powerfully into the present. Since their formation in 2004, the four Bavarians have also tirelessly made a name for themselves in the national metal scene through countless live activities, which is why the quartet was also included in the documentary "Total Thrash" (2022) as a representative of the New Wave Of German Thrash Metal.
The album was recorded and produced at 48Nord Studios by Chris Schmid, the song "Granvilles Hammer" also features a guest appearance by Philly Byrne from the Irish band Gamma Bomb, while the artwork was created by scene icon Andreas Marschall.
"Maze Of The Mind" impressively demonstrates the sheer indomitable joy with which the guys go about their work and gives an idea that the quartet is also capable of bringing this energy to the stage.

FATAL FIRE - Arson - CD
€12.99*
Female fronted Power Metal!
With Fatal Fire, one of Germany's most promising power metal newcomers is preparing to leave a clear mark on the metal landscape with an extremely successful debut. The band was founded in 2020 and used the time of the pandemic for mature songwriting before making a name for themselves at over 20 concerts and festival shows nationwide in 22/23.
This album is bursting with enthusiasm. The 8 power metal songs, with some thrash and a lot of speed metal leanings, are instrumentally dominated by two-voiced leads and distinctive solos. Svenja's unique voice gives the whole thing an extra dose of dynamism, as she is able to cover both melodic and rocky tones.
„Arson" was recorded and produced in the "Bazement Studio" in Strinz-Trinitatis by Markus Teske, who has also forged albums by Vandenplas, Kambrium, The New Roses, Mob Rules and others.

STORMHUNTER - Best Before: Death - CD
€12.99*
German Heavy Metal!
Stormhunter have been making their mark on the German metal scene since 1998 and, after two EPs (Ready For Boarding, 2020, Strangle With Care, 2022), are now releasing their long-awaited fourth longplayer, "Best Before: Death", in 2024. The band continues their tradition of classic "German Heavy Metal", still dispensing with keyboards in their arrangements and instead increasing the proportion of choirs, which give the songs even more of an anthemic character.
The new album was recorded and produced at Iguana Studios under the direction of Christoph Brandes, while Timon Kokott has provided the whole thing with artwork that illustrates the loose concept of the content, which revolves around death. "Best Before: Death" is described by the band as their "most personal album" to date, as it incorporates various experiences from the band's environment and looks at death from different angles, from loss to redemption.
In the 11 songs, the band refrains from musical experiments, but still offers one or two surprising approaches while rocking their way through exactly 48 minutes with sophisticated guitar work and a variety of melodies.

The 10 songs are in the tradition of hardcore punk-influenced thrash metal, with the genretypically themes like social issues and the decline of society.

DEIMOS' DAWN - Anthem Of The Lost - VINYL LP

Marc Grewe goes THRASH METAL!
When Germany's flagship-growler Marc Grewe (ex-Morgoth, Insidious Disease) gets ready to step behind a microphone, you can be sure to be bombarded with pure Death Metal ... until now! Because with Deimos' Dawn the scene veteran stands for the first time in front of a THRASH METAL band of pure and classical coinage. Bands like Kreator, Slayer, Sodom and Sepultura have obviously left deep marks on the band's founders Andy Doé (guitar), Matthias Lange (bass) and Mathias Schmidt (drums), so that the three, who have known each other since early childhood, didn't have to spend a long time looking for ideas when they launched Deimos Dawn in 2017 and soon recruited the perfect frontman in Marc.
12 songs, on which Grewe with the full vocal range of his skills and the most diverse vocal performance of his career puts the black-golden crown of a poison and bile-spewing king of the underworld, are waiting to blow a fresh wind of devastation through your brain. The band's great joy in playing makes it unmistakably clear that Deimos' Dawn are something special. So special, in fact, that former Sodom guitarist and jack-of-all-trades Andy Brings had to write (nearly) all lyrics and produce Grewe's vocals out of sheer enthusiasm for the concept and songs. Yes, had to!
With "Anthem Of The Lost" Deimos' Dawn undoubtedly write a new, strong chapter in the big book of Thrash Metal!

Mit Mandragora Thuringia und ihrem zweiten Longplayer „Rex Silvarum“ schickt sich eine der vielversprechendsten deutschen Folk Metal Bands an, die Herzen von Fans mittelalterlicher Klänge im harten Metal Gewandt im Sturm zu erobern. Bereits der Vorgänger „Der Vagabund“ sorgte für einiges Aufsehen und bescherte der Band umfangreiche Präsenz auf Bühnen und Festivals.
„Rex Silvarum“ bietet alles, was das Folk Metal Herz begehrt: Harte Gitarrenklänge gepaart mit volkstümlichen Instrumenten erzeugen eine mitreißende Stimmung zwischen brachialen, metallischen Parts und tanzbaren, treibenden Dudelsack- und Akkordeonmelodien. Abgerundet wird das Ganze mit epischen Keyboards, Chören oder Streichern, welche die Emotionen der Lieder tragen und Gänsehaut verbreiten. Das Album enthält 13 abwechslungsreiche Songs, die Geschichten aus alten Tagen erzählen, von Schlachten berichten oder zum Trinken einladen.

CASSIUS KING - Dread The Dawn - CD
€12.99*
All Hail to the King!
Dan Lorenzo (ex-Hades, Non Fiction, Patriarchs In Black) ist eine fleischgewordene Riff Maschine, oder wie die Fachpresse ihm oft bescheinigte: Seine Meisterschaft in der Kunst echte, lebensnahe Riffs zu schreiben ist unübertroffen! Mit „Dread To Dawn“ treten Cassius King auf ihrem Zweitlingswerk erneut den Beweis dieser Aussage an.
Auf 11 Songs wälzt sich das Quartett durch schleppende, ergreifende Melodien, umschlungen von den markanten Vocals von Jason McMaster (Watchtower, Dangerous Toys), welche dem Gesamtsound eine authentische Tiefe verleihen und getrieben von den erbarmungslosen Grooves eines Ron Lipnicki (ex-Overkill, Whiplash). Cassius King ist ein vertontes Gefühl, welchem man mit den Oberbegriffen Doom und Stoner eigentlich nicht gerecht werden kann. Mit dem Release von „Dread To Dawn“ beweisen die Herren zudem, dass es sich bei Cassius King um deutlich mehr handelt, als ein einmalig konstruiertes All-Star Projekt. Zählt man Dan Lorenzos gleichnamiges Solo Album aus dem Jahr 2004 mit, ist der Nachfolger des letztjährigen „Field Trip“ bereits der dritte Longplayer in nahezu identischer Besetzung. Wer sich von den vorliegenden Songs in die Tiefe reißen lässt, wird unwillkürlich hoffen, dass es nicht das letzte seiner Art ist.

With "Wrath Of The Witch", the Marburg death metal forge Corrosive presents its seventh and at the same time most unusual album. Instead of simply peeling first-class death metal riffs from their ribs year after year, the quintet surprises anno 2023 with a concept album, whose foundation stone was already laid on their 2019 album "Nourished by Blood" with the track "Notzucht der Hexe".
The result is a story that is driven forward by various characters before culminating in a bloody showdown. In order to realise the overall concept effectively, the band decided to cast the different roles with different singers, like in a play. In the main roles, besides singer Andy, Gerre (Tankard), Sabina Classen (Holy Moses), Dirk Weiss (Warpath), Eva Schmidt (Nihil), Andreas Jäger (Hyems) and Kai Wilhelm (Final Cry), among others, take the microphone. The guests impressively succeed in putting their own stamp on the still abundant and typical Corrosive trademarks, giving the album a complexity, life and individuality and taking the listener on a journey into a dark time.
Musically, the band has taken the dark concept into account and takes a more melodic and even black metal approach than on the previous albums, while still creating an album that is unmistakably a Corrosive one!Roles, Vocalist & Guests

When seasoned musicians has cabin fever during the lockdown, they come up with the strangest things and sometimes even grandiose ideas. In the case of Sculforge, both is the case, because Polly McSculwood (vox, guit.) and Fabz McBlackscul (guitars) came up with the idea of forming the band in 2020 and starting a new musical adventure. Everything that happened then was out of love for music and pure boredom - and the two were really very bored.
Since Nerd King Polly loves everything that smells like sci-fi and fantasy RPGs, PC games and literature, it was very quickly clear that he wanted to create an epic sci-fi story that was -maybe- a little bit influenced by Warhammer 40k. A world in which there is no progress except on the battlefield seemed to him to be the perfect setting for high speed power metal songs!
So on this "Intergalactic Battle Tunes (Stories from Behind The Dark Side Of The Moon To The Milky Way And Beyond) titled debut, there are not only Metal Hymns between Power and Thrash, but also a complete story with radio play-like interludes which complete the concept. The result is a fresh, virtuoso and wacky masterpiece!

Bosparans Fall have been on the metal scene for several years under different names and in other constellations, but only reformed as an RPG metal project in 2022. Conceptually, the band moves in Aventuria, a fantasy world from the German-language pen & paper role-playing game "Das Schwarze Auge".
Musically, the quintet, which will also elaborately implement the role-playing game theme in their live shows, has dedicated itself to melodic death metal, although various other and adjacent extreme metal genres also find their influences. With their present Full Lenght debut, Bosparans Fall write the first part of a story designed as a trilogy around the warrior Alrik Immerda, 1019 years after the battle on Bosparans battlements, drawn into the preparations of the ancient rituals that have been going on for almost two decades ...
"Götterspiel: Dunkle Zeiten" comes over you like a storm and draws you in with its ingenious narrative strands and arrangements. By the way, parts of the story, such as the character of the protagonist, were designed in close consultation with the DSA community on various internet boards. The musical saga was mixed and mastered by Michael Kraxenberger at Sick Of Sound, and the band itself was responsible for the graphic realisation of the concept.

With "Icon", the band now presents their sixth longplayer, which comes up with the typical band trademarks and aims exactly where it hurts: on the face!

Earthy hard rock. Simple and good. Simply good.
If there is one positive thing to take away from the past 2 years of Corona Pandemie, it is that countless musicians and bands have used the involuntary time off to put together new albums or even new projects. This is also the case with Serpents In Paradise. After the split of Spitefuel, guitarist Tobias Eurich didn't just want to hang up his guitar, but to dedicate himself more to something that had been neglected in the years before: solid hard rock. More blues, more dirt and more guitar heroes (Slash, Page, Young) from his youth.
In Matthias Lüönd and Jason-Steve Mageney, the right comrades-in-arms were quickly found for an ambitious project, which also has the goal of sooner or later hitting the stages. Since it was not possible to find a suitable singer in the immediate vicinity, the idea of implementing the whole thing with the help of various guest singers matured. In the end, Gianni Pontillo (Victory), Stu Block (ex-Iced Earth), Herbie Langhans (Firewind, Avantasia), Mark Fox (Shakra) and Alex Kühner (High Tide), a whole host of singing heroes, got enthusiastic about the project, the idea and, last but not least, the songs and contributed their part to this album.
The result is a gripping, incredibly mature hard rock album. Down-to-earth, solid and yet with that certain something that makes Serpents In Paradise stand out from the crowd.

Per Aspera – ad Astra!
With "Cosmic Dreams", the Swabians around masterminds Carsten Sauter and Stefan Zörner present their third, most mature and at the same time most intense work. On the new album, the band surprises with a departure from the rather thrash-influenced predecessors to high-class arranged and produced tracks, which nevertheless unite all the trademarks that make up the band: melody, heaviness and variety between the otherwise so rigid metal pigeonholes.
A striking feature is the use of keyboards for the first time, which give Zörner's lyrics, which deal with the diaspora into outer space, the coldness of the stars and the increasing coldness of humans, gloomy dystophies and failed dreams, a perfect futuristic framework. The music is sometimes intricate and progressive ("Cosmic Dreams", "Blitzwerfer Blues", "Seemingly"), sometimes grippingly hard ("Only Scars Remain", "Depths of Nothingness") but also epic and expansive ("The Narrow Sleep", "Astronaut", "My Reternity"). Is this heavy metal, thrash, doom, prog, death or nu metal? Who cares! The result is a homogeneous sounding statement in metal!
With the producer of choice, Andy Horn (Fight feat. Rob Halford, Rob Rock, Cage, Edenbridge a.o.) and fresh blood on drums and bass, they worked intensively for months on an album that can undoubtedly play in the top league and is a groundbreaking album by the ambitious southern Germans.

All roads lead to Black Sabbath!
When New Jersey scene veteran Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction) was looking for musicians for his new project, Overkill's Bobby Blitz gave him the idea of knocking on John Kelly's (Danzig, Type O Negative) door, because - according to Blitz - "he would fit your riffs perfectly". Blitz was right and Lorenzo and Kelly, who had never worked together before, formed PATRIARCHS IN BLACK.
The duo makes no secret of where the musical heart of this collaboration beats - to put it in Kelly's words: "All roads lead to Black Sabbath!" So on these nine groovy songs there are many dragging riffs, with which homage is paid to the forefathers of doom, on the one hand - and on the other hand such a snotty-rock charm that would also make the album a perfect soundtrack for a remake of "Easy Rider".
For "Reach For The Scars", the duo recruited a whole host of guest musicians who each put their own stamp on the songs. On this album, Karl Agell (COC), Dewey Bragg (Kill Devil Hill), Rob Traynor (Black Water Rising), John Kosco (Dropbox), Eric J. Morgan (A Pale Horse Named Death) and Dave Neabore (Dog Eat Dog), among others, give each song a unique authenticity that makes the overall result an entertaining and varied pleasure.

Vamacara - Cosmic Fires: The Enlightenment Reversed Bundle CD + TS
€23.99*
Bundle with CD and T-Shirt (fits a bit smaller).
70s rock with blast beats!
The idea behind Vāmācāra (Sanskrit for: "left hand path“) was from the beginning to unite oriental and western music, aesthetics and philosophy. After the band was formed in 2015, N. (drums, percussion) and A. (vocals, guitar, bass) impressively demonstrated this approach in 2017 with their EP "Mantras for the Manifold".
The present debut album "Cosmic Fires: The Enlightenment Reversed" resembles a union of black, doom and death metal mixed with psychedelic and stoner rock. It should come as no surprise that the musical versatility is also reflected with lyrics in different languages (English, Greek, Polish and Turkish). Those who need stylistic pigeonholes can also describe the whole thing as "70s rock with blast beats". In any case, Vāmācāra offer an extraordinary listening experience!
Recorded by Ali Orhan at Tonstudio SH in Kiel and Jan Bzinkowski at Hear Studio in Warsaw, the whole thing was finally mixed and mastered by Jörg Uken at Soundlodge Recordings, who gives the production a fitting and impressive sound. Let yourself be captivated by the raw black and death metal sound with doom and psychedelic elements as well as a 70's rock foundation that always shines through.

A step back in history and two steps forwards...
What lasts a long time becomes one! The history of the melodic death metal flagships Graveworm and Suidakra has always been closely connected. They started out on the same label, toured together and developed deep friendships that have lasted until today.
It happened that during the songwriting for the current Suidakra longplayer "Wolfbite" several songs came up that didn't really fit to Suidakra, but with their raw sound, groove and melodies they brought back memories of the old times at the beginning of the nineties and demanded to be released. So Akki and Zachi (the former Suidakra bassist) knocked on the door of some old companions to complete the time travel experiment and were joined by Graveworm singer Stefano Fiori. They were completed by current Suidakra members Sebastian and Ken to unleash this debut album on mankind. So it's no surprise that "Necrohedron" sounds exactly like this: raw, inspired by the spirit of their early years together, paired with the skills and finesse of today!
Cover artist Kris Verwimp (Suidakra, Marduk, Immortal, Arch Enemy, among others) was also immediately on fire and is responsible for the cover artwork as well as the lyrics. Fot this he used a concept story that had been lying dormant in his drawer for a long time and fitted Dragonbreed like a glove. The band has the claim not only to be a one-off "project", but also to aspire to the stages of this world with their well thought-out concept.

Servant - Blessed By The Light Of A Thousand Stars CD + Shirt Bundle

Shirt 100% cotton

A revelation between rawness and atmosphere !
With "Blessed By The Light Of A Thousand Stars", the German black metallers Servant present an impressive and incredibly mature debut album, which stylistically undoubtedly stands on the shoulders of the great Scandinavian black metal bands. On closer inspection, this is hardly surprising, as the band is basically based on the remains, btw with main songwriter Farago a protagonist of Ancient Wargod, who were already active in the 90s. For whose reunion, never came to pass, the first rough song ideas were intended.
In the course of the last 5 years, these ideas matured, also thanks to new comrades-in-arms, into the present album, which has a sound outfit in which the compositions unfold their full effect. The band uses the full range of stylistic means available in the genre and does also not renounce bombastic passages with choirs, keyboards and orchestral support, as well as parts that are deliberately kept raw and "monotonous".
Contentwise the 9 tracks are not only inspired by modern Satanism, but also by the human emotional world and the longings associated with it. The longing for death, the desire for transience, elevation of the self, as well as the search for the meaning of life with the help of various religious and occult teachings are just a few examples to describe the approach of the lyrical part.
The opulent work was recorded and produced by mastermind Farago himself, while the sound was given the finishing touches by Guano Apes drummer Dennis Poschatta during mastering at the Katzbach Studio in Göttingen.

Back for Blood!
Ten years after their first demo, the Greeks of Exarsis are preparing to release their fifth full-length album, once again rising the flag of old school thrash metal.
After a change in the line-up on the drums and the return of founding member and guitarist Chris Tsitsis (Suicide Angels a.o.), "Sentenced To Life" is probably the most melodic album of their discography to date, which nevertheless contains the typical Exarsis feeling, also because they keep pushing the accelerator pedal pretty hard.
As a surprise there are guest appearances of Pyros Lafias (Chronosphere) and Lefteris Xatzhandreou (Bio-Cancer) in the song "...Against My Fears", which is about overcoming depression and the fight against the inner demons.
Like the two previous releases, the album was produced by Mike Karpathiou in D-Studio. The artwork is by Dan Goldsworthy (Accept, Xentrix, Gloryhammer).

Old School …
Surprisingly and less then 12 months after their "Mogontiacum (Nachdem die Nacht herabgesunken ...) album, Nocte Obducta introduce their now 12th longplayer. And that is not enough, because what has become apparent in parts on "Mogontiacum", finds its consequent continuation on their new work "Totholz Ein Raunen aus der Klangwald". Nocte Obducta close the circle to their musical roots! "Totholz" is a rough piece of metal, which have of course the band-typically harmonies and thus does not lose any of the uniqueness that characterizes their work.
"Totholz" is oppressive, cold, raw, poignant and with the almost 15 minute "Wiedergänger Blues" also a bit psychedelic. Above all, this album is a confession to the "old school". Less experimental than some of his predecessors, but nevertheless anything but ordinary and at the end always unique. Nocte Obducta succeeds in perfecting her very own style and, at the same time, bring a bridge back to its beginnings without neglecting the developments of her more than 20-year history. This album is likely to meet the nerve of fans of all her creative periods.

Call To War Re-Release CD

The 2006 founded Pessimist did not take long to make up in the German scene a good name. After three highly acclaimed demos saw 2010 debut album "Call To War" the light of day. Unfortunately, the then-label 2013 closed its doors during the same year appeared the successor "Death From Above" at MDD. With their uncompromising old school heavy Thrash metal Pessimist quickly earned a growing audience, which meant that once the last stock on often demanded debut album went low.
Call To War, however, is not an album that deserves to be forgotten, especially since not even six years have passed since the release. The nine songs are real crusher. Therefore, the decision matured to reissue the album. As a bonus, the band won the 2007 debut demo "Nuclear Holocaust" excavated, which is nowhere to get since 2008. The 5 songs got specially for this purpose a remastering, what certainly for fans of the Thrasher is a worthwhile combination.
