Eight years after their previous studio release Eonian, Dimmu Borgir return with thirteen punishing yet remarkably diverse tracks under the banner Grand Serpent Rising and even the sheer weight of the album title alone speaks volumes.”It fits perfectly,” Silenoz nods. ”Dimmu Borgir is a leviathan of a band on a grand scale and we are rising once again. While the serpent represents evil to some, for us it symbolizes something else: renewal, growth, knowledge, and liberation. Shedding our skin, so to speak. And let’s not forget that February 2026 marks the end of the Year of the Snake, roughly the same moment this album was completed.”Once you descend into the treacherous journey charted by this Norwegian serpent, Silenoz’s words are immediately vindicated. Following the ominous intro ‘Tridentium,’ the opening track ‘Ascent’ strikes like lightning across a frozen, darkened northern sky. Aggressive, vicious, and twistedly beautiful, it instantly confirms that Dimmu Borgir have lost none of their intensity, menace, or authenticity.And the momentum never falters. Across nearly an hour of music, Grand Serpent Rising maintains an iron grip: it is a majestic and powerful statement that sounds like a band possessed by the feral energy of the early ’90s Norwegian black metal underground, while simultaneously wielding the compositional discipline and hard-earned wisdom forged through more than three decades of relentless creation.

Limited yellow and black cloudburst colored vinyl LP pressing. An iconoclastic milestone that rumbles the earth and shakes our foundations, Songs for Satan is a fuzz-drenched blast of amplified heresy! Songs for Satan is a moment of critical mass for Warsaw, Poland's Dopelord. A blast of devil-worship in the riffing realms is nothing new, and while they aren't the first band to openly embrace the motif, their amplified heresy is uniquely triumphant, their fuzz-drenched apostasy genuine and glorious. Songs for Satan showcases the band's equal mastery of lumbering plod and silvery hooks, and mines Polish Catholicism's decades of oppression for lyrical fuel. Tracks like "Satan's Call," "The Chosen One," "One Billion Skulls" and "Worms" are pointed in their defiance of the church's cultural dominance, even while managing to be contagiously singable at the same time. Calling to mind Electric Wizard, Windhand, Beelzebong and Acid King, Songs for Satan is Dopelord's apex, an iconoclastic milestone that rumbles the earth and shakes our figurative foundations.

Swedish gothic doom entity DRACONIAN is finally back! Their new studio album, In Somnolent Ruin, will creep its way from the artist’s spirit into the light of day on May 8, 2026 via Napalm Records. This promises to be one of the most personal records in the band’s discography, revealed through a dreamlike journey across nine tracks and the poetic lyricism of vocalist Anders Jacobsson. As a recurring theme, DRACONIAN explore Plato’s theory of the soul – an element that was not planned from the very beginning, but instead emerged organically during the creation. In 2022, the band announced the return of vocalist Lisa Johansson. Johansson had been the band’s vocalist for their first five records before leaving DRACONIAN in 2011 for personal reasons. In Somnolent Ruin marks her comeback.

The breakthrough for ELOY came in the mid-seventies, mostly with spectacular concept albums that were sold worldwide, increasingly. This was not only rewarded with numerous high chart positions in Germany, honored with many awards but also brought Eloy a lot of international attention and a considerable fan base, which still exists and is constantly growing. When a fan club recently came up with the idea of bundling their own favorites from the band's extensive repertoire and producing their own compilations, we had the idea of offering this officially and releasing ELOY's highlights from different eras of the band's history on vinyl, too. We had Frank Bornemann and sound engineer Benjamin Schäfer edit the sound in such a way that they fit together perfectly and offer the listener a very individual listening experience. This is how "Hidden Treasures" came into being, offering ELOY fans a sound and song combination that has never been heard before.

Dry Kill Logic got lumped in with the "nu-metal" movement of the early 'Oughts but their 2001 debut The Darker Side of Nonsense wields a brutal sonic bludgeon of singular power. In fact, even Roadrunner, a label not known for pandering to popular taste, asked the band for a more commercial sound on it's projected follow-up, which led to Dry Kill Logic's leaving for pastures less dedicated to green. Indeed, vocalist Cliff Rigano's lyrics give no quarter: "What goes around comes around/Once lost now I am found/All of this hatred I focus on you." On the 25th anniversary of it's original release, we've remastered The Darker Side of Nonsense for it's vinyl debut, and faithfully re-created the beautifully grotesque artwork with a jacket and color inner sleeve. Reissued with the full support of the band on milky clear vinyl!

Formed in Syracuse, New York in 1989, Earth Crisis became one of the most influential forces in metallic hardcore - inspiring an entire generation of bands including Hatebreed and Terror. After their highly anticipated 2008 reunion and the crushing return-to-form To The Death (2009), the band proved they were back with a vengeance.Then came Neutralize The Threat.Originally released in 2011, the album stands as one of the most angst-ridden and unrelenting statements in the band's already legendary catalog. From the blistering opener "Raise" to the pulverizing title track, to mosh-igniting anthems like "Total War" and the groove-driven bruiser "Askari," this record delivers metallic hardcore at it's most focused and ferocious.The riffs are sharp and crossover-thrash fueled - at times jagged and pulverizing, at times crushingly methodical. The rhythm section of Ian Edwards and Dennis Merrick provides a relentless percussive backbone, while guitarists Scott Crouse and Erick Edwards unleash wave after wave of sonic assault. Frontman Karl Buechner's commanding vocal range and depth cut through with authority, reminding everyone why he remains one of the most recognizable voices in hardcore.Neutralize The Threat doesn't reinvent the wheel - it reinforces it with steel. It's direct. It's punishing. It's built for stage domination and pit movement. A wake-up call record that silenced doubters and reaffirmed Earth Crisis as a defining force in heavy music.Now, Brutal Planet Records celebrates this modern hardcore classic with the 15th Anniversary Edition, remastered specifically for vinyl by guitarist Scott Crouse, and pressed on striking Orange Crush Vinyl, strictly limited to just 300 units worldwide.Hardcore history - properly honored.For fans of Hatebreed / Terror / Biohazard / Sick Of It All / Agnostic Front / Slayer / Cro-Mags

Double vinyl LP pressing. Two decades into their existence, Elder remain an anomaly in the heavy underground - a band with the ability to absorb and shed influences from a myriad of genres without falling into pastiche or losing their identity. New album Through Zero is a reaffirmation of their commitment to pushing boundaries and cements their status as leaders in heavy psychedelic rock. Elder has long since mastered crushing riffs, melodic jaunts, progressive patterns, hypnotic grooves and ethereal atmospherics. Recorded in Berlin between tours in 2025, Through Zero is possibly their most immediate and engaging record to date, allowing seeds from outside the sphere of rock music to take root and bloom within their progressive framework. Listeners will find new textures, sequences and sounds woven into Elder's endlessly bombastic take on heavy rock. Elder was formed in a small coastal town in Massachusetts around 2006 by three longtime friends with a passion for downtuned heavy music. Over the years, the band has gained a guitarist, lost a drummer, relocated (mostly) from the United States to Germany, played hundreds of shows from small clubs to arenas across the world and released six full-length albums, four EPs and two live records. "Through Zero" is a term borrowed from music engineering, which describes the property of a frequency being able to pass through the zero point and continue into the negative. While not a concept rooted in philosophy, it resonates on an existential level: the zero point is not an end, but a midpoint along a mostly unseeable path where the journey is the destination and reality is less linear than most of us understand.

Even though the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was already history by the time Elixir released The Son Of Odin in 1986, the album is still considered one of the best albums of the movement. Elixir started out in London in 1983. In 1985, they released their debut single "Treachery (Ride Like The Wind)," which was endorsed in Kerrang! By none other than Ronnie James Dio in a guest column, spurring the band to tackle their first album. The result was The Son Of Odin. Rave reviews followed almost everywhere, not least in Metal Forces, where Dave Constable stated: "A self-financed LP that eclipses many a major label release." The 40th Anniversary Edition of this immortal classic includes, in addition to the regular album, the complete session from which the "Treachery (Ride Like The Wind)" single was taken, as well as the previous demo and the BBC Friday Rock Show session. In addition, recent interviews with guitarist Phil Denton and manager Seymour Mincer tell the story of the album.

Eric Martin Band - Looks Can Be Deceiving / Due to an unrelated dispute between band manager Herbie Herbert and the newly appointed CEO of Elektra Records many years prior, Eric Martin Band were dropped from their contract, and the newly recorded album was shelved. Y&T quickly recruited guitarist John Nymann, City Kidd (later known as Tesla) nabbed drummer Troy Luccketta, Gregg Rolie would bring in guitarist Mark Ross for his self-titled album. Eric Martin would release two solo albums and then go on to help form the supergroup Mr. Big. The band UFO had grabbed keyboardist Dave Jacobsen a few months prior. The Looks Can Be Deceiving album would sit for more than 40 years, until Metallic Blue Records would come along and sign Eric Martin and company to a six-album deal.
