Packed with razor-sharp riffs, speed, Rock’n’Roll attitude and wild nocturnal energy, the release combines melody, dirt and power with irresistible authenticity, sounding like a hellish motorcycle tearing through a city drenched in neon lights and smoke. Recommended for fans of MOTÖRHEAD, CHASTAIN, SCORPIONS and RIOT CITY.
Debut album from 2019 by the American TANITH, a brilliant work of classic Heavy Rock and Heavy Metal that revives the golden spirit of the 70s with a fully vintage sensibility. “In Another Time” combines warm riffs, evocative melodies and an organic, atmospheric approach deeply influenced by bands like BLUE ÖYSTER CULT and URIAH HEEP, yet with a strong and distinctive identity and a surprisingly fresh execution within its retro aesthetic. An elegant, nostalgic and richly layered record where the band crafts a sonic journey between the mystical and the melodic without losing strength or personality. Recommended for fans of BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, WISHBONE ASH, RAINBOW and WYTCH HAZEL.
2nd album from 2005 by the American THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, a devastating work of Melodic Death Metal and Deathcore packed with extreme speed, razor-sharp riffs and absolutely unhinged aggression. “Miasma” perfects the formula introduced on the debut by pushing the band’s sound into darker, more technical and more brutal territory, combining Swedish-inspired melodies with savage blast beats, frantic tempo changes and Trevor Strnad’s furious vocal performance. A fierce, intense and hugely influential record that helped establish THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER as one of the key bands of modern American extreme Metal. Recommended for fans of AT THE GATES, CARNIFEX, DARKEST HOUR and CARNAL FORGE.
Debut album from 1989 by the American TITAN FORCE, an outstanding work of US Power Metal and Progressive Heavy Metal packed with technical brilliance, epic atmospheres and huge melodies. Fronted by the incredible voice of Harry Conklin from JAG PANZER, TITAN FORCE combines razor-sharp riffs, complex song structures and a majestic, futuristic atmosphere that turned it into a true cult gem of the most sophisticated and ambitious side of American Metal.

3rd album from 1993 by the American TYPE O NEGATIVE, an iconic and atmospheric work of Gothic Metal and Doom Metal that marked a turning point in the extreme scene of the 90s. “Bloody Kisses” combines dense, heavy riffs with hypnotic melodies, immersive keyboards and Peter Steele’s unmistakable voice, creating a unique blend of darkness, sensuality and melancholy. Featuring standout tracks such as “Black No. 1” and “Christian Woman,” the album manages to balance accessibility and darkness without losing its underground identity. A fundamental, elegant and deeply influential record within Gothic/Doom Metal. Recommended for fans of CANDLEMASS, PARADISE LOST, MY DYING BRIDE and SISTERS OF MERCY.
Debut album from 2017 by the British VENOM INC., a band formed by former classic members of VENOM associated with the late 80s and early 90s era. A fierce blast of Speed Metal, Thrash Metal and Blackened Heavy Metal that revives the rawest, most primitive and streetwise essence of VENOM’s legacy.
“Avé” brings together this historic lineup, delivering dirty riffs, direct rhythms and a blasphemous, combative attitude that connects straight back to the spirit of old-school extreme Metal, while featuring a more modern production and a slightly more developed approach.
The album sounds raw, aggressive and uncompromising, functioning as a spiritual continuation of VENOM’s classic chaos rather than a simple tribute. Recommended for fans of VENOM, MANTAR, DESASTER and NIFELHEIM.
9th album from 2025 by the American WHITECHAPEL, a devastating work of modern Deathcore packed with crushing riffs, violent grooves and absolutely relentless aggression. “Hymns In Dissonance” marks the band’s return to their most brutal and direct side, stepping away from the more melodic and atmospheric approach of previous releases to once again embrace rawness, weight and sonic violence.
The album develops a concept centered on a religious sect and its twisted vision of divinity, building a dark and oppressive universe where musical dissonance reflects spiritual corruption and fanatic obsession. Dense riffs, devastating drums and Phil Bozeman’s completely unhinged vocal performance make this a highly impactful release.
A fierce, uncompromising record designed to crush without pause, reaffirming WHITECHAPEL as one of the strongest forces in contemporary Deathcore. Recommended for fans of LORNA SHORE, SUICIDE SILENCE, CARNIFEX and THY ART IS MURDER. [Digipack]

2nd album from 2012 by the Swedish ZOMBIFIED, a rotten and crushing blast of Old School Death Metal deeply rooted in the classic early 90s Scandinavian sound. “Carnage Slaughter And Death” overflows with cavernous riffs, crushing grooves and a putrid, violent atmosphere that pays absolute tribute to the filthiest and most murderous side of the Swedish old school.
