MANDRAGORA TITANIA - In Fabulis - CD

Epic Metal Folk ! Nach ihrem überragenden „Rex Silvarum“ Album im Jahr 2022 haben die deutschen Folk Metaller Mandragora Thuringia, nachdem im Frühjahr 2025 eine kostemtische Umbenennung in MANDRAGORA TITANIA erfolgte, mit „In Fabulis“ endlich ein neues Album im Gepäck. Wie schon beim Vorgänger war man hierfür bei Dom R. Crey (Equilibrium/Nothgard) im Studio um 13 neue Tracks aufzunehmen. Stilistisch erwartet den Hörer erneut eine mitreißende Mischung aus brachialem Metal und überzeugenden Folk Einflüssen, wobei man den Metal und Epic Fokus im Vergleich zum Vorgänger noch etwas mehr hervorgehoben hat! Mit „In Fabulis“ schicken sich Mandragora Titania an, die Lücke zu Größen des Genres merklich schmelzen zu lassen, beziehungsweise mit ihrem individuellen Charme ihren eigenen Platz am Lagerfeuer der Folk-Metal Szene zu besetzen, wie sie ein ums andere mal bei ihren Festival und Clubshows unter Beweis stellen. Greift euch einen Humpen Met und lasst die Köpfe kreisen wenn Mandragora Titania zum Tanze bitten!Auch als limitiertes Boxset mit DigiPak erhältlich

FABULOUS DESASTER - Crucify This! - CD

Bonn Area Thrash Metal strikes back! The German thrashers from Fabulous Desaster are back in 2025 with a new longplayer. Fans of the genre are likely to get sweaty fingers from the band name alone. The Bonn-based band can definitely keep the promise made with this name, because the quartet has lost nothing of its rousing, dynamic thrash, which contains one or two references to scene legends, since the previous album! As on the two previous albums, the focus is on fast and furious speed thrash songs with an extremely high energy level. On “Crucify This!”, the band is even more varied than before and, in addition to the typical high-speed tracks, also unpacks more complex songs and a mid-tempo steamroller. In the tradition of old school thrash metal, the content deals with social injustice and moral decay in society, the horror and absurdity of war. When the odd fictional horror story sneaks in, there's even room for a pinch of humor. With “Crucify This!”, Fabulous Desaster will definitely raise the bar for thrash metal from Germany yet again.

SUIDAKRA - DarkanakraD - VINYL 12" LP

Back to the roots?! Exactly 30 years to the month after the band was founded, German melodic/Celtic death metallers SUIDAKRA present their 15th studio album! Musically, the band seem to be returning to their early years with these 11 tracks, as DarkanakraD is undoubtedly dominated by melodic death metal parts, but at the same time also undergoes further development. The album, whose title translates as “Armageddon”, sounds as fresh and powerful as if the band had sprung from a fountain of youth and concludes the “Realms Of Odoric” trilogy, which began in 2016 with the album of the same name. The 11 songs, recorded, mixed and mastered for the first time by mastermind Arkadius himself at his own GHA Studio in Würzburg, were mastered by death metal legend Dan Swanö. This was something of a dream come true for Arkadius, as Edge Of Sanity played a formative role in the musical and melodic direction of the band in Suidakra's early days. With an At The Gates medley at the end of the record, Suidakra also pay tribute to another influence of their founding years. The content concept, as well as the corresponding artwork, was once again created by Kris Verwimp and so “Darkankrad” contains everything that has shaped the band over the last 30 years and is an album that could not have been a better present for the band's anniversary, both for themselves and their die-hard fans!

SLECHTVALK - At Death’s Gate (lim. DigiPak)

limited Digipak! Brutal & Epic Blackened Death Metal!The Dutch band Slechtvalk have been making their mark on the European metal scene since 1999 and have been delighting fans of symphonic, folk, black and Viking death metal for the past 25 years. While some bands lose their bite over the years, Slechtvalk present themselves more extreme and brutal than ever before on their sixth longplayer “At Death's Gate”. Fans of the band, who had to wait eight years for a follow-up to “Where Wandering Shadows and Mists Collide”, will be delighted with “At Death's Gate”. The Dutchmen create a dense, dark atmosphere with impressive precision, one moment creating a melodic tapestry of sound and the next bludgeoning everything to the ground. The 9 songs, which can perhaps best be described as “brutal, epic black/death metal”, were produced, mixed and mastered under the direction of Lasse Lammert at LSD Studio (Wind Rose, Alestorm, Strydegor, etc.).

LANKESTER MERRIN - Dark Mother's Child - CD

Highly dynamic, female fronted powerhouse! After their successful second album “Dark Mother Rises”, the female fronted melodic metallers LANKESTER MERRIN from Lower Saxony present their third album “Dark Mother's Child”. It offers nine neck-breaking and at the same time highly melodic songs, including true metal anthems and varied midtempo rockers, heavy double bass numbers and mighty power ballads. On “Dark Mother's Child”, the band continues its breathtaking development and sometimes goes even harder than on its predecessors. Razor-sharp solos, lightning-fast double bass passages and driving guitar riffs make this album an audio experience worth listening to, whereby the multi-faceted vocals of frontwoman Cat Rogers should not go unmentioned. She has succeeded in refining her style, making her voice an almost unmistakable figurehead for Lankester Merrin. The album was again recorded and produced at the Institut für Wohlklangforschung in Hanover (e.g. Drone, Grailknights) under the direction of Hannes Huke and is recommended to every fan of catchy, powerful and melodic power metal that, despite female vocals, stays away from the usual symphonic corner!

BATTLESWORD - (XX)V - Of Tales And Tragedies CD

Old School Melodic Death Metal Highlight ! Seit 25 Jahren ziehen BATTLESWORD nun schon ihre Kreise durch schwermetallische Gefilde und legen zu diesem Anlass ihren fünften Longplayer vor, welcher in seinem Titel "(XX)V" sowohl auf das Jubiläum, als auch die Albumnummer anspielt. Auch den Zusatz „Of Tales And Tragedies“ kann man getrost als Anlehnung an die Historie der Band und der Dinge die man in so einer Zeitspanne durchlebt deuten. Musikalisch machen Battlesword unbeirrt dort weiter wo sie zum Glück nie aufgehört haben: Es gibt den typischen Battlesword Sound, der immer mal wieder durch neue Elemente erweitert wurde. Von fast doomigen Parts bis hin zu gnadenlosen Blasts wird die stilistische Abwechslung einerseits nicht überstrapaziert, ist aber dennoch vielschichtig genug um bei den 11 Songs über die komplette Laufzeit nie Langeweile aufkommen zu lassen. Wie schon beim Vorgänger wurde „(XX)V“ im Big Easy Studio in Hennef von Michael "Freio" Haas aufgenommen und gemixt, während man das Mastering erneut in die Hände von Dan Swanö gelegt hat. Ein Novum in der Battlesword Historie ist übrigens, dass es bei „(XX)V - Of Tales And Tragedies“ keine Änderungen im Line-Up gegeben hat und man sich beim Song "Brethren Of The Sword" quasi eine Hommage an sich selbst erlaubt und gegönnt hat. Darüberhinaus gibt es natürlich nach wie vor genau das, was man von einem zünftigen Melodic Death Metal,- und einem Battlesword Album im speziellen - erwartet.

WALLOP - Hell On Wheels - CD

Oldschool Heavy Metal! After drummer Stefan Arnold left Grave Digger in 2018 after almost 23 years, it was time to resurrect the cult band WALLOP in the same year! And so the German heavy metal veterans, who released the highly acclaimed debut album "Metallic Alps" in 1985, disbanded afterwards and reunited 35 years later in their original line-up just as loudly, aggressively and enthusiastically, after "Alps On Fire" (2020) are now releasing their third longplayer. "Hell On Wheels" features unadulterated and authentic, original 80s old school heavy metal. On the one hand, the band has managed to develop further, but on the other hand, they don't sound like a modern band, because it is precisely the style of the 80s that characterizes the band. The use of keys and triggers was deliberately avoided during the album recordings. This album offers 10 songs full of independent old school heavy metal with catchy and straightforward songs that pick up speed and delight every fan of classic heavy metal!

COMMANDER - Angstridden - CD

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

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

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.

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!

AORYST - Relics Of Time - CD

With Thrash Metal through space and time! In some Indo-European languages, aorist is a special past tense that describes a completed, simple action. Born from the idea of mastermind Kristian Leš, who started writing the first songs back in 2018, Aoryst released their debut album in May 2024, creating a unique and captivating piece of music based on fast thrash metal with a small dose of death and classic metal. The album was recorded and produced by Jörg Uken at Soundlodge Recordings, who also played the drums. In the meantime, the line-up has been completed by Dominik Schlüter (e.g. Mourning Caress) in order to be able to travel through time and space as a live band in the future. "Relics Of Time" is definitely a surprise in the thrash metal sector, which has been very busy recently. You can definitely hear in the technically adept 8 songs with harsh vocals that we're dealing with musicians who haven't just been on the road since yesterday and who know exactly what they can do and what they want!

FINAL CRY - Zombique - CD

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.

EXTINCT - Incitement Of Violence - CD

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.

BATTLECREEK - Maze Of The Mind - CD

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.
