The tenth full-length studio album by legendary Danish Heavy/Thrash Metal band.
Artillery are true veterans when it comes to Thrash Metal. Consider a debut album that was unveiled in 1985, the Danish powerhouse was part of the growing momentum Thrash Metal had at the time. Although Taastrup and the San Francisco Bay Area can’t be really compared, the music that arose at both locations was very connected.
Artillery, that was a bit of an on/off journey during the span of time and can be spilt in three ears of which the first one brought the name on the Metal radar, and it’s the current times that builds on it strongly. Artillery returned with full speed in 2009, when the quintet unleashed "When Death Comes". Although the new album is a next blast, the way to "X" was a rough one. It was in 2019 when Morton Stützer passed away at the age of 57. Such a sad moment affects a band, and Artillery is no exception. It was a new chapter that had to be opened for the band and their new guitarist Kræn Meier was an important factor in this.
Although being rooted in Thrash Metal, Artillery always took a wider approach on music than solely sticking to one genre-given framework. Most of the offering comes with good hook lines, being the bridge to Power Metal. Lyrically, Artillery is a band that addresses various topics and has some reality connected songs on the new album.
"X" is an album that shows the full strength of the Danish Metal pioneers, guys that never get tired of a good riff and a well-forged melody. Mixed with the right level of aggressiveness, the new album transports the heydays of Thrash Metal into the here and now, while still being anchored in the present with a sound that is powerful and dynamic. "X" brings the forerunners of European Thrash Metal again on the agenda of Metalheads, and it's a headbangers delight!

The band relies on a drum computer to lay down the beats for their depiction of the human downfall, but it all adds to the somewhat industrial metal feel they were aiming for. Reinier Schenk of Shumcot Studios helped them out with the mixing and mastering of the album and once more the production manages to capture that specific atmosphere we have come to expect from obscure black metal bands. However no lo-fi production this time, but a clear and somewhat filthy caption of what these lads are capable of. And they are capable of a lot, if you only open your mind for it. For who can see past the demo-ish production, samples and drum programming, there is more to see!
This debut is amongst the best Black Metal in 2011 and the rather dismal production makes it worthwhile!!

The band maintains a certain kind of chilling atmosphere throughout the songs and keeps it like that, without over-trying or experimenting at parts. The whole album revolves a lot around Depressive Black characteristics, without actually embracing them so that one would call them a DSBM band. Think of a bands similar to Kaltetod but a bit inferior to it, caressing both Atmospheric and Raw Black at the same time, while heavily depending on the fuzzy and cold sound of the guitars and and the howling vocals. The drums follow an ordinary playing and they don't make a huge difference to the feeling of the album, as the over-buzzed sound of the guitars, aiming for a sense of isolation and despair, are betrayed by the weak riffs and melodies of the songs.
This will appeal to anyone inside and outside the genre!

Astonishingly, the fiery rampage of Asomvel’s Metal-Punk-Rock’n'Roll masterpiece "Knuckle Duster" marks 20 years since these British bruisers first started jamming on a pig farm with a load of Special Brew. Formed in 1993 by guitarist Lenny Robinson and bassist/vocalist Jay-Jay Winter, Asomvel’s first drummer was ex-Cathedral/Acid Reign man Mark Wharton, but “about ten” more came and went before the band recorded their first demo in 2001. After 2007′s "Full Moon Dog" 10″ the power trio managed to thrash out their raucous debut LP "Kamikaze" in 2009 to much acclaim, Asomvel firmly establishing themselves as underdog cult heroes of the UK Heavy Metal underground. Barely a year later, however, the band was shaken to its core when Jay-Jay Winter was killed in a road accident. Although a devastating tragedy, Lenny knew that the band had to continue in tribute to the determined spirit of their founding frontman.
With ex-Deathwing bassist/vocalist Conan onboard, Asomvel headlined their own inaugural Full Moon Dog Festival in Bradford in 2011 in honour of their fallen comrade, and have shared the stage with the likes of Carcass, Anvil and Orange Goblin.
When Will Palmer started up Bad Omen Records in 2013, his formative ambition was to coax a new album out of Asomvel, sending them into the studio with producer James ‘Atko’ Atkinson. "Knuckle Duster" is perhaps the band’s most vital and complete release to date.
The album kicks off with “Dead Set On Living”, a storm of drums and heavy guitar riffs, with a very British, very Traditional Metal sound. “Trash Talker” is a foot stomping, head banging romp while “Sheep In Wolf's Clothing” and “Cash Whore” both quicken the pace and rattle along at speed with some very good guitar work. Slowing the pace down to near Doom Metal tempo is “Waster”, a heavy riff driven song that chugs relentlessly to a conclusion. “Shoot Ya Down” is a classic traditional Heavy Metal song with title track “Knuckle Duster” sounding raw and aggressive. “Wrecking Ball” chugs by with an awesome guitar riff and the pace is upped as “Final Hour” flies by in a flurry of guitar and drums. The quickest (and shortest) song on the album is “Stranglehold” which has power and pace, as it hurtles by in just one minute forty eight seconds. Final song is “Hangman's Rope”, yet another example of everything that British Heavy Metal stands for.
Overall, traditional British Heavy Metal at its bombastic best! Thunderous drums and bass, blistering guitar solos and powerful vocals, all guaranteed to keep your head banging!!
Highly recommended for fans of Motörhead!!!

€ 14.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 149
Being the only album without guitarist Eric Daniels (who had just disbanded a totally different incarnation of Asphyx with Ron van Pol and Sander van Hoof), this album was written and recorded by original drummer Bob Bachus, who rejoin the band, and demo bass player-vocalist Theo Loomans, drafted by Bob as the new frontman, who also played guitar this time. Although DeadHead guitarist Ronnie Vanderwey credited as providing guitars on this album, in fact he only played live with the band, and they were actually performed by Theo Loomans. Sadly, Loomans would pass away in a vehicular accident not long after the album's release, leaving this his one and only appearance with the band.
Whereas Asphyx normally included huge amounts of Doom on their albums, this was almost totally absent on "God Cries", giving the impression this could hardly have been called a regular Asphyx album.
The album is a short, straight forward and fast piece of Death Metal with some Thrash Metal riffs thrown in. Catchy tunes with high standard riffing and one of the best drumming performances from Bob Bachus in his entire Asphyx career. And Theo Loomans turned out to be a gifted instrumentalist and composer.

Quickly following up their bludgeoning debut, "The Rack", Asphyx wasted no time writing and recording its follow-up, "Last One On Earth", which was released in 1992.
Further refining their craft, Eric Daniels comes up with some of his best riffs, while Martin van Drunen's tortured howls sound altogether otherworldly.
Martin van Drunen recorded the vocals alone in the studio without realizing he had already been removed from the band. The vocals were intended to be recorded by Ron van Pol. However, the other members of Asphyx thought the vocal tracks were fine with van Drunen singing, so they decided to keep them. Since the lyrics to be sung by van Pol had not been written yet, van Drunen's lyrics were also kept.
This special edition features a remixed & remastered version of the album and includes bonus material from their "Crush The Cenotaph" EP (tracks 9-10), two live songs, and their entire "Promo '91" demo (tracks 14-16).

Formed back in 1987 while gaining inspiration from bands such as Venom, Possessed, Hellhammer, Messiah and Death, Asphyx quickly achieved universal renowned. Not even their unofficial split in 1996, which was preceded by a reincarnation under the name of Soulburn in 1998, diminished the proud following of Underground maniacs that Asphyx had.
"On The Wings Of Inferno" is a no-fillers masterpiece, which features nine new infernal hymns of the band’s well-known pulverizing midtempo riffs, a crushing Doom edge to it, as well as demonic speed-ups, which never lack in neither catchiness nor brutality.
The band regained some focus on this album, the old dark, Doom-infused sound, and added a major new player in Wannes Gubbels, who also sings for Pentacle and contributed greatly to the success of their excellent "Under The Black Cross" album. His voice is as exceptional here as it is for Pentacle, a growling crossbreed of John Tardy and previous Asphyx singer Martin van Drunen.
Add some terrific cover art, and this is a release you shouldn't miss - even if you did when it first came out.
Short after its release, Asphyx disbanded again, and "On The Wings Of Inferno" would be their final studio album until they reunited in 2007 and released the seventh album, "Death… The Brutal Way", in 2009.
Real, true, uncompromising old school Death/Doom Metal and everlasting praise of the first generation of Death Metal spirit!

Asphyxia was formed in Verviers, Liège, Belgium, in 1987 and released 3 demos and one full length album. It was the first band for Christian Olde Wolbers (now Vio-Lence, ex-Fear Factory, ex-Cyclone, and even playing live at Korn and Overkill) he played in, succeeded Calo after the album was released.
During the early days of the 80s, acts as Ostrogoth, Crossfire, Acid, Cyclone and others used to show the strength of Belgian Metal scene. But as time passed by and attention shifted to USA Thrash Metal growing scene, it seemed that things there cooled down. And some bands choose the worst moment possible to release albums: when USA charts were taken by Alternative Rock tendencies. This made many good bands' releases to never earn the attention they deserved. In 1991, "Metallica" album made Metallica a huge name, and other Thrash Metal bands on USA had to follow the tendency (it was a do or die thing), and things had frozen on Germany. In other words: to stay on a USA classic Thrash Metal way influenced by early works of Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus and others (in other words, the combination of aggressiveness with melodic care) was a suicide, but the Asphyxia made it. In 1991, the quintet tried its lucky with their only full-length, "Exit: Reality", that is reissued now.
Their music is technical and aggressive, but done with extreme care on the arrangements, with tons of energy and personality, what many Thrash Metal fans would ask for, but found a wall on the musical market changes back then. André Gielen worked as producer and on the sound engineering, giving the band a very good sonority that obeys the models heard on albums as "Peace Sells…" and "Fabulous Desaster". In other words: it's aggressive and nasty, but with a defined and clean outfit. And the artwork of Eric Philippe for the cover is really great.
Strong and aggressive, with very good vocals, sharp and insane guitar riffs and oppressive bass guitar and drums playing, this album makes the happiness of Thrash Metal fans. Today, "Exit: Reality" stays as a legacy for Asphyxia's existence. And if you're a Thrash Metal maniac, you must hear it!

Assailant is one of the most promising Thrash Metal bands from Latin America. Hailing from Heredia in Costa Rica, this is not the most common home for quality Thrash Metal, but this release speaks for itself as for the music scene in Costa Rica, too. Playing slightly Technical, Bay Area-influenced Thrash (though far from being called Progressive), the band performs some well-structured Thrash tunes with catchy riffs and aggressive vocals with a hint of Slayer.
The complete album gets some extra charme by not having a clean, polished production, but a perfectly fitting raw sound.
This release is a re-issue of the strictly limited 2012 demo (which had only 150 copies), remastered and with added bonus-material (2 live & 2 rehearsal tracks) as well as a bigger booklet with more pics and information. Though this release comes with remastered sound, the raw character of the music is kept intact.

Selfreleased before, now this 55-minute epic has more than enough depth to keep somebody engaged for almost an hour with this release.
Instead of taking the traditional instrumental intro, “Unrelieved Solitude” opens up with some very creepy whispers and screams accompanied by distorted guitars. The atmospheric synths are again overpowering and very nicely set a creepy vibe. Having more ‘time limit’ freedom, the songs in this release are slower to develop, but always having very interesting and melancholic passages, like on “Kingdom of White Madness” and the minimalistic instrumental “Voices from the Night Sky”.
“Farewell (Last Winter)” is one of our favorite tracks in this release thanks to its very dramatic atmosphere and emotional tempo changes. This track has a very intense Doom/Suicidal BM vibe that is very easily achieved by Astarium’s skills. After the interlude “Velleity About Aeonian Rain” we get another excellent song that starts with eerie wind sounds. The harsh vocals are quite fitting in the band’s sound and they greatly enhance the creepiness of the band’s music.
The album’s original closing track is the cavernous “When Humanity will Die…” - a very bleak song that starts with some intense droning sounds. This song evolves very slowly and allows the agony to be extended.
This version of the album has a bonus track titled “Permafrost”, which is a very upbeat and enjoyable cover of Krah.
“Wyrm Of Melancholy” is one hell of a release that will please any fan of this very engaging genre. If you like your music to be highly Atmospheric and have some BM-shrieks in it, look no further and get yourself a copy of this album!!

- Price in bonus-scraps: 99
Perfect mix of Death/Doom and Gothic with Progressive Metal.
Pure old school Doom-style with guttural and deep voices with a heavy, crushing drums, guitar riffs, acoustic structures that can be described as Epic or Medieval look, even mythological, using these acoustic or percussion, crystal clear sound and clean vocals parts. It's remembering some old Tiamat in his episode "Wildhoney" and so on, as well as Pungent Stench, Therion (but without the opera), of course at its own way of expression and its own innovative and interesting proposal.
"Zerzura" is an idea developed by the band over a long mythological journey based on "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights", Arabian tales of medieval Middle East, hence the influential epic / Arabic ambience. The word that gives name to this album is the name of the legendary lost city of Zerzura.
Atmospheric sound and obscures melodies, an interesting travel to the unknown world of Zerzura. Excellent album!!

ASTRAL SLEEP “Astral Doom Musick” /GLP + Board Game/
- Product Code: SRN010

€ 17.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 179
The third full-length studio album by Finnish Psychedelic Doom Metal band.
"Astral Doom Musick" is Astral Sleep’s definitive creation. Four massive songs and 44 minutes of Experimental Doom Metal on detailed, organic and powerful audio track. The album is like life itself: beautiful yet horrid, complex and multi-layered, ever-changing and in constant movement.
Their overall sound takes the Psychedelic aspect and mixes it with Death Metal and a lot of melody. Clean vocals are prevalent as well and, while not as strong as the Death growls, they do fit the nature of the music rather well. Every song is here is multi layered with a lot of variety and directions happening.
Gatefold 180g vinyl with ornamental artwork includes board game. The game expands and deepens the concept of the album and takes players to the heart of the story. The "musick" and the game deliver the full album experience, independently or in unity. The compined entity offers an in-depth experience of the album’s mythological world. Game tells the album narrative through a 12-page game book, and lets the players experience the story in an interactive old-school fun way. The game is playable solo, or with multiple players, and requires minimal preparations. It has designed to offer a lot for music lovers and board gamers alike, and withstand the test of time.
“Astral Doom Musick” is a solid slab of Psychedelic Doom Metal that might also appeal to people who want to get into longer songs but are not ready to wade into the waters of Funeral Doom Metal. As the album displays a wide variety, both traditional Doom and Melodic Death/Doom Metal fans will also want to check this out!

With obvious influences from Sepultura and many other old school Thrash (and Deathrash) bands, Thessaloniki’s Death/Thrashers deliver aggressive riffing and vocals, well performed lead guitars and excellent solos. Also you can hear the old school spirit of American Thrash like Whiplash and old Slayer, with groove breakdowns and slow riff changes.
A release that really worth your listen! Powerful Thrash Metal in vein of early Sepultura!!
