Vinyl LP pressing. The third record for the Swedish masters of power metal, "Mournbraid" delivers the trademark Evermore sound made of aggressive guitar riffs, soaring epic vocals and unforgettable strong hooks - all amplified by a massive neat production. Master of ardour and melody perfectly blended together, the Scandinavian trio further refined it's pretty unique songwriting and lyrical touch. Each song of the album tells a different story from the perspective of individuals experiencing the diversity of existence's challenges and feelings of personal struggles. As always in Evermore's music, the end goal is to make the listener relate to the music on a very deep personal level.

In 1990, Pittsburgh's Eviction unleashed The World Is Hours Away - a volatile mix of thrash power and punk rebellion that instantly earned cult status among crossover metal fans. Fueled by blue-collar grit and raw conviction, the album captured a scene that valued energy over Polish and truth over trends. Brutal Planet Records now brings this underground classic back to life with a striking Nuclear Green Vinyl pressing, complete with a full-color 12? x 12? lyric and collage insert that celebrates Eviction's history and the Pittsburgh scene that forged them. It's a sonic time capsule of American thrash at it's most honest - loud, fast, and full of heart. From the relentless drive of "Listen" and "Drunken State" to the defiant anthem "American Way," every track oozes authenticity and attitude. For fans who live at the intersection of punk ferocity and metal precision - where Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I., and C.O.C. collide - this is the definitive way to experience The World Is Hours Away.

Fen are climbing to a new artistic height by coming down to earth with their eighth full-length "Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth". The East Anglian trio has turned to their 'roots' in every sense, by distilling the true essence of what constitutes their sound through everything that they have learned and added in the last two decades. While the previous album, "Monuments to Absence" (2023), was deliberately arranged dense, fast and intense, Fen decided to leave breathing space on this album to allow more time for themes and ideas to exhale and unfurl. Of course, there is still much sonic aggression but channelled differently as large parts of "Mourning Earth" were recorded live to allow an organic nature to flow, and to permit the natural rhythms of the pieces to develop. Lyrically, Fen sum up their basic idea behind "Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth" in their own poetic words: "The morning mists clearing over the boggy expanses of the fens to reveal another grey, gloom-laden day of sorrow and regret. And at twilight, the slow, sad realisation that tomorrow promises only more of the same - tormented by the half-heard whispers of the spirits bound to the soils, our pain continues. And we can only endure." With "Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth", Fen have reached a new pinnacle in their exciting career and achieved a perfect balance between their black metal foundations and post-black metal innovations. Fen take their listener on a journey to grim bogs, languid waterways, and dismal fogs over bare rock - yet on the other side waits a sense of surcease to the endless existential ennui within.

Inspired by bands like Deftones, Architects, and Silent Planet, the Fervence sound is an ethereal blend of harsh and lush, navigating between moments of sheer aggression and poignant vulnerability. Started out as the solo project of guitarist Trent Odneal, in 2019 the band solidified with their 2020 debut album Ghost. Ghost was called an “emotionally-laden and hard-hitting record that contemplates what it is to be human.”
The band reemerged in 2023 with vocalist Stevie B. now at the helm, bringing her unique brand of ethereal aggression to the project. The band toured the west coast, continuing to build their local following in Reno opening for the likes of Otep, Left to Suffer, and Gideon, and releasing four singles that would make up their second offering, an EP titled Realm//One.

FORBIDDEN’s legacy is one of being the youngest, hungriest and most ambitious of the Bay Area brethren that has launched metal paradigm-shifters from Metallica to Machine Head. With a reconstituted lineup, guitarist Craig Locicero and bassist Matt Camacho, have crafted an hour-plus masterpiece of thrashy predilection, emotive musical movements, and prog-scraping sonic ambitions. From the intensity of opening track, “Single Point Failure” to the philosophical shades of 9-minute closer, “Flower of Life”, this is FORBIDDEN not merely stretching beyond the steely foundations of 1988’s classic Forbidden Evil or the quantum leap of 1990’s Twisted Into Form, but the sound of a band with a new sense of scope and purpose. Produced by Zach Ohren (Machine Head), Forbidden isn’t merely a revival for quintet whose membership has included players from Machine Head, Voivod and Imagika, but full-blown reinvigoration and purgative endpoint for this Bay Area metal institution.

A Forest of Stars are the physical manifestation of what can confidentially be called 'British Black Metal'. "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface", the grandiose sixth full-length by the band from West Yorkshire is the sonic expression of this distinct and discernible local variant of the genre. "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface" sends it's tendril-like roots deep into British musical soil. In his recitative mode, vocalist Curse is even reminiscent of electro poet Anne Clark - after a steady diet of prescription drugs and rusty nails. Another sonic pillar on which "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface" stands, is the violin of Katheryne aka Queen of the Ghosts. Her melodies time and time again build beautiful bridges over the dissonant churning of electric guitars as the latter gloriously luxuriate in the chaos they create. On the harsh side of their unique sound, A Forest of Stars make use of the full spectrum that both classic heavy and black metal have to offer - with deadly and progressive moments meticulously slotted into all the right places. Connoisseurs of the black arts will not fail to notice that the collective from Leeds beg to differ from traditional Norse berserkir in the wake of MAYHEM, as well as contemporary compatriots such as WINTERFYLLETH. A Forest of Stars have used their temporary hiatus well to craft a collection of excellent songs. In their quest for perfection, they even discarded an entire finished album and started again from scratch. "Stack Overflow in Corpse Pile Interface" is undoubtedly pure A Forest of Stars: complex, catchy, contradictory - and completely individualistic. Welcome to British Black Metal!
