- BRUTALLY DECEASED _ Chasms (12" LP)
-
-
Chasms is far more than just BRUTALLY DECEASED’s new album. It’s a statement.Despite their adoration of the 90s HM-2 Swedish buzzsaw aesthetic, as perfected by DISMEMBER, ENTOMBED and performed by the band on the debut album Dead Lovers' Guide, these guys never aimed to be a mere OSDM revival. This dedication has led to an increasing incorporation of styles that form the backbone of their musical heritage - technically challenging yet savage US death metal like IMMOLATION, HATE ETERNAL or ANGELCORPSE, and relentless black metal undertones from the ongoing depths of the contemporary darkest underground, the latter one being fully unleashed in the members' sophisticated black metal outfit SOMNIATE.These influences, though latent, were already present even on the infamous Satanic Corpse album, and their escalation on the split album with EMBRIONAL hinted at what was to come. With Chasms, those subterranean currents have surfaced with full force.Building on their good old chainsaw guitar sound platform yet enhancing the production with a more refined approach to make the seething notes actually audible and clear, Chasms sees BRUTALLY DECEASED upping the game in terms of technicality and brutality, without sacrificing the melody and well-thought song structures. Featuring the most intricate guitar patterns of their career, their fourth proper album is a beast of unparalleled ferocity, grasping the listener with a vice-like grip, cutting them with the most vicious, all-cleaving edge - from the punishing opener riff ride Deus Mundi with complex solo work to the final blackened death metal monument, Black Chalice.Recorded last fall at Davos Studio in Vyškov, CZ, where they have laid down tracks for all their past albums, one could say that this 28-minute onslaught is BRUTALLY DECEASED version 2.0. Fresh, uncompromising, challenging and, damn, freaking brutal.

- HIRAX _ Faster than Death (LP/CD/MC)
-
-
Life is short and let’s face it, our time on this rotten planet is limited. So why not make out the best of it and just go full throttle as if there was no tomorrow? This has always been the HIRAX motto for the last forty years. Their indestructible frontman Katon W. De Pena may have celebrated his 61st birthday last September but time has seemingly no grip on him, the man is raging as if it was 1984 all over again.
As a matter of fact, in 2024 HIRAX still dances on the fence bordering thrash, hardcore, punk and crossover while frantically throwing their collective middle finger at whoever begs to differ. In August, they released an explosive four-track, immediately sold-out EP Faster Than Death – and first proper set of new music since 2014’s Immortal Legacy – It is a vicious and to-the-point eight minutes long beast, said to be a taster of things to come and warn listeners to run for cover…
Clocked at 20 minutes and 28 seconds, produced and mixed by cult OZZY OSBOURNE, Y&T, LOUDNESS and MEGADETH- related Max Norman and engineered by longtime collaborator Bill Metoyer (FLOTSAM & JETSAM, SACRED REICH, SLAYER etc.), Faster Than Death aptly deserves its title. Featuring different versions of the songs displayed on the previous EP, eight new originals and one remake of ‘Warlords Command’ from their cult 1985 debut Raging Violence, it destroys – no, wait – obliterates all competition. Forget about all those so-called ‘new’ old-school thrashers or supposedly ‘lost’ bands getting back together for a buck or two. HIRAX is the real deal. And before you complain about how ‘short’ this album is, just try - yeah go on, try you poser - and see if you can sustain the blast. Besides, don’t expect drummer extraordinaire and former EXHUMED Danny Walker or guitar player Neil Metcalf who both played on this recording, to try to slow things down, far from it…

- BLOODLUST _ Suicidal Mission... (12" EP)
-
Some bands don’t age well. Others simply don’t. Yet very few manage to not only survive but retain their original ferocity all the way. One of those rare cases are New Jersey thrashers BLOOD FEAST whose recently released fourth album Infinite Evolution is as manic sounding and earth shattering as their famed 1987 debut Kill For Pleasure.
But before BLOOD FEAST, there was BLOOD LUST. They sported more or less the same logo, attitude and line-up, minus guitar player Michael Badsen who joined in April 1986, a month or so before they decided to switch moniker. This first version lasted barely a year and left behind only one official release, the Suicidal Mission demo. But what a demo it was and DOOMENTIA is once again damn proud to resurrect it from the dead and give the treatment it deserves thirty-eight years later.
Make no mistakes: BLOODFEAST most lethal weapons were already firmly in place, even if those four tracks were recorded as a four-piece. The piercing riff, hysterical vocals – like Steve Souza from EXODUS on crack - by former frontman Gary Markovitch and neck-breaking speed… It’s all there, with a very mid-80s vibe yet of a level rarely if never heard from demo bands back then, despite the solid competition. Soon after Suicidal Mission was completed, they realized another band already bore the name BLOODLUST and was already signed to Metal Blade so they switch for the equally evocative BLOOD FEAST and the rest is history as they say… The fact that two (‘Menacing Thunder’ and ‘Suicidal Mission’) out of those four tracks made it to famous compilations like Speed Metal Hell Vol. III and Thrash Metal Attack speaks volume about their sheer brutality so here’s the chance to taste the glove, thanks to this one-sided (the program being repeated in both side) quality LP reissue by the one and only DOOMENTIA.

- MŮRA _ Needle Cathedral (12" LP/MC)
-
-
MŮRA. The only band of its kind in the Czech music scene. This brooding death/doom metal ensemble got together in Prague in 2020 and immediately scored with all death/doom worshippers. Their successful EP "Doom Invocations and Narcotic Rituals" was released one year later on the American label Caligari Records. MŮRA will impress you with their creeping brand of doom metal, which offers a very wide overlap into old school death metal and true heinous black metal. Although there are some faster parts as well, the band keeps the tempo mostly slow and the music has all the necessary ingredients; varied rhythms, long drawn out gloomy guitar riffs, and subtle licks that contribute unobtrusive but impressive melodies. All this is dominated by morbid vocals reciting dismal lyrics.
You can expect an equally dark musical cocktail on the new recording, "Needle Cathedral," perfected to the last creative and sonic details. The album was recorded at the renowned Golden Hive Recordings Studio in Prague. For the new EP, MŮRA has joined forces with Doomentia Records, long-time home to bands like Disma and Funebrarum, and fans of those aforementioned bands will be likely to enjoy the new album as well. "Needle Cathedral" comes out on limited 12" vinyl with a high quality gatefold cover. The B-side of the vinyl version contains bonus material from the debut demo "Doom Invocations and Narcotic Rituals".
In addition to the vinyl, there will be collectible cassette tapes as well. Both "Needle Cathedral" and "Doom Invocations and Narcotic Rituals" will be issued soon on two separate cassette releases. Doom or be doomed!

- MALAURIU / SINOATH _ 7" split
-
In some cases, split releases do compile together random acts who have little to do with each other. But in some (rare) cases, the end result bears a greater purpose, forging an alliance in darkness if you will. Such is the case here with cult black/doom/progressive Sicilian act SINOATH, sharing this highly collectable piece of wax with fellow countrymen MALAURIU.
Both bands don’t just share Sicilian origins. Besides, compared to SINOATH whose never-ending quest started all the way back to 1990 MALAURIU is a rather ‘new’, if quite productive with already two full-lenght and a whole lot of EP and demos under its belt, act, having being active for ‘only’ ten years. So one could also argue that stylistically speaking, the two are quite different: whereas MALAURIU is more or less acquainted with black-metal, albeit a quite experimental version of it, SINOATH sound is far more old-school oriented, if as everchanging. Yet both acts are all about pushing boundaries and following a very personal path.
Talking of SINOATH, the latter contribution ‘Symphony Of The Scythe’ sees them revisiting in a way their roots, inspired by a vision of death and its role in our everyday life. A one-of-a-kind track dedicated to the late Massimo Chiofalo, who played guitar on their 2015 EP Meanders Of Doom. On the flipside, MALAURIU’ song, ‘Scuru’, is as idiosyncratic, throwing out of the window all known so-called conventions in favour of something unique and utterly ‘out there’. The track also benefits from the presence of Regen Graves from ABYSMAL GRIEF on keyboards, adding the mystique.
Two great and hard-to-pigeonhole acts for one very special split EP, rooted in the classic Italian occult style yet with a different spin, courtesy of yours truly, DOOMENTIA RECORDS.

- DISMA _ EARTHENDIUM (12" MLP)
-
-
Granted, there’s been a bunch of so-called death metal “super-groups” since the dawn of the millennium. A gathering of talented, determined to show the kids how it’s done and what death freakin’ metal truly means. But very few, if none, had the impact DISMA had. Simply put, their debut demo The Vault Of Membros basically erased all competition back in 2009. Not only did this first recording mark the first collaboration in between INCANTATION “cult” front man Craig Pillard and early guitarist Bill Venner. Now joining with members of FUNEBRARUM. But its earth-shattering heaviness and supreme brutality set a new benchmark for downtuned dark doom/death metal.
Fan from day one, DOOMENTIA has been working with the band since 2011 and their first European tour. Besides two split EPs, DOOMENTIA set up new standards with the LP version of their sole album, Towards The Megalith whose diehard edition featured a six panel tri-fold fantastic sleeve with an extra inserted 7 inch.
Since then, instead of putting out an endless stream of easily-forgettable releases, DISMA carefully choose to take their time and release the right songs at the right time. After some line-up adjustments, with now Craig Pillard handling both vocals and guitar duties. Their first new recording in five years, Earthendium showcases a continuous vision with even more effective and lethal firepower. Slightly doomier, yet still as crushing, these three new tracks (including the epic nine minutes long title-track) were recorded at the aptly titled, Neanderthal studios and proves than over eighteen years after their first rehearsal, DISMA remains one of the heaviest and rawest forces in death metal today.
DOOMENTIA once again offered the band to take care of the LP version, determined to stay true to the standards set by Towards The Megalith twelve years prior and to release an easier-to-find version for European customers. Hence this extremely cool-looking one-sided lenticular 3D picture disc version. Ola Larsson’s spectacular dark-fantasy inspired art in all of its glory, displayed in a die-cut sleeve. A fitting monument to one of this years most impressive and dark-as-fuck EP's.
So be quick or be dead as this will be probably sold out in no time, as did all the previous DISMA releases on DOOMENTIA.

- SCHIZOPHRENIA _ Chants of the Abyss (12" EP)
-
To say that Belgium’s SCHIZOPHRENIA took the underground by storm would be an understatement. Ever since their first EP Voices four years ago and the following insanely intense debut album in 2022, those starving youngsters have reinjected a much need sense of urgency and danger in the otherwise now quite mundane territory separating thrash from death metal. By using elements of both and adding their own twist and fury to them, hey’ve become one of the hottest bands around. They may have spent most of 2023 with over 80 shows played all over Europe and be working, as we speak, on their second full-length yet they still did find time to record a very special EP, first released digitally and on self released CD but now available as a lavish, cut at 45 RPM speed to ensure the best sound quality possible LP thanks to DOOMENTIA.
Meant to salute their wide range of influences, Chants Of The Abyss was destined to be a quite large selection of styles. And indeed, by opening the hostilities with a raging SLAYER tune (‘Necrophiliac’), the very first cover they worked on for this tribute, before switching to death metal (MORBID ANGEL’s immortal ‘Maze Of Torment’), classic heavy-metal (JUDAS PRIEST’s ‘Metal Meltdown’) and horror punk (MISFITS’ ‘Bullet’) before paddling back to old-school thrash (EXODUS ‘Strike Of The Beast’) and concluding on a hardcore note (GBH’s ‘Race Against Time’), it goes above and beyond its duty.
We’re not talking here of mere, carbon copy lazy covers but actual performances done with gusto, as if all those songs were theirs and freshly out of the rehearsal room. By paying homage to the godz, SCHIZOPHRENIA solidify their position as their legitimate heirs.- TRANSPARENT RED ltd to 250 copies

- LUDGAR _ Molochian Rites (MC)
-
-
Before you ask, LUDGAR is originally an abbreviated word for Loup de guerre (‘war wolf’), describing what was one of the largest trebuchet, or catapult if you will, used in medieval times. We’re basically talking here about one giant destructive force used to crush opponents and villages alike and it’s quite a fitting analogy for what LUDGAR the band stands for.
Formed in 2024 in a dungeon in Linz, Austria by DEATH RACER and CHAINBREÄKER guitar player (here on bass) S. Bruckner and VENATOR drummer J. Steidl along L. Höller on vocals and S. Bolda on guitar, this new outfit is deeply entrenched in the 80s yet refuses to label their music as “everyone brought on the table their own influences.” One thing was made clear though: the result had to be rough and brutal. And their first demo Molochian Rites is, indeed, rough-as-fuck.
As soon as you’re confronted to such raw deliveries of songs like ‘Under Full Moon’s Light’ or ‘Black Torture’ – preceded by one creepy introduction performed on a church organ! – you know you’re treading on pure METAL, yes in capital letters – territory. Unfiltered, raw, explosive. Parallels will probably be made with early DESASTER, WITCHING HOUR or a blacker version of HELISH CROSSFIRE but the truth is LUDGAR does roar from a deeper and more malevolent pit, or should we say dungeon, where all light is shun.
