Portland-based band Hands of Thieves will release a digipak CD version of their debut EP Feasting On Dark Intentions on July 7th, 2017 via Hellthrasher Productions. 

Previously released on cassette and vinyl through Transylvanian Tapes and Baneful Genesis, the record channels black, death and doom metal into a twisted and original whole carved with nefarious precision. The EP was tracked at Haywire Studios with mastering duties performed by Ryan Foster. The artwork was created by Jason Graham. Stream Feasting On Dark Intentions in full below:

New Ljosazabojstwa (Belarus) EP Sychodžańnie is available now on 6-panel digipak CD and digital formats via Hellthrasher Productions. With Sychodžańnie, LSZB take their brand of ancient thrashing black death to a whole new level, balancing barbaric riffage with mysterious interludes and spoken word samples that make for a unique experience. Prepare yourself for a 32-minute descent to the bottomless pit.. 

„As good as Staražytnaje licha was, Sychodžańnie is better. While that first demo was a multifaceted affair, there are even more facets on this new gem, and the band have pushed the dynamism of their compositions to even greater heights. The result is a half hour of music that keeps the listener tightly bound in the chains of its attraction.” – NO CLEAN SINGING

Polish black metal project Ars Magna Umbrae will release a CD version of the debut EP Through Lunar Gateways on June 23rd via Hellthrasher Productions.

„The midtempo intro/verse alone is enough to get anyone’s noggin nodding in rhythmic fashion, but it’s the following bridge section that shows how capable Ljosazabojstwa has become at shifting genres in such a short time. The sound of a funeral knell halts the assault of the guitars, slowing them down into a trudge with grinding bass and doom-y hammer-ons. The accompaniment of transcendent organs suggest you’re plodding toward a fate that’s at once terrible, majestic, and inevitable, before breaking away with speedy thrash riffing and blackened heaviness.”

Both pre-release tracks are now also available on bandcamp:

We are proud to announce that we have teamed up with Naturmacht Productions for the release of „Kelle Surut Soi”, the new album from Finland’s Havukruunu, on 12” vinyl.

„Kelle Surut Soi” translated means „for whom the sorrows sing” and the new album of praised finnish Havukruunu just delivers that: A powerful storm of finnish pagan heavy black metal mixed with darkness and sorrow. A masterpiece of epic proportions!

More details in due time. Full album available here:

After releasing ‚Staražytnaje licha’ demo last year, Belarusian black/death metallers Ljosazabojstwa are back with a massive new EP ‚Sychodžańnie’, set for release in June 2017 via Hellthrasher Productions (CD).

At six tracks in thirty two minutes, LSZB’s follow-up EP, Sychodžańnie, is a mind-rattling hellride through the darklands of humanity’s subconscious. One minute you’re headbanging, rejoicing in malicious riffs and howls of ancient rancor; the next you’re cowering in deeply-embedded, instinctual fear beneath the wailing sirens of doom. And that’s just in the song „Piekła.” – says Decibel Magazine. Listen to the new track here:

The band comments: The trip to the Apocalypse proceeds on the Sychodžańnie record, with ‘Piekła’ as the centrepiece of the nightmare exhibition. A tortured soul descends into the void bawling in pain and agony.

Tracklisting as follows:

1. Pozirk u biezdań
2. Zhuba
3. Piekła
4. Šliach na Miehida
5. Sychodžańnie
