The increasingly popular (from 10 special releases in 2008 to over 400 last year) Record Store Day marks it’s sixth year this Saturday.

Each of these are limited to 1000 worldwide, with only 250 made available to the UK.
Important to say, these are all legitimate copies, not from participating shops and resold (which happens a lot). We made sure these copies were ordered in only after physical shops took their stock.

This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, djs spinning records and on and on. Metallica officially kicked off Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Francisco on April 19, 2008 and Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April.
Sumerian Cry, the classic Swedish Black Metal TIAMAT record from 1990 will be reissued on white vinyl in early May. This record is absolutely essential for fans of the modern occult death metal revival, the late-eighties/early nineties Swedish Death Metal scene (this was released a few days after Left Hand Path), and of course anyone interested in early black metal (Sodom, Sarcofago, Root etc.)!!! A completely possessed album musically, great drumming, some avant-garde flourishes hinting at their future career, and amazing bestial vocals!
That deep, hollow, inhuman voice echoed…
We have changed our name to TIAMAT because it does really fit our lyrics better. The Satanic image is to keep the Unholy Black Metal alive. Some people (in fact, alot of people) want to kill it but early Venom, Possessed, Destruction, Slayer, Sodom will forever live on in our minds!!! Our image is a tribute to the good old black metal!!!

And he should find that I had no regard to my Profit in this respect: For as soon as an Hour-Glass, just then turned, was run out, he should be put to death.
Arghoslent – Galloping Through the Battleruins [1998]
The debut album of powerful US death metal! Killer melodies and riffs with a strong NWOBHM influence running throughout the record. Originally released in 1998, although many of the songs were re-recording of material dating back to 1991 (the first demo, The Entity)!
Arghoslent – Incorrigible Bigotry [2002]
The best of an incredibly consistent recording history, Incorrigible Bigotry is a complete masterpiece with seven (plus additional bonus track previously only available on the limited vinyl) perfectly crafted songs. Death metal with plenty of killer heavy/speed/NWOBHM inspired riffs!
Arghoslent – Hornets of the Pogrom [2008]
The latest classic album from Arghoslent, released six years after their second, Incorrigible Bigotry. Totalitarian Death Metal. If there’s one reason this band is sure to stand out, it’s their extremely catchy guitar riffs. Not only are the riffs filled with energy, but they have a slight southern flair to them. This, when combined with the old school Dismember sounding death metal, gives Arghoslent an edge over similar bands.

Arghoslent / Martial Barrage – Send Forth the Best Ye Breed [2009]
A killer US/CA split album, and the latest release by both bands! Arghoslent execute another perfect recording of melodic and confrontational death metal, Martial Barrage play raw death metal / war metal!
Here are some of the latest videos taken from this week’s new arrivals. You can follow all new arrival related videos as they are added.
ForeBears is an amateur and experimental motion film about the prehistoric Bear Cult and the Neanderthal case.
Varg VIKERNES embarks on a spiritual journey back in time, to the Stone Age (around 30 000 BC) to a previous life. He sees the distant past through the eyes of his former self, and doing so understands the meaning of the forgotten bear cult rituals, that still influences the modern mind. He discovers that these age-old rituals are the roots to all philosophies, traditions and religions.
The soundtrack is composed by Varg Vikernes containing previous unpublished recordings. Music from the soundtrack will form part of the new Burzum album Sol Austan, Mani Vestan (East of the Sun, West of the Moon). Available soon from the Todestrieb Distro:
Burzum – Sol Austan Mani Vestan (Digipack - Byelobog Productions)
Burzum – Sol Austan Mani Vestan (DLP – Back on Black)
I am the same Osiris, dwelling in the mountain of Amenta. Stand up, therefore, O Horus; Osiris hath counted thee among the gods. I have become worthy of honour by reason of his honour. I am formed out of the atoms of all the gods.
Let not my heart be taken away from me !
A new Burzum album has been announced for 27 May 2013. Sol Austan, Mani Vestan (East of the Sun, West of the Moon) will be an instrumental, ambient album with several songs also featured on the new film/documentary ForeBears’.
Sol Austan, Mani Vestan (East of the Sun, West of the Moon) is the 11th album from Burzum and a return to a purely electronic and instrumental expression. Sol Austan, Mani Vestan is different from all the older albums, and yet similar to all of them, and is in style more than anything similar to the oldest ambient music of Burzum, like the tracks Tomhet, Han Som Reiste and Channelling the Power of Minds Into a New God. Sol Austan, Mani Vestan is inspired by and made for the ForeBears movie by Marie Cachet and Varg Vikernes, where much of the Scaldic music from Sol Austan, Mani Vestan appears, only in unmastered form, as a soundtrack.
Sol Austan, Mani Vestan will feature almost an hour of instrumental electronic music, that can best be described as relaxing, slow-paced, contemplative and very much original. I have still not been able to leave behind the Pagan religious-spiritual concept of a descent into darkness and the following ascend back into the light; the Pagan initiation, the elevation of man to the divine, the enlightenment of the mind, the feeding of the elven light in man.

Collection: The Black Legions – French Cult
The Black Legions are the members of a circle against christianity and all the religions of inconsistency and weakness, against the vile oceans of human mire… We fight for keeping Black Metal out of musical influences and trends, like Death Metal… We fight for the magnificent Dark Age and the Unholy War to come… We are the circle of Depressive Hate, Cold Winds of Sadness, Satanic and Somber Melancholy, born to wander through the gigantic fields of the Eternal Winter, born to whisper Tragic Oaths in the Nature at Dawn, Twilight… We are the True Evil Ones… And we declare the Dark War to this “World.” We are a Black Brotherhood, just a few people who continue together their Black Journey to reach the Dark Landscapes of the Great Satan…
