HOODED MENACE - Fulfill The Curse
CD (jewel case)
200 CZK / 8 EUR
This is where it all began…
Even if by now - thanks to his numerous projects/bands such as VACANT COFFIN, ACID WITCH or CLAWS, all sharing the same dedication to death-metal the ancient way - Lasse Pyykkö has become a reference in the world of all things old-school and creepy, back in 2008 he was still ‘just’ PHLEGETHON mastermind, a forgotten death/thrash gem from the early 90’s Finnish scene that had recently woken back from its fifteen years plus slumber. Formed during summer 2007 under the combine influences of the mighty ‘Blind Dead’ series and heavy doses of dooooooom as professed by the godz such as CATHEDRAL, AUTOPSY or CANDLEMASS, HOODED MENACE would soon prove to be Pyykkö most popular and successful outfit.
The relationship with DOOMENTIA began with their inaugural release, the cult two-tracks demo ‘The Eyeless Horde’: initially pressed on limited CDr by Pyykkö himself, it was re-released a year later by the label on a classy 7 inches with gatefold cover. Their debut full-length ‘Fulfill The Curse’ soon became the label’s top seller .
‘Fulfill The Curse’ has been once again summoned from the dead, this newest edition bringing a whole new revised layout. And if you were wondering why that this already classic album is now going through its third (!) pressing (and we’re not even mentioning the LP version that was gone in the blink of an eye), now it’s time to understand why. Because the Blind Dead are coming to get YOU!

HORSE LATITUDES - Awakening
CD (jewel case)
200 CZK / 8 EUR
We should probably blame our long-term zombified friends at HOODED MENACE for this but one of the (many) sides of seeing their latest split 12’’ sold out in just a couple of days (!) means two things: first, that the Blind Dead are still damn sexy beasts to some. And two, that as many people got exposed to the earth shattering power of Helsinki’s HORSE LATITUDES through the shamanic 10 minutes long sludge of “Flame Of Will”.
A lot have been said about the fact this unusual Finnish lot, how they dared putting together a three-person unit that features no guitar yet TWO basses, how they’ve taken their name from an old Jim Morrison poem, how they seem less to come up with actual songs but more with apocalyptic incantations about the forthcoming end of the world or how they sound like OM on cracks or their fellow citizens FLESHPRESS after a ten days walk through the desert with no water. Their second proper full-length ‘Awakening’ just confirms all those preconceptions – in spade.
Clocking at little over 45 minutes with six long dirges, ‘Awakening’ might be just that – the entrance to a whole different sonic vortex. Listening to their hypnotic yet slow-as-fuck groove is like free falling with your eyes: you have no choice but to let go. And it seems there’s no way to go but down here. So submit yourself!

HORN OF THE RHINO - Grengus
CD (jewel case)
200 CZK / 8 EUR
Not that many band cite as influences BOLT THROWER, AUTOPSY and WINO or SOUNDGARDEN. Then again, not that many bands sound like Bilbao’s HORN OF THE RHINO. If in 2010 their first album ‘Weight Of Coronation’ on Doomentia Records proved to be slippery case – that is an album that denies any form of categorization, apart maybe from being filed under the ‘fucking heavy’ tag – its follow-up will undoubtedly see even more people scratching their heads, that is if they manage to survive this insanely powerful barrage of riffs.
A far more heavier and meaner affair than their previous offering, the subject matters of this fourth full-length alone should easily tip those who will dare stepping in that ‘Grengus’ is no nice walk in the park with songtitles like “Piles Of Severed Heads”, “Waste For Ghouls” or “Awaken Horror Of Tuul”. Once again, you’ll find here a collusion of sludge, doom and heavy fuckin’ metal but with the band own twist. Then again, it’s never totally devoid of melody somehow, with guitar player and frontman Javier Gàlvez unmistakable voice still be the most valuable weapon in their armoury as he’s more than ever able to rasp in a demonic voice one second and sing in a soothing yet desperate way the next.

MOONLESS - Calling All Demons
CD (jewel case)
200 CZK / 8 EUR
There’s worse places to start, than to play your debut show opening for Japanese serial-killer obsessed CHURCH OF MISERY. Then again, since MOONLESS also later on did gigs with SAINT VITUS, PENTAGRAM and UFOMAMMUT and are about to unleash their brilliant debut on DOOMENTIA, one could say this was just a beginning…
The band started in Copenhagen, Denmark back in 2008 by people who cut their teeth in the local punkscene throughout the 00’s in bands such as No Hope For The Kids, Hjertestop, Amdi Petersens Armé and Village Idiot. People in the know will acknowledge these were important bands helping to put Denmark back on the international map of underground music.
After releasing a demo on vinyl (‘Born Burned Out’) in really limited quantity, the band went in the studio to record the debutalbum ‘Calling All Demons’ in September 2010. The album was recorded on a small Danish island called Samsø, in the backroom of an Austin veteran cars museum, if you can believe, in only three days.
Musically lying somewhere inbetween stoner, doom, psychedelic and heavy 70’s rock, this still quite young outfit really makes a difference by having perfectly nailed the ability to write great songs. Underneath the Tony Iommi-styled riffing, thunderous drums and fuzzy bass lines, lies choruses and real catchy hooks that will stick in your cranium for the rest of the month once you’ve heard them.
‘Calling All Demons’ is accompanied by mindblowing coverart by Tue S. and the songs on this debut album are nothing short of a triumph, ready to step up at the top of the mountain of bodies that used to be called the stoner scene. It’s both old school yet fresh sounding slow bonecrushin’ rock’n’roll. Pure primal testosterone sludge done the right way, the MOONLESS way.

Tampa, Florida. Once upon the time death-metal Mecca, before the whole thing started to shift back into the kind of morose vibe and dullness it should have never left in the first place, leaving behind today only a handful of bands to carry the torch whatever the costs are.
Formed in 2010, DRUID LORD isn’t a seasoned band per se but its members damn are. Having served massively in the sadly overlooked EQUINOX but also in DIABOLIC, ACHERON or even the mighty INCUBUS, those guys are the real deal and have collectively decided under their new banner to go back to their roots, both musically and spiritually wise. So while the music of DRUID LORD is a fine return to the days of yore when VENOM, CELTIC FROST and POSSESSED reigned supreme, a time where death fuckin’ metal meant heavy tempos, great riffs and dark atmosphere, not technically wanking nor ill-fated so-called concepts, they’ve been playing over the last two years the UG game faithfully according to its original rules. So besides one hell of a debut album released on Walpurgis night in 2010 (and aptly titled ‘Hymns Of The Wicked’), they’ve also been steadily putting out split seven EP with a couple of fellow retro-metalheads, namely WOODEN STAKE, KAIJU and SKELETAL SPECTRE.
But this one is different. The first 7 inches of theirs bearing their name alone underneath its creepy Mark Riddick artwork enhanced by your average DOOMENTIA quality stamp, ‘Druid Death Cult’ also contains what is maybe their heaviest material to date. Yes, the fact that the whole thing starts off to the sound of thunder, pouring thunder and of a church bell echoing (Black Sabbath anyone?!) in the distance ain’t no coincidence as those two new tracks, once again recorded by the band’s own Tony Blakk last fall, were conceived under the sign of doooooom. Twelve fuckin’ minutes that are bound to firmly put DRUID LORD at the top of the old-school doom/death foodchain. Ugh!

Oh yeah, it’s time for another killer split seven inches boys and girls and that one is red fucking hot!
Still obviously featuring Zack Rose from the mighty NUNSLAUGHTER and CRUCIFIED MORTALS on guitar and vocals, NEKROFILTH are vomiting forth the same kind of punkish proto-death metal that would have fit perfectly on SLAUGHTER’s ‘Strappado’ or REPULSION’s ‘Horrified’ if the latter had dropped the blasbeats and went for full-on SLAYER worship instead. As a matter of fact, let’s fairly say that if their ‘Worship Destruction’ twelve inches or split with NUNSLAUGHTER (both released by HELLS HEADBANGERS last year) made you wanna rock with your cock out, those three new as dirty and sick tunes will strip you naked and devour for the nearest brain available in no time.
Talking of rock and fuckin’ roll, while not everybody has recovered from that awesome ride with the devil that was last year’s SPEEDWOLF debut (once again on HELLS HEADBANGERS), Ohio’s werewolf-powered answer both MOTÖRHEAD and THE ENGLISH DOGS once again deliver the goods with one “Overkill” inspired anthem, like a turbocharged trip on an endless highway to the sound of spikier ‘Ace Of Spades’ in a flashy-looking hot rod with a beautiful lady in the back ready for some action.

limited to 500 copies only
The relationship between HOODED MENACE and DOOMENTIA RECORDS comes a long way and doesn’t seem to show any sign of ending anytime soon. All for he better! A new proof being this brand new spanking 12 inches, the fourth (!) in a row in an ongoing series of split for the Finnish horror masters, who are about to wrap up the recording of their third full-lenght and first for RELAPSE RECORDS. “Instrumental Of Eternal Damnation” sees them slowing down things even more on a nearly 9 minutes long dirge that will not only delight those who dig the most their ‘doomier’ side but also all of you perverts who likes to smell of freshly stirred up cemetery grounds.
A quick glance at the list of acts that dared sharing a piece of wax before with the Eyeless Horde speaks volume about how fat and greasy their armoury was in order to sustain the shock. But no matter how COFFINS, ILSA or ASPHYX fit the definition of ‘heavy’, HORSE LATITUDES’ own interpretation of it is truly their own. Taking their name from a 1967 DOORS song and based in Helsinki, Finland, this three-piece sound is actually so damn pounding that they don’t even need a guitar anymore! Propelled by not one but TWO basses and ritualistic drums, call it what you want – sludge, doom, wackozigo etc. – but remember: as their second full-length is about to be unleashed also on DOOMENTIA, this toxic-fuelled and head-stuck-in-the-cloud ten minutes marathon to the end of the earth is just a warning.

pressing: 250 copies on black wax and 250 copies on transparent green
single jacket covered by UV-lac with tour miniposter and lyrics
Is there any other bands on the fuckin’ planet who could pretend to be heavier than UNDERGANG and FUNEBRARUM?! The first one may still be seen as a ‘young’ band from Copenhagen, Denmark, while besides having individually been dwelling in the US underground for almost two decades the collective known as FUNEBRARUM had been waving the flag of ‘real’ death-metal since 1999, but both share the same outlook on what their music should look, be like and sound like. And both agree that the overall lowend has to have the size of Manhattan and an appetite for destruction worthy of Godzilla. Having teamed up for a fifteen dates European tour that is due to start on February 11th, one could only wonder how many will be left standing by the time both acts are done desecrating the earth…
But what a better way to celebrate this congregation of apocalyptic riders than releasing a monstrous split 7 inches in the purest underground tradition?! FUNEBRARUM’ side not only features their first ever track since 2009’s ‘The Sleep Of Morbid Dreams’ but the exclusive “Delusions In The Sheltered Tombs” (recorded last

VINDICATOR - There Will Be Blood (red)
LP
320 CZK / 13 EUR
heavy board jacket / insert
limited to 100 copies
It’s hard to tell if those so-called ‘new wave of US thrash-metal’ has ever been a reality or just one those journo’s wild fantasy but if such thing would have ever existed, you’d probably find VINDICATOR at the top of the list. Then again, when you’re being stranded somewhere in the Cleveland area, Ohio as the Stown brothers Vic (guitar, vocals) and Jesse (drums) were, in the end you have no choice but to follow the rest of the herd… Or simply go for the kill. And they did, as early as in 2005 when ‘real’ thrash seemed like a thing of the past, only to be revered by thirty years plus old metalheads with tears in their eyes.
That such a killer debut as ‘There Will Be Blood’ had to be self-released due to a total lack of interest from potential labels back in 2008 almost seems like heresy now but it’s not even like the band themselves cared much. As a matter of fact, as if striving from being free from any outside pressure or hype, they simply set out to release a straight, balls-to-the-walls, no-frills-and-no-bullshit-allowed METAL album. Sitting comfortably somewhere between early MEGADETH tainted with the ‘evil’ approach of SLAYER and the typically German fury of SODOM, the beauty of this raging little fucker is that it doesn’t even pretend to step forward unmasked. Granted with one of the most literate cover out there, full of songtitles alone that just don’t beat around the bush and tell you straight what the score is (“Pain And Suffering”, “Shrapnel” or “Thrash And Destroy” just to name a few) and even rougher and rawer than its sophomore ‘The Antique Witcheries’ released two years later, ‘There Will Be Blood’ shows no mercy. Now re-released on LP with the usual high DOOMENTIA standards, this is once again the time to raise the flag of hate and re-launch the infernal overkill. Aaaaaargh!!!!

(SOLD OUT)
casewrapped jacket coated by matt lamination / printed inner bag / limited to 100 copies
The third full-lenght in a row to be recorded in 2007 by what might be MASTER’s longest running line-up, ‘Slaves To Society’ wasn’t just a important album for the death-metal veterans because of its so-called shocking artwork being officially censored upon its release but also since it marked their artistic rebirth, later confirmed with a bang with ‘The Human Machine’.
Yes, this is classic MASTER to the core but while the music has the kind of instant drive and hunger we hadn’t hear since their self-titled debut, it’s really the heavy dose of bile displayed by Paul Speckmann here that makes it truly special. The man has never been shy with his intentions, especially he permanently moved from the States to the Czech Republic. But to put it simple, he’s never sounded that pissed off. Our rotten society, the authorities, our corrupted government, you, me… Everybody’s a target and he’s more than happy to aim at us and let freedom ring with a shotgun blast to quote one famous line of one famous thrash anthem.
‘Slaves To society’ ain’t just the sound of one of death-metal most seminal act reclaiming his throne. It’s the call to arms from one of the scene most caustic and vicious yet cruelly accurate critic. It’s the sound of Paul Speckmann raging at the world and having a blast doing it.
Now available for the first time on LP and with its original cover artwork intact. Fuck censorship!

USURPRESS - Tales Of Possessors
7EP
150 CZK / 6 EUR
Hot on the heels of their first split EP with fellow deathmongers BOMBS OF HADES, here comes Uppsala’s USURPRESS first proper EP. Okay, so one could say that those four tracks aren’t exactly new since they were available first a CDr then as a tape as their first demo in 2010 and were “the first four tracks we wrote, simple as that” adds their vocalist Steffe, also of punk warriors DISKONTO. But since it was pressed to respectively only 100 and 55 (!) copies, here’s your chance to once again experience the first seeds planted by this death/crust band from Sweden, also featuring Daniel Ekeroth, former INSISION/DELLAMORTE four stringer and currently desecrating virgins and cheap beers alike with IRON LAMB.
“We try to mix both styles, our vocals and riffs are coming from the death-metal angle but our drums and song structures are more in the crust/punk vein. That was our intention from the beginning, and still is. We try to use strange/disharmonic chord changes, influenced by VOIVOD and prog’ rock, but we also did our best keeping the songs short and to the point. We’re probably more connected to the metal scene though and that's fine by us. Our lyrics are definitively stepped in a metal discourse, but they are not gore/horror stories. In short: we are not pretentious enough to be metal and not self-righteous enough to be punk ah!”
And with a 12 inches just around the corner, and both a split with PYRAMIDO and a debut full-length to follow, this is just the beginning.
Swedish D-beat reigns supreme!!!

casewrapped single jacket / black vinyl / including A2 poster / printed inner sleeve / limited to 500 copies
So you thought Warhammer, Apocalyptic Raids or Hellkommander were the only true heirs to Hellhammer and Celtic Frost throne didn’t you?! Surely, formed in 2009, Florence’s Barbarian also namechecked Running Wild or early Bathory as one of t...heir main influences but come on, as soon as the first notes of “Serve In Heaven, Reign In Hell” hit you off and ‘Borys Crossburn’ lets go his first ‘ugh!’ of the day, you know what the score is and as Tom G. Warrior would have say himself, the usurper’s tears surely guide their sword. Just look up at each of those three Italians’ role in the band: ‘necroharmonic guitarmageddon and invocations of baltic storms and polish metal albums’, ‘eruptions of evil from cracked earth’ and ‘fuck off bombardment’. Indeed, only 1984 is real!!!
This first set of six morbid tales was recorded by this trio in the classic sense of the word and originally released as a self-titled demo tape last year after eight months of intense rehearsal in only 99 copies. Now re-released on a glorious and lavish LP version in the classic Doomentia tradition, this monstrous debut has finally all the means required to crush all the posers. And with songs like the doomier yet as morbid “Ad Mortem Festinamus” or the rock n’roll rumblings of “The Hammer And The Anvil” showcasing another side of their necromantical art and thus proving that Barbarian are more than just a tribute band in disguise, you know that this is just the beginning.
Venom are killing music…
Hellhammer are killing Venom…
Barbarian will kill you all!!

BOMBS OF HADES / USURPRESS - split
7EP
0 CZK / 0 EUR
(SOLD OUT)
gatefold w/golden printing / 500 copies / black vinyl
Having released one of the best Swedeath debut in recent memory under the form of ‘Chamber Of Abomination’, the mighty BOMBS OF HADES aren’t ready to rest on their laurels. So even if those veterans are already gearing up their artillery to record their second full-length (to be unleashed next spring), being the underground dogwarriors that they are, they’ve also put out since then two EPs and one split with the as-vicious TORMENTED in the purest UG tradition. And as if to emphasize that after being relieved from his duties as THE CROWN frontman (and may we remind you former GOD MACABRE and UTUMNO?!) Jonas Stålhammar is more than ever eager to focus on BOH, the band have already two other splits ready in the pipeline.
The first one to be unleashed through DOOMENTIA sees them sharing a piece of wax with fellow old-schoolers USURPRESS and includes two new “intense and straight-forward” tracks as Stålhammar puts it himself, five minutes of Sunlight studio worship delight. While “Until Death (Hanged By The Neck)” written and recorded last April specifically for this EP, “Inside Teradome” is a reworked and updated version of a song written back in 2001 and already recorded for the band’s very first demo the following year.
Although a newcomer of some sort on the scene, USURPRESS kind of follows the same thread on the B side. Formed in Uppsala in 2010 by some old timers who wanted to “combine crust and death-metal with strange guitar figures” and joined few months later by former INSISION, DELLAMORTE and current IRON LAMB four-stringer Daniel Ekeroth, this release is their first ‘official’ one after one very limited demo. Recorded by Lawrence Mackrory from DARKANE and F.K.Ü., those two songs (“The First Of Five” and “Dying For The Dying Gods”) may even be filthier than their one-time roommate. Buried underneath some beautifully detuned and greasy guitars that seemed to have melt all over under the sun like smelly cheese, those nearly six minutes of sonic depravation actually feel like AUTOPSY ‘Mental Funeral’-era trapped in a dark cold cave with MACRODEX.
So there you go: two perfectly matched bands, two proud soldiers both united under the flag of death’ fucking’ metal and another destined-to-greatness split EP by DOOMENTIA. Die!

MASTER - Master
LP
0 CZK / 0 EUR
(SOLD OUT)
Limted to 500 copies only. Housed in luxurious casewrapped gatefold with metallic hot foil stamping.
The campaign to reinstall MASTER at the top of the death-metal foodchain where they always belonged in the first place continues! Hot on the heels of the recent long-awaited re-release of DEATH STRIKE (pre-MASTER) essential ‘Fuckin’ Death’ demo by DARK DESCENT and the band latest masterpiece ‘The Human Machine’ on vinyl by DOOMENTIA, the Czech Republic-based label well known for the quality of its products have decided to tackle another important piece of the puzzle, the band’s ‘doomed’ self-titled album from 1990.
Even though this was the first official full-length recorded by Paul Speckmann - backed up by the soon to be cult line-up of former DEATH STRIKE comrade Chris Mittleburn on guitar and Bill Schmidt on drums – MASTER were already a revered name in the underground. Although very few recordings of theirs existed, as rough sounding as they were, those gems had already achieved legendary status. Distributed through the tapetrading infamous network by guys still in their late teens who would soon prove to be as equally important for the rise of the extreme metal scene such as Shaun Glass (future BROKEN HOPE and SINDROME), Mick Harris (NAPALM DEATH) or Chuck Schuldiner (DEATH), they basically single-handed launched the basis of things to come and for zillions of bands throughout the world to follow.
So when the future German mammoth label NUCLEAR BLAST finally ended up signing the band in 1989, all they had to was to dig back in the great collection of songs which had never been properly recorded. Packed with songs still legendary to this day (“Pay To Die”, “Funeral Bitch” or the instrumental “Terrorizer”) and a storming rendition of BLACK SABBATH’s “Children Of The Grave”, MASTER self-titled album is still, hands down more than two decades (!) after its initial release, one of death-metal ‘desert island’ album. Recorded at Solid Sounds in Illinois but mixed at the already high-profiled Morrisound Studio facility in Tampa Florida by Scott Burns who had already left his stamp on such milestones as NAPALM DEATH (‘Harmony’ Corruption’), DEATH (‘Leprosy’) or DEICIDE (‘Deicide’), it is now available again on vinyl format for the first time in twenty years, with the usual DOOMENTIA high-standard policy. So “strike your idols down/and wear the Master’s crown” goddamn it!

RUINEBELL - Demise In Disgrace
7EP
150 CZK / 7 EUR
Casewrapped ultraheavy gatefold / clear vinyl / limited to 500 copies
Being both hyper-active musicians who just can’t seem to be able to sit on their laurels and have done business with the label before, it seems almost logical that when Lasse Pyykkö (HOODED MENACE, CLAWS, PHLEGETHON, VACANT COFFIN etc.) and Dopi (MACHETAZO, DISHAMMER, DEADMASK etc.) decided to join forces for a whole new project, they’d choose DOOMENTIA to carry it. Expect that although it would have never been far too easy to once again dwell into the murky waters of old-school death-metal (a genre both men have learnt a long ago to fully master to its fullest), those proud soldiers of the underground decided instead to follow a quite unexpected path, born in a time of despair (that would be the 80’s for you) at a time when punk, thrash and crust were just learning about each other. RUINEBELL is the name of this new entity and Dopi gives us the low-down on how it all happened…
"It was Lasse who asked me about joining a new studio project he had in mind months ago. I already knew him from doing some record trading and mail along the years, so I knew something good was about to happen as we share a lot of musical tastes, especially some seminal influences that clearly appear in this couple of tracks he composed. The plan was to unleash some apocalyptic slow and dark crust, with a lot of metallic edges and even some old sinister English punk feeling to it. In all honestly, we had from the start in mind VOIVOD, AXEGRINDER or GODFLESH as soon as we started talking about this recording. And as soon as I listened to the awesome demo versions he sent me, I knew I was able to add exactly what we were talking about. So I recorded some minimalist drums in a very heavy and powerful way and destroyed my throat trying to puke hate on the microphone, like Lemmy or Cronos used to do back in their days of glory! Added to his precise guitar playing and thunderous bass, what we came up with is something we both are really proud of!”
Adorned with amazing artwork by Spanish artist Nor (MACHETAZO, NUNSLAUGHTER etc.), the result is a fantastic debut seven inches titled Demise In Disgrace, featuring two songs "Charcoal Emptiness" and "The Last Morrow Of Apathy” of “apocalyptic crust”. So as AMEBIX once famously said: “arrriiiiiisssse!”
for fans of: AMEBIX, VOIVOD, DEVIATED INSTINCT, GODFLESH, AXEGRINDER

First pressing housed in luxurious casewrapped gatefold jacket. Includes a download card. Limited to 100 units on coloured vinyls.
„MOTOR-DOOM WITH THE STONER-ENGINE ON OVERDRIVE“
Okay, track number two starts off with beautifully dated mellotron waves, so for a brief moment one may almost suspect our doomed brothers from Gothenburg Sweden to have dropped their doom/stoner pants and leave behind the heaviness and sheer LOUDness of their debut released eighteen months ago on DOOMENTIA..... But NO, not only have the mighty Dogs lost none of their earth-shattering grooves and Iommi sponsored riffing wizardry, but as it turns out „Unleash The Truth“ will show all the naysayers that there’s way more to be found underneath those gritty rockers’ sweat than just another Sabbath worshipping band. True, they did record a cover of their heroes for this second full-length, but instead of the obvious choice –“what about an umpteenth version of War Pigs for instance?“ – they went for the lesser known “A National Acrobat” (off Sabbath Bloody Sabbath) whose crossover nature proves quite a template for them to follow. Because even though this new Doomdogs album was recorded on 24 track 2 inche tape in the same analogue-only studio as their self-titled debut and still embraces stoner, metal and sludge – it now adds loans from good ol´ boogie blues stompin‘ rock‘n‘roll as well as retro prog’! The earth-crushing intro of the track “Welcome To The Future” alone will knock your socks off!
So this thirteen tracks and 65+ minutes monster is like a turbocharged version of SPIRITUAL BEGGARS (before they turned into „Mike Amott’s little vanity project“) mixed with KING CRIMSON‘s most pastoral moments and CROWBAR when in full 70’s rock mode. Doesn’t make sense? Believe us, it sure will the moment you hear „Unleash The Truth“ for the first time.
Need some more convincing? what about Victor Griffin then ? PENTAGRAM and PLACE OF SKULLS already immortal six-stringer whose extensive soloing on the aforementioned Sabbath rendition makes it even more perfect to conclude the incredible ride that is „Unleash The Truth“. So get ready... ´cause the mighty Dogs are back.... unleashed and hungry for more!
