Re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary Ukrainian Pagan/Folk/Symphonic Black Metal band.
Almost five years in wait, after significant line-up changes, the most notorious and dedicated Pagan Metal force from Ukraine sounds as never diverse, enriching their sound even more with intricate traditional harmonies. Mind-blowingly rich in tempos, atmospheres and anthemic feeling, music even bears a Progressive way while handling the riffs, not to bury the Black Metal past of the band too deep as well.
Blending it with Progressive elements, Pink Floyd-like Psychedelic Rock and the usage of violin and Folk instruments, this album is actually monumental. The whole production is brilliant, much better than any other Nokturnal Mortum release.
A brilliant piece of Pagan Epic Folk Black Metal! Definitely Nokturnal Mortum’s strongest album so far, by far the best release in their genre and definitely one of the best releases of last years!!
Released with early raw-mix sound. Include some design differences and without Ukrainian language.

"Irruption" is a solid Thrash Metal debut from a band that is clearly not afraid of stepping outside the boundaries a bit that so narrowly define this genre. Ten amazing songs, with a very ´90s flavour and a perfect sound.

The debut full-length album by Italian Thrash Metal band.
Nuclear Aggressor just comes straight in and rocks your ass off for 10 straight songs. This band has the speed, fury and sound of the Thrash bands straight from the 80′s! This is some true Slayer type stuff. A real headbanger!!
The riffs are relentlessly fast and full of hammer ones, pull offs and tremolo speeds that would make Kerry King’s wrist ache. This is pure early 80′s Thrash with a beefy modern sound. Drum work is intense and the vocals are raw, exhilarating and loud. Even when the band starts a song off slow, like on “Praise to Insanity”, the slower tempo doesn’t last long as the band kicks it up another 100 bpm’s and begins to Thrash yet again!
Finally a song that is slower! “The Grave Awaits” is a more groovy song as the riff takes over your body and makes you headbang harder than ever. This song is the slowest one on the album, but even then…it’s only slower for half of the song. The album ends with the title track, and yes, it’s furiously fast!
This album f****ng rules! Amazing writing, musicianship and intensity!!
Dark Thrash Metal intensity, some completely unforgiving stuff for fans of raw, fast and brutal old-school Thrash Metal!! Grab a beer or box of bee, chug them and mosh!!!
For fans of Kreator and oldschool German Thrash Metal!

This 20th anniversary album, celebrating 20 years of Nuclear Blast's history, is made up of 10 songs, all written, composed and recorded by Rage composer and musician Victor Smolski. Musically, it's 10 varied tracks of high quality Power Metal. The thing that makes it special are the vocals to this album, featuring talents from: Edguy/Avantasia's Tobias Sammet, Helloween's Andi Deris, Nightwish's Marco Hietala, Sonata Arctica's Toni Kakko, Therion's Mats Leven, Destruction’s Marcel Schirmer, Blind Guardian’s Hansi Kursch, Communic’s Oddleif Stensland, Rage’s Peter Wagner and Tarja Turunen. Like the music which Smolski has composed for Rage, it proves to be quite a Thrashy album on the whole. Changes of vocalists make every track totally different stylistically and vocally.
Amazing album and musthave for every Heavy and Power Metal fan!!

The eleventh full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal band.
Death Metal icons return with their highly anticipated new album. Propelled by the inhuman vocals of John Tardy, the obscenely brutal guitar tone of Trevor Peres and rhythmic brilliance of drummer Donald Tardy, Obituary redefined heaviness throughout the 1990s. From undisputed classics "Slowly We Rot" and "Cause Of Death", through an unexpected hiatus to their current creative renaissance, Obituary have pioneered, defined and expanded extreme metal, becoming one of the underground’s most recognized and respected acts.
"Dying Of Everything" destroys in the time-honoured tradition of early classics "Slowly We Rot" and "Cause Of Death", while maintaining the killer studio sound that the band has been perfecting in their own studio since 2007’s monstrous "Xecutioner’s Return".
These ten new songs smash, kick, and slay with admirable levels of vehemence and viciousness, as if Obituary have reawakened the virile, fearless spirit of their younger selves! It is a crushing slab of the dark'n'hard stuff, executed with merciless precision, and delivered with a killer mix!!

The first re-release of the ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal band.
Death Metal legends make their Relapse debut with the "Inked In Blood". Released on October 24, 2014 in Europe and October 28, 2014 in the United States, via Gibtown Music/Relapse Records, it is the first studio album with bassist Terry Butler and lead guitarist Kenny Andrews, making this the first Obituary album not to feature Frank Watkins on bass since 1989's "Slowly We Rot".
Almost three decades in, "Inked In Blood" stands out as one of the finest moments in Obityary’s already godlike discography. The riffs, groove, snarl and rage are as fierce as ever, putting most all other contemporary Death Metal bands to shame.
Obituary are the definitive Death Metal band, and "Inked In Blood" is an instant classic amongst their already storied catalogue. Obituary are both the originators and the torch-bearers of the genre. "Inked In Blood" is the sound of true Death Metal kings reclaiming their throne!

Second re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal band.
If Death Metal first came to life during the mid- to late '80s courtesy of bands like Florida's Death ("Scream Bloody Gore"), another Florida band, Obituary, brought it to fruition in 1989 with "Slowly We Rot". These five guys took what bands like Death and the San Francisco Bay Area's Possessed had done to a new level of Deathliness. The music of Obituary wasn't simply an Extreme form of Slayer-esque Speed Metal with ghastly vocals; it was full-fledged Death Metal, with down-tuned guitar riffs of monstrous size, painful-sounding growls and moans for vocals, and distinct tempo changes that often brought the songs down to a lumbering Doomy tempo (a revolutionary thing at the time of release) rather relentlessly breakneck speeds à la Thrash. As one of the pioneers of this genre, they created a heavy album where everything was monstrous. From their down-tuned guitar riffs, deep growls and moans and distinct tempo changes.
Obituary's debut album was a ground-breaking release at the end of the 1980s. They were blazing a new trail, along with other Florida peers like Morbid Angel and, a bit later, Deicide, Malevolent Creation, and Cannibal Corpse. It is the only Obituary album to feature bassist Daniel Tucker. Lead guitarist Allen West would leave soon after, but returned for the third album, "The End Complete". Despite being recorded in standard tuning and with Fender Stratocasters, it is considered to be one of the band's heavier efforts. The remainder of the band's output has been recorded in D tuning.
"Slowly We Rot" is a historically significant album, not only in the context of Obituary's career but, more importantly, in the context of Death Metal in general. This is partly where it all began -- here and across the Atlantic, where the Grindcore bands of Earache were carving out their own niche, one that would soon overlap with that of Obituary and their peers...

Remastered re-release of the third full-length album by legendary American Death Metal band.
Clocking in at a taut nine songs in 39 minutes without a second of filler, "The End Complete" may be the definitive Obituary studio album. The band's third, it marks the return of lead guitarist Allen West and it also marks an impressive leap forward in production. The songwriting and playing on Obituary's past albums had been commendable, and "The End Complete" is no exception in that regard. Rather, it's the return of West and the remarkable production job by Scott Burns that sets this album apart from its predecessors. The return of West is important not only because his solos are one of the band's trademarks but also because he's an integral songwriter, here co-penning four of the nine songs. Burns' crystal-clear, in-your-face production is not to be underestimated, either. If anything had marred Obituary's past two albums, both of them otherwise excellent, it was the murkiness of the sound, especially the drums. That's not an issue here at all, however, as Obituary have never sounded this great. The guitar tones especially are downright vivid, particularly when West and rhythm guitarist Trevor Peres depart from one another such as during the solos (the title track is a great showcase for this, and so is "Rotting Ways"). You can practically feel the respective guitar tones buzzing through your head, they're so well recorded. And so are John Tardy's vocals, which are sometimes overdubbed to make them all the more potent and nuanced. They're so well recorded, in fact, you can actually understand some of the lyrics!
This album is Obituary's best selling, with over 200000 copies sold in the U.S. and more than 550000 worldwide. It reached #16 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart. Also, the band's new logo introduced on "The End Complete" is the best selling shirt print in the history of Roadrunner Records.
Re-edition includes two bonus tracks!
