!!!WHITE WARD AUCTION!!!
As we are all aware, Ukraine is in crisis and needs all the support we can possibly give them. Now, White Ward is doing their part on their end for sure, as they have decided to put Futility Report and Love Exchange Failure test presses up for auction! These records were made in just a few copies and never got sold! All money from the sales will go to support Ukraine in the fight against Russian military aggression. For Futility Report auction head over here, and for Love Exchange Failure auction head over here!
GOLGOTHAN REMAINS In the mood for some brutal Australian death metal? Feast on a new slab of sonic intensity from California’s Sentient Ruin Laboratories, this time in the shape of Adorned in Ruin, the new album by Golgothan Remains. The album is out on various editions including limited vinyl. Australian customers head here on Brilliant Emperor Records, US customers here, and everyone else, here.
Tzompantli is a death doom project with a forthcoming debut album sounding fit to stomp your bones to dust. Inspired by and dedicated to indiginous people of North, South, East & West of the Americas, Tlazcaltiliztli will be released on May 6th on 20 Buck Spin. You can listen to a preview track here and follow the links to pre-order the album on various formats.
SYK Having put out a great new album of avant-prog metal last month, Italy’s Syk have added a bunch of merch to accompany Pyramiden. Head over to the band’s bandcamp page here for a range of t-shirts, shirts, bundles, pins and the like.
Having to pay gigantic sums for international postage is a real gear grinder. While it’s our default setting to link Bandcamp pages in the case of new and pre-releases, we thought it would be helpful to add some online stores that might provide a useful alternative. So if you see a release you fancy, but it’s being sold in a far off land and you don’t want to fork out on exorbitant shipping, see if any of the links below can remedy the situation.

eOne Heavy (EU) eOne Heavy (UK) eOne Heavy (US)

Season of Mist (EU) Season of Mist (US)
