Boundaries ignores trends, fades, and has no interest in being the flavor of the month. Instead, the band delivers a full scale sensory onslaught entirely on their own terms. With this record, Boundaries set out to be uncompromising and plant their flag with intent. Across 14 tracks, the album never lets up pairing punishing instrumentation with unrelenting lyricism. It also features “Skies cast amber black,” which landed early support from Revolver, Knotfest, and several other publications right out of the gate.

Just as you were getting your head straight coming off the 21st Trip... Brown Acid dose # 22 drops, continuing to fry your mind in a revolving trap-door Twilight Zone alternate world of early hard rock... populated by real life characters so far out they can look like a cheesy wedding band but sound like Blue Cheer! Uncanny! This music comes at you from many angles. Teens in a garage colliding with booze, drugs and girls for the first time, lounge lizard hustlers with snazzy stage clothes and fuzz boxes... gnarly backwoods troublemakers meet blow dried glam rock wannabes here, seamlessly clobbering your head with sound rather than each other! An electric post-psychedelic bar brawl for your mind awaits, unfasten your seat belt, crank it up and fly! Sounds Synonymous "Babylon" out of Flint, Michigan 1969 rip the devastating Blue Cheer classic a new one, immediately swarming you with organ swells and distortion before collapsing into a tuff funk groove, a psychedelic James Brown vibe shot through with dirty howling fuzz guitar, vocals nailing the messed up but confident relaxed sneering attitude of the original Cheer eruption. The Bumps "Shining" from Seattle 1969 resides right at the transition of '60s psych into early prog, well constructed, no diluting things artsy fartsy style, a compelling heavy riff, spacious vocal harmony hook floating above a turbulent take on getting your shit together and shining like a star. Fat chance, but you can dream, the band did and their dreams kick ass across time to right now or you wouldn't be here. Coulda been a hit back then, definitely a hit now. Riverside "Farmer" explodes out of Austin, Texas 1974, economical but brilliantly structured riffs and power chords, intense dynamic tension/release, fantastic screaming leads over shifting angles of attack during the middle break... it's all here with a detached confidence in the vocal that swaggers back in time to the late '60s in it's proto-heavy psych adjacent assault. Cincinnati Joe & Mad Lydia "Get It Together" for real in Cincinnati, Ohio 1970. The song says everything you need to know: "You may think that you're the very best, miles and miles ahead of the rest, but be sure when you're put to the test you get it together!" These words are deployed in a manner similar to Peter Green's "Oh Well", intermittently stated between killer gnarly guitar and gushy organ attacks. Bar band heaven and hell rolled up into one big ball, the vocals get all the way out there! Straight Up "Fire" takes the monster 1968 Crazy World Of Arthur Brown hit into faithfully executed but surreally minimalist territory, Minneapolis, Minnesota 1974. Genius version of a key song that presciently cuts to the chase regarding Brown Acid's incinerations of psychedelic idealism, you're gonna burn, burn, burn... as that moment climaxes you can gawk at their preposterous flashy lounge band stage outfits and realize side one must end because everything is totally scorched into eternity. Scrap Iron "Poopsie" is a primitive two chord stomper with spiraling fuzz and organ riffs, singer marking his territory caveman style. "Poopsie, you're my woman" he commands, but gets weirdly insecure she'll blow him off at the altar by the end of each verse. Snarly wah-wah ices this toxic cake out of Carteret, New Jersey 1973. Focused delivery so single-mindedly crude it creates an inescapable instant brain-worm. Lady "Live Show Tigers" is amongst the most potently life affirming trash rockers you'll ever hear, one outrageously triumphant but fiercely sloppy anthem about living it up like a star, strutting the stage glammed up New York Dolls drag style but with a Dictators sense of humor. Tasty slightly off kilter guitar leads all through, going serendipitously berserk on the fade. Picture disc single out of L.A. 1980. Fantastic fun rock star rock at a very raw local street level where any time is party time. Killer Frog "Hard Times" on Masochist Records from Chicago, Illinois 1972 takes less than two minutes, an action packed James Gang style bar band rocker with a bit of punky sneer in the face of misfortune. These guys never even heard of flower power. They are killer frogs. Good Humore "Killer" does kill in stripped down hard rock trio style, Warren, Michigan 1976. No frills guitar, bass and drums groove tight, snaky primordial riff, snarly licks. "She's a killer of a woman, knows just what she's doing..." The singer knows she's a femme-fatale roadhouse predator but she's so hot the inevitable wreckage seems a bargain. Ride it out like the extended jam on the fade knowing she'll be back for more! Sarawest "Space Rider" winds up the 22nd Trip lost in a twisted two chord space adventure from the point of view of an alien visiting our planet seeking knowledge but finding out we are stupidly destroying ourselves, so he gotta split sneering back at us like we wasted his time "I got no time for loving... I wanna be a space rider, space rider". Toronto, Canada 1974, a vibe lurking in some strange but funny void between late '60s outsider garage psychedelic rock complete with reverb-y acid guitar leads and late '70s retro-futuristic D.I.Y wisecracking from inner space... taking the piss out of outer space!

Released in 1985, Carnivore is the ferocious debut album by the Brooklyn metal band Carnivore, fronted by Peter Steele (later of Type O Negative).It stands as one of the rawest and most apocalyptic statements of the 1980s underground metal scene - a volatile mix of thrash, hardcore punk, and post-nuclear fantasy.The album's concept envisions a devastated future where survivors form brutal tribes, embracing violence, survivalism, and nihilism. Songs like "Predator," "Legion of Doom," and "God Is Dead" channel this dystopian chaos through pounding riffs, shouted vocals, and militaristic rhythms.Lyrically, it blends dark humor, social satire, and cold-war paranoia - reflecting the tensions of the Reagan era and New York's decaying urban landscape. Musically, it's aggressive and primal, fusing metal's heaviness with punk's raw speed and attitude.Though initially polarizing, Carnivore became a cult classic, influencing countless crossover and industrial metal acts. It set the stage for Peter Steele's later transformation into the gothic grandeur of Type O Negative, but here, everything is still stripped down, feral, and scorched by nuclear fire.Here comes the reissue as Gatefold, Red with Black Splatter

Following the brutal impact of their self-titled debut, Brooklyn's Carnivore returned with "Retaliation," an even more ferocious assault of crossover thrash that pushed the boundaries of extremity and controversy. Led by the commanding presence of Peter Steele (later of Type O Negative fame), the album delivers a relentless barrage of apocalyptic visions, urban warfare, and nihilistic rage.Musically heavier and more refined than it's predecessor, "Retaliation" showcases the band's evolution while maintaining their signature blend of hardcore punk aggression and metal brutality. Steele's distinctive bass tone and growling vocals anchor tracks that range from breakneck thrashers to mid-paced, groove-laden crushers. Songs like "Mad Dog," "Ground Zero Brooklyn," and "Race War" paint disturbing portraits of societal collapse, while the epic title track serves as a savage centerpiece.Lyrically provocative and intentionally shocking, the album explores themes of post-nuclear survival, carnage, and humanity's darkest impulses through a deliberately over-the-top lens that blurred the lines between satire and sincerity. The controversial content sparked debate and censorship attempts, cementing Carnivore's reputation as one of the most extreme and uncompromising acts of the era."Retaliation" stands as a landmark of late-80s crossover metal-raw, primitive, and unapologetically savage. It remains a cult classic that influenced countless extreme metal bands while showcasing the early genius of Peter Steele before his transformation into gothic metal royalty.Here comes the reissue as Gatefold LP (Total Clear with Black + White Splatter)

For more than three decades, Converge have delivered musical and emotional catharsis, putting purpose before perception and intent before interpretation. Whether it’s their 2001 landmark recording Jane Doe or their 2021 Bloodmoon: I collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe, they have created some of the most compelling music, lyrics, and visual art of the 21st century. During that time, fewer bands have had a greater impact on the underground imagination. It seems unlikely that anyone who has been making music for this long would create one of their best works for their eleventh album, in their 35th year as a band. And yet: Love is Not Enough might be the apotheosis of Converge’s decades-long journey through the punk, hardcore and metal microcosm. What vocalist/lyricist Jacob Bannon, guitarist/producer Kurt Ballou, bassist/vocalist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller have created is a strident artistic statement on the turmoil of living that hones their collective strengths to a razor’s edge. There isn’t an ounce of fat. Every song moves with a power and purpose that eclipses their human origins, that speaks to the anger, pain, and frustration of the modern age. From the opening fusillade of the title track to the closing hurricane of “We Were Never the Same,” Love Is Not Enough is a sonorous balance of vitality and viciousness that reflects the chaos and uncertainty of the times we live in. “There’s always obstacles in the world,” Bannon says. “Personal, professional, economical, whatever. But I feel like we’re in a pressure cooker somewhere on our evolutionary line. It’s a lot just to be a human being in the modern world, trying to function, maintain, grow, have empathy, have compassion. It takes more than it used to, to do all those things.” The album title itself says everything about the trials of today. “The line ‘Love is not enough’ is something I had kicking around for a while,” Bannon says. “Some of the things I wrote at the time were from a human resilience perspective, an acceptance of the brutality and unforgiving nature of the world. I was reflecting on that in poetic form and set it aside. When we got into the studio, it all fit together.” “Bad Faith” is a deeply personal song about cruel intentions and limited options. “It came from watching someone I love being wronged and broken apart, and there was nothing I could do about it because there was no good intention in the first place,” Bannon says. “It’s that feeling of helplessness because nothing I could do or say could better the situation. I just had to love and support and do what I could to be there. But I couldn’t effect actual change. That’s a horrible feeling.” “We Were Never The Same” recognizes the unrelatable in even the closest of relations. “That one was written about getting together with people at a funeral, finding commonality among a variety of people in your life at a time of loss and grief,” Bannon says. “We’ve all been through some version of that in our lives. If you listen to heavy music, you appreciate the time, you appreciate the faces, you appreciate the histories with different people and loved ones. But then the next day comes, all the regular stressors of everyday life kick in, and you don’t really connect the way you wish to after reflecting on the loss of somebody. I was processing all that stuff when I wrote the line, ‘Why do we all gather to mourn yet not to cherish?’ It’s an honest question.” Love Is Not Enough features no special guests, no studio trickery, no relentless massaging of human imperfection in trying to manufacture the perfect take. “I think that realism is missing from a lot of modern music of any genre, but especially our genre,” Bannon says. “Things either go super raw and almost chaotic to the point where it's distracting, or bands take the life out of what they’re doing by editing every aspect. Sometimes the perfect take is the one that has some wildness to it. It's not perfectly executed. There’s a lot of powerful moments on this record and a lot of angry moments. The realism amplifies that.” Unlike so many albums that adhere to a time-honored sequencing format, cherry-picking favored tracks for the all-important first, second, and final spots, Love Is Not Enough is all about momentum. “It does a thing that no other Converge record does—it keeps ramping up,” Bannon says. “And that’s definitely by design. Internally, we passed around dozens of ideas for sequencing because everyone interprets music differently and there’s no right way of doing it. When we do that, we always joke that we all have to be equally unhappy. But this is the one that works.” Love Is Not Enough was recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City in Salem, Massachusetts, with engineering assistance from Zach Weeks. Jacob Bannon did the artwork and design, creating an image for each song and a commanding cover depicting a celestial witness to a world aflame. “We still identify this band as the outlet that’s essential to our lives,” Bannon says. “We give everything we have to it. Being past your average middle age, we’re starting to see deeper than before into a variety of places. And I don’t think that’s specific to us. I think that’s something that’s utterly relatable.”

Two years after the release of "World Without God", Finland's early purveyors of death/grind/thrash return with their sophomore album, "Reflections". Unbeknownst to the band and fans alike at the time, this album would prove to be Convulse's last for almost 20 years.
"Reflections" finds Convulse exploring new territory, as the album exhibits a clear departure from the band's earlier, old school death metal inspired material. Rather than pummeling the audience with blast beats and grinding guitars, the band places emphasis on creating a sense of groove by means of clearer production, softer guitar tones, thrash driven solos, and, at times, a downright jazzy, Black Sabbath-esque sound.

Finland's CONVULSE present the official 2026 Remastered, Reissues of their classic titles "World Without God", "Reflections" & the new demo compilation "From Resuscitation to Reincarnation - The Early Years"
All three remastered titles are streaming now & pre-orders are out July 31, 2026 on LP/CD/CS formats.
Convulse original member Rami Jämsä comments on the reissues:
"I am very grateful for the Relapse Records from all these three classy Convulse reissues. "World without God" (1991) is our best known debut album with full of rotten old school death metal notes. But don't miss our hidden gem "Reflections" (1994), which is our second album and will be released first time ever on vinyl format. Death 'n roll album "Reflections" comes to home on Relapse Records after 30 years with a brand new layout and a brilliant remastered sound. Third release will be "From Resuscitation to Reincarnation" which presents Convulse's transformation from the straightforward death metal band to more diverse death&rock band. It includes our first demotape "Resuscitation of Evilness" (1990) and "Lost Equilibrium" EP (1992)."
Alongside the band's early '90's counterparts 'World Without God', Convulse's first proper full-length, helped pave the way for a new generation of death-metal extremity. UPC: 781676762415Label: RelapseRelease Date: 7.31.26Format: Vinyl
Limited clear vinyl LP pressing. 2025 release, the sixth album from the Swiss thrash metal band. Dissonance Theory is the band's first album in more than three decades. The title references the psychological concept of cognitive dissonance, relating to a clash between attitudes and behavior. The album's themes reflect today's "dystopian reality" and contradictory stimuli. UPC: 198029594515Label: Century MediaRelease Date: 10.17.25Format: Vinyl
