Pink vinyl. The West Coast's contribution to hardcore punk is undeniable. That tradition of aggression, passion, and scrappy melodicism continues with The Barbarians of California, an engaging new manifestation of iconoclastic spirit and true bombast. 2024 debut album, And Now I'm Just Gnashing My Teeth was celebrated with a high-energy show at the iconic Troubadour in Los Angeles, cementing their place in the hardcore scene's next chapter.

When German four-piece BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE began to find their bearings on where to go next from the success of their previous full-length, ""Aion"" (2023), the core idea for the fourth album, ""In Between Strides"", was to take a more melodic approach. All else, they would leave to the creative process and somewhat to chance. BEES MADE HONEY recorded every other song on ""In Between Strides"" in various settings that were available to them at the time of creation: a cavernous cellar, a concert stage, an indoor balcony, a living room, their rehearsal space, even returning to the studio where their first album ""Medicine"" was tracked. Through this spontaneous and shifting approach, BEES MADE HONEY began to move texturally and stylistically from ambient and drone toward shoegaze along with more acoustic elements. According to their original plan, ""In Between Strides"" stepped into more melodic territory, with each song representing a different aspect of the band's musical vocabulary. BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE originate from the Swabian capital and German city of Stuttgart. All four members grew up together, eventually forming the band in 2014. Their musical template of ambient psychedelic doom was established with the debut album ""Medicine"" in 2017, and their sound has continued to evolve ever since. With ""In Between Strides"", BEES MADE HONEY have turned rage into reflection by developing a more organic and spontaneous approach to their songs, opening up wide spaces and letting the melodies flow freely. This musical honey tastes simply delicious. Tracklist: 1. Departure 2. Respite 3. Clutching at Straws 4. Elisa 5.

Two tracks - Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil (from The Return of the Northern Moon. 1992) and In Thy Pandemaeternum (from Pandemonic Incantations, 1998) - are newly re-recorded versions of early Behemoth material, reshaped with modern sonics while preserving their original spirit; a tribute to the bands who had a huge influence on Behemoth: "In League With Satan" (originally by Venom, feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) and "The Return of Darkness and Evil" (originally by Bathory, feat. Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ).

Swedes are supposed to be cool, and musically, BESVA"RJELSEN sure live up to that stereotype in the best possible way. What the self-proclaimed forest rockers deliver on their third full-length "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem" is so cool, in fact, that it's a hot early candidate for rock album of the year. The 'forest rock' moniker is the Swedes' tongue-in-cheek answer to the term 'desert rock', which stylistically provides a great starting point to describe their musical brand. Add exceptional vocalist Lea Amling Alazam, who developed her passion for punk and stoner rock at the local skate park when she was just 13 years old, to the band's plethora of riveting hooks and riffs, and you get an album that feels fresh and ready to deliver surprises for months if not years to come. If there is any justice, "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem" should make BESVA"RJELSEN as famous as the iconic wooden Dala horses that every tourist who visits the country takes home to put on their shelves. BESVA"RJELSEN were co-founded by guitarists and vocalists Andreas Bajer and Staffan Vinrot in 2014. Their musical vision was based on the idea to channel the spirit and traditions of the vast Dalarna forests, where Germanic gods and the spirit world of finno-ugric shamans met, into a contemporary urban context. With "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem", BESVA"RJELSEN have conjured 'Into Oblivion' twice, in both Swedish and Latin, but the spellbinding five-piece also deliver a cathartic rock album that will rank among the finest heavy releases of the genre and beyond in 2026.

When Black sabbath emerged from the industrial soot of the English Midlands in 1970, they didn't just change music - they gave the darkness a voice. They invented a genre through sheer volume and haunting riffs, casting a shadow that still looms over the world of rock today. This collection serves as a sonic bridge across two decades of dominance, capturing the band's raw evolution from 1970 to 1992. Featuring legendary radio broadcasts and rare 'Basement Tracks', this LP offers a visceral look into the heart of the heavy metal machine. Lower the needle, turn up the volume, and let the void embrace you. This is the legacy. This is Black Sabbath.

Black Veil Brides' seventh album, VINDICATE, ushers in their most visceral, creative, thrilling, and uncompromising era yet, as the band continues to defy expectations and misconceptions held by casual onlookers. It's a living will and testament to the band's storied past, triumphant present, and unwritten future. It harnesses the blend of grandeur and intimacy at the heart of the band's melodic and metallic sound; conjuring enduring archetypes, interwoven with themes of revolt, vengeance, and shades of John Milton's epic 1677 poem, Paradise Lost. Each of the album's songs explores a distinct expression of revenge, some as narrative portraits and others as internal confrontations. VINDICATE is the first new Black Veil Brides full-length produced by Pitts and Biersack, who exercised complete creative control while synthesizing the best of what they've learned from A-list producers. The album was mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Bad Omens). Forever champions of the isolated and the dismissed, Black Veil Brides are an object of devotion and obsession for those who sing their anthems in unison - a diverse BVB Army that never surrenders.

Lost Realm Records proudly announces the upcoming vinyl and CD release of Liars, Killers & Master Thieves, the full-length album from Chicago's heavy metal keepers, Blacklyst, set to drop in early 2026. This celebrates a triumphant return for a band rooted in the gritty heart of the '80s underground metal scene.Formed in 1987, Blacklyst emerged during a fertile era for heavy metal. They burst onto Chicago's vibrant scene, which was already full of established metal bands but also saw a significant number of new projects on the rise. Their sound - a blistering fusion of classic heavy metal and the muscular aggression of American power metal - featured galloping riffs, soaring vocals, and thunderous rhythms that evoked the genre's golden age. Their lyrical tales of betrayal and vengeance, social critique, and heavy metal triumph resonate with metal purists regardless of decade.Liars, Killers & Master Thieves, originally released only on cassette in 1991, captures Blacklyst's unrelenting metal spirit, with songs like Armageddon, Sick Society, and Metal Knight - a testament to the enduring power of true heavy metal. Recorded with meticulous attention to analog warmth, the album is a love letter to fans of traditional metal, blending gritty hooks with intricate solos.Available on vinyl for the first time, Liars, Killers & Master Thieves will be released worldwide in a deluxe limited edition, featuring 4-page insert with official band biography, full lyrics and rare band photos. A must-have for collectors and American metal aficionados.In April 2026, the band will give a special performance at the legendary Keep It True festival in Germany. It will be the band's first performance in Europe!For fans of: KING DIAMOND, JUDAS PRIEST, AMULANCE, HELSTAR.

Forged in the fire of 1987, Blacklyst detonated onto Chicago's blistering metal underground - a scene already stacked with legends yet starving for the next unstoppable force. Their sound? A merciless onslaught of classic heavy metal fused with the razor-sharp aggression of American power metal: galloping riffs that crush skulls, vocals that command obedience, and rhythms that thunder like the genre's golden gods reborn. Lyrics dripping with betrayal, revenge, social gut-punches, and the unbreakable triumph of metal itself - Blacklyst speaks straight to the diehards, no matter the era.Now, Lost Realm Records proudly resurrects the beast with Living On The Edge - The Demos: the first-ever official collection of Blacklyst's savage demos, spanning 1990 to 2004. This isn't polished nostalgia... It's a time capsule of pure underground fury that comprises: 1990 studio assaults from the band's chaotic, lineup-shifting dawn; mid-90s demos produced by Eric Wagner (from the legendary band TROUBLE), recorded during a dark period for traditional heavy metal, and early 2000s comeback recordings, with a new line-up.From the peak of their classic full-length album Liars, Killers And Master Thieves (1991) to every unreleased sonic riff in between, Living On The Edge - The Demos revives these forgotten Chicago metal heroes in all their unfiltered glory. If demo grit makes you flinch, then this release isn't for you. But if you crave real American metal, this might be your new holy grail.Available worldwide for the first time on vinyl LP and CD, Living On The Edge - The Demos will include a total of 8 songs, liner notes with exclusive details about each of these recordings, and rare band pictures.In April 2026, the band will give a special performance at the legendary Keep It True festival in Germany. It will be the band's first performance in Europe!For fans of: KING DIAMOND, JUDAS PRIEST, AMULANCE, HELSTAR.

Blood Incantation’s Absolute Elsewhere is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. Few can claim a sonic watershed as readily as the Denver, Colorado quartet. At roughly 45 minutes, the two compositions that make up this album are as confounding as they are engaging in their scope, melding the 70's prog leanings of Tangerine Dream (whose Thorsten Quaesching appears on „The Stargate [Tablet II]”) with the deathly intent of Morbid Angel. Blood Incantation has already proven themselves, perfecting progressive death metal with 2019's Hidden History of the Human Race while branching out into exclusively synth-driven soundtrack territory with 2022's Timewave Zero. Now, with Absolute Elsewhere, which takes its title from the mid-70's prog collective (best known as a celestial stopover for King Crimson drummer, Bill Bruford), Blood Incantation are leaving the notion of genre behind and writing a new language for extreme music itself

Released in 1989, Bloodgood's Out of the Darkness marked the beginning of a new era for one of Christian metal's most important bands. Following the departure of legendary guitarist David Zaffiro, many fans wondered what Bloodgood would sound like moving forward. The answer was an album that confidently carried the band into a more melodic, polished, and arena-ready hard rock direction without losing the heart, conviction, and intensity that made them legendary in the first place.Rather than trying to recreate the past, Bloodgood evolved. Out of the Darkness blends massive hooks, emotional songwriting, powerful rhythms, and polished production into a record that stands as one of the strongest melodic hard rock releases in the band's catalog. Tracks like ""Mad Dog World"" deliver driving energy and attitude, while ""Top of the Mountain"" remains one of the band's most uplifting and memorable anthems. Throughout the album, Les Carlsen's unmistakable voice carries both grit and vulnerability, giving the songs emotional weight that still resonates decades later.Often overlooked beside the band's earlier heavier material, Out of the Darkness has earned increasing appreciation over time for it's songwriting strength, maturity, and accessibility. Angelic Warlord ranked the album #18 on it's list of the Top 50 Christian Metal Albums of the 1980s - recognition that confirms the album's lasting impact and importance within the genre.For this definitive Retroactive Records vinyl edition, Rob Colwell's remaster brings new depth, warmth, and clarity to the recording, allowing these songs to hit harder and sound fuller than ever before. Scott Waters of NoLifeTilMetal also provides a refreshed artwork layout worthy of this classic release.More than thirty-five years later, Out of the Darkness remains a shining example of late-80s melodic hard rock done right - passionate, memorable, inspiring, and timeless.For fans of WASP, Barren Cross, Bride, Novella, Stryper, and Kiss! This is the ultimate version of this classic album. UPC: 732131700275Label: Retroactive RecordsRelease Date: 10.16.26Format: Vinyl
When Bloodgood released Rock In A Hard Place in 1988, it caught many fans completely off guard. The blistering metallic attack of the band's earlier releases gave way to a more melodic, polished, and emotionally layered hard rock approach - but make no mistake, this album still carries the unmistakable passion, conviction, and power that made Bloodgood one of the most important bands in Christian metal history.Instead of chasing trends, Bloodgood expanded their sound. Songs like ""She's Gone"" reveal a haunting emotional depth, while ""Shakin' It"" bursts forward with swagger and arena-ready hooks. ""Never Be The Same"" and ""Heaven On Earth"" showcase the band's gift for memorable melodies without sacrificing intensity. Then there's ""Seven"" - a thunderous, dramatic closer that reconnects the band to the heavier spirit of their earlier classics and remains one of the standout tracks in the Bloodgood catalog.This album also marks the final Bloodgood release featuring legendary guitarist David Zaffiro, whose fiery playing and unmistakable style helped define the band's classic era. His work throughout Rock In A Hard Place is both tasteful and explosive, proving why he remains one of the most respected guitarists in Christian hard rock and metal.For this definitive Retroactive Records vinyl edition (only 200 copies, Red Vinyl), Rob Colwell delivers a powerful new remaster that finally gives the album the warmth, punch, and low-end presence it always deserved. Combined with Scott Waters' stunning artwork restoration and layout work, this release breathes new life into a criminally underrated melodic hard rock masterpiece.Whether you discovered this album back in the late 80s or are hearing it for the first time, Rock In A Hard Place stands today as a bold and unforgettable chapter in the legacy of Bloodgood - melodic, passionate, honest, and timeless.For fans of Idle Cure, Stryper, and Kiss!
