Silencer's merciless emotional firestorm "Death - Pierce Me" is one of the few albums truly deserving the designation 'cult' as it climbed from humble beginnings of basically circulating only across the extreme underground to a widely acclaimed masterpiece with a massive following. In celebration of the album's 20th anniversary, Lupus Lounge will reissue this musical milestone in lavish editions that finally do justice to this pioneering depressive metal masterpiece. When Silencer released their one and only album "Death - Pierce Me", they had chosen the same title as their 1998 demo. In hindsight, it seems that the time was ripe for an emotionally challenging type of black metal that incorporated elements from doom and basically aimed for expressing the most bleak emotions of bereavement, loneliness, and utter despair. It is only logical that this subgenre of a subgenre became dubbed 'depressive black metal' - or gets sometimes even branded somewhat excessively as 'depressive suicidal black metal'. Around 1998 this new scene began to coalesce around two Swedish bands, Silencer and SHINING as well as the Quebecois MALVERY and US band XASTHUR, among others. The general template of this rising dark sound had been moulded earlier by such bands as Norwegians STRID and to some extent BETHLEHEM from Germany. Silencer even more than their peers, also quite openly demonstrate a massive influence of BURZUM as particularly the vocals could have been lifted straight from the Norwegians' earlier iconic "Hvis lyset tar oss" release. Yet, while SHINING steadily rose to notorious fame on their course of self-destruction and flirting with death and mental breakdowns, Silencer at first seemed to vanish into obscurity and all that remained were obscure rumours and legends. Only one interview in a German magazine had ever been consigned to history, no live shows were ever performed, nor has there been any sign of another album. Purely by word of mouth, the merits of "Death - Pierce Me" as an influential pioneering work have spread, resulting in continued steady sales that received an IMPALA Silver Award for the verified sales of 20,000 copies across Europe (excluding US and other territories' sales) in 2021.

Brutal Planet Records delivers Bringer of Blood back from the underground, resurrecting one of Six Feet Under's most savage chapters with it's first-ever U.S. vinyl release. Originally unleashed in 2003 and recorded at Morrisound Studios, this album captures the band at peak ferocity-thick, pulsing riffs, grisly atmosphere, and Chris Barnes' unmistakable guttural roar carving through each track like a bone saw.From the blunt-force violence of "Amerika the Brutal" to the slow, suffocating crawl of the title track, Bringer of Blood drags listeners deep into the horror-laced world that defined Six Feet Under's early reign. Long out of print and previously pressed only in Germany, this Brutal Planet Records edition finally does the album justice, pressed on Blood Red Vinyl, newly remastered, and limited to 500 copies. For fans of: Six Feet Under (Haunted, Warpath), Obituary, Jungle Rot, Bolt Thrower.

American death metal pioneers SIX FEET UNDER will unleash their Next To Die full-length on April 24th through Metal Blade Records.Next To Die marks a new creative high for SIX FEET UNDER, its dozen songs marking the band's fifteenth album since 1995's Haunted. "It started out as an album full of death metal songs with speed and aggression," says guitarist Jack Owen. "Then [vocalist] Chris [Barnes] had the brilliant idea to keep half of those death metal songs and add some groovier songs in the vein of the early SIX FEET UNDER material. Chris emphasized tempo, so keeping with the beats per minute for early SFU classics, I wrote a side of tasty groove-laden music with Chris doing all the lyrics."The creative collaborative approach sees Next To Die essentially broken down into two different sides - Death and Groove - resulting in an aural masterwork that satisfies SIX FEET UNDER as artists, while also offering something for every fan.The record was produced by Owen and Barnes and mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis of MRL Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and follows 2024's Killing For Revenge. It's the third record that Barnes and Owen have created together since reuniting in 2017. "We don't discuss lyrical themes, we each write what we're feeling," explains Barnes. "We each just write what we find interesting."SIX FEET UNDER was initially formed as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, Cannibal Corpse. It became the frontman's sole focus in 1995, coinciding with the release of their debut, Haunted. The current lineup of Barnes, Owen, lead guitarist Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella make for a devastating unit.That sonic devastation shines on lead single, "Unmistakable Smell Of Death," which sees Owen owning his blast and fast riffs with dynamic pull-offs and stop sections. "This song began musically before I had any lyrical ideas in mind," says Owen. "I dug through my riff archive for some blast and fast riffs and updated them with some pull-offs and stop sections. The middle section riffs were also from my riff archive. I do scratch leads on my demos, but Ray always does a much better job with the leads."Lyrically, I'm writing from the perspective of a killer who toys with a victim and unties them, allowing them to fight. He underestimates their ability to fight, and they get the better of the killer, ultimately impaling and beheading him. The 'Unmistakable Smell Of Death' is now that of the killer!"

Brutal Planet Records drags Unburied from obscurity with the first fully distributed vinyl edition, pressed on Opaque Turquoise Vinyl. These nine unreleased tracks-grim outtakes from the Undead, Unborn, and Torment sessions-capture Six Feet Under in their most visceral and unrefined state. As Chris Barnes noted: "I always felt like these tracks were excellent Six Feet Under material. Real raw and in their earliest form."The only previous vinyl pressing appeared briefly in Italy as a magazine kiosk bonus. It sold out instantly, was never placed into retail distribution, and is now almost impossible to locate. This Brutal Planet Records edition finally gives Unburied a proper physical home with upgraded sound mastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell, a traditional jacket, and a 12x12 lyric insert.

“It’s the record where Slayer became Slayer.” That’s what Kerry King says about Hell Awaits. And he knows of what he speaks. As the band’s guitarist, co-songwriter and co-lyricist, he was in the trenches with vocalist/bassist Tom Araya, guitarist Jeff Hanneman (R.I.P.) and drummer Dave Lombardo, creating what has become one of heavy metal’s greatest albums. A significant departure from Slayer’s 1983 debut, Show No Mercy—and every Slayer album that came after it—Hell Awaits is both an outlier and a solidification of form. Show No Mercy was the mission statement, but Hell Awaits is a more developed and intricate execution of Slayer’s speed, chops, and aggression. Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, Hell Awaits is the second studio album by American thrash metal masters, Slayer. The crucial album was initially released on April 8th 1985, by Metal Blade Records, who, in honor of Hell Awaits's 40th anniversary, will be unleashing unique physical releases, along with a digital release for fans.

More than half a century into its life, what exactly is heavy metal? Is it a kind of belief system? Is it something to be observed as a museum piece, or an exhibit in a museum? Or is it, to paraphrase Christopher Lee’s Due de Richeleau in The Devil Rides Out “A living force, which can strike at any moment of the night”? Needless to say, SPELL, Vancouver’s next-level metal magicians, have plenty of thoughts on the matter. And as far as they’re concerned, heavy metal is something that needs to evolve to stay vibrant and exciting. This has been the fuel for their fifth album, the brashly confident Wretched Heart. What’s more, this relentless evolutionary momentum has led to them creating their strongest record to date - a thunderous celebration of individualism and eccentricity which stalks its nocturnal realm with savage finesse and beguiling charm.

The journey of Spirit Adrift has come full circle. With their sixth album in a decade, mastermind Nathan Garrett is ready to unleash the band's final chapter. Infinite Illumination, the Spirit Adrift swansong, is a return to the wellspring that first inspired it all and testament to a band that in the last ten years has crafted an impeccable signature thoroughly their own, molded from the elemental matter of more than a half century of heavy metal exaltation. Infinite Illumination has a directness to it, a sense of urgency and raw intensity. The songs feel inevitable, like they had to be driven out from deep within during a time of great upheaval. The fatalistic "Born in a Bad Way" summons a vengeful "broken relic from another age" that must "live again and make them pay" via Garrett's swaggering snarl, while "White Death" impugns "God shined on a chosen few, we must kill the rest of you". These songs have a palpable sense of malaise both spiritual and terrestrial, personal and universal, inflicted via crushing traditional doom riffs, thunderous mid-tempo marches and Garrett's impassioned vocal delivery. Long after the band is gone fans will continue to discover the Spirit Adrift catalog and witness the breadth of greatness they delivered in just a decade's time. Every melodic, epic and emotionally charged thread that defines the band's legacy honors the animating force behind pure creative ambition. And at it's core Infinite Illumination carries both the weight of conclusion and the troubling realization that it is rarely painless to say farewell.

Stainless started out in Portland, Oregon, in 2022. All of the band members had previously been active in other local groups, such as Black Breath, Long Knife, Nightfell, and Ripper. After their 7", "Snakebite/Too Hot To Steal," High Roller Records released the mini-album, Nocturnal Racer, in 2024. Their new album, Lady Of Lust & Steel, delivers eight brand new songs that cover a considerable stylistic range, and Larissa Cavacece's raw voice, somewhere between Leather Leone and Wendy O. Williams, is once again Stainless's greatest trademarks.

Across 15 striking tracks, the band pair vivid imagery with sharp creative instincts, pushing the genre forward with their most compelling work to date.

With a title like Cannibal, it's no surprise that this 2007 album presents Static X at it's most, er, bloodthirsty. Lead singer Wayne Static put it plainly: "I think it's the most metal record we've ever made, and it's arguably the heaviest record we've ever made." Cannibal is the first Static X record to have numerous guitar solos, which herald the return of founding guitarist Koichi Fukuda; and the change in producers (from Ulrich Wild to John Travis) no doubt played a role in the band's shift back to the more intense sound they premiered with Wisconsin Death Trip. The record went Top 40, and "No Submission" wound up on the Saw 3 soundtrack. In short, a return to form after the chaotic personnel and stylistic changes of Start a War. Cannibal is here given it's first-ever vinyl reissue with a bonus track ("Light It Up"). Blood and bronze splatter pressing inside a gatefold jacket!

For nearly 30 years, SUNN O))) - Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson - have pushed the boundaries of heavy music, straddling the worlds of the avant-garde and rock to forge a style instantly recognisable as their own. Now, SUNN O))) return with their first album of new material since 2019's acclaimed Pyroclasts. Their tenth album - their debut for Sub Pop - demonstrates the duo's mastery of time and space, light and dark, and their willingness to evolve their unmistakable sound into bold new forms.The eponymously titled SUNN O))) was tracked at Bear Creek Studios, Woodinville, Washington with Brad Wood (HuM, Tar, Sunny Day Real Estate, Liz Phair). This location proved crucial to the recording process. "The vast tracking room had big windows looking out on trees," says O'Malley. "We could go hiking and be out in the woods, spend time outdoors. That became a big part of it." SUNN O))) have long welcomed collaborators into their self-contained world: past work has featured, Attila Csihar (Mayhem), composer Hildur Gudnadóttir, multi-instrumentalist Steve Moore, polymath Mark Deutrom, Silkworm's Tim Midyett and legendary singer-songwriter Scott Walker. But on this album O'Malley and Anderson found fresh possibilities in the primal territory of the duo format, performing all the instrumentation themselves. "What's been happening with our performances over the last couple years with the two of us and no other collaborators has been really fresh and exciting," says Anderson. The compositions on SUNN O))) are expansive and panoramic yet finely detailed, reflecting the arboreal setting in which they were recorded. Amidst howling feedback and glacial crunch, one finds surprisingly delicate moments: a field recording of water trickles beneath, piano interludes lend a hushed, solemn feel. All while the duo attains fresh heights of telepathic intensity as they shape music that breathes the bracing, earthy air of the Pacific Northwest.Framing the album visually are two paintings by the late American artist Mark Rothko. Liner notes are by award-winning British writer Robert Macfarlane, famed for his works concerning landscape and the relationship between humanity and nature. Through the work of the band, Macfarlane, and Rothko, sound, word and visual combine into a fully immersive experience that is undeniably, completely SUNN O))).

Following a decade-plus run as one of Australia’s most influential heavy bands, marked by ARIA chart-topping albums, platinum certifications, and global touring off landmark releases like Let The Ocean Take Me and This Could Be Heartbreak, the new album turns inward with unflinching honesty. Largely written about frontman Joel Birch’s relationship with his late mother, the record explores grief, trauma, faith, and self-reckoning through a series of deeply connected songs. “I’ll Break These Chains” confronts the confusion surrounding her death, “Afterlife” questions belief beyond this life, while the closing track “Eternal War” captures the ongoing internal struggle and the hope for change that never came. Musically massive and emotionally raw, this album stands as The Amity Affliction at their most vulnerable, cathartic, and fully realized.

Double vinyl LP pressing. The long lost Valdrin album, now finally sees the light in a proper edition for the very first time. By now the name Valdrin is known to many ears. The melodic black metal band from Ohio has been constantly rising in the underground for over a decade now, gathering acclaim across the board thanks to it's unique narrative approach, singing the deeds of Valdrin Ausadjur. Still, it is not known to many that the first Valdrin studio album, the first chapter in the Valdrin Ausadjur saga, is somewhat of a lost record. Originally crafted between 2011 and 2012, Beyond The Forest only saw the light through two small runs of CDs in 2013 and 2014, and has been unavailable since. Until now. The renewed collaboration between Valdrin and Avantgarde Music brings forth the first proper edition of Beyond The Forest. UPC: 301660566661Label: Avantgarde MusicRelease Date: 5.8.26Format: Vinyl
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.
