London three-piece Urne have spent the last few years whipping up a firestorm of grit, swagger and grandiosity. Snarling hardcore, extreme inflections, and a strong sense of heavy metal's inherent classicism, all burn together within Urne's burial chamber and propel the band forward. Like the best metal albums, Setting Fire to the Sky is about the culture itself. Produced by SikTh co-vocalist Justin Hill, and featuring guest appearances from Troy Sanders (Mastodon) and Jo Quail Setting, Fire to the Sky has a freshness and bite that will tear through the uniform and often flat-sounding metal scene; their incandescent form of modern metal promises to become a supernova.

Released in 1980 by Logo Records, Vardis' debut album, 100 M.P.H., is now considered one of the milestones of the immortal NWOBHM. However, Vardis' roots go back to 1977, when they formed in Wakefield under their original name, Quo Vadis. Now a collector's item, the trio released their first 7" EP, 100 M.P.H., on Redball Records in 1979. In addition to the raw, almost punk-like original versions of "100 M.P.H.," "Blue Rock," "Destiny," and "The World's Insane," 100 M.P.H. '79 Revisited compiles five other early recordings by Vardis. The audio was restored and mastered by Patrick W. Engel at his Temple Of Disharmony in September 2025. The CD version of includes exclusive versions of "Blue Rock," "Dirty Money," and "The World's Insane," recorded at Ohm Studios in July 1978.

In any serious conversation about death metal, Vomitory’s name is a must-mention. Formed in 1989, the Swedish band unleashed eight blistering albums between 1996 and 2011, cementing their status as genre titans before parting ways in 2013. However, their retirement was short-lived, as they returned to the stage in 2019 to mark their 30th anniversary. Now, three years after the release of their critically acclaimed comeback album All Heads Are Gonna Roll in 2023, Vomitory are back with their latest beast, In Death Throes.

Complete remastered editions of the two studio albums from the short-lived hard rock outfit Wild Horses. Plus 2025 remixes and a treasure trove of rarities, including singles, B-sides, live tracks, remixes and demos. Wild Horses originally formed in 1978, when guitarist Brian Robertson left Thin Lizzy after the legendary 'Live And Dangerous' record, and bassist Jimmy Bain left Rainbow following the double live 'On Stage' album, joining forces to create this melodic, hard rock supergroup. Originally featuring drummer Kenney Jones (Faces, The Who) and guitarist Jimmy McCulloch (Wings, Stone The Crows), the line-up stabilised when Robertson and Bain were joined by drummer Clive Edwards (Uli Jon Roth, UFO, Pat Travers) and multi-instrumentalist Neil Carter (UFO, Gary Moore).

Black metal storytellers WINTERFYLLETH make a stand with The Unyielding Season, coming March 27, 2026 via Napalm Records. The British band’s ninth album is social commentary wrapped in meticulously crafted poetry. Where the preceding album, The Imperious Horizon (2024), described an evil lurking in the distance, The Unyielding Season now explores said threat becoming reality. The raging wildfire to its predecessor’s calculating cold, WINTERFYLLETH’s debut with their new record label is a reflection and rebellion amidst conflicts tearing at individuals, a cry against the unsustainable, from the unresting—the unyielding.

The most dangerous band in the west... That's how they were known.Witch, the inflammatory '80s metal band from Southern California, proudly announces "The Hex Is On... And Then Some", a definitive compilation album. This exhaustive collection captures every studio recording from their tumultuous 1984-1989 run, alongside forgotten 1996 studio sessions under the GOD BOX moniker, produced by Howard Leese (HEART).Formed in 1983, Witch emerged from the remnants of AMPAGE. Their sold-out debut unleashed a spectacle of blood, fire, and fishnets, with the self-inflicted wounds and pyro stunts conducted by drummer and mayhem overlord, Punky Peru. From Troubadour to Radio City, Witch's performances were a whirlwind of chaos. Despite sharing stages with SLAYER, LOUDNESS, KEEL, and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, internal strife and an excess of rock 'n' roll lifestyle kept major label deals just out of reach.As Punky Peru states: - "We wanted something heavy yet theatrical... We were trying to take part of our influences from ALICE COPPER and SWEET and mix it together with MOTORHEAD and DIO. The outcome was Witch.""The Hex Is On... And Then Some" compiles the complete studio catalog from 1984 to 1989, including the iconic 1984 EP "The Hex Is On", the rare 1987 12" EP "Nobody Sleeps" and a collection of rare demos from 1988 and 1989. The GOD BOX era recordings, made in 1996, will also be included on a bonus CD (available on the 2CD edition only).This deluxe edition will include remastered audio for a better listening experience, an extensive biography filled with controversial stories, rare band photos and clippings, and song lyrics.

On their third full-length, "Through the Hourglass", Witch Ripper unleash the full potential of their stunning ability to deliver captivating melodies, catchy riffs, and merciless hooks in sheer droves. The US metal band perfectly combines melodic heaviness with pinches of progressive, sludge, and other styles with seeming ease. Witch Ripper can be generally located within the wider sonic realm that is inhabited by MASTODON, BARONESS, and HIGH ON FIRE, yet they also continue to channel the rock bombast of QUEEN and DAVID BOWIE as well as the modern prog of COHEED AND CAMBRIA and MUSE. Witch Ripper are also determined to tour across the United States and hope for a first voyage to Europe in support of "Through the Hourglass". Metal is anything but dead, and this album is living proof of it's vibrant present.

The eagerly awaited return of WORM SHEPHERD, back after a two year hiatus and member shift. With new singer Ian and the addition of members of Ingested (Thomas O'Malley), Immortal Disfigurement (Harry Tadayon) and Psycho Frame (Leo McLain), DAWN OF THE ICONOCLAST is a masterclass in Blackened Deathcore. The band comment: "I’m very excited about the new lineup. I feel like we have the most talented members that we’ve had to date. Harry (Ex Immortal Disfigurement) brings so much to the table for writing and meshes with my style so well. Tom (Ingested) is an absolute workforce on the bass and really adds some flare to the rhythm guitars with his aggressive style and tones. I’m also very excited that Leo (McClain - Original drummer) is back in the band and having him back behind the kit for the Worm Shepherd sound gives some of that original tone from our first albums together. Us having this new sort of style that we’re doing, Ian (Archaic Epidemic) fits in perfectly with his aggressiveness and tonality of our new music and I can’t wait to see what people think. This is the beginning of a new era for Worm Shepherd." - Tre Perdue (Guitars)

Bay Area thrash unit Xzanthus formed during the late-'80s in the San Jose, CA region- eventually settling on a lineup of Steev Esquivel (vocals), Henry Moreno (drums), Pat Nelson (bass), and guitarists Eric Beard and Michael Terry. Early talks with Roadrunner Records fell apart when Esquivel opted to relocate to Oakland and join fellow heavy-hitters DEFIANCE. His replacement, Dave Vest, was then eventually supplanted by David Sandoval, the group's third and final frontman.Right off the bat, the band developed a hard-charging, no nonsense brand of thrash metal that countered it's gnashing aggression with an undercurrent of traditional heavy metal structure and melodicism. The first two sessions with Esquivel tended toward a rawer, down-and-dirty attack; whereas later outings with Vest and Sandoval developed tighter musicianship and slightly more dramatic singing styles.Xzanthus tracked a whopping four demos between 1988 and 1991; performing countless shows alongside area friends Forbidden, Epidemic, Wrekking Machine, Fatality & Marquis de Sade; not to mention other established greats such as VIO-LENCE, SACRED REICH, D.R.I. & BODY COUNT. Despite this exposure as well as an obvious progression in the quality of their recorded output, the group ultimately fizzled away without securing the opportunity for a proper LP- their material largely lost to time as a somewhat mysterious unsung gem of the Bay Area thrash scene. Much of the information regarding Xzanthus online is incomplete or inaccurate, and even the band members have trouble piecing together the timeline almost 35 years later.That's why Divebomb Records is thrilled to present World of Misery: The Demo Anthology, a 15-song, 62-minute complete discography of Xzanthus. Sourced from the original analog multi-track reels as often as possible, the transfers have been mixed and mastered by Jamie King Audio in order to preserve these rather elusive examples of this corner of classic Bay Area thrash. The CD will be packaged alongside a 12-page booklet including original artwork, photos, lyrics, and an interview with guitarist Eric Beard. For the fans, by the fans!

The daemonic avatar Yoth Iria was first explicitly summoned on Rotting Christ's legendary debut Thy Mighty Contract in 1993. Bassist/lyricist Jim Mutilator formed that band as Black Church in 1984, before also becoming a founder member of cult Athenian BM heroes Varathron for their first five years. Renewing the otherworldly atmospheres and occult ravishment for a new era, Yoth Iria functions almost as the third panel in an apocalyptic triptych of Hellenic black metal excellence.There's a thrilling balance of ancient and modern, good and evil, harmony and dissonance, advancing Yoth Iria as a hungry contender for extreme metal's big leagues - an ever-improving unit with a glorious future. Appropriately, however, Gone With The Devil is best summed up with a line already coined by the band to describe their ongoing body of work: "Every note tells a story of rebirth, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of musical transcendence."

2CD Digisleeve with red hoit foil print on the sleeve. ZAKK SABBATH are back with an even more massive dose of pure BLACK SABBATH worship! Celebrating more than 50 years of Birmingham's most famous four, the 'inventors' of heavy metal are being honoured by the preeminent tribute trio led by guitarist and singer Zakk Wylde with the double album "Doomed Forever Forever Doomed". This loving tribute contains the Americans' brilliant take on BLACK SABBATH's second and third full-lengths, the classic heavy metal masterpieces "Paranoid" (1970) and "Master of Reality" (1971). ZAKK SABBATH were founded by BLACK LABEL SOCIETY guitarist and singer Zakk Wylde, who is widely renowned for his many years as lead guitarist for OZZY OSBOURNE and now PANTERA. After initially only performing live with rotating members, ZAKK SABBATH solidified a stable cast with the addition of OZZY OSBOURNE and ROB ZOMBIE bass player Blasko and Joey Castillo on drums (also of DANZIG and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE). Inspired by the 50th anniversary of BLACK SABBATH's self-titled debut full-length, ZAKK SABBATH released a tribute to this monumental heavy metal milestone under the title "Vertigo" in 2020. The album was heaped with praise from critics and fans alike. The trio scored a massive global success as witnessed by impressive Billboard chart entries such as #5 on the US Hard Music chart, #7 on the Current Rock Albums chart and #27 on the Billboard Top Albums chart alongside #1 in Metal Albums in France and #3 on the German Album chart, as well as #9 on the UK Top 40 Rock/Metal chart among others. Pure passion for classic metal has driven ZAKK SABBATH to erect an even more monolithic monument to BLACK SABBATH than before with the double album "Doomed Forever Forever Doomed". Time to bang heads again to these beautifully revisited songs that easily rank among the most influential and consequential ever composed by humans!

Zepter are a new, up-and-coming heavy metal band from Austria, formed in 2024. Shortly afterwards, their first EP, Inferno, was released on cassette in a limited edition of 100 copies via Ironbound (followed by a vinyl edition from Fucking Kill Records and a CD edition from Witches Brew). Zepter's debut album, released on High Roller Records, offers authentic old-school heavy metal with catchy hooks and tasteful twin harmony parts. The album sounds like an earthy cocktail of Thin Lizzy and UFO from the Schenker era with elements of early speed metal à la Acid and Slayer, if they had existed in 1978 - with influences from Saxon, Witchfinder General, Dark Star, Raven, Saracen, Angel Witch, and Satan.
