  1. LOU BARLOW's magnificent instore!
    Last Friday we had Lou Barlow playing an acoustic solo instore and it was one of the best we've had pleasure of hosting in a long long time! A huge turnout, a humble and humourous performance, and of course a shitload of amazing songs! I loved it.
  2. Wolves In The Throne Room live!
    These black metal hippies blew my head off at their amazing show at the Hi-Fi! A great atmospheric presentation, a thick rich sound and hit after epic hit of their doomy black metal! Anyone who missed out get the live cd/dvd!
  3. UNSANE - Scattered, Smothered, Covered And Live 2cd
    A well overdue reissue of one of THE GREATEST albums ever! Menacing intense noise-rock aggression from NY's bruisers! Mix Helmet, Melvins, Swans and Black Flag and you'd get something like this, but probably not as good! With a SCATHING live CD to boot
  4. BURZUM - Belus CD
    Wow... didn't expect the comeback album to be THIS GOOD! The first album in 11 years from black metal's most infamous villain, and the first with guitar since '96. This definitely holds its own against his amazing earlier works... epic, evil, majestic
  5. ROT IN HELL - Hallways Of The Always LP/CD
    Continually blowing my balls off!!!! SAVAGE SAVAGE SAVAGE hardcore! The most spiteful and rough sounding stuff i've heard for ages. Buy this or blow your brains out you useless shit!
  6. SIXX - Sister Devil Demo '91 CD/LP
    Whoahh!! Who the hell kept this such a secret for so long? A KILLER demo that came out in '91 on 100 cassette copies of Von members doing excellent downbeat mournful early Christian Death style goth rock. LP's back in soon!
  7. DISMA - The Vault Of Membros demo tape
    In stock now... the awesome demo by one of the best new death metal bands around! Heavy as fuck old school Finnish style darkness, from members of Funebrarum, Incantation, Citizen's Arrest, Evoken, Goreaphobia etc. AWESOME!!!
  8. RINGWORM - The Promise LP reissue
    Yess! Great to finally get my hands on this essential slab of unholy metalcore on vinyl with the original artwork! We've got lots of copies here at the shop so if you like things EVIL AS FUCK come grab one!
  9. HATRED SURGE - Deconstruct LP
    These things went real fast but they'll be back in pretty soon... fucking blistering grind/powerviolence from Texas. Expanded from the 1 man origins to a 4 piece on this recording, but it's still Hatred Surge through and through. Punishing shit!
  10. ABRAXIS - S/T CD
    A surprisingly spot-on Integrity rip with sick Human Furnace style vocals from this new project from Qld with Andy ex-Against doing everything but drums! Heavy, dark, evil and a killer addition to the new Holy Terror breed!

  8. Replacements "Let It Be"
    What a corker of a friggin' album.
