DIVID hits like a breaking point-where pressure, conflict, and identity collide. Fueled by years of relentless touring and refinement, the band delivers a fierce and modern blend of metal and hardcore that feels both explosive and intentional. Driven by crushing riffs, dynamic shifts, and emotionally charged vocals, DIVID pulls listeners into a world shaped by tension and release. Themes of division, inner struggle, and resilience cut through every track, giving the album both weight and purpose. Direct, aggressive, and unapologetically real, DIVID is a gripping listen from start to finish-crafted for those who crave intensity with depth and a sound that refuses to stand still.

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.

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.

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.

Master, We Perish's deluxe reissue is newly remastered and expanded.The Body's landmark record Master, We Perish, originally released in 2013, found the acclaimed duo at a crossroads in their career. Recorded just before the duo of drummer Lee Buford and guitarist/vocalist Chip King were leaving their longtime home of Providence for Portland and released in between their breakthrough albums All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood and Christs, Redeemers, Master expanded on the duo's love of layered worldbuilding with more precision and a stronger emphasis on percussive samples than ever before. The seeds of the duo's celebrated collaborative inclination are evident as the album features Assembly of Light Choir leader Chrissy Wolpert, choir member Reba Mitchell, Otesanek vocalist Leslie Weitz, and guitarist David Lifrieri. With the expanded edition, the album's striking cover painting by Providence mainstay Manifester aka Matt Brinkman (Mindflayer, Forcefield) is finally rendered in it's original form.Master, We Perish is expanded with rare bonus tracks from The Body's early days, taken from a pair of rare 7" singles Cop Killer/Dead Cops as well as a split with Get Killed. These storied singles mark the first time the band truly pushed the boundaries of sound in the studio and on record. It also marks the beginning of The Body's practice of wielding the studio as a veritable weapon to translate their gargantuan sound with deeper impact on LP. The results are not only pushing the capacity of the album format but are sonically riveting. The bonus material was recorded at Machines with Magnets. The band described them economically: "NASTY."

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)."

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.

That one of the greatest thrash albums of all time was recorded by a bunch of teenagers (or barely even that... drummer Andy Galeon was only 14 years old) still remains one of metal's great success stories. Metallica's Kirk Hammett produced the Kill as One demo for Death Angel, and that, along with a fearsome live reputation (the band played L.A. and NYC despite their tender ages) led to their signing with Enigma and recording The Ultra-Violence in a mere three days. That's how tight these kids were... listen to "Evil Priest" and "Final Death" and prepare to be awestruck by their precocity, velocity, and ferocity. We've remastered this 1987 classic for vinyl and included an insert with lyrics and band photo. Smoking crater vinyl pressing!
