(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Aggressive-Perfector-small-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR's striking debut album, Havoc at the Midnight Hour, on CD, vinyl LP and digital formats.
Following up their 2016 release Satan's Heavy Metal, Aggressive Perfector's debut full length, Havoc At The Midnight Hour, finds the English trio in resolutely evil form as they take a major step forward on their path of destruction.Embracing a wealth of haunted sounds and textures, this sepulchral slab of metal conjures an atmosphere rich in the romantic repugnance of horror's past masters which it uses the setting for a 37 minute nightmare of nocturnal menace, occult fascination and bloody vengeance.
Summoning the ghosts of Metal past – Tank, Slayer, Venom and Mercyful Fate all playing a part- Havoc... fixates on the nuclear fury of an apocalyptic future, from which it culls new ways to pervert the course of heavy metal in the present.Follow Aggressive Perfector into the nightmare when Havoc At The Midnight hour is released on November 1st.

DYING VICTIM PRODUCTIONS and Redefining Darkness Records are proud to announce 1st November as the international release date of the advanced label version of MATTERHORN's debut album "Crass Cleansing" on LP, CD and Digital formats:
"Today marks a very special day to us, as we can say that our debut album «Crass Cleansing» is going to be released on vinyl for the first time on label!! Not only for the purpose of restocking our nearly gone self-released vinyl, not as plain second pressing or re-release, we used this happy chance to bring you the reworked & advanced label edition. Soldiered through the messy fap of what was the original reproduction, this is now something we're cool to say we're being proud of in a new level... Reworked to come closer of how you know our songs live, to fit our vision and most important, to show the group's capability as an outstanding and inventive group, more precisely... Remixed by JB "Wonderwall" Van Der Wal because he understands the band. Remastered. Also it's advanced to completion by two new live recorded bonus tracks «Bydying» and «Clarity», to show an insight on our forthcoming sophomore album, presenting the band in its actual state and to cut the biased sights on what we do. The new playtime is 49 minutes. All new artworks and layouts. It will be out in November on CD/Vinyl and streaming. We are happy to have found the two partners Dying Victims Productions and Redefining Darkness Records (US version) to make this possible! Our deepest gratitude!If you hated it, you may hate it for new reasons, if you loved it, you will surely love it for new reasons anew! More info to come ..."

DVP 139 Iron Curtain – Danger Zone LP Box/LP/CD/MC/Merch – song premiere on Monday 9th
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/DangerZoneArtworkFACEBOOK-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present IRON CURTAIN's highly anticipated fourth album, Danger Zone, on CD, vinyl LP, cassette tape and digital formats.
For the past decade, Spain's IRON CURTAIN have become a veritable institution in the international true-metal underground. Road to Hell, their debut album from 2012, set the stage for their successive scene dominance. Forged in the fires of the early '80s, IRON CURTAIN's sound set forth a smorgasboard of grit and gleam equally, largely nodding to the eternal Motörhead as well as Tank, but also Canadian gods like Exciter and Razor, to the Teutonic might of early Iron Angel and Grave Digger, to Scandinavian gods OZ and Heavy Load, to cult American icons Abattoir and Savage Grace. Indeed, none more true were IRON CURTAIN - and they were here to stay! Two more revered full-lengths followed - 2013's Jaguar Spirit and 2016's Guilty as Charged - but now IRON CURTAIN are about to lift the veil on their most rocking record yet.
Fans since the beginning, DYING VICTIMS is honored to unleash that hot rocker in the form of Danger Zone, arguably IRON CURTAIN's magnum opus. Scaling back the speed that characterized the band earlier on, here do IRON CURTAIN work the sweet-spot mid-tempo, maximizing space and shade within these overtly more melodic gems. The production on Danger Zone is especially exquisite, retaining an era-authentic grittiness without sacrificing any latent heaviness. Not that "heaviness" per se is the prime directive on LP#4 - although, ripping opener "Wildlife" would suggest otherwise - rather, the cooly cruising dynamic these eight anthems take is far more suited to fist-shaking and pint-raising instead of thrashing like a maniac. Thus, hooks are huge, and any perceived "cleaning up" of the production pays off across these 33 electric minutes, culminating in the mesmerizingly moody climactic closer "Lonewolf."
Are you prepared to enter the Danger Zone? Let IRON CURTAIN show you the way!

DVP 140 Hexenbrett – Erste Beschwörung MLP - song premiere on Tuestday 10th
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/140-Hexenbrett-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXENBRETT's debut ooutput, Erste Beschwörung, on Mini LP and digital formats. Originally self-released at the end of 2018, this first summoning of the macabre HEXENBRETT is surely one of 2019's most nefarious recordings.
HEXENBRETT is an entity that provides cemetery sounds exclusively. The first invocation, fittingly entitled Erste Beschwörung, is a sample of what will follow in the future. Roaming ancient dungeons with sword in one hand and torch in the other, HEXENBRETT conjures the madness and mysticism of olde-worlde black metal, when unorthodoxy was celebrated and no blueprints yet existed – only paths to be blazed! Indeed does HEXENBRETT blaze across this four-song/19-minute offering, remaining firmly rooted in the purest metals but fanning those flames with a creepy, coffin-dwelling atmosphere that puts Erste Beschwörung in a league all its own, also incorporating eldritch doom and deathrock into this wildly bubbling cauldron. And it's early days still...
No boundaries, no limitations: HEXENBRETT digs its own unique grave with Erste Beschwörung, and the cemetery is wide-fucking-open. The spell was cast, the demons are here – let the haunting begin!

DVP 141 Sacrifizer – La Mort Triomphante LP – song premiere on Thursday 12th
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/COVER-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SACRIFIZER's debut mini-album, La Mort Triomphante, on vinyl LP and digital formats. Enhanced with the band's 2018 demo and one new track, the infernal majesty of La Mort Triomphante has now been expanded into full-length format.
Originally released earlier this year on limited-edition CD and cassette, La Mort Triomphante was SACRIFIZER's glorious burst from the underground. At five furious tracks and atmosphere-setting intro, La Mort Triomphante sounds much like its cover looks: icy yet fiery, galloping forward like evil invaders with a violent restitution. Indeed, SACRIFIZER are 100% cult speed metal sewn from ancient Canadian cloth, but other fibers from '80s France and Germany also comprise their patchwork of salacious speed and bestial devastation. Grounded in the more traditional end of speed metal, the quintet keep their songwriting focused and straightforward, maximizing hooks and never forgetting the eternal magick of a good guitar solo; even the production itself on La Mort Triomphante is era-authentic but never smacks of cheap retro-posturing. The same could be said for their debut demo, Night of the Razors, which is here amended to this special LP version. A bit more berzerker and dripping with diabolism, SACRIZER early on indeed exuded some Morsüre vibes. "Morbid Envenomation," the brand-new track exclusive to this vinyl LP, ends off the record with the band in full-on epic and EVIL mode, pointing the way toward SACRIFIZER's inevitable debut album, which is bound to be a modern classic...soon!

DVP 127 The Night Eternal – The Nigth Eternal MCD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/The-Night-End-Cover-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present THE NIGHT ETERNAL's striking debut EP, The Night Eternal, now also on Mini-CD format.
Although THE NIGHT ETERNAL's first public recording, already, these Germans are evincing the mastery of veterans. Across their three original compositions and a reverentially poignant cover of Judas Priest's "(Take These) Chains," the quintet concoct a supremely powerful and stirringly moody sort of heavy metal, both traditionally pure-steel in their dynamics yet also brimming with epicness and a sort of forlorn heroism. In fact, early '80s Judas Priest is an apt reference for The Night Eternal's night-prowling style, all gleaming chrome and classy, but bespeaking an ever-present darkness beneath that alluring exterior. Of course, hooks are massive as are the commanding vocals of frontman Ricardo, who's already on his way to being a first class heavy metal singer in his own right, but it's the chemistry among the five members of THE NIGHT ETERNAL that puts this beyond most other debut recordings: truly, their fire and fluidity are magick to behold! Appropriately moody cover art courtesy of Brouemaster Visual Decay.
DVP 138 Angel Blade – Angel Blade MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Cover-193x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ANGELBLADE's self-titled demo on cassette tape format.
Not much is known about this young three-piece, but one can say this for sure: These guys are deeply rooted in traditional heavy metal. Drawing their influence from the early days of the NWOBHM and Scandinavian heavy metal, they are out to create the rocking, obscure atmosphere of the early days.
The demo cassette contains 3 original tunes which show different facets and stir up hunger for more material.

DVP 134 Megaton Sword – Niralet MLP/MCD/T-Shirt
(https://i.ibb.co/WVvN9CX/134-Megaton-Sword.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEGATON SWORD's striking debut EP, Niralet, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Hailing from Switzerland and founded in 2018, MEGATON SWORD are ever aptly monikered: theirs is a nuclear-powered style of true-as-steel HEAVY METAL drunk on high fantasy and the enduring themes of conquest and valor, triumph and tragedy. The band's first public recording is titled Niralet, and it arrives as a fully formed document of a young band already capitalizing on their considerable strengths. The quartet - vocalist Uzzy Unchained, guitarist Chris the Axe, bassist Simon the Sorcerer, and drummer Dan Thundersteel - here create five mini-epics that feel far vaster than their succinct track times suggest. Perhaps it's the patient pacing they employ, allowing each bellow of bathos and push of pathos to ring out and as true as possible; perhaps it's the passion and machismo dripping from every element, every drop of blood, sweat, and tears tangible and intense; or perhaps it's Niralet simultaneously sounding timeless and fresh, safely evading both rote "retro" throwback and over-modernity in kind.
We can make references to '80s Manowar, Warlord, and Manilla Road as well as maybe early Running Wild or Nasty Savage, but even this early on, MEGATON SWORD are being no one but themselves. Wield MEGATON SWORD and begin the quest to Niralet! Suitably soothing 'n' eerie artwork courtesy of Adam Burke.

DVP 135 Midnight Prey – Uncertain Times LP/CD
(https://i.ibb.co/vsHHVLV/Midnight-Prey-Uncertain-Times-2.jpg)
DYING VICTIM PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MIDNIGHT PREY's highly anticipated debut album, Uncertain Times, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Honest rock music played on real instruments: this is MIDNIGHT PREY! In a feral-yet-atmospheric way, this German three-piece play an honest and powerful old-school kind of sound, anchored in the darkness.
When MIDNIGHT PREY was founded in 2013 by Hannes Ruhland (drums), Winston Ziller (guitars, vocals), and Daniel Friesen (bass), they had known each other for two more years since the age of 16-18, already having a bit of reharsal and live experience together and apart. From Venom to Frank Zappa, from Roxy Music to Bolt Thrower, from Rory Gallagher to Black Flag - almost nothing was taboo on their record players. Growing up together sharing their love for good handmade music of all kinds of varieties, they played their way through Germany's underground heavy metal stages and released a demo on tape called The Savage Sessions in 2013 via Witchhammer Productions. In 2014, a promo tape called Rehearsal Rites was exclusively sold at one show, containing rough recordings of the songs to come out on the following EP, Rite of Blood, which was released on CD, tape, and digital.
MIDNIGHT PREY moved from the southwest of Germany to Hamburg in 2015. After playing a lot of shows in Hamburg, there was the release of a 7" single called Blood Stained Streets, which underlines their romance for the dirty, booze-soaked streets of St. Pauli (Hamburg). Now, at long last, their debut album, ominously titled Uncertain Times, is nearing release, and the power-trio are more than ready to unleash their sheer energy onto the world!
Indeed, energy is in abundance across Uncertain Times, but tempered with a focus and clarity that suggest the work of veterans. Skillfully working with space and shade, the songwriting retains an urgency but is never in a rush to the finish line, either; MIDNIGHT PREY just play it cool and keep the heads banging and fists pumping. Likewise, with that ever-present energy, they wisely don't over-distort or saturate their sound, keeping a clean-yet-gritty aspect that reverently straddles their many stylistic inspirations. Whether it's '70s hard rock, '80s heavy metal, or classic punk and speed metal, MIDNIGHT PREY mix it all into one addicting concoction that simply demands total thralldom - and repeat plays!
Uncertain Times is ageless wisdom spoken sagely in complicated, all-too-modern times...and it's time for MIDNIGHT PREY!

DVP 136 Galaxy – Lost From the Start MLP/MCD
(https://i.ibb.co/DRLwvnt/Galaxy-Lost-from-the-Start.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present GALAXY's striking debut mini-album, Lost From the Start, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
GALAXY is a band from Melbourne, Australia. In choosing the name GALAXY, their mission is to channel the cosmic power of heavy metal, and share it with those who will take up the challenge - to join them on a musical odyssey as far as the imagination will allow.
GALAXY tip their hats to the speed metal and traditional heavy metal acts of the 1980s with their untamed and spirited MLP, Lost From the Start. A force of musical beauty, terrifying in its splendor, it brings to mind '80s Riot, Satan, Megadeth and the classic years of Judas Priest, with manic thrash elements evoking the glory days of heavy music.
Lost From the Start has a dynamic production that appropriately captures the ferocity and emotion the songs exude. Mastering duties for the MLP were handled by none other than Andy La Rocque at his very own Sonic Train Studios, ensuring the maximum potential of the recording was achieved. The stunning gatefold cover art was created by talented Melbourne artist Keelan Ashton-Bell, presenting a sci-fi-inspired alien desert world which prepares the listener for the epic voyage ahead.
With a professional and high-octane live presentation in tow, the band brings a message of joy and madness, tales of love and loss, songs of fear and courage. Join GALAXY on their journey, Lost From the Start.

Following up their 2016 release Satan's Heavy Metal, Aggressive Perfector's debut full length, Havoc At The Midnight Hour, finds the English trio in resolutely evil form as they take a major step forward on their path of destruction.
Embracing a wealth of haunted sounds and textures, this sepulchral slab of metal conjures an atmosphere rich in the romantic repugnance of horror's past masters which it uses the setting for a 37 minute nightmare of nocturnal menace, occult fascination and bloody vengeance.
Summoning the ghosts of Metal past - Tank, Slayer, Venom and Mercyful Fate all playing a part- Havoc... fixates on the nuclear fury of an apocalyptic future, from which it culls new ways to pervert the course of heavy metal in the present.
Follow Aggressive Perfector into the nightmare when Havoc At The Midnight hour is released on November 22nd.

DVP 137 Matterhorn – Crass Cleansing LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/MATTERHORN_CRASS_CLEANSING_19-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIM PRODUCTIONS and REDEFINING DARKNESS RECORDS are proud to announce 22nd November as the international release date of the advanced label version of MATTERHORN's debut album "Crass Cleansing" on LP, CD and Digital formats:
"Today marks a very special day to us, as we can say that our debut album «Crass Cleansing» is going to be released on vinyl for the first time on label!! Not only for the purpose of restocking our nearly gone self-released vinyl, not as plain second pressing or re-release, we used this happy chance to bring you the reworked & advanced label edition. Soldiered through the messy fap of what was the original reproduction, this is now something we're cool to say we're being proud of in a new level... Reworked to come closer of how you know our songs live, to fit our vision and most important, to show the group's capability as an outstanding and inventive group, more precisely... Remixed by JB "Wonderwall" Van Der Wal because he understands the band. Remastered. Also it's advanced to completion by two new live recorded bonus tracks «Bydying» and «Clarity», to show an insight on our forthcoming sophomore album, presenting the band in its actual state and to cut the biased sights on what we do. The new playtime is 49 minutes. All new artworks and layouts. It will be out in November on CD/Vinyl and streaming. We are happy to have found the two partners Dying Victims Productions and Redefining Darkness Records (US version) to make this possible! Our deepest gratitude!If you hated it, you may hate it for new reasons, if you loved it, you will surely love it for new reasons anew! More info to come ..."

DVP 138 Angel Blade – Angel Blade MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Cover-193x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ANGELBLADE's self-titled demo on cassette tape format.
Not much is known about this young three-piece, however, one can say this for sure. These guys are deeply rooted in traditional heavy metal. They draw their influence from the early days of the NWOBHM and Scandinavian heavy metal. And they are out to create the rocking, obscure atmosphere of the early days.
The demo cassette contains 3 original tunes which show different facets and stir up hunger for more material.

DVP 127 The Night Eternal – The Night Eternal MCD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/The-Night-End-Cover-300x300.jpg)
Due to many requests, DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present THE NIGHT ETERNAL's striking debut EP now also on CD format.
Although THE NIGHT ETERNAL's first public recording, already, these Germans are evincing the mastery of veterans. Across their three original compositions and a reverentially poignant cover of Judas Priest's "(Take These) Chains," the quintet concoct a supremely powerful and stirringly moody sort of heavy metal, both traditionally pure-steel in their dynamics yet also brimming with epicness and a sort of forlorn heroism. In fact, early '80s Judas Priest is an apt reference for The Night Eternal's night-prowling style, all gleaming chrome and classy, but bespeaking an ever-present darkness beneath that alluring exterior. Of course, hooks are massive as are the commanding vocals of frontman Ricardo, who's already on his way to being a first class heavy metal singer in his own right, but it's the chemistry among the five members of THE NIGHT ETERNAL that puts this beyond most other debut recordings: truly, their fire and fluidity are magick to behold! Appropriately moody cover art courtesy of Brouemaster Visual Decay.

DVP 139 Iron Curtain – Danger Zone LP/CD/MC/Merch
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/DVP-139-Iron-Curtain-Danger-Zone-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present IRON CURTAIN's highly anticipated fourth album, Danger Zone, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
For the past decade, Spain's IRON CURTAIN have become a veritable institution in the international true-metal underground. Road to Hell, their debut album from 2012, set the stage for their successive scene dominance. Forged in the fires of the early '80s, IRON CURTAIN's sound set forth a smorgasboard of grit and gleam equally, largely nodding to the eternal Motörhead as well as Tank, but also Canadian gods like Exciter and Razor, to the Teutonic might of early Iron Angel and Grave Digger, to Scandinavian gods OZ and Heavy Load, to cult American icons Abattoir and Savage Grace. Indeed, none more true were IRON CURTAIN - and they were here to stay! Two more revered full-lengths followed - 2013's Jaguar Spirit and 2016's Guilty as Charged - but now IRON CURTAIN are about to lift the veil on their most rocking record yet.
Fans since the beginning, DYING VICTIMS is honored to unleash that hot rocker in the form of Danger Zone, arguably IRON CURTAIN's magnum opus. Scaling back the speed that characterized the band earlier on, here do IRON CURTAIN work the sweet-spot mid-tempo, maximizing space and shade within these overtly more melodic gems. The production on Danger Zone is especially exquisite, retaining an era-authentic grittiness without sacrificing any latent heaviness. Not that "heaviness" per se is the prime directive on LP#4 - although, ripping opener "Wildlife" would suggest otherwise - rather, the cooly cruising dynamic these eight anthems take is far more suited to fist-shaking and pint-raising instead of thrashing like a maniac. Thus, hooks are huge, and any perceived "cleaning up" of the production pays off across these 33 electric minutes, culminating in the mesmerizingly moody climactic closer "Lonewolf."
Are you prepared to enter the Danger Zone? Let IRON CURTAIN show you the way!

DVP 140 Hexenbrett – Erste Beschwörung MLP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/140-Hexenbrett-1-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXENBRETT's debut ooutput, Erste Beschwörung, on Mini LP and digital formats. Originally self-released at the end of 2018, this first summoning of the macabre HEXENBRETT is surely one of 2019's most nefarious recordings.
HEXENBRETT is an entity that provides cemetery sounds exclusively. The first invocation, fittingly entitled Erste Beschwörung, is a sample of what will follow in the future. Roaming ancient dungeons with sword in one hand and torch in the other, HEXENBRETT conjures the madness and mysticism of olde-worlde black metal, when unorthodoxy was celebrated and no blueprints yet existed – only paths to be blazed! Indeed does HEXENBRETT blaze across this four-song/19-minute offering, remaining firmly rooted in the purest metals but fanning those flames with a creepy, coffin-dwelling atmosphere that puts Erste Beschwörung in a league all its own, also incorporating eldritch doom and deathrock into this wildly bubbling cauldron. And it's early days still...
No boundaries, no limitations: HEXENBRETT digs its own unique grave with Erste Beschwörung, and the cemetery is wide-fucking-open. The spell was cast, the demons are here – let the haunting begin!

DVP 141 Sacrifizer – La Mort Triomphante LP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/COVER-1-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SACRIFIZER's debut mini-album, La Mort Triomphante, on vinyl LP format. Enhanced with the band's 2018 demo and one new track, the infernal majesty of La Mort Triomphante has now been expanded into full-length format.
Originally released earlier this year on limited-edition CD and cassette, La Mort Triomphante was SACRIFIZER's glorious burst from the underground. At five furious tracks and atmosphere-setting intro, La Mort Triomphante sounds much like its cover looks: icy yet fiery, galloping forward like evil invaders with a violent restitution. Indeed, SACRIFIZER are 100% cult speed metal sewn from ancient Canadian cloth, but other fibers from '80s France and Germany also comprise their patchwork of salacious speed and bestial devastation. Grounded in the more traditional end of speed metal, the quintet keep their songwriting focused and straightforward, maximizing hooks and never forgetting the eternal magick of a good guitar solo; even the production itself on La Mort Triomphante is era-authentic but never smacks of cheap retro-posturing. The same could be said for their debut demo, Night of the Razors, which is here amended to this special LP version. A bit more berzerker and dripping with diabolism, SACRIZER early on indeed exuded some Morsüre vibes. "Morbid Envenomation," the brand-new track exclusive to this vinyl LP, ends off the record with the band in full-on epic and EVIL mode, pointing the way toward SACRIFIZER's inevitable debut album, which is bound to be a modern classic...soon!

DVP 142 Midas – Demo Tapes LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/MIDASdemoscover-300x288.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the first two demos of MIDAS on vinyl LP format under the title Demo Tapes.
Hailing from the mean streets of Detroit, MIDAS are a four-piece band of hard rock warriors. Theirs is an ancient, time-lost sound, recalling rock 'n' roll's first transitions into proto-metal during the hazy, crazy '70s. But, MIDAS are not simply retro-retread plagiarists looking to (hazily, lazily) replicate the past; this era and style of music BURNS within them, and it bursts forth with effervescence and excitement across their two demos to date.
Both released during 2019, MIDAS' Solid Gold Heavy Metal and Still Hungry each feature four effervescent, exciting songs, and both trounce most bands regular recordings. Brimming with a startling, stultifying confidence, Solid Gold Heavy Metal (which occupies Side A of this DYING VICTIMS vinyl edition) patiently builds eldritch grooves guided by narrative lead work. There's a subtle yet no-less-dazzling mysticism here recalling earliest Scorpions, Judas Priest, and even trio-era Thin Lizzy – just witness the demo's eerily breathtaking closer, "Blackened Blade" – as well as subsequent legends Manilla Road and Cirith Ungol. The heavier stylings of the latter begin to come to the fore on Still Hungry, here occupying Side B. Now fully into late '70s heavy metal mode, MIDAS move beyond the moodiness of their first demo to more epic and fantastical landscapes, kicking up the octane and cruising into the night with the ever-aptly titled "Street Knights." Together, both demos could verily hold together as an exceptionally tight 'n' thematic album-length work.
DYING VICTIMS couldn't be more excited to unleash the majesty 'n' mysticism of America's MIDAS to a worldwide audience. Take a trip back in time – and into the future – with Demo Tapes!

DVP 144 Crypt Dagger – From Below MLP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/cover-3-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present CRYPT DAGGER's From Below mini-album on 12" vinyl format.
Like a brightly burning star, CRYPT DAGGER burst into the night at the dawn of 2019. A two-song rehearsal introduced their boisterous, belligerent ways before the four-song Tales of Torment EP followed. Here, the full rapacious nature of CRYPT DAGGER revealed itself with rudeness and crudeness: filth-banging, black-as-pitch SPEED METAL with a heavy debt to punk, as well as such surprising influences as Devo, The Mummies, and early B-52s. And it was only the start!
Now, under the guiding gaze of DYING VICTIMS, CRYPT DAGGER shall spring from the gutter and into heavy metal vomit parties worldwide with From Below! Comprising eight songs in a swift 'n' satisfying 24 minutes, this special MLP comprises the four tracks of Tales of Torment with three more brand-new ones as well as an all-too-fitting cult cover of Dead Moon. Names vividly invoked include Carnivore, Razor, Hallows Eve, Nasty Savage, Living Death, and of course earliest Bathory and Venom, but all done with Road Warrior sense of style: maximum overdrive, total penetration! And again, this is only the start...
Go way, way down with CRYPT DAGGER's From Below – only for the creepiest of creeps!

(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Cover-2-198x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SCHIZOPHRENIA's debut ep "Voices" on cassette.
Despite their first output, the 4-piece from Belgium executes the four tracks in a highly energetic old school Death Metal manner, inspired by the likes of Morbid Angel, Sepultura, Slayer or Dark Angel. The band shows that brutal death thrash like Demolition Hammer or Morbid Saint has yet to see its downfall.

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BÜTCHER's 2nd album "666 Goats Carry My Chariot" on cassette.
Deeply rooted in classic speed metal, the Belgian 4-piece, however, incorporates influences ranging from old thrash, NWOBHM/heavy to black metal and have forged a ripper of a 2nd album. Yet even though their sound on record is fantastic, one can only understand this band after witnessing one of their furious live shows!

DVP 143 Karloff – Raw Nights MLP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/karloff3500-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KARLOFF's debut mini-album, Raw Nights, on 12" vinyl and digital formats.
Forming in 2018, KARLOFF hail from Germany, helmed by erstwhile Graveyard Ghoul member Tom Horrified alongside a couple close comrades. But compared to that band's old-school death metal stylings, KARLOFF go in a more punk-oriented direction – more street than cavern, as it were – with a sound self-described as "raw obscure punk turns into blackness."
KARLOFF did exactly that with their debut Demo '18, three thirsty 'n' miserable tracks of street-walking napalm. But things got more twisted 'n' pissed with the following Raw Nights a year later. Like a more gutter-level Midnight, here did KARLOFF kick out the (creepy) jams, strutting with sleazy confidence and an infectious sense of bash/crash/slash that struck deep into the heart of what makes the best of both punk and metal. Of course, that blackened singe is never far away, and gives KARLOFF's canon that ever-special twist of ancient evil.
Fans from the very beginning, now does DYING VICTIMS combine both recordings onto one longer-playing format, under the title Raw Nights. Raw is this night in-fucking-deed, and you get eight quick-hitting tracks in a tantalizing 20 minutes, graced with new cover art courtesy of Tom Horrified and Jan Utecht of Occvlta. Go hard, go fast, go free: KARLOFF compel you to partake generously in Raw Nights!

DVP 147 Warlust – Unearthing Shattered Philosophies LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Warlust-Unearthing-Shattered-Philosophies-Cover-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Germany's WARLUST, Unearthing Shattered Philosophies, on CD, vinyl LP and digital formats.
One of the metal underground's best-kept secrets, WARLUST began their assault on the false in 2012. The title of their debut demo, 2014's Unholy Attack, said everything it needed to: here was blackthrashing METAL, steeped in the spirits of old and with genuinely evil blood coursing through its veins. However, it was 2017's Morbid Execution debut album where WARLUST first truly took flight – on burning wings of flame! More intense, more epic, more heavy fucking metal, Morbid Execution carried on the noble work started by founding fathers Desaster in their homeland and Deströyer 666, Zemial, and Aura Noir abroad.
But, while that debut LP was still tethered to more traditional-style blackthrash, with Unearthing Shattered Philosophies do WARLUST's songwriting chops blossom with startling strength and crushing clarity. It's all immediately WARLUST, for sure, but within the album's eight-song/45-minute runtime lurks a travelogue of terror and triumph, of melancholy and malevolence. Calling it more "epic" would be accurate, but that only tells half the story, if at all; allowing oneself to be swept away by both teeth-gnashing thrash sprints and strident, swords-aloft marches is more representative of the experience, of total possession, in thrall to the eternal and unyielding spirit of Hell's heavy metal. Likewise, WARLUST's command of dynamics here is impressive, to say the very least: part and parcel of those more epic stylings, the narrative flow within each track and then from one track to the next takes the band into the upper echelon of nowadays evil metal. And the band's melodicism is, as ever, simultaneously cryogenic and burning hot to the touch in the grand tradition of classic Dissection and Necrophobic.
Better yet, gaze deeply into the moody art work Unearthing Shattered Philosophies and see where WARLUST lead you!

DVP 148 Sandstorm – Time to Strike LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Sandstorm-Cover-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut album of Canada's SANDSTORM, Time to Strike, on 12" vinyl and CD formats.
Hailing from Vancouver, SANDSTORM are a power-trio in the grand tradition: PJ "The Butcher" La Griffe on drums, Reptile Anderson on lead vocals & bass guitar, and Stevie "Broke" Whiteless on lead vocals & guitar. The band formed during the winter 2017 and were initially inspired by '80s Swedish underground metal, the original NWOBHM movement, and "Rob Halford's Instagram account." While knowing (and fully embracing) all of heavy metal's over-the-top aesthetics at the dawn of the 1980s, it became immediately apparent that SANDSTORM were indeed the Real fucking Deal when faced with their debut album, Time to Strike.
In early 2019, SANDSTORM digitally released Time to Strike and did a self-released run of 100 CDs and tapes, all of which sold out quickly, and for good reason: here was glorious (and gloriously scrappy) pre-speed/thrash HEAVY METAL in the literally ancient, sword-wielding style so favored in the early '80s, rendered in such authentic (and authentically over-the-top) style, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this was some unearthed relic from the era. Nothing's overdriven here, and everything moves at a patient yet hot-rocking pace; all strings suitably retain a strong sense of rock 'n' roll, pared back in distortion to allow the medieval melodicism to work its magick. And, like all the best early true metal, the vocals are clear and authoritative and just high-pitched enough to evoke that misty 'n' mystical sensation. And although Time to Strike comprises but six songs, each one's a mini-epic in its own right, making the album a compact but somehow expansive 35 minutes.
Many references could be made to Time to Strike, but no specific one in particular – that's just how infectious and charismatic SANDSTORM are. And this is only the beginning, with more new material due later this year on DYING VICTIMS. Additionally, SANDSTORM will play Sweden's esteemed Muskelrock fest this year, which perfectly suits the band's obscure 'n' old-school take on heavy metal. Fuck yeah, it's Time to Strike!

DVP 149 Zatyr – Ornament of Proposition MLP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Zatyr-cover-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ZATYR's striking debut EP, Ornament of Proposition, on 12" vinyl and digital formats.
Hailing from Sweden and forming in 2019, ZATYR quickly set to work on their debut EP – plus, speaking of "set," their vocalist Set used to be in the beloved Devil Lee Rot. Titled Ornament of Proposition, the band's first public recording was released digitally in September of that year, and proudly displayed an otherwise-new band brimming with the fire of the ancients and confidence to spare. Indeed, ZATYR here sounded authentically old, casting their gaze across the darkest and classiest currents of classic heavy metal singed with a touch of first-wave black metal. But, paradoxically, the quartet just as ably burned with the enthusiasm of feral youngbloods, imbuing the EP's three tracks with boundless passion.
Seeing fit to foster the rich lifeblood of the heavy metal underground, DYING VICTIMS grants ZATYR's debut EP on a new lease on life, rendering it onto black gold and including an exclusive bonus track, now encompassing a total of 18 stout minutes. Truly, this re-release shall rightfully expose ZATYR to the wider metal landscape, boldly emblazoning "The Devil's Rock 'n' Roll" across the hearts and minds of those who hail ancient heavy metal and black metal alike. Names to be referenced include early Running Wild, Mercyful Fate, Omen, Brocas Helm, Death SS and even Bathory's transition from Blood Fire Death to Hammerheart, but all done with an addicting zeal that's entirely ZATYR's alone. Open thy ears and allow Ornament of Proposition to recast its spells!

DVP 150 Hexenbrett - Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten LP/CD/MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Hexenbrett-Zweite-Beschw%C3%B6rung-Cover-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXENBRETT's highly anticipated debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
It was at the dawn of 2019 when a strange little demo inconspicuously announced itself from the other side and introduced the sound of the bloody iris. Titled Erste Beschwörung, it was the first public recording of one HEXENBRETT, the work of a mysterious duo revealing themselves as Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolétte. This was a literal bolt from the blue, sounds that were as refreshingly new as they were authentically old. "Cemetery sounds" is what the band called them, but that only told half the story. Wild and wily, HEXENBRETT unloaded a dizzying payload of sounds both traditional and unorthodox, dumping into its hot-rockin' cauldron spices from first-wave black metal, Iron Curtain-era speed metal, outsider doom, and even old-school deathrock. It was a kaleidoscopic spin, and caught the attention of Caligari Records (who did a wider cassette release) and then DYING VICTIMS with their 12" vinyl version toward the end of the year. Lots of other, strange-starved ears picked up on it, too.
The stage thus set, HEXENBRETT proceeds to defy expectations and obliterate the slate with its debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten. A record of stark contrasts, Zweite Beschwörung immediately sounds definitively like HEXENBRETT: roaming ancient cemeteries with a torch in hand, conjuring the madness and mysticism of early black metal, when unorthodoxy was celebrated and no blueprints yet existed – only paths to be blazed! But, that latter element is precisely where Zweite Beschwörung takes a different turn, delving into waters both more refined and more rarefied, more straightforward and more obtuse – more METAL, epic and outlandish and "true," but decidedly in an un-metal manner – beguiling the senses either way, and addictively so. It's a turn that's directly inspired by such sources as varied as Varathron, Jean Rollin, Danzig, Goblin, and Van Halen, and yet emerging completely unique and unlike little else around. A diverse journey through mouldy crypts and deranged minds, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten features eight original tracks and an astonishing cover of Townes Van Zandt's "The Spider Song".
Quite commandingly, HEXENBRETT reveal an uncanny knack for songcraft, building defined and endearing hooks that unfold unexpectedly yet thrillingly, the intensity constantly rising and falling with preternatural ease but always in service of the song. Elsewhere, the band coats its creations with subtle layers of synth, further fanning that otherworldly atmosphere that laid in wait across the demo while ragged aggression usually took over. Which is all to say nothing of the absolutely spellbinding chimes often employed, evoking a banquet of horror with an almost-filmic quality in line with the band's love for European cult cinema. And, fittingly, the production across Zweite Beschwörung is richly analog, scrappy but shimmering, evincing a totality of design and just-professional-enough presentation without sacrificing the entity's original ethics. Like most first albums should be, the tale of HEXENBRETT truly begins here.
If there was ever any question about HEXENBRETT's singular nature, just beginning to bloom, simply gaze upon the cover art to Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten. All other paths blazed, this is the only one left, and it's HEXENBRETT's alone... The dead will dance, expect the unexpected!

DVP 151 Tøronto - Under Siege MLP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/UnderSiege-Cover-small-300x300.png)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TØRONTO's striking debut mini-album, Under Siege, on 12" vinyl and digital formats.
Hailing from Sweden, TØRONTO formed in 2017, partly out of the ashes of the sorely missed Morbus Chron – vocalist/guitarist Edvin Aftonfalk and bassist Dag Landin, here under the stage names Eddie Flawless and 79-83, respectively – and also powerhouse drummer Leo Ekström Sollenmo, from the well-respected Lethal Steel and Temisto, under the name Lt. Oxtreme as well as one Seb Cyborg on guitars. With this lineup in place, the quartet released their debut demo in 2018 and then the Nocturnal High tape on DYING VICTIMS later that year. That latter title alone suggested that something strange 'n' salacious was indeed afoot...
And it is! Wanna get nocturnal higher? Then become Under Siege! Encompassing the strides they made across their two demos, TØRONTO's first longer-playing record is a rush of weird 'n' wild speed metal heavily informed by hardcore punk. Put simply, one could imagine the sound of Under Siege as greased-up NWOBHM colliding headlong into early Razor and Warfare, but overseen by Inepsy, mid '80s Discharge, and even Howard Benson-era Motörhead. Shit shreds, fast and free, each raucous-yet-rockin' section charging into the night but equally exuding an unselfconsciously subtle minimalism that somehow gets these eight bangers over and done with in an average of barely two minutes each. Put another way, one could also imagine the zombified spirit of Morbus Chron holding court here, in the sense that that band both embodied and defied death metal; TØRONTO similarly does such with speed metal, but again renders it into an alternately ideal/oblique form that's entirely theirs – and this is just the start.
While maybe not as off-the-wall weird as GISM's NWOBHM/noise mélange M.A.N., TØRONTO are treading comparably rarified ground with Under Siege, and their trajectory into the strange is assured. Get with their program or get out of the way!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the first two demos of MIDAS on vinyl LP format under the title Demo Tapes.
Hailing from the mean streets of Detroit, MIDAS are a four-piece band of hard rock warriors. Theirs is an ancient, time-lost sound, recalling rock 'n' roll's first transitions into proto-metal during the hazy, crazy '70s. But, MIDAS are not simply retro-retread plagiarists looking to (hazily, lazily) replicate the past; this era and style of music BURNS within them, and it bursts forth with effervescence and excitement across their two demos to date.
Both released during 2019, MIDAS' Solid Gold Heavy Metal and Still Hungry each feature four effervescent, exciting songs, and both trounce most bands regular recordings. Brimming with a startling, stultifying confidence, Solid Gold Heavy Metal (which occupies Side A of this DYING VICTIMS vinyl edition) patiently builds eldritch grooves guided by narrative lead work. There's a subtle yet no-less-dazzling mysticism here recalling earliest Scorpions, Judas Priest, and even trio-era Thin Lizzy – just witness the demo's eerily breathtaking closer, "Blackened Blade" – as well as subsequent legends Manilla Road and Cirith Ungol. The heavier stylings of the latter begin to come to the fore on Still Hungry, here occupying Side B. Now fully into late '70s heavy metal mode, MIDAS move beyond the moodiness of their first demo to more epic and fantastical landscapes, kicking up the octane and cruising into the night with the ever-aptly titled "Street Knights." Together, both demos could verily hold together as an exceptionally tight 'n' thematic album-length work.
DYING VICTIMS couldn't be more excited to unleash the majesty 'n' mysticism of America's MIDAS to a worldwide audience. Take a trip back in time – and into the future – with Demo Tapes!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present CRYPT DAGGER's From Below mini-album on 12" vinyl format.
Like a brightly burning star, CRYPT DAGGER burst into the night at the dawn of 2019. A two-song rehearsal introduced their boisterous, belligerent ways before the four-song Tales of Torment EP followed. Here, the full rapacious nature of CRYPT DAGGER revealed itself with rudeness and crudeness: filth-banging, black-as-pitch SPEED METAL with a heavy debt to punk, as well as such surprising influences as Devo, The Mummies, and early B-52s. And it was only the start!
Now, under the guiding gaze of DYING VICTIMS, CRYPT DAGGER shall spring from the gutter and into heavy metal vomit parties worldwide with From Below! Comprising eight songs in a swift 'n' satisfying 24 minutes, this special MLP comprises the four tracks of Tales of Torment with three more brand-new ones as well as an all-too-fitting cult cover of Dead Moon. Names vividly invoked include Carnivore, Razor, Hallows Eve, Nasty Savage, Living Death, and of course earliest Bathory and Venom, but all done with Road Warrior sense of style: maximum overdrive, total penetration! And again, this is only the start...
Go way, way down with CRYPT DAGGER's From Below – only for the creepiest of creeps!

DVP 152 Death Racer – Qualifying MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/racer-outside-300x297.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DEATH RACER's debut demo "Qualifying" on music cassette.
Three maniacs from Austria were brought together by their evil appreciation of burning rubber on hot asphalt. Bruce Pirelli, Frankenstein and Johnny Brise are all experienced musicians in bands such as Kringa, Hagzissa, Eisenhand or Chainbreaker, yet decided they needed to hail SPEED METAL enhanced with nods to rough heavy metal and gnarly punk attitude. Care for some insane shrieks close to Deathhammer, then put on your helmet and get into your racer. After all, what is more insane than speeding with 300 km/h and crashing straight into a concrete wall?

DVP 140 Hexenbrett - Erste Beschwörung MCD edition + MLP Repress

HEXENBRETT is an entity that provides cemetery sounds exclusively. The first invocation, fittingly entitled Erste Beschwörung, is a sample of what will follow in the future. Roaming ancient dungeons with sword in one hand and torch in the other, HEXENBRETT conjures the madness and mysticism of olde-worlde black metal, when unorthodoxy was celebrated and no blueprints yet existed - only paths to be blazed! Indeed does HEXENBRETT blaze across this four-song/19-minute offering, remaining firmly rooted in the purest metals but fanning those flames with a creepy, coffin-dwelling atmosphere that puts Erste Beschwörung in a league all its own, also incorporating eldritch doom and deathrock into this wildly bubbling cauldron. And it's early days still...
No boundaries, no limitations: HEXENBRETT digs its own unique grave with Erste Beschwörung, and the cemetery is wide-fucking-open. The spell was cast, the demons are here - let the haunting begin!

DVP 127 The Night Eternal – The Night Eternal MLP Repress

Although THE NIGHT ETERNAL's first public recording, already, these Germans are evincing the mastery of veterans. Across their three original compositions and a reverentially poignant cover of Judas Priest's "(Take These) Chains," the quintet concoct a supremely powerful and stirringly moody sort of heavy metal, both traditionally pure-steel in their dynamics yet also brimming with epicness and a sort of forlorn heroism. In fact, early '80s Judas Priest is an apt reference for The Night Eternal's night-prowling style, all gleaming chrome and classy, but bespeaking an ever-present darkness beneath that alluring exterior. Of course, hooks are massive as are the commanding vocals of frontman Ricardo, who's already on his way to being a first class heavy metal singer in his own right, but it's the chemistry among the five members of THE NIGHT ETERNAL that puts this beyond most other debut recordings: truly, their fire and fluidity are magick to behold! Appropriately moody cover art courtesy of Brouemaster Visual Decay.

DVP 143 Karloff – Raw Nights MLP

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KARLOFF's debut mini-album, Raw Nights, on 12" vinyl and digital formats.
Forming in 2018, KARLOFF hail from Germany, helmed by erstwhile Graveyard Ghoul member Tom Horrified alongside a couple close comrades. But compared to that band's old-school death metal stylings, KARLOFF go in a more punk-oriented direction – more street than cavern, as it were – with a sound self-described as "raw obscure punk turns into blackness."
KARLOFF did exactly that with their debut Demo '18, three thirsty 'n' miserable tracks of street-walking napalm. But things got more twisted 'n' pissed with the following Raw Nights a year later. Like a more gutter-level Midnight, here did KARLOFF kick out the (creepy) jams, strutting with sleazy confidence and an infectious sense of bash/crash/slash that struck deep into the heart of what makes the best of both punk and metal. Of course, that blackened singe is never far away, and gives KARLOFF's canon that ever-special twist of ancient evil.
Fans from the very beginning, now does DYING VICTIMS combine both recordings onto one longer-playing format, under the title Raw Nights. Raw is this night in-fucking-deed, and you get eight quick-hitting tracks in a tantalizing 20 minutes, graced with new cover art courtesy of Tom Horrified and Jan Utecht of Occvlta. Go hard, go fast, go free: KARLOFF compel you to partake generously in Raw Nights!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Germany's WARLUST, Unearthing Shattered Philosophies, on CD, vinyl LP and digital formats.
One of the metal underground's best-kept secrets, WARLUST began their assault on the false in 2012. The title of their debut demo, 2014's Unholy Attack, said everything it needed to: here was blackthrashing METAL, steeped in the spirits of old and with genuinely evil blood coursing through its veins. However, it was 2017's Morbid Execution debut album where WARLUST first truly took flight – on burning wings of flame! More intense, more epic, more heavy fucking metal, Morbid Execution carried on the noble work started by founding fathers Desaster in their homeland and Deströyer 666, Zemial, and Aura Noir abroad.
But, while that debut LP was still tethered to more traditional-style blackthrash, with Unearthing Shattered Philosophies do WARLUST's songwriting chops blossom with startling strength and crushing clarity. It's all immediately WARLUST, for sure, but within the album's eight-song/45-minute runtime lurks a travelogue of terror and triumph, of melancholy and malevolence. Calling it more "epic" would be accurate, but that only tells half the story, if at all; allowing oneself to be swept away by both teeth-gnashing thrash sprints and strident, swords-aloft marches is more representative of the experience, of total possession, in thrall to the eternal and unyielding spirit of Hell's heavy metal. Likewise, WARLUST's command of dynamics here is impressive, to say the very least: part and parcel of those more epic stylings, the narrative flow within each track and then from one track to the next takes the band into the upper echelon of nowadays evil metal. And the band's melodicism is, as ever, simultaneously cryogenic and burning hot to the touch in the grand tradition of classic Dissection and Necrophobic.
Better yet, gaze deeply into the moody art work Unearthing Shattered Philosophies and see where WARLUST lead you!

DVP 148 Sandstorm – Time to Strike LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Sandstorm-Cover-300x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Sandstorm-LP-2-946x1024-1-277x300.jpg)

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut album of Canada's SANDSTORM, Time to Strike, on 12" vinyl and CD formats.
Hailing from Vancouver, SANDSTORM are a power-trio in the grand tradition: PJ "The Butcher" La Griffe on drums, Reptile Anderson on lead vocals & bass guitar, and Stevie "Broke" Whiteless on lead vocals & guitar. The band formed during the winter 2017 and were initially inspired by '80s Swedish underground metal, the original NWOBHM movement, and "Rob Halford's Instagram account." While knowing (and fully embracing) all of heavy metal's over-the-top aesthetics at the dawn of the 1980s, it became immediately apparent that SANDSTORM were indeed the Real fucking Deal when faced with their debut album, Time to Strike.
In early 2019, SANDSTORM digitally released Time to Strike and did a self-released run of 100 CDs and tapes, all of which sold out quickly, and for good reason: here was glorious (and gloriously scrappy) pre-speed/thrash HEAVY METAL in the literally ancient, sword-wielding style so favored in the early '80s, rendered in such authentic (and authentically over-the-top) style, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this was some unearthed relic from the era. Nothing's overdriven here, and everything moves at a patient yet hot-rocking pace; all strings suitably retain a strong sense of rock 'n' roll, pared back in distortion to allow the medieval melodicism to work its magick. And, like all the best early true metal, the vocals are clear and authoritative and just high-pitched enough to evoke that misty 'n' mystical sensation. And although Time to Strike comprises but six songs, each one's a mini-epic in its own right, making the album a compact but somehow expansive 35 minutes.
Many references could be made to Time to Strike, but no specific one in particular – that's just how infectious and charismatic SANDSTORM are. And this is only the beginning, with more new material due later this year on DYING VICTIMS. Additionally, SANDSTORM will play Sweden's esteemed Muskelrock fest this year, which perfectly suits the band's obscure 'n' old-school take on heavy metal. Fuck yeah, it's Time to Strike!

DVP 153 Coltre – Under the Influence LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/ColtreFrontCoverOriginal-small-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present COLTRE's striking debut, Under the Influence, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
COLTRE was forged in London, England by guitarists Daniel Sweed and Marco Stamigna in May 2019. They met at a Midnight concert and decided to form a band inspired by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. They started rehearsing, and by the beginning of 2020 had recorded the four-song EP Under the Influence, to be released in time for their first gig, supporting Witchtower at Boston Music Rooms.
The band self-released Under the Influence on CD and digital formats, but now DYING VICTIMS steps forward to champion COLTRE's cause and release it as a five-song work, featuring an exclusive new track. Rough and rustic but brimming with an authentically ancient fire, Under the Influence is moody metallic majesty: dark 'n' mysterious riffs, portentously galloping rhythms, epic-yet-direct compositions, and the sage-like pipes of Stagmina atop it all. One could be mistaken for thinking COLTRE were some unearthed relic from the original NWOBHM movement, so hot-rockin' is their swords-aloft surge, evoking high fantasy and urban grit in equal measure, and crucially retaining that pivotal rock 'n' roll thrust Thin Lizzy largely gifted to that movement.
But COLTRE are their own men, and as reverential as they are of these enduring paradigms, Under the Influence is undoubtedly its own creation, its own wild world. You are hereby compelled to go under THEIR influence!

DVP 154 Deathstorm – For Dread Shall Reign LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Deathstorm-For-Dread-Shall-Reign-small-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fourth album of Austria's DEATHSTORM, For Dread Shall Reign, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
A veritable institution by now, DEATHSTORM have been flying the flag of hate for a decade now, releasing albums on such well-regarded labels as I Hate and High Roller. DEATHSTORM delivered a swift 'n' sweet EP for DYING VICTIMS titled The Gallows in 2015, and now the power-trio return to the label for their most intense and varied recording yet, For Dread Shall Reign.
Without doubt, the spectre of classic Kreator looms large over DEATHSTORM still – and why should it not, when you're doing deathtrash this devastating? – but with For Dread Shall Reign, the band bring forth a whole host of equally classic contours. From very old Metallica to equally old Slayer on to '80s Death and especially Demolition Hammer, DEATHSTORM here hammer out riffs, riffs, RIFFS! But, unlike so much thrash that haphazardly seeks to simply catalog riffs in disservice of the song, these Austrian veterans thread their enviable arsenal into hard-charging, headbanging juggernauts of immediately memorable metal-mania manna. There's nothing fancy here, no concessions toward "maturity" or "crossover" or other euphemisms for watering-down their already-heady brew; for DEATHSTORM, heavy metal is the law, and For Dread Shall Reign honors this noble ideal pairing strong songwriting with a tight 'n' brutal production favorably reminiscent of the late '80s and early '90s. Because DEATHSTORM aren't broken – so don' fix 'em!
Social criticism, serial killers, cults, anti-religion, war...all this is grist for DEATHSTORM's lyrical mill. What they spit out is supreme DEATH-fucking-THRASH of the highest order, because in these troubled times, For Dread Shall Reign!

DVP 155 Midnight Priest – Aggressive Hauntings LP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Cover-large-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MIDNIGHT PRIEST's stellar third album, Aggressive Hauntings, on vinyl LP format.
By now a fixture on the true metal scene, Portugal's MIDNIGHT PRIEST have been keeping it true for a dozen years now. With CD releases on such esteemed labels as Stormspell, Metal on Metal, and Slaney, this exceptionally monikered quintet – drummer War Tank, guitarists Iron Fist and Steel Bringer, vocalist Lex Thunder, and bassist Joe Dalton – consistently burn with a proud 'n' powerful sound that's 1000% iron-clad HEAVY METAL.
Of their full-length releases, arguably, it is 2019's Aggressive Hauntings which is their proudest and most powerful statement yet. No great changes made here – cruising-yet-crunchy metal between mid-tempo and speed, tracing a trajectory from classic Lizzy Borden to '80s King Diamond to Painkiller-era Judas Priest – but it's the swagger and confidence MIDNIGHT PRIEST display across this third album that make it absolutely addicting. These are all ANTHEMS, brimming with bravado and drama and total 'n' utter POWER, each one draped in darkness but equally sheathed in steel most glimmering. It's not titled Aggressive Hauntings for nothing!
Dedicated to the memory of metal legends Lemmy, Mark Shelton, and Terry Jones, MIDNIGHT PRIEST's Aggressive Hauntings is at last unleashed on the most perfect format for classic metal: VINYL!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a special split album between Austria's VENATOR and Germany's ANGEL BLADE on vinyl LP format.
Combining debut demos/EPs by both bands, this split album brings together two exciting new talents in traditional metal on the format so fitting for such: VINYL! On one side is VENATOR's Paradiser EP. Featuring killer, era-authentic artwork reminiscent of Mausoleum Records' mid-'80s heyday, VENATOR's entry here is three moody 'n' melodic tracks which have a subtly anthemic quality; just as equally, one can feel the chill of night blow across Paradiser. The uniquely retro-futuristic production simply accentuates the atmospheric push and pull – and already, VENATOR are hard at work on their debut album for DYING VICTIMS. (The label will also release Paradiser as a standalone CD and cassette.)
On the other side is ANGEL BLADE's self-titled debut demo, which was originally released on cassette but has created high demand for other formats since. And it's not difficult to discover why, as Angel Blade literally sounds like a lost demo from 1981: so authentic is ANGEL BLADE's study of ancient NWOBHM and Scandinavian metal, you'll be checking the calendar as each of these three shimmering, steel-clad tracks takes a hold.
Together, you'll be in thrall to VENATOR and ANGEL BLADE's classic metal mesmerism!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ZATYR's striking debut EP, Ornament of Proposition, on 12" vinyl and digital formats.
Hailing from Sweden and forming in 2019, ZATYR quickly set to work on their debut EP – plus, speaking of "set," their vocalist Set used to be in the beloved Devil Lee Rot. Titled Ornament of Proposition, the band's first public recording was released digitally in September of that year, and proudly displayed an otherwise-new band brimming with the fire of the ancients and confidence to spare. Indeed, ZATYR here sounded authentically old, casting their gaze across the darkest and classiest currents of classic heavy metal singed with a touch of first-wave black metal. But, paradoxically, the quartet just as ably burned with the enthusiasm of feral youngbloods, imbuing the EP's three tracks with boundless passion.
Seeing fit to foster the rich lifeblood of the heavy metal underground, DYING VICTIMS grants ZATYR's debut EP on a new lease on life, rendering it onto black gold and including an exclusive bonus track, now encompassing a total of 18 stout minutes. Truly, this re-release shall rightfully expose ZATYR to the wider metal landscape, boldly emblazoning "The Devil's Rock 'n' Roll" across the hearts and minds of those who hail ancient heavy metal and black metal alike. Names to be referenced include early Running Wild, Mercyful Fate, Omen, Brocas Helm, Death SS and even Bathory's transition from Blood Fire Death to Hammerheart, but all done with an addicting zeal that's entirely ZATYR's alone. Open thy ears and allow Ornament of Proposition to recast its spells!

DVP 150 Hexenbrett – Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten LP/CD/MC

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXENBRETT's highly anticipated debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
It was at the dawn of 2019 when a strange little demo inconspicuously announced itself from the other side and introduced the sound of the bloody iris. Titled Erste Beschwörung, it was the first public recording of one HEXENBRETT, the work of a mysterious duo revealing themselves as Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolétte. This was a literal bolt from the blue, sounds that were as refreshingly new as they were authentically old. "Cemetery sounds" is what the band called them, but that only told half the story. Wild and wily, HEXENBRETT unloaded a dizzying payload of sounds both traditional and unorthodox, dumping into its hot-rockin' cauldron spices from first-wave black metal, Iron Curtain-era speed metal, outsider doom, and even old-school deathrock. It was a kaleidoscopic spin, and caught the attention of Caligari Records (who did a wider cassette release) and then DYING VICTIMS with their 12" vinyl version toward the end of the year. Lots of other, strange-starved ears picked up on it, too.
The stage thus set, HEXENBRETT proceeds to defy expectations and obliterate the slate with its debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten. A record of stark contrasts, Zweite Beschwörung immediately sounds definitively like HEXENBRETT: roaming ancient cemeteries with a torch in hand, conjuring the madness and mysticism of early black metal, when unorthodoxy was celebrated and no blueprints yet existed – only paths to be blazed! But, that latter element is precisely where Zweite Beschwörung takes a different turn, delving into waters both more refined and more rarefied, more straightforward and more obtuse – more METAL, epic and outlandish and "true," but decidedly in an un-metal manner – beguiling the senses either way, and addictively so. It's a turn that's directly inspired by such sources as varied as Varathron, Jean Rollin, Danzig, Goblin, and Van Halen, and yet emerging completely unique and unlike little else around. A diverse journey through mouldy crypts and deranged minds, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten features eight original tracks and an astonishing cover of Townes Van Zandt's "The Spider Song".
Quite commandingly, HEXENBRETT reveal an uncanny knack for songcraft, building defined and endearing hooks that unfold unexpectedly yet thrillingly, the intensity constantly rising and falling with preternatural ease but always in service of the song. Elsewhere, the band coats its creations with subtle layers of synth, further fanning that otherworldly atmosphere that laid in wait across the demo while ragged aggression usually took over. Which is all to say nothing of the absolutely spellbinding chimes often employed, evoking a banquet of horror with an almost-filmic quality in line with the band's love for European cult cinema. And, fittingly, the production across Zweite Beschwörung is richly analog, scrappy but shimmering, evincing a totality of design and just-professional-enough presentation without sacrificing the entity's original ethics. Like most first albums should be, the tale of HEXENBRETT truly begins here.
If there was ever any question about HEXENBRETT's singular nature, just beginning to bloom, simply gaze upon the cover art to Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten. All other paths blazed, this is the only one left, and it's HEXENBRETT's alone... The dead will dance, expect the unexpected!

DVP 151 Tøronto – Under Siege MLP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/UnderSiege-Cover-small-300x300.png)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Toronto-LP-Special-823x1024-1-241x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Toronto-TL-regular-763x1024-1-224x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TØRONTO's striking debut mini-album, Under Siege, on 12" vinyl and digital formats.
Hailing from Sweden, TØRONTO formed in 2017, partly out of the ashes of the sorely missed Morbus Chron – vocalist/guitarist Edvin Aftonfalk and bassist Dag Landin, here under the stage names Eddie Flawless and 79-83, respectively – and also powerhouse drummer Leo Ekström Sollenmo, from the well-respected Lethal Steel and Temisto, under the name Lt. Oxtreme as well as one Seb Cyborg on guitars. With this lineup in place, the quartet released their debut demo in 2018 and then the Nocturnal High tape on DYING VICTIMS later that year. That latter title alone suggested that something strange 'n' salacious was indeed afoot...
And it is! Wanna get nocturnal higher? Then become Under Siege! Encompassing the strides they made across their two demos, TØRONTO's first longer-playing record is a rush of weird 'n' wild speed metal heavily informed by hardcore punk. Put simply, one could imagine the sound of Under Siege as greased-up NWOBHM colliding headlong into early Razor and Warfare, but overseen by Inepsy, mid '80s Discharge, and even Howard Benson-era Motörhead. Shit shreds, fast and free, each raucous-yet-rockin' section charging into the night but equally exuding an unselfconsciously subtle minimalism that somehow gets these eight bangers over and done with in an average of barely two minutes each. Put another way, one could also imagine the zombified spirit of Morbus Chron holding court here, in the sense that that band both embodied and defied death metal; TØRONTO similarly does such with speed metal, but again renders it into an alternately ideal/oblique form that's entirely theirs – and this is just the start.
While maybe not as off-the-wall weird as GISM's NWOBHM/noise mélange M.A.N., TØRONTO are treading comparably rarified ground with Under Siege, and their trajectory into the strange is assured. Get with their program or get out of the way!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VENATOR's debut ep Paradiser on CD and cassette format.
Austria has one more exciting new talent in traditional metal, VENATOR! Paradiser features killer, era-authentic artwork reminiscent of Mausoleum Records' mid-'80s heyday and is VENATOR's entry with three moody 'n' melodic tracks which have a subtly anthemic quality; just as equally, one can feel the chill of night blow across Paradiser. The uniquely retro-futuristic production simply accentuates the atmospheric push and pull – and already, VENATOR are hard at work on their debut album for DYING VICTIMS.

DVP 127 The Night Eternal – The Night Eternal MLP Repress

Although THE NIGHT ETERNAL's first public recording, already, these Germans are evincing the mastery of veterans. Across their three original compositions and a reverentially poignant cover of Judas Priest's "(Take These) Chains," the quintet concoct a supremely powerful and stirringly moody sort of heavy metal, both traditionally pure-steel in their dynamics yet also brimming with epicness and a sort of forlorn heroism. In fact, early '80s Judas Priest is an apt reference for The Night Eternal's night-prowling style, all gleaming chrome and classy, but bespeaking an ever-present darkness beneath that alluring exterior. Of course, hooks are massive as are the commanding vocals of frontman Ricardo, who's already on his way to being a first class heavy metal singer in his own right, but it's the chemistry among the five members of THE NIGHT ETERNAL that puts this beyond most other debut recordings: truly, their fire and fluidity are magick to behold! Appropriately moody cover art courtesy of Brouemaster Visual Decay.

HEXENBRETT is an entity that provides cemetery sounds exclusively. The first invocation, fittingly entitled Erste Beschwörung, is a sample of what will follow in the future. Roaming ancient dungeons with sword in one hand and torch in the other, HEXENBRETT conjures the madness and mysticism of olde-worlde black metal, when unorthodoxy was celebrated and no blueprints yet existed – only paths to be blazed! Indeed does HEXENBRETT blaze across this four-song/19-minute offering, remaining firmly rooted in the purest metals but fanning those flames with a creepy, coffin-dwelling atmosphere that puts Erste Beschwörung in a league all its own, also incorporating eldritch doom and deathrock into this wildly bubbling cauldron. And it's early days still...
No boundaries, no limitations: HEXENBRETT digs its own unique grave with Erste Beschwörung, and the cemetery is wide-fucking-open. The spell was cast, the demons are here – let the haunting begin!

DVP 159 Soulcaster - Maelstrom of Death and Steel MLP/MCD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/albumcover-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SOULCASTER's striking debut mini-album, Maelstrom of Death and Steel, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
A brand-new entity hailing from Belgium, the sword-swinging brigands of SOULCASTER shall make their mark across the metal underground with their five-song Maelstrom of Death and Steel. In a swift-but-satisfying 22 minutes, SOULCASTER erect towers of fantastical heavy metal might, evincing a stout grasp of epic-yet-punchy songwriting and a whole host of unique contrasts which render this recording advanced beyond the band's young years. Raw yet refined, atmospheric yet aggressive, moody yet majestic, SOULCASTER bring to life both bloodshed and arcane intrigue, swords and sorcery. Not for nothing is the record titled Maelstrom of Death and Steel: the name embodies the ongoing turmoil in Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, the book series that lends the band its moniker and forms the setting for the entire EP
Initially, the concept behind SOULCASTER was to recast forebears of the epic metal tradition – Cirith Ungol, Manilla Road, Slough Feg, and early Blind Guardian – and their literary antecedents (Tolkien, Moorcock, Robert E. Howard) and do a modern interpretation of it: thus, newer fantasy as the inspiration, and also more contemporary classicist heavy metal like Eternal Champion, Sumerlands, and Visigoth. But, what results across Maelstrom of Death and Steel is entirely SOULCASTER's, as the band's blend of musical influences both metal and otherwise makes the record a rich 'n' sumptuous feast of fantasy and fanaticism. Of especial note is the rhythmic thrust they employ, galloping like steeds of the apocalypse or at least in a manner more post-punk than other epic metal battalions – truly, sounds of the battlefield here – which are all the more heightened by the big and booming and somehow distant production style, lending even more mystery to SOULCASTER's ruminations on steel & spell.
Unselfconsciously unique whilst honoring heavy metal's iron-clad customs, SOULCASTER thrust you into a Maelstrom of Death and Steel!

DVP 160 N.N.M. - Neanderthal Noise Machine MLP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/nnm-cover-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present NEANDERTHAL NÖISE MACHINE's striking debut mini-album, Neanderthal Nöise Machine, on 12" vinyl format.
Although a brand-new entity, NEANDERTHAL NÖISE MACHINE (acronym NNM) is a power-trio comprised of metal veterans: Alimai (In League With Satan, Bestial Evil), Ace (Witchunter, Bestial Evil), and Bastard (Blasphemophagher, Ripping Death, Bestial Evil, ex-Baphomet's Blood). Knowing what they want and wanting it now, NNM mix together furious, dirty, and raw old-school metal influenced by Bronze-era Motörhead, the Fast Eddie Clarke solo project, Venom (1980-'84), Saxon (1978-'85), AC/DC (1975-'79), Sweden's Gehennah, the Mentors (1981-'89), Discharge (1981-'84), Fingernails (1984-'88), Bathory (1983-'84), Rose Tattoo (1978-'82), Eatmyfuk, and Tank (1981-'84).
Specific these influences may be, but they're crucial in underlining exactly where Neanderthal Nöise Machine is coming from – and where it's going, like a locomotive to Hell. Indeed, NNM's first strike is deadly, salaciously swift at six songs in 18 minutes, crashing the heavy metal vomit party – uninvited, of course! – and proceeding to rudely treat those partygoers, who had no justification being there in the first place. Truly, this is primordial metal for the purist, for those who uphold the law...of the unlawful, and the awful!
Just f-f-feel Ace's monumental guitar work together with the characteristically bulldozing bass of Bastard, then further submit to the hammering drums and distinctly early '80s vocal style of Alimai: there's simply no faking this; it's got to be FUCKING REAL. The relentless riffs and rough 'n' tumble arrangements, combined with a direct live-recording production in the pure old-school style, altogether make NNM's sound highly distinctive in this landscape of the plastic and disposable.
In this nowadays "metal" scene full of nice boys, NEANDERTHAL NÖISE MACHINE are ready to be the bad guys in the movie of your life. From the depths of Neanderthal hell, rise with Neanderthal Nöise Machine !!!

DVP 129 Aggressive Perfector - Havoc at the Midnight Hour LP/MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Aggressive-Perfector-small-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to repress AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR's striking debut album, Havoc at the Midnight Hour, on vinyl LP.
Following up their 2016 release Satan's Heavy Metal, Aggressive Perfector's debut full length, Havoc At The Midnight Hour, finds the English trio in resolutely evil form as they take a major step forward on their path of destruction.
Embracing a wealth of haunted sounds and textures, this sepulchral slab of metal conjures an atmosphere rich in the romantic repugnance of horror's past masters which it uses the setting for a 37 minute nightmare of nocturnal menace, occult fascination and bloody vengeance.
Summoning the ghosts of Metal past - Tank, Slayer, Venom and Mercyful Fate all playing a part- Havoc... fixates on the nuclear fury of an apocalyptic future, from which it culls new ways to pervert the course of heavy metal in the present.

DVP 134 Megaton Sword - Niralet MLP/MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Megaton-Sword-small-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to repress MEGATON SWORD's striking debut EP, Niralet, on 12" vinyl format.
Hailing from Switzerland and founded in 2018, MEGATON SWORD are ever aptly monikered: theirs is a nuclear-powered style of true-as-steel HEAVY METAL drunk on high fantasy and the enduring themes of conquest and valor, triumph and tragedy. The band's first public recording is titled Niralet, and it arrives as a fully formed document of a young band already capitalizing on their considerable strengths. The quartet - vocalist Uzzy Unchained, guitarist Chris the Axe, bassist Simon the Sorcerer, and drummer Dan Thundersteel - here create five mini-epics that feel far vaster than their succinct track times suggest. Perhaps it's the patient pacing they employ, allowing each bellow of bathos and push of pathos to ring out and as true as possible; perhaps it's the passion and machismo dripping from every element, every drop of blood, sweat, and tears tangible and intense; or perhaps it's Niralet simultaneously sounding timeless and fresh, safely evading both rote "retro" throwback and over-modernity in kind.
We can make references to '80s Manowar, Warlord, and Manilla Road as well as maybe early Running Wild or Nasty Savage, but even this early on, MEGATON SWORD are being no one but themselves. Wield MEGATON SWORD and begin the quest to Niralet! Suitably soothing 'n' eerie artwork courtesy of Adam Burke.

DVP 158 HEXECUTOR - Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge LP/CD/MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/HeculFinalsmall-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXECUTOR's highly anticipated second album, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
It's been four long years since HEXECUTOR released their shockingly masterful debut album, Poison, Lust and Damnation. The "shock" wasn't so much that the French quartet came out of nowhere – indeed, they'd made waves in the underground with their debut demo in 2012 and especially the Hangmen of Roazhon EP two years later (which DYING VICTIMS reissued on 12" vinyl in 2018, to meet demand) – but rather that there existed a band putting an undeniably authentic yet also unique twist on classic mid-'80s speed metal and thrash. HEXECUTOR weren't trying to reinvent language; they were simply trying to expand the lexicon a bit, and they did so with astonishing aplomb on Poison, Lust and Damnation.
But, now rested (and wild!), HEXECUTOR return with an even bolder record in their long-awaited second album, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge. If its no-less-considerable predecessor pushed traditional tropes, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge topples them altogether! It's all recognizably HEXECUTOR – and immediately, charismatically so – but swirling in their cantankerous cauldron of old Slayer, Razor, Destruction, Sepultura, and Merciless is a passion for classic hard rock and heavy metal and coated in the feeling of Bathory's Blood Fire Death and Manowar's Into Glory Ride. Thus, this second strike is a much more EPIC one, all without striving to be "epic" in the pejorative sense. It's all twisted with grace and gnarliness, in equal measure, as one will find filtered traces of Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep, Blue Öyster Cult, UFO, and even the Eagles as prominently as those of Deströyer 666, Absu, Gospel of the Horns, and Vomitor. HEXECUTOR even touch upon just-as-classic black metal and death metal mainstays as Morbid Angel, Sweden's Dawn, and early Necrophobic, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, and Satyricon...but again, simply hearing Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is witnessing the band's widescreen yet still-wild ways. Slowing down doesn't mean wimping out, and diversity can be a wondrous thing when handled with care and class. In a word, magickal!
Then again, a recording as momentous Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is underpinned by a deep and thoughtful thematic, relating directly to HEXECUTOR's homeland. As heavy metal is a great medium to relate legends and epic stories, HEXECUTOR chose to glorify the beauty of their folklore with a concept album based exclusively on myths, factual history, and fantastic tales kept alive by the oral tradition and collected by authors, folklorists, and poets such as Anatole Le Braz, Paul Sébillot, or François Cadic.
It bears repeating that Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is a momentous event, and it's suitably graced with amazing artwork courtesy of Skelethal's Jon Whiplash. HEXECUTOR here have delivered a modern classic!

DVP 161 BLACKEVIL - Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/161-Blackevil-Forever-Baptised-in-Eternal-Fire-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS is proud to present BLACKEVIL's highly anticipated second album, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Bavaria, BLACKEVIL have been forging fire since 2013. Their first demo, appropriately titled Hail the Cult, emerged from the darkness in 2015, auspiciously revealing a razor-sharp and endlessly salacious style of blackthrash. Come BLACKEVIL's debut album, 2017's The Ceremonial Fire, the power-trio up-ratcheted everything: more speed, more hooks, more black, more evil, more of MORE! Diehards took notice, thankfully, and the band furthered the momentum the next year with a split LP with Italy's esteemed Witchunter. Still, the best was yet to come...
At last, BLACKEVIL's breakout moment arrives with their long-awaited second album, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire. Of course, ones for astute titles, BLACKEVIL nevertheless lay it all on the line with Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire, bringing together their not-inconsiderable past with an envious present and doubtlessly damned future! Naturally, they'd never betray their roots – whether it's the German thrash Big Three of Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction or evil speed metal legends like Razor, Evil Angel, OZ, and Exciter, and plenty of other classic points in between – but the way the trio assimilate them into something that's so uniquely their own and yet so uniquely and purely HEAVY METAL, we can only guess there's some black magick at play. Put another way, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire is fucking EPIC from beginning to end, but it never sounds like it's straining to sound "epic." Likewise, one could charitably qualify BLACKEVIL here as transcending blackthrash altogether, so creative is this idiosyncratic iteration of the idiom...but even then, that's selling both band and record short.
All we can say is simply step into this eternal fire, feel the witching-metal leads course through your veins, the throttling yet tastefully nuanced drums guide your quest, and allow bassist Abyss' commanding and increasingly charismatic vocals to lead the charge; try to resist ALL THAT, and try remaining metal to the bone. Won't work! Suitably for such a classic-in-the-making, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire is baptized with (un)godly cover art by the masterful Paolo Girardi. Make no mistake: BLACKEVIL have ARRIVED!

DVP 162 EARLY MOODS – Spellbound MLP/MCD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Cover-small-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present EARLY MOODS' striking debut mini-album, Spellbound, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Hailing from Los Angeles, EARLY MOODS formed in 2015 as an amalgamation of various experienced acts such as Rude, (ex-)Skeletal Remains, Fortress (California) and Nightmare (USA). From the beginning, the goal was simple yet sturdy: to pay homage to such classic bands as Candlemass, Witchfinder General, Pentagram, Trouble, and the almighty Black Sabbath. However, it wasn't until 2020 when the band's first recording appeared, originally self-released digitally on April 20th.
Bearing the evocative title Spellbound, form surely meets content here, as EARLY MOODS entrance the listener with molten grooves and bewitching atmosphere; this is tried-and-true HEAVY DOOM that doesn't step past 1980! Naturally, traces of the aforementioned influences are tastefully spread across the 27-minute record, but each of its five component songs convey an alluring, addicting identity that's entirely their own. Not for nothing are EARLY MOODS monikered as such, for their aeons-old aura and doomed-out swagger bespeaks an impossibly eldritch aspect – precisely, the kind's perfect for proto-doom and its eventual genesis into traditional doom
Darkly colored with sulfurous leads that'll ruin your day, EARLY MOODS dare you to gaze into their crystal ball and become Spellbound!

DVP 153 Coltre – Under the Influence LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Coltre-LP-regular-1017x1024-1-298x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Coltre-CD-1-1024x1024-1-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present COLTRE's striking debut, Under the Influence, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
COLTRE was forged in London, England by guitarists Daniel Sweed and Marco Stamigna in May 2019. They met at a Midnight concert and decided to form a band inspired by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. They started rehearsing, and by the beginning of 2020 had recorded the four-song EP Under the Influence, to be released in time for their first gig, supporting Witchtower at Boston Music Rooms.
The band self-released Under the Influence on CD and digital formats, but now DYING VICTIMS steps forward to champion COLTRE's cause and release it as a five-song work, featuring an exclusive new track. Rough and rustic but brimming with an authentically ancient fire, Under the Influence is moody metallic majesty: dark 'n' mysterious riffs, portentously galloping rhythms, epic-yet-direct compositions, and the sage-like pipes of Stagmina atop it all. One could be mistaken for thinking COLTRE were some unearthed relic from the original NWOBHM movement, so hot-rockin' is their swords-aloft surge, evoking high fantasy and urban grit in equal measure, and crucially retaining that pivotal rock 'n' roll thrust Thin Lizzy largely gifted to that movement.
But COLTRE are their own men, and as reverential as they are of these enduring paradigms, Under the Influence is undoubtedly its own creation, its own wild world. You are hereby compelled to go under THEIR influence!

DVP 154 Deathstorm – For Dread Shall Reign LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Deathstorm-LP-special-952x1024-1-279x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Deathstorm-LP-regular-1024x1021-1-300x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Deathstorm-CD-1-988x1024-1-289x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fourth album of Austria's DEATHSTORM, For Dread Shall Reign, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
A veritable institution by now, DEATHSTORM have been flying the flag of hate for a decade now, releasing albums on such well-regarded labels as I Hate and High Roller. DEATHSTORM delivered a swift 'n' sweet EP for DYING VICTIMS titled The Gallows in 2015, and now the power-trio return to the label for their most intense and varied recording yet, For Dread Shall Reign.
Without doubt, the spectre of classic Kreator looms large over DEATHSTORM still – and why should it not, when you're doing deathtrash this devastating? – but with For Dread Shall Reign, the band bring forth a whole host of equally classic contours. From very old Metallica to equally old Slayer on to '80s Death and especially Demolition Hammer, DEATHSTORM here hammer out riffs, riffs, RIFFS! But, unlike so much thrash that haphazardly seeks to simply catalog riffs in disservice of the song, these Austrian veterans thread their enviable arsenal into hard-charging, headbanging juggernauts of immediately memorable metal-mania manna. There's nothing fancy here, no concessions toward "maturity" or "crossover" or other euphemisms for watering-down their already-heady brew; for DEATHSTORM, heavy metal is the law, and For Dread Shall Reign honors this noble ideal pairing strong songwriting with a tight 'n' brutal production favorably reminiscent of the late '80s and early '90s. Because DEATHSTORM aren't broken – so don' fix 'em!
Social criticism, serial killers, cults, anti-religion, war...all this is grist for DEATHSTORM's lyrical mill. What they spit out is supreme DEATH-fucking-THRASH of the highest order, because in these troubled times, For Dread Shall Reign!

DVP 155 Midnight Priest – Aggressive Hauntings LP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Midnight-Priest-LP-regular-931x1024-1-273x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MIDNIGHT PRIEST's stellar third album, Aggressive Hauntings, on vinyl LP format.
By now a fixture on the true metal scene, Portugal's MIDNIGHT PRIEST have been keeping it true for a dozen years now. With CD releases on such esteemed labels as Stormspell, Metal on Metal, and Slaney, this exceptionally monikered quintet – drummer War Tank, guitarists Iron Fist and Steel Bringer, vocalist Lex Thunder, and bassist Joe Dalton – consistently burn with a proud 'n' powerful sound that's 1000% iron-clad HEAVY METAL.
Of their full-length releases, arguably, it is 2019's Aggressive Hauntings which is their proudest and most powerful statement yet. No great changes made here – cruising-yet-crunchy metal between mid-tempo and speed, tracing a trajectory from classic Lizzy Borden to '80s King Diamond to Painkiller-era Judas Priest – but it's the swagger and confidence MIDNIGHT PRIEST display across this third album that make it absolutely addicting. These are all ANTHEMS, brimming with bravado and drama and total 'n' utter POWER, each one draped in darkness but equally sheathed in steel most glimmering. It's not titled Aggressive Hauntings for nothing!
Dedicated to the memory of metal legends Lemmy, Mark Shelton, and Terry Jones, MIDNIGHT PRIEST's Aggressive Hauntings is at last unleashed on the most perfect format for classic metal: VINYL!

DVP 157 Venator/Angel Blade – Split LP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Angel-Blade_Venator-LP-regular-929x1024-1-272x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a special split album between Austria's VENATOR and Germany's ANGEL BLADE on vinyl LP format.
Combining debut demos/EPs by both bands, this split album brings together two exciting new talents in traditional metal on the format so fitting for such: VINYL! On one side is VENATOR's Paradiser EP. Featuring killer, era-authentic artwork reminiscent of Mausoleum Records' mid-'80s heyday, VENATOR's entry here is three moody 'n' melodic tracks which have a subtly anthemic quality; just as equally, one can feel the chill of night blow across Paradiser. The uniquely retro-futuristic production simply accentuates the atmospheric push and pull – and already, VENATOR are hard at work on their debut album for DYING VICTIMS. (The label will also release Paradiser as a standalone CD and cassette.)
On the other side is ANGEL BLADE's self-titled debut demo, which was originally released on cassette but has created high demand for other formats since. And it's not difficult to discover why, as Angel Blade literally sounds like a lost demo from 1981: so authentic is ANGEL BLADE's study of ancient NWOBHM and Scandinavian metal, you'll be checking the calendar as each of these three shimmering, steel-clad tracks takes a hold.
Together, you'll be in thrall to VENATOR and ANGEL BLADE's classic metal mesmerism!

DVP 134 Megaton Sword – Niralet MLP/MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Megaton-Sword-LP-special-1011x1024-1-296x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Megaton-Sword-regular-1024-300x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Megaton-Sword-MC-974x1024-1-285x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to repress MEGATON SWORD's striking debut EP, Niralet, on 12″ vinyl and music cassette formats.
Hailing from Switzerland and founded in 2018, MEGATON SWORD are ever aptly monikered: theirs is a nuclear-powered style of true-as-steel HEAVY METAL drunk on high fantasy and the enduring themes of conquest and valor, triumph and tragedy. The band's first public recording is titled Niralet, and it arrives as a fully formed document of a young band already capitalizing on their considerable strengths. The quartet – vocalist Uzzy Unchained, guitarist Chris the Axe, bassist Simon the Sorcerer, and drummer Dan Thundersteel – here create five mini-epics that feel far vaster than their succinct track times suggest. Perhaps it's the patient pacing they employ, allowing each bellow of bathos and push of pathos to ring out and as true as possible; perhaps it's the passion and machismo dripping from every element, every drop of blood, sweat, and tears tangible and intense; or perhaps it's Niralet simultaneously sounding timeless and fresh, safely evading both rote "retro" throwback and over-modernity in kind.
We can make references to '80s Manowar, Warlord, and Manilla Road as well as maybe early Running Wild or Nasty Savage, but even this early on, MEGATON SWORD are being no one but themselves. Wield MEGATON SWORD and begin the quest to Niralet! Suitably soothing 'n' eerie artwork courtesy of Adam Burke.

DVP 163 Töxik Death – Sepulchral Demons MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/163-mc-cover-202x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TÖXIK DEATH's 2nd album, Sepulchral Demons, on cassette format.
Due to severe line-up problems, it took the Norwegian black thrashers several years until this glorious return with their sophomore album! When the debut tried to get as fast as possible, this 2nd effort is more varied and next to the obvious evil thrash classic vibes you can also identify some d-beat influences as well.

The new tracks are enhanced by their 2017 EP "Ashes of Glory", which introduces big line-up changes including a new singer, marking its first time release outside of Chile.

DVP 167 Megaton Sword – Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire LP/CD/MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Megaton-Sword-BHS-SHF-3500-v2.1-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEGATON SWORD's highly anticipated debut album, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, on CD, cassette and vinyl LP formats.
It was but November of last year when MEGATON SWORD unleashed their glorious debut EP, Niralet, via DYING VICTIMS. Arriving fully formed, virtually without warning – no prior demo recordings existed, at least not publicly – this Swiss quartet evinced an ages-old sound that was wise (and wizened) well beyond their young years. Already, MEGATON SWORD knew the mystery of steel...and wielded it with a startling confidence. And no one knew just how high they could fly, only that they were just getting started.
Now, with the arrival of their imminent debut album, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, MEGATON SWORD are marching into the halls of greatness, with no one to stop them. Retaining the same, well-named lineup – vocalist Uzzy Unchained, guitarist Chris the Axe, bassist Simon the Sorcerer, and drummer Dan Thundersteel – MEGATON SWORD maximize the strengths of the EP and then some, revealing new twists to that mystery of steel whilst retaining the charisma and crunch that endeared them to the true-metal underground the first time around. Indeed, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire is aptly titled, almost ridiculously so: this is true-as-steel HEAVY METAL drunk on high fantasy and the enduring themes of conquest and valor, triumph and tragedy, but rendered in a form even bloodier and possessing more bravado. It's also more dynamic, maximizing drama between notes and from one passage to the next, each movement a narrative crucial to their conquest. Those notes are suitably wrapped in a production that's powerful in its clarity and pure in its intention, revealing MEGATON SWORD as both craftsmen and warriors, and never sacrificing grit on the altar of perfection (or vice versa).
Above all, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire is comprised of legitimately awesome SONGS that stick in your head immediately, even when traveling upon a winding, suitably epic path. Each one of the eight contained herein feel far vaster than their succinct track times suggest; credit is thus due to MEGATON SWORD's firing-on-all-cylinders songwriting. Or perhaps it's the patient pacing they employ, which they first revealed on Niralet, allowing each bellow of bathos and push of pathos to ring out and as true as possible; perhaps it's the passion and machismo dripping from every element, every drop of blood, sweat, and tears tangible and intense; or once again, perhaps it's the band simultaneously sounding timeless and fresh, safely evading both rote "retro" throwback and over-modernity in kind, and doing it more effortlessly than ever. Either way, MEGATON SWORD have delivered an album both bold in its ambition yet urgent in its delivery – truly, the thing that classic debut LPs are made of.
With Niralet, we made references to '80s Manowar, Warlord, and Manilla Road as well as early Running Wild and Nasty Savage, but with Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, MEGATON SWORD truly sound like no one but themselves: the growth is palpable, but not once overextended. And graced again with unforgettable cover art courtesy of Adam Burke, one of the best debut albums of the year is ready to be wielded!

DVP 168 Time Rift – Eternal Rock LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/TR_eternal-rock_cover_DVP-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TIME RIFT's debut album Eternal Rock on vinyl LP format.
If you keep your hair long, your leather tight, and your denim dirty, TIME RIFT have the heavy-metal-rock-and-roll you're looking for. Formed on the damp streets of Portland, Oregon, TIME RIFT have been cranking out riffs to rev your Camaro to since 2014. With their first EP release, Cold Future, TIME RIFT established themselves as a band whose sound has one foot firmly placed in 1974 hard rock.
Fast forward to 2020 to their full length debut Eternal Rock – an 8-track-affair – and their other foot is suddenly kicking your ass with some NWOBHM bangers. A power trio with an emphasis on power, TIME RIFT features vocalist and bassist Levi Campbell handling the low end and high wails, Justin Kaye on the ripping licks, and Terrica Jennings holding it all together on drums.
If TIME RIFT shows the modern world of rock and roll anything, it's that time is irrelevant, and rock is eternal.

DVP R-001 Mad Butcher – Metal Lightning Attack LP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/DVP-R001-Mad-Butcher-Metal-Lightning-Attack-1-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the first release of its newly founded reissue sub-label, RELICS FROM THE CRYPT: a LONG-overdue of MAD BUTCHER's cult-classic debut album, Lightning Metal Attack, on vinyl LP format.
While it would seem that MAD BUTCHER were inspired by Germany's legendary Destruction, the truth is rather the other way around: MAD BUTCHER predated Destruction by a number of years, and began even earlier than Teutonic metal mainstays Accept, Steeler, Grave Digger, and Living Death. As such, they were one of the first real metal bands in Germany to pick up sonic influence from the burgeoning NWOBHM movement and the early US metal scene. And what they delivered with their ragged 'n' righteous debut album, 1985's Lightning Metal Attack, stands immortal to this day even though it's largely remained a cult curio among diehard metal collectors.
Begun in name in 1980, by band accounts, MAD BUTCHER arrived at their unforgettable moniker from a trip vocalist/bassist Harry Elbracht took to New York City and seeing a butcher's shop sign lit up in big neon. Hailing from Essen, in the working-class Ruhr area, MAD BUTCHER were relentless scene members, travelling to all heavy metal festivals and shows across Europe and England. Curiously, they forewent doing a demo and subsequently became prolific on the live front, playing across Germany with the likes of Warlock, Sodom, Helloween, Sinner, Living Death, and the aforementioned Grave Digger and Steeler; in the United States, they played with Slayer, Exodus, Brocas Helm, and Lääz Rockit. Slayer even wanted MAD BUTCHER to open for them on their European Hell Awaits tour, but the band's management refused it, thus nixing the band's big break.
Nevertheless, MAD BUTCHER were well-rehearsed after all that live activity and were always prepared to go into the recording studio, but time and means always became an issue. When they were finally ready to go into the studio, in 1984, they lost their vocalist and Harry had to take the mic reins; they also had to write eight new songs, in a chaotic rush, to complete a full-length album. Exacerbating this stream of bad luck, "the technical side of the recording became a disaster," says Harry, and the record-pressing plant damaged the master tapes to Lightning Metal Attack, resulting in a subpar sound. Still, there's no discounting the raw energy and excitement across the record, which DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is honored to unleash in its ultimate edition.
Originally released in 1985 by the short-lived Earthshaker Records who also released Living Death's first two albums – MAD BUTCHER's Lightning Metal Attack is a crystallized snapshot of the times. In one sense, you could say the album was "behind the times" given that the band's subgenre-defiant sound spanned ALL heavy metal of the day – from the aforementioned NWOBHM and early '80s US sound, before speed metal and then thrash splintered forth from that wider stylistic pool – but in another, more accurate sense, MAD BUTCHER here kicked out a largely speed metal-oriented sound that thankfully retained the most important aspect, the METAL, and thus retained a more timeless aspect. Guitars are never overdriven, just existing within that sweet netherworld between class and crunch, between rock 'n' roll and a harder place; drums bang along steadily whether the tempo's fast (often) or slower, less often but deliciously hot-rockin' when they do; and what Harry may've lacked in conventional technical prowess, his vocals more than make up for it in sheer attitude and aplomb. So, across the album's 10 songs in 38 minutes, MAD BUTCHER indeed offer up a "lightning metal attack" that brings it from all corners, from speedy surge to down-tempo strut, and always keeping it wild 'n' loose whatever attack they chose. That balance, unselfconscious as it is – between the old tradition and the new traditions then being formed, of just being HEAVY METAL above all – has endeared Lightning Metal Attack to successive generations to this day, and the record remains an ever-relevant relic of times past and times yet to be forged.
And while MAD BUTCHER would disband in 1990, after two officially released albums and a third posthumously released in 2020, their legendry among the true-metal faithful was forever etched with Lightning Metal Attack. Now, for posterity, DYING VICTIMS will bring this lightning to the nations once again, using a powerful remaster by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, on the format it so deserves: vinyl!

While the cd edition had first been released in 2016, DYING VICTIMS took care of the vinyl edition in late 2017 and sold out of the album not too long after. Due to high demand, this relentless debut album requires a vinyl repress for sure! Hexecutor's "Poison, Lust and Damnation" is an extremely pure and consistent thrash metal massacre which is rare these days.
With their 2nd album on the way, this is a perfect chance to complete their vinyl collection for anyone who missed the first press.

DVP 151 Toronto – Under Siege compilation CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a 18 track CD compilation featuring TØRONTO's striking debut mini-album, Under Siege, their first self-titled demo and the Nocturnal High ep.
Hailing from Sweden, TØRONTO formed in 2017, partly out of the ashes of the sorely missed Morbus Chron – vocalist/guitarist Edvin Antonfolk and bassist Dag Landin, here under the stage names Eddie Flawless and 79-83, respectively – and also powerhouse drummer Leo Ekström Sollenmo, from the well-respected Lethal Steel and Temisto, under the name Lt. Oxtreme as well as one Seb Cyborg on guitars. With this lineup in place, the quartet released their debut demo in 2018 and then the Nocturnal High tape on DYING VICTIMS later that year, culmulating in the Under Siege MLP earlier in 2020.
Since previous material has been sold out and only available on tape format, this compilation will still the hunger for new material until the debut album will see its light of day. Don't you worry – it's on its way!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SOULCASTER's striking debut mini-album, Maelstrom of Death and Steel, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
A brand-new entity hailing from Belgium, the sword-swinging brigands of SOULCASTER shall make their mark across the metal underground with their five-song Maelstrom of Death and Steel. In a swift-but-satisfying 22 minutes, SOULCASTER erect towers of fantastical heavy metal might, evincing a stout grasp of epic-yet-punchy songwriting and a whole host of unique contrasts which render this recording advanced beyond the band's young years. Raw yet refined, atmospheric yet aggressive, moody yet majestic, SOULCASTER bring to life both bloodshed and arcane intrigue, swords and sorcery. Not for nothing is the record titled Maelstrom of Death and Steel: the name embodies the ongoing turmoil in Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, the book series that lends the band its moniker and forms the setting for the entire EP
Initially, the concept behind SOULCASTER was to recast forebears of the epic metal tradition – Cirith Ungol, Manilla Road, Slough Feg, and early Blind Guardian – and their literary antecedents (Tolkien, Moorcock, Robert E. Howard) and do a modern interpretation of it: thus, newer fantasy as the inspiration, and also more contemporary classicist heavy metal like Eternal Champion, Sumerlands, and Visigoth. But, what results across Maelstrom of Death and Steel is entirely SOULCASTER's, as the band's blend of musical influences both metal and otherwise makes the record a rich 'n' sumptuous feast of fantasy and fanaticism. Of especial note is the rhythmic thrust they employ, galloping like steeds of the apocalypse or at least in a manner more post-punk than other epic metal battalions – truly, sounds of the battlefield here – which are all the more heightened by the big and booming and somehow distant production style, lending even more mystery to SOULCASTER's ruminations on steel & spell.
Unselfconsciously unique whilst honoring heavy metal's iron-clad customs, SOULCASTER thrust you into a Maelstrom of Death and Steel!

DVP 160 N.N.M. – Neanderthal Noise Machine MLP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/nnm-cover-1-300x300.jpg) (https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/NNM-LP-special-891x1024-1-261x300.jpg) (https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/NNM-LP-900x1024-1-264x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present NEANDERTHAL NÖISE MACHINE's striking debut mini-album, Neanderthal Nöise Machine, on 12" vinyl format.
Although a brand-new entity, NEANDERTHAL NÖISE MACHINE (acronym NNM) is a power-trio comprised of metal veterans: Alimai (In League With Satan, Bestial Evil), Ace (Witchunter, Bestial Evil), and Bastard (Blasphemophagher, Ripping Death, Bestial Evil, ex-Baphomet's Blood). Knowing what they want and wanting it now, NNM mix together furious, dirty, and raw old-school metal influenced by Bronze-era Motörhead, the Fast Eddie Clarke solo project, Venom (1980-'84), Saxon (1978-'85), AC/DC (1975-'79), Sweden's Gehennah, the Mentors (1981-'89), Discharge (1981-'84), Fingernails (1984-'88), Bathory (1983-'84), Rose Tattoo (1978-'82), Eatmyfuk, and Tank (1981-'84).
Specific these influences may be, but they're crucial in underlining exactly where Neanderthal Nöise Machine is coming from – and where it's going, like a locomotive to Hell. Indeed, NNM's first strike is deadly, salaciously swift at six songs in 18 minutes, crashing the heavy metal vomit party – uninvited, of course! – and proceeding to rudely treat those partygoers, who had no justification being there in the first place. Truly, this is primordial metal for the purist, for those who uphold the law...of the unlawful, and the awful!
Just f-f-feel Ace's monumental guitar work together with the characteristically bulldozing bass of Bastard, then further submit to the hammering drums and distinctly early '80s vocal style of Alimai: there's simply no faking this; it's got to be FUCKING REAL. The relentless riffs and rough 'n' tumble arrangements, combined with a direct live-recording production in the pure old-school style, altogether make NNM's sound highly distinctive in this landscape of the plastic and disposable.
In this nowadays "metal" scene full of nice boys, NEANDERTHAL NÖISE MACHINE are ready to be the bad guys in the movie of your life. From the depths of Neanderthal hell, rise with Neanderthal Nöise Machine !!!

DVP 129 Aggressive Perfector – Havoc at the Midnight Hour LP/MC

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to repress AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR's striking debut album, Havoc at the Midnight Hour, on vinyl LP and music cassette formats.
Following up their 2016 release Satan's Heavy Metal, Aggressive Perfector's debut full length, Havoc At The Midnight Hour, finds the English trio in resolutely evil form as they take a major step forward on their path of destruction.
Embracing a wealth of haunted sounds and textures, this sepulchral slab of metal conjures an atmosphere rich in the romantic repugnance of horror's past masters which it uses the setting for a 37 minute nightmare of nocturnal menace, occult fascination and bloody vengeance.
Summoning the ghosts of Metal past – Tank, Slayer, Venom and Mercyful Fate all playing a part- Havoc... fixates on the nuclear fury of an apocalyptic future, from which it culls new ways to pervert the course of heavy metal in the present.

DVP 163 Töxik Death – Sepulchral Demons MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/163-mc-cover-202x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Toxic-Death-MC-868x1024-1-254x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TÖXIK DEATH's 2nd album, Sepulchral Demons, on cassette format.
Due to severe line-up problems, it took the Norwegian black thrashers several years until this glorious return with their sophomore album! When the debut tried to get as fast as possible, this 2nd effort is more varied and next to the obvious evil thrash classic vibes you can also identify some d-beat influences as well.
MC comes with sticker and button.
DVP 164 Bastard Priest – Vengeance...Of The Damned MC

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BASTARD PRIEST's new ep, Vengeance... of the Damned, on cassette format.
Raw and filthy death metal from Sweden is BACK! Bastard Priest have taken their time, yet undo the almost 10 years lasting waiting period easily with these 4 new tracks. "Vengeance...Of The Damned" continues exactly the same way where they left their fans rotting. Evil death metal for the underground.

DVP 158 HEXECUTOR – Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge... LP/CD/MC
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/HeculFinalsmall-300x300.jpg)
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Hexecutor-LP-2-250x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Hexecutor-LP-1-269x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Hexecutor-CD-1-300x281.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Hexecutor-MC-249x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXECUTOR's highly anticipated second album, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
It's been four long years since HEXECUTOR released their shockingly masterful debut album, Poison, Lust and Damnation. The "shock" wasn't so much that the French quartet came out of nowhere – indeed, they'd made waves in the underground with their debut demo in 2012 and especially the Hangmen of Roazhon EP two years later (which DYING VICTIMS reissued on 12" vinyl in 2018, to meet demand) – but rather that there existed a band putting an undeniably authentic yet also unique twist on classic mid-'80s speed metal and thrash. HEXECUTOR weren't trying to reinvent language; they were simply trying to expand the lexicon a bit, and they did so with astonishing aplomb on Poison, Lust and Damnation.
But, now rested (and wild!), HEXECUTOR return with an even bolder record in their long-awaited second album, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge. If its no-less-considerable predecessor pushed traditional tropes, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge topples them altogether! It's all recognizably HEXECUTOR – and immediately, charismatically so – but swirling in their cantankerous cauldron of old Slayer, Razor, Destruction, Sepultura, and Merciless is a passion for classic hard rock and heavy metal and coated in the feeling of Bathory's Blood Fire Death and Manowar's Into Glory Ride. Thus, this second strike is a much more EPIC one, all without striving to be "epic" in the pejorative sense. It's all twisted with grace and gnarliness, in equal measure, as one will find filtered traces of Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep, Blue Öyster Cult, UFO, and even the Eagles as prominently as those of Deströyer 666, Absu, Gospel of the Horns, and Vomitor. HEXECUTOR even touch upon just-as-classic black metal and death metal mainstays as Morbid Angel, Sweden's Dawn, and early Necrophobic, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, and Satyricon...but again, simply hearing Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is witnessing the band's widescreen yet still-wild ways. Slowing down doesn't mean wimping out, and diversity can be a wondrous thing when handled with care and class. In a word, magickal!
Then again, a recording as momentous Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is underpinned by a deep and thoughtful thematic, relating directly to HEXECUTOR's homeland. As heavy metal is a great medium to relate legends and epic stories, HEXECUTOR chose to glorify the beauty of their folklore with a concept album based exclusively on myths, factual history, and fantastic tales kept alive by the oral tradition and collected by authors, folklorists, and poets such as Anatole Le Braz, Paul Sébillot, or François Cadic.
It bears repeating that Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is a momentous event, and it's suitably graced with amazing artwork courtesy of Skelethal's Jon Whiplash. HEXECUTOR here have delivered a modern classic!

DVP 161 BLACKEVIL – Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/161-Blackevil-Forever-Baptised-in-Eternal-Fire-300x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Blackevil-LP-2-242x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Blackevil-LP-1-254x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Blackevil-CD-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS is proud to present BLACKEVIL's highly anticipated second album, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Bavaria, BLACKEVIL have been forging fire since 2013. Their first demo, appropriately titled Hail the Cult, emerged from the darkness in 2015, auspiciously revealing a razor-sharp and endlessly salacious style of blackthrash. Come BLACKEVIL's debut album, 2017's The Ceremonial Fire, the power-trio up-ratcheted everything: more speed, more hooks, more black, more evil, more of MORE! Diehards took notice, thankfully, and the band furthered the momentum the next year with a split LP with Italy's esteemed Witchunter. Still, the best was yet to come...
At last, BLACKEVIL's breakout moment arrives with their long-awaited second album, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire. Of course, ones for astute titles, BLACKEVIL nevertheless lay it all on the line with Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire, bringing together their not-inconsiderable past with an envious present and doubtlessly damned future! Naturally, they'd never betray their roots – whether it's the German thrash Big Three of Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction or evil speed metal legends like Razor, Evil Angel, OZ, and Exciter, and plenty of other classic points in between – but the way the trio assimilate them into something that's so uniquely their own and yet so uniquely and purely HEAVY METAL, we can only guess there's some black magick at play. Put another way, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire is fucking EPIC from beginning to end, but it never sounds like it's straining to sound "epic." Likewise, one could charitably qualify BLACKEVIL here as transcending blackthrash altogether, so creative is this idiosyncratic iteration of the idiom...but even then, that's selling both band and record short.
All we can say is simply step into this eternal fire, feel the witching-metal leads course through your veins, the throttling yet tastefully nuanced drums guide your quest, and allow bassist Abyss' commanding and increasingly charismatic vocals to lead the charge; try to resist ALL THAT, and try remaining metal to the bone. Won't work! Suitably for such a classic-in-the-making, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire is baptized with (un)godly cover art by the masterful Paolo Girardi. Make no mistake: BLACKEVIL have ARRIVED!

DVP 162 EARLY MOODS – Spellbound MLP/MCD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Cover-small-300x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Early-Moods-LP-2-245x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Early-Moods-LP-1-240x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Early-Moods-CD-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present EARLY MOODS' striking debut mini-album, Spellbound, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Hailing from Los Angeles, EARLY MOODS formed in 2015 as an amalgamation of various experienced acts such as Rude, (ex-)Skeletal Remains, Fortress (California) and Nightmare (USA). From the beginning, the goal was simple yet sturdy: to pay homage to such classic bands as Candlemass, Witchfinder General, Pentagram, Trouble, and the almighty Black Sabbath. However, it wasn't until 2020 when the band's first recording appeared, originally self-released digitally on April 20th.
Bearing the evocative title Spellbound, form surely meets content here, as EARLY MOODS entrance the listener with molten grooves and bewitching atmosphere; this is tried-and-true HEAVY DOOM that doesn't step past 1980! Naturally, traces of the aforementioned influences are tastefully spread across the 27-minute record, but each of its five component songs convey an alluring, addicting identity that's entirely their own. Not for nothing are EARLY MOODS monikered as such, for their aeons-old aura and doomed-out swagger bespeaks an impossibly eldritch aspect – precisely, the kind's perfect for proto-doom and its eventual genesis into traditional doom.
Darkly colored with sulfurous leads that'll ruin your day, EARLY MOODS dare you to gaze into their crystal ball and become Spellbound!

DVP 169 TOXIKULL – Cursed and Punished LP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/MOMR19089_TOXIKULL-Cursed-and-Punished-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TOXIKULL's stellar second album, Cursed and Punished, on vinyl LP format. Licenced from Metal on Metal Records.
Hailing from Portugal, TOXIKULL burst onto the scene fully formed in 2016 with their debut album, Black Sheep. Indeed black sheep amongst the modern metal landscape, the quartet unleashed a fury of classy-yet-OTT speed metal pumped full of thrash overdrive – a sound that, while classically rooted, didn't conveniently slot itself into one category. Leading the charge were the authoritative vocals of ex-Midnight Priest frontman Lex Thunder, here also playing guitar. But Thunder's banshee cries weren't the only arsenal: his bandmates shredded with the best of 'em, putting considerable chops to good use with cruising-yet-crunchy ease.
A couple EPs followed in 2018, but TOXIKULL really hit a fever pitch with their second album, 2019's Cursed and Punished. Everything killer about their debut album was magnified tenfold, everyone going for glory and for the throat, delivering unbridled METAL MAYHEM that was simply impossible not to get swept up in! Each element here positively bristled with electricity and urgency – guitars razor-sharp but dynamic, the leads utterly blistering but with also with memorability, the rhythm section pumping like a locomotive on the way to Hell, and of course, Thunder's vocals reaching new heights of grandeur and...well, height – and all of them were coated in a gleaming production job, courtesy of Miguel Tereso from Demigod Recordings, that sacrificed not ounce of power...in fact, quite the opposite! Through it all, the songwriting was nothing short of stunning; each of these 10 songs could be an anthem itself, and TOXIKULL banged 'em out in a cool 'n' compact 34 minutes, making the listener beg for more.
Looking for a modern answer to old Helstar, Liege Lord, and Jag Panzer but with speed and power to spare? Look no further than TOXIKULL's Cursed and Punished, at last unleashed on the most perfect format for classic metal: VINYL!

DVP 170 EVOKE – Seeds of Death MC

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Evoke's raging debut album, Seeds of Death, on music cassette format.
After a demo and rehearsal tape in 2016 the band barricaded into their bunker, wrote songs and let them ripe over 4 long years until 2020 has finally seen their first album Seeds of Death being released. The classic three piece has produced 7 tunes with a playing time of just over half an hour – which fits perfectly for this black thrash assault on your ears. Who could take it any longer?! And with (lLive) members being shared with Black Viper, Enter Obscurity and Deathhammer, you get an idea that Evoke are at the forefront of evil metal from Norway.

DVP 153 COLTRE – Under the Influence LP 2nd Press
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/ColtreFrontCoverOriginal-small-1-300x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to announce the 2nd run of COLTRE's striking debut, Under the Influence, on 12" vinyl format. New color and patch for the special edition, black edition remains the same.
COLTRE was forged in London, England by guitarists Daniel Sweed and Marco Stamigna in May 2019. They met at a Midnight concert and decided to form a band inspired by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. They started rehearsing, and by the beginning of 2020 had recorded the four-song EP Under the Influence, to be released in time for their first gig, supporting Witchtower at Boston Music Rooms.
The band self-released Under the Influence on CD and digital formats, but now DYING VICTIMS steps forward to champion COLTRE's cause and release it as a five-song work, featuring an exclusive new track. Rough and rustic but brimming with an authentically ancient fire, Under the Influence is moody metallic majesty: dark 'n' mysterious riffs, portentously galloping rhythms, epic-yet-direct compositions, and the sage-like pipes of Stagmina atop it all. One could be mistaken for thinking COLTRE were some unearthed relic from the original NWOBHM movement, so hot-rockin' is their swords-aloft surge, evoking high fantasy and urban grit in equal measure, and crucially retaining that pivotal rock 'n' roll thrust Thin Lizzy largely gifted to that movement.
But COLTRE are their own men, and as reverential as they are of these enduring paradigms, Under the Influence is undoubtedly its own creation, its own wild world. You are hereby compelled to go under THEIR influence!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEGATON SWORD's highly anticipated debut album, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, on CD, cassette and vinyl LP formats.
It was but November of last year when MEGATON SWORD unleashed their glorious debut EP, Niralet, via DYING VICTIMS. Arriving fully formed, virtually without warning – no prior demo recordings existed, at least not publicly – this Swiss quartet evinced an ages-old sound that was wise (and wizened) well beyond their young years. Already, MEGATON SWORD knew the mystery of steel...and wielded it with a startling confidence. And no one knew just how high they could fly, only that they were just getting started.
Now, with the arrival of their imminent debut album, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, MEGATON SWORD are marching into the halls of greatness, with no one to stop them. Retaining the same, well-named lineup – vocalist Uzzy Unchained, guitarist Chris the Axe, bassist Simon the Sorcerer, and drummer Dan Thundersteel – MEGATON SWORD maximize the strengths of the EP and then some, revealing new twists to that mystery of steel whilst retaining the charisma and crunch that endeared them to the true-metal underground the first time around. Indeed, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire is aptly titled, almost ridiculously so: this is true-as-steel HEAVY METAL drunk on high fantasy and the enduring themes of conquest and valor, triumph and tragedy, but rendered in a form even bloodier and possessing more bravado. It's also more dynamic, maximizing drama between notes and from one passage to the next, each movement a narrative crucial to their conquest. Those notes are suitably wrapped in a production that's powerful in its clarity and pure in its intention, revealing MEGATON SWORD as both craftsmen and warriors, and never sacrificing grit on the altar of perfection (or vice versa).
Above all, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire is comprised of legitimately awesome SONGS that stick in your head immediately, even when traveling upon a winding, suitably epic path. Each one of the eight contained herein feel far vaster than their succinct track times suggest; credit is thus due to MEGATON SWORD's firing-on-all-cylinders songwriting. Or perhaps it's the patient pacing they employ, which they first revealed on Niralet, allowing each bellow of bathos and push of pathos to ring out and as true as possible; perhaps it's the passion and machismo dripping from every element, every drop of blood, sweat, and tears tangible and intense; or once again, perhaps it's the band simultaneously sounding timeless and fresh, safely evading both rote "retro" throwback and over-modernity in kind, and doing it more effortlessly than ever. Either way, MEGATON SWORD have delivered an album both bold in its ambition yet urgent in its delivery – truly, the thing that classic debut LPs are made of.
With Niralet, we made references to '80s Manowar, Warlord, and Manilla Road as well as early Running Wild and Nasty Savage, but with Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, MEGATON SWORD truly sound like no one but themselves: the growth is palpable, but not once overextended. And graced again with unforgettable cover art courtesy of Adam Burke, one of the best debut albums of the year is ready to be wielded!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TIME RIFT's debut album Eternal Rock on CD and vinyl LP format.
If you keep your hair long, your leather tight, and your denim dirty, TIME RIFT have the heavy-metal-rock-and-roll you're looking for. Formed on the damp streets of Portland, Oregon, TIME RIFT have been cranking out riffs to rev your Camaro to since 2014. With their first EP release, Cold Future, TIME RIFT established themselves as a band whose sound has one foot firmly placed in 1974 hard rock.
Fast forward to 2020 to their full length debut Eternal Rock – an 8-track-affair – and their other foot is suddenly kicking your ass with some NWOBHM bangers. A power trio with an emphasis on power, TIME RIFT features vocalist and bassist Levi Campbell handling the low end and high wails, Justin Kaye on the ripping licks, and Terrica Jennings holding it all together on drums.
If TIME RIFT shows the modern world of rock and roll anything, it's that time is irrelevant, and rock is eternal.

DVP R-001 Mad Butcher – Metal Lightning Attack LP

(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Mad-Butcher-LP-regular-865x1024-1-253x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the first release of its newly founded reissue sub-label, RELICS FROM THE CRYPT: a LONG-overdue of MAD BUTCHER's cult-classic debut album, Metal Lightning Attack, on vinyl LP format.
While it would seem that MAD BUTCHER were inspired by Germany's legendary Destruction, the truth is rather the other way around: MAD BUTCHER predated Destruction by a number of years, and began even earlier than Teutonic metal mainstays Accept, Steeler, Grave Digger, and Living Death. As such, they were one of the first real metal bands in Germany to pick up sonic influence from the burgeoning NWOBHM movement and the early US metal scene. And what they delivered with their ragged 'n' righteous debut album, 1985's Metal Lightning Attack, stands immortal to this day even though it's largely remained a cult curio among diehard metal collectors.
Begun in name in 1980, by band accounts, MAD BUTCHER arrived at their unforgettable moniker from a trip vocalist/bassist Harry Elbracht took to New York City and seeing a butcher's shop sign lit up in big neon. Hailing from Essen, in the working-class Ruhr area, MAD BUTCHER were relentless scene members, travelling to all heavy metal festivals and shows across Europe and England. Curiously, they forewent doing a demo and subsequently became prolific on the live front, playing across Germany with the likes of Warlock, Sodom, Helloween, Sinner, Living Death, and the aforementioned Grave Digger and Steeler; in the United States, they played with Slayer, Exodus, Brocas Helm, and Lääz Rockit. Slayer even wanted MAD BUTCHER to open for them on their European Hell Awaits tour, but the band's management refused it, thus nixing the band's big break.
Nevertheless, MAD BUTCHER were well-rehearsed after all that live activity and were always prepared to go into the recording studio, but time and means always became an issue. When they were finally ready to go into the studio, in 1984, they lost their vocalist and Harry had to take the mic reins; they also had to write eight new songs, in a chaotic rush, to complete a full-length album. Exacerbating this stream of bad luck, "the technical side of the recording became a disaster," says Harry, and the record-pressing plant damaged the master tapes to Metal Lightning Attack, resulting in a subpar sound. Still, there's no discounting the raw energy and excitement across the record, which DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is honored to unleash in its ultimate edition.
Originally released in 1985 by the short-lived Earthshaker Records who also released Living Death's first two albums – MAD BUTCHER's Metal Lightning Attack is a crystallized snapshot of the times. In one sense, you could say the album was "behind the times" given that the band's subgenre-defiant sound spanned ALL heavy metal of the day – from the aforementioned NWOBHM and early '80s US sound, before speed metal and then thrash splintered forth from that wider stylistic pool – but in another, more accurate sense, MAD BUTCHER here kicked out a largely speed metal-oriented sound that thankfully retained the most important aspect, the METAL, and thus retained a more timeless aspect. Guitars are never overdriven, just existing within that sweet netherworld between class and crunch, between rock 'n' roll and a harder place; drums bang along steadily whether the tempo's fast (often) or slower, less often but deliciously hot-rockin' when they do; and what Harry may've lacked in conventional technical prowess, his vocals more than make up for it in sheer attitude and aplomb. So, across the album's 10 songs in 38 minutes, MAD BUTCHER indeed offer up a "lightning metal attack" that brings it from all corners, from speedy surge to down-tempo strut, and always keeping it wild 'n' loose whatever attack they chose. That balance, unselfconscious as it is – between the old tradition and the new traditions then being formed, of just being HEAVY METAL above all – has endeared Metal Lightning Attack to successive generations to this day, and the record remains an ever-relevant relic of times past and times yet to be forged.
And while MAD BUTCHER would disband in 1990, after two officially released albums and a third posthumously released in 2020, their legendry among the true-metal faithful was forever etched with Metal Lightning Attack. Now, for posterity, DYING VICTIMS will bring this lightning to the nations once again, using a powerful remaster by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, on the format it so deserves: vinyl!

DVP 77 Hexecutor – Poison, Lust and Damnation LP Repress

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a repress of HEXECUTOR's killer debut album Poison, Lust and Damnation on LP format.
While the cd edition had first been released in 2016, DYING VICTIMS took care of the vinyl edition in late 2017 and sold out of the album not too long after. Due to high demand, this relentless debut album requires a vinyl repress for sure! Hexecutor's "Poison, Lust and Damnation" is an extremely pure and consistent thrash metal massacre which is rare these days.
With their 2nd album on the way, this is a perfect chance to complete their vinyl collection for anyone who missed the first press.

DVP 151 Toronto – Under Siege compilation CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/UnderSiege-Cover-small-300x300.png)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a 18 track CD compilation featuring TØRONTO's striking debut mini-album, Under Siege, their first self-titled demo and the Nocturnal High ep.
Hailing from Sweden, TØRONTO formed in 2017, partly out of the ashes of the sorely missed Morbus Chron – vocalist/guitarist Edvin Antonfolk and bassist Dag Landin, here under the stage names Eddie Flawless and 79-83, respectively – and also powerhouse drummer Leo Ekström Sollenmo, from the well-respected Lethal Steel and Temisto, under the name Lt. Oxtreme as well as one Seb Cyborg on guitars. With this lineup in place, the quartet released their debut demo in 2018 and then the Nocturnal High tape on DYING VICTIMS later that year, culmulating in the Under Siege MLP earlier in 2020.
Since previous material has been sold out and only available on tape format, this compilation will still the hunger for new material until the debut album will see its light of day. Don't you worry – it's on its way!

DVP 172 Significant Point – Into the Storm LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SIGNIFICANT POINT's highly anticipated debut album, Into the Storm, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Japan, SIGNIFICANT POINT was formed by guitarists Kazuki Kuwagaki and Gou Takeuchi in March 2011. Holding high the banner of old-school speed/heavy metal, they started playing live shows in Tokyo. Through a lot of member changes, SIGNIFICANT POINT released their first demo, Attacker!, in 2014 and the Live at Tokyo CD in 2017. In 2018, the two-song EP Attacker was released on 7" vinyl by France's Inferno Records, and it received a good reaction in the underground scene.
Itormentor (drums) and Kazuhiro Watanabe (bass) joined in 2016 and 2018, respectively, and the current lineup of SIGNIFICANT POINT was at last finalized. In 2019, they started recording their first album. With great help from George Itoh (Risingfall / Military Shadow), it was completed in September 2020 after a year and a half of effort.
Fittingly bearing the title Into the Storm, SIGNIFICANT POINT's debut album is indeed a monsoon of heavy metal mayhem, spanning traditional and epic styles to speed metal and even early power metal. The band live and breathe heavy metal in all its classicist forms, and the quintet know the intrinsic power of hooks and especially variety, both of which are found bountifully across Into the Storm. With enviable ease, SIGNIFICANT POINT marry masterful execution to high drama whilst never losing the importance of actual songs – in other words, no style over substance here. Truly, you will NOT be able to get any of these 10 anthems outta your head, and large credit is due to the poetic dual-guitar interplay of Kuwagaki and Takeuchi; dazzling to say the very least, their leads and solos are almost another singing voice. Which is to take nothing away from the rest of the band, who bring together melodic bass-work, tastefully propulsive drumming, and the high-pitched metal-warrior vocals of George Itoh to create a veritable orchestra of sound.
While the bulk of the lyrics are in English, the unique tonal qualities of Japanese lend Into the Storm comparisons to Loudness' early, proto-epic metal albums like Devil Soldier and The Law of Devil's Land. But casting one's metallic gaze further across continents (and decades), SIGNIFICANT POINT significantly point to myriad elements of such legends as Grim Reaper, Metal Church, Sinner, Cloven Hoof, and Omen on to the culter likes of Shok Paris, Liege Lord, Sortilege, Agent Steel, and Savage Grace, all with a firm grounding in the classics of Scorpions, Rainbow, Judas Priest, UFO, and Iron Maiden. Any way you slice it, the katana of SIGNIFICANT POINT is deadly, so prepare to go Into the Storm!

DVP 173 Sandstorm – Desert Warrior MLP/MCD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Canada's SANDSTORM, Desert Warrior, on CD, 12" vinyl and cassette formats.
It was but the spring of 2020 when DYING VICTIMS unleashed SANDSTORM's debut album, Time to Strike, onto the worldwide metal scene. Prior to that, the Vancouver-based band had self-released the album in early 2019, and while the initial run sold out quickly, it remained a diamond in the rough. But indeed, diamonds shine regardless, and soon enough did Time to Strike's gleam reach all corners of the globe: here was glorious (and gloriously scrappy) pre-speed/thrash HEAVY METAL in the literally ancient, sword-wielding style so favored in the early '80s, rendered in such authentic (and authentically over-the-top) style, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this was some unearthed relic from the era. Word spread, and rightly, that SANDSTORM were the Real Deal.
And now, with the imminent release of Desert Warrior, SANDSTORM prove loudly that they are the REAL fucking DEAL! A swift-yet-generous record at 21 minutes, the four songs comprising Desert Warrior are thematically unified by classic late '60s / early '70s sci-fi tropes, and the power-trio suitably keep the focus squarely on riffs and atmosphere. Those riffs retain the same feeling as the full-length predecessor – nothing overdriven, everything moving at a hot-rockin' pace – and where medieval magick ran riot across a strongly rock 'n' roll backbone, here do SANDSTORM evoke a strong sense of the epic and tragic. That Desert Warrior's atmosphere is noticeably more moody takes nothing away from the metallic heights they reach; if anything, one could liken the mini-album to ghostly NWOBHM bordering on lonerist AOR, but still with a propensity to kick out the jams when needed. For proof, see the aptly titled "Evil Wins" and note the specter of Mercyful Fate floating nearby. Plus, the band aren't monikered SANDSTORM for nothing: it was about damn time they did a record called Desert Warrior and made a musical mini-movie of sorts!
Still obscure and old-school as ever, SANDSTORM etch out an even more undeniable identity with Desert Warrior. Will you enter the wasteland with them?

DVP 174 Night Prowler – No Escape LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present NIGHT PROWLER's stellar debut album, No Escape, on vinyl LP format.
Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, NIGHT PROWLER was formed in 2017 by guitarist Luke D. Couto. Since the beginning, the band was influenced by the iron-clad likes of Saxon, Dokken, Iron Maiden, Running Wild, and Demon among many others: essentially, traditional heavy metal in excelsis.
In early 2017, Couto began working on new compositions for a possible solo material, due to the hiatus of his other bands. The initial idea was to release an EP with five tracks, which were composed in the first half of 2017. However, he needed musicians for the recordings and shows, so the idea of solo album was discarded, and he recruited musicians for the project.
The original lineup of NIGHT PROWLER consisted of Fernando Donasi (vocals), Luke D. Couto (guitar), Igor Senna (guitar), Gabriel Teixeira (bass), and Victor Oliveira (drums). After finishing the songs, the band signed with Kill Again Records and, in 2018, released their debut album, No Escape. Like a lost relic from 1986 or thereabouts, NIGHT PROWLER's debut album presents 10 tracks that are all unified in their fight for metal but each one as different as the next: pumping 'n' virile speed one song, velvety mysticism another; sun-drenched sleaze one song, moodily melodic in another; tough as nails from beginning to end, but unafraid to show a softer side now and again, especially with the spacey synths coating climactic closer "Stranger." And like so many killer private-press metal records from the mid '80s, the production's on the right side of raw, but thankfully never sacrifices any of the inherent heaviness nor earworming hooks. In other words, just like the moniker NIGHT PROWLER itself, No Escape equally evokes the splendors of life after dark as well as its aftermath.
Since then, NIGHT PROWLER have shared stages of clubs and festivals with such bands as Sweden's Air Raid, Murdeath, Breakout, and Flagelador. In 2019, drummer Victor Oliveira left the band and was replaced with former Leather Faces drummer Cave Hoffmann. Since then, they've been working together on new songs and doing several shows promoting their debut album. In the meantime, No Escape is at last unleashed on the most perfect format for classic metal: VINYL!

DVP 155 Midnight Priest – Aggressive Hauntings LP – 2nd Pressing
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MIDNIGHT PRIEST's stellar third album, Aggressive Hauntings, on vinyl LP format. 2nd pressing!
By now a fixture on the true metal scene, Portugal's MIDNIGHT PRIEST have been keeping it true for a dozen years now. With CD releases on such esteemed labels as Stormspell, Metal on Metal, and Slaney, this exceptionally monikered quintet – drummer War Tank, guitarists Iron Fist and Steel Bringer, vocalist Lex Thunder, and bassist Joe Dalton – consistently burn with a proud 'n' powerful sound that's 1000% iron-clad HEAVY METAL.
Of their full-length releases, arguably, it is 2019's Aggressive Hauntings which is their proudest and most powerful statement yet. No great changes made here – cruising-yet-crunchy metal between mid-tempo and speed, tracing a trajectory from classic Lizzy Borden to '80s King Diamond to Painkiller-era Judas Priest – but it's the swagger and confidence MIDNIGHT PRIEST display across this third album that make it absolutely addicting. These are all ANTHEMS, brimming with bravado and drama and total 'n' utter POWER, each one draped in darkness but equally sheathed in steel most glimmering. It's not titled Aggressive Hauntings for nothing!
Dedicated to the memory of metal legends Lemmy, Mark Shelton, and Terry Jones, MIDNIGHT PRIEST's Aggressive Hauntings is at last unleashed on the most perfect format for classic metal: VINYL!

DVP 167 Megaton Sword – Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire LP – 2nd Pressing
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEGATON SWORD's highly anticipated debut album, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, on CD, cassette and vinyl LP formats.
It was but November of last year when MEGATON SWORD unleashed their glorious debut EP, Niralet, via DYING VICTIMS. Arriving fully formed, virtually without warning – no prior demo recordings existed, at least not publicly – this Swiss quartet evinced an ages-old sound that was wise (and wizened) well beyond their young years. Already, MEGATON SWORD knew the mystery of steel...and wielded it with a startling confidence. And no one knew just how high they could fly, only that they were just getting started.
Now, with the arrival of their imminent debut album, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, MEGATON SWORD are marching into the halls of greatness, with no one to stop them. Retaining the same, well-named lineup – vocalist Uzzy Unchained, guitarist Chris the Axe, bassist Simon the Sorcerer, and drummer Dan Thundersteel – MEGATON SWORD maximize the strengths of the EP and then some, revealing new twists to that mystery of steel whilst retaining the charisma and crunch that endeared them to the true-metal underground the first time around. Indeed, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire is aptly titled, almost ridiculously so: this is true-as-steel HEAVY METAL drunk on high fantasy and the enduring themes of conquest and valor, triumph and tragedy, but rendered in a form even bloodier and possessing more bravado. It's also more dynamic, maximizing drama between notes and from one passage to the next, each movement a narrative crucial to their conquest. Those notes are suitably wrapped in a production that's powerful in its clarity and pure in its intention, revealing MEGATON SWORD as both craftsmen and warriors, and never sacrificing grit on the altar of perfection (or vice versa).
Above all, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire is comprised of legitimately awesome SONGS that stick in your head immediately, even when traveling upon a winding, suitably epic path. Each one of the eight contained herein feel far vaster than their succinct track times suggest; credit is thus due to MEGATON SWORD's firing-on-all-cylinders songwriting. Or perhaps it's the patient pacing they employ, which they first revealed on Niralet, allowing each bellow of bathos and push of pathos to ring out and as true as possible; perhaps it's the passion and machismo dripping from every element, every drop of blood, sweat, and tears tangible and intense; or once again, perhaps it's the band simultaneously sounding timeless and fresh, safely evading both rote "retro" throwback and over-modernity in kind, and doing it more effortlessly than ever. Either way, MEGATON SWORD have delivered an album both bold in its ambition yet urgent in its delivery – truly, the thing that classic debut LPs are made of.
With Niralet, we made references to '80s Manowar, Warlord, and Manilla Road as well as early Running Wild and Nasty Savage, but with Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, MEGATON SWORD truly sound like no one but themselves: the growth is palpable, but not once overextended. And graced again with unforgettable cover art courtesy of Adam Burke, one of the best debut albums of the year is ready to be wielded!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TOXIKULL's stellar second album, Cursed and Punished, on vinyl LP format. Licenced from Metal on Metal Records.
Hailing from Portugal, TOXIKULL burst onto the scene fully formed in 2016 with their debut album, Black Sheep. Indeed black sheep amongst the modern metal landscape, the quartet unleashed a fury of classy-yet-OTT speed metal pumped full of thrash overdrive – a sound that, while classically rooted, didn't conveniently slot itself into one category. Leading the charge were the authoritative vocals of ex-Midnight Priest frontman Lex Thunder, here also playing guitar. But Thunder's banshee cries weren't the only arsenal: his bandmates shredded with the best of 'em, putting considerable chops to good use with cruising-yet-crunchy ease.
A couple EPs followed in 2018, but TOXIKULL really hit a fever pitch with their second album, 2019's Cursed and Punished. Everything killer about their debut album was magnified tenfold, everyone going for glory and for the throat, delivering unbridled METAL MAYHEM that was simply impossible not to get swept up in! Each element here positively bristled with electricity and urgency – guitars razor-sharp but dynamic, the leads utterly blistering but with also with memorability, the rhythm section pumping like a locomotive on the way to Hell, and of course, Thunder's vocals reaching new heights of grandeur and...well, height – and all of them were coated in a gleaming production job, courtesy of Miguel Tereso from Demigod Recordings, that sacrificed not ounce of power...in fact, quite the opposite! Through it all, the songwriting was nothing short of stunning; each of these 10 songs could be an anthem itself, and TOXIKULL banged 'em out in a cool 'n' compact 34 minutes, making the listener beg for more.
Looking for a modern answer to old Helstar, Liege Lord, and Jag Panzer but with speed and power to spare? Look no further than TOXIKULL's Cursed and Punished, at last unleashed on the most perfect format for classic metal: VINYL!

DVP 158 HEXECUTOR – Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge... LP 2nd press
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/HeculFinalsmall-300x300.jpg)(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/Hexecutor-LP-1-269x300.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXECUTOR's highly anticipated second album, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge, on vinyl LP format. 2nd press.
It's been four long years since HEXECUTOR released their shockingly masterful debut album, Poison, Lust and Damnation. The "shock" wasn't so much that the French quartet came out of nowhere – indeed, they'd made waves in the underground with their debut demo in 2012 and especially the Hangmen of Roazhon EP two years later (which DYING VICTIMS reissued on 12" vinyl in 2018, to meet demand) – but rather that there existed a band putting an undeniably authentic yet also unique twist on classic mid-'80s speed metal and thrash. HEXECUTOR weren't trying to reinvent language; they were simply trying to expand the lexicon a bit, and they did so with astonishing aplomb on Poison, Lust and Damnation.
But, now rested (and wild!), HEXECUTOR return with an even bolder record in their long-awaited second album, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge. If its no-less-considerable predecessor pushed traditional tropes, Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge topples them altogether! It's all recognizably HEXECUTOR – and immediately, charismatically so – but swirling in their cantankerous cauldron of old Slayer, Razor, Destruction, Sepultura, and Merciless is a passion for classic hard rock and heavy metal and coated in the feeling of Bathory's Blood Fire Death and Manowar's Into Glory Ride. Thus, this second strike is a much more EPIC one, all without striving to be "epic" in the pejorative sense. It's all twisted with grace and gnarliness, in equal measure, as one will find filtered traces of Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep, Blue Öyster Cult, UFO, and even the Eagles as prominently as those of Deströyer 666, Absu, Gospel of the Horns, and Vomitor. HEXECUTOR even touch upon just-as-classic black metal and death metal mainstays as Morbid Angel, Sweden's Dawn, and early Necrophobic, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, and Satyricon...but again, simply hearing Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is witnessing the band's widescreen yet still-wild ways. Slowing down doesn't mean wimping out, and diversity can be a wondrous thing when handled with care and class. In a word, magickal!
Then again, a recording as momentous Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is underpinned by a deep and thoughtful thematic, relating directly to HEXECUTOR's homeland. As heavy metal is a great medium to relate legends and epic stories, HEXECUTOR chose to glorify the beauty of their folklore with a concept album based exclusively on myths, factual history, and fantastic tales kept alive by the oral tradition and collected by authors, folklorists, and poets such as Anatole Le Braz, Paul Sébillot, or François Cadic.
It bears repeating that Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge is a momentous event, and it's suitably graced with amazing artwork courtesy of Skelethal's Jon Whiplash. HEXECUTOR here have delivered a modern classic!

DVP 153 Coltre – Under the Influence LP 2nd press

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present COLTRE's striking debut, Under the Influence, on 12" vinyl formats. 2nd press.
COLTRE was forged in London, England by guitarists Daniel Sweed and Marco Stamigna in May 2019. They met at a Midnight concert and decided to form a band inspired by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. They started rehearsing, and by the beginning of 2020 had recorded the four-song EP Under the Influence, to be released in time for their first gig, supporting Witchtower at Boston Music Rooms.
The band self-released Under the Influence on CD and digital formats, but now DYING VICTIMS steps forward to champion COLTRE's cause and release it as a five-song work, featuring an exclusive new track. Rough and rustic but brimming with an authentically ancient fire, Under the Influence is moody metallic majesty: dark 'n' mysterious riffs, portentously galloping rhythms, epic-yet-direct compositions, and the sage-like pipes of Stagmina atop it all. One could be mistaken for thinking COLTRE were some unearthed relic from the original NWOBHM movement, so hot-rockin' is their swords-aloft surge, evoking high fantasy and urban grit in equal measure, and crucially retaining that pivotal rock 'n' roll thrust Thin Lizzy largely gifted to that movement.
But COLTRE are their own men, and as reverential as they are of these enduring paradigms, Under the Influence is undoubtedly its own creation, its own wild world. You are hereby compelled to go under THEIR influence!

DVP 177 Witchseeker – Scene of the Wild LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/DVP-177-Witchseeker-Scene-of-the-Wild-1024x1024.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present WITCHSEEKER's highly anticipated second album, Scene of the Wild, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Singapore, WITCHSEEKER formed in late 2012, originally as a one-man project by Sheikh Spitfire. By the time of the band's first EP, 2014's Night Rituals, WITCHSEEKER had expanded to a trio but was then pared back to a duo for their debut album, 2017's When the Clock Strikes, with Brandon Speedranger on guitars and Sheikh Spitfire on vocals, bass, and drums.
While traditional metal is not often associated with Singapore, WITCHSEEKER gained the attention of their national scene with a classics-minded style of heavy metal that's packed with power, speed, melody, and aggression. Legions have joined their cause, and over the years, WITCHSEEKER have shared stages with such bands as Firehouse, Enforcer, Destruction, Midnight, Exciter, and many more.
Come 2019, WITCHSEEKER expanded to a quartet with the joining of Aip Sinner on drums and Nick Stormbringer on guitars. With this bolstered lineup, the band then wrote and recorded their second full-length, Scene of the Wild. Aptly titled, Scene of the Wild stylistically spans Sunset Strip hot-rockin' and classy, cruising speed metal alike, all with the finesse and deftness of devotees of all that's timeless and true. Each of these 10 tracks in an anthem unto itself, but each one offers something equally unique. Not here will you find one big blur of sameness: "Lust for Dust" is like a runaway train, while "Nights in Tokyo" offers space, shade, and a yearning heart; "Rock This Night Away" does exactly what it says, while the title track is a ballroom blitz; "Screaming in the Moonlight" is a steady night-time strut, while "Candle in the Dark" struts to a darker, more personal pulse; and plenty more to be experienced elsewhere. Keeping things true, WITCHSEEKER don't let proceedings get too slick, retaining a rawness of approach and authenticity of spirit, together giving Scene of the Wild a "scrappy underdog" aspect not unlike Mötley Crüe's Too Fast for Love.
WITCHSEEKER are a promising band from a small country, just now realizing the depth of their potential. Graced with literally awesome cover art courtesy of Mario Lopez, Scene of the Wild is a vision of heavy metal revolution!

DVP 178 Evil - Possessed by Evil PicLP
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/178-Evil-Possessed-by-Evil-1024x1024.jpg)
Dying Victims Productions is proud to present EVIL's second album, Possessed by Evil on Picture Disc format. The release is licenced from Nuclear War Now! and will include 3 additional live tracks.
As previously demonstrated on the 2017 debut, "Rites of Evil," as well as the demo, two live recordings, and split with Siege Column that have since emerged, these twelve tracks of black/thrash metal once again capture the darkness of first wave black metal and unite it with the aggressive precision of early Teutonic thrash. Previous points of comparison between Evil and early Sodom continue to hold true, as do those that recognize similarities with the most notorious of Japanese hardcore outfits, especially insofar as the unhinged vocal delivery is concerned. Evil is anything but apologetic in its reverence to its metal heritage, which is what lends its recordings such a high degree of authenticity. "Possessed by Evil" is an unabashed conglomerate of riffs, accentuated by incisive leads and rabidly barked vocals. If there is one notable contrast with the debut album, it would be an increased cohesiveness among the instruments. Whereas "Rites of Evil" at times felt a bit loose, the performances on this album are characterized by noticeably tighter synchronicity, which one could logically assume to be the result of the band's greater longevity. In any case, the outcome is one that represents a step forward from an already impressive debut and one that confirms Evil among the best of its black/thrash metal contemporaries.

DVP-R 002 MP – Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human) LP/CD
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/DVP-R002-MP-Bursting-Out-1024x1024.jpg)
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the newly founded sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, is proud to present a reissue of MP's cult-classic debut album, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human), on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Originally released in 1986 on the short-lived Steps Records, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human) was the first recorded statement of Germany's MP. As such, it retains all the electricity and urgency of youth. It also upholds Germany's rich heritage of heavy metal, which spanned the early hot-rockin' throes of post-NWOBHM to the nascent rumblings of speed metal and its subsequent thrash offshoot, and of course the more mainstream stylings which lingered across all those idioms. It was still the 1980s, after all, and "heavy metal" as both a term and especially a musical style & subculture had yet to be too finely locked into boundaries. And with a complete lack of self-consciousness and, in its stead, an abundance of enthusiasm and energy, MP ably crisscrossed all these metals on their debut album, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human).
Indeed, aptly titled, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human) is a measured and never-messy explosion of hooks and heaviness, headbanging and hard-driving speed. Rough and raw yet somehow refined, MP at this stage authentically conveyed a sense of literally living & breathing HEAVY METAL, and each of the 10 should-be anthems comprising their debut full-length delivered the goods, each one as different as the last but altogether unified in their all-out metalness no matter the dynamic being explored. From the locomotive thrust of the opening title track to sleazy, midnight-walking panthers like "Startide Rising" and especially "Out for Love," from the equally sleazy blitz of "On the Loose Again" to the stand-up-and-shout strut of "Fight for Your Life" right after and concluding with the moody push 'n' pull of "World of Tiers," MP covered all '80s-stock metal bases and then some. Naturally, the specter of national heroes Accept loomed large across Bursting Out, but the band could just as handily hold their own with the likes of Living Death, Iron Angel, and Warrant domestically and even Exciter, Abattoir, and Nasty Savage overseas. And if their seemingly odd choice of moniker left any doubt, the trio drove the point home with "MP (Metal Priests)."
MP continued on for two more albums before changing that moniker to Melting Point, the title of their 1992 album still under the MP handle. But, of course, the band's Bursting Out debut is their most beloved album, and one that cemented MP's status as a cult band. Experience it again – or for the first time – on vinyl again since its original release, or on CD with ten live bonus tracks!

DVP 179 Lucifuge – Infernal Power LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fourth album of Germany's LUCIFUGE, Infernal Power, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
For the past five years, LUCIFUGE have been perfecting an addicting style of blackened speed metalpunk, all guided by the iron fist of mainman Equinox. Starting in 2018, the one-man wrecking crew released a demo, an EP, and the Ride the Beast debut album. The next year was no less busy, with two EPs and the second album Der AntiChrist. And just last year, the full-length The One Great Curse was released and then the digital single "Infernal Power."
The latter single proved to be a teaser for LUCIFUGE's fourth album, also titled Infernal Power. Going from strength to strength and now expanded to a full quartet, here does Equinox take his signature sound – greasy 'n' galloping riffs, locomotive rhythmic (dis)charge, and twisted 'n' pissed vocals – and spit-shine them with the dirtiest motor oil known to man. It's all righteously party-hardy stuff, headbanging and boozy to the bitter end, but Infernal Power palatably exudes a startling professionalism usually elusive to those flying the metalpunk banner, no doubt a result of the lineup expansion. Likewise, the EVIL is ramped up here, cobwebs of haunting melodicism draped delicately across LUCIFUGE's no-less-crazed attack. And perhaps most interestingly, Equinox covers GISM's "As Good As It Is," from that legendary Japanese band's cult second album, M.A.N., an idiosyncratic blend of epic metal and noise. Which is all to underline the relatively unique ground LUCIFUGE are travelling with Infernal Power; names such as Inepsy, Blood Spit Nights, and Kriegshog are as easily evoked as those of Exciter, Razor, and English Dogs – and of course, the almighty Warfare and especially equally early Running Wild and Onslaught UK.
The full moon is night, and all the witches are about to dance...prepare to feel LUCIFUGE's Infernal Power!

DVP 180 Insane – Victims LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Sweden's INSANE, Victims, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
For over a decade now, Sweden's INSANE have inconspicuously built a catalog of dark 'n' dirty thrash metal worth reckoning. That they've gone largely unnoticed by all but diehard thrashers is a crime, and attributable more to the sheer abundance of metallic options still coming out of their homeland rather than any lack of quality. In fact, across INSANE's two EPs, three demos, one split, one compilation, and especially 2017's Evil debut album, one will be hard pressed to find a more strident iteration of ripping ancient thrash.
And INSANE continue sticking to their (strident, ripping) guns with their second full-length, Victims. Lyrically focused on the dark world of Swedish murderers, Victims indeed evokes a darker aspect than the already-dark Evil predecessor; the harmonic dual-guitar action sends well-timed shivers down the listener's spine. But just like that preceding LP, here do INSANE show their mastery of epic songcraft, as the majority of the tracks again top five minutes whilst exhibiting that exhilarating rush so crucial to thrash, winding along wildly and ever so slightly touching upon more "tech" textures. If anything, the band engage and challenge in equal measure here, feeding manna to musos and rivetheads alike. Likewise, their iteration of thrash is a multilingual one, varyingly nodding to classic Canadian and German tropes and especially those that have been budding in the wider Scandinavian region more recently and also more "back in the day."
A unique aspect to INSANE that the quartet continue on Victims is the full-bodied, almost rock 'n' roll-ish production: warmly analog but not faked, gritty and dirty but never belabored, and thankfully, nothing ear-piercingly overdriven like so much pizza thrash. Essentially, Victims is for those who like their thrash dank and pure and, above all, well-crafted.
If thrash as a whole has its waves of popularity/oversaturation, depending on the year, INSANE remain resolute as perpendicular maverick ready to challenge the passé and played-out. If you're ready for their bandwagon to start rolling, become one of their Victims NOW!

DVP 181 Bunker 66 – Beyond the Help of Prayers LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BUNKER 66's highly anticipated fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2007, Italy's BUNKER 66 have been proudly (and prolifically) flying the flag of '80s metalpunk, all in the beloved power-trio format. Of course, the joint influence of Motörhead and Venom looms large, but equally so do homeland heroes Bulldozer, the UK's Warfare, early Running Wild, early Bathory and Slayer, later Anti-Cimex, metal-era Gang Green, and any '80s recordings from Discharge and Exciter. With this robust and rust-covered foundation firmly in place, BUNKER 66 recorded a trio of cult albums for High Roller Records as well as a grip of splits with the likes of Italy's Barbarian and Morbo, Brazil's Whipstriker, and most recently Scotland's Vuil. Simply put, they're a cult band for cult fanatics – and we wouldn't have it any other way!
Now, a couple years on from that last-mentioned split with Vuil comes BUNKER 66's long-awaited fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers. The band's first full-length in four years and second with the lineup of co-founders vocalist/bassist Damien Thorne and drummer Dee Dee Altar alongside ex-Schizo guitarist J.J. Priestkiller, Beyond the Help of Prayers is a refreshing blast of old air! Right from the opening, galloping minutes of "To the Gates of Death – Lair of the Profaner," this is 666% BUNKER 66 through and through – all those above influences, all sliced and diced with the deft touch of devotees, but always brimming with a charisma that's undeniable – and thereafter do the hits keep on coming. But, while one could say that Beyond the Help of Prayers is business as usual for the band (and we'd still love it), the album sees BUNKER 66 taking on subtly more epic touches, ones that feel almost swords & sorcery without being obvious about it, or perhaps the post-apocalyptic wasteland vibes of Dee Dee Altar's time in Children of Technology played a significant role? Naturally, the trio keep their noses deep within their realms of the black here, and while they're undoubtedly dirtier and more blasphemous than ever, BUNKER 66 arguably receive their best-sounding production on Beyond the Help of Prayers, which thankfully only maximizes their power that much more.
You can't teach old dogs new tricks, and the same be said – STUNNINGLY – for BUNKER 66, for they're Beyond the Help of Prayers!

DVP-R 003 MP – Get it Now LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the newly founded sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, is proud to present a reissue of MP's cult-classic second album, Get It Now, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Originally released in 1987 on the short-lived Steps Records, Get It Now, was the second recorded statement of Germany's MP. Their debut album from the year before, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human), retained all the electricity and urgency of youth, and subsequently become a cult record for its raw verve. A year older and presumably wiser, the power-trio unleashed a more finessed follow-up in Get It Now. While the band hardly wavered in their approach between the two albums – still spanning the early hot-rockin' throes of post-NWOBHM to the nascent rumblings of speed metal and its subsequent thrash offshoot, and of course the more mainstream stylings which lingered across all those idioms – MP here focused their songwriting into a more streamlined push 'n' pull that was 100% HEAVY METAL personified.
And yet, its year of release provides some (in-hindsight) context for Get It Now's unique and underdog nature, which has thankfully made it an enduring album. Not only in Germany but across the world, traditional metal was on the decline as "hair metal" crept up the pop charts and thrash metal exploded all across the international underground – and lest we forget the first album-length rumblings of death metal. In this landscape, where subgenres started taking hold and "heavy metal" as both a term and especially a musical style & subculture became much more defined, MP doggedly defied the norms and stuck to their increasingly gleaming guns. As such, Get It Now retains a rich, metal-for-metal's-sake balance between slick 'n' speeding burners and grimy fist-shakers. And while the debut album conspicuously nodded toward metal culture with "MP (Metal Priests)," here do MP continue to acknowledge that culture through the wider world's acknowledgement of metal culture with "Rocktober Blood," about the cult horror film of the same name. Elsewhere, the production was taken up a couple notches without losing that raw verve that so endeared the band's debut album, arguably making Get It Now the fullest expression of MP's true metal might.
MP continued on for one more album before changing that moniker to Melting Point, the title of their 1992 album still under the MP handle. Like many overlooked albums within the metal pantheon, Get It Now never truly got its due "back in the day," but thankfully, it sounds surprisingly fresh today, and RELICS FROM THE CRYPT hopes this dog will have its day with this long-overdue reissue!

DVP 182 Natur – Afternoon Nightmare CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present NATUR's great second album, Afternoon Nightmare, on CD format.
About one year after its initial vinyl release through Blasphlegmy and Crypt of Wizard, this glorious heavy metal album will receive its well-deserved CD edition. 8 years after their debut album, internationally acclaimed NATUR with celebrated gigs at festivals such as Live Evil in London or Muskelrock in Sweden, shows with Afternoon Nightmare once again that this band can stay rather low key in these modern times, yet deliver awesome, ancient sounding heavy metal without slipping into any clichés. Authentic and powerful metal for all the old school denim and leather 80's maniacs.

DVP 172 Significant Point – Into the Storm LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SIGNIFICANT POINT's highly anticipated debut album, Into the Storm, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Japan, SIGNIFICANT POINT was formed by guitarists Kazuki Kuwagaki and Gou Takeuchi in March 2011. Holding high the banner of old-school speed/heavy metal, they started playing live shows in Tokyo. Through a lot of member changes, SIGNIFICANT POINT released their first demo, Attacker!, in 2014 and the Live at Tokyo CD in 2017. In 2018, the two-song EP Attacker was released on 7" vinyl by France's Inferno Records, and it received a good reaction in the underground scene.
Itormentor (drums) and Kazuhiro Watanabe (bass) joined in 2016 and 2018, respectively, and the current lineup of SIGNIFICANT POINT was at last finalized. In 2019, they started recording their first album. With great help from George Itoh (Risingfall / Military Shadow), it was completed in September 2020 after a year and a half of effort.
Fittingly bearing the title Into the Storm, SIGNIFICANT POINT's debut album is indeed a monsoon of heavy metal mayhem, spanning traditional and epic styles to speed metal and even early power metal. The band live and breathe heavy metal in all its classicist forms, and the quintet know the intrinsic power of hooks and especially variety, both of which are found bountifully across Into the Storm. With enviable ease, SIGNIFICANT POINT marry masterful execution to high drama whilst never losing the importance of actual songs – in other words, no style over substance here. Truly, you will NOT be able to get any of these 10 anthems outta your head, and large credit is due to the poetic dual-guitar interplay of Kuwagaki and Takeuchi; dazzling to say the very least, their leads and solos are almost another singing voice. Which is to take nothing away from the rest of the band, who bring together melodic bass-work, tastefully propulsive drumming, and the high-pitched metal-warrior vocals of George Itoh to create a veritable orchestra of sound.
While the bulk of the lyrics are in English, the unique tonal qualities of Japanese lend Into the Storm comparisons to Loudness' early, proto-epic metal albums like Devil Soldier and The Law of Devil's Land. But casting one's metallic gaze further across continents (and decades), SIGNIFICANT POINT significantly point to myriad elements of such legends as Grim Reaper, Metal Church, Sinner, Cloven Hoof, and Omen on to the culter likes of Shok Paris, Liege Lord, Sortilege, Agent Steel, and Savage Grace, all with a firm grounding in the classics of Scorpions, Rainbow, Judas Priest, UFO, and Iron Maiden. Any way you slice it, the katana of SIGNIFICANT POINT is deadly, so prepare to go Into the Storm!

DVP 173 Sandstorm – Desert Warrior MLP/MCD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Canada's SANDSTORM, Desert Warrior, on CD, 12" vinyl and cassette formats.
It was but the spring of 2020 when DYING VICTIMS unleashed SANDSTORM's debut album, Time to Strike, onto the worldwide metal scene. Prior to that, the Vancouver-based band had self-released the album in early 2019, and while the initial run sold out quickly, it remained a diamond in the rough. But indeed, diamonds shine regardless, and soon enough did Time to Strike's gleam reach all corners of the globe: here was glorious (and gloriously scrappy) pre-speed/thrash HEAVY METAL in the literally ancient, sword-wielding style so favored in the early '80s, rendered in such authentic (and authentically over-the-top) style, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this was some unearthed relic from the era. Word spread, and rightly, that SANDSTORM were the Real Deal.
And now, with the imminent release of Desert Warrior, SANDSTORM prove loudly that they are the REAL fucking DEAL! A swift-yet-generous record at 21 minutes, the four songs comprising Desert Warrior are thematically unified by classic late '60s / early '70s sci-fi tropes, and the power-trio suitably keep the focus squarely on riffs and atmosphere. Those riffs retain the same feeling as the full-length predecessor – nothing overdriven, everything moving at a hot-rockin' pace – and where medieval magick ran riot across a strongly rock 'n' roll backbone, here do SANDSTORM evoke a strong sense of the epic and tragic. That Desert Warrior's atmosphere is noticeably more moody takes nothing away from the metallic heights they reach; if anything, one could liken the mini-album to ghostly NWOBHM bordering on lonerist AOR, but still with a propensity to kick out the jams when needed. For proof, see the aptly titled "Evil Wins" and note the specter of Mercyful Fate floating nearby. Plus, the band aren't monikered SANDSTORM for nothing: it was about damn time they did a record called Desert Warrior and made a musical mini-movie of sorts!
Still obscure and old-school as ever, SANDSTORM etch out an even more undeniable identity with Desert Warrior. Will you enter the wasteland with them?

DVP 171 Heavy Sentence – Bang to Rights CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS and Crypt of the Wizard are proud to present HEAVY SENTENCE's highly anticipated debut album, Bang to Rights, on CD and music cassette (DVP) as well as vinyl LP (CotW) formats.
One of the hottest propositions in the UK's resurgent traditional metal scene, HEAVY SENTENCE have kept the emphasis on quality over quantity since their formation in the mid-2010s. Just like the early days of the NWOBHM, HEAVY SENTENCE made their recorded debut with a two-song 7" in 2017, followed a year later by another two-song 7". Both graced with stark, gritty, but endearingly basement-level cover art, these two singles evinced an ageless verve and vivacity in stark contrast with the band's meager years. And yet, HEAVY SENTENCE include among their ranks scene veterans who do or have done time in labelmates AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR, Wode, Exxxekutioner, Sump, and Wóddréa Mylenstede among others, so perhaps that inherent wisdom should be no surprise.... Either way, with just four songs to their name and a clutch of raucous live gigs, anticipation has been feverish for a full-length.
At last, it arrives bearing the call-to-arms title Bang to Rights. Tight and taut at 10 songs in 37 minutes, HEAVY SENTENCE's debut album is a well-oiled machine of absolute ANTHEMS destined for classic status. No more but certainly no less, Bang to Rights is everything HEAVY SENTENCE have been since the very beginning: deceptively energetic mid-tempo HEAVY METAL roughened up by the spectre of punk, much like (again) those early days of the NWOBHM. Of course, the band are apt to kick into a gallop from time to time, but the emphasis is always on go-for-the-throat songwriting that only street-walking cheetahs with hearts full of napalm can produce. Of course, Motörhead's glorious works of the 1980s loom large here – from Iron Fist to Rock 'n' Roll, and even Another Perfect Day – but it's HEAVY SENTENCE's attitude and charisma which triumph over all. Equally back-alley belligerent and high-adventure fantastical, Bang to Rights is informed by early '80s Thin Lizzy as equally as prime Saxon, with HEAVY SENTENCE here continuing the lineal dots connecting Heavy Load, Omen, Lord Weird Slough Feg, and October 31 onward to the metalpunk revolution fostered by Midnight. In short, timeless and eternal and fucking unyielding.
A HEAVY SENTENCE is coming your way...'Cos you are BANG TO RIGHTS!

DVP 183 Eisenhand – Fires Within LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present EISENHAND's striking debut album, Fires Within, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
EISENHAND are a relatively new entity hailing from Austria. The band made their recorded debut in 2018 with the accurately titled Demonstration Tape and followed it with another demo, White Fortress, the following year. During that time, EISENHAND took to the stage, reveling in the raucous experience of live performance, and their two recordings to date ably captured that spirit. And while a couple of members have done time in more overtly black metal-styled bands, EISENHAND's sound stridently recalls the pre-thrash days of heavy metal: whether the style was early power metal or belatedly-applied epic metal or simply speed metal straight from the garage, subgenre delineations matter not when faced with such stout-hearted bravado and blanching passion.
Thankfully, all that rough-hewn promise and poise spill forth across EISENHAND's full-length debut, Fires Within. Indeed aptly titled, Fires Within absolutely brims with a fiery authenticity that's simultaneously ancient and fresh-sounding. Moody in their melodicism, bristling with electricity at every turn, and incredibly dynamic even with their bursting-at-the-seams execution, EISENHAND weave majestic tales of the supernatural and strange that get stuck in your head even when song lengths easily slot into the five-to-nine-minute range. But the seven-track/45-minute Fires Within is simply the format it needs to be, no more and definitely no less: "Steel City Sorcery," "Dizzying Heights" and the reprised "White Fortress" and "Ancient Symbols" are but some of those tales, each as crucial as the one before and the one to come... All is EPIC here, without being overstated about it – myth and magic and also modesty.
Names invoked include Gotham City, Bashful Alley, earliest Omen, Brocas Helm, Kat, Turbo, Magnesium, or early Slayer, as well labelmates like MEGATON SWORD, SANDSTORM, COLTRE, SOULCASTER and MIDNIGHT PREY, but on evidence of these Fires Within, EISENHAND are already on their way to lighting a new torch! Are you prepared to get burned?

DVP 184 Parish – God's Right Hand MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut EP of England's PARISH, God's Right Hand, on CD format.
PARISH are a proto-metal power-trio hailing from London.Despite forming just a few years ago, their sound is as ancient as it comes – as in deep, WAY DEEP, into the '70s. Their two-song Famine, War demo in early 2019 was but a foretaste of the archaic splendor to come. At twice as many songs, four-pronged just like its simple-yet-elegant cover art, God's Right Hand is PARISH hitting a peak enviously early in their career.
To say that the PARISH of God's Right Hand is indebted to earliest Black Sabbath is both accurate and misleading. While just about any doom-oriented band could be likened to the almighty Sabs, PARISH's resemblance is a literally spiritual one: their measured 'n' melancholic take on heavy ROCK bears an aeons-old fear of God and a pensive, even-pastoral expression of it – cranked to 11. Just witness the stomping opener "Apothecary" and the way PARISH wind the listener from the grimy backstreets all the way out to the barren countryside with mystical closer "By a Bandit's Knife." In between, the Sabbathian push 'n' pound opens up to include shades of Witchfinder General, Pagan Altar, and even Trouble. But the richly analog recording of God's Right Hand absolutely bleeds ancient-days authenticity, and wholly whisks the listener away from any sense of modernity...
The church bells toll and the mass is to begin...head to PARISH and witness God's Right Hand!

DVP 177 Witchseeker – Scene of the Wild LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present WITCHSEEKER's highly anticipated second album, Scene of the Wild, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Singapore, WITCHSEEKER formed in late 2012, originally as a one-man project by Sheikh Spitfire. By the time of the band's first EP, 2014's Night Rituals, WITCHSEEKER had expanded to a trio but was then pared back to a duo for their debut album, 2017's When the Clock Strikes, with Brandon Speedranger on guitars and Sheikh Spitfire on vocals, bass, and drums.
While traditional metal is not often associated with Singapore, WITCHSEEKER gained the attention of their national scene with a classics-minded style of heavy metal that's packed with power, speed, melody, and aggression. Legions have joined their cause, and over the years, WITCHSEEKER have shared stages with such bands as Firehouse, Enforcer, Destruction, Midnight, Exciter, and many more.
Come 2019, WITCHSEEKER expanded to a quartet with the joining of Aip Sinner on drums and Nick Stormbringer on guitars. With this bolstered lineup, the band then wrote and recorded their second full-length, Scene of the Wild. Aptly titled, Scene of the Wild stylistically spans Sunset Strip hot-rockin' and classy, cruising speed metal alike, all with the finesse and deftness of devotees of all that's timeless and true. Each of these 10 tracks in an anthem unto itself, but each one offers something equally unique. Not here will you find one big blur of sameness: "Lust for Dust" is like a runaway train, while "Nights in Tokyo" offers space, shade, and a yearning heart; "Rock This Night Away" does exactly what it says, while the title track is a ballroom blitz; "Screaming in the Moonlight" is a steady night-time strut, while "Candle in the Dark" struts to a darker, more personal pulse; and plenty more to be experienced elsewhere. Keeping things true, WITCHSEEKER don't let proceedings get too slick, retaining a rawness of approach and authenticity of spirit, together giving Scene of the Wild a "scrappy underdog" aspect not unlike Mötley Crüe's Too Fast for Love.
WITCHSEEKER are a promising band from a small country, just now realizing the depth of their potential. Graced with literally awesome cover art courtesy of Mario Lopez, Scene of the Wild is a vision of heavy metal revolution!

DVP-R 002 MP – Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human) LP/b]
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the newly founded sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, is proud to present a reissue of MP's cult-classic debut album, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human), on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Originally released in 1986 on the short-lived Steps Records, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human) was the first recorded statement of Germany's MP. As such, it retains all the electricity and urgency of youth. It also upholds Germany's rich heritage of heavy metal, which spanned the early hot-rockin' throes of post-NWOBHM to the nascent rumblings of speed metal and its subsequent thrash offshoot, and of course the more mainstream stylings which lingered across all those idioms. It was still the 1980s, after all, and "heavy metal" as both a term and especially a musical style & subculture had yet to be too finely locked into boundaries. And with a complete lack of self-consciousness and, in its stead, an abundance of enthusiasm and energy, MP ably crisscrossed all these metals on their debut album, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human).
Indeed, aptly titled, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human) is a measured and never-messy explosion of hooks and heaviness, headbanging and hard-driving speed. Rough and raw yet somehow refined, MP at this stage authentically conveyed a sense of literally living & breathing HEAVY METAL, and each of the 10 should-be anthems comprising their debut full-length delivered the goods, each one as different as the last but altogether unified in their all-out metalness no matter the dynamic being explored. From the locomotive thrust of the opening title track to sleazy, midnight-walking panthers like "Startide Rising" and especially "Out for Love," from the equally sleazy blitz of "On the Loose Again" to the stand-up-and-shout strut of "Fight for Your Life" right after and concluding with the moody push 'n' pull of "World of Tiers," MP covered all '80s-stock metal bases and then some. Naturally, the specter of national heroes Accept loomed large across Bursting Out, but the band could just as handily hold their own with the likes of Living Death, Iron Angel, and Warrant domestically and even Exciter, Abattoir, and Nasty Savage overseas. And if their seemingly odd choice of moniker left any doubt, the trio drove the point home with "MP (Metal Priests)."
MP continued on for two more albums before changing that moniker to Melting Point, the title of their 1992 album still under the MP handle. But, of course, the band's Bursting Out debut is their most beloved album, and one that cemented MP's status as a cult band. Experience it again – or for the first time – on vinyl again since its original release, or on CD with five live bonus tracks!

DVP 178 Evil – Possessed by Evil PicLP
Dying Victims Productions is proud to present EVIL's second album, Possessed by Evil on Picture Disc format. The release is licenced from Nuclear War Now! and will include 3 additional live tracks.
As previously demonstrated on the 2017 debut, "Rites of Evil," as well as the demo, two live recordings, and split with Siege Column that have since emerged, these twelve tracks of black/thrash metal once again capture the darkness of first wave black metal and unite it with the aggressive precision of early Teutonic thrash. Previous points of comparison between Evil and early Sodom continue to hold true, as do those that recognize similarities with the most notorious of Japanese hardcore outfits, especially insofar as the unhinged vocal delivery is concerned. Evil is anything but apologetic in its reverence to its metal heritage, which is what lends its recordings such a high degree of authenticity. "Possessed by Evil" is an unabashed conglomerate of riffs, accentuated by incisive leads and rabidly barked vocals. If there is one notable contrast with the debut album, it would be an increased cohesiveness among the instruments. Whereas "Rites of Evil" at times felt a bit loose, the performances on this album are characterized by noticeably tighter synchronicity, which one could logically assume to be the result of the band's greater longevity. In any case, the outcome is one that represents a step forward from an already impressive debut and one that confirms Evil among the best of its black/thrash metal contemporaries.

DVP 179 Lucifuge – Infernal Power CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fourth album of Germany's LUCIFUGE, Infernal Power, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
For the past five years, LUCIFUGE have been perfecting an addicting style of blackened speed metalpunk, all guided by the iron fist of mainman Equinox. Starting in 2018, the one-man wrecking crew released a demo, an EP, and the Ride the Beast debut album. The next year was no less busy, with two EPs and the second album Der AntiChrist. And just last year, the full-length The One Great Curse was released and then the digital single "Infernal Power."
The latter single proved to be a teaser for LUCIFUGE's fourth album, also titled Infernal Power. Going from strength to strength and now expanded to a full quartet, here does Equinox take his signature sound – greasy 'n' galloping riffs, locomotive rhythmic (dis)charge, and twisted 'n' pissed vocals – and spit-shine them with the dirtiest motor oil known to man. It's all righteously party-hardy stuff, headbanging and boozy to the bitter end, but Infernal Power palatably exudes a startling professionalism usually elusive to those flying the metalpunk banner, no doubt a result of the lineup expansion. Likewise, the EVIL is ramped up here, cobwebs of haunting melodicism draped delicately across LUCIFUGE's no-less-crazed attack. And perhaps most interestingly, Equinox covers GISM's "As Good As It Is," from that legendary Japanese band's cult second album, M.A.N., an idiosyncratic blend of epic metal and noise. Which is all to underline the relatively unique ground LUCIFUGE are travelling with Infernal Power; names such as Inepsy, Blood Spit Nights, and Kriegshog are as easily evoked as those of Exciter, Razor, and English Dogs – and of course, the almighty Warfare and especially equally early Running Wild and Onslaught UK.
The full moon is night, and all the witches are about to dance...prepare to feel LUCIFUGE's Infernal Power!

DVP 180 Insane – Victims LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Sweden's INSANE, Victims, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
For over a decade now, Sweden's INSANE have inconspicuously built a catalog of dark 'n' dirty thrash metal worth reckoning. That they've gone largely unnoticed by all but diehard thrashers is a crime, and attributable more to the sheer abundance of metallic options still coming out of their homeland rather than any lack of quality. In fact, across INSANE's two EPs, three demos, one split, one compilation, and especially 2017's Evil debut album, one will be hard pressed to find a more strident iteration of ripping ancient thrash.
And INSANE continue sticking to their (strident, ripping) guns with their second full-length, Victims. Lyrically focused on the dark world of Swedish murderers, Victims indeed evokes a darker aspect than the already-dark Evil predecessor; the harmonic dual-guitar action sends well-timed shivers down the listener's spine. But just like that preceding LP, here do INSANE show their mastery of epic songcraft, as the majority of the tracks again top five minutes whilst exhibiting that exhilarating rush so crucial to thrash, winding along wildly and ever so slightly touching upon more "tech" textures. If anything, the band engage and challenge in equal measure here, feeding manna to musos and rivetheads alike. Likewise, their iteration of thrash is a multilingual one, varyingly nodding to classic Canadian and German tropes and especially those that have been budding in the wider Scandinavian region more recently and also more "back in the day."
A unique aspect to INSANE that the quartet continue on Victims is the full-bodied, almost rock 'n' roll-ish production: warmly analog but not faked, gritty and dirty but never belabored, and thankfully, nothing ear-piercingly overdriven like so much pizza thrash. Essentially, Victims is for those who like their thrash dank and pure and, above all, well-crafted.
If thrash as a whole has its waves of popularity/oversaturation, depending on the year, INSANE remain resolute as perpendicular maverick ready to challenge the passé and played-out. If you're ready for their bandwagon to start rolling, become one of their Victims NOW!

DVP 181 Bunker 66 – Beyond the Help of Prayers CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BUNKER 66's highly anticipated fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2007, Italy's BUNKER 66 have been proudly (and prolifically) flying the flag of '80s metalpunk, all in the beloved power-trio format. Of course, the joint influence of Motörhead and Venom looms large, but equally so do homeland heroes Bulldozer, the UK's Warfare, early Running Wild, early Bathory and Slayer, later Anti-Cimex, metal-era Gang Green, and any '80s recordings from Discharge and Exciter. With this robust and rust-covered foundation firmly in place, BUNKER 66 recorded a trio of cult albums for High Roller Records as well as a grip of splits with the likes of Italy's Barbarian and Morbo, Brazil's Whipstriker, and most recently Scotland's Vuil. Simply put, they're a cult band for cult fanatics – and we wouldn't have it any other way!
Now, a couple years on from that last-mentioned split with Vuil comes BUNKER 66's long-awaited fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers. The band's first full-length in four years and second with the lineup of co-founders vocalist/bassist Damien Thorne and drummer Dee Dee Altar alongside ex-Schizo guitarist J.J. Priestkiller, Beyond the Help of Prayers is a refreshing blast of old air! Right from the opening, galloping minutes of "To the Gates of Death – Lair of the Profaner," this is 666% BUNKER 66 through and through – all those above influences, all sliced and diced with the deft touch of devotees, but always brimming with a charisma that's undeniable – and thereafter do the hits keep on coming. But, while one could say that Beyond the Help of Prayers is business as usual for the band (and we'd still love it), the album sees BUNKER 66 taking on subtly more epic touches, ones that feel almost swords & sorcery without being obvious about it, or perhaps the post-apocalyptic wasteland vibes of Dee Dee Altar's time in Children of Technology played a significant role? Naturally, the trio keep their noses deep within their realms of the black here, and while they're undoubtedly dirtier and more blasphemous than ever, BUNKER 66 arguably receive their best-sounding production on Beyond the Help of Prayers, which thankfully only maximizes their power that much more.
You can't teach old dogs new tricks, and the same be said – STUNNINGLY – for BUNKER 66, for they're Beyond the Help of Prayers!

DVP-R 003 MP – Get it Now LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the newly founded sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, is proud to present a reissue of MP's cult-classic second album, Get It Now, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Originally released in 1987 on the short-lived Steps Records, Get It Now, was the second recorded statement of Germany's MP. Their debut album from the year before, Bursting Out (The Beast Became Human), retained all the electricity and urgency of youth, and subsequently become a cult record for its raw verve. A year older and presumably wiser, the power-trio unleashed a more finessed follow-up in Get It Now. While the band hardly wavered in their approach between the two albums – still spanning the early hot-rockin' throes of post-NWOBHM to the nascent rumblings of speed metal and its subsequent thrash offshoot, and of course the more mainstream stylings which lingered across all those idioms – MP here focused their songwriting into a more streamlined push 'n' pull that was 100% HEAVY METAL personified.
And yet, its year of release provides some (in-hindsight) context for Get It Now's unique and underdog nature, which has thankfully made it an enduring album. Not only in Germany but across the world, traditional metal was on the decline as "hair metal" crept up the pop charts and thrash metal exploded all across the international underground – and lest we forget the first album-length rumblings of death metal. In this landscape, where subgenres started taking hold and "heavy metal" as both a term and especially a musical style & subculture became much more defined, MP doggedly defied the norms and stuck to their increasingly gleaming guns. As such, Get It Now retains a rich, metal-for-metal's-sake balance between slick 'n' speeding burners and grimy fist-shakers. And while the debut album conspicuously nodded toward metal culture with "MP (Metal Priests)," here do MP continue to acknowledge that culture through the wider world's acknowledgement of metal culture with "Rocktober Blood," about the cult horror film of the same name. Elsewhere, the production was taken up a couple notches without losing that raw verve that so endeared the band's debut album, arguably making Get It Now the fullest expression of MP's true metal might.
MP continued on for one more album before changing that moniker to Melting Point, the title of their 1992 album still under the MP handle. Like many overlooked albums within the metal pantheon, Get It Now never truly got its due "back in the day," but thankfully, it sounds surprisingly fresh today, and RELICS FROM THE CRYPT hopes this dog will have its day with this long-overdue reissue!

DVP 186 Karloff – The Appearing LP/CD/MC/T-Shirt
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KARLOFF's highly anticipated debut album, The Appearing, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Germany, KARLOFF formed in 2018 as a means for erstwhile Graveyard Ghoul member Tom Horrified to blow off some punk-oriented steam with a couple close comrades. Describing their sound as "raw obscure punk turns into blackness," it didn't take long for the band to record their first recording, Demo '18, but it was the following Raw Nights mini-album a year later where KARLOFF kicked into high gear. Released to widespread acclaim by DYING VICTIMS with the preceding demo tracks tacked on, Raw Nights strutted with sleazy confidence and an infectious sense of bash/crash/slash that struck deep into the heart of what makes the best of both punk and metal. But, the best was still come from KARLOFF...
At last, it arrives with their long-awaited debut album, The Appearing. If KARLOFF's previous two short-lengths presented them as a more gutter-level Midnight, then The Appearing recasts the band in a totally new, altogether more unique light – and one that's still brimming with that ever-special twist of olde-worlde evil. Rich and robust and ripplingly muscular, The Appearing struts like a cheetah with a heart full of napalm and flexes like nobody's business. In fact, the lead-heavy stomp here harkens to ancient-days metalpunk like Carnivore, Best Wishes-era Cro-Mags, or even early Nasty Savage; equally, one could also point to the more modern likes of Iron Age, Shitfucker, and The Rival Mob. However, the creepiness KARLOFF hinted at earlier reaches a fever pitch across the tastefully-applied chorus FX, a subtle nod to post-punk that ably broadens the band's reach without sacrificing their vision. More than all that, it's the songwriting of The Appearing which renders it an intensely re-playable record: exciting, invigorating, and skillfully finding that balance between the seemingly epic and the swiftly concise.
Ghouls and ghosts, thugs and thieves: KARLOFF are calling upon you to witness The Appearing!

DVP 187 Fate's Hand – Fate's Hand MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking self-titled debut EP by FATE'S HAND on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
With the roar of parting waves and the call of a thousand ravens, Australian heavy metal thunders into new being, bearing the ever-ominous moniker FATE'S HAND. Reverberating opuses, wrought straight from tales lost in time but ever-present in the blood of fellow men, across the band's self-titled debut EP does visceral melody grasp tightly on the spear of classic heavy metal, hearkening to the genre's progenitors and in the same breath taunting, daring the very same gods. In a word, Fate's Hand is both old and new, surprising and unsurpassed.
Perhaps not surprising is the fact that FATE'S HAND comprises various members from Australia's esteemed extreme metal scene, such heavyweights as Mongrel's Cross, Impetuous Ritual, and Stargazer. While the same peerless standards of quality run rampant across the band's debut statement, this formation are their own masters, and empowered as such, FATE'S HAND deftly draw from the primordial well of Northern lore and attack in a savage foray of traditionalist heavy metal. And this is but the mere start of battles to be waged...
Expect less and your life is forfeit. FATE'S HAND draw first sword!

DVP-R 005 Breathless – Breathless LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the newly founded sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, is proud to present a reissue of the killer self-titled debut album from Belgium's BREATHLESS on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Genk, Belgium's BREATHLESS was founded in 1983 by Antonio and Dirk. Antonio already had experience as a drummer in the punk rock bands The Visions and Transylvania, and Dirk had previously played in Hammerhead. Antonio knew Stanis, brother of the guitarist and singer of The Visions, and asked him to join the band as bass player. Because many metal bands had two guitar players at the time, it was decided to look for an additional guitarist. Dirk was friends with Laky, but Laky had never held a guitar before... Friendship being one of the key values of the band, Dirk suggested to teach Laky how to play the guitar, and so he joined the band. Finally, Pascal (who was only 14 years old at that time) was brought in as singer.
The driving force of BREATHELESS was to impress, push the boundaries, deliver high-level tempo changes, and dark and angry vocals – both high and low, which was quite remarkable in the Belgian metal scene of that time. Supporting gigs of international acts followed: BREATHLESS joined Warlock, Helloween, Tyson Dog, and Axe Victims onstage.
BREATHLESS' debut album was recorded in 10 days. Local record store Gigaswing wanted to release the album, and so the long-player Breathless was born. The LP was well received everywhere, good reviews appeared in the metal magazines, gigs followed, the fanbase expanded...and then came the decline, when the lineup quickly crumbled away...
However, what was captured on BREATHLESS' sadly only album was pure metal magic: unhinged, unselfconscious, and unlike most of their Belgian contemporaries. Neither strictly traditional metal nor speed metal nor hard rock nor latent NWOBHM, Breathless was a blender of all the tastes of the time, and its indeed-breathless rush was sublime in its sheer energy and electricity. Take the needle of your turntable and drop it anywhere across the album and you'll be met with raw finesse and total abandon and even exceptionally placed moments of epic quietude – simply, all-out freedom in the spirit of the mid '80s before metallic boundaries were firmly drawn out and laid down. Put another way, one look at the cover of Breathless and BREATHLESS' attendant logo and you just KNOW what you're in for!
Ridiculously rare in its original vinyl guise and never officially released on CD, BREATHLESS' legendary lone document now arrives bearing the full RELICS FROM THE CRYPT treatment. Don your best striped spandex, raise your beers, and get Breathless!

If we are talking High Speed Metal these days, one simply HAS to talk about Vulture! The band shows quite the work ethics and delivers their already 3rd album in their relatively short career, but do not make the mistake and expect any half assed, weak material on here. Working hard on carefully evolving their overall sound and especially the individual tracks, they have managed to streamline the material to 10 even more concise and catchy speed metal hymns.

DVP 171 Heavy Sentence – Bang to Rights CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS and Crypt of the Wizard are proud to present HEAVY SENTENCE's highly anticipated debut album, Bang to Rights, on CD and music cassette (DVP) as well as vinyl LP (CotW) formats.
One of the hottest propositions in the UK's resurgent traditional metal scene, HEAVY SENTENCE have kept the emphasis on quality over quantity since their formation in the mid-2010s. Just like the early days of the NWOBHM, HEAVY SENTENCE made their recorded debut with a two-song 7" in 2017, followed a year later by another two-song 7". Both graced with stark, gritty, but endearingly basement-level cover art, these two singles evinced an ageless verve and vivacity in stark contrast with the band's meager years. And yet, HEAVY SENTENCE include among their ranks scene veterans who do or have done time in labelmates AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR, Wode, Exxxekutioner, Sump, and Wóddréa Mylenstede among others, so perhaps that inherent wisdom should be no surprise.... Either way, with just four songs to their name and a clutch of raucous live gigs, anticipation has been feverish for a full-length.
At last, it arrives bearing the call-to-arms title Bang to Rights. Tight and taut at 10 songs in 37 minutes, HEAVY SENTENCE's debut album is a well-oiled machine of absolute ANTHEMS destined for classic status. No more but certainly no less, Bang to Rights is everything HEAVY SENTENCE have been since the very beginning: deceptively energetic mid-tempo HEAVY METAL roughened up by the spectre of punk, much like (again) those early days of the NWOBHM. Of course, the band are apt to kick into a gallop from time to time, but the emphasis is always on go-for-the-throat songwriting that only street-walking cheetahs with hearts full of napalm can produce. Of course, Motörhead's glorious works of the 1980s loom large here – from Iron Fist to Rock 'n' Roll, and even Another Perfect Day – but it's HEAVY SENTENCE's attitude and charisma which triumph over all. Equally back-alley belligerent and high-adventure fantastical, Bang to Rights is informed by early '80s Thin Lizzy as equally as prime Saxon, with HEAVY SENTENCE here continuing the lineal dots connecting Heavy Load, Omen, Lord Weird Slough Feg, and October 31 onward to the metalpunk revolution fostered by Midnight. In short, timeless and eternal and fucking unyielding.
A HEAVY SENTENCE is coming your way...'Cos you are BANG TO RIGHTS!

DVP 181 Bunker 66 – Beyond the Help of Prayers LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BUNKER 66's highly anticipated fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2007, Italy's BUNKER 66 have been proudly (and prolifically) flying the flag of '80s metalpunk, all in the beloved power-trio format. Of course, the joint influence of Motörhead and Venom looms large, but equally so do homeland heroes Bulldozer, the UK's Warfare, early Running Wild, early Bathory and Slayer, later Anti-Cimex, metal-era Gang Green, and any '80s recordings from Discharge and Exciter. With this robust and rust-covered foundation firmly in place, BUNKER 66 recorded a trio of cult albums for High Roller Records as well as a grip of splits with the likes of Italy's Barbarian and Morbo, Brazil's Whipstriker, and most recently Scotland's Vuil.

DVP 183 Eisenhand – Fires Within LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present EISENHAND's striking debut album, Fires Within, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
EISENHAND are a relatively new entity hailing from Austria. The band made their recorded debut in 2018 with the accurately titled Demonstration Tape and followed it with another demo, White Fortress, the following year. During that time, EISENHAND took to the stage, reveling in the raucous experience of live performance, and their two recordings to date ably captured that spirit. And while a couple of members have done time in more overtly black metal-styled bands, EISENHAND's sound stridently recalls the pre-thrash days of heavy metal: whether the style was early power metal or belatedly-applied epic metal or simply speed metal straight from the garage, subgenre delineations matter not when faced with such stout-hearted bravado and blanching passion.
Thankfully, all that rough-hewn promise and poise spill forth across EISENHAND's full-length debut, Fires Within. Indeed aptly titled, Fires Within absolutely brims with a fiery authenticity that's simultaneously ancient and fresh-sounding. Moody in their melodicism, bristling with electricity at every turn, and incredibly dynamic even with their bursting-at-the-seams execution, EISENHAND weave majestic tales of the supernatural and strange that get stuck in your head even when song lengths easily slot into the five-to-nine-minute range. But the seven-track/45-minute Fires Within is simply the format it needs to be, no more and definitely no less: "Steel City Sorcery," "Dizzying Heights" and the reprised "White Fortress" and "Ancient Symbols" are but some of those tales, each as crucial as the one before and the one to come... All is EPIC here, without being overstated about it – myth and magic and also modesty.
Names invoked include Gotham City, Bashful Alley, earliest Omen, Brocas Helm, Kat, Turbo, Magnesium, or early Slayer, as well labelmates like MEGATON SWORD, SANDSTORM, COLTRE, SOULCASTER and MIDNIGHT PREY, but on evidence of these Fires Within, EISENHAND are already on their way to lighting a new torch!

DVP 184 Parish – God's Right Hand MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut EP of England's PARISH, God's Right Hand, on CD format.
PARISH are a proto-metal power-trio hailing from London.Despite forming just a few years ago, their sound is as ancient as it comes – as in deep, WAY DEEP, into the '70s. Their two-song Famine, War demo in early 2019 was but a foretaste of the archaic splendor to come. At twice as many songs, four-pronged just like its simple-yet-elegant cover art, God's Right Hand is PARISH hitting a peak enviously early in their career.
To say that the PARISH of God's Right Hand is indebted to earliest Black Sabbath is both accurate and misleading. While just about any doom-oriented band could be likened to the almighty Sabs, PARISH's resemblance is a literally spiritual one: their measured 'n' melancholic take on heavy ROCK bears an aeons-old fear of God and a pensive, even-pastoral expression of it – cranked to 11. Just witness the stomping opener "Apothecary" and the way PARISH wind the listener from the grimy backstreets all the way out to the barren countryside with mystical closer "By a Bandit's Knife." In between, the Sabbathian push 'n' pound opens up to include shades of Witchfinder General, Pagan Altar, and even Trouble. But the richly analog recording of God's Right Hand absolutely bleeds ancient-days authenticity, and wholly whisks the listener away from any sense of modernity...

DVP 189 Vulture – Dealin' Death MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the 3rd album from Germany's VULTURE, Dealin' Death, on music cassette.
If we are talking High Speed Metal these days, one simply HAS to talk about Vulture! The band shows quite the work ethics and delivers their already 3rd album in their relatively short career, but do not make the mistake and expect any half assed, weak material on here. Working hard on carefully evolving their overall sound and especially the individual tracks, they have managed to streamline the material to 10 even more concise and catchy speed metal hymns.

DVP 185 Nocturnal – Serpent Death LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the long-awaited fourth album of Germany's NOCTURNAL, Serpent Death, on CD, vinyl LP and music cassette formats.
A veritable institution, NOCTURNAL have been flying the flag of hate and inciting a riot of violence since the year 2000. Helmed by founding guitarist Avenger (whose other credits are far too vast to list here), NOCTURNAL set about their prolific course with a flurry of demo tapes and splits with the likes of Nunslaughter, Vomitor, Bestial Mockery, and Toxic Holocaust among others, all culminating in their momentous Arrival of the Carnivore debut album in 2005. Back then, hailing the old Teutonic gods of thrash – namely the "Big Three" of Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction, but not withstanding Deathrow, Assassin, Exumer, Darkness, Violent Force, and Necronomicon as well as Razor and early Sepultura abroad – was rather unfashionable, but it was NOCTURNAL who had the last laugh, as the second worldwide thrash resurgence was about to begin, and there they stood, undaunted and defiant.
Thereafter, NOCTURNAL continued to honor the old underground ways with another flurry splits and vinyl EPs, before second LP Violent Revenge arrived in 2009. Thus far, NOCTURNAL's albums were more finely honed and better-produced expressions of those prolific UG releases, and they kept apace with that schematic through the release of their third LP, Storming Evil, in 2014. By then, lineup troubles had begun to plague the band and slow their momentum, and thereafter was all quiet on the Western front. But at long last, the ultimate revenge arrives with Serpent Death!
As aptly titled as any NOCTURNAL full-length so far, Serpent Death slithers and strikes with a venomous menace. Arguably the band's best-produced as well as best-played record to date, Serpent Death loses not an ounce of power and poignancy; if anything, NOCTURNAL sound more energetic than ever, revitalized and ripping and defying their seemingly advanced age. Whereas the preceding Storming Evil perhaps leaned too much on the cleaner side of things, Serpent Death is robustly analog, flexing both muscle and clarity, all while remaining steadfastly analog. Further, there's more (but subtle) twists in the songwriting and dynamics, evincing an ageless metal wisdom whilst not sacrificing any urgency in the process. Avenger, as always, is an absolute riff-machine, firing off memorable lines right and left, but he's more-than-ably backed up by a blood-red-vital rhythm section in bassist Incinerator and drummer John Berry. New vocalist Invoker has a rougher and more hollering voice, perfectly suited for these classic metal-inclined tunes. So, less "sharp" pure thrash and more "warmer" traditional metal: it's a trade-off that pays in spades on Serpent Death.
Timeless, eternal, both behind the times and ahead of 'em – there's few bands with a body of work quite like NOCTURNAL. Even if it's another five-plus years between albums, Serpent Death handily satisfies with a sound that's so old, it's new!

DVP 188 Hellcrash – Krvcifix Invertör LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HELLCRASH's striking debut album, Krvcifix Invertör, on vinyl LP format.
A power-trio hailing from Italy, HELLCRASH have been brewing their sick & sleazy delights in the underground for nearly a decade now. A couple demos and a split saw the dark of day during the years 2013-2015, but then silence ensued until the next strike was ready to reveal its expurse of sodomy. At long last, it arrives bearing the title Krvcifix Invertör.
HELLCRASH's long-awaited debut full-length, Krvcifix Invertör succinctly summarizes the HELLCRASH experience and then some. Crude and rude, the trio's fixations still remain firmly entrenched in very early Slayer and Venom, but deliriously dark new sensations spring forth here, giving HELLCRASH a foreign-yet-familiar aspect that works immeasurably in their favor. Heads bang, fists pound, pelvises throb, and the dirt of the earth gets bulldozed back and forth by their extremely simple yet extremely finessed compositions. Verily, Krvcifix Invertör is the metal of old: thrash when it was called "power metal," speed metal before thrash took over, metalpunk before that was even thought of or at least before domestic icons Bulldozer took a turn toward cleanliness, or just HEAVY METAL when that was everything that was loud and proud but not glitz and glam. Naturally, "evil" is everywhere, and so is EVIL, so wide-ranging is HELLCRASH's landscape between filth and fun. Whatever you want to call it, Krvcifix Invertör is timeless and untrendy and TRUE!

DVP 193 Stress Angel – Bursting Church CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with STYGIAN BLACK HAND, is proud to present STRESS ANGEL's striking debut album, Bursting Church. DYING VICTIMS will handle the CD version while STYGIAN BLACK HAND will handle the vinyl LP version.
Out from the flaming kingdom of death arose STRESS ANGEL in 2020 with their eponymous debut demo. There, the NYC two-piece presented six songs of thrashing death metal that is classic without being retro, and uniquely dark and demented. An auspicious first start, no doubt, and almost effortlessly so.
Now, STRESS ANGEL strike with their full-length debut, Bursting Church. Ever aptly titled, Bursting Church is indeed an archaic monument literally bursting – with feral energy, unholy passion, and RIFFS! In one sense, STRESS ANGEL here up-ratchet all of the previous demo's foremost characteristics – contorted riffery, pitiless battery, shrill screams, and frantic execution – and retain their still-new yet firmly-etched identity. But in another, perhaps-more-accurate sense, Bursting Church presents the duo in an altogether new light, where the classic metal elements underlining that identity are recast in more crazed and idiosyncratic colors: what's old is new, and vice versa, and anything resembling the "familiar" is ripped asunder into the realm of foreign. It's a record equally 2021 and 1987, if you will, and the finesse and charisma with which STRESS ANGEL charge through these 11 anti-anthems is utterly addicting. Whereas previous points of reference ranged Aura Noir to Autopsy, Sweden's Damnation to Sweden's Obscurity, Bursting Church reveals the band in rarefied, righteously rabid company, off on their own like nomads of the wasteland. No surrender, and no compromise!

DVP 191 Blitz – The Nachtmahr Sessions MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the awesome The Nachtmahr Sessions debut Demo by BLITZ on music cassette format.
Rising from the ashes of recently defunct MIDNIGHT PREY and AGGREGATOR, this new Hamburg-based four-piece BLITZ has combined their different influences and forged their very own blend of Heavy Metal, Speed and Thrash Metal. Big melodies, high velocity, varied vocals and tastefully applied gang shouts merge into strong and concise material.
Despite this being their first sign of life, the band entered renowned Soundlodge Studio and laid down the three powerful tracks on The Nachtmahr Sessions that show that there is a lot to be expected from BLITZ!

DVP 192 Knife – Knife LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated self-titled debut album of Germany's KNIFE on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2019, Germany's KNIFE have been one of the hottest insider tips in the metalpunk underground. The quartet's aim from the beginning has been to play fast and wild METAL, and they did exactly that with their two-song debut tape, Black Leather Hounds, in early 2020. Not long after, KNIFE released the four-song Locked In EP. Even more aptly titled than their first recording, Locked In saw the band bring all their influences together – from classic hard rock and heavy metal to first-wave black metal and punk, and more – into a throttling and nasty sound.
Now, forged in the hot winds, tempered by the shrieking sounds of Hades, a blade made of immortal steel rises from the depths to vindicate the souls of those who obey the true sound of METAL: KNIFE's debut full-length, simply self-titled Knife. At once comfortingly familiar but exuding a charisma and star power which elevates it into the halls of greatness, Knife goes from the throat right from the opener "Behold the Horse of War" and doesn't let go even after the last seconds of closer "Possessed" ring out. Neither strictly straightforward heavy metal nor retro-minded metalpunk, spanning both speed metal surge and fist-banging hard rock alike, KNIFE keep it lawless and loose across their debut album, cumulatively conveying their past, present, and definitely future. You like Exciter, W.A.S.P., Thin Lizzy, Bathory, Manowar, Discharge, and Kreator? Then KNIFE have all the blades you need, and they've sharpened them into 11 life-invigorating anthems (plus interlude) that are all wrapped in a gleaming 'n' powerful production.
Ferocity, power, and speed. Metal like a hammer blow! KNIFE is unleashed!

DVP 194 Hexenbrett- Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi MLP/MCD/MC
DYING VICTIMS is proud to present a special new EP from TTERBNEXEH, Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi, on CD, music cassette and 12" vinyl formats.
It was but May of the cursed year of 2020 when TTERBNEXEH truly came into their own with their shockingly masterful debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten, courtesy of DYING VICTIMS. While the enigmatic duo of Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolétte had definitely turned heads with Erste Beschwörung EP in 2019, their debut album's idiosyncratic kaleidoscope of Varathron, Jean Rollin, Danzig, Goblin, and Van Halen emerged as completely unique and unlike little else around.
Predictably unpredictable, TTERBNEXEH return with a crazed 'n' crazy EP that's the result of canceled concerts and tours: the four-song Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi. As suggested by its titled, the record is no "Beschwörung" but, rather, an intermezzo. Because, for the first time in the brief history of TTERBNEXEH, this EP does not feature performances by Josto Feratu or Scarlettina Bolétte. Instead, the tracks were recorded by what had been the live line-up for 2020, but of course under the watchful eyes and ears of the clandestine couple.
Suitably, Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi strays some from the TTERBNEXEH sound so far revealed whilst etching the band's twisted identity even further. With all songs and lyrics written by the duo of Feratu and Bollétte – except for a reverential cover of the early Misfits track "Return of the Fly" – the band's original material here displays new facets in TTERBNEXEH sound: heavier, weirder, more atmospheric and more aggressive. It's basically more of everything and the most accurate presentation of The Sound Of the Bloody Iris to date, and bloody fucking good no matter how you cut! While TTERBNEXEH previous full-length record featured unexplainable additional sounds in the background of the tracks, the material on Intermezzo... had to be re-recorded many times as things got lost continuously.
It seems as if Feratu and Bolétte are still haunted from their past... But hark! Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi is no taster/teaser of the second TTERBNEXEH full-length. Those mysteries are only known to the duo.

DVP 195 SexMag – Sex Metal MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SEXMAG's striking debut mini-album, Sex Metal, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
From the abyss of the filthy Silesian Streets emerges the Nasty Beast, just like in St. John's Apocalypse. Three sixes branded at the top of his head, and the prophecy predicts eternal tribulation and condemnation to those who betrayed and wear shackles. Seven chaplets and 11 horns encrust his neck, and his hand holds the key to the world unblemished by the lie. The sign of Hell worships the beast in black and his servant...SEXMAG!
Drawing their moniker from Poland's legendary Kat, SEXMAG arrive from the darkest past with a seven-track expurse of sodomy bearing the call-to-arms title of Sex Metal. Across the five primary curses and bookending intro and outro, the mysterious entity create a caustic and careening sound drawing equal strength from '80s proto-black metal and the vilest thrash. Names invoked include earliest Destruction, Sepultura, Venom, Tormentor, Sarcófago, Master's Hammer, and Violent Force, but with a fear-for-their-safety identity all their own. Or, put another way, think of the most garaged old New Renaissance release left rotting in the sun and covered in black-candle wax...that is Sex Metal!
No more and no less, no trends and no compromise, posers leave the hall when SEXMAG fuck you with their Sex Metal!

DVP 186 Karloff – The Appearing LP/CD/MC/T-Shirt
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KARLOFF's highly anticipated debut album, The Appearing, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Germany, KARLOFF formed in 2018 as a means for erstwhile Graveyard Ghoul member Tom Horrified to blow off some punk-oriented steam with a couple close comrades. Describing their sound as "raw obscure punk turns into blackness," it didn't take long for the band to record their first recording, Demo '18, but it was the following Raw Nights mini-album a year later where KARLOFF kicked into high gear. Released to widespread acclaim by DYING VICTIMS with the preceding demo tracks tacked on, Raw Nights strutted with sleazy confidence and an infectious sense of bash/crash/slash that struck deep into the heart of what makes the best of both punk and metal. But, the best was still come from KARLOFF...
At last, it arrives with their long-awaited debut album, The Appearing. If KARLOFF's previous two short-lengths presented them as a more gutter-level Midnight, then The Appearing recasts the band in a totally new, altogether more unique light – and one that's still brimming with that ever-special twist of olde-worlde evil. Rich and robust and ripplingly muscular, The Appearing struts like a cheetah with a heart full of napalm and flexes like nobody's business. In fact, the lead-heavy stomp here harkens to ancient-days metalpunk like Carnivore, Best Wishes-era Cro-Mags, or even early Nasty Savage; equally, one could also point to the more modern likes of Iron Age, Shitfucker, and The Rival Mob. However, the creepiness KARLOFF hinted at earlier reaches a fever pitch across the tastefully-applied chorus FX, a subtle nod to post-punk that ably broadens the band's reach without sacrificing their vision. More than all that, it's the songwriting of The Appearing which renders it an intensely re-playable record: exciting, invigorating, and skillfully finding that balance between the seemingly epic and the swiftly concise.
Ghouls and ghosts, thugs and thieves: KARLOFF are calling upon you to witness The Appearing!

DVP 187 Fate's Hand – Fate's Hand MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking self-titled debut EP by FATE'S HAND on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
With the roar of parting waves and the call of a thousand ravens, Australian heavy metal thunders into new being, bearing the ever-ominous moniker FATE'S HAND. Reverberating opuses, wrought straight from tales lost in time but ever-present in the blood of fellow men, across the band's self-titled debut EP does visceral melody grasp tightly on the spear of classic heavy metal, hearkening to the genre's progenitors and in the same breath taunting, daring the very same gods. In a word, Fate's Hand is both old and new, surprising and unsurpassed.
Perhaps not surprising is the fact that FATE'S HAND comprises various members from Australia's esteemed extreme metal scene, such heavyweights as Mongrel's Cross, Impetuous Ritual, and Stargazer. While the same peerless standards of quality run rampant across the band's debut statement, this formation are their own masters, and empowered as such, FATE'S HAND deftly draw from the primordial well of Northern lore and attack in a savage foray of traditionalist heavy metal. And this is but the mere start of battles to be waged...
Expect less and your life is forfeit. FATE'S HAND draw first sword!

DVP-R 005 Breathless – Breathless LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the newly founded sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, is proud to present a reissue of the killer self-titled debut album from Belgium's BREATHLESS on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Genk, Belgium's BREATHLESS was founded in 1983 by Antonio and Dirk. Antonio already had experience as a drummer in the punk rock bands The Visions and Transylvania, and Dirk had previously played in Hammerhead. Antonio knew Stanis, brother of the guitarist and singer of The Visions, and asked him to join the band as bass player. Because many metal bands had two guitar players at the time, it was decided to look for an additional guitarist. Dirk was friends with Laky, but Laky had never held a guitar before... Friendship being one of the key values of the band, Dirk suggested to teach Laky how to play the guitar, and so he joined the band. Finally, Pascal (who was only 14 years old at that time) was brought in as singer.
The driving force of BREATHELESS was to impress, push the boundaries, deliver high-level tempo changes, and dark and angry vocals – both high and low, which was quite remarkable in the Belgian metal scene of that time. Supporting gigs of international acts followed: BREATHLESS joined Warlock, Helloween, Tyson Dog, and Axe Victims onstage.
BREATHLESS' debut album was recorded in 10 days. Local record store Gigaswing wanted to release the album, and so the long-player Breathless was born. The LP was well received everywhere, good reviews appeared in the metal magazines, gigs followed, the fanbase expanded...and then came the decline, when the lineup quickly crumbled away...
However, what was captured on BREATHLESS' sadly only album was pure metal magic: unhinged, unselfconscious, and unlike most of their Belgian contemporaries. Neither strictly traditional metal nor speed metal nor hard rock nor latent NWOBHM, Breathless was a blender of all the tastes of the time, and its indeed-breathless rush was sublime in its sheer energy and electricity. Take the needle of your turntable and drop it anywhere across the album and you'll be met with raw finesse and total abandon and even exceptionally placed moments of epic quietude – simply, all-out freedom in the spirit of the mid '80s before metallic boundaries were firmly drawn out and laid down. Put another way, one look at the cover of Breathless and BREATHLESS' attendant logo and you just KNOW what you're in for!
Ridiculously rare in its original vinyl guise and never officially released on CD, BREATHLESS' legendary lone document now arrives bearing the full RELICS FROM THE CRYPT treatment. Don your best striped spandex, raise your beers, and get Breathless!

DVP 191 Blitz – The Nachtmahr Sessions MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the awesome The Nachtmahr Sessions debut Demo by BLITZ on music cassette format.
Rising from the ashes of recently defunct MIDNIGHT PREY and AGGREGATOR, this new Hamburg-based four-piece BLITZ has combined their different influences and forged their very own blend of Heavy Metal, Speed and Thrash Metal. Big melodies, high velocity, varied vocals and tastefully applied gang shouts merge into strong and concise material.
Despite this being their first sign of life, the band entered renowned Soundlodge Studio and laid down the three powerful tracks on The Nachtmahr Sessions that show that there is a lot to be expected from BLITZ!

DVP 193 Stress Angel – Bursting Church CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with STYGIAN BLACK HAND, is proud to present STRESS ANGEL's striking debut album, Bursting Church. DYING VICTIMS will handle the CD version while STYGIAN BLACK HAND will handle the vinyl LP version.
Out from the flaming kingdom of death arose STRESS ANGEL in 2020 with their eponymous debut demo. There, the NYC two-piece presented six songs of thrashing death metal that is classic without being retro, and uniquely dark and demented. An auspicious first start, no doubt, and almost effortlessly so.
Now, STRESS ANGEL strike with their full-length debut, Bursting Church. Ever aptly titled, Bursting Church is indeed an archaic monument literally bursting – with feral energy, unholy passion, and RIFFS! In one sense, STRESS ANGEL here up-ratchet all of the previous demo's foremost characteristics – contorted riffery, pitiless battery, shrill screams, and frantic execution – and retain their still-new yet firmly-etched identity. But in another, perhaps-more-accurate sense, Bursting Church presents the duo in an altogether new light, where the classic metal elements underlining that identity are recast in more crazed and idiosyncratic colors: what's old is new, and vice versa, and anything resembling the "familiar" is ripped asunder into the realm of foreign. It's a record equally 2021 and 1987, if you will, and the finesse and charisma with which STRESS ANGEL charge through these 11 anti-anthems is utterly addicting. Whereas previous points of reference ranged Aura Noir to Autopsy, Sweden's Damnation to Sweden's Obscurity, Bursting Church reveals the band in rarefied, righteously rabid company, off on their own like nomads of the wasteland. No surrender, and no compromise!

DVP 196 Cherokee – Blood & Gold DLP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Germany's CHEROKEE, Blood and Gold, on CD and double-LP vinyl formats.
Hailing from Cologne, CHEROKEE was founded in 2014. Several lineup changes occurred until the first lineup was complete – guitarists Simon Siantidis and Alexander Beda Maria Kleusch, bassist Fabian Albert Dey, drummer Fabian Kampa, and vocalist Katharina Heldt – which recorded two demos, Ridin' Free (2015) and Mother Nature's Child (2016). Following the second demo, Heldt departed the band.
In 2017, vocalist Laura Vesprini joins CHEROKEE, and together the EP Wakan Tanka NIci Un Ep was recorded at Sculpt Sound Studio by Laurent Teubl (Chapel of Disease) and released in 2018. Many gigs followed, the band truly finding their latent power onstage, and in 2019 did a successful mini-tour commence with Canadian compatriots Freeways. But, that power was only simmering...
Indeed, it explodes across CHEROKEE's literally massive debut album, Blood and Gold. Comprising 15 songs in 75 action-packed minutes – truly, a double-album like the old days – Blood and Gold is the culmination of over a year's work of writing, recording, mixing, and mastering. More importantly, this recorded document is the grandest statement of the CHEROKEE aesthetic: moody, dynamic, and storytelling HARD ROCK chiseled from the stone of the '70s. Each song here is its own experience, its own heartstrings-pulling sensation and fist-shaking anthem. Although a handful of 'em are re-recorded/finessed versions of earlier songs, it's a foregone conclusion that these are the definitive issue: CHEROKEE wanted something special for their debut album and simply could not decide which songs to cut, and thus did thus they settle for a 15-song double-album. For them, it is honest, handmade guitar-driven music, a perfect mix of hard rock and blues, fun and power. The soundtrack for any situation in life, be it on your way to work, the soundtrack to an antisocial drinking night, road trips to festivals in the middle of nowhere – to cure post festival depression, or to spice up your next visit to grandma's house – Blood and Gold is the sonic travelogue to get you there and get you feeling GOOD.
If you feel good to the immortal Thin Lizzy, Rainbow, Wishbone Ash, UFO, and Dire Straits or modern antecedents like the aforementioned Freeways, SANDSTORM, Haunt, MIDNIGHT PREY, and Savage Master, then CHEROKEE are guaranteed to be your new favorite band – and Blood and Gold your new favorite record(s)!

DVP 197 Destructo – Demonic Possession LP/CD/Shirts
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DESTRUCTO's striking debut album, Demonic Possession, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
The sound, attitude, and execution of DESTRUCTO is similar to the band's moniker: destructive, merciless and total fukk-off-driven! Formed in 2018 as a side-project between erstwhile Dödsrit and Nuclear Devastation bandmates Soulcrusher and Motörphallus as a tribute to bands like Sarcofago, Syphilitic Vaginas, and Japan's Sabbat, DESTRUCTO delivered their debut demo in 2019 – 19 minutes of total & utter destruction!
In the meantime, insanity, blasphemy, narcotics, and intoxication all played their part in inspiring DESTRUCTO's debut album, Demonic Possession. Here, the power-trio amplify those noble influences to a fever pitch while also bringing forward influences from Bathory, Hellhammer, and especially G.I.S.M. With ten songs spanning a skull-crushing 40 minutes, Demonic Possession is a wild fucking ride, even for those prepared to get on in the first place. Cacophonic screams, primitive riffs, bulldozing bass, and berserking D-beats all collide with vocals which approximate a gnarling demon on strict diet of whiskey and amphetamines, making the album best to be enjoyed with...whiskey and amphetamines! Put another way, DESTRUCTO make an even stronger case for being the bastard child of raw and chaotic first-wave black metal blended with an unhealthy dose of '80s speed/thrash metal mania, Motörcharged riffs & rock 'n' roll grooves that creates the Devil's Rock 'n' Roll!
Armed with production that's slicing and slimy in equal measure and an overwhelming sense of danger both in songwriting and especially execution, the question remains: can you handle DESTRUCTO's Demonic Possession? ARGHHH!!

DVP 198 Galaxy – On the Shore of Life LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present GALAXY's highly anticipated debut album, On the Shore of Life, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
GALAXY are a heavy metal band from Melbourne, Australia. Lost From the Start, their debut EP released in late 2019 by DYING VICTIMS, was a nod to the speed and traditional heavy metal of the 1980s, replete with the furious riffs and high-octane vocals one would demand from the genre. GALAXY are now set to release their follow-up, and first full-length album, On the Shore of Life. This time around, the band has spared no effort to make the music more dynamic and adventurous: the songs exhibit a greater sense of scope and take the listener to darker and colder climes.
Songwriter Stu Callinan (who handles all guitars and bass) and vocalist / lyricist Phillip T. King are joined on the recording by legendary session drummer and special guest Simon Phillips, who over the years has stinted with the likes of Judas Priest, the Michael Schenker Group, The Who, and Jeff Beck. His special guest-performance has created a most powerful foundation for the music to layer upon, lifting GALAXY's new material to heights previously undreamt. And that new material melds Mercyful Fate and Megadeth-style riffing with the melody and song-based focus of Thin Lizzy and '70s Judas Priest and the adventurousness of early Fates Warning: On the Shore of Life, indeed!
In a post-covid world where the future of live music remains unpredictable, GALAXY will be back onstage as soon as possible. In the meantime, the spirited performances on this new record do well to propagate GALAXY's tales of joy and madness, of love and loss, of fear and courage... Join GALAXY at the next port of their journey, On the Shore of Life!

DVP 185 Nocturnal – Serpent Death LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the long-awaited fourth album of Germany's NOCTURNAL, Serpent Death, on CD, vinyl LP and music cassette formats.
A veritable institution, NOCTURNAL have been flying the flag of hate and inciting a riot of violence since the year 2000. Helmed by founding guitarist Avenger (whose other credits are far too vast to list here), NOCTURNAL set about their prolific course with a flurry of demo tapes and splits with the likes of Nunslaughter, Vomitor, Bestial Mockery, and Toxic Holocaust among others, all culminating in their momentous Arrival of the Carnivore debut album in 2005. Back then, hailing the old Teutonic gods of thrash – namely the "Big Three" of Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction, but not withstanding Deathrow, Assassin, Exumer, Darkness, Violent Force, and Necronomicon as well as Razor and early Sepultura abroad – was rather unfashionable, but it was NOCTURNAL who had the last laugh, as the second worldwide thrash resurgence was about to begin, and there they stood, undaunted and defiant.
Thereafter, NOCTURNAL continued to honor the old underground ways with another flurry splits and vinyl EPs, before second LP Violent Revenge arrived in 2009. Thus far, NOCTURNAL's albums were more finely honed and better-produced expressions of those prolific UG releases, and they kept apace with that schematic through the release of their third LP, Storming Evil, in 2014. By then, lineup troubles had begun to plague the band and slow their momentum, and thereafter was all quiet on the Western front. But at long last, the ultimate revenge arrives with Serpent Death!
As aptly titled as any NOCTURNAL full-length so far, Serpent Death slithers and strikes with a venomous menace. Arguably the band's best-produced as well as best-played record to date, Serpent Death loses not an ounce of power and poignancy; if anything, NOCTURNAL sound more energetic than ever, revitalized and ripping and defying their seemingly advanced age. Whereas the preceding Storming Evil perhaps leaned too much on the cleaner side of things, Serpent Death is robustly analog, flexing both muscle and clarity, all while remaining steadfastly analog. Further, there's more (but subtle) twists in the songwriting and dynamics, evincing an ageless metal wisdom whilst not sacrificing any urgency in the process. Avenger, as always, is an absolute riff-machine, firing off memorable lines right and left, but he's more-than-ably backed up by a blood-red-vital rhythm section in bassist Incinerator and drummer John Berry. New vocalist Invoker has a rougher and more hollering voice, perfectly suited for these classic metal-inclined tunes. So, less "sharp" pure thrash and more "warmer" traditional metal: it's a trade-off that pays in spades on Serpent Death.
Timeless, eternal, both behind the times and ahead of 'em – there's few bands with a body of work quite like NOCTURNAL. Even if it's another five-plus years between albums, Serpent Death handily satisfies with a sound that's so old, it's new!

DVP 188 Hellcrash – Krvcifix Invertör LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HELLCRASH's striking debut album, Krvcifix Invertör, on vinyl LP format.
A power-trio hailing from Italy, HELLCRASH have been brewing their sick & sleazy delights in the underground for nearly a decade now. A couple demos and a split saw the dark of day during the years 2013-2015, but then silence ensued until the next strike was ready to reveal its expurse of sodomy. At long last, it arrives bearing the title Krvcifix Invertör.
HELLCRASH's long-awaited debut full-length, Krvcifix Invertör succinctly summarizes the HELLCRASH experience and then some. Crude and rude, the trio's fixations still remain firmly entrenched in very early Slayer and Venom, but deliriously dark new sensations spring forth here, giving HELLCRASH a foreign-yet-familiar aspect that works immeasurably in their favor. Heads bang, fists pound, pelvises throb, and the dirt of the earth gets bulldozed back and forth by their extremely simple yet extremely finessed compositions. Verily, Krvcifix Invertör is the metal of old: thrash when it was called "power metal," speed metal before thrash took over, metalpunk before that was even thought of or at least before domestic icons Bulldozer took a turn toward cleanliness, or just HEAVY METAL when that was everything that was loud and proud but not glitz and glam. Naturally, "evil" is everywhere, and so is EVIL, so wide-ranging is HELLCRASH's landscape between filth and fun. Whatever you want to call it, Krvcifix Invertör is timeless and untrendy and TRUE!

DVP 186 Karloff – The Appearing LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KARLOFF's highly anticipated debut album, The Appearing, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Germany, KARLOFF formed in 2018 as a means for erstwhile Graveyard Ghoul member Tom Horrified to blow off some punk-oriented steam with a couple close comrades. Describing their sound as "raw obscure punk turns into blackness," it didn't take long for the band to record their first recording, Demo '18, but it was the following Raw Nights mini-album a year later where KARLOFF kicked into high gear. Released to widespread acclaim by DYING VICTIMS with the preceding demo tracks tacked on, Raw Nights strutted with sleazy confidence and an infectious sense of bash/crash/slash that struck deep into the heart of what makes the best of both punk and metal. But, the best was still come from KARLOFF...
At last, it arrives with their long-awaited debut album, The Appearing. If KARLOFF's previous two short-lengths presented them as a more gutter-level Midnight, then The Appearing recasts the band in a totally new, altogether more unique light – and one that's still brimming with that ever-special twist of olde-worlde evil. Rich and robust and ripplingly muscular, The Appearing struts like a cheetah with a heart full of napalm and flexes like nobody's business. In fact, the lead-heavy stomp here harkens to ancient-days metalpunk like Carnivore, Best Wishes-era Cro-Mags, or even early Nasty Savage; equally, one could also point to the more modern likes of Iron Age, Shitfucker, and The Rival Mob. However, the creepiness KARLOFF hinted at earlier reaches a fever pitch across the tastefully-applied chorus FX, a subtle nod to post-punk that ably broadens the band's reach without sacrificing their vision. More than all that, it's the songwriting of The Appearing which renders it an intensely re-playable record: exciting, invigorating, and skillfully finding that balance between the seemingly epic and the swiftly concise.
Ghouls and ghosts, thugs and thieves: KARLOFF are calling upon you to witness The Appearing! >

DVP 187 Fate's Hand – Fate's Hand MLP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking self-titled debut EP by FATE'S HAND on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
With the roar of parting waves and the call of a thousand ravens, Australian heavy metal thunders into new being, bearing the ever-ominous moniker FATE'S HAND. Reverberating opuses, wrought straight from tales lost in time but ever-present in the blood of fellow men, across the band's self-titled debut EP does visceral melody grasp tightly on the spear of classic heavy metal, hearkening to the genre's progenitors and in the same breath taunting, daring the very same gods. In a word, Fate's Hand is both old and new, surprising and unsurpassed.
Perhaps not surprising is the fact that FATE'S HAND comprises various members from Australia's esteemed extreme metal scene, such heavyweights as Mongrel's Cross, Impetuous Ritual, and Stargazer. While the same peerless standards of quality run rampant across the band's debut statement, this formation are their own masters, and empowered as such, FATE'S HAND deftly draw from the primordial well of Northern lore and attack in a savage foray of traditionalist heavy metal. And this is but the mere start of battles to be waged...
Expect less and your life is forfeit. FATE'S HAND draw first sword!

DVP-R 006 Sacrifice – Total Steel LP
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a vinyl LP reissue of the cult second album of Japan’s SACRIFICE, Total Steel. Licensed from Carnal Beast.
From their humble beginnings in 1985 on to their super-cult debut album, 1987’s Crest of Black, Japan’s SACRIFICE have stood for uncompromising, world-eating, thrashy METAL. Let’s reiterate: thrashy heavy metal rather than pure thrash metal. Thick and viscous is their thrust, with straightforward songwriting and exceptionally mean delivery. However, it was with 1990’s Total Steel where they’d perfect that signature style.
Much like Japanese punk takes bog-standard tropes and upends them in unique ways, so, too, did SACRIFICE do such with crossover on Total Steel. Aptly titled in its dedication to rivetheaded ignorance-is-bliss, Total Steel is a nine-song/46-monster which mainlines then-contemporaneous Cro-Mags, Venom, Razor, Carnivore, the UK’s Sacrilege, Nasty Savage, The Exploited, and even early Celtic Frost into something that sounds like all those simultaneously and nothing like ‘em at all. Credit is due to the band’s bullheaded approach to riffing: hammer/hammer/hammer, hypnotically so, stripping everything down to its barbaric basics and then build ‘em up to towering heights. Literally, you DROWN in their crush here, as nearly every vocal-led track tops five minutes, allowing for maximal immersion. Likewise, SACRIFICE’s execution is creepy and sleazy in equal measure, spitting forth attitude even when the linguistic translations go astray. But, the closing couplet of “Don’t Wanna Be Back in Black Days” and “Cold Storm” perhaps perfectly underline their particular headspace.
Amazingly, Total Steel sounds as refreshing today as time-locked as it sounded in 1990. Fans of Power Trip and Iron Age on to maniacs for metalpunk and those who hunt for Combat Core, bow before SACRIFICE!

DVP-R 007 Mad Butcher – Metal Meat LP
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a LONG-overdue reissue of MAD BUTCHER’s cult-classic second album, Metal Meat, on vinyl LP format.
While it would seem that MAD BUTCHER were inspired by Germany’s legendary Destruction, the truth is rather the other way around: MAD BUTCHER predated Destruction by a number of years, and began even earlier than Teutonic metal mainstays Accept, Steeler, Grave Digger, and Living Death. As such, they were one of the first real metal bands in Germany to pick up sonic influence from the burgeoning NWOBHM movement and the early US metal scene. And what they delivered with their ragged ‘n’ righteous debut album, 1985’s Lightning Metal Attack, stands immortal to this day even though it’s largely remained a cult curio among diehard metal collectors. RELICS FROM THE CRYPT reissued it on vinyl in late 2020, and now grants MAD BUTCHER’s equally electric second album, Metal Meat, the same treatment.
Originally released on the long-dormant Metal Enterprises in 1987, Metal Meat is both an intensification of that rough-around-the-edges but addictingly spirited debut and a smoother, more-finessed version of it. It’s imperative to understand that that Lightning Metal Attack was rather “behind the times” when it was originally released in 1985, given that MAD BUTCHER’s subgenre-defiant sound spanned ALL heavy metal of the day, from NWOBHM to the early ‘80s US sound, before speed metal and then thrash splintered forth from that wider stylistic pool. That they then kinda cobbled it together into an adrenaline rush strikingly similar to speed metal is no mean feat. By comparison – and, crucially, retaining the same lineup as the debut – Metal Meat’s speed metal songs cruised with confidence and ease, in no small part to the improved production, which was still considered “raw” by mainstream standards. However, it’s those hooky, vaguely “mainstream” strutters here that make Metal Meat such a wild and enduring spin. There’s never gonna be a moment where one would ever mistake MAD BUTCHER for a hair-metal band, but a great deal of this album sidles most sinisterly next to that oft-maligned idiom, the band’s more pronounced hard-rock swagger suggesting the Sunset Strip rather than the industrial wasteland of their native Ruhr. Put another way, Metal Meat is far closer to the dark & heavy sleaze of early W.A.S.P. or even Exciter’s way-ugly Unveiling the Wicked than, say, Poison or Ratt. And of course, MAD BUTCHER’s innate German-ness rings loud and clear here, with vocalist/bassist Harry Elbracht delivering an effortlessly creepy performance.
And while MAD BUTCHER would disband in 1990, after two officially released albums and a third posthumously released in 2020, their legendry among the true-metal faithful was forever etched with Lightning Metal Attack – and further etched into the annals of CULT with its inadvertently strange follow-up. Now, for posterity, RELICS FROM THE CRYPT will deliver this Metal Meat right to your table, on the format it so deserves: vinyl!

DVP 199 The Night Eternal – Moonlit Cross MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present THE NIGHT ETERNAL’s highly anticipated debut album, Moonlit Cross on music cassette format.
It was but 2019 when THE NIGHT ETERNAL released their bolt-from-the-blue self-titled EP. For a first public recording, The Night Eternal was nothing short of masterful, revealing a depth and wisdom far beyond the band’s meager years. Across its three primary tracks and poignant cover of Judas Priest's “(Take These) Chains” did the German quintet concoct a supremely powerful and stirringly moody sort of heavy metal, both traditionally pure-steel in their dynamics yet also brimming with epicness and a sort of forlorn heroism. Not for nothing did it garner THE NIGHT ETERNAL a handsome amount of attention.
Now, with more eyes on them, THE NIGHT ETERNAL emerge from the shadows with their full-length debut, Moonlit Cross. Ever aptly titled, Moonlit Cross moves like a travelogue across the mysteries of the night – and of course, THE NIGHT ETERNAL’s namesake itself. Still night-prowling like that first EP, here on their first full-length salvo do the band reveal more (and more powerful, and moodier) shades of their epic sound, bridging both the epic end of traditional metal as well as the root variants which preceded it.
As the band explain, “In comparison to the self-titled EP, on Moonlit Cross we´ve included even more influence from various kinds of guitar-driven rock music, ranging from the ‘70s to the ‘80s, which shaped us as musicians. Combining it with our own sinister style of heavy metal allowed us to exactly create the music we’d been missing in today’s scene. We invite you on a journey to the lowest depths of our hearts.”
Indeed, the swagger THE NIGHT ETERNAL exhibit here owes more to early hard rock, invoking such names as Thin Lizzy, Rainbow, Scorpions as well as heavier sounds reminiscent of Mercyful Fate and Black Sabbath´s Dio-era. Yet, familiar as these touchstones may sound, the darkness they so dramatically drape across their compositions puts Moonlit Cross on another realm altogether – and one, it must be said, that evades easy categorization, be it stylistically or chronologically. Simply, THE NIGHT ETERNAL are putting their proverbial hearts on their sleeves, and the music they create is an honest, authentic, and goosebump-inducing reflection of the incredibly vital blood pumping in those hearts.
Massive hooks, sweeping dynamics, high drama, and of course, the commanding vocals of frontman Ricardo, all wrapped in a rich ‘n’ robust production by Ralf Praekelt, with mastering by Chris Common at Twin Hills Recording – THE NIGHT ETERNAL have truly arrived with Moonlit Cross.

DVP 200 Insight – Chapter I: Before the Trial MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present INSIGHT’s new ep, Chapter I: Before the Trial on music cassette format.
The Chilean Peñaflor/Santiago scene strikes again, this time with the eerie heavy metal act INSIGHT. This entity consists of (ex) members of acts such as Ripper, Hemisferio, Hellish or Armoured Knight (among many more). After some line up changes and switching from their Spanish mother tongue on their demo and debut ep to English on this new ep, the band has finally found their sound. Which is an unusual take on heavy metal, drawing inspirations from various old school metal styles and combining them into one complex, yet accessible unit. Above all throne the captivating vocals of Dante Dubo.
Chapter I: Before the Trial is the first in a series of three eps which tell the story of a higher being named Azael which studies the nature of humanity. Enter the universe of Azael and dive into Chapter I: Before the Trial!

DVP 192 Knife – Knife LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated self-titled debut album of Germany's KNIFE on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2019, Germany's KNIFE have been one of the hottest insider tips in the metalpunk underground. The quartet's aim from the beginning has been to play fast and wild METAL, and they did exactly that with their two-song debut tape, Black Leather Hounds, in early 2020. Not long after, KNIFE released the four-song Locked In EP. Even more aptly titled than their first recording, Locked In saw the band bring all their influences together – from classic hard rock and heavy metal to first-wave black metal and punk, and more – into a throttling and nasty sound.
Now, forged in the hot winds, tempered by the shrieking sounds of Hades, a blade made of immortal steel rises from the depths to vindicate the souls of those who obey the true sound of METAL: KNIFE's debut full-length, simply self-titled Knife. At once comfortingly familiar but exuding a charisma and star power which elevates it into the halls of greatness, Knife goes from the throat right from the opener "Behold the Horse of War" and doesn't let go even after the last seconds of closer "Possessed" ring out. Neither strictly straightforward heavy metal nor retro-minded metalpunk, spanning both speed metal surge and fist-banging hard rock alike, KNIFE keep it lawless and loose across their debut album, cumulatively conveying their past, present, and definitely future. You like Exciter, W.A.S.P., Thin Lizzy, Bathory, Manowar, Discharge, and Kreator? Then KNIFE have all the blades you need, and they've sharpened them into 11 life-invigorating anthems (plus interlude) that are all wrapped in a gleaming 'n' powerful production.
Ferocity, power, and speed. Metal like a hammer blow! KNIFE is unleashed!

DVP 194 Hexenbrett- Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi MLP/MCD/MC
DYING VICTIMS is proud to present a special new EP from TTERBNEXEH, Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi, on CD, music cassette and 12" vinyl formats.
It was but May of the cursed year of 2020 when TTERBNEXEH truly came into their own with their shockingly masterful debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten, courtesy of DYING VICTIMS. While the enigmatic duo of Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolétte had definitely turned heads with Erste Beschwörung EP in 2019, their debut album's idiosyncratic kaleidoscope of Varathron, Jean Rollin, Danzig, Goblin, and Van Halen emerged as completely unique and unlike little else around.
Predictably unpredictable, TTERBNEXEH return with a crazed 'n' crazy EP that's the result of canceled concerts and tours: the four-song Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi. As suggested by its titled, the record is no "Beschwörung" but, rather, an intermezzo. Because, for the first time in the brief history of TTERBNEXEH, this EP does not feature performances by Josto Feratu or Scarlettina Bolétte. Instead, the tracks were recorded by what had been the live line-up for 2020, but of course under the watchful eyes and ears of the clandestine couple.
Suitably, Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi strays some from the TTERBNEXEH sound so far revealed whilst etching the band's twisted identity even further. With all songs and lyrics written by the duo of Feratu and Bollétte – except for a reverential cover of the early Misfits track "Return of the Fly" – the band's original material here displays new facets in TTERBNEXEH sound: heavier, weirder, more atmospheric and more aggressive. It's basically more of everything and the most accurate presentation of The Sound Of the Bloody Iris to date, and bloody fucking good no matter how you cut! While TTERBNEXEH previous full-length record featured unexplainable additional sounds in the background of the tracks, the material on Intermezzo... had to be re-recorded many times as things got lost continuously. It seems as if Feratu and Bolétte are still haunted from their past... But hark! Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi is no taster/teaser of the second TTERBNEXEH full-length. Those mysteries are only known to the duo.

DVP 195 SexMag – Sex Metal MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SEXMAG's striking debut mini-album, Sex Metal, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
From the abyss of the filthy Silesian Streets emerges the Nasty Beast, just like in St. John's Apocalypse. Three sixes branded at the top of his head, and the prophecy predicts eternal tribulation and condemnation to those who betrayed and wear shackles. Seven chaplets and 11 horns encrust his neck, and his hand holds the key to the world unblemished by the lie. The sign of Hell worships the beast in black and his servant...SEXMAG!
Drawing their moniker from Poland's legendary Kat, SEXMAG arrive from the darkest past with a seven-track expurse of sodomy bearing the call-to-arms title of Sex Metal. Across the five primary curses and bookending intro and outro, the mysterious entity create a caustic and careening sound drawing equal strength from '80s proto-black metal and the vilest thrash. Names invoked include earliest Destruction, Sepultura, Venom, Tormentor, Sarcófago, Master's Hammer, and Violent Force, but with a fear-for-their-safety identity all their own. Or, put another way, think of the most garaged old New Renaissance release left rotting in the sun and covered in black-candle wax...that is Sex Metal!
No more and no less, no trends and no compromise, posers leave the hall when SEXMAG fuck you with their Sex Metal!

DVP 202 Tension – Decay LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Germany's TENSION, Decay, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Hailing from Leipzig, Germany's TENSION was founded in 2015 by vocalist Maik H. and guitarist Phil. M. during a night of dozens of heavy metal records and unlimited amounts of beer. The band was then rounded out by ex-members of Toxic Beast and Germany's Prowler.
From the beginning, TENSION's influences were firm: the First Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal (or FWOSWHM), including the likes of Gotham City, Heavy Load, Jackwave, Parasite, Jonah Quizz, Depzon, and Stitch among others; the always-eternal NWOBHM, but particularly Satan, Traitors Gate, Wolf, Ritual, and Lime Light; heavy metal from the Eastern Bloc like Aria, Ossian, Formel I, Omen, and Pokolgép; and different kinds of punk music, but most prominently The Misfits and Discharge. In other words, the PERFECT type of band for DYING VICTIMS – and not surprisingly, TENSION released their self-titled debut EP through the label in 2017. Gigs followed with the esteemed likes of Manilla Road, Satan, Pagan Altar, Tokyo Blade, and Alien Force among others.
Now, nearly five years since the Tension short-length, TENSION unleash their debut album, Decay. Right from its very first seconds, Decay sparkles with an excitement that's absolutely addicting and endearingly timeless, running through a virtual jukebox of Old but brimming with the effervescence of Now. It's pure heavy metal, through and through, with juiced-up hard rock and moody punk subtly integrated, and the power is always in abundance but never overbearing; TENSION's cool & cruising momentum harkens to a lost era of feel over sheer speed. At the fore are nightsky-ascending lead guitars, whose narrative melodies straddle a fine line between metal classicism and something closer to dark hard rock. And Maik's clear 'n' emotive vocals bespeak bathos and pathos, bravado but tenderness, epic adventures as well as long nights at the bar.
The cassette and CD versions of Decay will include nine tracks, with the self-titled EP added to the latter as bonus tracks. The vinyl version of the album will include eight tracks due to length, with the extra track saved for a split EP to be released later in 2022. In the meantime, no better time to experience the "Higher Power" of TENSION's Decay!

DVP 203 Tangent – Tangent MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut mini-album of Australia's TANGENT, self-titled Tangent, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Three wild dogs! Four wild tracks!! Locked down, loaded up, and ready to explode on DYING VICTIMS: this is the self-titled first recording from Melbourne's TANGENT, heavy metal from the suburbs north of the river. Despite their newness of existence, their sound is most definitely OLD, which should come as no surprise given the power-trio's membership includes current and former members of Demons Gate, Outcast, Convent Guilt, and Shackles among others.
Simple but not simplistic, resilient to time and trends and rippling with feeling and energy at every turn, Tangent is a rough 'n' rowdy trawl through rundown bars and desolate backstreets, but with the world weighing heavy on the mind of the protagonist. As such, heroic hot-rockin' underpins TANGENT's thrust, giving each of these four anthems-in-the-making an astute balance between the pensive and the powerful. It's all fondly familiar, but hazily recast in a refreshing manner, like a lost Heavy Pettin' recording found in the Eastern Bloc during the '80s or if Saxon had shared a practice space with Omen in some alternate time/space fold. Or, simply, the first makings of something special and EPIC.
With mastering by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony giving it an exceptionally olde-worlde feel, theTangent mini album is ready to explode!

DVP 204 Vicious Knights – Alteration Through Possession LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VICIOUS KNIGHTS' striking debut album, Alteration Through Possession, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
VICIOUS KNIGHTS is an old-school death/thrash metal band, screaming from Thessaloniki, Greece. The band was formed in 2016 by Antonis "Harvester" (guitars/vocals) and Liakos (drums). Panos (bass guitar) entered the band a few months later. This three-piece of total maniacs self-released their first EP Malevolent Spirits on CD in 2018 and then reissued it in 2020 through the World War Now label. The band had many gigs in Greece presenting their first release and some of their newer material, making a great impact on the underground scene.
Now, armed with the support of DYING VICTIMS, VICIOUS KNIGHTS return to destroy the world with their first full-length, Alteration Through Possession! Curiously yet tellingly titled, Alteration Through Possession indeed transforms the listener...once that listener is ensnared in the power-trio's iron grip! Like a trip back to 1987, VICIOUS KNIGHTS live up to their moniker by invoking the old spirits of early Kreator, Destruction, Possessed, and Sepultura, combining more devotedly horror-specific lyrics with absolutely ass-ripping DEATHRASH. They go beyond the gates to inflict eternal pain, their infernal overkill bestowing morbid visions upon those who still believe in razor-wire riffing, snarling-evil vokills, and straightforward drum-propulsion – and of course, actual songwriting. Simple, sure, but sublime: Alteration Through Possession is a pleasure to kill!

DVP 196 Cherokee – Blood & Gold DLP/CD/MC/Shirt
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Germany's CHEROKEE, Blood and Gold, on CD and double-LP vinyl formats.
Hailing from Cologne, CHEROKEE was founded in 2014. Several lineup changes occurred until the first lineup was complete – guitarists Simon Siantidis and Alexander Beda Maria Kleusch, bassist Fabian Albert Dey, drummer Fabian Kampa, and vocalist Katharina Heldt – which recorded two demos, Ridin' Free (2015) and Mother Nature's Child (2016). Following the second demo, Heldt departed the band.
In 2017, vocalist Laura Vesprini joins CHEROKEE, and together the EP Wakan Tanka NIci Un Ep was recorded at Sculpt Sound Studio by Laurent Teubl (Chapel of Disease) and released in 2018. Many gigs followed, the band truly finding their latent power onstage, and in 2019 did a successful mini-tour commence with Canadian compatriots Freeways. But, that power was only simmering...
Indeed, it explodes across CHEROKEE's literally massive debut album, Blood and Gold. Comprising 15 songs in 75 action-packed minutes – truly, a double-album like the old days – Blood and Gold is the culmination of over a year's work of writing, recording, mixing, and mastering. More importantly, this recorded document is the grandest statement of the CHEROKEE aesthetic: moody, dynamic, and storytelling HARD ROCK chiseled from the stone of the '70s. Each song here is its own experience, its own heartstrings-pulling sensation and fist-shaking anthem. Although a handful of 'em are re-recorded/finessed versions of earlier songs, it's a foregone conclusion that these are the definitive issue: CHEROKEE wanted something special for their debut album and simply could not decide which songs to cut, and thus did thus they settle for a 15-song double-album. For them, it is honest, handmade guitar-driven music, a perfect mix of hard rock and blues, fun and power. The soundtrack for any situation in life, be it on your way to work, the soundtrack to an antisocial drinking night, road trips to festivals in the middle of nowhere – to cure post festival depression, or to spice up your next visit to grandma's house – Blood and Gold is the sonic travelogue to get you there and get you feeling GOOD.
If you feel good to the immortal Thin Lizzy, Rainbow, Wishbone Ash, UFO, and Dire Straits or modern antecedents like the aforementioned Freeways, SANDSTORM, Haunt, MIDNIGHT PREY, and Savage Master, then CHEROKEE are guaranteed to be your new favorite band – and Blood and Gold your new favorite record(s)!

DVP 197 Destructo – Demonic Possession LP/CD/Shirts
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DESTRUCTO's striking debut album, Demonic Possession, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
The sound, attitude, and execution of DESTRUCTO is similar to the band's moniker: destructive, merciless and total fukk-off-driven! Formed in 2018 as a side-project between erstwhile Dödsrit and Nuclear Devastation bandmates Soulcrusher and Motörphallus as a tribute to bands like Sarcofago, Syphilitic Vaginas, and Japan's Sabbat, DESTRUCTO delivered their debut demo in 2019 – 19 minutes of total & utter destruction!
In the meantime, insanity, blasphemy, narcotics, and intoxication all played their part in inspiring DESTRUCTO's debut album, Demonic Possession. Here, the power-trio amplify those noble influences to a fever pitch while also bringing forward influences from Bathory, Hellhammer, and especially G.I.S.M. With ten songs spanning a skull-crushing 40 minutes, Demonic Possession is a wild fucking ride, even for those prepared to get on in the first place. Cacophonic screams, primitive riffs, bulldozing bass, and berserking D-beats all collide with vocals which approximate a gnarling demon on strict diet of whiskey and amphetamines, making the album best to be enjoyed with...whiskey and amphetamines! Put another way, DESTRUCTO make an even stronger case for being the bastard child of raw and chaotic first-wave black metal blended with an unhealthy dose of '80s speed/thrash metal mania, Motörcharged riffs & rock 'n' roll grooves that creates the Devil's Rock 'n' Roll!
Armed with production that's slicing and slimy in equal measure and an overwhelming sense of danger both in songwriting and especially execution, the question remains: can you handle DESTRUCTO's Demonic Possession? ARGHHH!!

DVP 198 Galaxy – On the Shore of Life LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present GALAXY's highly anticipated debut album, On the Shore of Life, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
GALAXY are a heavy metal band from Melbourne, Australia. Lost From the Start, their debut EP released in late 2019 by DYING VICTIMS, was a nod to the speed and traditional heavy metal of the 1980s, replete with the furious riffs and high-octane vocals one would demand from the genre. GALAXY are now set to release their follow-up, and first full-length album, On the Shore of Life. This time around, the band has spared no effort to make the music more dynamic and adventurous: the songs exhibit a greater sense of scope and take the listener to darker and colder climes.
Songwriter Stu Callinan (who handles all guitars and bass) and vocalist / lyricist Phillip T. King are joined on the recording by legendary session drummer and special guest Simon Phillips, who over the years has stinted with the likes of Judas Priest, the Michael Schenker Group, The Who, and Jeff Beck. His special guest-performance has created a most powerful foundation for the music to layer upon, lifting GALAXY's new material to heights previously undreamt. And that new material melds Mercyful Fate and Megadeth-style riffing with the melody and song-based focus of Thin Lizzy and '70s Judas Priest and the adventurousness of early Fates Warning: On the Shore of Life, indeed!
In a post-covid world where the future of live music remains unpredictable, GALAXY will be back onstage as soon as possible. In the meantime, the spirited performances on this new record do well to propagate GALAXY's tales of joy and madness, of love and loss, of fear and courage... Join GALAXY at the next port of their journey, On the Shore of Life!

DVP 199 The Night Eternal – Moonlit Cross MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present THE NIGHT ETERNAL's highly anticipated debut album, Moonlit Cross on music cassette format.
It was but 2019 when THE NIGHT ETERNAL released their bolt-from-the-blue self-titled EP. For a first public recording, The Night Eternal was nothing short of masterful, revealing a depth and wisdom far beyond the band's meager years. Across its three primary tracks and poignant cover of Judas Priest's "(Take These) Chains" did the German quintet concoct a supremely powerful and stirringly moody sort of heavy metal, both traditionally pure-steel in their dynamics yet also brimming with epicness and a sort of forlorn heroism. Not for nothing did it garner THE NIGHT ETERNAL a handsome amount of attention.
Now, with more eyes on them, THE NIGHT ETERNAL emerge from the shadows with their full-length debut, Moonlit Cross. Ever aptly titled, Moonlit Cross moves like a travelogue across the mysteries of the night – and of course, THE NIGHT ETERNAL's namesake itself. Still night-prowling like that first EP, here on their first full-length salvo do the band reveal more (and more powerful, and moodier) shades of their epic sound, bridging both the epic end of traditional metal as well as the root variants which preceded it.
As the band explain, "In comparison to the self-titled EP, on Moonlit Cross we´ve included even more influence from various kinds of guitar-driven rock music, ranging from the '70s to the '80s, which shaped us as musicians. Combining it with our own sinister style of heavy metal allowed us to exactly create the music we'd been missing in today's scene. We invite you on a journey to the lowest depths of our hearts."
Indeed, the swagger THE NIGHT ETERNAL exhibit here owes more to early hard rock, invoking such names as Thin Lizzy, Rainbow, Scorpions as well as heavier sounds reminiscent of Mercyful Fate and Black Sabbath´s Dio-era. Yet, familiar as these touchstones may sound, the darkness they so dramatically drape across their compositions puts Moonlit Cross on another realm altogether – and one, it must be said, that evades easy categorization, be it stylistically or chronologically. Simply, THE NIGHT ETERNAL are putting their proverbial hearts on their sleeves, and the music they create is an honest, authentic, and goosebump-inducing reflection of the incredibly vital blood pumping in those hearts.
Massive hooks, sweeping dynamics, high drama, and of course, the commanding vocals of frontman Ricardo, all wrapped in a rich 'n' robust production by Ralf Praekelt, with mastering by Chris Common at Twin Hills Recording – THE NIGHT ETERNAL have truly arrived with Moonlit Cross.

DVP 194 Hexenbrett- Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi MC
DYING VICTIMS is proud to present a special new EP from TTERBNEXEH, Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi, on CD, music cassette and 12" vinyl formats.
It was but May of the cursed year of 2020 when TTERBNEXEH truly came into their own with their shockingly masterful debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten, courtesy of DYING VICTIMS. While the enigmatic duo of Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolétte had definitely turned heads with Erste Beschwörung EP in 2019, their debut album's idiosyncratic kaleidoscope of Varathron, Jean Rollin, Danzig, Goblin, and Van Halen emerged as completely unique and unlike little else around.
Predictably unpredictable, TTERBNEXEH return with a crazed 'n' crazy EP that's the result of canceled concerts and tours: the four-song Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi. As suggested by its titled, the record is no "Beschwörung" but, rather, an intermezzo. Because, for the first time in the brief history of TTERBNEXEH, this EP does not feature performances by Josto Feratu or Scarlettina Bolétte. Instead, the tracks were recorded by what had been the live line-up for 2020, but of course under the watchful eyes and ears of the clandestine couple.
Suitably, Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi strays some from the TTERBNEXEH sound so far revealed whilst etching the band's twisted identity even further. With all songs and lyrics written by the duo of Feratu and Bollétte – except for a reverential cover of the early Misfits track "Return of the Fly" – the band's original material here displays new facets in TTERBNEXEH sound: heavier, weirder, more atmospheric and more aggressive. It's basically more of everything and the most accurate presentation of The Sound Of the Bloody Iris to date, and bloody fucking good no matter how you cut! While TTERBNEXEH previous full-length record featured unexplainable additional sounds in the background of the tracks, the material on Intermezzo... had to be re-recorded many times as things got lost continuously. It seems as if Feratu and Bolétte are still haunted from their past... But hark! Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi is no taster/teaser of the second TTERBNEXEH full-length. Those mysteries are only known to the duo.

DVP 205 Venator – Echoes from the Gutter LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Austria's VENATOR, Echoes From the Gutter, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Despite forming in 2016, it was not until 2020 when VENATOR made their recorded debut with the EP Paradiser. Nevertheless, the three songs contained therein were an incredibly auspicious first start, showing VENATOR as a band seemingly thawed out from 1983, so authentic and skyward was their songwriting. Wrapped in a uniquely retro-futuristic production, Paradiser pointed the way forward for VENATOR, and the buzz began to build.
Now, that buzz is gonna boil over with the band's full-length debut, Echoes From the Gutter. Graced with yet another amazingly era-authentic artwork courtesy of frontman Hans Huemer, Echoes From the Gutter takes the melody and moodiness of its no-less-inconsiderable predecessor to uncharted heights (and depths!) of glory, both grimy and gleaming. Right from the record's very first seconds, VENATOR burst and bristle with an electricity that's positively, stunningly addicting; ANTHEM after ANTHEM is doled out with almost laissez-faire ease, each hook hoisted heavenly and then brought back down to – yes – the gutter. It's the kind of album that walks that fine line between street-level and upwardly-mobile, much like heavy metal's forerunning bands of the early 1980s, when the landscape of conquest from club to stadium was still a special dream. Or, simply submit to the emotive vocals of Huemer, whose heart-on-sleeve clarity commands his bandmates onward, they in kind delivering a truly impassioned performance that encompasses many speeds and many moods, but always with those HOOKS front and center – and fucking GODLY solos! Seriously: the solos here!!!
Anyone pining for the 1983/'84 peak of the likes of Tokyo Blade, Grim Reaper, OZ, Witch Cross, Heavy Load, and even Judas Priest but adding to that hallowed lineage rather than plagiarizing it, you've found your new modern classic in VENATOR's Echoes From the Gutter!

DVP 206 Spectre – Drifter / The Black Jewel 7″
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from Australia's SPECTRE, Drifter, on 7" vinyl format.
SPECTRE is the sterling heavy metal vision of Will Spectre. Formed in 2017, the band made its recorded debut that summer with the two-song Silver Invaders / Stand Alone single on the cult Heavy Chains label, which DYING VICTIMS released on 7" vinyl later that year. SPECTRE's primary influences are heavy metal and hard rock of the late '70s and early '80s, and they continued that streak with the Hard Attacks digital single in 2018.
Now back with DYING VICTIMS, SPECTRE return with another short-yet-satisfying recording in the two-song Drifter. On this record, Will Spectre is joined by his heavy friends Jake Glas (Outcast/Teuton) on vocals and David Harrington-George (The Wizar'd/Tarot) on bass. Indeed, as the cover slyly nods to cult Japanese psychedelia surely known to the most devout trainspotters, so, too, do SPECTRE here sprinkle spices from Will Spectre's other musical conjurings – namely, The Wizar'd, Tarot, Dracula, and Crypt Vapor. What results on the title track "Drifter" and its flipside "The Black Jewel" is pure vintage bathos and pathos, the hard rocking moodier and more mysterious yet also more immediate and, somehow, disarmingly human in its naked bravado. The A-side gets the chest thumping and fists shaking, while the B-side is a haunting vision in velet: simple, sure, but also sublime. What dream singles are made of!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present LYNX's debut album "Watcher of the Skies" on music cassette format.
Lynx is a Heavy Rock Band, formed early 2020 in Gießen, Germany. After releasing their first demo recordings, they signed with No Remorse Records from Greece for their debut album. Fans of early ,,Boston" or ,,Scorpions" records should have a listen. Their sound is an unique approach towards guitar music of the 70s and 80s.

DVP 209 Schizophrenia – Recollections of the Insane MC / exclusive LP color
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SCHIZOPHRENIA's debut album Recollections Of The Insane on music cassette format. Additionally, DVP will be selling an exclusive, strictly limited purple color vinyl edition of the album.
Back in January 2020, SCHIZOPHRENIA came out of nowhere with their self-released debut EP "Voices" to hit the Extreme Metal underground like a bomb. With a relentless cocktail of high-adrenaline Death Metal and groovy mid-tempo elements, the band took the heavy scene by storm and soon became known for their distinctively heavy yet dynamic sound, bursting with detail and intensity.
Now, the four-piece from Antwerp, Belgium, reveal the first details of their highly anticipated debut studio album Recollections Of The Insane, which will see the light of day on February 25th, 2022 (on tape). With nine brand new tracks spanning over 43 minutes, the band's upcoming record picks up where "Voices" left off, with going even further in every aspect, sometimes even flirting with some melodic Death/Black Metal influences! Morbid Angel, Demolition Hammer, Slayer, early Sepultura, Dissection, Death, At The Gates, Obituary, Bolt Thrower, Pestilence...if any of these bands already gets you going, then imagine a blend of all of them combined with SCHIZOPHRENIA's unique and fresh interpretation of Extreme Metal!

DVP-R 006 Sacrifice – Total Steel LP
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a vinyl LP reissue of the cult second album of Japan's SACRIFICE, Total Steel. Licensed from Carnal Beast.
From their humble beginnings in 1985 on to their super-cult debut album, 1987's Crest of Black, Japan's SACRIFICE have stood for uncompromising, world-eating, thrashy METAL. Let's reiterate: thrashy heavy metal rather than pure thrash metal. Thick and viscous is their thrust, with straightforward songwriting and exceptionally mean delivery. However, it was with 1990's Total Steel where they'd perfect that signature style.
Much like Japanese punk takes bog-standard tropes and upends them in unique ways, so, too, did SACRIFICE do such with crossover on Total Steel. Aptly titled in its dedication to rivetheaded ignorance-is-bliss, Total Steel is a nine-song/46-monster which mainlines then-contemporaneous Cro-Mags, Venom, Razor, Carnivore, the UK's Sacrilege, Nasty Savage, The Exploited, and even early Celtic Frost into something that sounds like all those simultaneously and nothing like 'em at all. Credit is due to the band's bullheaded approach to riffing: hammer/hammer/hammer, hypnotically so, stripping everything down to its barbaric basics and then build 'em up to towering heights. Literally, you DROWN in their crush here, as nearly every vocal-led track tops five minutes, allowing for maximal immersion. Likewise, SACRIFICE's execution is creepy and sleazy in equal measure, spitting forth attitude even when the linguistic translations go astray. But, the closing couplet of "Don't Wanna Be Back in Black Days" and "Cold Storm" perhaps perfectly underline their particular headspace.
Amazingly, Total Steel sounds as refreshing today as time-locked as it sounded in 1990. Fans of Power Trip and Iron Age on to maniacs for metalpunk and those who hunt for Combat Core, bow before SACRIFICE!

DVP-R 007 Mad Butcher – Metal Meat LP
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a LONG-overdue reissue of MAD BUTCHER's cult-classic second album, Metal Meat, on vinyl LP format.
While it would seem that MAD BUTCHER were inspired by Germany's legendary Destruction, the truth is rather the other way around: MAD BUTCHER predated Destruction by a number of years, and began even earlier than Teutonic metal mainstays Accept, Steeler, Grave Digger, and Living Death. As such, they were one of the first real metal bands in Germany to pick up sonic influence from the burgeoning NWOBHM movement and the early US metal scene. And what they delivered with their ragged 'n' righteous debut album, 1985's Lightning Metal Attack, stands immortal to this day even though it's largely remained a cult curio among diehard metal collectors. RELICS FROM THE CRYPT reissued it on vinyl in late 2020, and now grants MAD BUTCHER's equally electric second album, Metal Meat, the same treatment.
Originally released on the long-dormant Metal Enterprises in 1987, Metal Meat is both an intensification of that rough-around-the-edges but addictingly spirited debut and a smoother, more-finessed version of it. It's imperative to understand that that Lightning Metal Attack was rather "behind the times" when it was originally released in 1985, given that MAD BUTCHER's subgenre-defiant sound spanned ALL heavy metal of the day, from NWOBHM to the early '80s US sound, before speed metal and then thrash splintered forth from that wider stylistic pool. That they then kinda cobbled it together into an adrenaline rush strikingly similar to speed metal is no mean feat. By comparison – and, crucially, retaining the same lineup as the debut – Metal Meat's speed metal songs cruised with confidence and ease, in no small part to the improved production, which was still considered "raw" by mainstream standards. However, it's those hooky, vaguely "mainstream" strutters here that make Metal Meat such a wild and enduring spin. There's never gonna be a moment where one would ever mistake MAD BUTCHER for a hair-metal band, but a great deal of this album sidles most sinisterly next to that oft-maligned idiom, the band's more pronounced hard-rock swagger suggesting the Sunset Strip rather than the industrial wasteland of their native Ruhr. Put another way, Metal Meat is far closer to the dark & heavy sleaze of early W.A.S.P. or even Exciter's way-ugly Unveiling the Wicked than, say, Poison or Ratt. And of course, MAD BUTCHER's innate German-ness rings loud and clear here, with vocalist/bassist Harry Elbracht delivering an effortlessly creepy performance.
And while MAD BUTCHER would disband in 1990, after two officially released albums and a third posthumously released in 2020, their legendry among the true-metal faithful was forever etched with Lightning Metal Attack – and further etched into the annals of CULT with its inadvertently strange follow-up. Now, for posterity, RELICS FROM THE CRYPT will deliver this Metal Meat right to your table, on the format it so deserves: vinyl!

DVP 202 Tension – Decay LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Germany's TENSION, Decay, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Hailing from Leipzig, Germany's TENSION was founded in 2015 by vocalist Maik H. and guitarist Phil. M. during a night of dozens of heavy metal records and unlimited amounts of beer. The band was then rounded out by ex-members of Toxic Beast and Germany's Prowler.
From the beginning, TENSION's influences were firm: the First Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal (or FWOSWHM), including the likes of Gotham City, Heavy Load, Jackwave, Parasite, Jonah Quizz, Depzon, and Stitch among others; the always-eternal NWOBHM, but particularly Satan, Traitors Gate, Wolf, Ritual, and Lime Light; heavy metal from the Eastern Bloc like Aria, Ossian, Formel I, Omen, and Pokolgép; and different kinds of punk music, but most prominently The Misfits and Discharge. In other words, the PERFECT type of band for DYING VICTIMS – and not surprisingly, TENSION released their self-titled debut EP through the label in 2017. Gigs followed with the esteemed likes of Manilla Road, Satan, Pagan Altar, Tokyo Blade, and Alien Force among others.
Now, nearly five years since the Tension short-length, TENSION unleash their debut album, Decay. Right from its very first seconds, Decay sparkles with an excitement that's absolutely addicting and endearingly timeless, running through a virtual jukebox of Old but brimming with the effervescence of Now. It's pure heavy metal, through and through, with juiced-up hard rock and moody punk subtly integrated, and the power is always in abundance but never overbearing; TENSION's cool & cruising momentum harkens to a lost era of feel over sheer speed. At the fore are nightsky-ascending lead guitars, whose narrative melodies straddle a fine line between metal classicism and something closer to dark hard rock. And Maik's clear 'n' emotive vocals bespeak bathos and pathos, bravado but tenderness, epic adventures as well as long nights at the bar.
The cassette and CD versions of Decay will include nine tracks, with the self-titled EP added to the latter as bonus tracks. The vinyl version of the album will include eight tracks due to length, with the extra track saved for a split EP to be released later in 2022. In the meantime, no better time to experience the "Higher Power" of TENSION's Decay!

DVP 203 Tangent – Tangent MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut mini-album of Australia's TANGENT, self-titled Tangent, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Three wild dogs! Four wild tracks!! Locked down, loaded up, and ready to explode on DYING VICTIMS: this is the self-titled first recording from Melbourne's TANGENT, heavy metal from the suburbs north of the river. Despite their newness of existence, their sound is most definitely OLD, which should come as no surprise given the power-trio's membership includes current and former members of Demons Gate, Outcast, Convent Guilt, and Shackles among others.
Simple but not simplistic, resilient to time and trends and rippling with feeling and energy at every turn, Tangent is a rough 'n' rowdy trawl through rundown bars and desolate backstreets, but with the world weighing heavy on the mind of the protagonist. As such, heroic hot-rockin' underpins TANGENT's thrust, giving each of these four anthems-in-the-making an astute balance between the pensive and the powerful. It's all fondly familiar, but hazily recast in a refreshing manner, like a lost Heavy Pettin' recording found in the Eastern Bloc during the '80s or if Saxon had shared a practice space with Omen in some alternate time/space fold. Or, simply, the first makings of something special and EPIC.
With mastering by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony giving it an exceptionally olde-worlde feel, theTangent mini album is ready to explode!

DVP 204 Vicious Knights – Alteration Through Possession LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VICIOUS KNIGHTS' striking debut album, Alteration Through Possession, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
VICIOUS KNIGHTS is an old-school death/thrash metal band, screaming from Thessaloniki, Greece. The band was formed in 2016 by Antonis "Harvester" (guitars/vocals) and Liakos (drums). Panos (bass guitar) entered the band a few months later. This three-piece of total maniacs self-released their first EP Malevolent Spirits on CD in 2018 and then reissued it in 2020 through the World War Now label. The band had many gigs in Greece presenting their first release and some of their newer material, making a great impact on the underground scene.
Now, armed with the support of DYING VICTIMS, VICIOUS KNIGHTS return to destroy the world with their first full-length, Alteration Through Possession! Curiously yet tellingly titled, Alteration Through Possession indeed transforms the listener...once that listener is ensnared in the power-trio's iron grip! Like a trip back to 1987, VICIOUS KNIGHTS live up to their moniker by invoking the old spirits of early Kreator, Destruction, Possessed, and Sepultura, combining more devotedly horror-specific lyrics with absolutely ass-ripping DEATHRASH. They go beyond the gates to inflict eternal pain, their infernal overkill bestowing morbid visions upon those who still believe in razor-wire riffing, snarling-evil vokills, and straightforward drum-propulsion – and of course, actual songwriting. Simple, sure, but sublime: Alteration Through Possession is a pleasure to kill!

DVP 210 Reaper – Viridian Inferno LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia's REAPER, Viridian Inferno, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from the wildlands of Melbourne comes REAPER, four speed-freaks hellbent on exhuming the first-wave graves of the masters in primitive metal, punk, and thrash: Celtic Frost/Hellhammer, Bathory, Discharge, Venom, Warfare, and Sacrilege.
Since the release of their sold-out self-titled demo in 2017 and subsequent LP reissue in 2019, REAPER have kept up an almost-relentless show schedule, including many Australian, New Zealand, and festival appearances, as well as support slots for Aura Noir, Mortiis, Blasphemy, Dark Funeral, Vomitor, Immolation, and more, with an upcoming European attack currently in the works...
In the meantime, REAPER make their full-length debut with Viridian Inferno, under the auspices of DYING VICTIMS. No change and no compromise, and definitely no quarter: Viridian Inferno contains ten savage tracks of their hyper-aggressive hybrid of '80s hellhammering speedmetalpunk. Possessed by their REAPER's debut demo? Then Viridian Inferno is gonna absolutely crush you with its megaton-heavy grime. New to the ways of these post-apocalyptic road warriors? Hop aboard their wasteland rover, hold onto the gun-mount, and pray no massive spikes impale you aboard the ride...
Beware the nightmare's sound! There's no escape from the REAPER: Viridian Inferno is coming for outsider minds, headbangers, and metal maniacs of the apocalypse! The ultimate price you'll pay, and your bones will pave the way....
– Regular edition on black vinyl, with insert, poster, sticker, post card and download code.
– Special edition on swamp green vinyl, with insert, poster, sticker, post card, download code and patch.
– CD edition with sticker.

DVP 211 Harbinger – Doom on You LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a long-overdue vinyl LP edition of Doom on You, the lone cult album of Michigan's HARBINGER.
Originally released in 2009 by Chris Black's Planet Metal label but only on CD, Doom on You would be the only full-length Lansing, Michigan's HARBINGER would record. While a couple demos preceded it and a late-coming split 7" with Züül would be released in 2015, the band effectively broke up following the album's original release, and Doom on You would successively grown in stature as a gem of cult American metal.
HARBINGER had its roots in a preceding band called Thwarter, which was admittedly "hugely influenced by Holy Terror, Sabbat, and Sadus." As Thwarter eventually transitioned into HARBINGER and the lineup began to solidify, their style shifted away from thrash-leaning to more classic heavy metal, influenced as much by NWOBHM mainstays as Satan, Avenger, Iron Maiden, Praying Mantis, and Tokyo Blade as well as the power metalled likes of Gotham City, Nocturnal Rites, and Jag Panzer. With the joining of bassist Doc, HARBINGER then recorded a whole album's worth of songs.
"This was around 2005 to 2006," guitarist Victron Power L. continues the story. "Though the band never really caught on except with a few local friends at the time, we decided we should try to record the songs around that time. This was ill fated, and the original recording session with our friend Kevin was a disaster due to far too much partying, poor rehearsal, and overwhelming levels of power. We threw in the towel around 2007 but decide to give it another go a year later that resulted in the album Doom on You, or 'Fuck You' in Vietnamese."
However, that second go didn't yield the intended results, continues the guitarist: "The recording of Doom on You the second time around was not necessarily better managed, and still there was much tomfoolery and partying, and even the initial recordings from 2008 were are also destroyed in a cataclysmic event involving a bottle of alcohol, a misstep, and collision with the recording devices. However, upon the third attempt to record the album, we were able to see it through to the end, and that album is what you see here."
Like a band out of time, HARBINGER strafed against the prevailing paradigms of 2009, when Doom on You was finally released, but there's equally an effervescent sense of freshness here that puts the record far beyond retro retread. Raw and slick simultaneously, flashy yet fierce and also FUN, brimming with bright leads and dark ones, and an utterly engaging GOING-FOR-IT attitude, it's practically impossible not to get swept up in Doom on You. The punk roots of most of the band's members give their classic American power metal style a unique aspect, with a bevy of unusual twists and turns that, say, Agent Steel would've taken, but that just makes HARBINGER hit that much harder and lodge the album deeper into its your psyche. Seriously, this is cult metal for cult metallers, played by cult metallers!
"Though there was a lot of passion, a lot of friendship, and also a lot of bickering, we were able to leave this testament for us and a few of our friends who really liked what we did," concludes Victron. "After the album came out on CD through Chris Black's old label Planet Metal Records, we did one more show with Cauldron and Enforcer at Blondies in Detroit and put the band on a rest. We would return some years later to record a new song and play some concerts, but it was a little different and maybe should have been called something else."
The members of HARBINGER played in many other projects afterwards: vocalist Matt Warr had Wastelander and now Low Magic; Doc had Locust Point; and Victron along with drummer Sean Cyriis and fellow guitarist David Ruiz followed with Borrowed Time and now Prelude to Ruin. But that one lone album document of Doom on You retained such a special magic, such a snapshot in time, that DYING VICTIMS felt duty-bound to preserve the name of Michigan's HARBINGER for posterity – and we're all the richer that it's suitably (and FINALLY) being released on the format it so deserves, VINYL!

DVP 216 Armory – Mercurion LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Sweden's ARMORY, Mercurion, on CD and vinyl LP
Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden's ARMORY started out in 2012 and have been delivering hyper-speed metal ever since. After two demos, the debut album World Peace... Cosmic War was released via High Roller Records in 2016, and it garnered great reviews from all around the world. The band then got to share the stage with bigger bands such as Pentagram and Nifelheim.
With all the new experience, ARMORY went into the studio again in late 2017 to record their second album. That album, The Search, was released in July 2018 via High Roller and again did it garner great reviews and proved that the songwriting had developed in the right direction. The band was also able to break new ground outside of Sweden with gigs in Germany, Belgium, and Denmark.
With two albums under their belts, ARMORY were finally ready to make something that they had planned for years but previously didn't feel they were ready for: a full-blown sci-fi concept album with a story from start to finish. And now it arrives in the form of Mercurion, set to be released by new label home DYING VICTIMS. With this goal in place, this didn't just put more pressure on the lyrics but also to make the music more dramatic to fit the story – and dazzlingly and dynamically, ARMORY accomplish all that (and more!) across Mercurion. The album takes the listener through a dramatic journey aboard the starship Mercurion, named after the god Mercurius – the winged messenger of the gods, protector of travelers, and god of boundaries between worlds. ARMORY's now-trademark hyper-speed metal is more powerful and poignant than ever, pushing their boundaries of epic storytelling, mesmerizing hooks, and explosive solos whilst retaining their core sound. The production, in kind, carries the perfect balance of dirt and drama, grime and gleam, making their melodicism sound ever more effervescent while making sure this is the sound of five actual humans playing together as a band.
Now that band is heading out into space, and they beckon you to board Mercurion – ARMORY will guide the way!

DVP 212 Bunker 66/Hellcrash – Hell & Sulphur 7″
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Hell & Sulphur, a special split 7" between BUNKER 66 and HELLCRASH.
Highlighting two of Italy's filthiest metal entities, Hell & Sulphur features an exclusive track each from BUNKER 66 and HELLCRASH, both of whom delivered full-lengths for DYING VICTIMS last year. BUNKER 66 are up first with "Pandemonial Storms," which sounds exactly like how it's titled. Their long-awaited Beyond the Help of Prayers proved that there was still disgusting gasoline still left in their tank after nearly 15 years, and "Pandemonial Storms" punctuates that fact with Hellhammering, headbanging authority. HELLCRASH continue that hammering with the more Venomous "Hell Breaks Loose," indeed breaking loose with an apocalyptic speed metal pulse. Road warriors to the bitter end, their Krvcifix Invertör was lawless in every right way, and "Hell Breaks Loose" displays that all further laws will be broken – with a superlative "fuck off and die in Hell!" as it does at record's end. This is fucking Hell & Sulphur!

DVP 205 Venator – Echoes from the Gutter CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Austria's VENATOR, Echoes From the Gutter, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Despite forming in 2016, it was not until 2020 when VENATOR made their recorded debut with the EP Paradiser. Nevertheless, the three songs contained therein were an incredibly auspicious first start, showing VENATOR as a band seemingly thawed out from 1983, so authentic and skyward was their songwriting. Wrapped in a uniquely retro-futuristic production, Paradiser pointed the way forward for VENATOR, and the buzz began to build.
Now, that buzz is gonna boil over with the band's full-length debut, Echoes From the Gutter. Graced with yet another amazingly era-authentic artwork courtesy of frontman Hans Huemer, Echoes From the Gutter takes the melody and moodiness of its no-less-inconsiderable predecessor to uncharted heights (and depths!) of glory, both grimy and gleaming. Right from the record's very first seconds, VENATOR burst and bristle with an electricity that's positively, stunningly addicting; ANTHEM after ANTHEM is doled out with almost laissez-faire ease, each hook hoisted heavenly and then brought back down to – yes – the gutter. It's the kind of album that walks that fine line between street-level and upwardly-mobile, much like heavy metal's forerunning bands of the early 1980s, when the landscape of conquest from club to stadium was still a special dream. Or, simply submit to the emotive vocals of Huemer, whose heart-on-sleeve clarity commands his bandmates onward, they in kind delivering a truly impassioned performance that encompasses many speeds and many moods, but always with those HOOKS front and center – and fucking GODLY solos! Seriously: the solos here!!!
Anyone pining for the 1983/'84 peak of the likes of Tokyo Blade, Grim Reaper, OZ, Witch Cross, Heavy Load, and even Judas Priest but adding to that hallowed lineage rather than plagiarizing it, you've found your new modern classic in VENATOR's Echoes From the Gutter!

DVP 208 Lynx – Watcher of Skies MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present LYNX's debut album "Watcher of the Skies" on music cassette format.
Lynx is a Heavy Rock Band, formed early 2020 in Gießen, Germany. After releasing their first demo recordings, they signed with No Remorse Records from Greece for their debut album. Fans of early ,,Boston" or ,,Scorpions" records should have a listen. Their sound is an unique approach towards guitar music of the 70s and 80s.

DVP 209 Schizophrenia – Recollections of the Insane MC / exclusive LP color
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SCHIZOPHRENIA's debut album Recollections Of The Insane on music cassette format. Additionally, DVP will be selling an exclusive, strictly limited purple color vinyl edition of the album.
Back in January 2020, SCHIZOPHRENIA came out of nowhere with their self-released debut EP "Voices" to hit the Extreme Metal underground like a bomb. With a relentless cocktail of high-adrenaline Death Metal and groovy mid-tempo elements, the band took the heavy scene by storm and soon became known for their distinctively heavy yet dynamic sound, bursting with detail and intensity.
Now, the four-piece from Antwerp, Belgium, reveal the first details of their highly anticipated debut studio album Recollections Of The Insane, which will see the light of day on February 25th, 2022 (on tape). With nine brand new tracks spanning over 43 minutes, the band's upcoming record picks up where "Voices" left off, with going even further in every aspect, sometimes even flirting with some melodic Death/Black Metal influences! Morbid Angel, Demolition Hammer, Slayer, early Sepultura, Dissection, Death, At The Gates, Obituary, Bolt Thrower, Pestilence...if any of these bands already gets you going, then imagine a blend of all of them combined with SCHIZOPHRENIA's unique and fresh interpretation of Extreme Metal!

DVP 217 Ironhawk – Ritual of the Warpath LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia's IRONHAWK, Ritual of the War Path, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
From the remote backwaters of Tasmania, IRONHAWK emerged in 2013 at a ramshackle basement gig where a hijack of the stage to butcher a handful of Motörhead covers lit the fuse, which in turn exploded as the unholy trinity of Simon (ex-Bastard Squad, Distroy), Mitch (ex-Vulgar, Bulletproof), and Ange (The Wizar'd, Tarot) cast blackened metalpunk forged in the flames of Bathory, Amebix, Sacrilege, Venom, and English Dogs.
The year 2014 saw the first round of tracks to be released as the mini-album Boozehounds From Hell. However, it was in the years that followed that IRONHAWK would gain momentum, with rowdy live shows around Australia and beyond, building their following of headbangers and hellraisers. The year 2017 saw the Cemetery of Steel EP give the taste of metalpunk fury, and upon the plague of 2020, IRONHAWK turned to the studio to lay down their long-awaited full-length debut, Ritual of the War Path.
Like a time-warp to 1985, Ritual of the War Path is a grandiose-yet-grimy statement of ancient metalpunk powers known only to the most devout. To say that IRONHAWK are indeed "devout" – and direly so – to their etched-into-steel influences would be an understatement; to say that the power-trio actually DO something with those influences is also an understatement. Thus, we hear the cavernous crunge of early Bathory, the sooty surge of early Sacrilege, the burning spirits of prime English Dogs, and definitely (and uniquely for this style) the epic landscapes of mid '80s Amebix across the album's surprisingly dynamic 37 minutes. It's that lattermost element, in particular, which puts Ritual of the War Path into rarefied territory, for instead of merely aping Amebix's most characteristic moments (or whole riffs themselves), IRONHAWK thread those textures into most of the album's songs, giving Motörcharge a new look – but one still rooted in a road warrior past.
Life is bleak, dark, perhaps beyond redemption. Why not hop on a rusty, bespiked dune-buggy and set out for new adventures on the wasteland with IRONHAWK's Ritual of the War Path?

DVP 218 Animalize – Meat We're Made Of LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of France's ANIMALIZE, Meat We're Made Of, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
The roots of France's ANIMALIZE go back to 2014, when the moniker was first chosen, but their lineup didn't solidify until 2018. From the beginning, the power-trio's influences were set: heavy metal from the '70s and '80s, but specifically the likes of Loudness, W.A.S.P., Tokyo Blade, Glenn Tipton, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn Hughes, and Annihilator and especially classic French heavy metal like ADX, Malediction, Sortilège and Warning. Synthwave and New Wave, both old and new, also musically influence ANIMALIZE.
However, it is the band's love of movies which arguably influences ANIMALIZE's outlook the most. For them, a visual identity and atmosphere – whether in their visual aesthetic, be it artwork or onstage, or especially their upcoming videos – is of the utmost importance. Film also feeds their lyrics, quite often. The band states that such movies as Evil Dead, Mad Max, Pet Sematary, Masters of the Universe, and Terminator are among their most beloved.
Armed with these noble touchstones, ANIMALIZE released their debut EP, Tapes from the Crypt, in 2020. A swift and solid 20 minutes, the EP displayed massive promise from ANIMALIZE, which they've handily surpassed with their full-length debut, Meat We're Made Of. Graced again with an unforgettable cover, Meat We're Made Of is a breathless and breathtaking statement. Its sound races all over the place, from cruising speed to tricky detours to headbanging mid-tempos, with an organized sort of mayhem, as explosive solos and dramatic vocal layering turn these nine beguiling songs into impossible anthems. That sound is undeniably HEAVY METAL, but ANIMALIZE manage to synthesize speed metal with power-thrash and traditional metal into a dizzying-yet-addicting blend that jumps across countries and even continents with insane ease. It's both futuristic and firmly rooted in the past, and the album's sterling production sharpens it to a katana.
Maybe most amazingly, this dazzling interplay comes from a power-trio, but ANIMALIZE will become a quartet for upcoming live shows. Likewise, Meat We're Made Of had, in fact, been finished for some time, but the band have prepared two music videos for its release which tell a story – eight actors in addition to the band, with tons of action and FX. Altogether, a suitably grand entrance for what will be one of metal's most literally explosive debuts this year!

DVP 219 Spellforcer – Upholders of Evil MLP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SPELLFORGER's explosive debut EP, Upholders of Evil, on 12" vinyl format.
Hailing from Indonesia, SPELLFORGER began in early 2020, highly influenced by early proto-black metal such as Celtic Frost, early Slayer, Bathory, Possessed, and also modern black metal-influenced thrash metal bands such as Cruel Force, Deathhammer, Condor, and Inculter. And since most of the members are a huge fans of the old-school style of death metal, SPELLFORGER's music also bears some slight '90s death metal influences, as well.
SPELLFORGER was formed by Demi Raldi (AKA Middernacht), and then he also invited a close friend named Jamie (AKA Carrion), who is also guitarist in the black metal bands Ashtarothum and Neurotic of Gods. Together, they then invited a veteran black metal drummer named Yaya (AKA L. Tchort), who has been involved in the black metal scene since the mid '90s. Some time after, SPELLFORGER was finally formed, with Middernacht recruiting a friend named Fauzan (AKA Horrifier) to fill the position of bassist even though his real skill is playing drums.
A few weeks after the band had formed, SPELLFORGER started to write their first single, "Pestilentia," and it was recorded three weeks later without any rehearsal. The song was widely well-received with black/thrash fans, with some viewing the band as giving a new, fresh injection into their local metal scene – this because Indonesia (in this case, Bandung) is widely known for its huge death metal scene, mainly focused on the brutal/slam style, which has largely been overdone. Instead, SPELLFORGER wanted to revive the spirit of old-school metal within their local scene, bringing a strong anti-poser attitude in their music and lyrics. The band are also against any other sort of trends that've been going on for quite some time within that local scene. Alas, SPELLFORGER released their debut EP, Upholders of Evil, on CD in early spring 2021 via Personal Records. Bearing six tracks in 22 minutes, Upholders of Evil is a fresh blast of old air, the band honoring the ancient ways – actual songwriting, live playing, unpolished recording – with utmost aplomb whilst never reeking of "retro" regressionism. The record reaped widespread acclaim, and came to the attention of DYING VICTIMS, who are now releasing it on the format it so rightly deserves: VINYL!
Simply put, this is METAL played by METAL maniacs – and DYING VICTIMS is indeed home to some of nowadays' most maniacal metal. If anyone needed further convincing, the title alone to Upholders of Evil should say more than enough, as SPELLFORGER likewise exude a tangible evil here: never overwrought nor overly obvious, this atmosphere authentically harkens to those ancient forebears. No other words needed: SPELLFORGER's Upholders of Evil will at last spread its black magick on vinyl!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BESTIALIS' debut demo "Prawdziwa Bestia" on music cassette format.

Legendary hordes such as KAT, Destroyers, Turbo, Pokolgep and Ossian are running through their veins and "Prawdziwa Bestia" represents these influences melted together into evil speed metal – a first step on their way to a full length.

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia's REAPER, Viridian Inferno, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from the wildlands of Melbourne comes REAPER, four speed-freaks hellbent on exhuming the first-wave graves of the masters in primitive metal, punk, and thrash: Celtic Frost/Hellhammer, Bathory, Discharge, Venom, Warfare, and Sacrilege.
Since the release of their sold-out self-titled demo in 2017 and subsequent LP reissue in 2019, REAPER have kept up an almost-relentless show schedule, including many Australian, New Zealand, and festival appearances, as well as support slots for Aura Noir, Mortiis, Blasphemy, Dark Funeral, Vomitor, Immolation, and more, with an upcoming European attack currently in the works...
In the meantime, REAPER make their full-length debut with Viridian Inferno, under the auspices of DYING VICTIMS. No change and no compromise, and definitely no quarter: Viridian Inferno contains ten savage tracks of their hyper-aggressive hybrid of '80s hellhammering speedmetalpunk. Possessed by their REAPER's debut demo? Then Viridian Inferno is gonna absolutely crush you with its megaton-heavy grime. New to the ways of these post-apocalyptic road warriors? Hop aboard their wasteland rover, hold onto the gun-mount, and pray no massive spikes impale you aboard the ride...
Beware the nightmare's sound! There's no escape from the REAPER: Viridian Inferno is coming for outsider minds, headbangers, and metal maniacs of the apocalypse! The ultimate price you'll pay, and your bones will pave the way....

DVP 211 Harbinger – Doom on You LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a long-overdue vinyl LP edition of Doom on You, the lone cult album of Michigan's HARBINGER.
Originally released in 2009 by Chris Black's Planet Metal label but only on CD, Doom on You would be the only full-length Lansing, Michigan's HARBINGER would record. While a couple demos preceded it and a late-coming split 7" with Züül would be released in 2015, the band effectively broke up following the album's original release, and Doom on You would successively grown in stature as a gem of cult American metal.
HARBINGER had its roots in a preceding band called Thwarter, which was admittedly "hugely influenced by Holy Terror, Sabbat, and Sadus." As Thwarter eventually transitioned into HARBINGER and the lineup began to solidify, their style shifted away from thrash-leaning to more classic heavy metal, influenced as much by NWOBHM mainstays as Satan, Avenger, Iron Maiden, Praying Mantis, and Tokyo Blade as well as the power metalled likes of Gotham City, Nocturnal Rites, and Jag Panzer. With the joining of bassist Doc, HARBINGER then recorded a whole album's worth of songs.
"This was around 2005 to 2006," guitarist Victron Power L. continues the story. "Though the band never really caught on except with a few local friends at the time, we decided we should try to record the songs around that time. This was ill fated, and the original recording session with our friend Kevin was a disaster due to far too much partying, poor rehearsal, and overwhelming levels of power. We threw in the towel around 2007 but decide to give it another go a year later that resulted in the album Doom on You, or 'Fuck You' in Vietnamese."
However, that second go didn't yield the intended results, continues the guitarist: "The recording of Doom on You the second time around was not necessarily better managed, and still there was much tomfoolery and partying, and even the initial recordings from 2008 were are also destroyed in a cataclysmic event involving a bottle of alcohol, a misstep, and collision with the recording devices. However, upon the third attempt to record the album, we were able to see it through to the end, and that album is what you see here."
Like a band out of time, HARBINGER strafed against the prevailing paradigms of 2009, when Doom on You was finally released, but there's equally an effervescent sense of freshness here that puts the record far beyond retro retread. Raw and slick simultaneously, flashy yet fierce and also FUN, brimming with bright leads and dark ones, and an utterly engaging GOING-FOR-IT attitude, it's practically impossible not to get swept up in Doom on You. The punk roots of most of the band's members give their classic American power metal style a unique aspect, with a bevy of unusual twists and turns that, say, Agent Steel would've taken, but that just makes HARBINGER hit that much harder and lodge the album deeper into its your psyche. Seriously, this is cult metal for cult metallers, played by cult metallers!
"Though there was a lot of passion, a lot of friendship, and also a lot of bickering, we were able to leave this testament for us and a few of our friends who really liked what we did," concludes Victron. "After the album came out on CD through Chris Black's old label Planet Metal Records, we did one more show with Cauldron and Enforcer at Blondies in Detroit and put the band on a rest. We would return some years later to record a new song and play some concerts, but it was a little different and maybe should have been called something else."
The members of HARBINGER played in many other projects afterwards: vocalist Matt Warr had Wastelander and now Low Magic; Doc had Locust Point; and Victron along with drummer Sean Cyriis and fellow guitarist David Ruiz followed with Borrowed Time and now Prelude to Ruin. But that one lone album document of Doom on You retained such a special magic, such a snapshot in time, that DYING VICTIMS felt duty-bound to preserve the name of Michigan's HARBINGER for posterity – and we're all the richer that it's suitably (and FINALLY) being released on the format it so deserves, VINYL!

DVP 216 Armory – Mercurion LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Sweden's ARMORY, Mercurion, on CD and vinyl LP
Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden's ARMORY started out in 2012 and have been delivering hyper-speed metal ever since. After two demos, the debut album World Peace... Cosmic War was released via High Roller Records in 2016, and it garnered great reviews from all around the world. The band then got to share the stage with bigger bands such as Pentagram and Nifelheim.
With all the new experience, ARMORY went into the studio again in late 2017 to record their second album. That album, The Search, was released in July 2018 via High Roller and again did it garner great reviews and proved that the songwriting had developed in the right direction. The band was also able to break new ground outside of Sweden with gigs in Germany, Belgium, and Denmark.
With two albums under their belts, ARMORY were finally ready to make something that they had planned for years but previously didn't feel they were ready for: a full-blown sci-fi concept album with a story from start to finish. And now it arrives in the form of Mercurion, set to be released by new label home DYING VICTIMS. With this goal in place, this didn't just put more pressure on the lyrics but also to make the music more dramatic to fit the story – and dazzlingly and dynamically, ARMORY accomplish all that (and more!) across Mercurion. The album takes the listener through a dramatic journey aboard the starship Mercurion, named after the god Mercurius – the winged messenger of the gods, protector of travelers, and god of boundaries between worlds. ARMORY's now-trademark hyper-speed metal is more powerful and poignant than ever, pushing their boundaries of epic storytelling, mesmerizing hooks, and explosive solos whilst retaining their core sound. The production, in kind, carries the perfect balance of dirt and drama, grime and gleam, making their melodicism sound ever more effervescent while making sure this is the sound of five actual humans playing together as a band.
Now that band is heading out into space, and they beckon you to board Mercurion – ARMORY will guide the way!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from Australia's SPECTRE, Drifter, on 7" vinyl format.
SPECTRE is the sterling heavy metal vision of Will Spectre. Formed in 2017, the band made its recorded debut that summer with the two-song Silver Invaders / Stand Alone single on the cult Heavy Chains label, which DYING VICTIMS released on 7" vinyl later that year. SPECTRE's primary influences are heavy metal and hard rock of the late '70s and early '80s, and they continued that streak with the Hard Attacks digital single in 2018.
Now back with DYING VICTIMS, SPECTRE return with another short-yet-satisfying recording in the two-song Drifter. On this record, Will Spectre is joined by his heavy friends Jake Glas (Outcast/Teuton) on vocals and David Harrington-George (The Wizar'd/Tarot) on bass. Indeed, as the cover slyly nods to cult Japanese psychedelia surely known to the most devout trainspotters, so, too, do SPECTRE here sprinkle spices from Will Spectre's other musical conjurings – namely, The Wizar'd, Tarot, Dracula, and Crypt Vapor. What results on the title track "Drifter" and its flipside "The Black Jewel" is pure vintage bathos and pathos, the hard rocking moodier and more mysterious yet also more immediate and, somehow, disarmingly human in its naked bravado. The A-side gets the chest thumping and fists shaking, while the B-side is a haunting vision in velet: simple, sure, but also sublime. What dream singles are made of!

DVP 222 Raptore – Blackfire LP/CD
DYING VICTMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RAPTORE's highly anticipated second album, Blackfire, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in late 2012 by vocalist/guitarist Nico Cattoni, RAPTORE originally hailed from Buenos Aires, Argentina and released their first demo in 2014. In 2016, they released their debut album, Rage N' Fever, which allowed them to tour South America and open for such bands as Exciter and Enforcer.
Not being able to find suitable musicians for a steady lineup, in 2018, Nico decides to move to Europe in order to give RAPTORE better opportunities and recognition. He set base in Barcelona and completed the lineup with three of the most talented musicians in the scene. One year later, they released the single "Prisoner Of The Night" through Church Recordings and were booked for festivals such as Pyrenean and Trveheim. Unfortunately, the pandemic delayed those concerts until 2022.
Nevertheless, the fortified RAPTORE lineup began work during 2021 on their second album, Blackfire, entering the esteemed Moontower Studios. Immediately, right from the very first notes, Blackfire EXPLODES with an excitement that simply cannot be contained. Righteously ripping, draped in darkness but lined with purple velvet, RAPTORE here give a masterclass in spooky speed metal: fierce yet fun, authentically rooted in the '80s but not blinkered by the past, and above all ADDICTING. That the quartet can maintain a bristling energy no matter the pace – cruising, headbanging, or overdrive – is some sort of black magick; that each track is anthemic in its own right and then altogether coalesce into a unified statement of intent is simply diabolical. But, while Blackfire is most definitely the band's darkest and fastest recording to date, let it be known that not everything is of a Satanic/vampiric/demonic intent; just as many personal messages exist within the album's eight-song/32-minute runtime. Which is all to say nothing of the evocative lead-work, which is literal FIRE!
Featuring an absolutely stellar mix & master courtesy of Javi Félez, Blackfire firmly establishes RAPTORE as worldwide contenders. From past to present – from Helstar, Liege Lord, and Chastain to Enforcer, Skull Fist, and White Wizzard – prepare to get BURNED!
– Regular edition on black vinyl, with insert, poster, sticker, post card and download code.

DVP 223 Suffering Sights – When Sanity Becomes Insanity LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with Burning Coffin Records, is proud to present SUFFERING SIGHTS' highly anticipated debut album, When Sanity Becomes Insanity, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
One of the best-kept secrets in the forever-burning Chilean underground, Santiago's SUFFERING SIGHTS formed in 2017 and have been steadily building their sound across a successive stream of two demos, a digital single, and most recently an EP. Now, that full arsenal of songs have been delivered in their ultimate form on the band's long-awaited debut album, When Sanity Becomes Insanity.
For those who've been following SUFFERING SIGHTS so far, the majority of the ten songs comprising When Sanity Becomes Insanity should come as no surprise: a feverish blast of deathrashing metal in the vein of later Possessed, Dark Angel, Texas' Devastation, and even '80s Death. Ripping is their assault and stout is their songwriting, with all instruments clearly heard (and powerful) in the mix, the quartet truly using their enviable chops in service of those ten songs. But, what's perhaps most surprising is how POWERFUL that production is: both era-authentic and timeless all the same, the album feels like a punch in the face while leaving a dizzying delirium in the mind, sounding exactly how a proper death/thrash record should. "No more but no less," as the maxim goes, which is all the more special given how rare such deathrash is these days.
So, When Sanity Becomes Insanity, open your eyes and see such SUFFERING SIGHTS!

DVP 224 Gallower – Eastern Witchcraft MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a new EP from GALLOWER, Eastern Witchcraft, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Formed in 2015, Poland's GALLOWER wasted no time in recording their first demo, Witch Hunt is On, which was released by Shadow Kingdom Records. A second demo, Through the Gallows, followed a year later, and both demos were re-released together on CD by Under the Tyrant's Banner.
The next couple years were spent playing gigs, with GALLOWER sharing stages with the likes of Angel Witch, Nifelheim, Satan, Blasphemy, Nocturnal, Attic, Hellish Crossfire, Witching Hour, Division Speed, and more. Finally, in 2019, recordings began in Bestial Sound Studio for their debut album, Behold the Realm of Darkness, which was released in June 2020.
As ever, GALLOWER have stayed true to their power-trio format – Nocturnitier rips the guitar, Speedfire bangs the drums, and Tzar gives his sepulchral voices and bulldozing bass – and they've reached something approaching ripping perfection with their latest Eastern Witchcraft EP. With a sound seeking the ultimate revenge and squarely located around 1985 (maybe even 1986), GALLOWER incite a riot of violence that skillfully melds the Teutonic legendry of Destruction, Sodom, Kreator, and Violent Force with the first-wave black magick of Bathory, Hellhammer, Venom, and Japan's Sabbat. No more but definitely no less, Eastern Witchcraft is a five-song/17-minute spell of destruction sure to entrance diehards and genre borderlanders alike. In particular, GALLOWER at present emit strong vibes of early Bulldozer, Running Wild, Deathrow, and pre-Rick Rubin Slayer.
To restate the obvious, this is a time-warp, and GALLOWER will definitely WARP even the sturdiest minds – this is Eastern Witchcraft!

DVP 221 Drifter – Demo 2021 MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DRIFTER's debut from 2021 on music cassette format.
After the initial release of Drifter's "Demo 2021" on Caviar Records and Tapes sold out immediately – it was obvious that a European version must be made available for wider distribution. Drifter's heavy metal rock plays like a dusty 7 incher from UK, 1981. Brimming with class, and hooks aplenty, their twin guitar attack and melodious approach to songwriting takes the listener back to the early days of heavy metal.
No need to start dropping names of all those obscure 7" titles – fans of this old feeling will not be disappointed. So sink your teeth into this aged piece of heavy metal mutton – and keep your ears to the ground as these steel wheels have just started down the track.

Five years after their "Militant Death Cult" EP and with a revamped line-up, UK-based INSURGENCY are back with a new 3-track demo. Combining the chaos of earlier releases with a more refined approach to performance and songwriting, INSURGENCY melds the speed and aggression of early thrash (Kreator/Sepultura/Dark Angel) with the lunatic cries of early grind (Repulsion/Terrorizer/Sadistik Exekution) and twisted song structures of contemporary Black Thrash (Slaughter Messiah/Nekromantheon/Antichrist). This shall pave the way for their upcoming debut album.

After stirring heavily in the underground cauldron with their debut mini-Album "Sex Metal" in 2021, the Silesian four-piece is back with a new demo. The 3-track advance tape to next year's full length album introduces the listener to the story of the ancient Sumerian king Zamus The Third while the music has turned even more evil and possessed than before: a filthy and merciless mixture of ancient black, speed and thrash metal.

DVP 228 Nocturnal – Arrival of the Carnivore LP
DVP 229 Nocturnal – Violent Revenge LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to reissue NOCTURNAL's legendary debut album, Arrival of the Carnivore, as well as its crushing follow-up, Violent Revenge, on 12" vinyl format.
Originally released in 2005 and 2009 respectively, both albums cemented the band's position as one of the leading black thrash acts of the post-2000 thrash scene and have ever since been reissued several times in various formats. However, records like these should be kept in print permanently and made available to new generations of underground maniacs. Nocturnal's thrash metal is inspired by the Teutonic legends of old as well as the early days of black metal. Fittingly, Arrival of the Carnivore contains not only the original Violent Force cover of "Sign of Evil", but also Bathory's "Enter the Eternal Fire" which was recorded in the same session.

DVP 225 War Ripper – Strength In Numbers 7″
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present WAR RIPPER's long-awaited second EP, Strength in Numbers, on 7" vinyl format.
While the name might be unfamiliar to many, WAR RIPPER is a side-project of prolific madman Joel Grind, who needs no introduction for the long-running (and influential) Toxic Holocaust as well as his solo work and the Tiger Junkies with Abigail founder Yasuyuki. From the start, WAR RIPPER was built on the foundation of honoring Joel's D-beat influences, and he thrillingly recast with the strict-yet-exciting Hellstorm EP in 2007 courtesy of Hells Headbangers.
While the years since have obviously been spent on Toxic Holocaust and their rigorous recording and touring demands, Joel Grind brought back WAR RIPPER in the pandemic-stricken 2020 with the EP Strength in Numbers. Originally released on Bandcamp, Strength in Numbers at last sees a physical release on 7" vinyl courtesy of longtime fans DYING VICTIMS. Picking up exactly where Hellstorm left off but buttressed by clear-yet-crushing production, Strength in Numbers is a swift 'n' satisfying statement of metallic D-beat. No more but definitely no less, and of course graced with Grind's encyclopedic knowledge of both metal and punk, WAR RIPPER's long-awaited second recording is sure to stoke maniacs of Disfear, Warcollapse, England's Disgust, later Anti-Cimex, and granddaddies of it all, Discharge.

DVP 217 Ironhawk – Ritual of the Warpath LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia's IRONHAWK, Ritual of the War Path, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
From the remote backwaters of Tasmania, IRONHAWK emerged in 2013 at a ramshackle basement gig where a hijack of the stage to butcher a handful of Motörhead covers lit the fuse, which in turn exploded as the unholy trinity of Simon (ex-Bastard Squad, Distroy), Mitch (ex-Vulgar, Bulletproof), and Ange (The Wizar'd, Tarot) cast blackened metalpunk forged in the flames of Bathory, Amebix, Sacrilege, Venom, and English Dogs.
The year 2014 saw the first round of tracks to be released as the mini-album Boozehounds From Hell. However, it was in the years that followed that IRONHAWK would gain momentum, with rowdy live shows around Australia and beyond, building their following of headbangers and hellraisers. The year 2017 saw the Cemetery of Steel EP give the taste of metalpunk fury, and upon the plague of 2020, IRONHAWK turned to the studio to lay down their long-awaited full-length debut, Ritual of the War Path.
Like a time-warp to 1985, Ritual of the War Path is a grandiose-yet-grimy statement of ancient metalpunk powers known only to the most devout. To say that IRONHAWK are indeed "devout" – and direly so – to their etched-into-steel influences would be an understatement; to say that the power-trio actually DO something with those influences is also an understatement. Thus, we hear the cavernous crunge of early Bathory, the sooty surge of early Sacrilege, the burning spirits of prime English Dogs, and definitely (and uniquely for this style) the epic landscapes of mid '80s Amebix across the album's surprisingly dynamic 37 minutes. It's that lattermost element, in particular, which puts Ritual of the War Path into rarefied territory, for instead of merely aping Amebix's most characteristic moments (or whole riffs themselves), IRONHAWK thread those textures into most of the album's songs, giving Motörcharge a new look – but one still rooted in a road warrior past.
Life is bleak, dark, perhaps beyond redemption. Why not hop on a rusty, bespiked dune-buggy and set out for new adventures on the wasteland with IRONHAWK's Ritual of the War Path?

DVP 218 Animalize – Meat We're Made Of LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of France's ANIMALIZE, Meat We're Made Of, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
The roots of France's ANIMALIZE go back to 2014, when the moniker was first chosen, but their lineup didn't solidify until 2018. From the beginning, the power-trio's influences were set: heavy metal from the '70s and '80s, but specifically the likes of Loudness, W.A.S.P., Tokyo Blade, Glenn Tipton, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn Hughes, and Annihilator and especially classic French heavy metal like ADX, Malediction, Sortilège and Warning. Synthwave and New Wave, both old and new, also musically influence ANIMALIZE.
However, it is the band's love of movies which arguably influences ANIMALIZE's outlook the most. For them, a visual identity and atmosphere – whether in their visual aesthetic, be it artwork or onstage, or especially their upcoming videos – is of the utmost importance. Film also feeds their lyrics, quite often. The band states that such movies as Evil Dead, Mad Max, Pet Sematary, Masters of the Universe, and Terminator are among their most beloved.
Armed with these noble touchstones, ANIMALIZE released their debut EP, Tapes from the Crypt, in 2020. A swift and solid 20 minutes, the EP displayed massive promise from ANIMALIZE, which they've handily surpassed with their full-length debut, Meat We're Made Of. Graced again with an unforgettable cover, Meat We're Made Of is a breathless and breathtaking statement. Its sound races all over the place, from cruising speed to tricky detours to headbanging mid-tempos, with an organized sort of mayhem, as explosive solos and dramatic vocal layering turn these nine beguiling songs into impossible anthems. That sound is undeniably HEAVY METAL, but ANIMALIZE manage to synthesize speed metal with power-thrash and traditional metal into a dizzying-yet-addicting blend that jumps across countries and even continents with insane ease. It's both futuristic and firmly rooted in the past, and the album's sterling production sharpens it to a katana.
Maybe most amazingly, this dazzling interplay comes from a power-trio, but ANIMALIZE will become a quartet for upcoming live shows. Likewise, Meat We're Made Of had, in fact, been finished for some time, but the band have prepared two music videos for its release which tell a story – eight actors in addition to the band, with tons of action and FX. Altogether, a suitably grand entrance for what will be one of metal's most literally explosive debuts this year!

DVP 219 Spellforger – Upholders of Evil MLP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SPELLFORGER's explosive debut EP, Upholders of Evil, on 12" vinyl format.
Hailing from Indonesia, SPELLFORGER began in early 2020, highly influenced by early proto-black metal such as Celtic Frost, early Slayer, Bathory, Possessed, and also modern black metal-influenced thrash metal bands such as Cruel Force, Deathhammer, Condor, and Inculter. And since most of the members are a huge fans of the old-school style of death metal, SPELLFORGER's music also bears some slight '90s death metal influences, as well.
SPELLFORGER was formed by Demi Raldi (AKA Middernacht), and then he also invited a close friend named Jamie (AKA Carrion), who is also guitarist in the black metal bands Ashtarothum and Neurotic of Gods. Together, they then invited a veteran black metal drummer named Yaya (AKA L. Tchort), who has been involved in the black metal scene since the mid '90s. Some time after, SPELLFORGER was finally formed, with Middernacht recruiting a friend named Fauzan (AKA Horrifier) to fill the position of bassist even though his real skill is playing drums.
A few weeks after the band had formed, SPELLFORGER started to write their first single, "Pestilentia," and it was recorded three weeks later without any rehearsal. The song was widely well-received with black/thrash fans, with some viewing the band as giving a new, fresh injection into their local metal scene – this because Indonesia (in this case, Bandung) is widely known for its huge death metal scene, mainly focused on the brutal/slam style, which has largely been overdone. Instead, SPELLFORGER wanted to revive the spirit of old-school metal within their local scene, bringing a strong anti-poser attitude in their music and lyrics. The band are also against any other sort of trends that've been going on for quite some time within that local scene. Alas, SPELLFORGER released their debut EP, Upholders of Evil, on CD in early spring 2021 via Personal Records. Bearing six tracks in 22 minutes, Upholders of Evil is a fresh blast of old air, the band honoring the ancient ways – actual songwriting, live playing, unpolished recording – with utmost aplomb whilst never reeking of "retro" regressionism. The record reaped widespread acclaim, and came to the attention of DYING VICTIMS, who are now releasing it on the format it so rightly deserves: VINYL!
Simply put, this is METAL played by METAL maniacs – and DYING VICTIMS is indeed home to some of nowadays' most maniacal metal. If anyone needed further convincing, the title alone to Upholders of Evil should say more than enough, as SPELLFORGER likewise exude a tangible evil here: never overwrought nor overly obvious, this atmosphere authentically harkens to those ancient forebears. No other words needed: SPELLFORGER's Upholders of Evil will at last spread its black magick on vinyl!

DVP 215 Bestialis – Prawdziwa Bestia MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BESTIALIS' debut demo "Prawdziwa Bestia" on music cassette format.
Hailing from Florida, Bestialis was started in mid-2020 by members of Hexorcist, Gnosis and Devastator with the mission to pay homage to the Eastern European Speed/Heavy Metal bands that all band members have been worshipping for decades. Legendary hordes such as KAT, Destroyers, Turbo, Pokolgep and Ossian are running through their veins and "Prawdziwa Bestia" represents these influences melted together into evil speed metal – a first step on their way to a full length.

DVP 220 Hallucinator – Another Cruel Dimension deluxe edition CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HALLUCINATOR's debut album "Another Cruel Dimension" as an enhanced deluxe edition on CD format.

This should make any 80s extreme metal fan want to take the trip and Hallucinator will lead into the darkest corners of human consciousness
This deluxe CD edition includes their 2020 "Another Cruel Dimension" debut album as the center-piece, enhanced by the new ep "Nightmare Idol" which came out in 2021 as well as their 2015 "Primeval Power" demo.

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present "Rough Cuts", a live recording between KARLOFF and INSANE on music cassette format.
Having released much acclaimed full-length albums via Dying Victims in 2021, the two bands, which are bound by a longtime friendship, teamed up for one concert in Sweden, when the plague did not allow for widespread touring. It was rough, it was wild, this is the underground! The cassette is the physical manifestation of this one-off night, featuring 4 songs each.

DVP 230 Vigilance – Vigilance MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Slovenia's VIGILANCE, simply self-titled Vigilance, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Born from the cavernous depths of Adelsberg, Slovenia's VIGILANCE have been unleashing their own brand of heavy metal since Walpurgisnacht 2010. Inspired both by the harmonic arts of the original NWOBHM wave and the sepulchral elements of the first wave of black metal, VIGILANCE have steadily perfected their craft over the past decade-plus, possessing a unique crossover appeal to fans of early Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate as equally as Venom and Bathory.
However, after years of taking that throwback sound to countless stages across Europe, it was VIGILANCE's fourth album, Enter the Endless Abyss – released in 2019 by DYING VICTIMS to widespread acclaim – where the band had their breakout moment. Dark and dynamic but galloping gloriously with the eternal luminescence of HEAVY METAL might, Enter the Endless Abyss proved that VIGILANCE had truly nailed their subtly unique sound – and made it more compelling than ever.
And although some three years have passed since that pivotal record, VIGILANCE return with the same fire on the brand-new mini-album Vigilance. Across its five-song/26-minute duration, VIGILANCE's self-titled salvo goes in an ever-epic direction, maximizing that (memorable) sonic storytelling they so compactly revealed on its full-length predecessor. Everything's still head- and fistbangingly metal, arguably even more so here – the dual-guitar work is FIRE in the non-flashiest way – but there's equally a sense of fantastical AOR ala classic-era Rainbow as the record progresses, hitting a heavenly high with nearly-seven-minute closer "Orbis Mundi." And while VIGILANCE's execution has never been doubted, on Vigilance do they loosen up a bit and let these more mysterious odes wind and wend with a suitably earthier feel. Put another way, take one look at that gorgeous cover artwork and you KNOW what you're in for!
VIGILANCE have been aging like a fine wine, and have only grown more potent. Drink deeply of the concise cup that is Vigilance!

DVP 233 Bunker 66 / Lucifuge – Of Night And Lust MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Of Night and Lust, a special split mini-album between BUNKER 66 and Germany's LUCIFUGE, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Both BUNKER 66 and LUCIFUGE should be familiar names to those versed in the dark deeds of DYING VICTIMS: Just earlier this year, BUNKER 66 released through the label a split 7" with fellow Italian filth-bangers HELLCRASH, as well as their long-awaited (and rightly celebrated) fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers, earlier in 2021; for their part, LUCIFUGE released their equally celebrated fourth album, Infernal Power, through DYING VICTIMS during the spring of 2021. Here on Of Night and Lust, both bands each deliver three exclusive songs, making for 24 minutes of ancient speed metal sleaze and metalpunk ghoulishness.
BUNKER 66 are up first and show no signs of slowing down, especially so after 15 years as a band now. "Mellhammer" and "Sulphurous Lust" are exemplary displays of their greasy speed-metal surge, and yet subtly exude an eerie aspect that perhaps point the way forward for future recordings. Capping their entry is a faithful cover of Motörhead's "Doctor Rock," which both underlines BUNKER 66's roots as well as reverently paying respect to the fallen gods of Lemmy and Würzel. LUCIFUGE follow with an even-more-blackened iteration of their etched-in-stone metalpunk across the tracks "The Great Unseen" and "In Blood and Dust." They conclude with a surprising-yet-storming anthem fittingly titled "Warriors of the Night." While many metal anthems have been attempted under such a title, you've truly never heard one as invigorating as this – nor LUCIFUGE so bright and brassy!

DVP 234 Witch Blade – Månsken LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Sweden's WITCH BLADE, Månsken, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Kristinehamn, Sweden's WITCH BLADE were formed back in 2012 by Witchlover and Witchhunter. The two childhood friends had been playing together in other projects but wanted to form a band that honored their heavy metal heroes: namely Angel Witch, Tokyo Blade, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. After writing a couple of songs, the band became a three-piece when drummer Witchburner joined in early 2013. The same year, the band recorded their self-titled debut demo, which sold out quickly and was later re-released by Levitate Records, followed by a 7" single titled Fjärrans Krig in 2014. After working as a sound engineer on the single recording, Witchdoctor joined on second guitar just in time for the band's debut album, Oskuldernas Eld, released in 2015 by DYING VICTIMS.
WITCH BLADE made their live debut in 2015 as a supporting act for Black Trip. Since then, the band have made several live appearances around Sweden. Thereafter, a period of hibernation followed until 2021, when the band decided to continue again as a trio. The result is something of a rebirth: Månsken, WITCH BLADE's second album.
While the cover to Oskuldernas Eld certainly clued listeners in to its contents, the one for Månsken compellingly complements the album's contents in a most tasteful fashion. There's undoubtedly an olde-worlde, magickally musty flair to WITCH BLADE here – also keenly note the band's change in logos – their traditional heavy metal going back even further in time to the proto-metal era. Nothing overdriven, nothing too over-the-top, just hard rocking AND hot rockin' and an almost narrative moodiness to the songwriting whilst staying locked into classic verse/chorus/break structures, WITCH BLADE once again locate that wonderful (and elusive) balance between garage-born emotion and swords & sorcery stateliness. To a man, the riffs and leads of guitarists Witchlover and Witchdoctor (who also drums here) often impart a melancholy on par with Wishbone Ash's Argus or Thin Lizzy's Black Rose, while frontman/bassist Witchhunter sings his heart out in his native tongue, which only heightens the heart-on-sleeve pathos across Månsken. And just like its full-length predecessor, the eight-song Månsken is an extremely swift & satisfying spin at 33 minutes.
All those denim-clad diehards and cloak-wrapped warlocks into early (and moody) hard rock AND cult NWOBHM, you are hereby commanded to witness the rebirth of WITCH BLADE with Månsken!

DVP 235 Spectre / Tension – Hard Attacks / Earth Crisis 7"
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a new split release between Spectre and Tension, on 7" vinyl format.
Both heavy metal acts are no strangers to Dying Victims and its audience, as they have released two EPs as well as an EP and an album respectively. Spectre's side contains one straight rocking track "Hard Attacks" which was originally recorded in 2017 and only distributed handmade CD-R which was given away for free with orders from the band's own Heavy Chains Records store.
Tension's debut album came out in early 2022 and was, unfortunately, quickly followed by the band splitting up. Now, posthumously, the last track of the CD edition of the album, "Earth Crisis", gets its well-deserved vinyl treatment as it was left off the vinyl in order to reduce playing time and to preserve the best possible sound. Melancholic heavy metal at its best!

DVP 228 Nocturnal – Arrival of the Carnivore LP
DVP 229 Nocturnal – Violent Revenge LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to reissue NOCTURNAL's legendary debut album, Arrival of the Carnivore, as well as its crushing follow-up, Violent Revenge, on 12" vinyl format.
Originally released in 2005 and 2009 respectively, both albums cemented the band's position as one of the leading black thrash acts of the post-2000 thrash scene and have ever since been reissued several times in various formats. However, records like these should be kept in print permanently and made available to new generations of underground maniacs. Nocturnal's thrash metal is inspired by the Teutonic legends of old as well as the early days of black metal. Fittingly, Arrival of the Carnivore contains not only the original Violent Force cover of "Sign of Evil", but also Bathory's "Enter the Eternal Fire" which was recorded in the same session.

DVP 236 Risingfall – Rise or Fall LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Japan's RISINGFALL, Rise or Fall, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Based in Tokyo, Japan's RISINGFALL formed in 2014. From the beginning, the band's foundation has been power-leaning heavy metal with an emphasis on vocal melodies. Stirred into their magickal cauldron are strong doses of NWOBHM, hard rock, and US power metal from the olden days.
RISINGFALL made their recorded debut in 2017 with the Prologue demo. That same year, the Tokyo Metal Fire live EP and "Far Britannia" were both released on Bandcamp. In 2018 came the Cry for the Steel EP, and a year the Arise from the Ashes (蘇る灰) EP. In 2020, at last would all these short-lengths be compiled onto CD format. And while a number of lineup changes occurred, but by 2019 did RISINGFALL finalize the lineup of founding guitarists Yoshiki and Kono, bassist Gyokusai Ishii, drummer Yuki, and erstwhile Military Shadow vocalist George Itoh. While performing live, work begins on the first RISINGFALL album.
At last, it is here, bearing the title Rise or Fall, but it comes not without tragedy: while recording was completed in spring 2021, Yoshiki was hospitalized after suffering from a chronic illness; later, in February 2022, he passes away. Thus, Rise or Fall is a tribute to this fiery six-stringer, and what a monument he leaves behind. Bristling with an energy that draws together the various likes of Saxon, Rainbow, Savage Grace, and especially Vicious Rumors and Michael Jackson-era Satan, RISINGFALL exude high drama and dazzling dynamics steeped in the rich tradition of hard rock and early heavy metal of the '70s bursting into the next decade with boundless possibilities. The scythe-sharp production makes Rise or Fall feel tastefully modern, but the band's highly refined set of influences all gel together into something timeless. Plus, the variety of songcraft across these eight tracks makes each one a stunner on its own while rendering Rise or Fall an album-length experience: each one is undeniably RISINGFALL, but they truly can do it all.
Due to the wishes of Yoshiki and his family, RISINGFALL will continue to perform, and Oyatata from the thrash band Mud Tiger has joined as second guitarist. Rest in power, Yoshiki: Rise or Fall will echo your metalized memory for time eternal!

DVP 237 Witchunter – Metal Dream LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Italy's WITCHUNTER, Metal Dream, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Founded in 2007, Italy's WITCHUNTER began as the manifestation of true heavy metal obsession. Foremost among those metallic obsessions were the NWOBHM, '80s European heavy metal and speed metal, and especially '70s hard rock sounds and attitude. It all coalesced together into a paradoxically refreshing time-warp where traditional metal in the vein of Angel Witch, Jaguar, Tygers of Pan Tang, and Saxon get the subtlest of twists, not to mention some evil mixing in a manner most Mercyful Fate and Black Sabbath. A true purist's band, then, but not one that's just lazy pastiche: WITCHUNTER are the real deal, from the beginning to now!
And now, since long years after their last LP, WITCHUNTER return hungrier than ever! Metal Dream is the name of that long-awaited comeback, and a more simple-yet-sublime title you will not find. Gleaming with a chrome-encased production that's pure '80s valor, WITCHUNTER's latest spans all the band's previous styles – dramatic speed metal overdrive, leather-and-chains strut, balls-to-the-wall headbangers – but the pure passion and charisma in which they deliver these nine primary tracks, the seamless expression of HEAVY METAL in ALL its glories, makes Metal Dream astounding to behold. Hooks, solos, aggression, dynamics, high notes, manliness, variety, everything heading out to the highway, and even some tasteful nods to Tony Martin-era Sabbath: it's a veritable jukebox of '82-'87, if we're being specific, although it's all palatably modern just the same. WITCHUNTER truly LIVE this, and it comes through loud 'n' proud in their songwriting.
If your metal heart beats purer than steel, awaken to WITCHUNTER's Metal Dream!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the first installation of its new compilation series, on CD format.
Aptly titled "Power Thrashing Death", this CD contains (sold out) demos/eps by 5 of the most ravaging Speed/Thrash/Death metal acts on the label. All of these have so far been available only on cassette tape and are now unleashed onto a broader mass. Featured bands are Austria's Death Racer with their first demo "Qualifying" (Black/Speed), Chile's Hellpossession with their latest demo "Phantom Aggressor" (Black/Thrash/Speed), USA's Reaver with their debut demo "Butchery from Beyond!" (Death), France's Savagery with their first ep "Off the Ruins..." (Speed/Thrash) as well as Germany's Terok Nor with their debut ep "Rematerialization Fails" (Death/Thrash).

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a new three-track demo by Deathstorm, on music cassette format.
Two years after their punishing fourth album "For Dread Shall Reign", the Austrian three-piece is back with "Swarming", a new demo. After 15 years of high-quality thrashing in an ever-steady line-up (the band underwent a name change from "Damage" to "Deathstorm" though), the band knows exactly what they are capable of and what kind of sound their creations need. These two originals plus an additional (highly unusual) cover track are the result of their self-recording aspirations – and the sound turned out perfect for this uncompromising death thrash massacre!

DVP-R 008 Sortilège – Larmes de héros Box/LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a long-overdue vinyl reissue of the classic second album of France's SORTILÈGE, Larmes de héros.
A cult fixture in the '80s French heavy metal scene that retroactively grew in legendry, SORTILÈGE defined a unique national style that had equal footing in the NWOBHM, contemporaneous hard rock, and nascent epic metal. Formed in 1981 and releasing a demo and EP over the new two years, it was SORTILÈGE's 1984 debut album, Métamorphose – also concurrently released in an English-language version as Metamorphosis – that truly introduced the band to worldwide audiences with a wild 'n' weird iteration of heavy metal. While that English version made their unique style more palatable (helped in no small part by its release on Steamhammer), it's arguably the French-language version that defined the SORTILÈGE sound. And so it went with its superior follow-up.
Again released in both French- and English-language versions, SORTILÈGE's second album is a tour de force of true-metal passion and performance, mysticism and might. Blithely summarized as French romantic twist on Judas Priest's transition from the '70s to the '80s – or, rather, spanning Sin After Sin to Defenders of the Faith – the original Larmes de héros was released in that golden year of 1986, harkening to a fantastical place far, far away where hot rockers bloomed into heroic-yet-tragic epics. The English version of Hero's Tears plainly spells out the path ahead, but the dramatic (and oft-melancholic) vocals of Christian Augustin in his native language truly chill/sizzle the soul: a veritable French Metal God. Not to be outdone, his bandmates create a canvas at once anthemic and narrative; pacing is crucial across Larmes de héros, as more direct power-surges flank the album's utterly immersive epic songs. And at nine songs across 46 minutes, you feel like you've undertaken a hero's journey – but one not without a monumental amount of headbanging.
Tragically and too fittingly, Larmes de héros would be SORTILÈGE's final studio album. A number of re-formations would happen over the next couple decades and then fizzle out, but the true SORTILÈGE died with Larmes de héros. Wipe away those hero's tears, though, for RELICS FROM THE CRYPT at long last resurrects this stone-cold classic for posterity!

DVP-R 009 Rampage – Veil of Mourn LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a long-overdue vinyl reissue of the cult lone album of Australia's RAMPAGE, Veil of Mourn, along with a CD edition with both demos as bonus.
While there have been many Rampages past and present, there was only one RAMPAGE from Australia – and a more cult band you will not find. Formed in 1985, the band went through several lineup changes before recording their debut demo, Acid Storm, in July 1986. Recorded on a home 4-track, the demo sold well in their native Melbourne but failed to gain any interest. More lineup changes followed the next year, with a pre-production demo recorded as a prelude to their album, but once again, RAMPAGE failed to generate any record company interest. Then, in late 1987, the band recorded, produced, and financed their debut album, Veil of Mourn, which was more-or-less self-released in early 1988. Extensive touring across Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra, and Brisbane followed. Likewise, excellent record sales locally and overseas followed, but no interest from international record companies came. In May 1988, vocalist/guitarist George Mitrov rang bassist Dave Frew and advised that he had found God and would no longer have anything to do with the band; cancellation of all gigs followed. Then, later that year, Dave Frew (who had formed TYRUS with Peter Hobbs) and drummer Bruno Canzianni join Hobbs Angel of Death, and RAMPAGE effectively came to an end.
However, as a lone document of a band and era, RAMPAGE's Veil of Mourn is superlative in every sense. There's a distinct ruggedness to the band's ceaselessly shifting style of thrash. Mind you, NOT necessarily "rawness" – although the album's production certainly tends toward the rough – but RAMPAGE's execution eschews the super-clean sharpness that thrash metal was largely heading toward in the post-Master of Puppets era. With form meeting content, the power-trio's songwriting similarly takes all sorts of labyrinthine paths short of being qualified as "tech," racing around and restarting with sometimes-maddening fury. Hooks thankfully abounded, and RAMPAGE's attack undeniably possessed a death metalled underbelly not unlike Dark Angel or aforementioned Oz cult icons Hobbs Angel of Death. With that songwriting often reaching a fever pitch of diabolism and all three members barely keeping that fury in check, Veil of Mourn becomes a palpitating experience, a veritable '80s horror movie turned into a thrash record. The creepy cover art only heightened this sensation.
As years passed, the aura around Veil of Mourn only grew, helped in part by Australia's ever-growing prominence in the extreme metal landscape. RAMPAGE thus became an etched-in-time "what could have been?" cult band, who respectably preserved their legacy with a mere album. Connect the dots to "the Australian sound" with this LONG-overdue reissue!

DVP 239 Hellish – The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with UNSPEAKABLE AXE RECORDS, is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Chile's HELLISH, The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents. DYING VICTIMS will handle the vinyl LP version while UNSPEAKABLE AXE will handle the CD version.
Since their formation in 2010, HELLISH have become a prolific force on the blackened thrash scene. With a discography to date totaling two albums, three EPs, four demos, a couple compilations, a split, and a single, this Chilean quartet have been nothing but dedicated to their evil cause over the past decade-plus. During that cursed year of 2020, longtime vocalist/bassist Necromancer departed the band, but in came Christopher Aravena as his replacement, and HELLISH sounded more invigorated than ever on last year's The Vermis Mysteriis EP.
With that bolstered lineup in place, HELLISH return to the full-length front with The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents. The title alone should speak toward the band's elevation above the cliché aspects of idiomatic blackthrash; while their grounding in the Teutonic "Big Four" of Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction has never been in question, HELLISH have always made subtle-yet-concerted strides to separate themselves from mere worship, and The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt. For one, the guitars of Francisco Sanhueza and Javier Salgado wind and wend with wild abandon, keeping the riff trajectory aggressive yet creative, twisting and turning with a diabolism that reaches a fever pitch with well-timed (and quite literally explosive) solos. For another, Aravena's bass goes in busier directions than just following the guitarists' riffing; hulking and upfront, his chops match those of the six-stringers, and guitarist-turned-drummer Christian León's tasteful touches on the kit flesh out that momentum with fury and finesse. Altogether, HELLISH give a masterclass in blackened thrash songwriting that's far more inventive and interesting than "blackthrash," and The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents becomes a surprisingly epic spin during its deceptive eight-song/33-minute runtime.
Dizzying and diabolical, HELLISH hereby raise the bar considerably with The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents.

DVP 245 Pursuer – Demo 2022 MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the debut demo of Poland's PURSUER, Demo 2022, on music cassette format.

Drawing influences from the international 80s speed metal scene the band races through four original tracks which are topped off by a high pitched vocalist that will haunt you for far longer than the actual running time.

DVP 230 Vigilance – Vigilance MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Slovenia's VIGILANCE, simply self-titled Vigilance, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Born from the cavernous depths of Adelsberg, Slovenia's VIGILANCE have been unleashing their own brand of heavy metal since Walpurgisnacht 2010. Inspired both by the harmonic arts of the original NWOBHM wave and the sepulchral elements of the first wave of black metal, VIGILANCE have steadily perfected their craft over the past decade-plus,possessing a unique crossover appeal to fans of early Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate as equally as Venom and Bathory.
However, after years of taking that throwback sound to countless stages across Europe, it was VIGILANCE's fourth album, Enter the Endless Abyss – released in 2019 by DYING VICTIMS to widespread acclaim – where the band had their breakout moment. Dark and dynamic but galloping gloriously with the eternal luminescence of HEAVY METAL might, Enter the Endless Abyss proved that VIGILANCE had truly nailed their subtly unique sound – and made it more compelling than ever.
And although some three years have passed since that pivotal record, VIGILANCE return with the same fire on the brand-new mini-album Vigilance. Across its five-song/26-minute duration, VIGILANCE's self-titled salvo goes in an ever-epic direction, maximizing that (memorable) sonic storytelling they so compactly revealed on its full-length predecessor. Everything's still head- and fistbangingly metal, arguably even more so here – the dual-guitar work is FIRE in the non-flashiest way – but there's equally a sense of fantastical AOR ala classic-era Rainbow as the record progresses, hitting a heavenly high with nearly-seven-minute closer "Orbis Mundi." And while VIGILANCE's execution has never been doubted, on Vigilance do they loosen up a bit and let these more mysterious odes wind and wend with a suitably earthier feel. Put another way, take one look at that gorgeous cover artwork and you KNOW what you're in for!
VIGILANCE have been aging like a fine wine, and have only grown more potent. Drink deeply of the concise cup that is Vigilance!

DVP 233 Bunker 66 / Lucifuge – Of Night And Lust MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Of Night and Lust, a special split mini-album between BUNKER 66 and Germany's LUCIFUGE, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Both BUNKER 66 and LUCIFUGE should be familiar names to those versed in the dark deeds of DYING VICTIMS: Just earlier this year, BUNKER 66 released through the label a split 7" with fellow Italian filth-bangers HELLCRASH, as well as their long-awaited (and rightly celebrated) fourth album, Beyond the Help of Prayers, earlier in 2021; for their part, LUCIFUGE released their equally celebrated fourth album, Infernal Power, through DYING VICTIMS during the spring of 2021. Here on Of Night and Lust, both bands each deliver three exclusive songs, making for 24 minutes of ancient speed metal sleaze and metalpunk ghoulishness.
BUNKER 66 are up first and show no signs of slowing down, especially so after 15 years as a band now. "Mellhammer" and "Sulphurous Lust" are exemplary displays of their greasy speed-metal surge, and yet subtly exude an eerie aspect that perhaps point the way forward for future recordings. Capping their entry is a faithful cover of Motörhead's "Doctor Rock," which both underlines BUNKER 66's roots as well as reverently paying respect to the fallen gods of Lemmy and Würzel. LUCIFUGE follow with an even-more-blackened iteration of their etched-in-stone metalpunk across the tracks "The Great Unseen" and "In Blood and Dust." They conclude with a surprising-yet-storming anthem fittingly titled "Warriors of the Night." While many metal anthems have been attempted under such a title, you've truly never heard one as invigorating as this – nor LUCIFUGE so bright and brassy!

DVP 234 Witch Blade – Månsken LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Sweden's WITCH BLADE, Månsken, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Kristinehamn, Sweden's WITCH BLADE were formed back in 2012 by Witchlover and Witchhunter. The two childhood friends had been playing together in other projects but wanted to form a band that honored their heavy metal heroes: namely Angel Witch, Tokyo Blade, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. After writing a couple of songs, the band became a three-piece when drummer Witchburner joined in early 2013. The same year, the band recorded their self-titled debut demo, which sold out quickly and was later re-released by Levitate Records, followed by a 7" single titled Fjärrans Krig in 2014. After working as a sound engineer on the single recording, Witchdoctor joined on second guitar just in time for the band's debut album, Oskuldernas Eld, released in 2015 by DYING VICTIMS.
WITCH BLADE made their live debut in 2015 as a supporting act for Black Trip. Since then, the band have made several live appearances around Sweden. Thereafter, a period of hibernation followed until 2021, when the band decided to continue again as a trio. The result is something of a rebirth: Månsken, WITCH BLADE's second album.
While the cover to Oskuldernas Eld certainly clued listeners in to its contents, the one for Månsken compellingly complements the album's contents in a most tasteful fashion. There's undoubtedly an olde-worlde, magickally musty flair to WITCH BLADE here – also keenly note the band's change in logos – their traditional heavy metal going back even further in time to the proto-metal era. Nothing overdriven, nothing too over-the-top, just hard rocking AND hot rockin' and an almost narrative moodiness to the songwriting whilst staying locked into classic verse/chorus/break structures, WITCH BLADE once again locate that wonderful (and elusive) balance between garage-born emotion and swords & sorcery stateliness. To a man, the riffs and leads of guitarists Witchlover and Witchdoctor (who also drums here) often impart a melancholy on par with Wishbone Ash's Argus or Thin Lizzy's Black Rose, while frontman/bassist Witchhunter sings his heart out in his native tongue, which only heightens the heart-on-sleeve pathos across Månsken. And just like its full-length predecessor, the eight-song Månsken is an extremely swift & satisfying spin at 33 minutes.
All those denim-clad diehards and cloak-wrapped warlocks into early (and moody) hard rock AND cult NWOBHM, you are hereby commanded to witness the rebirth of WITCH BLADE with Månsken!

DVP 235 Spectre / Tension – Hard Attacks / Earth Crisis 7"
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a new split release between Spectre and Tension, on 7" vinyl format.
Both heavy metal acts are no strangers to Dying Victims and its audience, as they have released two EPs as well as an EP and an album respectively. Spectre's side contains one straight rocking track "Hard Attacks" which was originally recorded in 2017 and only distributed handmade CD-R which was given away for free with orders from the band's own Heavy Chains Records store.
Tension's debut album came out in early 2022 and was, unfortunately, quickly followed by the band splitting up. Now, posthumously, the last track of the CD edition of the album, "Earth Crisis", gets its well-deserved vinyl treatment as it was left off the vinyl in order to reduce playing time and to preserve the best possible sound. Melancholic heavy metal at its best!

DVP 225 War Ripper – Strength In Numbers 7″
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present WAR RIPPER's long-awaited second EP, Strength in Numbers, on 7" vinyl format.
While the name might be unfamiliar to many, WAR RIPPER is a side-project of prolific madman Joel Grind, who needs no introduction for the long-running (and influential) Toxic Holocaust as well as his solo work and the Tiger Junkies with Abigail founder Yasuyuki. From the start, WAR RIPPER was built on the foundation of honoring Joel's D-beat influences, and he thrillingly recast with the strict-yet-exciting Hellstorm EP in 2007 courtesy of Hells Headbangers.
While the years since have obviously been spent on Toxic Holocaust and their rigorous recording and touring demands, Joel Grind brought back WAR RIPPER in the pandemic-stricken 2020 with the EP Strength in Numbers. Originally released on Bandcamp, Strength in Numbers at last sees a physical release on 7" vinyl courtesy of longtime fans DYING VICTIMS. Picking up exactly where Hellstorm left off but buttressed by clear-yet-crushing production, Strength in Numbers is a swift 'n' satisfying statement of metallic D-beat. No more but definitely no less, and of course graced with Grind's encyclopedic knowledge of both metal and punk, WAR RIPPER's long-awaited second recording is sure to stoke maniacs of Disfear, Warcollapse, England's Disgust, later Anti-Cimex, and granddaddies of it all, Discharge.

DVP 241 Freeroad – Do What You Feel! LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present FREEROAD's striking debut album, Do What You Feel!, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, FREEROAD formed in 2018 with only the goal of making music for the love of making music. The moniker FREEROAD was thus chosen to symbolize the idea that there's no boundaries in music; genres don't really matter, as long as they're keeping the essence of old-school rock 'n' roll. For FREEROAD, that essence is largely built up on the classic sounds of the '70s and '80s – be it UFO, Thin Lizzy, Yes, Rush, or Jeff Beck – as well as the early rocking sounds of the NWOBHM.
Armed with such a noble 'n' rustic foundation, FREEROAD proceed to make their bolt-from-the-blue first statement with Do What You Feel! Ever aptly titled, Do What You Feel! indeed finds the quartet ranging those aforementioned sounds and styles with almost alchemical ease. Heartfelt, honest, and homemade, FREEROAD's hot-rockin' harkens to an era where immediately immersive hooks, loose-yet-locked-in ensemble playing, and earthy dynamics were king. Thus, it's not disingenuous to suggest that there's a certain déjà vu here; you might've heard these songs before, in a nostalgic alternate reality or two removed, but they had yet to be written. Such is the wondrous and endearingly celebratory magick at work across Do What You Feel!, as each of these nine anthems-in-waiting work their spell: each one different than the last, but definitely all the work of the same band. Again, the album experience as one that's narrative in its variety – truly, FREEROAD are a band out of time.
Pleasures that are simple but utterly sublime, there's no over-thinking needed or fancy words necessary when approaching the gritty glory of FREEROAD. Just like its cover cheekily displays, you'll feel compelled to Do What You Feel!

DVP 242 Critical Defiance – No Life Forms LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present CRITICAL DEFIANCE's highly anticipated second album, No Life Forms, on vinyl LP format. Unspeakable Axe have done the CD version.
Hailing from the cult-metal hotbed of Chile, for nearly a decade now, CRITICAL DEFIANCE have been steadfast purveyors of authentically late '80s-style THRASH. Their 2019 debut album, Misconception, turned many a head, and now the time has come for CRITICAL DEFIANCE to turn heads completely around with their second album.
Ominously titled No Life Forms, CRITICAL DEFIANCE's second full-length sees the quintet firing on all cylinders – and heading into hyperdrive. Insanely tight in their razor-sharp execution, the Chileans here dish out extreme aggression nearly every second of this breathless, 30-minute work, with riffs flowing fast and free, and then going faster, faster, FASTER! Through it all, CRITICAL DEFIANCE's stop-on-a-dime chops prove jawdropping, and lest one misconstrue No Life Forms as a mere exercise in clinical precision, be aware that the band never forget thrash's primary power: full-on thrashing and The Mosh, moving seamlessly between the two and with catchiness to spare. All that's in full force here, and it cannot be overstated how insanely juiced-up their execution is. No speed limit!
Fans of vintage Vio-Lence, Atrophy, Whiplash, and Dark Angel, you've met your modern match with CRITICAL DEFIANCE's No Life Forms!

DVP 243 Trastorned – Into the Void LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TRASTORNED's highly anticipated debut album, Into the Void, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Santiago, Chile, TRASTORNED formed in 2008 with the simple goal of being a local thrash band. Led by guitarist Fabian Piña and vocalist Felipe Lonza, the band became more serious the next year and recorded their debut demo, Decapitacion. More lineup shuffles ensued, but second demo Killer Thrash arrived in 2010. Four years would pass before TRASTORNED recorded another demo, but this time, with Witching Demo!, they revamped their sound and sharpened their attack, going from more blackened thrash to a cleaner and more complex style of thrash not unlike Vio-lence, Forbidden and Exodus around the turn of the '90s.
TRASTORNED began working on the initial recording of their debut album as early as 2019, but eventually moved proceedings to a different studio. And while Covid no doubt stalled those proceedings, at last is TRASTORNED's debut album here: Into the Void. Bearing luridly Lovecraftian artwork by Marcelo Miranda aka Made In Darkness, Into the Void suitably disorients and demolishes the senses with dizzying ease. Truly, TRASTORNED here sound transported from 1990, from songwriting to production, slicing and surging with stop-start precision and an acidic execution as aggravated as prime Demolition Hammer and Morbid Saint. However era-authentic their sound may be, the quintet nevertheless possess THE SONGS to put this handily within that hallowed pantheon, each track taking mind-mangling routes but ones not without hooks; the catalog of riffs here on Into the Void is staggering, and they're all threaded together masterfully. More than that, TRASTORNED's chops are superlative and always put in service of the song, and the razor-sharp production only amplifies this electrifying fact.
Eight songs in 30 minutes and your heart will race like it rarely does these days: TRASTORNED will take you Into the Void, and FAST!

DVP 252 Running Maiden – s/t MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RUNNING MAIDEN's self-titled debut ep, on music cassette format.
Hailing from Switzerland, a quarantine one-woman project at first, Running Maiden quickly turned into a three-piece, totally devoted to classic heavy metal from the 80s. Drawing lyrical inspiration from legends of old and occultism, the band pays tribute to some of their main influences among the likes of Acid and Iron Maiden. This debut ep contains four well written and executed heavy metal anthems – it's time to enter the Bazaar of Evil!

DVP 230 Vigilance – Vigilance MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Slovenia's VIGILANCE, simply self-titled Vigilance, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Born from the cavernous depths of Adelsberg, Slovenia's VIGILANCE have been unleashing their own brand of heavy metal since Walpurgisnacht 2010. Inspired both by the harmonic arts of the original NWOBHM wave and the sepulchral elements of the first wave of black metal, VIGILANCE have steadily perfected their craft over the past decade-plus,possessing a unique crossover appeal to fans of early Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate as equally as Venom and Bathory.
However, after years of taking that throwback sound to countless stages across Europe, it was VIGILANCE's fourth album, Enter the Endless Abyss – released in 2019 by DYING VICTIMS to widespread acclaim – where the band had their breakout moment. Dark and dynamic but galloping gloriously with the eternal luminescence of HEAVY METAL might, Enter the Endless Abyss proved that VIGILANCE had truly nailed their subtly unique sound – and made it more compelling than ever.
And although some three years have passed since that pivotal record, VIGILANCE return with the same fire on the brand-new mini-album Vigilance. Across its five-song/26-minute duration, VIGILANCE's self-titled salvo goes in an ever-epic direction, maximizing that (memorable) sonic storytelling they so compactly revealed on its full-length predecessor. Everything's still head- and fistbangingly metal, arguably even more so here – the dual-guitar work is FIRE in the non-flashiest way – but there's equally a sense of fantastical AOR ala classic-era Rainbow as the record progresses, hitting a heavenly high with nearly-seven-minute closer "Orbis Mundi." And while VIGILANCE's execution has never been doubted, on Vigilance do they loosen up a bit and let these more mysterious odes wind and wend with a suitably earthier feel. Put another way, take one look at that gorgeous cover artwork and you KNOW what you're in for!
VIGILANCE have been aging like a fine wine, and have only grown more potent. Drink deeply of the concise cup that is Vigilance!

DVP 236 Risingfall – Rise or Fall LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Japan's RISINGFALL, Rise or Fall, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Based in Tokyo, Japan's RISINGFALL formed in 2014. From the beginning, the band's foundation has been power-leaning heavy metal with an emphasis on vocal melodies. Stirred into their magickal cauldron are strong doses of NWOBHM, hard rock, and US power metal from the olden days.
RISINGFALL made their recorded debut in 2017 with the Prologue demo. That same year, the Tokyo Metal Fire live EP and "Far Britannia" were both released on Bandcamp. In 2018 came the Cry for the Steel EP, and a year the Arise from the Ashes (蘇る灰) EP. In 2020, at last would all these short-lengths be compiled onto CD format. And while a number of lineup changes occurred, but by 2019 did RISINGFALL finalize the lineup of founding guitarists Yoshiki and Kono, bassist Gyokusai Ishii, drummer Yuki, and erstwhile Military Shadow vocalist George Itoh. While performing live, work begins on the first RISINGFALL album.
At last, it is here, bearing the title Rise or Fall, but it comes not without tragedy: while recording was completed in spring 2021, Yoshiki was hospitalized after suffering from a chronic illness; later, in February 2022, he passes away. Thus, Rise or Fall is a tribute to this fiery six-stringer, and what a monument he leaves behind. Bristling with an energy that draws together the various likes of Saxon, Rainbow, Savage Grace, and especially Vicious Rumors and Michael Jackson-era Satan, RISINGFALL exude high drama and dazzling dynamics steeped in the rich tradition of hard rock and early heavy metal of the '70s bursting into the next decade with boundless possibilities. The scythe-sharp production makes Rise or Fall feel tastefully modern, but the band's highly refined set of influences all gel together into something timeless. Plus, the variety of songcraft across these eight tracks makes each one a stunner on its own while rendering Rise or Fall an album-length experience: each one is undeniably RISINGFALL, but they truly can do it all.
Due to the wishes of Yoshiki and his family, RISINGFALL will continue to perform, and Oyatata from the thrash band Mud Tiger has joined as second guitarist. Rest in power, Yoshiki: Rise or Fall will echo your metalized memory for time eternal!

DVP 237 Witchunter – Metal Dream LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Italy's WITCHUNTER, Metal Dream, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Founded in 2007, Italy's WITCHUNTER began as the manifestation of true heavy metal obsession. Foremost among those metallic obsessions were the NWOBHM, '80s European heavy metal and speed metal, and especially '70s hard rock sounds and attitude. It all coalesced together into a paradoxically refreshing time-warp where traditional metal in the vein of Angel Witch, Jaguar, Tygers of Pan Tang, and Saxon get the subtlest of twists, not to mention some evil mixing in a manner most Mercyful Fate and Black Sabbath. A true purist's band, then, but not one that's just lazy pastiche: WITCHUNTER are the real deal, from the beginning to now!
And now, since long years after their last LP, WITCHUNTER return hungrier than ever! Metal Dream is the name of that long-awaited comeback, and a more simple-yet-sublime title you will not find. Gleaming with a chrome-encased production that's pure '80s valor, WITCHUNTER's latest spans all the band's previous styles – dramatic speed metal overdrive, leather-and-chains strut, balls-to-the-wall headbangers – but the pure passion and charisma in which they deliver these nine primary tracks, the seamless expression of HEAVY METAL in ALL its glories, makes Metal Dream astounding to behold. Hooks, solos, aggression, dynamics, high notes, manliness, variety, everything heading out to the highway, and even some tasteful nods to Tony Martin-era Sabbath: it's a veritable jukebox of '82-'87, if we're being specific, although it's all palatably modern just the same. WITCHUNTER truly LIVE this, and it comes through loud 'n' proud in their songwriting.
If your metal heart beats purer than steel, awaken to WITCHUNTER's Metal Dream!

DVP 240 Deathstorm – Swarming MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a new three-track demo by Deathstorm, on music cassette format.
Two years after their punishing fourth album "For Dread Shall Reign", the Austrian three-piece is back with "Swarming", a new demo. After 15 years of high-quality thrashing in an ever-steady line-up (the band underwent a name change from "Damage" to "Deathstorm" though), the band knows exactly what they are capable of and what kind of sound their creations need. These two originals plus an additional (highly unusual) cover track are the result of their self-recording aspirations – and the sound turned out perfect for this uncompromising death thrash massacre!

Drawing influences from the international 80s speed metal scene the band races through four original tracks which are topped off by a high pitched vocalist that will haunt you for far longer than the actual running time.

DVP 244 Megaton Sword – Might & Power LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEGATON SWORD's highly anticipated second album, Might & Power, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Since their auspicious birth in 2018, there's been no stopping Switzerland's MEGATON SWORD. As if their very moniker was a prescient stroke of genius – or, rather, a self-fulfilling prophecy – the once-quartet arrived fully formed with their glorious debut EP, Niralet, in 2019 via DYING VICTIMS. Here, virtually without warning, they evinced an ages-old sound that was wise (and wizened) well beyond their young years. Already, MEGATON SWORD knew the mystery of steel...and wielded it with a startling confidence. Which made their debut album the next year, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, all the more shocking: MEGATON SWORD somehow revealed new twists to that mystery of steel, and further evinced a charisma that was star-power writ large. Again released by DYING VICTIMS, it was no shock that Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire was hailed far and wide. And yet still, it seemed MEGATON SWORD were only getting started...
And they're not finished – not by a long shot – as testified by their second album, Might & Power. Almost absurdly titled in its elegant simplicity, Might & Power might seem on the surface a reiteration of their true-as-steel HEAVY METAL, and to a large degree, that's correct – MEGATON SWORD are still drunk on high fantasy and the enduring themes of conquest and valor, triumph and tragedy – but the deceptively expansive album sees the now-quintet stretching their sturdy sound in directions more dynamic and extreme. When was the last time you heard actual blastbeats on a true-metal album? Well, you'll certainly find 'em here on Might & Power and probably not bat an eyelash, for MEGATON SWORD wield all their weapons effortlessly. What about '70s singer-songwriter melodrama, plaintive piano and all? Same here: while far more subtle, the integration of softer, rock-oriented textures makes their metal all the more enduring – and exciting. For if there's one guiding theme that earmarks Might & Power as MEGATON SWORD's arguably greatest recording, it's that the drama is windswept but undeniably human, in all its myriad hues; this may be heavy metal after all, but it's not "only heavy metal." Put another way, MEGATON SWORD so deeply understand that mystery of steel that they know when to sheath their (sonic) swords and offer a weathered hand, gently raising up their fallen comrades. Much credit goes to vocalist Uzzy Unchained, whose pipes poignantly narrate this evocative shift.
With no hyperbole intended, MEGATON SWORD are no longer on the march. They have truly reached the halls of greatness with Might & Power. Hearing is believing, but it just might bring you to tears.

DVP 246 Iron Curtain – Metal Gladiator EP MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from IRON CURTAIN, Metal Gladiator, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
For over 15 years now, Spanish metal inquisition IRON CURTAIN have been stalwart defenders of the faith. With a discography that includes four full-lengths and twice as many EPs, splits, and demos, IRON CURTAIN's ever-sturdy sound was forged in the fires of the early '80s: largely nodding to the eternal Motörhead as well as Tank, but also Canadian gods like Exciter and Razor, to the Teutonic might of early Iron Angel and Grave Digger, to Scandinavian gods OZ and Heavy Load, to cult American icons Abattoir and Savage Grace. And with the DYING VICTIMS release of career highpoint Danger Zone in 2019, that sound's become even more rocking than ever.
And IRON CURTAIN continue that trajectory with a quick-hitting and absolutely electric mini-album titled Metal Gladiator. A smorgasboard of old & new and special all the same, Metal Gladiator includes three new and exclusive tracks – "Crossing the Acheron," "Burn in Hell," and the title track "Metal Gladiator" – recorded at their own Gorgon Studios during the latter half of 2021, displaying perhaps their most perfect balance of grit and gleam...total anthems! Then there are three older songs that include special lead-guitar friends: "Rough Riders"with Noboru Jero Sakuma (Gorgon, Abigail, Metalucifer), "Stormbound"with Blumi (Metal Inquisitor, Midnight Rider), and "The Running Man" with Harry Granroth (RAM). And lastly is the brand-new song "Rattlesnake," which will be on IRON CURTAIN's forthcoming fifth full-length. Altogether, Metal Gladiator is a new start for the band and resounding reassurance for IRON CULT's true-metal dominance during their third decade of existence!

DVP-R 010 Buzzard – Gambler LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a long-overdue reissue of the lone cult album of Belgium's BUZZARD, Gambler, on vinyl LP and CD formats. The CD version also includes the band's 1983 demo, A Strange Gang, as bonus tracks.
Hailing from Menen, West Flanders, Belgium's BUZZARD initially began as early as 1979 when vocalist Hans Berten (Hanzie) and drummer Dirk Vanhee decided to start a band together. A search for a guitarist and bassist began in earnest, with guitarist Steve Deceuninck and Nick Debeuf (Riff) both joining midway through 1980. Since a bassist was not immediately found, Hans decided to take on bass guitar as well as vocals. The moniker BUZZARD was then chosen, as inspiration was drawn from the band Armageddon, whose 1975 album of the same name featured the song "Buzzard," which Steve had learned to play on guitar. The band's first gig took place in February 1981.
Lineup shuffles ensued, but BUZZARD eventually recorded the demo A Strange Gang in 1983, the only official demo they'd record. Their live reputation grew in kind, and the band came to the attention of Antler Records, who signed BUZZARD for a two-album deal. Perhaps not surprisingly, more lineup shuffles ensued two months before recording their debut album and even continued during its recording, but what a record they delivered.
Titled Gambler, BUZZARD's first – and sadly, only – album is a poignant snapshot of heavy metal in 1984. Reprising three re-recorded songs from the preceding demo, Gambler bursts and bristles with a youthful energy that's almost naïve, but endearingly and charmingly so. For BUZZARD were simply a HEAVY METAL band – not strictly speed metal, although they had their share of juiced-up rockers, nor did they have the pout & strut of so much hard rock-leaning metal of the time, and they definitely weren't thrash, still very much in its nascent days – and one that nodded to both England and Germany, but never too often nor for too long. The album's first two tracks perhaps spell it out best: "Stone-Hard and Loud" and "We Are Heavy Rockers," as perfect of an opening combo as there is for the time. And the rest of the record is absolutely spellbinding in its verve and vivacity, with the recording just on the right side of rough.
Gambler was released at the end of October 1984, and the following week, disaster struck again: Steve was involved in a motorcycle accident and was in a coma for a week and a half, requiring three months of rehabilitation. When Steve was fit again, many gigs followed, including some concerts in France and in the Netherlands. Work then began on the second BUZZARD album, and although the writing process was progressing well and the record was already written, the band found that the fire was actually quietly dying out because of other interests, relationships etc. Thus, in February 1986, the band decided to pull the plug on BUZZARD.
Now, 38 years later, Gambler will see a well-deserved reissue – and, for the first time ever, on CD as well as vinyl. A BUZZARD reunion is out of the question because Steve has traded in his guitar for a drum kit over the years and also out of respect for Stephan Logie (Elly), who sadly left us in 2018. The former members still see each other regularly at local parties where old memories are made between pot and pint. BUZZARD created a band for life!

DVP 247 Iron Kobra / Atom Smasher – Malicious Magician / The Law 7″
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a split 7" EP between IRON KOBRA and ATOM SMASHER.
IRON KOBRA should be a familiar name to those who follow DYING VICTIMS, as the Germans have become something of a "flagship band" for the label after their two full-lengths, 2012's Dungeon Masters and 2015's Might & Magic. And just as those two albums' titles (and covers!) display, IRON KOBRA are true-as-steel HEAVY METAL time-locked in 1984! And while it's been quite quiet on the recorded front since that second full-length (except for the 2017 "Kerker & Drachen" 7"), the bikers from Hell return with a brand-new track here, "Malicious Magician," that's a glorious return to form – and shows they're ready for a gleaming-black new chapter, swords strapped to their iron steeds. On the flip is fellow Germans ATOM SMASHER: despite forming in 2010, it wasn't until a decade later when they delivered their first EP. And while a four-way split followed the next year, the duo's spare discography suggests quality over quantity – and that's what you get with their track here, "The Law," which is a moody & mysterious epic of equally archaic metal. Bright days ahead for ATOM SMASHER, and DYING VICTIMS is stoked to get their name out there with the ever-reliable IRON KOBRA.

Dying Victims Productions is proud to announce the following new releases:
(https://www.dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/20221215_181648-773x1024.jpg)
DVP-R 008 Sortilège – Larmes de heros Box/LP/CDRELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a long-overdue vinyl reissue of the classic second album of France's SORTILÈGE, Larmes de héros.
A cult fixture in the '80s French heavy metal scene that retroactively grew in legendry, SORTILÈGE defined a unique national style that had equal footing in the NWOBHM, contemporaneous hard rock, and nascent epic metal. Formed in 1981 and releasing a demo and EP over the new two years, it was SORTILÈGE's 1984 debut album, Métamorphose – also concurrently released in an English-language version as Metamorphosis – that truly introduced the band to worldwide audiences with a wild 'n' weird iteration of heavy metal. While that English version made their unique style more palatable (helped in no small part by its release on Steamhammer), it's arguably the French-language version that defined the SORTILÈGE sound. And so it went with its superior follow-up.
Again released in both French- and English-language versions, SORTILÈGE's second album is a tour de force of true-metal passion and performance, mysticism and might. Blithely summarized as French romantic twist on Judas Priest's transition from the '70s to the '80s – or, rather, spanning Sin After Sin to Defenders of the Faith – the original Larmes de héros was released in that golden year of 1986, harkening to a fantastical place far, far away where hot rockers bloomed into heroic-yet-tragic epics. The English version of Hero's Tears plainly spells out the path ahead, but the dramatic (and oft-melancholic) vocals of Christian Augustin in his native language truly chill/sizzle the soul: a veritable French Metal God. Not to be outdone, his bandmates create a canvas at once anthemic and narrative; pacing is crucial across Larmes de héros, as more direct power-surges flank the album's utterly immersive epic songs. And at nine songs across 46 minutes, you feel like you've undertaken a hero's journey – but one not without a monumental amount of headbanging.
Tragically and too fittingly, Larmes de héros would be SORTILÈGE's final studio album. A number of re-formations would happen over the next couple decades and then fizzle out, but the true SORTILÈGE died with Larmes de héros. Wipe away those hero's tears, though, for RELICS FROM THE CRYPT at long last resurrects this stone-cold classic for posterity!

DVP-R 009 Rampage – Veil of Mourn LP/CDRELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a long-overdue vinyl reissue of the cult lone album of Australia's RAMPAGE, Veil of Mourn, along with a CD edition with both demos as bonus.
While there have been many Rampages past and present, there was only one RAMPAGE from Australia – and a more cult band you will not find. Formed in 1985, the band went through several lineup changes before recording their debut demo, Acid Storm, in July 1986. Recorded on a home 4-track, the demo sold well in their native Melbourne but failed to gain any interest. More lineup changes followed the next year, with a pre-production demo recorded as a prelude to their album, but once again, RAMPAGE failed to generate any record company interest. Then, in late 1987, the band recorded, produced, and financed their debut album, Veil of Mourn, which was more-or-less self-released in early 1988. Extensive touring across Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra, and Brisbane followed. Likewise, excellent record sales locally and overseas followed, but no interest from international record companies came. In May 1988, vocalist/guitarist George Mitrov rang bassist Dave Frew and advised that he had found God and would no longer have anything to do with the band; cancellation of all gigs followed. Then, later that year, Dave Frew (who had formed TYRUS with Peter Hobbs) and drummer Bruno Canzianni join Hobbs Angel of Death, and RAMPAGE effectively came to an end.
However, as a lone document of a band and era, RAMPAGE's Veil of Mourn is superlative in every sense. There's a distinct ruggedness to the band's ceaselessly shifting style of thrash. Mind you, NOT necessarily "rawness" – although the album's production certainly tends toward the rough – but RAMPAGE's execution eschews the super-clean sharpness that thrash metal was largely heading toward in the post-Master of Puppets era. With form meeting content, the power-trio's songwriting similarly takes all sorts of labyrinthine paths short of being qualified as "tech," racing around and restarting with sometimes-maddening fury. Hooks thankfully abounded, and RAMPAGE's attack undeniably possessed a death metalled underbelly not unlike Dark Angel or aforementioned Oz cult icons Hobbs Angel of Death. With that songwriting often reaching a fever pitch of diabolism and all three members barely keeping that fury in check, Veil of Mourn becomes a palpitating experience, a veritable '80s horror movie turned into a thrash record. The creepy cover art only heightened this sensation.
As years passed, the aura around Veil of Mourn only grew, helped in part by Australia's ever-growing prominence in the extreme metal landscape. RAMPAGE thus became an etched-in-time "what could have been?" cult band, who respectably preserved their legacy with a mere album. Connect the dots to "the Australian sound" with this LONG-overdue reissue!

DVP 239 Hellish – The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents LPDYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with UNSPEAKABLE AXE RECORDS, is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Chile's HELLISH, The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents. DYING VICTIMS will handle the vinyl LP version while UNSPEAKABLE AXE will handle the CD version.
Since their formation in 2010, HELLISH have become a prolific force on the blackened thrash scene. With a discography to date totaling two albums, three EPs, four demos, a couple compilations, a split, and a single, this Chilean quartet have been nothing but dedicated to their evil cause over the past decade-plus. During that cursed year of 2020, longtime vocalist/bassist Necromancer departed the band, but in came Christopher Aravena as his replacement, and HELLISH sounded more invigorated than ever on last year's The Vermis Mysteriis EP.
With that bolstered lineup in place, HELLISH return to the full-length front with The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents. The title alone should speak toward the band's elevation above the cliché aspects of idiomatic blackthrash; while their grounding in the Teutonic "Big Four" of Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction has never been in question, HELLISH have always made subtle-yet-concerted strides to separate themselves from mere worship, and The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt. For one, the guitars of Francisco Sanhueza and Javier Salgado wind and wend with wild abandon, keeping the riff trajectory aggressive yet creative, twisting and turning with a diabolism that reaches a fever pitch with well-timed (and quite literally explosive) solos. For another, Aravena's bass goes in busier directions than just following the guitarists' riffing; hulking and upfront, his chops match those of the six-stringers, and guitarist-turned-drummer Christian León's tasteful touches on the kit flesh out that momentum with fury and finesse. Altogether, HELLISH give a masterclass in blackened thrash songwriting that's far more inventive and interesting than "blackthrash," and The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents becomes a surprisingly epic spin during its deceptive eight-song/33-minute runtime.
Dizzying and diabolical, HELLISH hereby raise the bar considerably with The Dance of the Four Elemental Serpents.

DVP 248 Firmament – s/t LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Germany's FIRMAMENT, We Don't Rise, We Just Fall, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Leipzig, Germany's FIRMAMENT are a new heavy rock quintet begun in early 2021 by ex-members of TENSION, Prisma, and Wayward. Despite three of the members having done time in TENSION – who released their critically acclaimed debut album, Tension, via DYING VICTIMS last year – the goal for FIRMAMENT from the start was to write moving and thus catchy hard rock songs that get stuck in your head immediately as well as stylistically/spiritually returning to an era before traditional heavy metal even existed. So, while it's tempting to superficially think FIRMAMENT are an extension of where TENSION left off, the truth is that FIRMAMENT are indeed their own "firmament."
FIRMAMENT's first recording together was a two-song single, "The Void / Losing You," which they recorded live in their rehearsal room. The single was first released digitally during the autumn of 2021, and then was released as a super-limited homemade tape sold exclusively at gigs. With such heartfelt and truly homemade passion, during March 2022 did FIRMAMENT enter the studio to record their debut album. Poignantly titled We Don't Rise, We Just Fall, FIRMAMENT's first full-length sees the five-piece steering the same ship – the unapologetically old-school vibes of the '70s and '80s and transferring them to the current time, without being stuck in specific genre boxes – but doing so more masterfully than before. Like those throwback eras (and particularly during the '70s), equal emphasis is placed on performance and songwriting, each one informing the other, resulting in an album-long experience where each of these nine songs retains its own identity and personality but come together to create a unified-yet-unique headspace. Just witness the deftly dynamic and era-authentic never-overdriven guitar work, where Tom Michalik and Philipp Meyer weave heartrending twin-guitar melodies; underneath that but actually taking center stage is the propulsive-yet-melodic bass work of Stefan Deutsch, which hooks just as effortlessly as those of his six-string partners. Of course, classic hard rock and proto-metal often lives or dies on the strength of its vocals, and in this department are FIRMAMENT no slouch: delivering his last performance with the band, frontman Maik Huber incites goosebumps with emotive, melancholic lines that sound as old as time and further add an air of mystery to We Don't Rise, We Just Fall.
While FIRMAMENT are currently working on fresh material with new vocalist Marco Herrmann, We Don't Rise, We Just Fall stands as a citadel of archaic melancholy – towering in its aura, yet approachable across its moss-covered landscape. Maniacs for '70s Scorpions, Blue Öyster Cult, Wishbone Ash, and Thin Lizzy, lay down your sword and stand before FIRMAMENT!

DVP 249 Hellcrash – Demonic Assassinatiön LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HELLCRASH's highly anticipated second album, Demonic Assassination, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Despite forming in 2013 and a couple demos and a split over those first few years, it wasn't until HELLCRASH's debut album, Krvcifix Invertör, where the band started to make a dark name for itself. Released on vinyl by DYING VICTIMS in 2021, Krvcifix Invertör proved HELLCRASH were a power-trio in the grand tradition of domestic legends Bulldozer, brewing a similarly sleazy (and EVIL) style of speed metal. Simple but sublime it was, and diehards definitely took notice.
Now, two years later, arrives HELLCRASH's second album, Demonic Assassination. On first glance (and especially THAT COVER), it would seem that HELLCRASH are sticking to their guns, sowing the same seeds as earliest Slayer, Venom, and of course Bulldozer. Peer deeper and this latest expurse of sodomy shows that there's more – much more – to HELLCRASH's cauldron. Immediately, their attack's more refined here: some would call it "cleaning up," but the fine-tuning of songcraft and polishing of production have paid off in spades across Demonic Assassination. As such, there's far more variation in that songcraft – sometimes more speed metal, other times more thrash, or even metalpunk before it was such a thing, often all in the same song – and HELLCRASH ably finesse this transition with tighter execution that, thankfully, doesn't sacrifice an ounce of energy. In fact, if there's on guiding aspect here, it's energy: while HELLCRASH sometimes seem on the verge of self-combustion, so juiced-up is their rollercoaster sound, it all spills over into the listener as a celebration of filth, fury, and FUN. Could this be their The Final Separation? Perhaps...
Still sick, still sleazy, and definitely still crude & rude, HELLCRASH are firing on ALL cylinders here, and not just the old ones. So, while the aforementioned references still apply, Demonic Assassination is equally recommended for maniacs of later GBH, Carnivore, Warfare, Crumbsuckers, and contemporaries Children of Technology.

DVP 251 Animalize – Tapes from the Crypt MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a reissue of the explosive debut mini-album of France's ANIMALIZE, Tapes From the Crypt, on CD, and 12" vinyl formats.
Since 2018, France's ANIMALIZE keep playing the kind of music that you (or your parents) may have been listening to 40 years ago. You know that "Heavy Metal" sound that appeared at a time when none of the band members was born. Well, they're still doing it.
However, it is the band's love of movies which arguably influence ANIMALIZE's outlook the most and make the difference. For them, a visual identity and atmosphere – whether in their visual aesthetic, be it artwork or onstage, or especially their eventual videos – are of the utmost importance. Film also feeds their lyrics, quite often. The band states that such movies as Evil Dead, Mad Max, Pet Sematary, Masters of the Universe, and Terminator are among their most beloved.
While they would bring both to Technicolor climax with their debut album for DYING VICTIMS, Meat We Are Made Of, during the summer of 2022, ANIMALIZE nevertheless came out with all guns blazing two years prior on the preceding mini-album Tapes From the Crypt. With an eye-grabbing (and era-authentic) cover setting the stage, the originally-limited Tapes From the Crypt managed to make ANIMALIZE's strengths plain and POWERFUL: cruising speed metal glory crossing swords with radio-ready traditional metal of a most mid-'80s vintage. This is the sound of ANIMALIZE at their most straightforward– and, arguably, most accessible – for the proceeding debut full-length found them upping the vocal layering and especially the complexity considerably, but the gleam & glory of Tapes From the Crypt is undeniable, and undeniably fun. A snapshot of a still-boundless band finding their wings, now finally reissued: the saga of ANIMALIZE begins here!

DVP 241 Freeroad – Do What You Feel! LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present FREEROAD's striking debut album, Do What You Feel!, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, FREEROAD formed in 2018 with only the goal of making music for the love of making music. The moniker FREEROAD was thus chosen to symbolize the idea that there's no boundaries in music; genres don't really matter, as long as they're keeping the essence of old-school rock 'n' roll. For FREEROAD, that essence is largely built up on the classic sounds of the '70s and '80s – be it UFO, Thin Lizzy, Yes, Rush, or Jeff Beck – as well as the early rocking sounds of the NWOBHM.
Armed with such a noble 'n' rustic foundation, FREEROAD proceed to make their bolt-from-the-blue first statement with Do What You Feel! Ever aptly titled, Do What You Feel! indeed finds the quartet ranging those aforementioned sounds and styles with almost alchemical ease. Heartfelt, honest, and homemade, FREEROAD's hot-rockin' harkens to an era where immediately immersive hooks, loose-yet-locked-in ensemble playing, and earthy dynamics were king. Thus, it's not disingenuous to suggest that there's a certain déjà vu here; you might've heard these songs before, in a nostalgic alternate reality or two removed, but they had yet to be written. Such is the wondrous and endearingly celebratory magick at work across Do What You Feel!, as each of these nine anthems-in-waiting work their spell: each one different than the last, but definitely all the work of the same band. Again, the album experience as one that's narrative in its variety – truly, FREEROAD are a band out of time.
Pleasures that are simple but utterly sublime, there's no over-thinking needed or fancy words necessary when approaching the gritty glory of FREEROAD. Just like its cover cheekily displays, you'll feel compelled to Do What You Feel!

DVP 242 Critical Defiance – No Life Forms LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present CRITICAL DEFIANCE's highly anticipated second album, No Life Forms, on vinyl LP format. Unspeakable Axe have done the CD version.
Hailing from the cult-metal hotbed of Chile, for nearly a decade now, CRITICAL DEFIANCE have been steadfast purveyors of authentically late '80s-style THRASH. Their 2019 debut album, Misconception, turned many a head, and now the time has come for CRITICAL DEFIANCE to turn heads completely around with their second album.
Ominously titled No Life Forms, CRITICAL DEFIANCE's second full-length sees the quintet firing on all cylinders – and heading into hyperdrive. Insanely tight in their razor-sharp execution, the Chileans here dish out extreme aggression nearly every second of this breathless, 30-minute work, with riffs flowing fast and free, and then going faster, faster, FASTER! Through it all, CRITICAL DEFIANCE's stop-on-a-dime chops prove jawdropping, and lest one misconstrue No Life Forms as a mere exercise in clinical precision, be aware that the band never forget thrash's primary power: full-on thrashing and The Mosh, moving seamlessly between the two and with catchiness to spare. All that's in full force here, and it cannot be overstated how insanely juiced-up their execution is. No speed limit!
Fans of vintage Vio-Lence, Atrophy, Whiplash, and Dark Angel, you've met your modern match with CRITICAL DEFIANCE's No Life Forms!

DVP 243 Trastorned – Into the Void LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TRASTORNED's highly anticipated debut album, Into the Void, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Santiago, Chile, TRASTORNED formed in 2008 with the simple goal of being a local thrash band. Led by guitarist Fabian Piña and vocalist Felipe Lonza, the band became more serious the next year and recorded their debut demo, Decapitacion. More lineup shuffles ensued, but second demo Killer Thrash arrived in 2010. Four years would pass before TRASTORNED recorded another demo, but this time, with Witching Demo!, they revamped their sound and sharpened their attack, going from more blackened thrash to a cleaner and more complex style of thrash not unlike Vio-lence, Forbidden and Exodus around the turn of the '90s.
TRASTORNED began working on the initial recording of their debut album as early as 2019, but eventually moved proceedings to a different studio. And while Covid no doubt stalled those proceedings, at last is TRASTORNED's debut album here: Into the Void. Bearing luridly Lovecraftian artwork by Marcelo Miranda aka Made In Darkness, Into the Void suitably disorients and demolishes the senses with dizzying ease. Truly, TRASTORNED here sound transported from 1990, from songwriting to production, slicing and surging with stop-start precision and an acidic execution as aggravated as prime Demolition Hammer and Morbid Saint. However era-authentic their sound may be, the quintet nevertheless possess THE SONGS to put this handily within that hallowed pantheon, each track taking mind-mangling routes but ones not without hooks; the catalog of riffs here on Into the Void is staggering, and they're all threaded together masterfully. More than that, TRASTORNED's chops are superlative and always put in service of the song, and the razor-sharp production only amplifies this electrifying fact.
Eight songs in 30 minutes and your heart will race like it rarely does these days: TRASTORNED will take you Into the Void, and FAST!

DVP 252 Running Maiden – s/t MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RUNNING MAIDEN's self-titled debut ep, on music cassette format.
Hailing from Switzerland, a quarantine one-woman project at first, Running Maiden quickly turned into a three-piece, totally devoted to classic heavy metal from the 80s. Drawing lyrical inspiration from legends of old and occultism, the band pays tribute to some of their main influences among the likes of Acid and Iron Maiden. This debut ep contains four well written and executed heavy metal anthems – it's time to enter the Bazaar of Evil!

DVP 250 EMISSARY – s/t LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut mini-album of Finland's EMISSARY, self-titled Emissary, on cd and 12" vinyl format.
The planetary grid is riddled with unsteady and weak sonic occurrences, leaving a gap in the terrestrial soundscape. A planet-side distress signal originates from the northern hemisphere. Three trackers have joined forces in a mission to seal the aperture for good.
They are known as EMISSARY.
The tale of Finland's EMISSARY began in October 2019, just moments before a Cirith Ungol gig in Helsinki. Dimi (Ranger) and Iiro's idea of a band, which had already been around for years, got the fire it needed when they were chatting before the show with an old acquaintance, Joel (ex-Chevalier), and it turned out that his conceptions and ideas about music matched perfectly with the duo. Already at the first jam session, everything fell into place, and the trio focused immediately on writing their own songs. A shared vision crystallized week by week as sci-fi and fantasy fueled the ideas for the material. Even in the very beginning, the unrelenting power of old-school US power metal and the challenging structures of prog rock were the centerpieces of the music.
The epidemic slowed down the trio's activities in spring 2020, but EMISSARY continued to actively rehearse whenever possible. In less than a year's time after founding, the band began to record their debut five-track mini-album in cooperation with producer/engineer Anselmi Ahopalo.
Using precise state-of-the-art tech and stalwart sonic equipment from eras bygone, they have devised heavier-than-sun frequencies that would secure the breach and they would devote themselves as the Guardians of the Seal.
Indeed, EMISSARYs list of influences is vast and idiosyncratic. From the cult likes of Helstar, Sacred Blade, Camel, Virgin Steele, and Chastain to the big likes of Iron Maiden, Rush, Black Sabbath, Mercyful Fate, and Yes to films like Conan the Barbarian, Blade Runner, the first two Predator movies, the Star Trek franchise, and many, MANY more, EMISSARY's pool of textures and sensations is nigh overwhelming, if not for the bravado in which they pursue their own sound and the resultant compositional mastery they so freely flex across Emissary. Truly, the record's five primary songs – the aptly titled "Galactic Overture" sets the stage as an intro – burst and bristle with so many dazzling shapes, it's almost an afterthought that the power-trio make these sonic sci-fi castles catchy. So, chops for days and also hooks just as long, EMISSARY here deliver a half-hour of infinite possibilities in what's bound to be a classically brazen first statement – and now, under the auspices of DYING VICTIMS.
Stand by to receive auricular surge of earth-shattering heavy metal.

DVP 253 LUCIFUGE – Monoliths of Wrath LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fifth album of Germany's LUCIFUGE, Monoliths of Wrath, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2016, Germany's have been steadily perfect an addicting style of blackened speed metalpunk, all guided by the iron fist of mainman Equinox. Come 2021's fourth full-length Infernal Power, Equinox expanded LUCIFUGE to a full lineup, and it paid off in spades: the band's first album under the banner of DYING VICTIMS capped this signature sound with power and applomb, exuding a new professionalism that somehow sounded dirtier than ever.
And as forecasted last year by their short 'n' sweet split with Italian comrades BUNKER 66, LUCIFUGE continue to spit-shine that sound with Monoliths of Wrath. Immediately upon pressing "play" on this fifth full-length, it becomes clear that Equinox and crew are taking their sound in a newer but no-less-parallel direction. Unapologetically more technical than their more idiomatic "metalpunk" past, LUCIFUGE's latest LP is not lacking for speed – in fact, it's FASTER – but this much-more-directly thrash-oriented record takes sonic cues from classic Sodom, Kreator, Exodus, and of course Slayer. Thankfully, we're still entrenched in the '80s here, but more accurately 1987 rather than 1984. Likewise, the evil, blasphemic, and anti-religious themes are retained throughout the whole record, but Monoliths of Wrath sees LUCIFUGE integrating some almost-atmospheric black metal passages in between. So, while it definitely follows from the aforementioned full-length and split, Monoliths of Wrath involves much more complex song structures overall, which are given maximum power through the production: full-bodied and "pro" but hardly soft, LUCIFUGE's first foray into a proper recording studio (rather than the practice room) makes a huge difference in highlighting their new dynamics and tempo variation. Oh, and did we mention the BREAKDOWNS? Seriously, this is a timewarp to '87, in the best possible way!
So, a blast from the past, but diffently: LUCIFUGE have truly nailed their own sound and direction with Monoliths of Wrath.

DVP 258 High Warden – Land of Stone MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the debut demo tape of Germany's HIGH WARDEN, Land of Stone, on music cassette format.
The newly founded two-piece released their first four tracks digitally in the end of 2022, but now this epic doom & heavy metal demo will get its appropriate tape release. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Magic Circle, Solstice, Orodruin and Reverend Bizarre (whom they also pay tribute to by covering "Cirith Ungol"), HIGH WARDEN frame their own signature sound, plainly named Slow Heavy Metal. It's an endless death march on the warrior's path towards bleakness, doom and the murderous malice of the Morgul vale, paved with iron-clad riffs of Ancient Steel.

DVP 244 Megaton Sword – Might & Power LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEGATON SWORD's highly anticipated second album, Might & Power, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Since their auspicious birth in 2018, there's been no stopping Switzerland's MEGATON SWORD. As if their very moniker was a prescient stroke of genius – or, rather, a self-fulfilling prophecy – the once-quartet arrived fully formed with their glorious debut EP, Niralet, in 2019 via DYING VICTIMS. Here, virtually without warning, they evinced an ages-old sound that was wise (and wizened) well beyond their young years. Already, MEGATON SWORD knew the mystery of steel...and wielded it with a startling confidence. Which made their debut album the next year, Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire, all the more shocking: MEGATON SWORD somehow revealed new twists to that mystery of steel, and further evinced a charisma that was star-power writ large. Again released by DYING VICTIMS, it was no shock that Blood Hails Steel – Steel Hails Fire was hailed far and wide. And yet still, it seemed MEGATON SWORD were only getting started...
And they're not finished – not by a long shot – as testified by their second album, Might & Power. Almost absurdly titled in its elegant simplicity, Might & Power might seem on the surface a reiteration of their true-as-steel HEAVY METAL, and to a large degree, that's correct – MEGATON SWORD are still drunk on high fantasy and the enduring themes of conquest and valor, triumph and tragedy – but the deceptively expansive album sees the now-quintet stretching their sturdy sound in directions more dynamic and extreme. When was the last time you heard actual blastbeats on a true-metal album? Well, you'll certainly find 'em here on Might & Power and probably not bat an eyelash, for MEGATON SWORD wield all their weapons effortlessly. What about '70s singer-songwriter melodrama, plaintive piano and all? Same here: while far more subtle, the integration of softer, rock-oriented textures makes their metal all the more enduring – and exciting. For if there's one guiding theme that earmarks Might & Power as MEGATON SWORD's arguably greatest recording, it's that the drama is windswept but undeniably human, in all its myriad hues; this may be heavy metal after all, but it's not "only heavy metal." Put another way, MEGATON SWORD so deeply understand that mystery of steel that they know when to sheath their (sonic) swords and offer a weathered hand, gently raising up their fallen comrades. Much credit goes to vocalist Uzzy Unchained, whose pipes poignantly narrate this evocative shift.
With no hyperbole intended, MEGATON SWORD are no longer on the march. They have truly reached the halls of greatness with Might & Power. Hearing is believing, but it just might bring you to tears.

DVP 246 Iron Curtain – Metal Gladiator EP MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from IRON CURTAIN, Metal Gladiator, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
For over 15 years now, Spanish metal inquisition IRON CURTAIN have been stalwart defenders of the faith. With a discography that includes four full-lengths and twice as many EPs, splits, and demos, IRON CURTAIN's ever-sturdy sound was forged in the fires of the early '80s: largely nodding to the eternal Motörhead as well as Tank, but also Canadian gods like Exciter and Razor, to the Teutonic might of early Iron Angel and Grave Digger, to Scandinavian gods OZ and Heavy Load, to cult American icons Abattoir and Savage Grace. And with the DYING VICTIMS release of career highpoint Danger Zone in 2019, that sound's become even more rocking than ever.
And IRON CURTAIN continue that trajectory with a quick-hitting and absolutely electric mini-album titled Metal Gladiator. A smorgasboard of old & new and special all the same, Metal Gladiator includes three new and exclusive tracks – "Crossing the Acheron," "Burn in Hell," and the title track "Metal Gladiator" – recorded at their own Gorgon Studios during the latter half of 2021, displaying perhaps their most perfect balance of grit and gleam...total anthems! Then there are three older songs that include special lead-guitar friends: "Rough Riders"with Noboru Jero Sakuma (Gorgon, Abigail, Metalucifer), "Stormbound"with Blumi (Metal Inquisitor, Midnight Rider), and "The Running Man" with Harry Granroth (RAM). And lastly is the brand-new song "Rattlesnake," which will be on IRON CURTAIN's forthcoming fifth full-length. Altogether, Metal Gladiator is a new start for the band and resounding reassurance for IRON CULT's true-metal dominance during their third decade of existence!

DVP-R 010 Buzzard – Gambler LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a long-overdue reissue of the lone cult album of Belgium's BUZZARD, Gambler, on vinyl LP and CD formats. The CD version also includes the band's 1983 demo, A Strange Gang, as bonus tracks.
Hailing from Menen, West Flanders, Belgium's BUZZARD initially began as early as 1979 when vocalist Hans Berten (Hanzie) and drummer Dirk Vanhee decided to start a band together. A search for a guitarist and bassist began in earnest, with guitarist Steve Deceuninck and Nick Debeuf (Riff) both joining midway through 1980. Since a bassist was not immediately found, Hans decided to take on bass guitar as well as vocals. The moniker BUZZARD was then chosen, as inspiration was drawn from the band Armageddon, whose 1975 album of the same name featured the song "Buzzard," which Steve had learned to play on guitar. The band's first gig took place in February 1981.
Lineup shuffles ensued, but BUZZARD eventually recorded the demo A Strange Gang in 1983, the only official demo they'd record. Their live reputation grew in kind, and the band came to the attention of Antler Records, who signed BUZZARD for a two-album deal. Perhaps not surprisingly, more lineup shuffles ensued two months before recording their debut album and even continued during its recording, but what a record they delivered.
Titled Gambler, BUZZARD's first – and sadly, only – album is a poignant snapshot of heavy metal in 1984. Reprising three re-recorded songs from the preceding demo, Gambler bursts and bristles with a youthful energy that's almost naïve, but endearingly and charmingly so. For BUZZARD were simply a HEAVY METAL band – not strictly speed metal, although they had their share of juiced-up rockers, nor did they have the pout & strut of so much hard rock-leaning metal of the time, and they definitely weren't thrash, still very much in its nascent days – and one that nodded to both England and Germany, but never too often nor for too long. The album's first two tracks perhaps spell it out best: "Stone-Hard and Loud" and "We Are Heavy Rockers," as perfect of an opening combo as there is for the time. And the rest of the record is absolutely spellbinding in its verve and vivacity, with the recording just on the right side of rough.
Gambler was released at the end of October 1984, and the following week, disaster struck again: Steve was involved in a motorcycle accident and was in a coma for a week and a half, requiring three months of rehabilitation. When Steve was fit again, many gigs followed, including some concerts in France and in the Netherlands. Work then began on the second BUZZARD album, and although the writing process was progressing well and the record was already written, the band found that the fire was actually quietly dying out because of other interests, relationships etc. Thus, in February 1986, the band decided to pull the plug on BUZZARD.
Now, 38 years later, Gambler will see a well-deserved reissue – and, for the first time ever, on CD as well as vinyl. A BUZZARD reunion is out of the question because Steve has traded in his guitar for a drum kit over the years and also out of respect for Stephan Logie (Elly), who sadly left us in 2018. The former members still see each other regularly at local parties where old memories are made between pot and pint. BUZZARD created a band for life!

DVP 254 Speedwhore – Visions of a Parallel World LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Germany's SPEEDWHORE, Visions of a Parallel World, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
SPEEDWHORE was formed in Munich by Tim Kuntze and Johannes Mikulits in 2006. What started as an alcohol-induced joke soon took its own course when, soon after, SPEEDWHORE had their first rehearsals with a quickly expanded lineup. Three demos followed (one unreleased) as well as two singles and constant gigs in the ever-thriving German underground. But it was the band's debut album, The Future is Now – released in 2015 by the cult label Witches Brew – that truly put SPEEDWHORE on the metal map, featuring as it did an odd-yet-endearing mix of thrash, black metal, and traditional heavy metal. An EP and a split 7" followed before Tim moved to Berlin and revamped the band completely. With the lineup filled out by Alexander Pusch, Leonhard Link, and Marcel Cording, SPEEDWHORE started to have national and international gigs again, and this lineup released their first output on a tribute album to Japan's legendary Sabbat as well as another split 7".
Road-tested by yet more gigs, the revamped SPEEDWHORE make their full-length debut with Visions of a Parallel World. At once sounding strikingly SPEEDWHORE and incredibly reinvigorated, the band's second album takes that odd-yet-endearing mix to grander, grimier levels. On the surface, much of Visions of a Parallel World could soundtrack a heavy metal drinking party...but listen closely and one will detect unique twists of atmosphere and a more idiosyncratic approach to songwriting that jointly put SPEEDWHORE in a whole new realm (or a rarefied one populated by such idiosyncratic cults as fellow Germans Witching Hour or Slovenian labelmates VIGILANCE). The nine-song/39-minute album charges hard and charges in many directions, but always forward and abyss-ward, and the filth freely washes over you as a ghostly fog of ancient terror simultaneously casts its spell. The supremely grainy & old-school yet spacious production skillfully enhances this sensation and further lends an air of the archaic to proceedings, but rest assured that true HEAVY METAL physicality is present and accounted for. Call Visions of a Parallel World, then, a heavy metal drinking party where dread portals are also opened.
Equally suited to the streets and castles, SPEEDWHORE fire up the motorbikes and evoke Visions of a Parallel World.

DVP 255 Violent Sin – Serpent's Call LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VIOLENT SIN's highly anticipated debut album, Serpent's Call, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP format.
Hailing from Belgium, VIOLENT SIN formed in 2016 to honor and build upon the legacy of heavy metal and its varied & diverse forms. Although the band certainly draws inspiration from the days of yore, they're certainly not limited to what people would call '80s metal – in their words, "We believe that real metal is timeless" – and humbly and reverentially do they offer a continuation and innovation of what all their predecessors set in motion.
VIOLENT SIN's first recording came in 2017 with a digital single, and then was followed a year later by a six-song demo. Five years would pass before a new lineup was configured, but at long last – and with a revitalized sound, to boot – is the band's debut album ready to unleash its fury upon the world. Titled Serpent's Call, VIOLENT SIN's first full-length is indeed a summons to all headbangers who love denim and leather, cauldron and sword. Like a veritable jukebox, Serpent's Call synthesizes all sorts of righteous metal styles – classic speed, proto-blackthrash, speed-cum-thrash, juiced-up traditional – into one 37-minute thrillride. The recording's suitably rough but not overly raw, maintaining a "murky clarity" not unlike a classic Combat or Metal Blade record from 1985, and just the right amount of echo to emit sulfurous atmosphere. And at 11 swift 'n' stout songs, VIOLENT SIN race from one to the next, but always with memorability and malice.
For those who hail earliest Slayer, Exciter, Abattoir, Hallow's Eve, and Germany's Warlock, heed the Serpent's Call of VIOLENT SIN!

DVP 256 Armagh- Serpent Storm LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ARMAGH's highly anticipated second album, Serpent Storm, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Formed in 2012, ARMAGH are a heavy metal force from Satanic City Warsaw. Mixing classic heavy metal from the '70s and '80s with proto-black metal, ARMAGH are the creators of First Wave Only movement, which unites several Polish bands delivering old-school metal – among them, labelmates GALLOWER and SEXMAG but also Torpor, Wielki Mrok, and R.I.P. – with primal severity in their sound and message.
Truly, ARMAGH are a maniac maniac's band, idiosyncratic mainlining such noble influences as Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Motörhead, KISS, Manilla Road, early Slayer and Megadeth, W.A.S.P, Bathory, Dissection, Running Wild, KAT, and the NWOBHM in general into something authentically rustic and effortlessly unique. They delivered their first recording, the Venomous Frost EP, in 2016 and then followed it three years later with a split and then debut album, Cold Wrath of Mother Earth. The latter was exceptionally cult, but simply set the stage for their breakout record: Serpent Storm.
Wild and weird but never belabored, ARMAGH's second album seemingly comes from an alien place – one where Battle Cry, Another Perfect Day, Haunting the Chapel, Chinatown, Under the Sign of the Black Mark, and Born Again all simultaneously play in perfect, hellish harmony. A true record collector's record, Serpent Storm displays its power and personality at every turn, each of these ten songs offering its own canvas of darkness and mystery, ultimately making the album an epic of archaic splendor and true rivetheaded spirit. For as "old" as the album supposedly sounds (and by OLD, we mean ANCIENT), ARMAGH's rumbling 'n' roiling attack feels remarkably fresh compared to so much nowadays "heavy metal" or especially "black metal"; from the warlocked clean tones of frontman Galin Soulreaper to his almost rock 'n' rollish guitar tones, there's nothing trendy – only timeless – about that attack. The 45 minutes of Serpent Storm feel too short, so addicting is its alchemy.
Prepare for the sleeper hit of the year in ARMAGH's Serpent Storm: FUCK MODERN METAL, FIRST WAVE ONLY!

DVP 257 Rapid – Blackstar Oppression Regime MLP/CD
DYING VICTMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RAPID's striking debut mini-album, Blackstar Oppression Regime, on 12" vinyl and CD formats.The CD version will include the band's Deadly Torment demo as bonus tracks.
Hailing from coldest Finland, RAPID create burning-black speed metalpunk. The band's roots go back to 2013, when the three friends – vocalist/bassist Vincent Revenge, drummer Tapio "The Goon" Malmström, and guitarist Atte "Spectre" Nikku, the latter two then still members of Excuse – were playing covers of such bands as Venom, Motörhead, Hellhammer, Slayer, and Judas Priest. The next year became more serious, and they decided to name themselves RAPID and soon recorded their first demo, Rapid Metal Attack. In 2016, they released their second demo, Deadly Torment, and garnered some larger recognition, especially outside of Finland. That then led to a deal with Svart Records for the Ancient Force 7" EP, released in 2017.
Then, in 2020, after a few years of different phases, live shows, and strict practice and composing, RAPID recorded their breakout mini-album, Blackstar Oppression Regime. Immediately upon pressing "play," lighting strikes and it's apparent that RAPID are more juiced-up than ever, electricity literally bristling from every second of these four songs. Whereas prior RAPID recordings suggested more convenient subgenre categorization, here on Blackstar Oppression Regime is the attack ever so subtly more unique. There's the urgency of hardcore punk, the hook-oriented propulsion of speed metal, and the spidery aura of old-wave black metal, but even then, that only tells half the RAPID story; some of the lead lines could come from classic deathrock, while the general hot-rockin' that anchors everything is pure turn-of-the-'80s heavy metal. Put together, especially with the power-trio's charisma spilling over into everything, Blackstar Oppression Regime becomes a four-pronged attack of timeless metal anarchy.
Previously only available digitally, Blackstar Oppression Regime now sees physical release via DYING VICTIMS, both as a stand-alone 12" and on CD buttressed by Deadly Torment. RAPID have arrived!

DVP 259 Mälheür – Nocturnal Forces MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the debut demo tape of France's MÄLHEÜR, Nocturnal Forces, on music cassette format.
The four-piece realized that in their specific area nobody was delivering the real metallic assault and because of that, they started Mälheür in 2021. Their only aim is to summon Hell and oldschool steel. Fittingly they rehearse in the stables of an old castle and with influences ranging from Living Death, Whiplash, Deathhammer, Kreator to Razor (a cover of « City of Damnation » is included), it is clear that Mälheür is dedicated to the old days of speed and thrash. SATANIK SPEED LEGIONS RAISE FROM HELL and bang your heads to « Nocturnal Forces »!!!

DVP 248 Firmament – We Don't Rise, We Just Fall LP/CD/MC
DVP 248 Firmament – We Don't Rise, We Just Fall LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Germany's FIRMAMENT, We Don't Rise, We Just Fall, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Leipzig, Germany's FIRMAMENT are a new heavy rock quintet begun in early 2021 by ex-members of TENSION, Prisma, and Wayward. Despite three of the members having done time in TENSION – who released their critically acclaimed debut album, Tension, via DYING VICTIMS last year – the goal for FIRMAMENT from the start was to write moving and thus catchy hard rock songs that get stuck in your head immediately as well as stylistically/spiritually returning to an era before traditional heavy metal even existed. So, while it's tempting to superficially think FIRMAMENT are an extension of where TENSION left off, the truth is that FIRMAMENT are indeed their own "firmament."
FIRMAMENT's first recording together was a two-song single, "The Void / Losing You," which they recorded live in their rehearsal room. The single was first released digitally during the autumn of 2021, and then was released as a super-limited homemade tape sold exclusively at gigs. With such heartfelt and truly homemade passion, during March 2022 did FIRMAMENT enter the studio to record their debut album. Poignantly titled We Don't Rise, We Just Fall, FIRMAMENT's first full-length sees the five-piece steering the same ship – the unapologetically old-school vibes of the '70s and '80s and transferring them to the current time, without being stuck in specific genre boxes – but doing so more masterfully than before. Like those throwback eras (and particularly during the '70s), equal emphasis is placed on performance and songwriting, each one informing the other, resulting in an album-long experience where each of these nine songs retains its own identity and personality but come together to create a unified-yet-unique headspace. Just witness the deftly dynamic and era-authentic never-overdriven guitar work, where Tom Michalik and Philipp Meyer weave heartrending twin-guitar melodies; underneath that but actually taking center stage is the propulsive-yet-melodic bass work of Stefan Deutsch, which hooks just as effortlessly as those of his six-string partners. Of course, classic hard rock and proto-metal often lives or dies on the strength of its vocals, and in this department are FIRMAMENT no slouch: delivering his last performance with the band, frontman Maik Huber incites goosebumps with emotive, melancholic lines that sound as old as time and further add an air of mystery to We Don't Rise, We Just Fall.
While FIRMAMENT are currently working on fresh material with new vocalist Marco Herrmann, We Don't Rise, We Just Fall stands as a citadel of archaic melancholy – towering in its aura, yet approachable across its moss-covered landscape. Maniacs for '70s Scorpions, Blue Öyster Cult, Wishbone Ash, and Thin Lizzy, lay down your sword and stand before FIRMAMENT!

DVP 249 Hellcrash – Demonic Assassinatiön LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HELLCRASH's highly anticipated second album, Demonic Assassination, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
Despite forming in 2013 and a couple demos and a split over those first few years, it wasn't until HELLCRASH's debut album, Krvcifix Invertör, where the band started to make a dark name for itself. Released on vinyl by DYING VICTIMS in 2021, Krvcifix Invertör proved HELLCRASH were a power-trio in the grand tradition of domestic legends Bulldozer, brewing a similarly sleazy (and EVIL) style of speed metal. Simple but sublime it was, and diehards definitely took notice.
Now, two years later, arrives HELLCRASH's second album, Demonic Assassination. On first glance (and especially THAT COVER), it would seem that HELLCRASH are sticking to their guns, sowing the same seeds as earliest Slayer, Venom, and of course Bulldozer. Peer deeper and this latest expurse of sodomy shows that there's more – much more – to HELLCRASH's cauldron. Immediately, their attack's more refined here: some would call it "cleaning up," but the fine-tuning of songcraft and polishing of production have paid off in spades across Demonic Assassination. As such, there's far more variation in that songcraft – sometimes more speed metal, other times more thrash, or even metalpunk before it was such a thing, often all in the same song – and HELLCRASH ably finesse this transition with tighter execution that, thankfully, doesn't sacrifice an ounce of energy. In fact, if there's on guiding aspect here, it's energy: while HELLCRASH sometimes seem on the verge of self-combustion, so juiced-up is their rollercoaster sound, it all spills over into the listener as a celebration of filth, fury, and FUN. Could this be their The Final Separation? Perhaps...
Still sick, still sleazy, and definitely still crude & rude, HELLCRASH are firing on ALL cylinders here, and not just the old ones. So, while the aforementioned references still apply, Demonic Assassination is equally recommended for maniacs of later GBH, Carnivore, Warfare, Crumbsuckers, and contemporaries Children of Technology.

DVP 251 Animalize – Tapes from the Crypt MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a reissue of the explosive debut mini-album of France's ANIMALIZE, Tapes From the Crypt, on CD, and 12" vinyl formats.
Since 2018, France's ANIMALIZE keep playing the kind of music that you (or your parents) may have been listening to 40 years ago. You know that "Heavy Metal" sound that appeared at a time when none of the band members was born. Well, they're still doing it.
However, it is the band's love of movies which arguably influence ANIMALIZE's outlook the most and make the difference. For them, a visual identity and atmosphere – whether in their visual aesthetic, be it artwork or onstage, or especially their eventual videos – are of the utmost importance. Film also feeds their lyrics, quite often. The band states that such movies as Evil Dead, Mad Max, Pet Sematary, Masters of the Universe, and Terminator are among their most beloved.
While they would bring both to Technicolor climax with their debut album for DYING VICTIMS, Meat We Are Made Of, during the summer of 2022, ANIMALIZE nevertheless came out with all guns blazing two years prior on the preceding mini-album Tapes From the Crypt. With an eye-grabbing (and era-authentic) cover setting the stage, the originally-limited Tapes From the Crypt managed to make ANIMALIZE's strengths plain and POWERFUL: cruising speed metal glory crossing swords with radio-ready traditional metal of a most mid-'80s vintage. This is the sound of ANIMALIZE at their most straightforward– and, arguably, most accessible – for the proceeding debut full-length found them upping the vocal layering and especially the complexity considerably, but the gleam & glory of Tapes From the Crypt is undeniable, and undeniably fun. A snapshot of a still-boundless band finding their wings, now finally reissued: the saga of ANIMALIZE begins here!

DVP 258 High Warden – Land of Stone MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the debut demo tape of Germany's HIGH WARDEN, Land of Stone, on music cassette format.
The newly founded two-piece released their first four tracks digitally in the end of 2022, but now this epic doom & heavy metal demo will get its appropriate tape release. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Magic Circle, Solstice, Orodruin and Reverend Bizarre (whom they also pay tribute to by covering "Cirith Ungol"), HIGH WARDEN frame their own signature sound, plainly named Slow Heavy Metal. It's an endless death march on the warrior's path towards bleakness, doom and the murderous malice of the Morgul vale, paved with iron-clad riffs of Ancient Steel.

DVP 250 EMISSARY – s/t LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut mini-album of Finland's EMISSARY, self-titled Emissary, on cd and 12" vinyl format.
The planetary grid is riddled with unsteady and weak sonic occurrences, leaving a gap in the terrestrial soundscape. A planet-side distress signal originates from the northern hemisphere. Three trackers have joined forces in a mission to seal the aperture for good.
They are known as EMISSARY.
The tale of Finland's EMISSARY began in October 2019, just moments before a Cirith Ungol gig in Helsinki. Dimi (Ranger) and Iiro's idea of a band, which had already been around for years, got the fire it needed when they were chatting before the show with an old acquaintance, Joel (ex-Chevalier), and it turned out that his conceptions and ideas about music matched perfectly with the duo. Already at the first jam session, everything fell into place, and the trio focused immediately on writing their own songs. A shared vision crystallized week by week as sci-fi and fantasy fueled the ideas for the material. Even in the very beginning, the unrelenting power of old-school US power metal and the challenging structures of prog rock were the centerpieces of the music.
The epidemic slowed down the trio's activities in spring 2020, but EMISSARY continued to actively rehearse whenever possible. In less than a year's time after founding, the band began to record their debut five-track mini-album in cooperation with producer/engineer Anselmi Ahopalo.
Using precise state-of-the-art tech and stalwart sonic equipment from eras bygone, they have devised heavier-than-sun frequencies that would secure the breach and they would devote themselves as the Guardians of the Seal.
Indeed, EMISSARYs list of influences is vast and idiosyncratic. From the cult likes of Helstar, Sacred Blade, Camel, Virgin Steele, and Chastain to the big likes of Iron Maiden, Rush, Black Sabbath, Mercyful Fate, and Yes to films like Conan the Barbarian, Blade Runner, the first two Predator movies, the Star Trek franchise, and many, MANY more, EMISSARY's pool of textures and sensations is nigh overwhelming, if not for the bravado in which they pursue their own sound and the resultant compositional mastery they so freely flex across Emissary. Truly, the record's five primary songs – the aptly titled "Galactic Overture" sets the stage as an intro – burst and bristle with so many dazzling shapes, it's almost an afterthought that the power-trio make these sonic sci-fi castles catchy. So, chops for days and also hooks just as long, EMISSARY here deliver a half-hour of infinite possibilities in what's bound to be a classically brazen first statement – and now, under the auspices of DYING VICTIMS.
Stand by to receive auricular surge of earth-shattering heavy metal.

DVP 253 LUCIFUGE – Monoliths of Wrath LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fifth album of Germany's LUCIFUGE, Monoliths of Wrath, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2016, Germany's have been steadily perfect an addicting style of blackened speed metalpunk, all guided by the iron fist of mainman Equinox. Come 2021's fourth full-length Infernal Power, Equinox expanded LUCIFUGE to a full lineup, and it paid off in spades: the band's first album under the banner of DYING VICTIMS capped this signature sound with power and applomb, exuding a new professionalism that somehow sounded dirtier than ever.
And as forecasted last year by their short 'n' sweet split with Italian comrades BUNKER 66, LUCIFUGE continue to spit-shine that sound with Monoliths of Wrath. Immediately upon pressing "play" on this fifth full-length, it becomes clear that Equinox and crew are taking their sound in a newer but no-less-parallel direction. Unapologetically more technical than their more idiomatic "metalpunk" past, LUCIFUGE's latest LP is not lacking for speed – in fact, it's FASTER – but this much-more-directly thrash-oriented record takes sonic cues from classic Sodom, Kreator, Exodus, and of course Slayer. Thankfully, we're still entrenched in the '80s here, but more accurately 1987 rather than 1984. Likewise, the evil, blasphemic, and anti-religious themes are retained throughout the whole record, but Monoliths of Wrath sees LUCIFUGE integrating some almost-atmospheric black metal passages in between. So, while it definitely follows from the aforementioned full-length and split, Monoliths of Wrath involves much more complex song structures overall, which are given maximum power through the production: full-bodied and "pro" but hardly soft, LUCIFUGE's first foray into a proper recording studio (rather than the practice room) makes a huge difference in highlighting their new dynamics and tempo variation. Oh, and did we mention the BREAKDOWNS? Seriously, this is a timewarp to '87, in the best possible way!
So, a blast from the past, but diffently: LUCIFUGE have truly nailed their own sound and direction with Monoliths of Wrath.

DVP 259 Mälheür – Nocturnal Forces MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the debut demo tape of France's MÄLHEÜR, Nocturnal Forces, on music cassette format.
The four-piece realized that in their specific area nobody was delivering the real metallic assault and because of that, they started Mälheür in 2021. Their only aim is to summon Hell and oldschool steel. Fittingly they rehearse in the stables of an old castle and with influences ranging from Living Death, Whiplash, Deathhammer, Kreator to Razor (a cover of « City of Damnation » is included), it is clear that Mälheür is dedicated to the old days of speed and thrash. SATANIK SPEED LEGIONS RAISE FROM HELL and bang your heads to « Nocturnal Forces »!!!

DVP 261 Atonement – Sadistic Invaders LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Sweden's ATONEMENT, Sadistic Invaders, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
One of the most literally explosive young bands in the nowadays metal underground, ATONEMENT are a trio of Swedes whose average age was 16 years old when they released their debut demo, Merciless Blasphemy, in 2021. Despite such youth, ATONEMENT proved that they are steeped in the ancient essence of thrashing death metal circa 1987. Bubbling forth from their cauldron of nastiness were the likes of early Destruction, Sepultura, Possessed, Death, Sweden's Morbid, Germany's Poison, and Chile's Pentagram, and thus was Merciless Blasphemy aptly titled, for each of the demo's five songs whipped forth a filth & fury quite unlike anything else around.
With expectations understandably high, ATONEMENT took their time crafting the penultimate debut album, and two years later it arrives in the form of Sadistic Invaders. Yet another aptly titled recording, Sadistic Invaders carries forward that filth & fury of its short-length predecessor and amazingly ups the nastiness to hellish levels. Again, even with the band not yet in their 20s, ATONEMENT are dead-ringers for juiced-up and jackhammering deathrash of a most mid-'80s vintage, and the ten songs they devilishly dole out across the 37-minute album are somehow more crazed and compact than on said demo. And whereas that demo's ultra-rawness emitted an air of the otherworldly, here on Sadistic Invaders do the trio impart a thicker and fuller-bodied aspect, retaining a respectable rawness but not at the expense of their superlative chops; while it's always full speed ahead for ATONEMENT, they manage to twist the ceremonial knife in different and sometimes-impossible ways, elevating the album above the masses still searching for Endless Pain. Dizzying yet addicting, Sadistic Invaders hits with the power and precision of a nuclear strike.
And yet, it's still early days for ATONEMENT, so who knows how far they'll venture into the lungs of Hell? Sadistic Invaders provides the first full-length clues, and is highly recommended for maniacs of Deathhammer, Division Speed, and Norway's late/great Condor.

DVP 262 Spectre – Lonesome Gambler MLP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from Australia's SPECTRE, Lonesome Gambler, on CD, 12" vinyl, and cassette tape formats. The CD and tape versions will include five bonus tracks from the band's preceding singles and splits.
SPECTRE is the sterling heavy metal vison of Will Spectre. Formed in 2017, the band made its recorded debut that summer with the two-song Silver Invaders / Stand Alone single on the cult Heavy Chains label, which DYING VICTIMS released on 7" vinyl later that year. SPECTRE's primary influences are heavy metal and hard rock of the late '70s and early '80s, and they continued that streak with the Hard Attacks digital single in 2018. Four years would pass before the next SPECTRE recording, the two-song Drifter. On that record, Will Spectre was joined by his heavy friends Jake Glas (Outcast/Teuton) on vocals and David Harrington-George (The Wizar'd/Tarot) on bass. Expanding their purist palette, here did SPECTRE sprinkle spices from Will Spectre's other musical conjurings – namely, The Wizar'd, Tarot, Dracula, and Crypt Vapor.
Despite its brief length, Drifter was undoubtedly a pivotal recording for SPECTRE, and now the duo of Will Spectre and David Harrington-George return with arguably their best and bravest record yet, Lonesome Gambler. With the average length around five minutes per track, the four songs comprising Lonesome Gambler display an "epic compactness" which wholly suits the moodier material here. Taking the bathos and pathos of its predecessor further, SPECTRE conjure a mystical realm where private-press NWOBHM, dark AOR, and even early deathrock reside: the rocking is measured but not too hard, the melodies are melancholic but not totally depressing, and back on the mic, Spectre's vocals are somehow anthemic and sagely simultaneously. The vintage synths color these road/life/space-weary ruminations with tastefully dramatic effect, putting SPECTRE squarely on that precipice between 1979 and 1980, equally excited about and fearful of the future. It's a subtle refinement altogether, but one that proves there's plenty of magick still to be mined.
Bringing the past into the present, the CD and tape versions of Lonesome Gambler will include five bonus tracks – all from the band's aforementioned short-lengths, thereby making this a currently complete discography of SPECTRE. Roll the dice and turn the wheel!

DVP 263 Flight – Echoes of Journeys Past LP/CD/MC/Shirt
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Norway's FLIGHT, Echoes of Journeys Past, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
To call Norway's FLIGHT "retro" or "vintage" is to miss the point. Since their formation in 2012, the band have walked the fine line between effortless and studious – a throwback to '70s proto-metal, sure, but done with such vigor and authenticity that even the most skeptical listener would be helpless to resist being whisked away some four decades into the past. Simply, their music exists in that same vacuum when ROCK conquered all. FLIGHT bring the past into the present and write understated-yet-invigorating rockers that draw from a very rich (and idiosyncratic) history. To date, the band's two full-length records mark specific periods of their patient oeuvre: 2015's rough 'n' ready self-titled debut and 2018's sci-fi-themed A Leap Through Matter.
Now, FLIGHT continue that patient ascent with LP #3, Echoes of Journeys Past. Presciently titled, Echoes of Journeys Past indeed steps deeper into that mythical, muddied past where genre delineations had yet to be created – and, more so, when "rocking out" was fully based on feel. Retaining that tasteful kinda-clean guitar tone that paradoxically allows their intrinsic grit to hit that much harder, FLIGHT seek a moodier batch of songs that dart in dazzling directions. Each one's based on a brisk, but-never-rushed pace, and each winds back and forth between hook and lead, rocking and reeling.
There's an elusive X-factor that makes the album such an enchanting spin, a touch of melancholy, or more so mystery. But most of all, it's FLIGHT's synthesis of songwriting and performance that pushes Echoes of Journeys Past into the halls of greatness. Every hit of the drum or strum of the guitar evokes a sensation of warmth, and the vocals adds a layer of pathos to the soundscape. All of this works in service of telling the STORY of the song. Indeed, the album plays out like a story, recalling so much of the 1970s without singly settling on one specific era or sound, before reaching a climax with the ten-minute closer "Mystic Mountain," which sounds exactly as it's titled.
The retro-rock game is more crowded than ever, but with roots equally in proto-metal, FLIGHT continue to explore relatively rarefied ground with increasingly powerful results. Strange as it may seem that that power has exploded tenfold by scaling back, Echoes of a Journey Past could yet be the band's breakthrough record. Those who cherish Gorham/Robertson-era Thin Lizzy, Rainbow's Down to Earth into Difficult to Cure, or even Blue Öyster Cult at their late '70s / early '80s peak, you've found your new modern classic."

DVP 254 Speedwhore – Visions of a Parallel World LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Germany's SPEEDWHORE, Visions of a Parallel World, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
SPEEDWHORE was formed in Munich by Tim Kuntze and Johannes Mikulits in 2006. What started as an alcohol-induced joke soon took its own course when, soon after, SPEEDWHORE had their first rehearsals with a quickly expanded lineup. Three demos followed (one unreleased) as well as two singles and constant gigs in the ever-thriving German underground. But it was the band's debut album, The Future is Now – released in 2015 by the cult label Witches Brew – that truly put SPEEDWHORE on the metal map, featuring as it did an odd-yet-endearing mix of thrash, black metal, and traditional heavy metal. An EP and a split 7" followed before Tim moved to Berlin and revamped the band completely. With the lineup filled out by Alexander Pusch, Leonhard Link, and Marcel Cording, SPEEDWHORE started to have national and international gigs again, and this lineup released their first output on a tribute album to Japan's legendary Sabbat as well as another split 7".
Road-tested by yet more gigs, the revamped SPEEDWHORE make their full-length debut with Visions of a Parallel World. At once sounding strikingly SPEEDWHORE and incredibly reinvigorated, the band's second album takes that odd-yet-endearing mix to grander, grimier levels. On the surface, much of Visions of a Parallel World could soundtrack a heavy metal drinking party...but listen closely and one will detect unique twists of atmosphere and a more idiosyncratic approach to songwriting that jointly put SPEEDWHORE in a whole new realm (or a rarefied one populated by such idiosyncratic cults as fellow Germans Witching Hour or Slovenian labelmates VIGILANCE). The nine-song/39-minute album charges hard and charges in many directions, but always forward and abyss-ward, and the filth freely washes over you as a ghostly fog of ancient terror simultaneously casts its spell. The supremely grainy & old-school yet spacious production skillfully enhances this sensation and further lends an air of the archaic to proceedings, but rest assured that true HEAVY METAL physicality is present and accounted for. Call Visions of a Parallel World, then, a heavy metal drinking party where dread portals are also opened.
Equally suited to the streets and castles, SPEEDWHORE fire up the motorbikes and evoke Visions of a Parallel World.

DVP 255 Violent Sin – Serpent's Call LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VIOLENT SIN's highly anticipated debut album, Serpent's Call, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP format.
Hailing from Belgium, VIOLENT SIN formed in 2016 to honor and build upon the legacy of heavy metal and its varied & diverse forms. Although the band certainly draws inspiration from the days of yore, they're certainly not limited to what people would call '80s metal – in their words, "We believe that real metal is timeless" – and humbly and reverentially do they offer a continuation and innovation of what all their predecessors set in motion.
VIOLENT SIN's first recording came in 2017 with a digital single, and then was followed a year later by a six-song demo. Five years would pass before a new lineup was configured, but at long last – and with a revitalized sound, to boot – is the band's debut album ready to unleash its fury upon the world. Titled Serpent's Call, VIOLENT SIN's first full-length is indeed a summons to all headbangers who love denim and leather, cauldron and sword. Like a veritable jukebox, Serpent's Call synthesizes all sorts of righteous metal styles – classic speed, proto-blackthrash, speed-cum-thrash, juiced-up traditional – into one 37-minute thrillride. The recording's suitably rough but not overly raw, maintaining a "murky clarity" not unlike a classic Combat or Metal Blade record from 1985, and just the right amount of echo to emit sulfurous atmosphere. And at 11 swift 'n' stout songs, VIOLENT SIN race from one to the next, but always with memorability and malice.
For those who hail earliest Slayer, Exciter, Abattoir, Hallow's Eve, and Germany's Warlock, heed the Serpent's Call of VIOLENT SIN!

DVP 256 Armagh- Serpent Storm LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ARMAGH's highly anticipated second album, Serpent Storm, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Formed in 2012, ARMAGH are a heavy metal force from Satanic City Warsaw. Mixing classic heavy metal from the '70s and '80s with proto-black metal, ARMAGH are the creators of First Wave Only movement, which unites several Polish bands delivering old-school metal – among them, labelmates GALLOWER and SEXMAG but also Torpor, Wielki Mrok, and R.I.P. – with primal severity in their sound and message.
Truly, ARMAGH are a maniac maniac's band, idiosyncratic mainlining such noble influences as Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Motörhead, KISS, Manilla Road, early Slayer and Megadeth, W.A.S.P, Bathory, Dissection, Running Wild, KAT, and the NWOBHM in general into something authentically rustic and effortlessly unique. They delivered their first recording, the Venomous Frost EP, in 2016 and then followed it three years later with a split and then debut album, Cold Wrath of Mother Earth. The latter was exceptionally cult, but simply set the stage for their breakout record: Serpent Storm.
Wild and weird but never belabored, ARMAGH's second album seemingly comes from an alien place – one where Battle Cry, Another Perfect Day, Haunting the Chapel, Chinatown, Under the Sign of the Black Mark, and Born Again all simultaneously play in perfect, hellish harmony. A true record collector's record, Serpent Storm displays its power and personality at every turn, each of these ten songs offering its own canvas of darkness and mystery, ultimately making the album an epic of archaic splendor and true rivetheaded spirit. For as "old" as the album supposedly sounds (and by OLD, we mean ANCIENT), ARMAGH's rumbling 'n' roiling attack feels remarkably fresh compared to so much nowadays "heavy metal" or especially "black metal"; from the warlocked clean tones of frontman Galin Soulreaper to his almost rock 'n' rollish guitar tones, there's nothing trendy – only timeless – about that attack. The 45 minutes of Serpent Storm feel too short, so addicting is its alchemy.
Prepare for the sleeper hit of the year in ARMAGH's Serpent Storm: FUCK MODERN METAL, FIRST WAVE ONLY!

DVP 257 Rapid – Blackstar Oppression Regime MLP/CD
DYING VICTMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RAPID's striking debut mini-album, Blackstar Oppression Regime, on 12" vinyl and CD formats.The CD version will include the band's Deadly Torment demo as bonus tracks.
Hailing from coldest Finland, RAPID create burning-black speed metalpunk. The band's roots go back to 2013, when the three friends – vocalist/bassist Vincent Revenge, drummer Tapio "The Goon" Malmström, and guitarist Atte "Spectre" Nikku, the latter two then still members of Excuse – were playing covers of such bands as Venom, Motörhead, Hellhammer, Slayer, and Judas Priest. The next year became more serious, and they decided to name themselves RAPID and soon recorded their first demo, Rapid Metal Attack. In 2016, they released their second demo, Deadly Torment, and garnered some larger recognition, especially outside of Finland. That then led to a deal with Svart Records for the Ancient Force 7" EP, released in 2017.
Then, in 2020, after a few years of different phases, live shows, and strict practice and composing, RAPID recorded their breakout mini-album, Blackstar Oppression Regime. Immediately upon pressing "play," lighting strikes and it's apparent that RAPID are more juiced-up than ever, electricity literally bristling from every second of these four songs. Whereas prior RAPID recordings suggested more convenient subgenre categorization, here on Blackstar Oppression Regime is the attack ever so subtly more unique. There's the urgency of hardcore punk, the hook-oriented propulsion of speed metal, and the spidery aura of old-wave black metal, but even then, that only tells half the RAPID story; some of the lead lines could come from classic deathrock, while the general hot-rockin' that anchors everything is pure turn-of-the-'80s heavy metal. Put together, especially with the power-trio's charisma spilling over into everything, Blackstar Oppression Regime becomes a four-pronged attack of timeless metal anarchy.
Previously only available digitally, Blackstar Oppression Regime now sees physical release via DYING VICTIMS, both as a stand-alone 12" and on CD buttressed by Deadly Torment. RAPID have arrived!

DVP 260 Critical Defiance – Misconception LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present CRITICAL DEFIANCE's cult debut album, Misconception, on vinyl LP format.
Hailing from the cult-metal hotbed of Chile, for over a decade now, CRITICAL DEFIANCE have been steadfast purveyors of authentically late '80s-style THRASH. With a couple demos and a split preceding it, the band truly put themselves on the metal map with their 2019 debut album, Misconception.
Absolutely ripping right from the start, Misconception announced in a manner most Dark Angel "we have arrived!" Encompassing eight songs in 40 minutes, CRITICAL DEFIANCE's debut album possessed a veritable treasure trove of ideas – or, rather, riffs and rhythms – too countless for such a seemingly compact runtime. Indeed, the Chileans whip forth a fury whereby everything races with palpitating intensity and the extreme aggression's well into the red, but due to their jawdropping chops and a mad-scientist style of songwriting, everything across Misconception flows with a paradoxical sort of grace. Granted, such was the way of such legends as Sadus, Demolition Hammer, Morbid Saint, and indeed Dark Angel, and CRITICAL DEFIANCE duly honored this rich legacy with their own brand of actually-catchy tech-thrash...and they were just getting started!
Hear where one of modern vintage thrash's best success stories started with this well-earned vinyl release of CRITICAL DEFIANCE's Misconception!

DVP 265 Bottomless – The Banishing LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BOTTOMLESS' highly anticipated second album, The Banishing, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Italy, BOTTOMLESS was formed in 2016 by the hands of vocalist/guitarist Giorgio Trombino and drummer David Lucido; bassist Sara Bianchin joined shortly after. Collectively, the band possesses a wealth of experience across other prior and present bands, including Messa, Assumption, Becerus, Shrieking Demons, Morbo, and many more. Five years later, in 2021 and preceded by a trio of three of digital singles, BOTTOMLESS released their self-titled debut album: a clear affirmation of the power-trio's commitment to traditional doom metal yet with a slightly '70s edge, bluesy and hard rocking.
Now, two years later, BOTTOMLESS return with their second full-length. Appropriately titled The Banishing, the band take bold steps into new territories here, retaining their rootsy doom sound but moving it toward the epic and sometimes evil and most definitely dark. The relatively-dramatic shift reflects a focus on themes of magic, death, remembrance, and sorrow, most poignantly displayed across such tracks as "Guardians of Silence," "By the Sword of the Archangel," and the acoustic ballad "Drawn Into Yesterdays." Even more so than the first album, The Banishing is a doom metal record for doom maniacs, reflecting emotional atmospheres reminiscent of classic Candlemass, Solitude Aeternus, the UK's Solstice, and Manilla Road's slower moments whilst firmly residing on a foundation of '80s doom ala Pentagram, Trouble, and especially Black Sabbath; one could say that BOTTOMLESS are even approaching the latter's cult years with Tony Martin on the mic. And like the best vintage doom, whether it's entrenched in the '70s or '80s, The Banishing is richly wrapped in an authentically analog production, all recorded, mixed, and mastered on tape in a few sessions.
BOTTOMLESS are truly hitting their stride now. The Banishing is for all those heavy rockin' castaways who are living backwards, banished from the modern world and still looking to carve their own individual path into the realm of slow, somber heavy metal.

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a new two-track ep by Germany's MIDNIGHT PREY on music cassette format. Both tracks will be part of a vinyl and cd split release at a later point.
The Hamburg based three-piece is back after a short hiatus and proves once again that genre limitations are nothing they care about. While the trademarks of their much-acclaimed debut album "Uncertain Times" from 2019 are certainly still there, the band will not stop to incorporate new elements into their sound. This puts them in their very own spot among more genre abiding current heavy metal acts.
Hard rockers, punks and metalheads alike will appreciate the new tunes clocking in at almost 6 and almost 8 minutes respectively

DVP 267 Farscape – Purged and Forgotten LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present FARSCAPE's long-awaited fourth album, Purged and Forgotten, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Formed in 1998, Brazil's FARSCAPE helped lead the charge for the neo-retro thrash resurgence in their homeland, which continues unabated to this day. A slew of releases came in 2001 – two demos, and respective splits with Atomic Roar and Vexed – but it was the 2003 debut album Demon's Massacre where FARSCAPE first (and fully) stamped their name on the international metal map. While their contemporaries took slicker or more technical routes with their thrash, the quartet's defiantly flew the flag of hate raised by Kreator during the mid/late '80s; in fact, vocalist/guitarist Witchcaptor could be a dead-ringer for classic Mille. During all this, all four members – amazingly, THE SAME LINEUP to this day – pursued other equally archaic metals with the likes of Diabolic Force, Atomic Roar, Apokalyptic Raids, Sodomizer, and later Whipstriker, further sowing the seeds of influence in their native Brazil and abroad. Two more albums followed, 2006's Killers on the Loose and 2013's Primitive Blitzkrieg, as well as a handful of short-length releases, but FARSCAPE essentially went on hiatus following that third album.
Now, a full decade since their last official recordings, FARSCAPE return with arguably their best album yet, Purged and Forgotten. After an eerie (and quite surprisingly melodic) intro, the fire & fury of classic Teutonic thrash is felt – and, by proxy, which they helped shape in a way most Brazilian so many years ago – but equally burning are some new, ever-so-subtle twists on that noble idiom. Without ever quite going fully "slick" nor "tech," FARSCAPE here manage to honorably defy the Teutonic template: a more pronounced emphasis on leads, alternating between the eerily melodic and the tensely harmonic; tiny touches of atmospheric synth underneath the ripping riot of violence, further emphasizing the eerie; and in Witchcaptor's charismatic snarl, an equally surprising number of thinking-outside-the-box patterns as well as layering, giving Purged and Forgotten an unusual, almost-"hall of mirrors" aspect. Elsewhere, the quartet's songwriting locates that sweet spot between the linear and the twisted, not quite resorting to standard verse/chorus structures nor going overboard into the overly complicated. Simply, the red-eyed & rabid rush of classic FARSCAPE is accounted for, but these discerning veterans aren't short on honorable ways to wind their characteristic sound. Purged and Forgotten? Not fucking yet!

DVP 268 Dungeon – Into The Ruins MLP/MCD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the long-awaited new mini-album of England/Germany's DUNGEON, Into the Ruins, on CD, 12" vinyl, and cassette tape formats.
Originally formed in London, DUNGEON began their speed-thrash D-beat conquest with an aptly titled demo, Unholy Speed Attack, in 2015. A year later came the English Hell demo, released by the respected Me Saco Un Ojo Records. DUNGEON teamed up with Me Saco Un Ojo again for the release Purifying Fire mini-album in 2018, hitting a fever pitch in intensity and personality.
Now, a long five years after that last record, the hellions of DUNGEON return with another mini-album, and their most defining statement of metalpunk aggression: Into the Ruins. This MLP was recorded live over a sordid weekend in a damp Berlin bunker by engineer Max Hillebrand (Vasseur, Children) in September 2022. Featuring five filthy tracks across 22 minutes, Into the Ruins sees DUNGEON dig deeper into destruction, with evermore extreme influences bleeding into their sound. Their berserker energies summon Sodom and violent '80s thrash as well as Morbid Angel, Mercyful Fate, and Raped Ass-era Anti Cimex among other aural terrors, all merging into DUNGEON's signature explosive sound. The Venom/Discharge/Priest foundation is still present, but warped and perverted to an even greater degree.
Into the Ruins is no doubt the work of one, all-pistons-pumping unit, but individual performances are worth noting for their contribution to the black (w)hole. DUNGEON master Luke Drew (ex-Ekrixi) has become an unstoppable force of demented musical wizardy, his songwriting reaching new heights over 2020's lockdown. Six-string sadist Daragh Markham (Inhuman Nature, Who Cares?) brings his most spiteful guitar attacks to date. Olivia Airey (Maggot Heart, Raze) proves why she is one of the most sought-after players in the underground, with a filthy and undeniable presence throughout the MLP. And skin-smasher Chris Parker (Venomwolf) holds these shreds of sanity together with his uncanny instinct for barbaric flair. With Hillebrand at the helm, the full spectrum assault of DUNGEON's chaotic, destructive, and notorious live shows has been fully harnessed and unleashed across this recording, resulting in five raw blasts of heavy D-beat metal savagery. A fitting score for the imminent collapse of civilization, DUNGEON give you a glimpse Into the Ruins...

DVP 269 Fukkin' Vengeance – Sewer Surge LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Poland's FUKKIN' VENGEANCE, Sewer Surge, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Hailing from Warsaw, Poland's VENGEANCE – AKA FUKKIN' VENGEANCE – were formed in 2018 by guitarist Galin Soulripper and drummer Bomber. Later on, bassist Madman from Torpor and vocalist Alberth Dust of Bestiality joined the band, and the Fukkin' Vengeance demo was recorded and released in early 2020. After their debut live show, the band parted ways with Alberth Dust. Vikk Vandal became the new vocalist; with his contribution, FUKKIN' VENGEANCE started to rehearse the material for their first album. In the middle of the album's recording session, Madman left the band, and shortly after his departure, Lucifera took on the bass and laid her tracks on the album, therefore establishing the lineup.
And, at long last, that first FUKKIN' VEGEANCE album is here: Sewer Surge, no more perfectly titled. Like a storm-blast back to 1984, FUKKIN' VEGEANCE's first album is a rough, raw, but also refined travelogue across ancient metals and dark, dingy landscapes: a true True Metal maniac's album that shows shades of classic Tokyo Blade, Living Death, OZ, Iron Angel, and Abattoir as well as the deepest dungeons of the NWOBHM. And yet, what really puts these Poles over is the absolutely electric personality – dirty as fuck and definitely slumming it up in those sewers, but strangely, invigoratingly DESPERATE and utterly going for the glory. Of course, all this aplomb would be for naught if they didn't have the songs to back it up, and Sewer Surge positively bristles with one street-level anthem after another: the energy is always there, whether it's a sewer-strutting mid-tempo or (more often) a long-live-the-loud speed metalled charge. But, lest one think that FUKKIN' VENGEANCE are simply rivetheaded and only rivetheaded, there's a tasteful incorporation of moody melody into their surprisingly spacious riffing, elevating them above their more strictly retro-minded contemporaries and more so driving home the point that the sewer is indeed one of the darkest (and dankest) places around. Feel their Sewer Surge post-haste!

DVP 261 Atonement – Sadistic Invaders LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Sweden's ATONEMENT, Sadistic Invaders, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
One of the most literally explosive young bands in the nowadays metal underground, ATONEMENT are a trio of Swedes whose average age was 16 years old when they released their debut demo, Merciless Blasphemy, in 2021. Despite such youth, ATONEMENT proved that they are steeped in the ancient essence of thrashing death metal circa 1987. Bubbling forth from their cauldron of nastiness were the likes of early Destruction, Sepultura, Possessed, Death, Sweden's Morbid, Germany's Poison, and Chile's Pentagram, and thus was Merciless Blasphemy aptly titled, for each of the demo's five songs whipped forth a filth & fury quite unlike anything else around.
With expectations understandably high, ATONEMENT took their time crafting the penultimate debut album, and two years later it arrives in the form of Sadistic Invaders. Yet another aptly titled recording, Sadistic Invaders carries forward that filth & fury of its short-length predecessor and amazingly ups the nastiness to hellish levels. Again, even with the band not yet in their 20s, ATONEMENT are dead-ringers for juiced-up and jackhammering deathrash of a most mid-'80s vintage, and the ten songs they devilishly dole out across the 37-minute album are somehow more crazed and compact than on said demo. And whereas that demo's ultra-rawness emitted an air of the otherworldly, here on Sadistic Invaders do the trio impart a thicker and fuller-bodied aspect, retaining a respectable rawness but not at the expense of their superlative chops; while it's always full speed ahead for ATONEMENT, they manage to twist the ceremonial knife in different and sometimes-impossible ways, elevating the album above the masses still searching for Endless Pain. Dizzying yet addicting, Sadistic Invaders hits with the power and precision of a nuclear strike.
And yet, it's still early days for ATONEMENT, so who knows how far they'll venture into the lungs of Hell? Sadistic Invaders provides the first full-length clues, and is highly recommended for maniacs of Deathhammer, Division Speed, and Norway's late/great Condor.

DVP 262 Spectre – Lonesome Gambler MLP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from Australia's SPECTRE, Lonesome Gambler, on CD, 12" vinyl, and cassette tape formats. The CD and tape versions will include five bonus tracks from the band's preceding singles and splits.
SPECTRE is the sterling heavy metal vison of Will Spectre. Formed in 2017, the band made its recorded debut that summer with the two-song Silver Invaders / Stand Alone single on the cult Heavy Chains label, which DYING VICTIMS released on 7" vinyl later that year. SPECTRE's primary influences are heavy metal and hard rock of the late '70s and early '80s, and they continued that streak with the Hard Attacks digital single in 2018. Four years would pass before the next SPECTRE recording, the two-song Drifter. On that record, Will Spectre was joined by his heavy friends Jake Glas (Outcast/Teuton) on vocals and David Harrington-George (The Wizar'd/Tarot) on bass. Expanding their purist palette, here did SPECTRE sprinkle spices from Will Spectre's other musical conjurings – namely, The Wizar'd, Tarot, Dracula, and Crypt Vapor.
Despite its brief length, Drifter was undoubtedly a pivotal recording for SPECTRE, and now the duo of Will Spectre and David Harrington-George return with arguably their best and bravest record yet, Lonesome Gambler. With the average length around five minutes per track, the four songs comprising Lonesome Gambler display an "epic compactness" which wholly suits the moodier material here. Taking the bathos and pathos of its predecessor further, SPECTRE conjure a mystical realm where private-press NWOBHM, dark AOR, and even early deathrock reside: the rocking is measured but not too hard, the melodies are melancholic but not totally depressing, and back on the mic, Spectre's vocals are somehow anthemic and sagely simultaneously. The vintage synths color these road/life/space-weary ruminations with tastefully dramatic effect, putting SPECTRE squarely on that precipice between 1979 and 1980, equally excited about and fearful of the future. It's a subtle refinement altogether, but one that proves there's plenty of magick still to be mined.
Bringing the past into the present, the CD and tape versions of Lonesome Gambler will include five bonus tracks – all from the band's aforementioned short-lengths, thereby making this a currently complete discography of SPECTRE. Roll the dice and turn the wheel!

DVP 263 Flight – Echoes of Journeys Past LP/CD/MC/Shirt
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Norway's FLIGHT, Echoes of Journeys Past, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
To call Norway's FLIGHT "retro" or "vintage" is to miss the point. Since their formation in 2012, the band have walked the fine line between effortless and studious – a throwback to '70s proto-metal, sure, but done with such vigor and authenticity that even the most skeptical listener would be helpless to resist being whisked away some four decades into the past. Simply, their music exists in that same vacuum when ROCK conquered all. FLIGHT bring the past into the present and write understated-yet-invigorating rockers that draw from a very rich (and idiosyncratic) history. To date, the band's two full-length records mark specific periods of their patient oeuvre: 2015's rough 'n' ready self-titled debut and 2018's sci-fi-themed A Leap Through Matter.
Now, FLIGHT continue that patient ascent with LP #3, Echoes of Journeys Past. Presciently titled, Echoes of Journeys Past indeed steps deeper into that mythical, muddied past where genre delineations had yet to be created – and, more so, when "rocking out" was fully based on feel. Retaining that tasteful kinda-clean guitar tone that paradoxically allows their intrinsic grit to hit that much harder, FLIGHT seek a moodier batch of songs that dart in dazzling directions. Each one's based on a brisk, but-never-rushed pace, and each winds back and forth between hook and lead, rocking and reeling.
There's an elusive X-factor that makes the album such an enchanting spin, a touch of melancholy, or more so mystery. But most of all, it's FLIGHT's synthesis of songwriting and performance that pushes Echoes of Journeys Past into the halls of greatness. Every hit of the drum or strum of the guitar evokes a sensation of warmth, and the vocals adds a layer of pathos to the soundscape. All of this works in service of telling the STORY of the song. Indeed, the album plays out like a story, recalling so much of the 1970s without singly settling on one specific era or sound, before reaching a climax with the ten-minute closer "Mystic Mountain," which sounds exactly as it's titled.
The retro-rock game is more crowded than ever, but with roots equally in proto-metal, FLIGHT continue to explore relatively rarefied ground with increasingly powerful results. Strange as it may seem that that power has exploded tenfold by scaling back, Echoes of a Journey Past could yet be the band's breakthrough record. Those who cherish Gorham/Robertson-era Thin Lizzy, Rainbow's Down to Earth into Difficult to Cure, or even Blue Öyster Cult at their late '70s / early '80s peak, you've found your new modern classic."

DVP 264 Midnight Prey – Black Cat / Sword and Shield MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a new two-track ep by Germany's MIDNIGHT PREY on music cassette format. Both tracks will be part of a vinyl and cd split release at a later point.
The Hamburg based three-piece is back after a short hiatus and proves once again that genre limitations are nothing they care about. While the trademarks of their much-acclaimed debut album "Uncertain Times" from 2019 are certainly still there, the band will not stop to incorporate new elements into their sound. This puts them in their very own spot among more genre abiding current heavy metal acts.
Hard rockers, punks and metalheads alike will appreciate the new tunes clocking in at almost 6 and almost 8 minutes respectively

DVP 272 Reckless – Sharp Magik Steel LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Colombia's RECKLESS, Sharp Magick Steel, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Hailing from Bogota, RECKLESS are a Colombian speed metal band formed in 2019 by vocalist/guitarist W. Metalbringer. He was soon joined by bassist Jawbreaker, who brings a solid & heavy foundation to their compositions; drummer Rites666, who drives the band's frantic pace; and guitarist Spitfire, who complements the main riffing with blistering, passionate solos. With a solid foundation of Judas Priest, Accept, Running Wild, Slayer, Exodus, and Mercyful Fate, RECKLESS soon made their public debut with the two-song Relentless Assault / Prisoner single. Through those influences, the quartet displayed a distinct synthesis of thrash metal propulsion and classic heavy metal melodicism, arriving at a style of speed metal that's timeless and fresh.
Now, RECKLESS burst forth with a full display of their powers and potential, the debut album Sharp Magick Steel. Almost too perfectly titled, Sharp Magick Steel is a cruising and chrome-encased blast of judiciously tight aggression and invigorating, streamlined songwriting. RECKLESS here invoke their namesake by pushing the pedal to the literal metal, pumping pistons and pushing each of these eight songs forward with a locomotive thrust, but it's equally the deceptively patient execution which makes Sharp Magick Steel cut so thoroughly: these four metal warriors are totally in control, and they make it look – and sound – almost too easy. And, from cover art (courtesy of Velio Josto) on to the authentically vintage production, RECKLESS rage like it's 1988!
Fans of the aforementioned as well as classic Annihilator, Jag Panzer, Artillery, and Germany's Paradox are wholeheartedly encouraged to taste RECKLESS' Sharp Magick Steel!

DVP 273 Savage – Glory Riders LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Germany's SAVAGE, Glory Riders, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Hailing from Bavaria, SAVAGE formed in 2019 and promptly began solidifying their aesthetic. Then a trio, SAVAGE's sound remained firmly within the 1980s, and specifically on the darker and more dangerous side of the Sunset Strip – namely W.A.S.P. and early Mötley Crüe. The first sinful fruit was borne with their self-titled debut EP, which was recorded at the end of 2021 and then self-released during the following summer. Strictly DIY from mixing and mastering to promotion and distribution, Savage showed that SAVAGE had the fire already raging: word of mouth spread worldwide, the record nearly sold out, and work had already begun on their debut full-length!
Now with the addition of rhythm guitarist Alex "Axel" Warrior, SAVAGE have at least developed into the (fuck-like-a) beast they always aimed for, and are prepared to deliver a bound-to-be-classic debut album: Glory Riders. Almost presciently titled, Glory Riders soon becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of dirty and raw metal – or, as the band rightly liken it, MEAN HEAVY METAL. From sound and spirit on down to production and overall attitude, SAVAGE have the sleaziest side of classic American metal down COLD...or, should that be "fiery"? Indeed, even with the categorically cruising mid-tempo at which they move, SAVAGE positively ooze energy every single second here; hooks and heaviness take equal weight, and there's just the right amount of spaciousness here (ala W.A.S.P.'s nigh-untouchable opening trio of albums) to lend moodiness and mystery to the band's stadium-ready bravura. Neither flashy nor rudimentary, Glory Riders is simply stripped-down and muscular where it needs to be, keeping emphasis on the songwriting (and solos!) and letting SAVAGE's irresistible attitude take hold.
Without hyperbole, SAVAGE have hereby thrown down the gauntlet for any band, ever, attempting to invoke the sound & spirit of the aforementioned glory years of W.A.S.P., and Mötley Crüe. Further references include classic Twisted Sister, early Lizzy Borden, Halloween, Impaler, and even Coup d'état-era Plasmatics, but one listen to Glory Riders and you'll be convinced that these still-young gods are the REAL fucking DEAL!

DVP 274 Venator -Paradiser ... extended MLP/MCD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to repress VENATOR's debut ep Paradiser on MLP, MCD and cassette format.
Austria has many a exciting new talents in traditional metal, one of them being VENATOR! Paradiser features killer, era-authentic artwork reminiscent of Mausoleum Records' mid-'80s heyday and is VENATOR's entry with three moody 'n' melodic tracks which have a subtly anthemic quality; just as equally, one can feel the chill of night blow across Paradiser. The uniquely retro-futuristic production simply accentuates the atmospheric push and pull.
For the repress, VENATOR recorded three additional raw tracks, one new original as well as two cover tunes.

DVP 267 Farscape – Purged and Forgotten LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present FARSCAPE's long-awaited fourth album, Purged and Forgotten, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Formed in 1998, Brazil's FARSCAPE helped lead the charge for the neo-retro thrash resurgence in their homeland, which continues unabated to this day. A slew of releases came in 2001 – two demos, and respective splits with Atomic Roar and Vexed – but it was the 2003 debut album Demon's Massacre where FARSCAPE first (and fully) stamped their name on the international metal map. While their contemporaries took slicker or more technical routes with their thrash, the quartet's defiantly flew the flag of hate raised by Kreator during the mid/late '80s; in fact, vocalist/guitarist Witchcaptor could be a dead-ringer for classic Mille. During all this, all four members – amazingly, THE SAME LINEUP to this day – pursued other equally archaic metals with the likes of Diabolic Force, Atomic Roar, Apokalyptic Raids, Sodomizer, and later Whipstriker, further sowing the seeds of influence in their native Brazil and abroad. Two more albums followed, 2006's Killers on the Loose and 2013's Primitive Blitzkrieg, as well as a handful of short-length releases, but FARSCAPE essentially went on hiatus following that third album.
Now, a full decade since their last official recordings, FARSCAPE return with arguably their best album yet, Purged and Forgotten. After an eerie (and quite surprisingly melodic) intro, the fire & fury of classic Teutonic thrash is felt – and, by proxy, which they helped shape in a way most Brazilian so many years ago – but equally burning are some new, ever-so-subtle twists on that noble idiom. Without ever quite going fully "slick" nor "tech," FARSCAPE here manage to honorably defy the Teutonic template: a more pronounced emphasis on leads, alternating between the eerily melodic and the tensely harmonic; tiny touches of atmospheric synth underneath the ripping riot of violence, further emphasizing the eerie; and in Witchcaptor's charismatic snarl, an equally surprising number of thinking-outside-the-box patterns as well as layering, giving Purged and Forgotten an unusual, almost-"hall of mirrors" aspect. Elsewhere, the quartet's songwriting locates that sweet spot between the linear and the twisted, not quite resorting to standard verse/chorus structures nor going overboard into the overly complicated. Simply, the red-eyed & rabid rush of classic FARSCAPE is accounted for, but these discerning veterans aren't short on honorable ways to wind their characteristic sound. Purged and Forgotten? Not fucking yet!

DVP 268 Dungeon – Into The Ruins MLP/MCD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the long-awaited new mini-album of England/Germany's DUNGEON, Into the Ruins, on CD, 12" vinyl, and cassette tape formats.
Originally formed in London, DUNGEON began their speed-thrash D-beat conquest with an aptly titled demo, Unholy Speed Attack, in 2015. A year later came the English Hell demo, released by the respected Me Saco Un Ojo Records. DUNGEON teamed up with Me Saco Un Ojo again for the release Purifying Fire mini-album in 2018, hitting a fever pitch in intensity and personality.
Now, a long five years after that last record, the hellions of DUNGEON return with another mini-album, and their most defining statement of metalpunk aggression: Into the Ruins. This MLP was recorded live over a sordid weekend in a damp Berlin bunker by engineer Max Hillebrand (Vasseur, Children) in September 2022. Featuring five filthy tracks across 22 minutes, Into the Ruins sees DUNGEON dig deeper into destruction, with evermore extreme influences bleeding into their sound. Their berserker energies summon Sodom and violent '80s thrash as well as Morbid Angel, Mercyful Fate, and Raped Ass-era Anti Cimex among other aural terrors, all merging into DUNGEON's signature explosive sound. The Venom/Discharge/Priest foundation is still present, but warped and perverted to an even greater degree.
Into the Ruins is no doubt the work of one, all-pistons-pumping unit, but individual performances are worth noting for their contribution to the black (w)hole. DUNGEON master Luke Drew (ex-Ekrixi) has become an unstoppable force of demented musical wizardy, his songwriting reaching new heights over 2020's lockdown. Six-string sadist Daragh Markham (Inhuman Nature, Who Cares?) brings his most spiteful guitar attacks to date. Olivia Airey (Maggot Heart, Raze) proves why she is one of the most sought-after players in the underground, with a filthy and undeniable presence throughout the MLP. And skin-smasher Chris Parker (Venomwolf) holds these shreds of sanity together with his uncanny instinct for barbaric flair. With Hillebrand at the helm, the full spectrum assault of DUNGEON's chaotic, destructive, and notorious live shows has been fully harnessed and unleashed across this recording, resulting in five raw blasts of heavy D-beat metal savagery. A fitting score for the imminent collapse of civilization, DUNGEON give you a glimpse Into the Ruins...

DVP 269 Fukkin' Vengeance – Sewer Surge LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Poland's FUKKIN' VENGEANCE, Sewer Surge, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Hailing from Warsaw, Poland's VENGEANCE – AKA FUKKIN' VENGEANCE – were formed in 2018 by guitarist Galin Soulripper and drummer Bomber. Later on, bassist Madman from Torpor and vocalist Alberth Dust of Bestiality joined the band, and the Fukkin' Vengeance demo was recorded and released in early 2020. After their debut live show, the band parted ways with Alberth Dust. Vikk Vandal became the new vocalist; with his contribution, FUKKIN' VENGEANCE started to rehearse the material for their first album. In the middle of the album's recording session, Madman left the band, and shortly after his departure, Lucifera took on the bass and laid her tracks on the album, therefore establishing the lineup.
And, at long last, that first FUKKIN' VEGEANCE album is here: Sewer Surge, no more perfectly titled. Like a storm-blast back to 1984, FUKKIN' VEGEANCE's first album is a rough, raw, but also refined travelogue across ancient metals and dark, dingy landscapes: a true True Metal maniac's album that shows shades of classic Tokyo Blade, Living Death, OZ, Iron Angel, and Abattoir as well as the deepest dungeons of the NWOBHM. And yet, what really puts these Poles over is the absolutely electric personality – dirty as fuck and definitely slumming it up in those sewers, but strangely, invigoratingly DESPERATE and utterly going for the glory. Of course, all this aplomb would be for naught if they didn't have the songs to back it up, and Sewer Surge positively bristles with one street-level anthem after another: the energy is always there, whether it's a sewer-strutting mid-tempo or (more often) a long-live-the-loud speed metalled charge. But, lest one think that FUKKIN' VENGEANCE are simply rivetheaded and only rivetheaded, there's a tasteful incorporation of moody melody into their surprisingly spacious riffing, elevating them above their more strictly retro-minded contemporaries and more so driving home the point that the sewer is indeed one of the darkest (and dankest) places around. Feel their Sewer Surge post-haste!

DVP 275 Ritvs – Der Tag Naht LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RITVS' striking debut album, Der Tag Naht, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
RITVS may be new in name, but their history starts earlier. Under the preceding band name Vvlva, the band released a couple albums and a couple EPs of studiously vintage early hard rock / proto-metal. And the German quintet continue this backwards-looking path with the new moniker RITVS as a "new" old approach: exquisitely rustic late '70s sounds spanning hard rock, prog, AOR, and even late-days krautrock.
This exciting new chapter begins with Der Tag Naht, RITVS' debut under that moniker. This time, the Aschaffenburg band decided to only sing in their native German, which both pushes their lyrical boundaries and has a significant impact on their sound. The mostly narrative lyrics take the listener into dark and abysmal worlds that sometimes remind us more of our own world than what we wish for, much like so many great works of '70s science fiction did. Dazzling and dynamic in equal measure, the roaring Hammond organ shapes RITVS' characteristic sound, which equally rocks and rolls (and even ripples). In interaction with the warm, mossy guitar – both in sound and style – numerous licks and solo sequences are created, which are carried by a groovy rhythm section. During the album's songwriting, the band put special emphasis on combining catchiness with progressive elements, marrying heft and heaviness with poignant and emotive passages. Truly, across the entirety of Der Tag Naht is it clearly audible that all five members took their time to find the right (rustic) sounds, always reminding of the great late 70's without sounding dusty or tired. In fact, if there's one way to characterize the album, it's alive.
Earthdogs who thrill to the likes of late '70s Rainbow, Blue Öyster Cult, and Yes or even contemporaneous Kansas and Prof Wolfff, prepare to time-travel with RITVS' Der Tag Naht!

DVP 276 Freeways – True Bearing LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly demanded repress of True Bearings, the debut album by Canadian FREEWAYS, on CD, 12" vinyl and music cassette formats.
CANADIAN HEAVY ROCK...WITH A NWOBHM VIBE! Indeed, Freeways are a breath of fresh, northern air. Honoring the mystical undercurrents of so much classic Canadian rock of the past, the quartet's foundation is firm upon the hot-rockin' dynamics of '70s giants like UFO, Thin Lizzy, and April Wine along with the idiosyncratic twists of the unsung heroes of the NWOBHM and pub rock eras. It's a sound that's immediately familiar but also immediately engaging, so richly rendered are these soul-stirring odes to wanderlust, melancholia, and "Survival" itself.
Originally released in 2020 on Canadian Temple of Mystery Records, the album quickly sold out and together with their many great live performances, cemented FREEWAYS as one of the most exciting acts in the contemporary heavy rock scene.
True Bearings roves wild terrain, its push 'n' pull stirs the spirit, but never belabors the point; each of these seven streamlined songs is anchored to a plaintive, poignant hook, tastefully embellished with subtly delicate touches that proves Freeways as masters of mood. The quartet's interplay is untouchable here, given that their chosen idiom is the more-or-less hard(er) end of rock, exhibiting class and poise every step of the way, but perhaps no better evinced than on the near-seven-minute vamp of "Time is No Excuse." Thus, space and shade AND rocking hard and free coexist in the Freeways world, and the 37-minute True Bearings is a highway worth cruising time and time again.

DVP 277 Bunker 66 – Portraits of Dismay CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Portraits of Dismay, a special singles compilation by Italian BUNKER 66, on CD format.
The Italian three-piece is known as a prolific work horse, clocking in at currently 4 full length albums. It is however their many split releases with infamous underground hordes that showcase their addiction and dedication to the underground. Graced with an incredible artwork by Claudio Scialabba, Bunker 66's direction is made clear from the get go. Evil and raw blackened speed/thrash is what listeners can expect from them.
Since most of these 7" and 12" splits have been available on vinyl only until now, this 18 songs and 12 years spanning CD compilation has been inevitable.

DVP 278 Firmament / Midnight Prey – Gathered Under Open Skies MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Gathered Under Open Skies, a special split mini-album between Germany's FIRMAMENT and MIDNIGHT PREY, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Gathered Under Open Skies is indeed a special gathering, bringing together two forces that have become something like flagship bands for DYING VICTIMS: old "newcomers" FIRMAMENT and the reunited MIDNIGHT PREY. This special mini-album includes two brand-new tracks from both bands, totaling 23 minutes of vintage rock/metal moodiness.
FIRMAMENT continue their ascent following their widely acclaimed We Don't Rise, We Just Fall debut earlier this year, having largely risen from the ashes of speed metallers Tension but bringing a different approach with them. Here, with new vocalist Marco, the five-piece further flesh out that velvety vision, taking turn-of-the-'80s hard rock (and even a touch of equally early deathrock) down roads much more melancholic and emotive. You might even shed a tear while rocking out to their two fistbangers here; wherever you wanna go, FIRMAMENT will take you there. And tears may've been shed when MIDNIGHT PREY initially called it a day in 2020, but as of last year, the power-trio are back in action and, this summer, released a two-song tape to pick up right where they left off with their modern-classic Uncertain Times LP. Those two songs are provocatively titled – "Black Cat" and "Sword and Shield" – and between them, MIDNIGHT PREY keep that clean-yet-dirty surge that's equal parts punk, rock, and metal but totally unique. And considering the epic lengths these two tracks go to, the future suggests more splendors to come...
Graced with gorgeous cover art, Gathered Under Open Skies is a borderless realm where hard rockers, punks, metalheads, and general weirdoes can all roam. FIRMAMENT and MIDNIGHT PREY care nothing for genre limitations, and together invite you into their idyll.

DVP 271 Drifter – Beggars Ransom 7″
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Beggars Ransom, a new two-track 7" by DRIFTER from the USA.
ATTENTION PANHANDLERS...!
Just when you thought the dust had settled, Drifter return, whipping the very horse they rode in on. And this time, they're fit to drink the whole well dry.
Best return the other horses to the stable... Or better yet, just put 'em down.
Yes, Drifter plays for keeps with their new 7'' single entitled Beggars Ransom, featuring two classy cuts sure to leave you dead in your tracks. Think what you want about today's musical landscape, but Drifter are one of the few bands playing with a full deck.
With no fixed address, Drifter are staking claim from the US territories – which may come as a surprise upon listening. Not many bands are so capably selling NWOBHM by the pound, but Drifter seems to have, for whatever reason, gotten the best exchange rate. Not a pale imitation neither – true fans of the genre will hear right away.

DVP 272 Reckless – Sharp Magik Steel LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Colombia's RECKLESS, Sharp Magick Steel, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Hailing from Bogota, RECKLESS are a Colombian speed metal band formed in 2019 by vocalist/guitarist W. Metalbringer. He was soon joined by bassist Jawbreaker, who brings a solid & heavy foundation to their compositions; drummer Rites666, who drives the band's frantic pace; and guitarist Spitfire, who complements the main riffing with blistering, passionate solos. With a solid foundation of Judas Priest, Accept, Running Wild, Slayer, Exodus, and Mercyful Fate, RECKLESS soon made their public debut with the two-song Relentless Assault / Prisoner single. Through those influences, the quartet displayed a distinct synthesis of thrash metal propulsion and classic heavy metal melodicism, arriving at a style of speed metal that's timeless and fresh.
Now, RECKLESS burst forth with a full display of their powers and potential, the debut album Sharp Magick Steel. Almost too perfectly titled, Sharp Magick Steel is a cruising and chrome-encased blast of judiciously tight aggression and invigorating, streamlined songwriting. RECKLESS here invoke their namesake by pushing the pedal to the literal metal, pumping pistons and pushing each of these eight songs forward with a locomotive thrust, but it's equally the deceptively patient execution which makes Sharp Magick Steel cut so thoroughly: these four metal warriors are totally in control, and they make it look – and sound – almost too easy. And, from cover art (courtesy of Velio Josto) on to the authentically vintage production, RECKLESS rage like it's 1988!
Fans of the aforementioned as well as classic Annihilator, Jag Panzer, Artillery, and Germany's Paradox are wholeheartedly encouraged to taste RECKLESS' Sharp Magick Steel!

DVP 273 Savage – Glory Riders LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Germany's SAVAGE, Glory Riders, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Hailing from Bavaria, SAVAGE formed in 2019 and promptly began solidifying their aesthetic. Then a trio, SAVAGE's sound remained firmly within the 1980s, and specifically on the darker and more dangerous side of the Sunset Strip – namely W.A.S.P. and early Mötley Crüe. The first sinful fruit was borne with their self-titled debut EP, which was recorded at the end of 2021 and then self-released during the following summer. Strictly DIY from mixing and mastering to promotion and distribution, Savage showed that SAVAGE had the fire already raging: word of mouth spread worldwide, the record nearly sold out, and work had already begun on their debut full-length!
Now with the addition of rhythm guitarist Alex "Axel" Warrior, SAVAGE have at least developed into the (fuck-like-a) beast they always aimed for, and are prepared to deliver a bound-to-be-classic debut album: Glory Riders. Almost presciently titled, Glory Riders soon becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of dirty and raw metal – or, as the band rightly liken it, MEAN HEAVY METAL. From sound and spirit on down to production and overall attitude, SAVAGE have the sleaziest side of classic American metal down COLD...or, should that be "fiery"? Indeed, even with the categorically cruising mid-tempo at which they move, SAVAGE positively ooze energy every single second here; hooks and heaviness take equal weight, and there's just the right amount of spaciousness here (ala W.A.S.P.'s nigh-untouchable opening trio of albums) to lend moodiness and mystery to the band's stadium-ready bravura. Neither flashy nor rudimentary, Glory Riders is simply stripped-down and muscular where it needs to be, keeping emphasis on the songwriting (and solos!) and letting SAVAGE's irresistible attitude take hold.
Without hyperbole, SAVAGE have hereby thrown down the gauntlet for any band, ever, attempting to invoke the sound & spirit of the aforementioned glory years of W.A.S.P., and Mötley Crüe. Further references include classic Twisted Sister, early Lizzy Borden, Halloween, Impaler, and even Coup d'état-era Plasmatics, but one listen to Glory Riders and you'll be convinced that these still-young gods are the REAL fucking DEAL!

DVP 274 Venator -Paradiser ... extended MLP/MCD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to repress VENATOR's debut ep Paradiser on MLP, MCD and cassette format.
Austria has many a exciting new talents in traditional metal, one of them being VENATOR! Paradiser features killer, era-authentic artwork reminiscent of Mausoleum Records' mid-'80s heyday and is VENATOR's entry with three moody 'n' melodic tracks which have a subtly anthemic quality; just as equally, one can feel the chill of night blow across Paradiser. The uniquely retro-futuristic production simply accentuates the atmospheric push and pull.
For the repress, VENATOR recorded three additional raw tracks, one new original as well as two cover tunes.

DVP 279 Kontact – Full Contact LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KONTACT's highly anticipated debut album, Full Contact, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Borne out of metal and bred for the purpose of learning, The Alien (ex-Blackrat) conceived of KONTACT with then-bandmate Sven Nilson (Antichrist [Sweden], ex-Mystik). A surrogate cult of memberz was necessitated by the great dying of 2020AD, during which The Alien was imprisoned in its home continent of "Canada," where the group yet persistz. Joined by Matt B1257+12Z (Traveler) and Morh Morf Xela (Hrom) on guitarz, as well as a yet-unidentified force "Unknown" (Chieftain) on drumz, KONTACT began broadcasting obscure and ancient signalz throughout the underground, influenced by the mythic teachingz of Manilla Road, Accept, Master's Hammer, and otherz.
Now finally ready for transmission, Full Contact is KONTACT's primum opus, a compendium of stellar hymnz meant to hasten the arrival of the world beyond. Bent backwardz yet strangely (or eerily) approachable, Full Contact inhabits a neon-hazed utopia/dystopia where sleaze metal fuses DNA with tech-thrash – where busyness and commerce collide in resplendent sci-fi dayglo. "Weird" and "wild" are merely human wordz to describe KONTACT's highly idiosyncratic approach, but to them, such loaded terms exist in star-planes far, far from their orbit. Rather, the eight clusters of crushing & collapsing tonez and robot/reptilian vocalz – in other words, eight "songs" – flow with a finesse that seems second nature; hookz are thus immediate, but not always easy. KONTACT make this metal for themselvez, and you listen. You might then take on a transformation: an astral vampire, an emperor of dreams, a bloodchild, a watcher at the edge of time, or simply one into heavy leather. All is possible here, as infinite as the stained-glass synthz percolating across the album. Either way, you WILL feel the force of Full Contact head on...or head off!

DVP 281 Boundless Chaos – Sinister Upheaval LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BOUNDLESS CHAOS' highly anticipated debut album, Sinister Upheaval, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Germany, the land ever brimming with ancient thrash metals, BOUNDLESS CHAOS was begotten in the year of 2017 when M.F., P.K, T.B., and M.J. heaved bloody deathrash straight up from the ashes of hellfire. With a brutal barrage of drums, slashing guitars, and throbbing bass-lines, they unapologetically worship the sound of the old. In 2019, E.M. completed the force. Now whole, BOUNDLESS CHAOS have been spitting the hellish gospel of chaos, upheaval, fire, and antifascism across an EP in 2020 and then two splits in 2020 – one with Idle Ruin, the second with fellow Germans Reign in Blood.
Still, the best was yet to come, and it's now arrived in BOUNDLESS CHAOS' debut album, Sinister Upheaval. Aptly titled, Sinister Upheaval is a ravaging onslaught of deathened thrash built upon a blazing foundation of early Dark Angel, Possessed, Texas' Devastation, Sepultura's Schizophrenia, and of course, Sodom's Persecution Mania (and even Agent Orange!). Here, BOUNDLESS CHAOS stick to their tried 'n' true formula, but simply maximize the muscle and tighten the execution; when graced with a well-rounded (yet requisitely dirty) production, the result is nothing short of powerful. And adding to the CHAOS is Malte Gericke (Sijjin, ex-Necros Christos), who does guest vocals on "Guillotine." No gimmicks, no modernity, no non-metal influences – just straightforward & straight-ahead THRASH METAL from the unholy years of 1986 and '87, torched to a crisp, and set to conflagrate YOU!

DVP 282 Heavy Sentence – Warriors of Madness 7″
DYING VICTIMS is proud to present a new 7" EP from HEAVY SENTENCE titled Warriors of Madness.
It's been nearly three years from their celebrated Bang to Rights debut album, but HEAVY SENTENCE are back with DYING VICTIMS for a quick-hitting and heavily satisfying 7" titled Warriors of Madness. Featuring three brand-new & exclusive tracks, Warriors of Madness maintains all the charm of that first full-length – deceptively energetic mid-tempo HEAVY METAL roughened up by the spectre of punk, much like those early days of the NWOBHM – but switches gears slightly by "slicking up" that street-level throb with a production style that's thick and clean and yet somehow dirtier than the already exquisitely dirty Bang to Rights. As expected, either way, HEAVY SENTENCE keep proceedings as anthemic as ever, with the first two tracks storming & strutting like early '80s Motörhead. But the price of admission is more than worth it for the B-side, "Give Yourself to the Night": a moody "epic" at five minutes, it stalks like a midnight vampire, beckoning and commanding in equal measure. Join these Warriors of Madness post-haste!

DVP 283 Iron Curtain – Savage Dawn LP/CD/T-Shirt
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present IRON CURTAIN's highly anticipated fifth album, Savage Dawn, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
For nearly 20 years now, Spanish metal inquisition IRON CURTAIN have been stalwart defenders of the faith. With a discography that includes four full-lengths and twice as many EPs, splits, and demos, IRON CURTAIN's ever-sturdy sound was forged in the fires of the early '80s: largely nodding to the eternal Motörhead as well as Tank, but also Canadian gods like Exciter and Razor, to the Teutonic might of early Iron Angel and Grave Digger, to Scandinavian gods OZ and Heavy Load, to cult American icons Abattoir and Savage Grace, and the shores of Britannia with the likes of Diamond Head, Raven, and Girlschool. And with the DYING VICTIMS release of career highpoint Danger Zone in 2019, that sound's become even more rocking than ever.
After a quick-hitting mini-album (again through DYING VICTIMS) titled Metal Gladiator whereby the band presented the new alongside re-recordings of the old, IRON CURTAIN return to assume their throne with Savage Dawn. Doubtlessly (and vividly!) displayed by its photographic cover art courtesy of Daniel Rabandan, Savage Dawn is indeed a new dawn for IRON CURTAIN: a concerted return to their rough-hewn roots, only spit-shined with the gleaming chrome that's come to define them in recent years. Thus does Savage Dawn exhibit a unique dichotomy: their ancient metal's more juiced-up than ever, but the craggy edges come through in the content while the form is powerfully professional – "slick" only in the very best sense, with mixing by the esteemed Javi Félez (Teitanblood, Destroyer 666, Graveyard) and mastering by the equally esteemed Jaime Gómez Arellano (Ghost, Satan, Mayhem) providing that punch. As such, across these ten new tracks (anthemically presaged by "Rattlesnake" on Metal Gladiator, as vintage four-piece Motörheaded as it comes) do we hear IRON CURTAIN throw the likes of classic Riot, Jaguar, and Running Wild into their by-now-characteristic blender, with leads and melodies more soaring than ever.
Cool songs, catchy choruses, straightforward riffs, and pure HEAVY METAL with all killers and no fillers – what more do you need?! IRON CURTAIN drop the biggest sledgehammer with Savage Dawn!

DVP 284 Toxikull – Under the Southern Light LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TOXIKULL's highly anticipated third album, Under the Southern Light, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Born and raised under the hot & blinding southern light of Portugal's capital Lisbon, TOXIKULL took off in 2016 and have backed down since: a tumult from the Atlantic, rising to take the world by storm. With two full-lengths, an EP, and a collection of singles, full of incredible guestsfrom bands such as Skull Fist and Crystal Viper under their belts, TOXIKULL's taunting, fearless attitude has conquered the European heavy metal underground. Now, after speedmetal-intensive Cursed and Punished in 2019 (which DYING VICTIMS later released on vinyl), they now shift gears with Under the Southern Light, present amore mature, melodic, yet thankfully still-rough version of themselves.
Stomping and strutting with absolutely authentic mid/late '80s swagger, Under the Southern Light is an unabashed throwback to the era where heavy metal ruled the airwaves and arenas alike. Some might've doubted whether such Sunset Stripping sounds could come from TOXIKULL after the all-pistons-pumping speed metal overdrive of Cursed and Punished, but the ten tracks comprising the 41-minute Under the Southern Light are all anthems in the making: larger than life, heavy and spacious, moody and dynamic. Gleaming with their brightest chrome yet, TOXIKULL here invoke the quintessential likes of '80s Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Judas Priest, Accept, Saxon, Manowar, Black Sabbath, WASP, Ratt, Scorpions, Picture, Germany's Warlock, America's Icon, France's Sortilege, and many more. But, instead of pastiche or hero worship, Under the Southern Light is more so a tableau of TOXIKULL's personal experiences in the world, whereby they rearrange all these classic archetypes into a laser-focused theme on the duality of living in the Southern lands of Europe, in places with so much light, with so much joy and potential, but at the same time, with such scarcity of opportunities, no future, and infested with shadows. "The light that feeds is the same light that burns," says vocalist Lex Thunder. "And the light that makes you dream is the same light that chains you down and keeps you close to the shadows."
Bright & burning-hot metal pumping blood from a (metal) heart of darkness, Under the Southern Light takes the party down dark, dirty back streets...dare you drink with TOXIKULL?

DVP 285 Coltre – To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present COLTRE's highly anticipated debut album, To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
COLTRE are a heavy metal band based in London, formed in the summer of 2019 when lead guitarist Daniel Sweed and guitarist/vocalist Marco Stamigna crossed paths at the same university. Bassist Max Graves, who also attended the same university, soon joined the lineup. The trio's shared passion and creative ideas laid the groundwork for their debut release, the EP Under The Influence.
Between September and November of 2019, COLTRE diligently worked on the EP, initially developed as a four-track mini-album. In December of the same year, they released the single "Crimson Killer." Under The Influence made its debut in February 2020, initially in a self-released CD format, a true DIY edition. The EP's success caught the attention of DYING VICTIMS, who sought to collaborate with the band. This collaboration resulted in the re-release of Under The Influence in multiple formats, including an additional track (the song "Fight"), in July. The year 2020 concluded with the addition of Edoardo Mariotti to the lineup, taking on the role of drummer for the band.
With the quartet now complete, COLTRE embarked on the arrangement and development of songs that would ultimately become their debut album, To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes. If the moody metallic majesty of Under The Influence was a portent of things to come, then To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes takes everything to the next level. COLTRE's charismatic sound is still in place, thankfully – dark 'n' mysterious riffs, vigorously galloping rhythms, epic-yet-direct compositions, and the sage-like pipes of Stamigna atop it all – but there's crucial distinctions here. For one, there's a crisper sound at play across the LP; the recording's sharper yet still rustic, perhaps a bit more hard rock in style than the NWOBHM of its predecessor. As such, the band suitably sound even livelier and more locked-in than before, with Mariotti's many-armed drumming in particular guiding COLTRE to new destinations (and dungeons, and battlefields!). Further, their songwriting still hovers around six minutes per track, but everything feels more compact without losing the latent epicness. Most crucially, there's a strut and swagger across To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes that's IMPOSSIBLE to deny, such on the Tubeway Army-spoofing "Friends Aren't Electric."
One could still be mistaken for thinking COLTRE were some unearthed relic from the original NWOBHM movement, so hot-rockin' is their swords-aloft surge, evoking high fantasy and urban grit in equal measure, but most importantly retaining that pivotal rock 'n' roll thrust Thin Lizzy largely gifted to that movement. But, with increased dynamic interplay and impossibly stronger songs, To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes wipes the slate clean and casts COLTRE as new "old" monarchs in the making!

DVP 275 Ritvs – Der Tag Naht LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RITVS' striking debut album, Der Tag Naht, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
RITVS may be new in name, but their history starts earlier. Under the preceding band name Vvlva, the band released a couple albums and a couple EPs of studiously vintage early hard rock / proto-metal. And the German quintet continue this backwards-looking path with the new moniker RITVS as a "new" old approach: exquisitely rustic late '70s sounds spanning hard rock, prog, AOR, and even late-days krautrock.
This exciting new chapter begins with Der Tag Naht, RITVS' debut under that moniker. This time, the Aschaffenburg band decided to only sing in their native German, which both pushes their lyrical boundaries and has a significant impact on their sound. The mostly narrative lyrics take the listener into dark and abysmal worlds that sometimes remind us more of our own world than what we wish for, much like so many great works of '70s science fiction did. Dazzling and dynamic in equal measure, the roaring Hammond organ shapes RITVS' characteristic sound, which equally rocks and rolls (and even ripples). In interaction with the warm, mossy guitar – both in sound and style – numerous licks and solo sequences are created, which are carried by a groovy rhythm section. During the album's songwriting, the band put special emphasis on combining catchiness with progressive elements, marrying heft and heaviness with poignant and emotive passages. Truly, across the entirety of Der Tag Naht is it clearly audible that all five members took their time to find the right (rustic) sounds, always reminding of the great late 70's without sounding dusty or tired. In fact, if there's one way to characterize the album, it's alive.
Earthdogs who thrill to the likes of late '70s Rainbow, Blue Öyster Cult, and Yes or even contemporaneous Kansas and Prof Wolfff, prepare to time-travel with RITVS' Der Tag Naht!

DVP 276 Freeways – True Bearing LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly demanded repress of True Bearings, the debut album by Canadian FREEWAYS, on CD, 12" vinyl and music cassette formats.
CANADIAN HEAVY ROCK...WITH A NWOBHM VIBE! Indeed, Freeways are a breath of fresh, northern air. Honoring the mystical undercurrents of so much classic Canadian rock of the past, the quartet's foundation is firm upon the hot-rockin' dynamics of '70s giants like UFO, Thin Lizzy, and April Wine along with the idiosyncratic twists of the unsung heroes of the NWOBHM and pub rock eras. It's a sound that's immediately familiar but also immediately engaging, so richly rendered are these soul-stirring odes to wanderlust, melancholia, and "Survival" itself.
Originally released in 2020 on Canadian Temple of Mystery Records, the album quickly sold out and together with their many great live performances, cemented FREEWAYS as one of the most exciting acts in the contemporary heavy rock scene.
True Bearings roves wild terrain, its push 'n' pull stirs the spirit, but never belabors the point; each of these seven streamlined songs is anchored to a plaintive, poignant hook, tastefully embellished with subtly delicate touches that proves Freeways as masters of mood. The quartet's interplay is untouchable here, given that their chosen idiom is the more-or-less hard(er) end of rock, exhibiting class and poise every step of the way, but perhaps no better evinced than on the near-seven-minute vamp of "Time is No Excuse." Thus, space and shade AND rocking hard and free coexist in the Freeways world, and the 37-minute True Bearings is a highway worth cruising time and time again.

DVP 277 Bunker 66 – Portraits of Dismay CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Portraits of Dismay, a special singles compilation by Italian BUNKER 66, on CD format.
The Italian three-piece is known as a prolific work horse, clocking in at currently 4 full length albums. It is however their many split releases with infamous underground hordes that showcase their addiction and dedication to the underground. Graced with an incredible artwork by Claudio Scialabba, Bunker 66's direction is made clear from the get go. Evil and raw blackened speed/thrash is what listeners can expect from them.
Since most of these 7" and 12" splits have been available on vinyl only until now, this 18 songs and 12 years spanning CD compilation has been inevitable.

DVP 278 Firmament / Midnight Prey – Gathered Under Open Skies MLP/MCD(https://dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/20231213_165916-872x1024.jpg)(https://dying-victims.de/wp-content/uploads/20231214_184745.jpg)
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Gathered Under Open Skies, a special split mini-album between Germany's FIRMAMENT and MIDNIGHT PREY, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Gathered Under Open Skies is indeed a special gathering, bringing together two forces that have become something like flagship bands for DYING VICTIMS: old "newcomers" FIRMAMENT and the reunited MIDNIGHT PREY. This special mini-album includes two brand-new tracks from both bands, totaling 23 minutes of vintage rock/metal moodiness.
FIRMAMENT continue their ascent following their widely acclaimed We Don't Rise, We Just Fall debut earlier this year, having largely risen from the ashes of speed metallers Tension but bringing a different approach with them. Here, with new vocalist Marco, the five-piece further flesh out that velvety vision, taking turn-of-the-'80s hard rock (and even a touch of equally early deathrock) down roads much more melancholic and emotive. You might even shed a tear while rocking out to their two fistbangers here; wherever you wanna go, FIRMAMENT will take you there. And tears may've been shed when MIDNIGHT PREY initially called it a day in 2020, but as of last year, the power-trio are back in action and, this summer, released a two-song tape to pick up right where they left off with their modern-classic Uncertain Times LP. Those two songs are provocatively titled – "Black Cat" and "Sword and Shield" – and between them, MIDNIGHT PREY keep that clean-yet-dirty surge that's equal parts punk, rock, and metal but totally unique. And considering the epic lengths these two tracks go to, the future suggests more splendors to come...
Graced with gorgeous cover art, Gathered Under Open Skies is a borderless realm where hard rockers, punks, metalheads, and general weirdoes can all roam. FIRMAMENT and MIDNIGHT PREY care nothing for genre limitations, and together invite you into their idyll.

DVP 271 Drifter – Beggars Ransom 7″
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Beggars Ransom, a new two-track 7" by DRIFTER from the USA.
ATTENTION PANHANDLERS...!
Just when you thought the dust had settled, Drifter return, whipping the very horse they rode in on. And this time, they're fit to drink the whole well dry.
Best return the other horses to the stable... Or better yet, just put 'em down.
Yes, Drifter plays for keeps with their new 7'' single entitled Beggars Ransom, featuring two classy cuts sure to leave you dead in your tracks. Think what you want about today's musical landscape, but Drifter are one of the few bands playing with a full deck.
With no fixed address, Drifter are staking claim from the US territories – which may come as a surprise upon listening. Not many bands are so capably selling NWOBHM by the pound, but Drifter seems to have, for whatever reason, gotten the best exchange rate. Not a pale imitation neither – true fans of the genre will hear right away.

DVP 280 Stress Angel – Punished by Nemesis LP/CD
On March 15, 2024, Dying Victims Productions & Stygian Black Hand will unchain the highly anticipated sophomore full-length from Stress Angel, "Punished by Nemesis". LP out in US on Stygian Black Hand and EU on Dying Victims Productions. CD out worldwide on Dying Victims Productions.
With the flames of the Bursting Church still ravaging the minds and turntables of its parishioners, Stress Angel throw another scalding 40 minutes of maniacal deathrash into the blaze!
At the forefront, the songwriting on "Punished by Nemesis" demonstrates the maturation (or putrefaction) of Stress Angel's already established sound, driving deeper into the twisted corridors of death, thrash, and first wave black metal. Weaving within, between, and beyond these classifications, the countless riffs on this album solidify Stress Angel's reputation as not only wizened practitioners of the craft, but innovators as well.
Leading the punishment, drummer/vocalist Manny Sores continues his campaign of old metal piledriving with a thunderous performance that forces heads to bang and eventually roll (as a privileged few who have witnessed his mastercraft live can attest), while his tormented screams expose sickening truths about those who don the cloth and preach the holy word. Session soldier Hank S. Blackyard also returns on bass with his now-signature grim and gristly tone, beefing up the already muscular strings laid out with a butcher's precision by guitarist Nicolai Orifice. All the while, the warm, familiar production evokes a feeling not unlike what one may have experienced dropping the needle on "Mental Funeral" or putting a dub of "Anno Domini" in the tape deck for the first time 35 years ago.
Hear the Jericho trumpet blare to herald "Punished by Nemesis", a necessary evil for those who crave to be punished by authentic thrashing metal of death. In their own words, Stress Angel state, "'Punished By Nemesis' aims only to torment and abuse your already demented existence". Recommended for fans of Autopsy, Tormentor, Old, and Aura Noir.

DVP 286 Aardvark – Tough Love LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia's AARDVARK, Tough Love, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Not to be confused with the cult '70s prog band, Australia's AARDVARK are a classic heavy metal quartet hailing from Melbourne. Born from a desire to bring the masses together with the biting forces of power and honesty, AARDVARK aim to prove there is weight to sincerity and strength in vulnerability. The band's twin-guitar attack keeps fists pumping with tough-yet-melodic riffs, while their thunderous rhythm section drives the tank forward with unyielding brawn.
Formed in 2021, AARDVARK burst onto the Australian heavy metal scene seemingly out of nowhere with an increasingly packed weekly residency at the iconic Tote Hotel in August 2023, followed quickly by a sold-out launch show for their debut 7" single. The AARDVARK hasn't slowed down since, with a blistering run of local shows and upcoming supports in 2024 for Cirith Ungol and Riot City.
Now that tank is ready to plow down the gates with the debut album Tough Love. With its cover art encapsulating all their central themes, Tough Love proves the full potential of AARDVARK and that they band is good on their word. With nine tracks clocking in at 44 minutes, Tough Love is a compendium of songs that present a tough, masculine vulnerability, a mixture of personal anthems and mythical journeys that offer a pertinent contrast of escapism and self-reflection. With a sound somewhere between NWOBHM and traditional heavy metal, Tough Love aims to impact with a mix of mid-tempo rockers, poignant ballads, and attacking speed.
Reverential to the past but by no means blinkered by it, AARDVARK inject their own personality and panache into 1983-vintage heavy metal: moody, melodic, dynamic, and dashing. If Conan the Barbarian could shed a tear, he'd do it listening to Tough Love!

DVP 287 Armagh – Exlamation Po!nt LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ARMAGH's highly anticipated third album, Exclamation Po!nt, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2012, ARMAGH are a heavy metal force based in Satanic City Warsaw and Necropolis Navis. Mixing classic heavy metal from the '70s and '80s with proto-black metal, ARMAGH are the creators of First Wave Only movement, which unites several Polish bands delivering old-school metal – among them, labelmates GALLOWER and SEXMAG but also Torpor, Wielki Mrok, and R.I.P. – with primal severity in their sound and message.
Truly, ARMAGH are a maniac maniac's band, idiosyncratic mainlining such noble influences as Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Motörhead, KISS, Manilla Road, early Slayer and Megadeth, W.A.S.P, Bathory, Dissection, Running Wild, KAT, and the NWOBHM in general into something authentically rustic and effortlessly unique. But it was their second album, Serpent Storm – originally self-released in 2022, but then released on vinyl the next year by DYING VICTIMS – where they had their breakout moment. A true record collector's record, Serpent Storm displayed its power and personality at every turn, coming from an alien place – one where Battle Cry, Another Perfect Day, Haunting the Chapel, Chinatown, Under the Sign of the Black Mark, and Born Again all simultaneously play in perfect, hellish harmony – but evincing a wild and weird but never belabored alchemy that was simply peerless.
Now, two years later, ARMAGH stir up their cauldron once again with their third album, Exclamation Po!nt. This record features a wholly reconstructed lineup, with founding frontman/guitarist Galin Soulreaper now joined by fellow guitarist Vikk Vandall, bassist Tom CultCommander, and drummer Al Atom Smasher. As such, it's a far more collaborative effort than the largely Soulripper-written Serpent Storm, with each new member adding their own fiery flair to an altogether less-immediate but much-more-mysterious album: Tom CultCommander's spacey & hypnotic bass work (a Hawkwind influence is detectable across the record, as is a faint whiff of Rush), Vandall's impulsive & spring-loaded leads, and the jazzy, Bill Ward-esque drumming of Atom Smasher. Less is indeed MORE here!
Just as wild and weird as its mighty predecessor but perhaps eating subtler, sweeter fruits, the deliberately demonstrative Exclamation Po!nt dives deeply into moodier and mustier waters, sounding impossibly older than even Serpent Storm. It's all unmistakably ARMAGH, but if LP#3 proves anything (and loudly), it's that these Polish maniacs are operating at the height of their powers – and, again, as a full band this time. No dynamic is too severe, no construct too off-kilter, no speed shunned: with greater emphasis on harmony vocals and Soulreaper's lonely-warlock tones guiding the listener into a misty, mystical wonder-world, Exclamation Po!nt weaves a plaintive-yet-powerful spell that traverses the whole spectrum of human experience. And perhaps it's there that ARMAGH in general and Exclamation Po!nt in particular excels – that it's undeniably human in construction and execution, but its journey (and destination) is otherworldly to the splendorous extreme. Or, cutting out the fancy words, what we have here is heartfelt, handmade heavy metal: no modern, no trends, no way!
No longer the "sleeper hit of the year," ARMAGH are prepared to punctuate "best of 2024" conversations already with Exclamation Po!nt!

DVP 279 Kontact – Full Contact LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KONTACT's highly anticipated debut album, Full Contact, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Borne out of metal and bred for the purpose of learning, The Alien (ex-Blackrat) conceived of KONTACT with then-bandmate Sven Nilson (Antichrist [Sweden], ex-Mystik). A surrogate cult of memberz was necessitated by the great dying of 2020AD, during which The Alien was imprisoned in its home continent of "Canada," where the group yet persistz. Joined by Matt B1257+12Z (Traveler) and Morh Morf Xela (Hrom) on guitarz, as well as a yet-unidentified force "Unknown" (Chieftain) on drumz, KONTACT began broadcasting obscure and ancient signalz throughout the underground, influenced by the mythic teachingz of Manilla Road, Accept, Master's Hammer, and otherz.
Now finally ready for transmission, Full Contact is KONTACT's primum opus, a compendium of stellar hymnz meant to hasten the arrival of the world beyond. Bent backwardz yet strangely (or eerily) approachable, Full Contact inhabits a neon-hazed utopia/dystopia where sleaze metal fuses DNA with tech-thrash – where busyness and commerce collide in resplendent sci-fi dayglo. "Weird" and "wild" are merely human wordz to describe KONTACT's highly idiosyncratic approach, but to them, such loaded terms exist in star-planes far, far from their orbit. Rather, the eight clusters of crushing & collapsing tonez and robot/reptilian vocalz – in other words, eight "songs" – flow with a finesse that seems second nature; hookz are thus immediate, but not always easy. KONTACT make this metal for themselvez, and you listen. You might then take on a transformation: an astral vampire, an emperor of dreams, a bloodchild, a watcher at the edge of time, or simply one into heavy leather. All is possible here, as infinite as the stained-glass synthz percolating across the album. Either way, you WILL feel the force of Full Contact head on...or head off!

DVP 281 Boundless Chaos – Sinister Upheaval LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BOUNDLESS CHAOS' highly anticipated debut album, Sinister Upheaval, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Germany, the land ever brimming with ancient thrash metals, BOUNDLESS CHAOS was begotten in the year of 2017 when M.F., P.K, T.B., and M.J. heaved bloody deathrash straight up from the ashes of hellfire. With a brutal barrage of drums, slashing guitars, and throbbing bass-lines, they unapologetically worship the sound of the old. In 2019, E.M. completed the force. Now whole, BOUNDLESS CHAOS have been spitting the hellish gospel of chaos, upheaval, fire, and antifascism across an EP in 2020 and then two splits in 2020 – one with Idle Ruin, the second with fellow Germans Reign in Blood.
Still, the best was yet to come, and it's now arrived in BOUNDLESS CHAOS' debut album, Sinister Upheaval. Aptly titled, Sinister Upheaval is a ravaging onslaught of deathened thrash built upon a blazing foundation of early Dark Angel, Possessed, Texas' Devastation, Sepultura's Schizophrenia, and of course, Sodom's Persecution Mania (and even Agent Orange!). Here, BOUNDLESS CHAOS stick to their tried 'n' true formula, but simply maximize the muscle and tighten the execution; when graced with a well-rounded (yet requisitely dirty) production, the result is nothing short of powerful. And adding to the CHAOS is Malte Gericke (Sijjin, ex-Necros Christos), who does guest vocals on "Guillotine." No gimmicks, no modernity, no non-metal influences – just straightforward & straight-ahead THRASH METAL from the unholy years of 1986 and '87, torched to a crisp, and set to conflagrate YOU!

DVP 282 Heavy Sentence – Warriors of Madness 7″
DYING VICTIMS is proud to present a new 7" EP from HEAVY SENTENCE titled Warriors of Madness.
It's been nearly three years from their celebrated Bang to Rights debut album, but HEAVY SENTENCE are back with DYING VICTIMS for a quick-hitting and heavily satisfying 7" titled Warriors of Madness. Featuring three brand-new & exclusive tracks, Warriors of Madness maintains all the charm of that first full-length – deceptively energetic mid-tempo HEAVY METAL roughened up by the spectre of punk, much like those early days of the NWOBHM – but switches gears slightly by "slicking up" that street-level throb with a production style that's thick and clean and yet somehow dirtier than the already exquisitely dirty Bang to Rights. As expected, either way, HEAVY SENTENCE keep proceedings as anthemic as ever, with the first two tracks storming & strutting like early '80s Motörhead. But the price of admission is more than worth it for the B-side, "Give Yourself to the Night": a moody "epic" at five minutes, it stalks like a midnight vampire, beckoning and commanding in equal measure. Join these Warriors of Madness post-haste!

DVP 289 Pagan Altar – Judgement of the Dead LP/CD
DVP 290 Pagan Altar – The Time Lord LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to reissue PAGAN ALTAR'S cult releases, Judgement of the Dead and The Time Lord, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
While the band is working hard on the upcoming new album, these reissues kick off the collaboration between the British Doom Metal pioneers PAGAN ALTAR and Dying Victims Productions. Based on the beautifully crafted releases on Canada's Temple of Mystery, these important recordings will finally return into circulation.
Originally recorded back in 1978-79, "The Time Lord" features Pagan Altar's earliest recordings. Two of these flawlessly executed tracks are from a 24-track recording session, and the rest of the album are early, atmospheric versions of songs that were later re-recorded on Judgement of the Dead. This LP includes a long-lost, never-heard before version of "Night Rider", from the same era as the other songs! This is pure doom metal sorcery.
Originally recorded in 1982 during the NWOBHM movement, Pagan Altar's debut album, Judgement of the Dead, is a timeless classic of macabre heavy/doom metal centered around magic, witchcraft, and the occult. This holy grail album is one of the purest, most magical records that were ever written, and had a tremendous influence on the heavy/doom metal scene.

DVP 291 Freeways – Dark Sky Sanctuary LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Canada's FREEWAYS, Dark Sky Sanctuary, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
FREEWAYS are comprised of four old friends from the peripheral fringes of the greater Toronto area who decided to channel their shared love of dollar-bin Canadian hard rock records and poorly ripped recordings of NWOBHM they'll never afford into a nearly decades-long pursuit of seeing how far they can play from home and how many drink tickets they can accumulate at a single gig. So far, that plan has produced a handful thrilling of short-lengths (on both tape and 7" format) and an absolutely stunning debut album, True Bearings, released in 2020 by the late/great Temple of Mystery Records.
And True Bearings was presciently titled: this was the sound of FREEWAYS hitting a fever pitch of hard rock glory, plaintive and poignant and positively bleeding pathos every step of the rough, wild way. That widely celebrated debut LP took the band overseas again that spring, where they were even-more-warmly received by rivetheads old and young. With the untimely closing of said label and their growing throng of fans in Europe, DYING VICTIMS stepped in to reissue True Bearings last year, setting the stage for their hotly anticipated follow-up.
At last, it's here in the form of Dark Sky Sanctuary. Whereas the debut's cover art (partly) forecasted its contents – cold and cutting on the surface, with a wealth of warmth lurking within that figurative RV – so does the cover art of Dark Sky Sanctuary similarly suggest its sonic arc. The effervescent elan of FREEWAYS is in full force here, except that that's daubed in hues darker for the band and perhaps a bit thornier as a result. On Dark Sky Sanctuary, the quartet's fueled by a fire here that sees them both exploring their busier & more aggressive side as equally as their stripped-back & pensive one. It's difficult to truly qualify the latter as "poppier," but it's not impossible to view the moodier side of turn-of-the-'80s radio rock through FREEWAYS' unique, ever-engaging lens.
Somehow rougher and more polished, Dark Sky Sanctuary is a sonic safe haven for those who still hold hope for heavy rock as an authentically emotional artform. FREEWAYS are fully recommended for fans of Blue Öyster Cult, Wishbone Ash, Praying Mantis...and FREEWAYS!

DVP 292 Lady Beast – Lady Beast II LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to reissue LADY BEAST's cult second album, Lady Beast II, on vinyl LP format.
Since 2009, LADY BEAST have been flying the flag for refined HEAVY METAL. The band hail from the Steel City of Pittsburgh, forming with firm influences ranging from Motörhead, Dio, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Mercyful Fate. From there, LADY BEAST have weaved their own unique style of metal with silky-yet-sharp harmonizing guitars and the soaring, rally-the-warriors vocals of frontwoman Deborah Levine. All the while, they've retained their blue-collar roots but have never forgotten the majesty of metal in its earliest, most classic form: fantasy, magic, epic adventure, and of course ANTHEMS!
While the quintet have released four full-lengths to date, it was LADY BEAST's second album, 2015's Lady Beast II, which could be viewed as their "breakout" moment. Released like their self-titled debut on their own Cobra Cabana Records, the original version of Lady Beast II was a vinyl edition limited to only 250 copies; the CD version followed later on Infernö Records, which closed a couple years ago. Thus, Lady Beast II has been criminally out of print, and DYING VICTIMS will now rectify that with a new vinyl version featuring remastered sound and updated cover art. Whatever year you experience it, LADY BEAST's second album is a stormer, strutting and galloping with equal might, as instantly-hummable riffs prop up all these anthems-to-be whilst evincing a narrative flow that's the quintessence of swords & sorcery. Of course, Levine's vocals exude passion and power, pure & total EMOTION, and her performance here helped put LADY BEAST atop of the keep-it-true pack. Raise your sword again or for the first time with this new vinyl version of Lady Beast II!"

This new entity hailing from Sweden consists of veterans of the underground scene including members from acts such as Antichrist, Insane and Witchgrave. SPASMS aim for a horror-inflicting, blood-chilling raw and ugly heavy metal sound. The 3 tracks plus instrumental take you to the cemetery, invoke voodoo spells and introduce you to a maniacal midnight slasher.

DVP 283 Iron Curtain – Savage Dawn LP/CD/T-Shirt
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present IRON CURTAIN's highly anticipated fifth album, Savage Dawn, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
For nearly 20 years now, Spanish metal inquisition IRON CURTAIN have been stalwart defenders of the faith. With a discography that includes four full-lengths and twice as many EPs, splits, and demos, IRON CURTAIN's ever-sturdy sound was forged in the fires of the early '80s: largely nodding to the eternal Motörhead as well as Tank, but also Canadian gods like Exciter and Razor, to the Teutonic might of early Iron Angel and Grave Digger, to Scandinavian gods OZ and Heavy Load, to cult American icons Abattoir and Savage Grace, and the shores of Britannia with the likes of Diamond Head, Raven, and Girlschool. And with the DYING VICTIMS release of career highpoint Danger Zone in 2019, that sound's become even more rocking than ever.
After a quick-hitting mini-album (again through DYING VICTIMS) titled Metal Gladiator whereby the band presented the new alongside re-recordings of the old, IRON CURTAIN return to assume their throne with Savage Dawn. Doubtlessly (and vividly!) displayed by its photographic cover art courtesy of Daniel Rabandan, Savage Dawn is indeed a new dawn for IRON CURTAIN: a concerted return to their rough-hewn roots, only spit-shined with the gleaming chrome that's come to define them in recent years. Thus does Savage Dawn exhibit a unique dichotomy: their ancient metal's more juiced-up than ever, but the craggy edges come through in the content while the form is powerfully professional – "slick" only in the very best sense, with mixing by the esteemed Javi Félez (Teitanblood, Destroyer 666, Graveyard) and mastering by the equally esteemed Jaime Gómez Arellano (Ghost, Satan, Mayhem) providing that punch. As such, across these ten new tracks (anthemically presaged by "Rattlesnake" on Metal Gladiator, as vintage four-piece Motörheaded as it comes) do we hear IRON CURTAIN throw the likes of classic Riot, Jaguar, and Running Wild into their by-now-characteristic blender, with leads and melodies more soaring than ever.
Cool songs, catchy choruses, straightforward riffs, and pure HEAVY METAL with all killers and no fillers – what more do you need?! IRON CURTAIN drop the biggest sledgehammer with Savage Dawn!

DVP 284 Toxikull – Under the Southern Light LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TOXIKULL's highly anticipated third album, Under the Southern Light, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Born and raised under the hot & blinding southern light of Portugal's capital Lisbon, TOXIKULL took off in 2016 and have backed down since: a tumult from the Atlantic, rising to take the world by storm. With two full-lengths, an EP, and a collection of singles, full of incredible guestsfrom bands such as Skull Fist and Crystal Viper under their belts, TOXIKULL's taunting, fearless attitude has conquered the European heavy metal underground. Now, after speedmetal-intensive Cursed and Punished in 2019 (which DYING VICTIMS later released on vinyl), they now shift gears with Under the Southern Light, present amore mature, melodic, yet thankfully still-rough version of themselves.
Stomping and strutting with absolutely authentic mid/late '80s swagger, Under the Southern Light is an unabashed throwback to the era where heavy metal ruled the airwaves and arenas alike. Some might've doubted whether such Sunset Stripping sounds could come from TOXIKULL after the all-pistons-pumping speed metal overdrive of Cursed and Punished, but the ten tracks comprising the 41-minute Under the Southern Light are all anthems in the making: larger than life, heavy and spacious, moody and dynamic. Gleaming with their brightest chrome yet, TOXIKULL here invoke the quintessential likes of '80s Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Judas Priest, Accept, Saxon, Manowar, Black Sabbath, WASP, Ratt, Scorpions, Picture, Germany's Warlock, America's Icon, France's Sortilege, and many more. But, instead of pastiche or hero worship, Under the Southern Light is more so a tableau of TOXIKULL's personal experiences in the world, whereby they rearrange all these classic archetypes into a laser-focused theme on the duality of living in the Southern lands of Europe, in places with so much light, with so much joy and potential, but at the same time, with such scarcity of opportunities, no future, and infested with shadows. "The light that feeds is the same light that burns," says vocalist Lex Thunder. "And the light that makes you dream is the same light that chains you down and keeps you close to the shadows."
Bright & burning-hot metal pumping blood from a (metal) heart of darkness, Under the Southern Light takes the party down dark, dirty back streets...dare you drink with TOXIKULL?

DVP 285 Coltre – To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present COLTRE's highly anticipated debut album, To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
COLTRE are a heavy metal band based in London, formed in the summer of 2019 when lead guitarist Daniel Sweed and guitarist/vocalist Marco Stamigna crossed paths at the same university. Bassist Max Graves, who also attended the same university, soon joined the lineup. The trio's shared passion and creative ideas laid the groundwork for their debut release, the EP Under The Influence.
Between September and November of 2019, COLTRE diligently worked on the EP, initially developed as a four-track mini-album. In December of the same year, they released the single "Crimson Killer." Under The Influence made its debut in February 2020, initially in a self-released CD format, a true DIY edition. The EP's success caught the attention of DYING VICTIMS, who sought to collaborate with the band. This collaboration resulted in the re-release of Under The Influence in multiple formats, including an additional track (the song "Fight"), in July. The year 2020 concluded with the addition of Edoardo Mariotti to the lineup, taking on the role of drummer for the band.
With the quartet now complete, COLTRE embarked on the arrangement and development of songs that would ultimately become their debut album, To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes. If the moody metallic majesty of Under The Influence was a portent of things to come, then To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes takes everything to the next level. COLTRE's charismatic sound is still in place, thankfully – dark 'n' mysterious riffs, vigorously galloping rhythms, epic-yet-direct compositions, and the sage-like pipes of Stamigna atop it all – but there's crucial distinctions here. For one, there's a crisper sound at play across the LP; the recording's sharper yet still rustic, perhaps a bit more hard rock in style than the NWOBHM of its predecessor. As such, the band suitably sound even livelier and more locked-in than before, with Mariotti's many-armed drumming in particular guiding COLTRE to new destinations (and dungeons, and battlefields!). Further, their songwriting still hovers around six minutes per track, but everything feels more compact without losing the latent epicness. Most crucially, there's a strut and swagger across To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes that's IMPOSSIBLE to deny, such on the Tubeway Army-spoofing "Friends Aren't Electric."
One could still be mistaken for thinking COLTRE were some unearthed relic from the original NWOBHM movement, so hot-rockin' is their swords-aloft surge, evoking high fantasy and urban grit in equal measure, but most importantly retaining that pivotal rock 'n' roll thrust Thin Lizzy largely gifted to that movement. But, with increased dynamic interplay and impossibly stronger songs, To Watch With Hands To Touch With Eyes wipes the slate clean and casts COLTRE as new "old" monarchs in the making!

DVP 293 Lucifuge – Hexensabbat LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated sxith album of Germany's LUCIFUGE, Hexensabbat, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2016, LUCIFUGE have been steadily perfect an addicting style of blackened speed metalpunk, all guided by the iron fist of mainman Equinox. Come 2021's fourth full-length Infernal Power, Equinox expanded LUCIFUGE to a full lineup, and it paid off in spades: the band's first album under the banner of DYING VICTIMS capped this signature sound with power and aplomb, exuding a new professionalism that somehow sounded dirtier than ever.
However, it was 2023's Monoliths of Wrath where LUCIFUGE further spit-shined their sound and took it in a newer but no-less-parallel direction: classic, ripping-FAST thrash of '80s gods Sodom, Kreator, Exodus, and of course Slayer. Thankfully, LUCIFUGE keep that sonic shift going with their sixth full-length, Hexensabbat. Ditching more its predecessor's complex song structures, Hexensabbat heaves toward the gates of Hell with a greasy gallop that brings back a bit of the black while honoring the nether-realms of still-stuck-in-the-'80s thrash and speed metal. True, those aforementioned gods still hold a place in LUCIFUGE's current sound, but more so can one detect the likes of Exciter, Razor, Iron Angel, and even later '80s Gang Green, the Exploited, and Crumbsuckers. Put another way, if Monoliths of Wrath was spiritually akin to a Combat Records release, then Hexensabbat would definitely come out on Combat Core, so straightforward and rancorous is its all-pistons-pumping surge. Plus, more than a bit of LUCIFUGE's old-school grit is back in full force, which makes the album's slightly melodic-yet-malevolent riffing sound majestic – and, most importantly, not render Hexensabbat a total retro retread.
Leaner, meaner, and keeping the 1987 faith alive, LUCIFUGE command you to honor the Hexansabbat!

DVP 294 Hextar – Doomsayer LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXTAR's highly anticipated debut album, Doomsayer, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from the trad-metal hotbed of Italy, HEXTAR were formed in November 2018 by the hands of Marco Scattolin (guitar), Emiliano Zinà (bass, then also backing vocals), and Andrea Feltrin (drums). Shortly after, Edoardo Loreggian joined and sang on the self-titled debut EP, released in April 2020 amidst the first Covid Lockdowns. Edoardo left during the summer of 2020 due to stylistic differences, and with Emiliano now on vocals, the band released the single "Keep Our Flame Alive" during February of 2021. The title would prove prescient, as HEXTAR the band kept working on writing their first full-length, the then-to-be-titled Doomsayer, which would begin production during September 2022. Shortly after the drum recordings, the band had to part ways with Andrea due to personal issues. They then decided to keep working on the album behind the scenes while looking for a replacement, which came in the form of Amedeo Paolini, who joined in March 2023. The production of the album finally came to a close in October 2023, when HEXTAR were also joined by a long-sought second guitarist, Niccolò Giacometti.
At last here, Doomsayer is a big & boisterous blast of classic metal heroism. Ever since their inception, HEXTAR aimed at writing a style of power metal reminiscent of the genre's early days. From early Helloween to likewise-early Blind Guardian, the inspirations can be heard aplenty across Doomsayer, but HEXTAR are nothing if not true heavy metal maniacs, and thus will one find plenty more traditional metal-oriented elements across the album. For those whose hearts similarly beat true, this debut album will tread some familiar territory, but territory that's explored with power and personality, charisma and catchiness. Influences aside, which can't be cataloged as easily as naming a couple foundational names of the genre, HEXTAR's ultimate goal is to craft songs which can be simultaneously anthemic and laced with just enough complexity, pushing and pounding forward to song structures that are unexpected and varied but never nonsensical. Similarly, Zinà's vocals display a wide range of note choices and timbres whilst remaining focused on heavy metal heroism; indeed, a great deal of the magic and machismo of Doomsayer comes down to his going-for-it throat. Nevertheless, HEXTAR are truly a full unit here, playing their hearts out together like a band of brothers, a brigade of warriors who wield fantastical guitar solos like dread swords.
A veritable blast from the past that's thankfully set to slay the present, HEXTAR arrive on a plume of dragon fire with Doomsayer!

DVP 295 Critical Defiance – The Search Won't Fall LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Critical Defiance's highly anticipated third album, The Search Won't Fall... , on vinyl LP format. Unspeakable Axe Records is taking care of the CD edition.
The Chilean metal force known as Critical Defiance has something for every thrash fan out there. Not in the sense of being homogenized and generic, but in their alchemical and nearly magical melding of blitzkrieg tempos, dizzying technicality, aggressive shouts and gang vocals, and–rarest of all for a post-1990 thrash act–a healthy dose of actual, memorable melody. Now about to drop their third full-length like a bomb from a warplane, they have added a new element to the mix: just a taste of the eerie melancholy and harsh melodrama of black metal.
Their release schedule has been nearly as fast as their music, with the debut (Misconception) coming in 2019, and its follow-up (No Life Forms) in 2022. They have let even less time elapse from then until this new platter's arrival, taking line-up changes in stride and pushing forward relentlessly regardless. The addition of Mauricio Toledo on guitar (just prior to their previous album) has pushed their music in new directions. That black metal aspect–some tremelo riffing, some blastbeats, bits of a distinctly new melodic sensibility–lends the album an updated feeling that sets it apart from its predecessors, while by no means abandoning the thrash foundation that has served them so well. All of this ambition is well-served by a terrific production job that balances just the right amount of rawness and polish. Three albums in, Critical Defiance are poised to deliver their most ferocious work yet. Angry yet uplifting, full of the spirit of true metal both old and new, it's a record that only these guys could make.

DVP 280 Stress Angel – Punished by Nemesis LP/CD
On March 15, 2024, Dying Victims Productions & Stygian Black Hand will unchain the highly anticipated sophomore full-length from Stress Angel, "Punished by Nemesis". LP out in US on Stygian Black Hand and EU on Dying Victims Productions. CD out worldwide on Dying Victims Productions.
With the flames of the Bursting Church still ravaging the minds and turntables of its parishioners, Stress Angel throw another scalding 40 minutes of maniacal deathrash into the blaze!
At the forefront, the songwriting on "Punished by Nemesis" demonstrates the maturation (or putrefaction) of Stress Angel's already established sound, driving deeper into the twisted corridors of death, thrash, and first wave black metal. Weaving within, between, and beyond these classifications, the countless riffs on this album solidify Stress Angel's reputation as not only wizened practitioners of the craft, but innovators as well.
Leading the punishment, drummer/vocalist Manny Sores continues his campaign of old metal piledriving with a thunderous performance that forces heads to bang and eventually roll (as a privileged few who have witnessed his mastercraft live can attest), while his tormented screams expose sickening truths about those who don the cloth and preach the holy word. Session soldier Hank S. Blackyard also returns on bass with his now-signature grim and gristly tone, beefing up the already muscular strings laid out with a butcher's precision by guitarist Nicolai Orifice. All the while, the warm, familiar production evokes a feeling not unlike what one may have experienced dropping the needle on "Mental Funeral" or putting a dub of "Anno Domini" in the tape deck for the first time 35 years ago.
Hear the Jericho trumpet blare to herald "Punished by Nemesis", a necessary evil for those who crave to be punished by authentic thrashing metal of death. In their own words, Stress Angel state, "'Punished By Nemesis' aims only to torment and abuse your already demented existence". Recommended for fans of Autopsy, Tormentor, Old, and Aura Noir.

DVP 286 Aardvark – Tough Love LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia's AARDVARK, Tough Love, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Not to be confused with the cult '70s prog band, Australia's AARDVARK are a classic heavy metal quartet hailing from Melbourne. Born from a desire to bring the masses together with the biting forces of power and honesty, AARDVARK aim to prove there is weight to sincerity and strength in vulnerability. The band's twin-guitar attack keeps fists pumping with tough-yet-melodic riffs, while their thunderous rhythm section drives the tank forward with unyielding brawn.
Formed in 2021, AARDVARK burst onto the Australian heavy metal scene seemingly out of nowhere with an increasingly packed weekly residency at the iconic Tote Hotel in August 2023, followed quickly by a sold-out launch show for their debut 7" single. The AARDVARK hasn't slowed down since, with a blistering run of local shows and upcoming supports in 2024 for Cirith Ungol and Riot City.
Now that tank is ready to plow down the gates with the debut album Tough Love. With its cover art encapsulating all their central themes, Tough Love proves the full potential of AARDVARK and that they band is good on their word. With nine tracks clocking in at 44 minutes, Tough Love is a compendium of songs that present a tough, masculine vulnerability, a mixture of personal anthems and mythical journeys that offer a pertinent contrast of escapism and self-reflection. With a sound somewhere between NWOBHM and traditional heavy metal, Tough Love aims to impact with a mix of mid-tempo rockers, poignant ballads, and attacking speed.
Reverential to the past but by no means blinkered by it, AARDVARK inject their own personality and panache into 1983-vintage heavy metal: moody, melodic, dynamic, and dashing. If Conan the Barbarian could shed a tear, he'd do it listening to Tough Love!

DVP 287 Armagh – Exclamation Po!nt LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ARMAGH's highly anticipated third album, Exclamation Po!nt, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2012, ARMAGH are a heavy metal force based in Satanic City Warsaw and Necropolis Navis. Mixing classic heavy metal from the '70s and '80s with proto-black metal, ARMAGH are the creators of First Wave Only movement, which unites several Polish bands delivering old-school metal – among them, labelmates GALLOWER and SEXMAG but also Torpor, Wielki Mrok, and R.I.P. – with primal severity in their sound and message.
Truly, ARMAGH are a maniac maniac's band, idiosyncratic mainlining such noble influences as Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Motörhead, KISS, Manilla Road, early Slayer and Megadeth, W.A.S.P, Bathory, Dissection, Running Wild, KAT, and the NWOBHM in general into something authentically rustic and effortlessly unique. But it was their second album, Serpent Storm – originally self-released in 2022, but then released on vinyl the next year by DYING VICTIMS – where they had their breakout moment. A true record collector's record, Serpent Storm displayed its power and personality at every turn, coming from an alien place – one where Battle Cry, Another Perfect Day, Haunting the Chapel, Chinatown, Under the Sign of the Black Mark, and Born Again all simultaneously play in perfect, hellish harmony – but evincing a wild and weird but never belabored alchemy that was simply peerless.
Now, two years later, ARMAGH stir up their cauldron once again with their third album, Exclamation Po!nt. This record features a wholly reconstructed lineup, with founding frontman/guitarist Galin Soulreaper now joined by fellow guitarist Vikk Vandall, bassist Tom CultCommander, and drummer Al Atom Smasher. As such, it's a far more collaborative effort than the largely Soulripper-written Serpent Storm, with each new member adding their own fiery flair to an altogether less-immediate but much-more-mysterious album: Tom CultCommander's spacey & hypnotic bass work (a Hawkwind influence is detectable across the record, as is a faint whiff of Rush), Vandall's impulsive & spring-loaded leads, and the jazzy, Bill Ward-esque drumming of Atom Smasher. Less is indeed MORE here!
Just as wild and weird as its mighty predecessor but perhaps eating subtler, sweeter fruits, the deliberately demonstrative Exclamation Po!nt dives deeply into moodier and mustier waters, sounding impossibly older than even Serpent Storm. It's all unmistakably ARMAGH, but if LP#3 proves anything (and loudly), it's that these Polish maniacs are operating at the height of their powers – and, again, as a full band this time. No dynamic is too severe, no construct too off-kilter, no speed shunned: with greater emphasis on harmony vocals and Soulreaper's lonely-warlock tones guiding the listener into a misty, mystical wonder-world, Exclamation Po!nt weaves a plaintive-yet-powerful spell that traverses the whole spectrum of human experience. And perhaps it's there that ARMAGH in general and Exclamation Po!nt in particular excels – that it's undeniably human in construction and execution, but its journey (and destination) is otherworldly to the splendorous extreme. Or, cutting out the fancy words, what we have here is heartfelt, handmade heavy metal: no modern, no trends, no way!
No longer the "sleeper hit of the year," ARMAGH are prepared to punctuate "best of 2024" conversations already with Exclamation Po!nt!

DVP 297 Lucifer's Hammer – Be And Exist LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fourth album of Chile's LUCIFER'S HAMMER, Be and Exist, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since their formation in 2012, Chile's LUCIFER'S HAMMER have been fighting the good fight for heavy metal, both at home and abroad. During their first years, the homeland wasn't as renown for traditional metals, but ever since their ascent to the international stage, LUCIFER'S HAMMER have wielded a wealth of influence on the wider Chilean heavy metal scene. Their Night Sacrifice demo in 2013 was their first public work, but it was the full-length Beyond the Omens debut in 2016 which really blew the doors open, reaping widespread acclaim and firmly establishing their trademark sound: pure & proud HEAVY METAL equally rooted in the '70s and '80s, with an air of anthemic memorability ala classic radio metal but never forgetting their underground roots. LUCIFER'S HAMMER really expanded upon that radio angle with the subsequent Victory is Mine mini-album a year later, showing darkness and versatility in equal measure. They further consolidated this sound with two more full-lengths, 2018's Time is Death and 2021's The Trip.
Now, longtime fans DYING VICTIMS step forth to raise high the banner of LUCIFER'S HAMMER with their fourth album, Be and Exist. The title is something of a clarion call for the Chileans: staying put in the '80s for years now, the band simply want to continue crafting true-as-steel HEAVY METAL that bangs the head as profoundly as it enflames the heart. Like an iron fist lined with velvet, there's a deceptively silky surge to Be and Exist that drives deepest into the heart of mid '80s metal, all the while pumping pistons patiently and powerfully. With leads moody and emotive and founding frontman / guitarist Hades' vocals ringing out through the night, across rain-soaked streets and through the back alleys, LUCIFER'S HAMMER here deliver a masterclass in mystery & atmosphere. The album's attention-grabbing cover art vividly illustrates the point, but the band are certainly tackling more cosmic matters here, and it fits perfectly with the classy classic metal across Be and Exist. At any one point, one can detect the likes of prime Dokken, Heavy Pettin', Diamond Head, Europe, Witch Cross, Virgin Steele, and even '80s KISS at their most metal – but the way these noble influences are rearranged and reformed into anthems is 100% LUCIFER'S HAMMER.
Indeed are LUCIFER'S HAMMER a band with a vision of the future, treading the metal boards for over a decade now with pure passion and hunger. Life doesn't come easy in South America, and so have they made their music the ideal stage where the hammer will fall with force to demonstrate all that's in their hearts. To Be an Exist – this is what heavy metal dreams are made of!

DVP 298 Angel Sword – World Fighter LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ANGEL SWORD's highly anticipated third album, World Fighter, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Helsinki, Finland's ANGEL SWORD formed in 2010 with the intent to play old-school heavy metal. And they get right to it with the too-perfectly titled demo Where We Are Going You Cannot Come demo later that year. Two EPs followed – 2013's Ripping the Heavens and 2015's The Midwinter Tapes – before their decisive debut album, Rebels Beyond the Pale, in 2016. Another perfectly titled recording, ANGEL SWORD's first full-length was a fresh breath of old air, finding some elusive (and deceptively laidback yet rough) landscape of late '70s heavy metal, subsequent NWOBHM, and adjacent early US power metal. Three years later followed the tighter and slightly more aggressive Neon City, expanding the band's still-'80s-bound gaze through a charmingly rustic retro-futurist lens. During all these years, ANGEL SWORD have opened for Manilla Road, Blitzkrieg, and Satan as well as playing such festivals as Metal Assault, Metalheadz Open Air, Storm Crusher warmup, and Up the Hammers warm-up. Oh, and along the way, Darkthrone's Fenriz thoroughly championed the band!
"Our goal in this age of soulless, overproduced modern metal is to re-summon the metal gods of old with a skull-crushing, vomit-inducing dose of rough-edged heavy metal," state ANGEL SWORD, and that's exactly what they do with World Fighter! It'd be easy to simply say that their third album is a fairly even balance between the first two albums and...well, it's kinda the truth! Sporting yet another amazing cover artwork, World Fighter brings the bathos and bravado right from its opening seconds, ANGEL SWORD sounding like true world fighters as they chug forward to their battle hymns. From there, nuance and shade – or, rather, just MOOD – become the watchwords as the quartet keep the thrust mostly mid-tempo, allowing their dark melodicism to fully take flight. And, while ANGEL SWORD never seem like they're in any hurry, the eight tracks of World Fighter are actually the band's most uptempo work yet; it's just that they're exuding such poise now that that pace feels deceptively relaxed, that big & brassy pulse coasting with coolness and heaviness. Put another way, the album's almost-uniformly balls-to-the-wall gait summons an effervescent energy – and maximum attitude. Truly, ANGEL SWORD are nothing if not engaging in their rough 'n' tumble, raise-the-swords charisma, becoming those very blue-collar ruffians you can really believe in. Coupled with a smoother, somewhat-shimmering style of production that still allows their intrinsic grit to "shine" through, World Fighter goes against all odds to become ANGEL SWORD's crowning achievement to date. All weekend warriors, enter their Church of Rock post-haste!

DVP 299 Vendel – Out In The Fields LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VENDEL's highly anticipated debut album, Out in the Fields, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
VENDEL are an epic heavy metal band hailing from Moscow, formed in 2015 by a group of friends who are all members of the local metal community. From the onset, their inspiration was taken from genuine NWOBHM and '80s doom metal as well as the history and archeology of the Dark Ages period, which serves as the strongest influence on the band's lore and their attendant lyrical and visual concepts. This combination – with a particular emphasis on the epic side of heavy metal ala classic Candlemass, Manilla Road, and Viking-era Bathory as equally as contemporary doom informed by the likes of the UK's Solistice and Russian heroes Scald – manifested in VENDEL's self-titled debut EP in 2017. Lyrically and aesthetically, there was a deep appreciation of the late Iron Age, also known as the "Vendel Era," and hence the band's moniker. They followed up that EP with another one, titled Dirge, in 2019, which included one new track as well as covers of Manilla Road and Saint Vitus. Also in 2019, VENDEL made their first live appearance outside Russia at the Riddle of Steel Fest, which made a huge impact on the band's next activity.
At long last, that "next activity" has manifested in VENDEL's debut album, Out in the Fields. While the band's first full-length comprises two songs rerecorded from their EPs – the first one's "Defender" and the title track to Dirge – this structure more so underlines where VENDEL are coming from and, with a suitably stage-setting intro segueing into the first track, then where they are going. Absolutely HUGE in sound and songwriting, atmosphere and execution, VENDEL here give a masterclass in EPIC heavy metal; "doomed," definitely, but there's energy to spare no matter the tempo, and thus do the four component tracks of Out in the Fields seemingly fly by in a flash. Make no mistake, the journey is vast in scale and arduous in terms of emotional reserves tapped, but the album is utterly engrossing each (HUGE) step of the way. Thankfully, VENDEL don't abandon their core sound but, rather, re-solidify it with bigger & better production, performances that dazzle in their technique yet hit hard with their physicality, and vocalist Alexey Goryachev absolutely spellbinding the listener with tales of heroism and death, particularly on the poignantly titled "Never Surrender." It all becomes the very definition of what a debut album should be.
Fans of the aforementioned as well as Solitude Aeternus, Atlantean Kodex, labelmates MEGATON SWORD, and even Tony Martin-era Black Sabbath, you are hereby commanded to bend the knee before VENDEL's Out in the Fields. NEVER SURRENDER!

DVP 289 Pagan Altar – Judgement of the Dead LP/CD
DVP 290 Pagan Altar – The Time Lord LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to reissue PAGAN ALTAR'S cult releases, Judgement of the Dead and The Time Lord, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
While the band is working hard on the upcoming new album, these reissues kick off the collaboration between the British Doom Metal pioneers PAGAN ALTAR and Dying Victims Productions. Based on the beautifully crafted releases on Canada's Temple of Mystery, these important recordings will finally return into circulation.
Originally recorded back in 1978-79, "The Time Lord" features Pagan Altar's earliest recordings. Two of these flawlessly executed tracks are from a 24-track recording session, and the rest of the album are early, atmospheric versions of songs that were later re-recorded on Judgement of the Dead. This LP includes a long-lost, never-heard before version of "Night Rider", from the same era as the other songs! This is pure doom metal sorcery.
Originally recorded in 1982 during the NWOBHM movement, Pagan Altar's debut album, Judgement of the Dead, is a timeless classic of macabre heavy/doom metal centered around magic, witchcraft, and the occult. This holy grail album is one of the purest, most magical records that were ever written, and had a tremendous influence on the heavy/doom metal scene.

DVP 291 Freeways – Dark Sky Sanctuary LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Canada's FREEWAYS, Dark Sky Sanctuary, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
FREEWAYS are comprised of four old friends from the peripheral fringes of the greater Toronto area who decided to channel their shared love of dollar-bin Canadian hard rock records and poorly ripped recordings of NWOBHM they'll never afford into a nearly decades-long pursuit of seeing how far they can play from home and how many drink tickets they can accumulate at a single gig. So far, that plan has produced a handful thrilling of short-lengths (on both tape and 7" format) and an absolutely stunning debut album, True Bearings, released in 2020 by the late/great Temple of Mystery Records.
And True Bearings was presciently titled: this was the sound of FREEWAYS hitting a fever pitch of hard rock glory, plaintive and poignant and positively bleeding pathos every step of the rough, wild way. That widely celebrated debut LP took the band overseas again that spring, where they were even-more-warmly received by rivetheads old and young. With the untimely closing of said label and their growing throng of fans in Europe, DYING VICTIMS stepped in to reissue True Bearings last year, setting the stage for their hotly anticipated follow-up.
At last, it's here in the form of Dark Sky Sanctuary. Whereas the debut's cover art (partly) forecasted its contents – cold and cutting on the surface, with a wealth of warmth lurking within that figurative RV – so does the cover art of Dark Sky Sanctuary similarly suggest its sonic arc. The effervescent elan of FREEWAYS is in full force here, except that that's daubed in hues darker for the band and perhaps a bit thornier as a result. On Dark Sky Sanctuary, the quartet's fueled by a fire here that sees them both exploring their busier & more aggressive side as equally as their stripped-back & pensive one. It's difficult to truly qualify the latter as "poppier," but it's not impossible to view the moodier side of turn-of-the-'80s radio rock through FREEWAYS' unique, ever-engaging lens.
Somehow rougher and more polished, Dark Sky Sanctuary is a sonic safe haven for those who still hold hope for heavy rock as an authentically emotional artform. FREEWAYS are fully recommended for fans of Blue Öyster Cult, Wishbone Ash, Praying Mantis...and FREEWAYS!

DVP 292 Lady Beast – Lady Beast II LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to reissue LADY BEAST's cult second album, Lady Beast II, on vinyl LP format.
Since 2009, LADY BEAST have been flying the flag for refined HEAVY METAL. The band hail from the Steel City of Pittsburgh, forming with firm influences ranging from Motörhead, Dio, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Mercyful Fate. From there, LADY BEAST have weaved their own unique style of metal with silky-yet-sharp harmonizing guitars and the soaring, rally-the-warriors vocals of frontwoman Deborah Levine. All the while, they've retained their blue-collar roots but have never forgotten the majesty of metal in its earliest, most classic form: fantasy, magic, epic adventure, and of course ANTHEMS!
While the quintet have released four full-lengths to date, it was LADY BEAST's second album, 2015's Lady Beast II, which could be viewed as their "breakout" moment. Released like their self-titled debut on their own Cobra Cabana Records, the original version of Lady Beast II was a vinyl edition limited to only 250 copies; the CD version followed later on Infernö Records, which closed a couple years ago. Thus, Lady Beast II has been criminally out of print, and DYING VICTIMS will now rectify that with a new vinyl version featuring remastered sound and updated cover art. Whatever year you experience it, LADY BEAST's second album is a stormer, strutting and galloping with equal might, as instantly-hummable riffs prop up all these anthems-to-be whilst evincing a narrative flow that's the quintessence of swords & sorcery. Of course, Levine's vocals exude passion and power, pure & total EMOTION, and her performance here helped put LADY BEAST atop of the keep-it-true pack. Raise your sword again or for the first time with this new vinyl version of Lady Beast II!"

DVP 300 Mean Mistreater – Razor Wire LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present worldwide CD and vinyl LP editions of MEAN MISTREATER's debut album, Razor Wire.
Formed in 2023, MEAN MISTREATER are a heavy metal band from Austin, Texas. Armed with heart-racing riffs and powerful vocals, they meld classic heavy metal with retro hard rock, inspired by bands like Chastain, Warlock, and W.A.S.P. In 2023, their debut single, "Bleeding The Night," was named "Metal's Song of the Summer" by Stereogum.com. Then, in early 2024, the band self-released their debut album, Razor Wire, featuring "Bleeding the Night" alongside seven other tracks.
An entirely DIY effort, Razor Wire now sees a worldwide vinyl edition courtesy of DYING VICTIMS, who were won over by MEAN MISTREATER's bruising & blue-collar metal. Right from its opening seconds, Razor Wire exudes excitement and good-fucking-times every step of the way. While undoubtedly early '80s traditional metal by nature, the quintet don't forget the hard rock foundation of so much early metal, and indeed ROCK OUT with the zip & zeal of prime Thin Lizzy and early Cirith Ungol. Indeed, that throwback nature isn't so much an affection as an overall attitude: the recording's warm and analog and fully HUMAN, never overloading the senses with sterile tones that are too much too often; the rhythm section provides the pounding pulse, steady and straightforward, but just as commandingly plays counterpart to the dazzling twin-axe attack; and frontwoman Janiece Gonzalez drives the point home with her gritty-yet-soulful voice, at times reminding of a young Suzi Quatro but always illustrating each song's inner drama with bluesy aplomb. And then, at a little less than a half hour, Razor Wire's over and it's time to hit the back alleys with it again!
Embodying that "American Metal" that Lizzy Borden sagely sang about so long ago, with no jingoism attached nor intended, MEAN MISTREATER fly the flag prouder than ever now with this new worldwide edition of Razor Wire!

DVP 301 Death Racer – From Gravel to Grave LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DEATH RACER's highly anticipated debut album, From Gravel to Grave, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Austria, DEATH RACER are nothing if not thorough. See, the idea for the band was born years ago while philosophizing during listening to Razor's "Deathrace." From there, a wellspring of inspiration followed – and the race was on!
DEATH RACER's debut demo, released in 2020, was appropriately titled Qualifying. Musically, their most important influence, maybe – rawness, straightforwardness, DRIVE – are the same qualities a racecar driver must possess. Without zero fucks given and a will to make devilish sacrifices at times, you were never able to hit the final laps back in the dangerous days of motorsports; a certain backwardness and nostalgia for those days is the most important ingredient overall for DEATH RACER. In their mind, post-apocalyptic / dystopian movies – with their totalitarian atmosphere and hostile approach against all life – are mirroring in perfect symbolism that of relentless racing.
And so they race forward, more relentless than ever, with their long-awaited debut album, From Gravel to Grave. Also perfectly titled, From Gravel to Grave presents DEATH RACER as an all-pistons-pumping runaway racecar, chassis gleaming but torched black with exhaust underneath, its very construction pushing the outer limits of safety before all the screws fall loose and a fiery wreck ensues. For sure, it's not difficult to spot the Austrians' influences, and they wouldn't have it any other way – they are transparent as they are thorough, to circle back to the earliest point – so therefore, there's the obligatory "High Speed Metal" of classic Razor as well as the comparable grit & grime of equally old, raw metal like earliest Slayer, Exciter, Bathory, Hungary's Tormentor, Bulldozer, true-metal Darkthrone, cult NWOBHM, Violent Force, and of course, erudite Teutonic thrash.
Still, it's how DEATH RACER revs this noble engine that matters most, not how familiar it is (because what ISN'T familiar now?!), and they sneak some nitrous into that engine in the form of hardcore punk attitude and otherworldly black metal atmosphere as well as some touches of chorused guitar from old deathrock. But again, From Gravel to Grave is thorough as it is (filthy) fun, so its lyrics deal with true incidents / accidents on the world's most demanding and terrifying racetracks ("Nordschleife," "Imola '94") as well as the terrors of "real life" inspired by newspaper articles ("C.F.S.O.D.C") or just plain fantasy ("Motormentor," "S.M. Death Worship") and daily struggles ("Inverted Crossroads," "Traumatized in Traffic Jam Ejection"). All told, filth and fury and FUN. DEATH RACER is at the wheel, and you're going From Gravel to Grave at 666 mph!

DVP 302 Demon Spell – Evil Nights MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DEMON SPELL's striking debut mini-album, Evil Nights, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
How would you feel if, during the night, while you're lying on your bed, something touches you in the dark? The air grows cold, their eyes emerge from darkness, and you feel your body tense. The shivers begin, shocked by horror, possessed by unholy force – you cannot escape from this hell. Now evil breaks loose and you're under a DEMON SPELL!
Such is the sonic sensation of DEMON SPELL's debut mini-album, Evil Nights. The Italian quartet may be name in name, but their sound is most definitely OLD. Among that lineup are such veterans as drummer Dario Casabona, who played with Italy's legendary Schizo for 20 years, and guitarist Francesco Bauso, who was a founding member stoner-doom titans Haunted. Along with vocalist Federico Fano and bassist Riccardo Liberti, DEMON SPELL bring forth HORROR and EVIL in purest '80s heavy metal form: obsessed maniacs who were born under the sign of the moon during terrifying nightmares and morbid rituals. Black-magic riffs, hellfire-burning drums, and soaring King Diamond-esque vocals from Fano telling untold tales from Hell and the beyond. Indeed, it's difficult to shake the early Mercyful Fate comparisons with Evil Nights, but when it's done with such blanching authenticity and eerie power, why fight it?! Of course, we could also invoke such names as '80s Satan's Host, Witch Cross, and even the almighty Death SS, but on evidence of the four songs presented here, DEMON SPELL are already on their way in stirring up a bewitching cauldron of nocturnal delights. Celebrate darkness and scream out heavy metal 'til your very last breath during these Evil Nights!

DVP 293 Lucifuge – Hexensabbat LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated sxith album of Germany's LUCIFUGE, Hexensabbat, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2016, LUCIFUGE have been steadily perfect an addicting style of blackened speed metalpunk, all guided by the iron fist of mainman Equinox. Come 2021's fourth full-length Infernal Power, Equinox expanded LUCIFUGE to a full lineup, and it paid off in spades: the band's first album under the banner of DYING VICTIMS capped this signature sound with power and aplomb, exuding a new professionalism that somehow sounded dirtier than ever.
However, it was 2023's Monoliths of Wrath where LUCIFUGE further spit-shined their sound and took it in a newer but no-less-parallel direction: classic, ripping-FAST thrash of '80s gods Sodom, Kreator, Exodus, and of course Slayer. Thankfully, LUCIFUGE keep that sonic shift going with their sixth full-length, Hexensabbat. Ditching more its predecessor's complex song structures, Hexensabbat heaves toward the gates of Hell with a greasy gallop that brings back a bit of the black while honoring the nether-realms of still-stuck-in-the-'80s thrash and speed metal. True, those aforementioned gods still hold a place in LUCIFUGE's current sound, but more so can one detect the likes of Exciter, Razor, Iron Angel, and even later '80s Gang Green, the Exploited, and Crumbsuckers. Put another way, if Monoliths of Wrath was spiritually akin to a Combat Records release, then Hexensabbat would definitely come out on Combat Core, so straightforward and rancorous is its all-pistons-pumping surge. Plus, more than a bit of LUCIFUGE's old-school grit is back in full force, which makes the album's slightly melodic-yet-malevolent riffing sound majestic – and, most importantly, not render Hexensabbat a total retro retread.
Leaner, meaner, and keeping the 1987 faith alive, LUCIFUGE command you to honor the Hexansabbat!

DVP 294 Hextar – Doomsayer LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXTAR's highly anticipated debut album, Doomsayer, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from the trad-metal hotbed of Italy, HEXTAR were formed in November 2018 by the hands of Marco Scattolin (guitar), Emiliano Zinà (bass, then also backing vocals), and Andrea Feltrin (drums). Shortly after, Edoardo Loreggian joined and sang on the self-titled debut EP, released in April 2020 amidst the first Covid Lockdowns. Edoardo left during the summer of 2020 due to stylistic differences, and with Emiliano now on vocals, the band released the single "Keep Our Flame Alive" during February of 2021. The title would prove prescient, as HEXTAR the band kept working on writing their first full-length, the then-to-be-titled Doomsayer, which would begin production during September 2022. Shortly after the drum recordings, the band had to part ways with Andrea due to personal issues. They then decided to keep working on the album behind the scenes while looking for a replacement, which came in the form of Amedeo Paolini, who joined in March 2023. The production of the album finally came to a close in October 2023, when HEXTAR were also joined by a long-sought second guitarist, Niccolò Giacometti.
At last here, Doomsayer is a big & boisterous blast of classic metal heroism. Ever since their inception, HEXTAR aimed at writing a style of power metal reminiscent of the genre's early days. From early Helloween to likewise-early Blind Guardian, the inspirations can be heard aplenty across Doomsayer, but HEXTAR are nothing if not true heavy metal maniacs, and thus will one find plenty more traditional metal-oriented elements across the album. For those whose hearts similarly beat true, this debut album will tread some familiar territory, but territory that's explored with power and personality, charisma and catchiness. Influences aside, which can't be cataloged as easily as naming a couple foundational names of the genre, HEXTAR's ultimate goal is to craft songs which can be simultaneously anthemic and laced with just enough complexity, pushing and pounding forward to song structures that are unexpected and varied but never nonsensical. Similarly, Zinà's vocals display a wide range of note choices and timbres whilst remaining focused on heavy metal heroism; indeed, a great deal of the magic and machismo of Doomsayer comes down to his going-for-it throat. Nevertheless, HEXTAR are truly a full unit here, playing their hearts out together like a band of brothers, a brigade of warriors who wield fantastical guitar solos like dread swords.
A veritable blast from the past that's thankfully set to slay the present, HEXTAR arrive on a plume of dragon fire with Doomsayer!

DVP 295 Critical Defiance – The Search Won't Fall LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Critical Defiance's highly anticipated third album, The Search Won't Fall... , on vinyl LP format. Unspeakable Axe Records is taking care of the CD edition.
The Chilean metal force known as Critical Defiance has something for every thrash fan out there. Not in the sense of being homogenized and generic, but in their alchemical and nearly magical melding of blitzkrieg tempos, dizzying technicality, aggressive shouts and gang vocals, and–rarest of all for a post-1990 thrash act–a healthy dose of actual, memorable melody. Now about to drop their third full-length like a bomb from a warplane, they have added a new element to the mix: just a taste of the eerie melancholy and harsh melodrama of black metal.
Their release schedule has been nearly as fast as their music, with the debut (Misconception) coming in 2019, and its follow-up (No Life Forms) in 2022. They have let even less time elapse from then until this new platter's arrival, taking line-up changes in stride and pushing forward relentlessly regardless. The addition of Mauricio Toledo on guitar (just prior to their previous album) has pushed their music in new directions. That black metal aspect–some tremelo riffing, some blastbeats, bits of a distinctly new melodic sensibility–lends the album an updated feeling that sets it apart from its predecessors, while by no means abandoning the thrash foundation that has served them so well. All of this ambition is well-served by a terrific production job that balances just the right amount of rawness and polish. Three albums in, Critical Defiance are poised to deliver their most ferocious work yet. Angry yet uplifting, full of the spirit of true metal both old and new, it's a record that only these guys could make.

DVP 297 Lucifer's Hammer – Be And Exist LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fourth album of Chile's LUCIFER'S HAMMER, Be and Exist, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since their formation in 2012, Chile's LUCIFER'S HAMMER have been fighting the good fight for heavy metal, both at home and abroad. During their first years, the homeland wasn't as renown for traditional metals, but ever since their ascent to the international stage, LUCIFER'S HAMMER have wielded a wealth of influence on the wider Chilean heavy metal scene. Their Night Sacrifice demo in 2013 was their first public work, but it was the full-length Beyond the Omens debut in 2016 which really blew the doors open, reaping widespread acclaim and firmly establishing their trademark sound: pure & proud HEAVY METAL equally rooted in the '70s and '80s, with an air of anthemic memorability ala classic radio metal but never forgetting their underground roots. LUCIFER'S HAMMER really expanded upon that radio angle with the subsequent Victory is Mine mini-album a year later, showing darkness and versatility in equal measure. They further consolidated this sound with two more full-lengths, 2018's Time is Death and 2021's The Trip.
Now, longtime fans DYING VICTIMS step forth to raise high the banner of LUCIFER'S HAMMER with their fourth album, Be and Exist. The title is something of a clarion call for the Chileans: staying put in the '80s for years now, the band simply want to continue crafting true-as-steel HEAVY METAL that bangs the head as profoundly as it enflames the heart. Like an iron fist lined with velvet, there's a deceptively silky surge to Be and Exist that drives deepest into the heart of mid '80s metal, all the while pumping pistons patiently and powerfully. With leads moody and emotive and founding frontman / guitarist Hades' vocals ringing out through the night, across rain-soaked streets and through the back alleys, LUCIFER'S HAMMER here deliver a masterclass in mystery & atmosphere. The album's attention-grabbing cover art vividly illustrates the point, but the band are certainly tackling more cosmic matters here, and it fits perfectly with the classy classic metal across Be and Exist. At any one point, one can detect the likes of prime Dokken, Heavy Pettin', Diamond Head, Europe, Witch Cross, Virgin Steele, and even '80s KISS at their most metal – but the way these noble influences are rearranged and reformed into anthems is 100% LUCIFER'S HAMMER.
Indeed are LUCIFER'S HAMMER a band with a vision of the future, treading the metal boards for over a decade now with pure passion and hunger. Life doesn't come easy in South America, and so have they made their music the ideal stage where the hammer will fall with force to demonstrate all that's in their hearts. To Be an Exist – this is what heavy metal dreams are made of!
– Regular edition on black vinyl, with noble embossed cover sleeve, insert, poster, sticker, post card and download code.
– Special edition on transparent blue inyl, with noble embossed cover sleeve, insert, poster, sticker, post card, download code and patch.
– CD edition with sticker and obi.

DVP 298 Angel Sword – World Fighter LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ANGEL SWORD's highly anticipated third album, World Fighter, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Helsinki, Finland's ANGEL SWORD formed in 2010 with the intent to play old-school heavy metal. And they get right to it with the too-perfectly titled demo Where We Are Going You Cannot Come demo later that year. Two EPs followed – 2013's Ripping the Heavens and 2015's The Midwinter Tapes – before their decisive debut album, Rebels Beyond the Pale, in 2016. Another perfectly titled recording, ANGEL SWORD's first full-length was a fresh breath of old air, finding some elusive (and deceptively laidback yet rough) landscape of late '70s heavy metal, subsequent NWOBHM, and adjacent early US power metal. Three years later followed the tighter and slightly more aggressive Neon City, expanding the band's still-'80s-bound gaze through a charmingly rustic retro-futurist lens. During all these years, ANGEL SWORD have opened for Manilla Road, Blitzkrieg, and Satan as well as playing such festivals as Metal Assault, Metalheadz Open Air, Storm Crusher warmup, and Up the Hammers warm-up. Oh, and along the way, Darkthrone's Fenriz thoroughly championed the band!
"Our goal in this age of soulless, overproduced modern metal is to re-summon the metal gods of old with a skull-crushing, vomit-inducing dose of rough-edged heavy metal," state ANGEL SWORD, and that's exactly what they do with World Fighter! It'd be easy to simply say that their third album is a fairly even balance between the first two albums and...well, it's kinda the truth! Sporting yet another amazing cover artwork, World Fighter brings the bathos and bravado right from its opening seconds, ANGEL SWORD sounding like true world fighters as they chug forward to their battle hymns. From there, nuance and shade – or, rather, just MOOD – become the watchwords as the quartet keep the thrust mostly mid-tempo, allowing their dark melodicism to fully take flight. And, while ANGEL SWORD never seem like they're in any hurry, the eight tracks of World Fighter are actually the band's most uptempo work yet; it's just that they're exuding such poise now that that pace feels deceptively relaxed, that big & brassy pulse coasting with coolness and heaviness. Put another way, the album's almost-uniformly balls-to-the-wall gait summons an effervescent energy – and maximum attitude. Truly, ANGEL SWORD are nothing if not engaging in their rough 'n' tumble, raise-the-swords charisma, becoming those very blue-collar ruffians you can really believe in. Coupled with a smoother, somewhat-shimmering style of production that still allows their intrinsic grit to "shine" through, World Fighter goes against all odds to become ANGEL SWORD's crowning achievement to date. All weekend warriors, enter their Church of Rock post-haste!

DVP 299 Vendel – Out In The Fields LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VENDEL's highly anticipated debut album, Out in the Fields, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
VENDEL are an epic heavy metal band hailing from Moscow, formed in 2015 by a group of friends who are all members of the local metal community. From the onset, their inspiration was taken from genuine NWOBHM and '80s doom metal as well as the history and archeology of the Dark Ages period, which serves as the strongest influence on the band's lore and their attendant lyrical and visual concepts. This combination – with a particular emphasis on the epic side of heavy metal ala classic Candlemass, Manilla Road, and Viking-era Bathory as equally as contemporary doom informed by the likes of the UK's Solistice and Russian heroes Scald – manifested in VENDEL's self-titled debut EP in 2017. Lyrically and aesthetically, there was a deep appreciation of the late Iron Age, also known as the "Vendel Era," and hence the band's moniker. They followed up that EP with another one, titled Dirge, in 2019, which included one new track as well as covers of Manilla Road and Saint Vitus. Also in 2019, VENDEL made their first live appearance outside Russia at the Riddle of Steel Fest, which made a huge impact on the band's next activity.
At long last, that "next activity" has manifested in VENDEL's debut album, Out in the Fields. While the band's first full-length comprises two songs rerecorded from their EPs – the first one's "Defender" and the title track to Dirge – this structure more so underlines where VENDEL are coming from and, with a suitably stage-setting intro segueing into the first track, then where they are going. Absolutely HUGE in sound and songwriting, atmosphere and execution, VENDEL here give a masterclass in EPIC heavy metal; "doomed," definitely, but there's energy to spare no matter the tempo, and thus do the four component tracks of Out in the Fields seemingly fly by in a flash. Make no mistake, the journey is vast in scale and arduous in terms of emotional reserves tapped, but the album is utterly engrossing each (HUGE) step of the way. Thankfully, VENDEL don't abandon their core sound but, rather, re-solidify it with bigger & better production, performances that dazzle in their technique yet hit hard with their physicality, and vocalist Alexey Goryachev absolutely spellbinding the listener with tales of heroism and death, particularly on the poignantly titled "Never Surrender." It all becomes the very definition of what a debut album should be.
Fans of the aforementioned as well as Solitude Aeternus, Atlantean Kodex, labelmates MEGATON SWORD, and even Tony Martin-era Black Sabbath, you are hereby commanded to bend the knee before VENDEL's Out in the Fields. NEVER SURRENDER!

DVP 303 Midnight Force – Severan LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MIDNIGHT FORCE's highly anticipated third album, Severan, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2016, Glasgow's MIDNIGHT FORCE are a heavy metal band that set out to follow in the footsteps of their heroes of old – US heavy metal, the NWOBHM movement, and '70s rock – as well as inject some fresh blood into the genre they love so much.
MIDNIGHT FORCE released their full-length debut, Dunsinane, in 2018 to much critical acclaim. DYING VICTIMS would release the cassette version later that year, and the band went on to play Brofest in Newcastle as well as support slots for the likes of High Spirits, Riot, and Ross the Boss in Glasgow and Angel Witch, Savage Master, and Riot City in Germany. Continuing that momentum, MIDNIGHT FORCE performed at other such notable festivals as Harder Than Steel Festival, Hell over Hammaburg, and Echoes from the Labyrinth in Crete as well as tours in Germany, Ireland, and the UK and shows in Paris, Athens, Marseille, and Madrid.
In October 2019, MIDNIGHT FORCE released their second album, Gododdin. Taking the elements of Dunsinane further – songwriting both heroic and melancholic (and even a bit folksy at times), hot-rockin' execution to push that bravado further, and a rustic atmosphere equally 1970s and medieval – Gododdin was exactly the sophomore record MIDNIGHT FORCE needed to both expand and focus their ancient aesthetic. Olde Worlde Heavy Metal this was, based on historical lore and myth: in many ways, the band had arrived.
After a two-year hiatus induced by restrictions on international travel and live shows, MIDNIGHT FORCE released a new single in September 2022 and returned to the stage. Meanwhile, the seeds of their third album were being planted – and at long last, they've blossomed into Severan. Bristling with energy somehow stoic and patient, fit to burst but brewing dark thoughts, Severan sees MIDNIGHT FORCE truly taking their influences into a realm entirely their own. Totaling nine songs across 46 minutes, Severan sounds HUGE yet intimate. Its scope is again historical, the songwriting hits frantic peaks and stern valleys, the execution is even sharper whilst evincing old-school grit, and their characteristic atmosphere is OLDER than ever. Indeed, MIDNIGHT FORCE are engagingly earnest in their sonic campaign – true metal never dies and lives eternally, unfazed by time and trends, and its champions carry a great weight upon their shoulders of leather & steel – but above all, the aesthetic signposts is superlative songwriting, and this Scottish-German band have delivered their most refined set of songs to date. Severan is transportive to the extreme!
Five years in the making, MIDNIGHT FORCE's Severan has arrived bearing banners of ancient metal myth & magick. Raise your swords and shields, those whose hearts beat True!

DVP 304 Warlust – Sol Invictvs In Vmbrae Satanae LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Germany's WARLUST, Sol Invictus In Umbrae Satanae, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Once one of the metal underground's best-kept secrets, WARLUST began their assault on the false in 2012. The title of their debut demo, 2014's Unholy Attack, said everything it needed to: here was blackthrashing METAL, steeped in the spirits of old and with genuinely evil blood coursing through its veins. However, it was 2017's Morbid Execution debut album where WARLUST first truly took flight – on burning wings of flame! More intense, more epic, more heavy fucking metal, Morbid Execution carried on the noble work started by founding fathers Desaster in their homeland and Deströyer 666, Zemial, and Aura Noir abroad. Still, more swords were to be sharpened, and they were held aloft in glorious might on WARLUST's second album (and first for DYING VICTIMS), 2020's Unearthing Shattered Philosophies. Unshackling themselves from a strict(er) blackthrash template, the band's songwriting blossomed on their sophomore assault alongside an increased understanding (and usage) of dynamics. Meanwhile, WARLUST's simultaneously cryogenic / burning-hot melodicism heighten comparisons to classic Dissection and Necrophobic and justifiably garnered a wealth of acclaim upon its release.
That noble trajectory continues, four years later, on WARLUST's Sol Invictus In Umbrae Satanae. That title serves as a clarion call for those who heed the call of Hell's heavy metal – eternal, unyielding, suffused with strength and vigor in times of terror and triumph, melancholy and malevolence. Taking a wider view of WARLUST's discography, this third album follows logically from its predecessor, making for an equally-cutting counterpart compared to the rougher outlier of the debut. Thankfully, then, little has changed in the band's arsenal – the narratives are epic but always urgent, the melodicism still surges and sways with maximum evil, muscular chops melded with blackest atmosphere – but if there's one uptick to be said for Sol Invictus In Umbrae Satanae, it's how HUGE the whole record sounds. Much of that can be attributed to the pronounced integration of marching mid-tempos as well as some tasteful clean tones, but from the brief intro to bristling opener "Serpent Crown" onward, WARLUST exude both a tightness and clarity of execution that altogether spell "classy," and all without any sacrifice of their original black/death fire. Put another way, with the palatably professional production pushing the album atop the uppermost echelon of nowadays evil metal, the Germans sound like they could command the biggest of stages, wielding their weapons of sonic sin with the composure and charisma befitting of total legends. But that legendry is still being written, and Sol Invictus In Umbrae Satanae is no doubt WARLUST's biggest & boldest script yet!

DVP 305 Bottomless/Witching Altar – Graveyard Thunder LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Graveyard Thunder, a special split album between BOTTOMLESS and WITCHING ALTAR, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Graveyard Thunder is aptly titled, for it brings together two cult doom metal bands, each offering three exclusive new tracks for a total of 40 minutes of bewitching, bottom-heavy sound. BOTTOMLESS are likely familiar to those following the dark deeds of DYING VICTIMS, for the Spaniards released their second album, The Banishing, through the label last summer. While they largely stick to their tried & true template of classic Candlemass, Trouble, and Solitude Aeternus, there's a certain silkiness to their entry here. "Soothing" is a strange misnomer, but not entirely inaccurate; slicked-up doom this is definitely NOT. Rather, one could maybe point to the almost-hushed haunting tones of Blue Öyster Cult's "Burning for You" and indeed even "Don't Fear the Reaper" as extrapolated touchstones for BOTTOMLESS' velvety rumble on their three tracks – a unique and ultimately awesome development from this increasingly potent bunch.
WITCHING ALTAR complement their split-mates well, for they're just as – if not more! – entrenched in the '70s and early '80s. And while the Brazilians had been on something of a hiatus until last year's surprise release of the Morningstar EP, any new WITCHING ALTAR material is cause for celebration. Thankfully, no great changes have been made to their sound: always and forever, Ozzy-era Black Sabbath and oldest Pentagram form their foundation, fleshed out by the likes of Witchfinder General, Pagan Altar, and Count Raven. Maniacal DOOM METAL traditionalism for traditional doom metal maniacs, WITCHING ALTAR nevertheless inject their own spooky personality to proceedings, particularly on the titanic "The Crypts Below." Graveyard Thunder rolls!

DVP 300 Mean Mistreater – Razor Wire LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present worldwide CD and vinyl LP editions of MEAN MISTREATER's debut album, Razor Wire.
Formed in 2023, MEAN MISTREATER are a heavy metal band from Austin, Texas. Armed with heart-racing riffs and powerful vocals, they meld classic heavy metal with retro hard rock, inspired by bands like Chastain, Warlock, and W.A.S.P. In 2023, their debut single, "Bleeding The Night," was named "Metal's Song of the Summer" by Stereogum.com. Then, in early 2024, the band self-released their debut album, Razor Wire, featuring "Bleeding the Night" alongside seven other tracks.
An entirely DIY effort, Razor Wire now sees a worldwide vinyl edition courtesy of DYING VICTIMS, who were won over by MEAN MISTREATER's bruising & blue-collar metal. Right from its opening seconds, Razor Wire exudes excitement and good-fucking-times every step of the way. While undoubtedly early '80s traditional metal by nature, the quintet don't forget the hard rock foundation of so much early metal, and indeed ROCK OUT with the zip & zeal of prime Thin Lizzy and early Cirith Ungol. Indeed, that throwback nature isn't so much an affection as an overall attitude: the recording's warm and analog and fully HUMAN, never overloading the senses with sterile tones that are too much too often; the rhythm section provides the pounding pulse, steady and straightforward, but just as commandingly plays counterpart to the dazzling twin-axe attack; and frontwoman Janiece Gonzalez drives the point home with her gritty-yet-soulful voice, at times reminding of a young Suzi Quatro but always illustrating each song's inner drama with bluesy aplomb. And then, at a little less than a half hour, Razor Wire's over and it's time to hit the back alleys with it again!
Embodying that "American Metal" that Lizzy Borden sagely sang about so long ago, with no jingoism attached nor intended, MEAN MISTREATER fly the flag prouder than ever now with this new worldwide edition of Razor Wire!

DVP 301 Death Racer – From Gravel to Grave LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DEATH RACER's highly anticipated debut album, From Gravel to Grave, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Austria, DEATH RACER are nothing if not thorough. See, the idea for the band was born years ago while philosophizing during listening to Razor's "Deathrace." From there, a wellspring of inspiration followed – and the race was on!
DEATH RACER's debut demo, released in 2020, was appropriately titled Qualifying. Musically, their most important influence, maybe – rawness, straightforwardness, DRIVE – are the same qualities a racecar driver must possess. Without zero fucks given and a will to make devilish sacrifices at times, you were never able to hit the final laps back in the dangerous days of motorsports; a certain backwardness and nostalgia for those days is the most important ingredient overall for DEATH RACER. In their mind, post-apocalyptic / dystopian movies – with their totalitarian atmosphere and hostile approach against all life – are mirroring in perfect symbolism that of relentless racing.
And so they race forward, more relentless than ever, with their long-awaited debut album, From Gravel to Grave. Also perfectly titled, From Gravel to Grave presents DEATH RACER as an all-pistons-pumping runaway racecar, chassis gleaming but torched black with exhaust underneath, its very construction pushing the outer limits of safety before all the screws fall loose and a fiery wreck ensues. For sure, it's not difficult to spot the Austrians' influences, and they wouldn't have it any other way – they are transparent as they are thorough, to circle back to the earliest point – so therefore, there's the obligatory "High Speed Metal" of classic Razor as well as the comparable grit & grime of equally old, raw metal like earliest Slayer, Exciter, Bathory, Hungary's Tormentor, Bulldozer, true-metal Darkthrone, cult NWOBHM, Violent Force, and of course, erudite Teutonic thrash.
Still, it's how DEATH RACER revs this noble engine that matters most, not how familiar it is (because what ISN'T familiar now?!), and they sneak some nitrous into that engine in the form of hardcore punk attitude and otherworldly black metal atmosphere as well as some touches of chorused guitar from old deathrock. But again, From Gravel to Grave is thorough as it is (filthy) fun, so its lyrics deal with true incidents / accidents on the world's most demanding and terrifying racetracks ("Nordschleife," "Imola '94") as well as the terrors of "real life" inspired by newspaper articles ("C.F.S.O.D.C") or just plain fantasy ("Motormentor," "S.M. Death Worship") and daily struggles ("Inverted Crossroads," "Traumatized in Traffic Jam Ejection"). All told, filth and fury and FUN. DEATH RACER is at the wheel, and you're going From Gravel to Grave at 666 mph!

DVP 302 Demon Spell – Evil Nights MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DEMON SPELL's striking debut mini-album, Evil Nights, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
How would you feel if, during the night, while you're lying on your bed, something touches you in the dark? The air grows cold, their eyes emerge from darkness, and you feel your body tense. The shivers begin, shocked by horror, possessed by unholy force – you cannot escape from this hell. Now evil breaks loose and you're under a DEMON SPELL!
Such is the sonic sensation of DEMON SPELL's debut mini-album, Evil Nights. The Italian quartet may be name in name, but their sound is most definitely OLD. Among that lineup are such veterans as drummer Dario Casabona, who played with Italy's legendary Schizo for 20 years, and guitarist Francesco Bauso, who was a founding member stoner-doom titans Haunted. Along with vocalist Federico Fano and bassist Riccardo Liberti, DEMON SPELL bring forth HORROR and EVIL in purest '80s heavy metal form: obsessed maniacs who were born under the sign of the moon during terrifying nightmares and morbid rituals. Black-magic riffs, hellfire-burning drums, and soaring King Diamond-esque vocals from Fano telling untold tales from Hell and the beyond. Indeed, it's difficult to shake the early Mercyful Fate comparisons with Evil Nights, but when it's done with such blanching authenticity and eerie power, why fight it?! Of course, we could also invoke such names as '80s Satan's Host, Witch Cross, and even the almighty Death SS, but on evidence of the four songs presented here, DEMON SPELL are already on their way in stirring up a bewitching cauldron of nocturnal delights. Celebrate darkness and scream out heavy metal 'til your very last breath during these Evil Nights!

DVP 306 Blackevil – Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BLACKEVIL's highly anticipated third album, Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Bavaria, BLACKEVIL have been forging fire since 2013. Their first demo, appropriately titled Hail the Cult, emerged from the darkness in 2015, auspiciously revealing a razor-sharp and endlessly salacious style of blackthrash. Come BLACKEVIL's debut album, 2017's The Ceremonial Fire, the power-trio up-ratcheted everything: more speed, more hooks, more black, more evil, more of MORE! Still, their breakout moment was yet to come. Under the auspices of DYING VICTIMS, BLACKEVIL released their second album, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire, in 2020. Here, the duo laid it all on the line, taking their noble roots – most obviously the German thrash Big Three of Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction as well as evil speed metal legends like Razor, Evil Angel, OZ, and Exciter – and assimilating them something that was uniquely their own and yet uniquely and purely HEAVY METAL.
Now, with third album Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament, BLACKEVIL take bolder steps into the epic that they only hinted at prior. If its predecessor began to transcend "blackthrash" categorization, Praise the Communion Fire wholly does so, canvassing a wider range of other stylistic sizes – late '90s melodic black metal, same-era blackened death, early '80s epic metal, and even a bit of NWOBHM that preceded that – that altogether result in something that's more unique than ever. The album's runtime of 46 minutes across seven tracks no doubt suggests that turn toward the epic, and the songwriting indeed goes everywhere but still with remarkable focus. Their chops, while thankfully evincing a human touch, support these daring constructs with finesse and a finely honed clarity. Leads and otherwise-more-melodic riffs lead the charge into the battlefield, buttressed by dynamics that are never boisterous for their own sake; rather, they're reigned in, allowing those riffs and rhythms to breathe, thus making the surges of energy all the more exciting. Put another way, BLACKEVIL aren't just another black(ened) metal band flying off the rails, imparting one extreme expression after another: there's actual class and craft at work here, honoring the ancient lore of heavy metal whilst adding to its lexicon. In that sense, the ceremonial reverence they exude truly supports the title Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament.
Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire reaped acclaim, but still left BLACKEVIL as a well-kept secret. Again blessed with (un)godly art by the masterful Paolo Girardi, Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament should once and for all establish BLACKEVIL as top-tier heavy metal blacksmiths!

DVP 307 Challenger – Force of Nature LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Slovenia's CHALLENGER, Force of Nature, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
The idea for Slovenia's CHALLENGER started in the summer of 2016, when Jakob Rejec (ex-VIGILANCE, Ambra) was challenged to play a foodball game with Urban Železnik (SkyEye), and if Urban won, they would form a band together. Unfortunately, they never played the game, but still decided to form a band.
For the first lineup, they invited Blaž Tanšek (Mist, ex-Teleport) to play the bass guitar and Mihaela Žitko (Mist) to join on the drums. Through some jam sessions, the first riffs were made, and in November, the band had their first gig under the name Irön Breed, combining the surnames of Jakob and Urban, with Rejec meaning "breeder" and Železnik meaning "iron." Soon after, they changed their name to CHALLENGER, and Mihaela left her drum duties to Toni Pleško (ex-Teleport, Natt, Đornata). In 2019, they released their first EP Turned to Dust to critical acclaim.
Corona times were not very fruitful for CHALLENGER, but in 2022, they came back with new blood on the bass guitar with Nika Krmelj (Eruption). With her, they finished their debut album and recorded a pre-production demo in the spring of 2023 but had to let her go soon after. The last lineup was formed with Samo Stopar picking up the bass guitar in the summer of 2023, with whom they finished recording their debut album in March 2024.
Now, at long last, that debut album is here: Force of Nature. Aptly titled, CHALLENGER's first full-length draws from a deep well of heavy metal wisdom, and does so with gusto. Their stated influences include Saxon, Iron Maiden, Tank, Rainbow, Judas Priest, Venom, Mercyful Fate, Running Wild, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and the UK's Satan, and verily do CHALLENGER siphon off both the best and most idiosyncratic strains of those legends' DNA and reconfigure them into a travelogue of pathos and bravado. The songwriting across Force of Nature suitably gallops with energy, but the band patiently allow each construct to unfold, retaining a sense of austere grace in the process. The leads are majestic and many; most impart a melancholy seemingly at odds with the jaunty tempos explored, but the sum effect becomes one of steely-eyed stateliness perfectly in line with the album's wider "doomed hero" drama. That CHALLENGER posses impeccable chops – to the man, with actual bass guitar prominent in the soundfield – only make these eight mini-epics gleam that much brighter.
CHALLENGER may unapologetically look the past, but their heavy metal heroism is truly timeless. Behold a true Force of Nature!

DVP 308 Sign of the Jackal – Heavy Metal Survivors LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SIGN OF THE JACKAL's highly anticipated third album, Heavy Metal Survivors, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2007, Italy's SIGN OF THE JACKAL have been carrying the torch for traditional, female-fronted HEAVY METAL of an authentically mid '80s vintage. Over the past 15 years, they've played stages all over Europe and delivered two full-lengths – 2013's Mark of the Beast and 2018's DYING VICTIMS-released Breaking the Spell – along with a preceding demo and EP: not too shabby for a band who began, humbly enough, with covers of obscure underground metal songs from the '80s! Naturally, the electric vocals of Laura DemonsQueen are front and center, but SIGN OF THE JACKAL's gleaming chrome pulses with pure mid-'80s speed metal energy, all injected with a heaping helping of classic '70s Italian horror atmosphere.
Now, a too-long six years since their last full-length, SIGN OF THE JACKAL are about to unleash their ultimate statement: Heavy Metal Survivors. The title itself is both a perfect summation of their sound and a loose thematic for the album's post-apocalyptic atmosphere...total '80s-style, of course! Each song is gassed up with enough energy to roam the wasteland for days on end, but what sets SIGN OF THE JACKAL's third album apart from its predecessors is its HOOKS; be it because the more-patient pacing or the space between notes ringing more richly, Heavy Metal Survivors' eight vocal-led tracks retain a catchiness that's so engaging and engrossing, it's not impertinent to suggest that they could've landed on the radio circa 1986...late night, of course! And while SIGN OF THE JACKAL's aesthetic signposts haven't changed all that much since the last album – or the beginning, for that matter, as Warlock's True as Steel remains a huge influence – LP#3 moves the Italians even closer to classic Dokken at their speediest as well as Tokyo Blade, Virgin Steele, Finland's OZ, America's Abattoir and Chastain or even W.A.S.P. at the leanest and meanest. Through it all, though, there's that FEELING: of fun, of glory, of eternal obeisance to the electrical currents of classic metal that remain etched in stone to a specific era in a specific way, raised up and reborn with vitality and vigor. Those who know, know, and they're among the Heavy Metal Survivors!

DVP 309 Raptore – Renaissance LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RAPTORE's highly anticipated third album, Renaissance, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
From their humble beginnings in 2012, RAPTORE have risen to the top of the true metal pack in the intervening decade. The band's roots started with vocalist/guitarist Nico Cattoni, originally hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and his first lineup released their first demo in 2014 and then the debut album Rage N' Fever in 2016, which allowed RAPTORE to tour South America and open for such bands as Exciter and Enforcer. Then, not being able to find suitable musicians for a steady lineup, Nico decides in 2018 to move to Europe in order to give his band better opportunities and recognition. He set base in Barcelona and completed the lineup with three of the most talented musicians in the scene. While they were booked for festivals such as Pyrenean and Trveheim, unfortunately, the pandemic delayed those concerts until 2022. Meanwhile, RAPTORE were brewing their breakthrough record, the full-length Blackfire. Eventually released during the summer of 2022 through DYING VICTIMS, Blackfire literally EXPLODED with an excitement that simply could not be contained – and the international metal scene took notice.
With the stage thus set, RAPTORE manage to magickally eclipse that feat with their third album, Renaissance. Truly titled, Renaissance is a tour-de-force of classic & classy HEAVY METAL steeped in all the black velvet and neon-lit chrome of the mythical '80s. So authentically rendered and passionately played, so rapturously engaging and dreamily transcendental, so simply AWESOME (and – again – explosive), it would not be remiss to suggest that RAPTORE somehow travelled through time and returned with a lost sacred scroll from 1986 or even 1989. Across its whip-tight nine tracks in 34 minutes, Renaissance spans a wealth of vintage metallic styles – smoothly cruising speed metal, Sunset Strip darkness, hard rock mysticism, juiced-up hair metal – and weaves them into a rich tapestry of moody & melodic metal that's so silky and elegant at every turn, simple aesthetic pigeonholing doesn't apply.
Granted, RAPTORE are very much (and always will be) a metal band above all, but their songwriting and textural coloring have grown impossibly more on Renaissance: by turns, a more "mature" and yet also more "fun" version of themselves. The stained-glass organ & synth intro opens the headspace for the focused eclecticism to follow; there's a brightness to their attack that soon submits to the shadows – not straight-to-the-abyss "darkness," but not peering away from it, either – and the deftly layered, powerfully HUGE production allows RAPTORE's musings to take on an even greater and more personal emotional heft. So, while Renaissance could be likened to the underdog metal that clawed its way onto the radio during the latter half of the '80s, Nico & crew exude a daresay smarter sensibility to their catchier-than-ever anthems.
From masterclass to world class, RAPTORE are breaking the chains of their breakthrough record with that ever-crucial third album. How far Renaissance will go, we can only speculate, but it's not unjust to suggest it stacks alongside other velvet metal classics like Don Dokken's Up From the Ashes, W.A.S.P.'s Inside the Electric Circus, Whitesnake's Slip of the Tongue, Warlock's Triumph and Agony, the more serious moments to Slaughter's Stick It to Ya, or even '80s KISS during theirs – as well as, of course, such cold-steel killers like Judas Priest's Defenders of the Faith and Scorpions' Blackout. Ready for this Renaissance?

DVP 310 High Warden – Astral Iron LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HIGH WARDEN's highly anticipated debut album, Astral Iron, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Münster, Germany's HIGH WARDEN was founded by vocalist / guitarist Alastair van Morgue-Gûl and drummer Sadistic Hammer in 2022. The first sign of life from this self-proclaimed "Morgul Doom Commando" was the demo Land of Stone, released in early 2023 by DYING VICTIMS. Initially hired as a live bassist, Lord Perish joined the band as a full-time member that year.
With their lineup thus set, HIGH WARDEN prepare to ride into battle with their full-length debut, Astral Iron. The title serves as an aesthetic springboard for their idiosyncratic sound. Granted, HIGH WARDEN are influenced by legendary bands like Reverend Bizarre, Doomsword, Bathory, Manilla Road, Pagan Altar, Trouble, and Mercyful Fate, but their version of epic heavy / doom metal is as foreign as it is familiar: Slow Heavy Metal, as they accurately refer to it.
Recorded live, Astral Iron pounds and pulses vibrantly, deploying riffs coursing and crushing barbarically before leaving wide-open spaces in anticipation of that next addicting slash of ancient steel. HIGH WARDEN's tones match their execution – earthen and mossy, grit encasing clarity – and each of the album's five primary tracks ("Burgfrieden" is a hauntingly serene synth interlude that gives way to feedback) lumber forward with epic aplomb and high adventure. The vocals of A. v. Morgue-Gûl are plaintive and poignant, illustrating tales mainly based on individual thoughts but suitably packaged as analogies to various fantasy works (like those of J.R.R. Tolkien), historical events, and legends & myths. Unbelievers only need to hear Astral Iron's closing epic "We Shall Burn at Foreign Shores (The Choice of Achilles)" to witness the blanching power of HIGH WARDEN!

DVP 303 Midnight Force – Severan LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MIDNIGHT FORCE's highly anticipated third album, Severan, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2016, Glasgow's MIDNIGHT FORCE are a heavy metal band that set out to follow in the footsteps of their heroes of old – US heavy metal, the NWOBHM movement, and '70s rock – as well as inject some fresh blood into the genre they love so much.
MIDNIGHT FORCE released their full-length debut, Dunsinane, in 2018 to much critical acclaim. DYING VICTIMS would release the cassette version later that year, and the band went on to play Brofest in Newcastle as well as support slots for the likes of High Spirits, Riot, and Ross the Boss in Glasgow and Angel Witch, Savage Master, and Riot City in Germany. Continuing that momentum, MIDNIGHT FORCE performed at other such notable festivals as Harder Than Steel Festival, Hell over Hammaburg, and Echoes from the Labyrinth in Crete as well as tours in Germany, Ireland, and the UK and shows in Paris, Athens, Marseille, and Madrid.
In October 2019, MIDNIGHT FORCE released their second album, Gododdin. Taking the elements of Dunsinane further – songwriting both heroic and melancholic (and even a bit folksy at times), hot-rockin' execution to push that bravado further, and a rustic atmosphere equally 1970s and medieval – Gododdin was exactly the sophomore record MIDNIGHT FORCE needed to both expand and focus their ancient aesthetic. Olde Worlde Heavy Metal this was, based on historical lore and myth: in many ways, the band had arrived.
After a two-year hiatus induced by restrictions on international travel and live shows, MIDNIGHT FORCE released a new single in September 2022 and returned to the stage. Meanwhile, the seeds of their third album were being planted – and at long last, they've blossomed into Severan. Bristling with energy somehow stoic and patient, fit to burst but brewing dark thoughts, Severan sees MIDNIGHT FORCE truly taking their influences into a realm entirely their own. Totaling nine songs across 46 minutes, Severan sounds HUGE yet intimate. Its scope is again historical, the songwriting hits frantic peaks and stern valleys, the execution is even sharper whilst evincing old-school grit, and their characteristic atmosphere is OLDER than ever. Indeed, MIDNIGHT FORCE are engagingly earnest in their sonic campaign – true metal never dies and lives eternally, unfazed by time and trends, and its champions carry a great weight upon their shoulders of leather & steel – but above all, the aesthetic signposts is superlative songwriting, and this Scottish-German band have delivered their most refined set of songs to date. Severan is transportive to the extreme!
Five years in the making, MIDNIGHT FORCE's Severan has arrived bearing banners of ancient metal myth & magick. Raise your swords and shields, those whose hearts beat True!

DVP 304 Warlust – Sol Invictvs In Vmbrae Satanae LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Germany's WARLUST, Sol Invictus In Umbrae Satanae, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Once one of the metal underground's best-kept secrets, WARLUST began their assault on the false in 2012. The title of their debut demo, 2014's Unholy Attack, said everything it needed to: here was blackthrashing METAL, steeped in the spirits of old and with genuinely evil blood coursing through its veins. However, it was 2017's Morbid Execution debut album where WARLUST first truly took flight – on burning wings of flame! More intense, more epic, more heavy fucking metal, Morbid Execution carried on the noble work started by founding fathers Desaster in their homeland and Deströyer 666, Zemial, and Aura Noir abroad. Still, more swords were to be sharpened, and they were held aloft in glorious might on WARLUST's second album (and first for DYING VICTIMS), 2020's Unearthing Shattered Philosophies. Unshackling themselves from a strict(er) blackthrash template, the band's songwriting blossomed on their sophomore assault alongside an increased understanding (and usage) of dynamics. Meanwhile, WARLUST's simultaneously cryogenic / burning-hot melodicism heighten comparisons to classic Dissection and Necrophobic and justifiably garnered a wealth of acclaim upon its release.
That noble trajectory continues, four years later, on WARLUST's Sol Invictus In Umbrae Satanae. That title serves as a clarion call for those who heed the call of Hell's heavy metal – eternal, unyielding, suffused with strength and vigor in times of terror and triumph, melancholy and malevolence. Taking a wider view of WARLUST's discography, this third album follows logically from its predecessor, making for an equally-cutting counterpart compared to the rougher outlier of the debut. Thankfully, then, little has changed in the band's arsenal – the narratives are epic but always urgent, the melodicism still surges and sways with maximum evil, muscular chops melded with blackest atmosphere – but if there's one uptick to be said for Sol Invictus In Umbrae Satanae, it's how HUGE the whole record sounds. Much of that can be attributed to the pronounced integration of marching mid-tempos as well as some tasteful clean tones, but from the brief intro to bristling opener "Serpent Crown" onward, WARLUST exude both a tightness and clarity of execution that altogether spell "classy," and all without any sacrifice of their original black/death fire. Put another way, with the palatably professional production pushing the album atop the uppermost echelon of nowadays evil metal, the Germans sound like they could command the biggest of stages, wielding their weapons of sonic sin with the composure and charisma befitting of total legends. But that legendry is still being written, and Sol Invictus In Umbrae Satanae is no doubt WARLUST's biggest & boldest script yet!

DVP 305 Bottomless/Witching Altar – Graveyard Thunder LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Graveyard Thunder, a special split album between BOTTOMLESS and WITCHING ALTAR, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Graveyard Thunder is aptly titled, for it brings together two cult doom metal bands, each offering three exclusive new tracks for a total of 40 minutes of bewitching, bottom-heavy sound. BOTTOMLESS are likely familiar to those following the dark deeds of DYING VICTIMS, for the Italians released their second album, The Banishing, through the label last summer. While they largely stick to their tried & true template of classic Candlemass, Trouble, and Solitude Aeternus, there's a certain silkiness to their entry here. "Soothing" is a strange misnomer, but not entirely inaccurate; slicked-up doom this is definitely NOT. Rather, one could maybe point to the almost-hushed haunting tones of Blue Öyster Cult's "Burning for You" and indeed even "Don't Fear the Reaper" as extrapolated touchstones for BOTTOMLESS' velvety rumble on their three tracks – a unique and ultimately awesome development from this increasingly potent bunch.
WITCHING ALTAR complement their split-mates well, for they're just as – if not more! – entrenched in the '70s and early '80s. And while the Brazilians had been on something of a hiatus until last year's surprise release of the Morningstar EP, any new WITCHING ALTAR material is cause for celebration. Thankfully, no great changes have been made to their sound: always and forever, Ozzy-era Black Sabbath and oldest Pentagram form their foundation, fleshed out by the likes of Witchfinder General, Pagan Altar, and Count Raven. Maniacal DOOM METAL traditionalism for traditional doom metal maniacs, WITCHING ALTAR nevertheless inject their own spooky personality to proceedings, particularly on the titanic "The Crypts Below." Graveyard Thunder rolls!

DVP 311 Hexenbrett – Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXENBRETT's highly anticipated second album, Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
It was but May of the cursed year of 2020 when HEXENBRETT truly came into their own with their shockingly masterful debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten, courtesy of DYING VICTIMS. While the enigmatic duo of Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolétte had definitely turned heads with the Erste Beschwörung demo in 2019, their debut album's idiosyncratic kaleidoscope of Varathron, Jean Rollin, Danzig, Goblin, and Van Halen emerged as completely unique and unlike little else around.
Predictably unpredictable, HEXENBRETT returned the following year with Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi, a crazed 'n' crazy EP that was the result of canceled concerts and tours. As suggested by its title, the record was no "beschwörung" but, rather, an intermezzo: for the first time in the then-brief history of HEXENBRETT, this EP did not feature performances by the duo but, instead, the live line-up for 2020 – of course, under the watchful eyes and ears of the clandestine couple. A split EP with fellow Austrian eccentrics Hagzissa followed in 2022, with the duo returning to recorded format.
Josto and Scarlettina continued to refuse playing live but managed to recruit musicians to perform their music on live stages. Their recruits recently finished the IN CONCERTZIONE 2024 European club tour with labelmates DEATHSTORM. During that time, Josto and Scarlettina laid the finishing touches on what would become HEXENBRETT's second album.
Now, at long last, comes that second full-length to eclipse all that came before. Titled Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter, HEXENBRETT's second album is a devilish and drama-filled rollercoaster ride through cult metal and cult cinema alike. Arguably more so than their previous recordings, Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter truly encapsulates their demi-tag of "The Sound of the Bloody Iris," for a wide panoply of sounds and sensations swarm the listener, wrapping them in a wild and bewildering but above all kaleidoscopic headspace that easily avoids simple categorization.
While other bands are usually influenced by heavyweights of heavy metal music like Judas Priest or Bathory, HEXENBRETT take their main inspiration from Euro cult cinema and soundtracks; some of the most important names are Sergio Martino, Jess Franco, Jean Rollin, Bruno Nicolai, and Alessandro Alessandroni. One will readily hear that influence here in the prominent usage of vintage synths as well as chimes – the latter both beautiful and ominous – as readily as one will hear guitar leads that are alternately haunting / heroic. But the salient point is that Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter moves in a most filmic fashion – metallic, sure, but this is far, FAR from your Normal Metal Music.
As such, Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter is an amalgamation of love and hate, and represents the duality of birth and death. Its purpose is to enable listeners to escape; it strangles and stabs the status quo of normality. Normality is surrender – escape with HEXENBRETT!

DVP 312 Pandemic – Phantoms LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Poland's PANDEMIC, Phantoms, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Born from the cold, concrete streets of Krakow, Poland's PANDEMIC are an old-school thrash/speed metal band that have been a rising force in the underground scene since their formation in 2015. Despite facing a rocky start with frequent lineup changes, a founder's death, and periods of inactivity, PANDEMIC found their footing in 2018 with a solid lineup.
Their debut EP, Deaf Nite, dropped in September 2018, serving up four blistering tracks that showcased PANDEMIC's raw power and aggression. Staying true to their roots, they followed up with the single Where The Devil Says Goodnite in 2020, a two-track release. By 2023, the band had finally released their first full-length, Crooked Mirror. PANDEMIC's relentless pace continued with the recording of their second album, Phantoms, in early 2024.
Pushing the boundaries of their sound and further establishing their place in the Polish metal underground, PANDEMIC's second album should surely spread their name across the international metal map. Neither too conveniently classified as thrash nor as speed metal, Phantoms marries thrashing riffs to a dynamic style of metal that indeed speeds from time to time but, more often than not, has the gleaming contours and drama of paradigmatic '80s power-thrash. The deeper one goes into Phantoms, the more he will find PANDEMIC's mastery spread across differing styles of songcraft; while everything coalesces into a unified album experience, each song here maintains its own unique character rather than simply repeating the same formula for eight-plus tracks. Credit for that comes through each member bringing a distinct pedigree to the table, with guitarist Wiktor Łobarzewski also shredding for GALLOWER, fellow six-stringer Marcin Konieczny laying down the riffs for Roadhog, and drummer Filip Worek beating the skins for Horned Cült. Completed by bassist Gniewko Jelski's rough and rowdy but articulate vocals, PANDEMIC are the proverbial well-oiled machine – with oil of '80s vintage, of course!
Primed to take that machine further, be it the underground festivals they've been tearing up or shows on domestic soil, PANDEMIC hereby unleash Phantoms!

DVP 313 Deadly Magic – ...As Nightmares Gorged The Earth MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DEADLY MAGIC's striking debut mini-album, ...As Nightmares Gorged the Earth, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Welcome to DEADLY MAGIC, a new project by Messerschmitt vocalist / guitarist Maik Jegszenties. While Messerschmitt reside on the classic thrash and speed metal spectrum, there is another musical passion for Maik: old US metal, particuarly the more progressive end of it. Think early Queensrÿche, Sanctuary, Crimson Glory, Fates Warning, and Powerslave-era Iron Maiden...sound tempting? If so, then you need to hear ...As Nightmares Gorged the Earth ASAP!
For years, Maik was writing music that was different from Messerschmitt, but never attempted to bring it to life. As the world shut down in 2020, locations were forced to close and bands were forced to take a break; during this, Maik came up with an idea to start a little project. Some songs and many ideas lay around for several years, and finally the time had come to finish those pieces. Several circumstances delayed the whole project, and it took around a year to complete four songs and another year to record it. While Maik handled all songwriting as well as guitar and leads, joining him in DEADLY MAGIC are Thorben Schulz on lead guitar, Yannic Zwinscher on bass, Daniel Behle on drums, and the extraordinary vocals of one Alexis Roy-Petit.
Totaling 24 incredibly epic minutes, ...As Nightmares Gorged the Earth is an infinitely ascending spire of dark, alluring energy – and, indeed, DEADLY MAGIC! With absurdly sharp execution, the quintet proceed to weave tales of high fantasy and grim allegory; you can nearly see the wizards and warriors across this sonic landscape. Each track is always moving, ever shifting, but with a path as crystal-clear as the production. Even when the chops reach a fever pitch of dazzling dizziness, there's bountiful motifs and hooks to hang on to; the dynamic shading both provides breathing room and a deeper emotional center. Atop it all are the sorcerous vocals of Alexis Roy-Petit, who could be a dead ringer for both Bruce Dickinson and Geoff Tate circa 1984!
From bursting beginning to climatic conclusion, ...As Nightmares Gorged the Earth remains a wholly engrossing journey, rendered with the passion & precision of classic progressive power metal. DEADLY MAGIC has been cast!

DVP 314 Kvicksilver – Lady Unknown MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KVICKSILVER's striking debut demo, Lady Unknown, on music cassette format.
KVICKSILVER is a Heavy Rock band from Stockholm, Sweden that was formed by guitarist Filip Herder, drummer Benjamin Curman and bassist Mille Lundström in the summer of 2023. In January 2024 singer Martin Klingvall joined the band on vocals and thus KVICKSILVER was complete. Drawing heavily from god-like influences such as Deep Purple, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and many more, the three-track demo evokes an incredibly OLD sounding 70s rock/proto metal vibe which is rarely this authentic. Big things ahead for these four young Swedes!

DVP 306 Blackevil – Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BLACKEVIL's highly anticipated third album, Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Bavaria, BLACKEVIL have been forging fire since 2013. Their first demo, appropriately titled Hail the Cult, emerged from the darkness in 2015, auspiciously revealing a razor-sharp and endlessly salacious style of blackthrash. Come BLACKEVIL's debut album, 2017's The Ceremonial Fire, the power-trio up-ratcheted everything: more speed, more hooks, more black, more evil, more of MORE! Still, their breakout moment was yet to come. Under the auspices of DYING VICTIMS, BLACKEVIL released their second album, Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire, in 2020. Here, the duo laid it all on the line, taking their noble roots – most obviously the German thrash Big Three of Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction as well as evil speed metal legends like Razor, Evil Angel, OZ, and Exciter – and assimilating them something that was uniquely their own and yet uniquely and purely HEAVY METAL.
Now, with third album Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament, BLACKEVIL take bolder steps into the epic that they only hinted at prior. If its predecessor began to transcend "blackthrash" categorization, Praise the Communion Fire wholly does so, canvassing a wider range of other stylistic sizes – late '90s melodic black metal, same-era blackened death, early '80s epic metal, and even a bit of NWOBHM that preceded that – that altogether result in something that's more unique than ever. The album's runtime of 46 minutes across seven tracks no doubt suggests that turn toward the epic, and the songwriting indeed goes everywhere but still with remarkable focus. Their chops, while thankfully evincing a human touch, support these daring constructs with finesse and a finely honed clarity. Leads and otherwise-more-melodic riffs lead the charge into the battlefield, buttressed by dynamics that are never boisterous for their own sake; rather, they're reigned in, allowing those riffs and rhythms to breathe, thus making the surges of energy all the more exciting. Put another way, BLACKEVIL aren't just another black(ened) metal band flying off the rails, imparting one extreme expression after another: there's actual class and craft at work here, honoring the ancient lore of heavy metal whilst adding to its lexicon. In that sense, the ceremonial reverence they exude truly supports the title Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament.
Forever Baptised in Eternal Fire reaped acclaim, but still left BLACKEVIL as a well-kept secret. Again blessed with (un)godly art by the masterful Paolo Girardi, Praise the Communion Fire for the Unhallowed Sacrament should once and for all establish BLACKEVIL as top-tier heavy metal blacksmiths!

DVP 307 Challenger – Force of Nature LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Slovenia's CHALLENGER, Force of Nature, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
The idea for Slovenia's CHALLENGER started in the summer of 2016, when Jakob Rejec (ex-VIGILANCE, Ambra) was challenged to play a foodball game with Urban Železnik (SkyEye), and if Urban won, they would form a band together. Unfortunately, they never played the game, but still decided to form a band.
For the first lineup, they invited Blaž Tanšek (Mist, ex-Teleport) to play the bass guitar and Mihaela Žitko (Mist) to join on the drums. Through some jam sessions, the first riffs were made, and in November, the band had their first gig under the name Irön Breed, combining the surnames of Jakob and Urban, with Rejec meaning "breeder" and Železnik meaning "iron." Soon after, they changed their name to CHALLENGER, and Mihaela left her drum duties to Toni Pleško (ex-Teleport, Natt, Đornata). In 2019, they released their first EP Turned to Dust to critical acclaim.
Corona times were not very fruitful for CHALLENGER, but in 2022, they came back with new blood on the bass guitar with Nika Krmelj (Eruption). With her, they finished their debut album and recorded a pre-production demo in the spring of 2023 but had to let her go soon after. The last lineup was formed with Samo Stopar picking up the bass guitar in the summer of 2023, with whom they finished recording their debut album in March 2024.
Now, at long last, that debut album is here: Force of Nature. Aptly titled, CHALLENGER's first full-length draws from a deep well of heavy metal wisdom, and does so with gusto. Their stated influences include Saxon, Iron Maiden, Tank, Rainbow, Judas Priest, Venom, Mercyful Fate, Running Wild, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and the UK's Satan, and verily do CHALLENGER siphon off both the best and most idiosyncratic strains of those legends' DNA and reconfigure them into a travelogue of pathos and bravado. The songwriting across Force of Nature suitably gallops with energy, but the band patiently allow each construct to unfold, retaining a sense of austere grace in the process. The leads are majestic and many; most impart a melancholy seemingly at odds with the jaunty tempos explored, but the sum effect becomes one of steely-eyed stateliness perfectly in line with the album's wider "doomed hero" drama. That CHALLENGER posses impeccable chops – to the man, with actual bass guitar prominent in the soundfield – only make these eight mini-epics gleam that much brighter.
CHALLENGER may unapologetically look the past, but their heavy metal heroism is truly timeless. Behold a true Force of Nature!

DVP 315 Vitriolic – Black Steel Vengeance LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Finland's VITRIOLIC, Black Steel Vengeance, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Headsplit Records has already released the CD and cassette tape versions for North America.
Hailing from Tampere, VITRIOLIC raise high the iron fist of their homeland's oft-overlooked blackthrash scene. From the paradigmatic likes of Urn and Flame on to the next generation of Evil Angel, Sadokist, and labelmates RAPID, the power-trio of VITRIOLIC have been fighting the metal fight for the past five years. Initially, the band self-released their first couple EPs and a live album, and then made their full-length debut in 2021 with Renegade Ascension via Headsplit. And while some songs from their second album were forecast in demo form the last few years, at last arrives Black Steel Vengeance.
No more perfectly titled, Black Steel Vengeance is VITRIOLIC are at their rowdiest and most powerful. Honed on the live front, Black Steel Vengeance is a ten-track assault of old-school, riff-driven METAL. Black, speed, thrash, separately or all at once: VITRIOLIC let loose and live lawlessly on this 41-minute firestorm. Truly, this album is a testament to the burning underground spirit – theirs, yours, everyone's who believes in Hell's heavy metal – remaining grounded in the dirt of the past but digging up new graves that smell rottenly unfresh. The flag of hate of the original Teutonic Big Three flies proudly here, but VITRIOLIC manage to twist the knife in different-yet-honorable ways. As such, Black Steel Vengeance is equally at home in 1985, 1999, and 2025, such is its timeless gallop 'n' thrust. Raise your sword!

DVP 316 Axetasy – Withering Tides LP /CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present AXETASY's highly anticipated debut album, Withering Tides, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Stuttgart, Germany's AXETASY formed in 2020 with influences that belied their young age – namely, the speed metal, thrash, and black metal stalwarts of the '80s. Not for nothing is their furious, stubbornly obscure sound stuck there: while you're busy checking the calendar year, AXETASY have already dragged you into the insane depths of morbid ecstasy!
Now, after a debut and a couple digital singles, AXETASY charge the gates of Hell with their full-length debut, Withering Tides. After the short, scene-setting intro, Withering Tides gallops away into heavy metal heaven with a sound that's strikingly familiar yet somehow unique – strange magick, indeed! The four youngsters of AXETASY soon prove their mettle with a straightforward rush of just-black-enough speed metal dotted with tasty, atmospheric melodies and technically demanding passages. This is not the usual blackthrash trip; rare is it to find a modern band nailing the etched-in-time, Walls of Jericho-era Helloween sound with this much aplomb. As such, the production of Withering Tides totally befits their fun-yet-fiery, dark-but-not-completely chassis: gleaming and clean where it needs to be, and just dirty enough underneath. Nightmarish mayhem, for sure, and immediately memorable after just one listen...but you'll surely be possessed by AXETASY to press "play" 666 times!
Swords of steel aloft, AXETASY's Withering Tides comes heartily recommended for maniacs of labelmates HEXECUTOR and BLACKEVIL as well as former labelmates Sacrifizer, Cruel Force's more recent work, and Brazil's Evil Invaders – enter this "Fatal Maze" posthaste!

DVP 317 Time Rift – In Flight LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TIME RIFT's highly anticipated second album, In Flight, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
With minds towards the future and souls rooted in the history of rock, TIME RIFT is the rock 'n' roll time machine the world needs. Formed by Justin Kaye in 2014, with various line ups through the years, the band currently counts in its roster Terrica Catwood on drums (circa 2017) and Domino Monet on vocals (circa 2023). That doomed year of 2020 saw the DYING VICTIMS release of their debut album, Eternal Rock, and after the world re-opened, a plethora of dynamite shows in the American Northwest helped them hone their craft further.
Fast forward to today, and TIME RIFT is poised to kill. Witness their second album, In Flight. Taking influence from not just the greats of Motörhead, Led Zeppelin, The MC5, and Scorpions, but also stalwart singers such as Sinéad O'Connor, Grace Slick, and Doro Pesch, TIME RIFT deftly blend the power of heavy metal with the groove of rock. In Flight sounds so old and fresh simultaneously, you'll continually be checking your calendar for which year it is – in either direction – throughout the album's punchy & powerful 31-minute duration. The arrival of Domino Monet as frontwoman is momentous, as her tough-yet-tender vocals give the band an entirely new dynamic: a swirling cauldron of emotive mid-'70s hard rock and early '80s metal, lean and mean and minimalist but BIGGER than ever. Be warned – TIME RIFT is In Flight!

DVP 308 Sign of the Jackal – Heavy Metal Survivors LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SIGN OF THE JACKAL's highly anticipated third album, Heavy Metal Survivors, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2007, Italy's SIGN OF THE JACKAL have been carrying the torch for traditional, female-fronted HEAVY METAL of an authentically mid '80s vintage. Over the past 15 years, they've played stages all over Europe and delivered two full-lengths – 2013's Mark of the Beast and 2018's DYING VICTIMS-released Breaking the Spell – along with a preceding demo and EP: not too shabby for a band who began, humbly enough, with covers of obscure underground metal songs from the '80s! Naturally, the electric vocals of Laura DemonsQueen are front and center, but SIGN OF THE JACKAL's gleaming chrome pulses with pure mid-'80s speed metal energy, all injected with a heaping helping of classic '70s Italian horror atmosphere.
Now, a too-long six years since their last full-length, SIGN OF THE JACKAL are about to unleash their ultimate statement: Heavy Metal Survivors. The title itself is both a perfect summation of their sound and a loose thematic for the album's post-apocalyptic atmosphere...total '80s-style, of course! Each song is gassed up with enough energy to roam the wasteland for days on end, but what sets SIGN OF THE JACKAL's third album apart from its predecessors is its HOOKS; be it because the more-patient pacing or the space between notes ringing more richly, Heavy Metal Survivors' eight vocal-led tracks retain a catchiness that's so engaging and engrossing, it's not impertinent to suggest that they could've landed on the radio circa 1986...late night, of course! And while SIGN OF THE JACKAL's aesthetic signposts haven't changed all that much since the last album – or the beginning, for that matter, as Warlock's True as Steel remains a huge influence – LP#3 moves the Italians even closer to classic Dokken at their speediest as well as Tokyo Blade, Virgin Steele, Finland's OZ, America's Abattoir and Chastain or even W.A.S.P. at the leanest and meanest. Through it all, though, there's that FEELING: of fun, of glory, of eternal obeisance to the electrical currents of classic metal that remain etched in stone to a specific era in a specific way, raised up and reborn with vitality and vigor. Those who know, know, and they're among the Heavy Metal Survivors!

DVP 309 Raptore – Renaissance LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RAPTORE's highly anticipated third album, Renaissance, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
From their humble beginnings in 2012, RAPTORE have risen to the top of the true metal pack in the intervening decade. The band's roots started with vocalist/guitarist Nico Cattoni, originally hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and his first lineup released their first demo in 2014 and then the debut album Rage N' Fever in 2016, which allowed RAPTORE to tour South America and open for such bands as Exciter and Enforcer. Then, not being able to find suitable musicians for a steady lineup, Nico decides in 2018 to move to Europe in order to give his band better opportunities and recognition. He set base in Barcelona and completed the lineup with three of the most talented musicians in the scene. While they were booked for festivals such as Pyrenean and Trveheim, unfortunately, the pandemic delayed those concerts until 2022. Meanwhile, RAPTORE were brewing their breakthrough record, the full-length Blackfire. Eventually released during the summer of 2022 through DYING VICTIMS, Blackfire literally EXPLODED with an excitement that simply could not be contained – and the international metal scene took notice.
With the stage thus set, RAPTORE manage to magickally eclipse that feat with their third album, Renaissance. Truly titled, Renaissance is a tour-de-force of classic & classy HEAVY METAL steeped in all the black velvet and neon-lit chrome of the mythical '80s. So authentically rendered and passionately played, so rapturously engaging and dreamily transcendental, so simply AWESOME (and – again – explosive), it would not be remiss to suggest that RAPTORE somehow travelled through time and returned with a lost sacred scroll from 1986 or even 1989. Across its whip-tight nine tracks in 34 minutes, Renaissance spans a wealth of vintage metallic styles – smoothly cruising speed metal, Sunset Strip darkness, hard rock mysticism, juiced-up hair metal – and weaves them into a rich tapestry of moody & melodic metal that's so silky and elegant at every turn, simple aesthetic pigeonholing doesn't apply.
Granted, RAPTORE are very much (and always will be) a metal band above all, but their songwriting and textural coloring have grown impossibly more on Renaissance: by turns, a more "mature" and yet also more "fun" version of themselves. The stained-glass organ & synth intro opens the headspace for the focused eclecticism to follow; there's a brightness to their attack that soon submits to the shadows – not straight-to-the-abyss "darkness," but not peering away from it, either – and the deftly layered, powerfully HUGE production allows RAPTORE's musings to take on an even greater and more personal emotional heft. So, while Renaissance could be likened to the underdog metal that clawed its way onto the radio during the latter half of the '80s, Nico & crew exude a daresay smarter sensibility to their catchier-than-ever anthems.
From masterclass to world class, RAPTORE are breaking the chains of their breakthrough record with that ever-crucial third album. How far Renaissance will go, we can only speculate, but it's not unjust to suggest it stacks alongside other velvet metal classics like Don Dokken's Up From the Ashes, W.A.S.P.'s Inside the Electric Circus, Whitesnake's Slip of the Tongue, Warlock's Triumph and Agony, the more serious moments to Slaughter's Stick It to Ya, or even '80s KISS during theirs – as well as, of course, such cold-steel killers like Judas Priest's Defenders of the Faith and Scorpions' Blackout. Ready for this Renaissance?

DVP 310 High Warden – Astral Iron LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HIGH WARDEN's highly anticipated debut album, Astral Iron, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Münster, Germany's HIGH WARDEN was founded by vocalist / guitarist Alastair van Morgue-Gûl and drummer Sadistic Hammer in 2022. The first sign of life from this self-proclaimed "Morgul Doom Commando" was the demo Land of Stone, released in early 2023 by DYING VICTIMS. Initially hired as a live bassist, Lord Perish joined the band as a full-time member that year.
With their lineup thus set, HIGH WARDEN prepare to ride into battle with their full-length debut, Astral Iron. The title serves as an aesthetic springboard for their idiosyncratic sound. Granted, HIGH WARDEN are influenced by legendary bands like Reverend Bizarre, Doomsword, Bathory, Manilla Road, Pagan Altar, Trouble, and Mercyful Fate, but their version of epic heavy / doom metal is as foreign as it is familiar: Slow Heavy Metal, as they accurately refer to it.
Recorded live, Astral Iron pounds and pulses vibrantly, deploying riffs coursing and crushing barbarically before leaving wide-open spaces in anticipation of that next addicting slash of ancient steel. HIGH WARDEN's tones match their execution – earthen and mossy, grit encasing clarity – and each of the album's five primary tracks ("Burgfrieden" is a hauntingly serene synth interlude that gives way to feedback) lumber forward with epic aplomb and high adventure. The vocals of A. v. Morgue-Gûl are plaintive and poignant, illustrating tales mainly based on individual thoughts but suitably packaged as analogies to various fantasy works (like those of J.R.R. Tolkien), historical events, and legends & myths. Unbelievers only need to hear Astral Iron's closing epic "We Shall Burn at Foreign Shores (The Choice of Achilles)" to witness the blanching power of HIGH WARDEN!

DVP 314 Kvicksilver – Lady Unknown MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KVICKSILVER's striking debut demo, Lady Unknown, on music cassette format.
KVICKSILVER is a Heavy Rock band from Stockholm, Sweden that was formed by guitarist Filip Herder, drummer Benjamin Curman and bassist Mille Lundström in the summer of 2023. In January 2024 singer Martin Klingvall joined the band on vocals and thus KVICKSILVER was complete. Drawing heavily from god-like influences such as Deep Purple, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and many more, the three-track demo evokes an incredibly OLD sounding 70s rock/proto metal vibe which is rarely this authentic. Big things ahead for these four young Swedes!

DVP 318 Mean Mistreater – Do or Die LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEAN MISTREATER's highly anticipated second album, Do or Die, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hot on the heels of their heralded debut album, Razor Wire – originally self-released in early 2023, but released internationally by DYING VICTIMS later that summer – MEAN MISTREATER return with their second full-length, Do or Die. Their debut served as a declaration of intent, showcasing a sound that is both feral and refined. Rejecting the confines of conventional labels like "female-fronted" or "NWOTHM," MEAN MISTREATER here assert their identity as a powerful collective, committed to pushing the boundaries of traditional heavy metal. With their uncompromising attitude and undeniable skill, they stand out in a crowded genre, ready to carve out their own place in the heavy metal landscape.
The songwriting is largely unchanged on Do or Die – classic metal melded with retro hard rock, with foremost influences being Warlock, Chastain, and early W.A.S.P. – but MEAN MISTREATER's execution is off the charts here. Urgent, passionate, like street-walking cheetahs with hearts full of napalm, the Texas natives fire off one rough 'n' ready anthem after another here, keeping that songwriting short / sharp / shocked. Indeed, it's difficult to find a record this concise – eight songs in 27 minutes – that also feels so complete. It's fair to say, then, that this blazing band is firing on every cylinder as they ascend the traditional metal ladder, leaving audiences hungry for more of their unapologetic sound and intoxicating live shows.
Proving that they're no flash in the pan, with Do or Diedo MEAN MISTREATER continue to build on their early success, delivering the intense and captivating music that fans have come to expect from them.

DVP 319 Scumripper – For a Few Fixes More LP /CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SCUMRIPPER's highly anticipated second album, For a Few Fixes More, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Headsplit Records have released the CD and cassette tape editions for North America.
Finland's degraded fiends SCUMRIPPER are finally back. For almost a decade, they've witnessed the world burn through a sewer hole and felt the slime gather in their burnt-to-a-fuck throats. Now they are ready to rip out your spines with their sophomore album, For a Few Fixes More.
Following 2019's All Veins Blazing debut, with the band's reputation as an uncompromising live act fully established, the power trio of vocalist/guitarist Rat Pitt, drummer Son Stalker, and bassist Cliff Hunger return with the comparably epic For a Few Fixes More. Indeed, with the runtime padded out to 28 minutes, SCUMRIPPER prove they're still able to (quickly) kick out nasty, sewer-drenched jams, but they're also able to get kicking in many more ways than before. Whereas most of the debut album's tracks topped out at two minutes, most of the nine songs here on LP#2 outdistance such a short length, with the penultimate coming in "I Cum Pain," a five-minute menace of haunting, lurking trudge. Likewise, SCUMRIPPER have come to maximize their catchiness of yore, compelling both immediate headbanging and memorability. If anything, such influences as Impetigo, Midnight, and even Negative Approach have asserted themselves more fully on For a Few Fixes More, making for metalpunk that's more street-level – and more unique in an increasingly crowded subgenre.
Just when you thought they may have ended up in the nearest gutter, SCUMRIPPER are performing a long-awaited autopsy with integrity on the modern world. For a Few Fixes More is the crossover album no one saw coming: perfect death-thrashing punk rock for the end times.

DVP 320 Sinner Rage – Powerstrike LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SINNER RAGE's highly anticipated debut album, Powerstrike, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Making their public debut with a self-titled demo in early 2024, SINNER RAGE thrust themselves into the present with a sound wholly built on the past: pure and total HEAVY METAL during the genre's '80s heyday. Wasting no time defending the faith, the Spaniards return a full year later with their debut album, Powerstrike.
Truly titled, Powerstrike is an pitch-perfect throwback to the days when heavy metal supremacy were ruled by the likes of Judas Priest, Saxon, Queensrÿche, and Crimson Glory. Moving at a disarmingly relaxed strut, SINNER RAGE convey charisma and simple-yet-assured POWER during every second of this short & sweet tome. The hooks are heavy and headbanging, but the quartet exhibit a keen knack for spacious, almost-atmospheric dynamics; the riffing hits even harder when coming back from those quieter moments, and frontman Aritz Martinez's pipes likewise sound even silkier. Some would simply qualify that as a further (and seamless) extension of old-days metal values, before speed and energy overload took over, and they'd not be wrong.
Whatever way you approach it, Powerstrike will send shivers of déjà vu through every soul who's ever bled for metal, but make no mistake: SINNER RAGE are absolutely authentic to the bone, no matter the calendar year!

DVP 321 Armory – Black Star 7″
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from Sweden's ARMORY, Black Star, on 7" vinyl format. The EP will be a co-release with Jawbreaker Records.
Out of the deep void in the far corners of the universe, the entity known as ARMORY was born in the year 2012 C.E. With the guiding light of the fiery stars Judas Priest, Agent Steel, and Slayer, ARMORY set out on a cosmic path delivering hyper-speed metal to every planet, system, and galaxy in their path. Their two first albums, World Peace... Cosmic War (2016) and The Search (2018), were released via High Roller Records, garnering ever greater reviews.
Under the new flag of DYING VICTIMS, ARMORY's third album, Mercurion, was unleashed during the spring of 2022 and followed by a European tour in 2023. This further cemented that ARMORY are a force to be reckoned with on the intergalactic battleground.
ARMORY's upcoming operations are set in motion, and the next chapter starts with the deployment of the two-song EP Black Star in February 2025 C.E. Featuring two brand-new and exclusive songs – the title track on side A, and "Solar Winds" on side B – ARMORY deliver a rapid barrage of hyper-speed metal with influences and feelings from the dark, cold void that engulfs us all. It's immediately, recognizably ARMORY, but this EP displays with breathless brevity that the band are handily transcending their not-inconsiderable past and setting the cosmic stage for glory of a most universal nature, all of which will be revealed on their next full-length for DYING VICTIMS later in 2025!

DVP 311 Hexenbrett – Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter LP/CD/MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXENBRETT's highly anticipated second album, Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
It was but May of the cursed year of 2020 when HEXENBRETT truly came into their own with their shockingly masterful debut album, Zweite Beschwörung: Ein Kind zu töten, courtesy of DYING VICTIMS. While the enigmatic duo of Josto Feratu and Scarlettina Bolétte had definitely turned heads with the Erste Beschwörung demo in 2019, their debut album's idiosyncratic kaleidoscope of Varathron, Jean Rollin, Danzig, Goblin, and Van Halen emerged as completely unique and unlike little else around.
Predictably unpredictable, HEXENBRETT returned the following year with Intermezzo dei quattro coltelli nudi, a crazed 'n' crazy EP that was the result of canceled concerts and tours. As suggested by its title, the record was no "beschwörung" but, rather, an intermezzo: for the first time in the then-brief history of HEXENBRETT, this EP did not feature performances by the duo but, instead, the live line-up for 2020 – of course, under the watchful eyes and ears of the clandestine couple. A split EP with fellow Austrian eccentrics Hagzissa followed in 2022, with the duo returning to recorded format.
Josto and Scarlettina continued to refuse playing live but managed to recruit musicians to perform their music on live stages. Their recruits recently finished the IN CONCERTZIONE 2024 European club tour with labelmates DEATHSTORM. During that time, Josto and Scarlettina laid the finishing touches on what would become HEXENBRETT's second album.
Now, at long last, comes that second full-length to eclipse all that came before. Titled Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter, HEXENBRETT's second album is a devilish and drama-filled rollercoaster ride through cult metal and cult cinema alike. Arguably more so than their previous recordings, Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter truly encapsulates their demi-tag of "The Sound of the Bloody Iris," for a wide panoply of sounds and sensations swarm the listener, wrapping them in a wild and bewildering but above all kaleidoscopic headspace that easily avoids simple categorization.
While other bands are usually influenced by heavyweights of heavy metal music like Judas Priest or Bathory, HEXENBRETT take their main inspiration from Euro cult cinema and soundtracks; some of the most important names are Sergio Martino, Jess Franco, Jean Rollin, Bruno Nicolai, and Alessandro Alessandroni. One will readily hear that influence here in the prominent usage of vintage synths as well as chimes – the latter both beautiful and ominous – as readily as one will hear guitar leads that are alternately haunting / heroic. But the salient point is that Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter moves in a most filmic fashion – metallic, sure, but this is far, FAR from your Normal Metal Music.
As such, Dritte Beschwörung: Dem Teufel eine Tochter is an amalgamation of love and hate, and represents the duality of birth and death. Its purpose is to enable listeners to escape; it strangles and stabs the status quo of normality. Normality is surrender – escape with HEXENBRETT!

DVP 312 Pandemic – Phantoms LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Poland's PANDEMIC, Phantoms, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Born from the cold, concrete streets of Krakow, Poland's PANDEMIC are an old-school thrash/speed metal band that have been a rising force in the underground scene since their formation in 2015. Despite facing a rocky start with frequent lineup changes, a founder's death, and periods of inactivity, PANDEMIC found their footing in 2018 with a solid lineup.
Their debut EP, Deaf Nite, dropped in September 2018, serving up four blistering tracks that showcased PANDEMIC's raw power and aggression. Staying true to their roots, they followed up with the single Where The Devil Says Goodnite in 2020, a two-track release. By 2023, the band had finally released their first full-length, Crooked Mirror. PANDEMIC's relentless pace continued with the recording of their second album, Phantoms, in early 2024.
Pushing the boundaries of their sound and further establishing their place in the Polish metal underground, PANDEMIC's second album should surely spread their name across the international metal map. Neither too conveniently classified as thrash nor as speed metal, Phantoms marries thrashing riffs to a dynamic style of metal that indeed speeds from time to time but, more often than not, has the gleaming contours and drama of paradigmatic '80s power-thrash. The deeper one goes into Phantoms, the more he will find PANDEMIC's mastery spread across differing styles of songcraft; while everything coalesces into a unified album experience, each song here maintains its own unique character rather than simply repeating the same formula for eight-plus tracks. Credit for that comes through each member bringing a distinct pedigree to the table, with guitarist Wiktor Łobarzewski also shredding for GALLOWER, fellow six-stringer Marcin Konieczny laying down the riffs for Roadhog, and drummer Filip Worek beating the skins for Horned Cült. Completed by bassist Gniewko Jelski's rough and rowdy but articulate vocals, PANDEMIC are the proverbial well-oiled machine – with oil of '80s vintage, of course!
Primed to take that machine further, be it the underground festivals they've been tearing up or shows on domestic soil, PANDEMIC hereby unleash Phantoms!

DVP 323 Hexecutor – ...Where Spirit Withers in its Flesh Constraint LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXECUTOR's highly anticipated third album, ...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2011, French quartet HEXECUTOR started with a foundation of raw-and-fierce evil old-school speed/thrash metal, as exemplified by their debut demo and Hangman of Roazhon EP from 2012 and 2014, respectively. Thereafter, they slowly-yet-firmly evolved in various directions when they released Poison, Lust and Damnation debut album in 2016, which DYING VICTIMS released on vinyl a year later.
After proving themselves to be a very efficient live act, HEXECUTOR immersed themselves into Breton legends and history, intertwining their music with Breton lore for their second album, 2020's Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge.... Along with being something of a modern classic – amazingly thorough in its conceptual background, boundlessly inventive in its execution – that album proved to be a turning point for the band: a concerted and confident elevation beyond the standard "blackthrash" tropes so prevalent in the modern underground.
As considerable as that accomplishment was, HEXECUTOR are eclipsing it with their third album, delving yet deeper into dark legends and impressive figures from Celtic-Breton lore. Titled ...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint, LP#3 both sonically and elliptically continues where its momentous predecessor left off; not for nothing is the opening song the belated title track "Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge...." Ripping right out of the gates, HEXECUTOR continue their evolution unabated, adding once again to the richness of their music, and this time with songwriting from both their former and new lead guitarists. Their core is still thrash metal, but even just a cursory listen of ...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint reveals that there's few "thrash" records that will sound like this – this year, or the next, or the year after that. Seemingly effortlessly – or, at least, with some strange magick unique to them – HEXECUTOR lurk yonder into realms both black and more traditionally heavy metal, even venturing far afield into some progressives touches. And whereas Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge... carried a huge conceptual weight, the feeling across ...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint is freer and almost airier, despite this still being DARK heavy metal at its core.
HEXECUTOR are HEXECUTOR, now more than ever: renewing the genre and trying to bring this opus as a new gem to the treasures of metal music...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint!

DVP 324 Lady Beast – The Inner Alchemist LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to release LADY BEAST's highly anticipated fifth album, The Inner Alchemist, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2009, LADY BEAST have been flying the flag for refined HEAVY METAL. The band hail from the Steel City of Pittsburgh, forming with firm influences ranging from Motörhead, Dio, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Mercyful Fate. From there, LADY BEAST have weaved their own unique style of metal with silky-yet-sharp harmonizing guitars and the soaring, rally-the-warriors vocals of frontwoman Deborah Levine. All the while, they've retained their blue-collar roots but have never forgotten the majesty of metal in its earliest, most classic form: fantasy, magic, epic adventure, and of course ANTHEMS!
While it's been five long years since their last full-length – but only a year after DYING VICTIMS stepped in to reissue on vinyl their second album, 2015's pivotal Lady Beast II – LADY BEAST suitably explode from the gates with palpitating urgency on The Inner Alchemist. Mind you, the band aren't necessarily trying to break any speed limits here on LP#5, but rather, it's the power, poise, and all-out swagger they exude on The Inner Alchemist which instills the sensation that LADY BEAST have only been away mere minutes. Thankfully, little has changed in their sturdy aesthetic – authentically '80s-entrenched HEAVY METAL that struts and gallops with equal aplomb, buttressed by instantly-hummable riffs and a palpable atmosphere of swords & sorcery – but if there's one main distinction, it's that the production on The Inner Alchemist highlights their heaviness, giving crunch when proceedings go locomotive and majesty when those proceedings go harmonic. As always, Levine's passionate & powerful vocals are as engaging as ever: emotive and narrative in equal measure, still standing tall atop the keep-it-true pack.
Graced with evocative cover artwork by Adam Burke, LADY BEAST are sure stirring up something with The Inner Alchemist!

GALLOWER – the Witching Metal power-trio from Tychy, Poland – have been unleashing their blackthrash fury upon the underground for over a decade. Since their formation in 2015, the band have become a bastion of old-school metal, raw aggression, blistering energy, and a dark medieval aesthetic. Their lyrics immerse listeners in the shadowy world of GALLOWER, a 15th-century land where magic, monsters, and unholy evil reign supreme.
GALLOWER's discography is a journey into the heart of metal's purest traditions: demos Witch Hunt is On (2015) and Through the Gallows (2016), through their debut album Behold the Realm of Darkness (2020), to the EP Eastern Witchcraft (2022), released under the banner of DYING VICTIMS. Each release is a testament to GALLOWER's commitment to keeping the old-school flame alive while crafting a unique and immersive soundscape. Their next recording, the full-length Vengeance & Wrath, won't be any different and will release the bubonic plague once again!
GALLOWER's live shows, brimming with unrelenting energy and a raw aggression, leave no man spared and no cross unturned – and that finely honed finesse reaches its apotheosis on Vengeance & Wrath. Truly titled, Vengeance & Wrath encapsulates and exaggerates the GALLOWER aesthetic to date: a perfect storm of thrashing-mad riffs, harsh-yet-articulate vocals, pitch-black intensity, and epic storytelling, all with medieval atmosphere to spare. It's not so much a vertical improvement as it is a lateral one, for to do anything beyond the remit of truest metal would be a fate worse than death! No more but definitely no less, GALLOWER strive to reach the hallowed halls of Venom, Destruction, Bathory, Sodom, and the Japanese Sabbat – and from this vantage point, with Vengeance & Wrath do they walk that path honorably.
This is Witching Metal: an unholy call to arms for all who live and die for the old school. Arm yourself with a bulletbelt, take this torch, and prepare for battle — the witch hunt has begun, and GALLOWER lead the charge into darkness with Vengeance & Wrath!

DVP 315 Vitriolic – Black Steel Vengeance LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Finland's VITRIOLIC, Black Steel Vengeance, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Headsplit Records has already released the CD and cassette tape versions for North America.
Hailing from Tampere, VITRIOLIC raise high the iron fist of their homeland's oft-overlooked blackthrash scene. From the paradigmatic likes of Urn and Flame on to the next generation of Evil Angel, Sadokist, and labelmates RAPID, the power-trio of VITRIOLIC have been fighting the metal fight for the past five years. Initially, the band self-released their first couple EPs and a live album, and then made their full-length debut in 2021 with Renegade Ascension via Headsplit. And while some songs from their second album were forecast in demo form the last few years, at last arrives Black Steel Vengeance.
No more perfectly titled, Black Steel Vengeance is VITRIOLIC are at their rowdiest and most powerful. Honed on the live front, Black Steel Vengeance is a ten-track assault of old-school, riff-driven METAL. Black, speed, thrash, separately or all at once: VITRIOLIC let loose and live lawlessly on this 41-minute firestorm. Truly, this album is a testament to the burning underground spirit – theirs, yours, everyone's who believes in Hell's heavy metal – remaining grounded in the dirt of the past but digging up new graves that smell rottenly unfresh. The flag of hate of the original Teutonic Big Three flies proudly here, but VITRIOLIC manage to twist the knife in different-yet-honorable ways. As such, Black Steel Vengeance is equally at home in 1985, 1999, and 2025, such is its timeless gallop 'n' thrust. Raise your sword!

DVP 316 Axetasy – Withering Tides LP /CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present AXETASY's highly anticipated debut album, Withering Tides, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Stuttgart, Germany's AXETASY formed in 2020 with influences that belied their young age – namely, the speed metal, thrash, and black metal stalwarts of the '80s. Not for nothing is their furious, stubbornly obscure sound stuck there: while you're busy checking the calendar year, AXETASY have already dragged you into the insane depths of morbid ecstasy!
Now, after a debut and a couple digital singles, AXETASY charge the gates of Hell with their full-length debut, Withering Tides. After the short, scene-setting intro, Withering Tides gallops away into heavy metal heaven with a sound that's strikingly familiar yet somehow unique – strange magick, indeed! The four youngsters of AXETASY soon prove their mettle with a straightforward rush of just-black-enough speed metal dotted with tasty, atmospheric melodies and technically demanding passages. This is not the usual blackthrash trip; rare is it to find a modern band nailing the etched-in-time, Walls of Jericho-era Helloween sound with this much aplomb. As such, the production of Withering Tides totally befits their fun-yet-fiery, dark-but-not-completely chassis: gleaming and clean where it needs to be, and just dirty enough underneath. Nightmarish mayhem, for sure, and immediately memorable after just one listen...but you'll surely be possessed by AXETASY to press "play" 666 times!
Swords of steel aloft, AXETASY's Withering Tides comes heartily recommended for maniacs of labelmates HEXECUTOR and BLACKEVIL as well as former labelmates Sacrifizer, Cruel Force's more recent work, and Brazil's Evil Invaders – enter this "Fatal Maze" posthaste!

DVP 317 Time Rift – In Flight LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TIME RIFT's highly anticipated second album, In Flight, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
With minds towards the future and souls rooted in the history of rock, TIME RIFT is the rock 'n' roll time machine the world needs. Formed by Justin Kaye in 2014, with various line ups through the years, the band currently counts in its roster Terrica Catwood on drums (circa 2017) and Domino Monet on vocals (circa 2023). That doomed year of 2020 saw the DYING VICTIMS release of their debut album, Eternal Rock, and after the world re-opened, a plethora of dynamite shows in the American Northwest helped them hone their craft further.
Fast forward to today, and TIME RIFT is poised to kill. Witness their second album, In Flight. Taking influence from not just the greats of Motörhead, Led Zeppelin, The MC5, and Scorpions, but also stalwart singers such as Sinéad O'Connor, Grace Slick, and Doro Pesch, TIME RIFT deftly blend the power of heavy metal with the groove of rock. In Flight sounds so old and fresh simultaneously, you'll continually be checking your calendar for which year it is – in either direction – throughout the album's punchy & powerful 31-minute duration. The arrival of Domino Monet as frontwoman is momentous, as her tough-yet-tender vocals give the band an entirely new dynamic: a swirling cauldron of emotive mid-'70s hard rock and early '80s metal, lean and mean and minimalist but BIGGER than ever. Be warned – TIME RIFT is In Flight!

DVP 327 Pagan Altar – Never Quite Dead Box/LP/CD/MC/T-Shirt
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present PAGAN ALTAR's highly anticipated sixth album, Never Quite Dead, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats.
PAGAN ALTAR are the very definition of a CULT band. Formed in 1978, during the early days of the influential NWOBHM movement, they honed their craft onstage with an eerie, dramatic presentation. And yet, the PAGAN ALTAR sound tended more toward doom metal – which, back then, was not quite yet a subgenre with its own aesthetics – but also infused with their native English folk as well as hard rock. Still, the world outside the UK would not know about the band until years after their dissolution, with the 1998 release of Volume 1, PAGAN ALTAR's debut album recorded in 1982. Thereafter, the cult of PAGAN ALTAR would begin to grow, and a whole new fanbase hungry for old sounds waited for any sign of uncovered gold.
In 2004, treasures aplenty began to appear. First was The Time Lord EP, which dated back to PAGAN ALTAR's very earliest days, and later that year came the full-length Lords of Hypocrisy, whose material was originally recorded during 1982-1984 but was re-recorded in 2004: past to present, the band was indeed active again! A year later, the full-length Judgement of the Dead arrived, featuring material written between 1978 and 1981 and recorded in 1982 but remastered in 1998; a bonus track recorded in 2004 was added, again bringing past to present. Past and present truly collided on 2006's monolithic Mythical & Magical – truly, a perfect description of PAGAN ALTAR at the height of their mesmerizing powers – which featured material spanning 1977-1983 but recorded over the course of 2005 and 2006. Thereafter, only two new songs would emerge for a while – one on a split with Jex Thoth in 2007, the other in 2011 – before, tragically, founding vocalist Terry Jones' death from cancer in 2015. However, before his death and led by his son and co-founding guitarist Alan, the band had been working on another album, which would later be finished and released in 2017 as The Room of Shadows.
Miraculously, The Room of Shadows proved not to be the band's epitaph, as PAGAN ALTAR defy time and return with Never Quite Dead – a "new" record in theory, but one bearing the imprint of the past, particularly with Terry Jones' unmistakable touch. On vocals here is Brendan Radigan, who true metallers will know from Magic Circle, Sumerlands, Savage Oath, and tons more. His somber, ever-so-poignant tones pay reverence to the prevailing PAGAN ALTAR sound whilst putting a distinctive touch upon Never Quite Dead. As Alan Jones details within the album's liner notes, nearly all the songs on the album – barring the closer "Kismet," which came as a precursor to Alan's band Malac's Cross in the early '90s – originated while Terry was still alive, and thus does Never Quite Dead remain an authentically PAGAN ALTAR album. From the Rainbow-rocking opener "Saints and Sinners" on to trad-doom juggernauts like "Liston Church" and "The Dead's Last March" to the emotional climax of the aforementioned "Kismet," pretty much every aspect of PAGAN ALTAR is covered in incredibly compelling fashion...even the folk instrumental "Westbury Express," keeping the mythical & magical alive. Never Quite Dead? You better believe it!

DVP 328 Venator – Psychodrome Box/LP/CD/MC
DVP 205 Venator – Echoes from the Gutter LP 4th pressing
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Austria's VENATOR, Psychodrome, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Forming in 2016, it took VENATOR a while to get going, but when they finally did – it was ON! In 2020, the Austrians released their debut EP, Paradiser, which DYING VICTIMS eventually put on a split LP with the late ANGEL BLADE. Those three songs were an incredibly auspicious first start, showing VENATOR as a band seemingly thawed out from 1983, so authentic and skyward was their songwriting. As the buzz began to build, it came to boil with the band's debut album, Echoes From the Gutter. Released by DYING VICTIMS in early 2022, VENATOR's debut album was everything a first full-length should be: a summation of demo legwork, but an equally concerted strive for new & greater heights. Electricity was positively bristling from every second of the record; stunningly addicting, one anthem after another was doled out in seemingly effortless fashion, showing VENATOR as young masters of melody and moodiness.
Following the release of Echoes From the Gutter, VENATOR made good on their street-level charm by hitting any new stage they could, heavily gigging first with labelmates MEGATON SWORD in 2023 and then with labelmates TOXIKULL last year. That increased charisma spills over into their second album, Psychodrome. Indeed, with a title and cover like that, Psychodrome builds an era-specific atmosphere that's "on brand" for a vintage-savvy band like VENATOR – but such sometimes-superficial moves would all be for naught if they didn't have the SONGS to back them up! And back 'em up, VENATOR do here, showing ever more sides to their sonic arsenal whilst sounding characteristically themselves. Much of LP#2 punches forward to a cruising mid-tempo – fist-shaking, for sure, but never overly speedy – while some other songs dip into tempos both faster and slower. But no matter the speed, VENATOR quickly and compellingly establish mood and almighty MELODY: street level as before, but with that heart-on-sleeve passion that puts this into a realm all its own – one that's authentically mid '80s heavy metal heroism in one sense, but strangely refreshing in another. Frontman Hans Huemer once again rallies the warriors with a performance that's rough and emotive in equal measure, while the rest of his bandmates sharpen their swords with slightly more clarity and spit-shine those godly HOOKS to deadly levels. A lateral development from their almighty debut, then, but another modern classic in the making!
Just like that debut LP, anyone pining for the 1983/'84 peak of the likes of Tokyo Blade, Grim Reaper, OZ, Witch Cross, Heavy Load, and even Judas Priest, here again do you have a band adding to that hallowed lineage rather than plagiarizing it – or perhaps moving the calendar year to 1985, fucking CLASSIC either way. VENATOR command you to enter their Psychodrome!

DVP 329 Hyena – About Rock and Roll LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Peru's HYENA, About Rock and Roll, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from the highlands of Cajamarca, Peru's HYENA have been delivering true and uncompromising heavy metal since 2018. Founded by guitarist and songwriter Alfonso Espinoza, the band emerged with a clear mission: to keep the spirit of heavy metal alive and untamed.
With a career forged in the underground, HYENA's music is pure adrenaline – direct, explosive, and unapologetic. Their demos and raw recordings have been released around the globe, earning a cult following among diehard maniacs of authentic, no-frills heavy metal. HYENA's extensive touring journey has taken them from spontaneous, off-the-grid gigs in remote locations to headlining underground festivals across Latin America, Asia, and Oceania, where the passion for metal reigns supreme.
Now, HYENA are unleashing About Rock and Roll, their aptly titled debut album. This ten-track attack captures the band's energy and unwavering commitment to the roots of heavy metal – particularly the genre's earliest days, during the pivotal late '70s, when rock 'n' roll indeed still formed the foundation. Packed with vicious, headbanging riffs that make you want to raise your fist and let all Hell break loose, About Rock and Roll delivers solos as memorable as they are fierce, a relentless rhythm section that's pure pounding-metal, and a commanding vocal performance that pierces through and devastates everything in its path.
Influenced by NWOBHM, Japanese heavy metal, and speed metal, HYENA channel the spirit of bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Motörhead – big names, sure, but reverence is key when taking this torch. To coincide with the release of About Rock and Roll , HYENA will perform for their first time on European solo at the 25th anniversary of the legendary Keep it True Festival.

DVP 330 The Riven – Visions of Tomorrow LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS is proud to present THE RIVEN's highly anticipated third album, Visions of Tomorrow, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2016, Stockholm-by-way-of-London power rockers THE RIVEN have carved a uniquely compelling place for themselves, drawing musical influence from a wide array of genres. Hard rock, old prog, early heavy metal, and even simply rock 'n' roll itself: no mossy stone is left unturned by THE RIVEN. And when combined with their lyrical themes – from everyday life all the way to the fantasy-inspired, with sometimes both intertwining – the quintet have forged their own path, displaying a sound fitting firmly within the late '70's and early '80s but with an effervescence that feels palpably modern.
Where their second album, 2022's Peace and Conflict, felt like a watershed moment – moving from the "powerful rocker" of their eponymous debut album in 2019 to an emotive, electric, but no-less-earthy sort of NWOBHM – THE RIVEN sound positively poised for another breakthrough with their forthcoming third full-length, Visions of Tomorrow. Presciently titled, Visions of Tomorrow struts and sways with that sort of star quality that can only come from total, utter self-belief...and absolutely stunning songs! The sound is more present and raw then before, ear-effortlessly exuding dynamics lost to most "hard rock" bands. THE RIVEN here offer a sumptuous feast of familiar-yet-fresh heavy rock built on massive HOOKS and HEART. Not for nothing have they become a finely honed ensemble; touring nonstop has been the band's lifeblood for years now, and that tangible sense of magick swirls about each of these 11 anthems. New drummer Elias Jonsson pumps that blood with an almost "laidback urgency," and the rest of THE RIVEN let rip with what they liken more "complete" songwriting: the songs may be shorter than previous ones, but they're undeniably more action-packed and nuanced.
Interestingly, while writing for Visions of Tomorrow was done in Stockholm in late 2023, THE RIVEN was selected for an international studio residency as part of the Swedish national arts association, and the band lived for a few days at the highly prestigious studio Fascination Street in Örebro. The album was mixed and co-produced by Robert Pehrsson. (The Hellacopters, Tribulation, Dead Lord among others). Lyrically, Visions of Tomorrow showcases a band that is frustrated about how the world is run, who's in charge, and what is about to happen to the rest of us. Musically, it showcases a band that can handle their instruments and is willing to explore and go on musical journeys. THE RIVEN themselves claim that this third album is "a fine example of rock 'n' roll being played at its best – it's honest, it's urgent, it's calling you, and it will make you shake your fist and bang your head – all while thinking about where we are and where we are going."
Wherever you want to go with Visions of Tomorrow, there's no disputing the fact that THE RIVEN are poised to take over the biggest stages all over the world!

DVP 318 Mean Mistreater – Do or Die LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEAN MISTREATER's highly anticipated second album, Do or Die, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hot on the heels of their heralded debut album, Razor Wire – originally self-released in early 2023, but released internationally by DYING VICTIMS later that summer – MEAN MISTREATER return with their second full-length, Do or Die. Their debut served as a declaration of intent, showcasing a sound that is both feral and refined. Rejecting the confines of conventional labels like "female-fronted" or "NWOTHM," MEAN MISTREATER here assert their identity as a powerful collective, committed to pushing the boundaries of traditional heavy metal. With their uncompromising attitude and undeniable skill, they stand out in a crowded genre, ready to carve out their own place in the heavy metal landscape.
The songwriting is largely unchanged on Do or Die – classic metal melded with retro hard rock, with foremost influences being Warlock, Chastain, and early W.A.S.P. – but MEAN MISTREATER's execution is off the charts here. Urgent, passionate, like street-walking cheetahs with hearts full of napalm, the Texas natives fire off one rough 'n' ready anthem after another here, keeping that songwriting short / sharp / shocked. Indeed, it's difficult to find a record this concise – eight songs in 27 minutes – that also feels so complete. It's fair to say, then, that this blazing band is firing on every cylinder as they ascend the traditional metal ladder, leaving audiences hungry for more of their unapologetic sound and intoxicating live shows.
Proving that they're no flash in the pan, with Do or Diedo MEAN MISTREATER continue to build on their early success, delivering the intense and captivating music that fans have come to expect from them.

DVP 319 Scumripper – For a Few Fixes More LP /CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SCUMRIPPER's highly anticipated second album, For a Few Fixes More, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Headsplit Records have released the CD and cassette tape editions for North America.
Finland's degraded fiends SCUMRIPPER are finally back. For almost a decade, they've witnessed the world burn through a sewer hole and felt the slime gather in their burnt-to-a-fuck throats. Now they are ready to rip out your spines with their sophomore album, For a Few Fixes More.
Following 2019's All Veins Blazing debut, with the band's reputation as an uncompromising live act fully established, the power trio of vocalist/guitarist Rat Pitt, drummer Son Stalker, and bassist Cliff Hunger return with the comparably epic For a Few Fixes More. Indeed, with the runtime padded out to 28 minutes, SCUMRIPPER prove they're still able to (quickly) kick out nasty, sewer-drenched jams, but they're also able to get kicking in many more ways than before. Whereas most of the debut album's tracks topped out at two minutes, most of the nine songs here on LP#2 outdistance such a short length, with the penultimate coming in "I Cum Pain," a five-minute menace of haunting, lurking trudge. Likewise, SCUMRIPPER have come to maximize their catchiness of yore, compelling both immediate headbanging and memorability. If anything, such influences as Impetigo, Midnight, and even Negative Approach have asserted themselves more fully on For a Few Fixes More, making for metalpunk that's more street-level – and more unique in an increasingly crowded subgenre.
Just when you thought they may have ended up in the nearest gutter, SCUMRIPPER are performing a long-awaited autopsy with integrity on the modern world. For a Few Fixes More is the crossover album no one saw coming: perfect death-thrashing punk rock for the end times.

DVP 320 Sinner Rage – Powerstrike LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SINNER RAGE's highly anticipated debut album, Powerstrike, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Making their public debut with a self-titled demo in early 2024, SINNER RAGE thrust themselves into the present with a sound wholly built on the past: pure and total HEAVY METAL during the genre's '80s heyday. Wasting no time defending the faith, the Spaniards return a full year later with their debut album, Powerstrike.
Truly titled, Powerstrike is an pitch-perfect throwback to the days when heavy metal supremacy were ruled by the likes of Judas Priest, Saxon, Queensrÿche, and Crimson Glory. Moving at a disarmingly relaxed strut, SINNER RAGE convey charisma and simple-yet-assured POWER during every second of this short & sweet tome. The hooks are heavy and headbanging, but the quartet exhibit a keen knack for spacious, almost-atmospheric dynamics; the riffing hits even harder when coming back from those quieter moments, and frontman Aritz Martinez's pipes likewise sound even silkier. Some would simply qualify that as a further (and seamless) extension of old-days metal values, before speed and energy overload took over, and they'd not be wrong.
Whatever way you approach it, Powerstrike will send shivers of déjà vu through every soul who's ever bled for metal, but make no mistake: SINNER RAGE are absolutely authentic to the bone, no matter the calendar year!

DVP 321 Armory – Black Star 7″
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from Sweden's ARMORY, Black Star, on 7" vinyl format. The EP is a co-release with Jawbreaker Records.
Out of the deep void in the far corners of the universe, the entity known as ARMORY was born in the year 2012 C.E. With the guiding light of the fiery stars Judas Priest, Agent Steel, and Slayer, ARMORY set out on a cosmic path delivering hyper-speed metal to every planet, system, and galaxy in their path. Their two first albums, World Peace... Cosmic War (2016) and The Search (2018), were released via High Roller Records, garnering ever greater reviews.
Under the new flag of DYING VICTIMS, ARMORY's third album, Mercurion, was unleashed during the spring of 2022 and followed by a European tour in 2023. This further cemented that ARMORY are a force to be reckoned with on the intergalactic battleground.
ARMORY's upcoming operations are set in motion, and the next chapter starts with the deployment of the two-song EP Black Star in February 2025 C.E. Featuring two brand-new and exclusive songs – the title track on side A, and "Solar Winds" on side B – ARMORY deliver a rapid barrage of hyper-speed metal with influences and feelings from the dark, cold void that engulfs us all. It's immediately, recognizably ARMORY, but this EP displays with breathless brevity that the band are handily transcending their not-inconsiderable past and setting the cosmic stage for glory of a most universal nature, all of which will be revealed on their next full-length for DYING VICTIMS later in 2025!

DVP 331 Sexmag – Sexorcyzm LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SEXMAG's highly anticipated debut album, Sexorcyzm, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Possessed night. Full moon. A disgusting corpse digs its rotting body out of a cold grave. Twisted death will soon attack for the second time, forcing the metalheads to bang their heads.
Thus comes the full-length arrival of SEXMAG, appropriately titled Sexorcyzm. If 2021's Sex Metal lewdly introduced these Polish degenerates to the international metal underground – a full 25 minutes of caustic & careening sound, drawing equal strength from '80s proto-black metal and the vilest thrash – then this 39-minute debut album will decisively blow open the gates to Hell. Whereas that mini-album sounded like the most garaged old New Renaissance release left rotting in the sun and covered in black-candle wax, here do SEXMAG up the evil and sharpen their still-rusty attack, expursing sodomy and total desaster across this Sexorcyzm. This monster of dead Silesia and his four servants unleash a hell-load of Total Metal – worshiping Satan and summoning the old spirits of Sarcófago, Tormentor, Bulldozer and Destruction. The sensation of OLD drapes everything about Sexorcyzm: sorcerous songwriting, vintage analog recording, just enough gutter reverb, and an all-encompassing atmosphere of the supernatural and sexual. You already know if this is for you, or whether you need to promptly leave the hall.
Feel invited into the darkest medieval tale, full of unholiness, perversion, and absolute horror. Tragic black magic will cast a spell on you and force you to keep Metal Total or die: SEXMAG have invoked their Sexorcyzm!

DVP 332 Fly! – ...or Die! LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia's FLY!, ...or Die! , on CD and vinyl LP formats.
FLY! is a fast and mean rock 'n' roll machine from Melbourne. Emerging from the darkest depths of the Aussie wastelands, FLY! united with a singular vision: to play fast, loud, and mean rock 'n' roll, harkening back to the raw power of 1970s and early '80s rock. Inspired by the likes of Motörhead, Judas Priest, and AC/DC, FLY! are a rough 'n' rowdy amalgam of their influences, and then some!
Formed in 2023, FLY! blasted onto the Australian rock scene, playing up and down the east coast and leaving a trail of destruction (and empty beer cans) in their wake. 2024 saw the release of FLY!'s dangerous debut demo with a string of blistering national performances to follow, seeing FLY! share the stage with the likes of the Cosmic Psychos, Cancer Bats, and heavy metal brethren (and now-labelmates) AARDVARK, among many others.
With two songs reprised from that demo, the quartet now present their first full-length, ...or Die! Wasting not a whole minute as they ride "Into the Wasteland", these road warriors take flight across the 11-track / 39-minute album: a no-holds-barred love letter to speed, desert highways, murderous marauders and relentless riffs. Lean, mean and unclean, their high-speed, raw-power rock 'n' roll kicks out the jams with judicious efficiency. There's no overthinking these desert-wasteland anthems; you simply hop on and go, go, go! FLY!'s vicious, high-speed rock explores themes such as weapons, beer, homicidal maniacs, and the power of acceleration! And while not overtly retro-oriented, there's an authentically late '70s feel to ...or Die!, from the just-distorted-enough guitar tones, the crash 'n' bash rhythms, and especially the songwriting itself: juiced up like Bomber, strutting like Stained Class, sleazy like Powerage. Add in a touch of mid '70s Thin Lizzy and a punk-and-proud attitude like Zeke – or hell, even spiritual cues to their homeland's rich tradition of garage rock – and you're left with no choice: FLY! ...or Die!

DVP 333 Hellcrash – Inferno Crematörio LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HELLCRASH's highly anticipated third album, Inferno Crematörio, on CD and vinyl LP.
You wouldn't have guessed it early on, but HELLCRASH would eventually – and patiently – refine their ancient attack, relatively "cleaning up" something still unclean. When they formed in 2013, a debut album was still a way off, but when it landed in 2021 on vinyl via DYING VICTIMS, Krvcifix Invertör proved HELLCRASH were a power-trio in the grand tradition of domestic legends Bulldozer, brewing a similarly sleazy (and EVIL) style of speed metal. And yet, despite another OTT cover suggesting otherwise, their second album announced that there was MUCH more brewing in HELLCRASH's cauldron. Released in 2023, Demonic Assassination saw a fine-tuning of songcraft and a polishing of production that paid off in spades, now nodding more to later GBH, Carnivore, and Warfare.
Alas, a dozen years after their formation, HELLCRASH have pulled off the impossible and refined this attack even further with LP#3, Inferno Crematörio. Of course, another totally OTT cover graces the album, and somehow it makes absolute sense with where HELLCRASH are now going. Whereas its predecessor took various routes – sometimes more speed metal, other times more thrash, or even metalpunk before it was such a thing, often all in the same song – Inferno Crematörio sees a streamlining of their songcraft and a "deftening" of sensibilities, where energy is retained and even doubled through more dynamic playing and indeed an emphasis on dynamics itself. By and large, HELLCRASH here sound their most blackened, but "blackened" in the sense of evil thrash and speed metal imbued with more atmosphere: not "spooky" in the kooky sense, but definitely more sulfurous and sinful, brimming with a sense of space that sounds huge and intimate simultaneously. Likewise, the trio exhibit a newfound charisma that (spit)shines through this sulfurous surge, like Satan laughing as he spreads his wings. That everything's not 666% overdrive all the time ably benefits these ten tracks – and concluding with 10-minute(!) epic in "Templars' Curse" – resulting in a more thoroughly headbanging, maybe-medieval, and immediately memorable listen. And, truth be told, perhaps HELLCRASH's best record yet...but only time will tell.
In the meantime, maniacs for such '90s icons like Zemial and Germany's Desaster or especially such esteemed labelmates as NOCTURNAL, BLACKEVIL, and HEXECUTOR, you're hereby commanded to reap the hellish bounty of HELLCRASH's Inferno Crematörio!

DVP 334 Animalize – Verminateur LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to (finally!) present the unexpected second album of the ANIMALIZE frenchies, Verminateur, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
At last, the second wind of youth is blowing for "French Heavy Metal" – and, to be honest, not a moment too soon. It took just over 40 years for France to finally have its own heavy shock-rock band, ANIMALIZE: a name you may already have seen on some French and German lineup events over the last four years.
"Who do these extroverts think they are, sporting outrageous outfits with harnesses and chains? Brandishing a chainsaw and a katana in the middle of a concert, then vomiting blood all over the audience? Really?!" Yes, really.
Year 2025. ANIMALIZE are back with a new full-length, Verminateur – but this time, entirely in French, at the request of maniacs since their first record, 2020's Tales From the Crypt EP. If their Meat We're Made Of debut album in 2022 showed the visible part of the iceberg, then Verminateur displays the true sound of the band, pushing the boundaries! That celebrated first full-length might've seen the band evince a sort of restless genius – speed metal synthesized with power-thrash and traditional metal into a dizzying-yet-addicting blend, jumping across countries and even continents with insane ease – but on Verminateur, ANIMALIZE lock into a lazer-sighted focus that sees them making good on the anthemic side of things they only hinted at before. Mostly mid-tempo, strutting and cruising with charisma, nearly all of the album's ten tracks (barring a one-minute synthy & cinematic "Invasion" and the dramatic piano piece "Prière de Remords") hit that heavenly balance between buoyant hook and heavy thrust, between rock-god maximalism and back-street mischief. It'd not be inaccurate to say some of the tracks could've been on MTV circa 1985...if that channel aired in France. And when ANIMALIZE wanna rip forth in speed metal mode, they do so with a streamlined power that's a marvel to behold. Oh, and the all-French lyrics simply make Verminateur that much more sublime, surprising, and above all unique.
For he is the earth cancer eliminator. He is the VERMINATEUR! Because the vermin is YOU.
To coincide with the release of ANIMALIZE's Verminateur, DYING VICTIMS will be reissuing Meat We're Made Of. Taste the New Wave of French Heavy Metal...again!

DVP 323 Hexecutor – ...Where Spirit Withers in its Flesh Constraint LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXECUTOR's highly anticipated third album, ...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2011, French quartet HEXECUTOR started with a foundation of raw-and-fierce evil old-school speed/thrash metal, as exemplified by their debut demo and Hangman of Roazhon EP from 2012 and 2014, respectively. Thereafter, they slowly-yet-firmly evolved in various directions when they released Poison, Lust and Damnation debut album in 2016, which DYING VICTIMS released on vinyl a year later.
After proving themselves to be a very efficient live act, HEXECUTOR immersed themselves into Breton legends and history, intertwining their music with Breton lore for their second album, 2020's Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge.... Along with being something of a modern classic – amazingly thorough in its conceptual background, boundlessly inventive in its execution – that album proved to be a turning point for the band: a concerted and confident elevation beyond the standard "blackthrash" tropes so prevalent in the modern underground.
As considerable as that accomplishment was, HEXECUTOR are eclipsing it with their third album, delving yet deeper into dark legends and impressive figures from Celtic-Breton lore. Titled ...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint, LP#3 both sonically and elliptically continues where its momentous predecessor left off; not for nothing is the opening song the belated title track "Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge...." Ripping right out of the gates, HEXECUTOR continue their evolution unabated, adding once again to the richness of their music, and this time with songwriting from both their former and new lead guitarists. Their core is still thrash metal, but even just a cursory listen of ...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint reveals that there's few "thrash" records that will sound like this – this year, or the next, or the year after that. Seemingly effortlessly – or, at least, with some strange magick unique to them – HEXECUTOR lurk yonder into realms both black and more traditionally heavy metal, even venturing far afield into some progressives touches. And whereas Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge... carried a huge conceptual weight, the feeling across ...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint is freer and almost airier, despite this still being DARK heavy metal at its core.
HEXECUTOR are HEXECUTOR, now more than ever: renewing the genre and trying to bring this opus as a new gem to the treasures of metal music...Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint!

DVP 324 Lady Beast – The Inner Alchemist LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to release LADY BEAST's highly anticipated fifth album, The Inner Alchemist, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since 2009, LADY BEAST have been flying the flag for refined HEAVY METAL. The band hail from the Steel City of Pittsburgh, forming with firm influences ranging from Motörhead, Dio, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Mercyful Fate. From there, LADY BEAST have weaved their own unique style of metal with silky-yet-sharp harmonizing guitars and the soaring, rally-the-warriors vocals of frontwoman Deborah Levine. All the while, they've retained their blue-collar roots but have never forgotten the majesty of metal in its earliest, most classic form: fantasy, magic, epic adventure, and of course ANTHEMS!
While it's been five long years since their last full-length – but only a year after DYING VICTIMS stepped in to reissue on vinyl their second album, 2015's pivotal Lady Beast II – LADY BEAST suitably explode from the gates with palpitating urgency on The Inner Alchemist. Mind you, the band aren't necessarily trying to break any speed limits here on LP#5, but rather, it's the power, poise, and all-out swagger they exude on The Inner Alchemist which instills the sensation that LADY BEAST have only been away mere minutes. Thankfully, little has changed in their sturdy aesthetic – authentically '80s-entrenched HEAVY METAL that struts and gallops with equal aplomb, buttressed by instantly-hummable riffs and a palpable atmosphere of swords & sorcery – but if there's one main distinction, it's that the production on The Inner Alchemist highlights their heaviness, giving crunch when proceedings go locomotive and majesty when those proceedings go harmonic. As always, Levine's passionate & powerful vocals are as engaging as ever: emotive and narrative in equal measure, still standing tall atop the keep-it-true pack.
Graced with evocative cover artwork by Adam Burke, LADY BEAST are sure stirring up something with The Inner Alchemist!

DVP 325 Gallower – Vengeance & Wrath LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present GALLOWER's highly anticipated second album, Vengeance & Wrath, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
GALLOWER – the Witching Metal power-trio from Tychy, Poland – have been unleashing their blackthrash fury upon the underground for over a decade. Since their formation in 2015, the band have become a bastion of old-school metal, raw aggression, blistering energy, and a dark medieval aesthetic. Their lyrics immerse listeners in the shadowy world of GALLOWER, a 15th-century land where magic, monsters, and unholy evil reign supreme.
GALLOWER's discography is a journey into the heart of metal's purest traditions: demos Witch Hunt is On (2015) and Through the Gallows (2016), through their debut album Behold the Realm of Darkness (2020), to the EP Eastern Witchcraft (2022), released under the banner of DYING VICTIMS. Each release is a testament to GALLOWER's commitment to keeping the old-school flame alive while crafting a unique and immersive soundscape. Their next recording, the full-length Vengeance & Wrath, won't be any different and will release the bubonic plague once again!
GALLOWER's live shows, brimming with unrelenting energy and a raw aggression, leave no man spared and no cross unturned – and that finely honed finesse reaches its apotheosis on Vengeance & Wrath. Truly titled, Vengeance & Wrath encapsulates and exaggerates the GALLOWER aesthetic to date: a perfect storm of thrashing-mad riffs, harsh-yet-articulate vocals, pitch-black intensity, and epic storytelling, all with medieval atmosphere to spare. It's not so much a vertical improvement as it is a lateral one, for to do anything beyond the remit of truest metal would be a fate worse than death! No more but definitely no less, GALLOWER strive to reach the hallowed halls of Venom, Destruction, Bathory, Sodom, and the Japanese Sabbat – and from this vantage point, with Vengeance & Wrath do they walk that path honorably.
This is Witching Metal: an unholy call to arms for all who live and die for the old school. Arm yourself with a bulletbelt, take this torch, and prepare for battle — the witch hunt has begun, and GALLOWER lead the charge into darkness with Vengeance & Wrath!

Received my order today. Maybe I'm getting conservative in my old age (!), but perhaps ye shouldn't stick empty LP sleeves with exaggeratedly NSFW artwork (in this case a bound woman on her knees with her arsehole showing and a demon with his erect member in her decapitated head) in an order of records that don't at all have NSFW artwork. I regularly open parcels with my kid since I don't expect to receive unsolicited explicit puerility. I've no problem with the artwork existing, just don't be sending it to people who didn't ask for it ffs.
Which band? Impurity??

DVP 335 Angel of Damnation – Ethereal Blasphemy LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ANGEL OF DAMNATION's highly anticipated third album, Ethereal Blasphemy, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
ANGEL OF DAMNATION was formed in 2003 with the intention to create epic traditional doom metal influenced by the likes of Candlemass, Witchfinder General, and Saint Vitus on one side and the more '70s vibe of Pentagram and Black Sabbath on the other. The metal part of doom always was a major focus – in other words, putting guitar riffs over soundscapes. Lyrically, the band could maybe be mistaken for a black metal band but dealing less with Satanism and, instead in general, darker topics throughout the history of mankind. The band has a soft spot for blasphemy and simply mocking everything holy and religion in general.
Naturally, all this comes from a host of longtime scene veterans: NOCTURNAL / Front Beast mainman Avenger on guitar, the rhythm section of Cross Vault, and prolific vocalist Gerrit Mutz (Sacred Steel, Battleroar, Dawn of Winter) under the ever-apt handle Doomcult Messiah. Erstwhile NOCTURNAL / BLACKEVIL drummer Hellbastard and his replacement, Cross Vault / Halphas drummer Tempestas, have since departed, and now replaced by Neudi of Sentry, Trance, and ex-Manilla Road. ANGEL OF DAMNATION are nothing if not diehards!
And, seven years since their last full-length, they're here to prove it again with Ethereal Blasphemy. Thankfully, little has changed in the sonic world of ANGEL OF DAMNATION, and their third album is thus a reassertion of ancient powers. Like some lost relic of the NWOBHM, on Ethereal Blasphemy do the quartet purge the witchfinder generals and celebrate the old-world splendor of medieval witchery. From opener "Eternal Life in Hell" to closer "Anal Worship of the Goatlord," ANGEL OF DAMNATION lumber forward with the proud poise of titans, exuding heaviness even when the riffs aren't strictly crushing; there's an almost relaxed gait to the album that's relatively unique for doom metal, maximizing the balance between hook and atmosphere. Credit is due to Neudi, for his looser and more-open style seems like a natural fit for the band, imparting a new dynamic to ANGEL OF DAMNATION whilst keeping their signature sound. The whole album was recorded in Avenger's own cellar, known as the "Somewhere in Nowhere" Studio, fully produced by himself; only the mix & mastering was given to the Journey Into Eternity Studios, and it all results in Ethereal Blasphemy having a vibrant-yet-eldritch feel.
In the past 20-plus years, ANGEL OF DAMNATION have played live only a handful of times, but to celebrate the arrival of this third album, the band will play a few select shows following its release. Graced with an uncharacteristical artwork courtesy of the legendary Chris Moyen, Ethereal Blasphemy will make you kneel before the goat!

DVP 336 Morbyda – Under the Spell LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MORBYDA's highly anticipated debut album, Under the Spell, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Leipzig, Germany's MORBYDA was founded 2022 by vocalist / guitarist Mogli (Indian Nightmare) and drummer Joris (BOUNDLESS CHAOS, Warm Swords) with the intention to shred some skull-crushing blackened speed metal. Early on, their influences were drawn from the more traditional but equally fast bands of the New Wave of Heavy Metal movement like Skull Fist, Evil Invaders, and Stallion. Thus armed, the duo wrote their first songs, which tended to have a darker and more evil approach than said bands.After the joining of second guitarist Julez (Sintage) and bassist Antoni (Pursuit), MORBYDA completed and recorded their first Demo(n) Tape in 2023 during some more-than-drunken nights in the valleys of Leipzig. Armed with that demo, MORBYDA sharpened their knives and started to play many gigs: Over the Edge 3, Antifascist Black Metal Gathering, touring with BOUNDLESS CHAOS and Necromancer, and many more. In August 2024, they recorded their debut full-length.
A grand debut statement, MORBYDA's Under the Spell is a fresh breath of old air. Wild yet locked-in, exhibiting both the fury of youth and the ageless wisdom of the ancients, the band's debut album remains a HEAVY METAL album above all. The atmosphere may be blackened, the pace swift but never overly speedy, the shifts in dynamics and textures equally restless and thoughtful, but MORBYDA display a maturity beyond their young years here; even calling Under the Spell "blackened speed metal" betrays the depth of their compositions. The dual-lead work alone enflames the senses, sulfurous and yet very nearly NWOBHM, and the quartet's energy – again, no matter the tempo – is simply off the charts here. On sheer charisma alone, MORBYDA could convince the most skeptical of listeners.Old-days references could include Japan's Sabbat, millennial Nifelheim, the late / great Eidomantum, early Tribulation, or Hungary's Tormentor, but all that's to underline just how advanced MORBYDA are at this early stage. It's almost guaranteed you'll fall Under the Spell!

DVP 337 Skräcken – Echoes from the Void LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SKRÄCKEN's highly anticipated debut album, Echoes From the Void, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2022, Sweden's SKRÄCKEN are a band with roots in the forests around a small village in northern Dalarna. The idea for SKRÄCKEN was born through sleep paralysis, where an old lady in an 18th-century dress came to visit: the title of their debut EP, The Presence, was thus apt. The quintet may be new in name but include in their ranks vocalist Sofie-Lee Johansson, formerly of the late / great Night Viper.
If the 19-minute The Presence was but a foretaste of their potential, SKRÄCKEN are set to blow open the doors with their first full-length, Echoes From the Void. Totaling nine songs in 41 minutes, SKRÄCKEN's debut album is a tour de force of moody, melancholic hard rock that seemingly sits in its own category. With some sort of strange magick, the Swedes evoke ancient visions of obscure '70s and '80s hard rock without sounding exactly like anyone; it's more down to feeling, of being lost in time but not quite knowing how you got there. Across Echoes From the Void lingers a thick fog of the occult – the sulfur and brimstone swirl just at the corners of perception, as do visions of misty moors – and the brisk-but-never-busy gait of SKRÄCKEN's songwriting helps cement the sensation of hypnosis or, indeed, sleep paralysis. But through it all, the band remain hard-rocking to the very end, melancholic their muse may be. Of course, Johansson's powerful & distinctive pipes vividly illustrate these visions drawn from paintings by Zdzislaw Beksinski and the dark sides of society. Open your ears and hear SKRÄCKEN's Echoes From the Void!

DVP 338 Lucille – Dawn of Destruction LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS is proud to present LUCILLE's highly anticipated debut album, Dawn of Destruction, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2017, LUCILLE offer fresh blood to Poland's ever-expanding thrash metal scene. Inspired by classics of the genre such as Slayer as early Megadeth as well as the German school of old Kreator, Destruction, and Living Death, they began spreading their evil through numerous gigs and shows in their native land. On this recording, LUCILLE paid sonic tribute to the golden days of thrash – years when this music was authentically strong and raw, and before the aforementioned bands set the limits of musical extremes.Soon after those recordings, the Covid madness began, and LUCILLE's lineup changed rapidly. After a while, Jugen took over as a drummer, and the next year, they found the missing pieces: bassist M. Höllenhund and lead guitarist K. Dragunov. From then on, LUCILLE became a solid quartet. Powered by the atomic energy of a drum attack, quick-ripping riffs, wild solo duels, raw-throated vocals, and bone-crushing bass, they played countless shows and prepared to record their long-awaited debut album.
And, finally, it's here! Titled Dawn of Destruction, LUCILLE make good on that titular promise with a total thrash explosion that takes the foundation of the first EP and then upratchets everything to an extreme – and authentic – degree. Influences from the elder American and Teutonic gods thankfully still in place, the quartet spit out eight screeds of THRASH METAL solely situated in the years 1985-1988 within a taut-yet-interesting 38 minutes. Just the guitar tone alone underlines that authenticity, but submit to their straightforward-but-never-simplistic songwriting and you'll find four men fully immersed in what made those golden years of thrash work their mightiest magick. Just as thankfully here, you won't find any fillers, stylistic experiments, cloying ballads, or modern twists; LUCILLE are nothing if not obsessed with said years, and they thus sow destruction, break spines, and kill poseurs across Dawn of Destruction.
Don't be fooled by their moniker: LUCILLE are 666% raw thrash attack with lyrics about doom, diseases, Satanic killers, and death in a post-apocalyptic world. This is their Dawn of Destruction!

DVP 339 Temptress – Catch the Endless Dawn LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Italy's TEMPTRESS, Catch the Endless Dawn, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2018, Italy's TEMPTRESS was founded by members of BUNKER 66, Children of Technology, Gargoyle, and Boia with the intent of giving free rein to their passion for the dreamiest and most melancholic heavy metal bands of the '80s – cult names such as Proud and Randy as well as the eternal Heavy Load and Gotham City, among others – without forgetting the darkness of such masters as Mercyful Fate, all seasoned with a genuine obsession for catchy and melodic choruses. Their journey into dreams began with the two-song The Orb 7" for DYING VICTIMS in 2019, which was later compiled onto the label's Dying Victims vol. 2: Heavy Metal Attack CD collection in 2023.
Now, the sleepers have awoken, and arrive from dreamland bearing their debut album: Catch the Endless Dawn. Truly titled, Catch the Endless Dawn sees TEMPTRESS moving measuredly, daresay silkily, across soft-haze heavy metal high on moody melody, brisk but never busy in their gait. The band's muse is most definitely OLD metal, but there's subtlety and an almost-hushed sense of class to their songwriting and execution that elevates the record beyond the skinny-headband & flares hordes: the former always seems pensive even when the mid-tempo pulse picks up into a relatively reined-in gallop, and the latter similarly utilizes restraint in its favor whilst conveying the requisite amount of energy. Likewise, while the realm of dreams runs parallel to the realm of fantasy, TEMPTRESS possess a palatably more delicate side compared to the D&D side of traditional metal, (dream)weaving something both emotional and hypnotic – truly, the "Dream Metal" of which they so sing here. Thus, the aforementioned influences are apt, but so are the likes of early '80s Rainbow, April Wine, or even Blue Öyster Cult's unsung dream-classic Club Ninja. Wake up and Catch the Endless Dawn!

DVP 340 Tèlma – Ανθρωποβόρος / Man-Eater LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TÈLMA's highly anticipated debut album, Ανθρωποβόρος, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Greece's vital doom scene, Τέλμα (TÈLMA) was formed in 2017 by Marios, Kostis, and Vangelis. All three men were brought together by their love for traditional doom metal, which led them to blend their influences of Russia's Scald, Chile's Procession, Reverend Bizarre, and the UK's Warning into songs of slow, ceremonial, and melancholic atmosphere, also incorporating elements of epic metal whilst staying true to the traditional doom metal spirit. In 2021, the band released the single "Ξίφη Στραμμένα Στο Φοίνικα," which appeared on the compilation Art Against Censorship. The addition of Chris on drums in early 2024 made possible the completion of their first full-length, Ανθρωποβόρος (English: "Man-Eater").
Originally released only digitally but now finding physical release courtesy of DYING VICTIMS, TÈLMA's debut album displays the blanching power of slo-mo emotion and forlorn majesty. Very much firmly within the wider doom pantheon but very much also fully conveying the band's particular personality, Ανθρωποβόρος nevertheless emits a unique atmosphere due to TÈLMA's usage of their native tongue: a conscious choice, and a challenge mastered. Fittingly for such literally weighty metal, the album's lyrics deal with the subjects of inner struggle, emancipation, the man-made misery of this world, and coming to terms with the inevitable end. That TÈLMA are able to weave distinctive melody and transfer those emotions beyond the meaning of the lyrics – no need to say "It's all Greek to me" here – adds a mysterious, multidimensional element to their epic doom, and suggests further mastery to come. Fans of the aforementioned as well as Solitude Aeternus, DoomSword, and Crypt Sermon are wholeheartedly encouraged to get devoured by Ανθρωποβόρος!

DVP 341 Iron Spell – From the Grave LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present IRON SPELL's highly anticipated second album, From the Grave, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Santiago, Chile's IRON SPELL was founded in mid-2013 by drummer and composer Felipe Carvajal (Steelhammer), initially with the idea of ��making a classic heavy metal album with friends, mixing the mysticism and darkness of King Diamond and Black Sabbath with hard & heavy rock from the '70s and '80s like KISS, Alice Cooper, Twisted Sister, and WA.S.P. The lack of commitment and involvement of some musicians considerably delayed the process, and what was going to be a full-length ended up being a four-song EP, Heavy Metal Witchcraft. Shortly after, the band uploaded Heavy Metal Witchcraft to social media, and the word spread fast: in a few weeks, it was released in Europe on 7″ vinyl, cassette, and CD by three different labels, with DYING VICTIMS being the first ones to believe in IRON SPELL and release this recording on cassette.
IRON SPELL made their live debut in March 2014 and continued to remain active despite a few lineup changes, always faithful to their style and sound. Both fully blossomed on their debut album, 2016's Electric Conjuring, which even featured Judas Priest's Richie Faulkner on one track. In 2021, IRON SPELL released both the EP Live Magic after Midnight and, later, the Argentinean compilation Witching Hour – The Best of Iron Spell.
The best was yet to come for IRON SPELL, though, and it's arrived at last in From the Grave. A more thorough-yet-effortless trip through the heavy metal '80s one will not find than what the Chileans present here on their second album. No stone is left unturned – or, rather, gravestone! – as IRON SPELL display the dazzling breadth of their metallic songcraft, all illustrating their thematic commitment to classic horror. From backstreet strutters to fleet-fingered speed-runs, cocksure hard rock to moody explorations of the supernatural, anthemic headbangers to equally anthemic speed metal, and even an eerie & evocative instrumental, From the Grave reads like the hypothetical soundtrack to an '80s horror flick, and the quintet positively ooze charisma at every darkly gleaming turn. And atop it all are the dramatic, wide-register vocals of frontman Merciless, who in turn serves as much as narrator as metal god. After 41 fully satisfying minutes and concluding with the chilling epic "Children of the Night," you'll fall under their IRON SPELL and rise From the Grave!

DVP 331 Sexmag – Sexorcyzm LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SEXMAG's highly anticipated debut album, Sexorcyzm, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Possessed night. Full moon. A disgusting corpse digs its rotting body out of a cold grave. Twisted death will soon attack for the second time, forcing the metalheads to bang their heads.
Thus comes the full-length arrival of SEXMAG, appropriately titled Sexorcyzm. If 2021's Sex Metal lewdly introduced these Polish degenerates to the international metal underground – a full 25 minutes of caustic & careening sound, drawing equal strength from '80s proto-black metal and the vilest thrash – then this 39-minute debut album will decisively blow open the gates to Hell. Whereas that mini-album sounded like the most garaged old New Renaissance release left rotting in the sun and covered in black-candle wax, here do SEXMAG up the evil and sharpen their still-rusty attack, expursing sodomy and total desaster across this Sexorcyzm. This monster of dead Silesia and his four servants unleash a hell-load of Total Metal – worshiping Satan and summoning the old spirits of Sarcófago, Tormentor, Bulldozer and Destruction. The sensation of OLD drapes everything about Sexorcyzm: sorcerous songwriting, vintage analog recording, just enough gutter reverb, and an all-encompassing atmosphere of the supernatural and sexual. You already know if this is for you, or whether you need to promptly leave the hall.
Feel invited into the darkest medieval tale, full of unholiness, perversion, and absolute horror. Tragic black magic will cast a spell on you and force you to keep Metal Total or die: SEXMAG have invoked their Sexorcyzm!

DVP 332 Fly! – ...or Die! LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia's FLY!, ...or Die! , on CD and vinyl LP formats.
FLY! is a fast and mean rock 'n' roll machine from Melbourne. Emerging from the darkest depths of the Aussie wastelands, FLY! united with a singular vision: to play fast, loud, and mean rock 'n' roll, harkening back to the raw power of 1970s and early '80s rock. Inspired by the likes of Motörhead, Judas Priest, and AC/DC, FLY! are a rough 'n' rowdy amalgam of their influences, and then some!
Formed in 2023, FLY! blasted onto the Australian rock scene, playing up and down the east coast and leaving a trail of destruction (and empty beer cans) in their wake. 2024 saw the release of FLY!'s dangerous debut demo with a string of blistering national performances to follow, seeing FLY! share the stage with the likes of the Cosmic Psychos, Cancer Bats, and heavy metal brethren (and now-labelmates) AARDVARK, among many others.
With two songs reprised from that demo, the quartet now present their first full-length, ...or Die! Wasting not a whole minute as they ride "Into the Wasteland", these road warriors take flight across the 11-track / 39-minute album: a no-holds-barred love letter to speed, desert highways, murderous marauders and relentless riffs. Lean, mean and unclean, their high-speed, raw-power rock 'n' roll kicks out the jams with judicious efficiency. There's no overthinking these desert-wasteland anthems; you simply hop on and go, go, go! FLY!'s vicious, high-speed rock explores themes such as weapons, beer, homicidal maniacs, and the power of acceleration! And while not overtly retro-oriented, there's an authentically late '70s feel to ...or Die!, from the just-distorted-enough guitar tones, the crash 'n' bash rhythms, and especially the songwriting itself: juiced up like Bomber, strutting like Stained Class, sleazy like Powerage. Add in a touch of mid '70s Thin Lizzy and a punk-and-proud attitude like Zeke – or hell, even spiritual cues to their homeland's rich tradition of garage rock – and you're left with no choice: FLY! ...or Die!

DVP 333 Hellcrash – Inferno Crematörio LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HELLCRASH's highly anticipated third album, Inferno Crematörio, on CD and vinyl LP.
You wouldn't have guessed it early on, but HELLCRASH would eventually – and patiently – refine their ancient attack, relatively "cleaning up" something still unclean. When they formed in 2013, a debut album was still a way off, but when it landed in 2021 on vinyl via DYING VICTIMS, Krvcifix Invertör proved HELLCRASH were a power-trio in the grand tradition of domestic legends Bulldozer, brewing a similarly sleazy (and EVIL) style of speed metal. And yet, despite another OTT cover suggesting otherwise, their second album announced that there was MUCH more brewing in HELLCRASH's cauldron. Released in 2023, Demonic Assassination saw a fine-tuning of songcraft and a polishing of production that paid off in spades, now nodding more to later GBH, Carnivore, and Warfare.
Alas, a dozen years after their formation, HELLCRASH have pulled off the impossible and refined this attack even further with LP#3, Inferno Crematörio. Of course, another totally OTT cover graces the album, and somehow it makes absolute sense with where HELLCRASH are now going. Whereas its predecessor took various routes – sometimes more speed metal, other times more thrash, or even metalpunk before it was such a thing, often all in the same song – Inferno Crematörio sees a streamlining of their songcraft and a "deftening" of sensibilities, where energy is retained and even doubled through more dynamic playing and indeed an emphasis on dynamics itself. By and large, HELLCRASH here sound their most blackened, but "blackened" in the sense of evil thrash and speed metal imbued with more atmosphere: not "spooky" in the kooky sense, but definitely more sulfurous and sinful, brimming with a sense of space that sounds huge and intimate simultaneously. Likewise, the trio exhibit a newfound charisma that (spit)shines through this sulfurous surge, like Satan laughing as he spreads his wings. That everything's not 666% overdrive all the time ably benefits these ten tracks – and concluding with 10-minute(!) epic in "Templars' Curse" – resulting in a more thoroughly headbanging, maybe-medieval, and immediately memorable listen. And, truth be told, perhaps HELLCRASH's best record yet...but only time will tell.
In the meantime, maniacs for such '90s icons like Zemial and Germany's Desaster or especially such esteemed labelmates as NOCTURNAL, BLACKEVIL, and HEXECUTOR, you're hereby commanded to reap the hellish bounty of HELLCRASH's Inferno Crematörio!

DVP 334 Animalize – Verminateur LP/CD
DVP 218 Animalize – Meat We're Made Of LP – 2nd pressing
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to (finally!) present the unexpected second album of the ANIMALIZE frenchies, Verminateur, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
At last, the second wind of youth is blowing for "French Heavy Metal" – and, to be honest, not a moment too soon. It took just over 40 years for France to finally have its own heavy shock-rock band, ANIMALIZE: a name you may already have seen on some French and German lineup events over the last four years.
"Who do these extroverts think they are, sporting outrageous outfits with harnesses and chains? Brandishing a chainsaw and a katana in the middle of a concert, then vomiting blood all over the audience? Really?!" Yes, really.
Year 2025. ANIMALIZE are back with a new full-length, Verminateur – but this time, entirely in French, at the request of maniacs since their first record, 2020's Tales From the Crypt EP. If their Meat We're Made Of debut album in 2022 showed the visible part of the iceberg, then Verminateur displays the true sound of the band, pushing the boundaries! That celebrated first full-length might've seen the band evince a sort of restless genius – speed metal synthesized with power-thrash and traditional metal into a dizzying-yet-addicting blend, jumping across countries and even continents with insane ease – but on Verminateur, ANIMALIZE lock into a lazer-sighted focus that sees them making good on the anthemic side of things they only hinted at before. Mostly mid-tempo, strutting and cruising with charisma, nearly all of the album's ten tracks (barring a one-minute synthy & cinematic "Invasion" and the dramatic piano piece "Prière de Remords") hit that heavenly balance between buoyant hook and heavy thrust, between rock-god maximalism and back-street mischief. It'd not be inaccurate to say some of the tracks could've been on MTV circa 1985...if that channel aired in France. And when ANIMALIZE wanna rip forth in speed metal mode, they do so with a streamlined power that's a marvel to behold. Oh, and the all-French lyrics simply make Verminateur that much more sublime, surprising, and above all unique.
For he is the earth cancer eliminator. He is the VERMINATEUR! Because the vermin is YOU.
To coincide with the release of ANIMALIZE's Verminateur, DYING VICTIMS will be reissuing Meat We're Made Of. Taste the New Wave of French Heavy Metal...again!

DVP 342 FIRMAMENT – For Centuries Alive LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Germany's FIRMAMENT, For Centuries Alive, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2021, FIRMAMENT have drawn inspiration from everything the night sky has to offer in terms of rock music, fusing myriad influences from various eras – from proto-metal to NWOBHM. As first boldly displayed by the debut album We Don't Rise, We Just Fall – released in 2023 by DYING VICTIMS to critical acclaim – the Germans' authentically homemade sound feels familiar yet ventures into uncharted territory: a journey through time, bridging past and future. FIRMAMENT distill the signature trademarks of these musical aeons into a sound that lingers not just in the ear but, most importantly, deep within the heart.
And since that fruitful formation, FIRMAMENT's classic lineup of drums, bass, twin guitars, and vocals has been bringing their epic, dark, yet romantic heavy-rock sound to the stage. Among many others, the band have played at such festivals as Muskelrock, Starlett Stock, and Trveheim, establishing themselves as a captivating live act – and, in the process, earning highly positive feedback from the press, the scene, and their fans alike.
FIRMAMENT's foundation was poignantly established by the aforementioned debut album and then successive split with the reanimated MIDNIGHT PREY, Gathered Under Open Skies, but the sky is indeed the limit. Witness the band's dramatic second album, For Centuries Alive. With full dedication to their new work, FIRMAMENT explore new sonic and lyrical realms, all in celebration of "Her Majesty" – music, in all her glory. And while their time-worn influences remain in place – namely, the untouchable trio of Wishbone Ash, Blue Öyster Cult, and Thin Lizzy – where they then go with these influences "of known and unknown territories" puts their heavy rock in its own rarefied category altogether. Hearts even more proudly on sleeves, the Germans unfurl eight propulsive narratives (plus mood-setting intro) with a joie de vivre that's engaging, endearing, and exciting to the extreme. Thoughtful and romantic lyrics are thrust to the fore across timeless, storytelling music, all wrapped in a warm and impulsive production, resulting in a record that feels bigger and brighter than its not-considerable predecessor. If FIRMAMENT again sound "old" here, it's not so much because a concerted effort was made to be "retro" or similar; rather, it's an understated underlining of endearing values within rock music – of form and content in harmonious, symbiotic balance. Not for nothing, then, is this new album named For Centuries Alive: FIRMAMENT are sonic sages from time memorial, arriving with "new" ageless wisdom!

DVP 343 Naevus – Back Home LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present NAEVUS' highly anticipated third album, Back Home, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany's NAEVUS was originally formed in 1991 as a death metal trio. Various lineup changes and musical alterations led to the first demo Quixotic Dreams in 1993. The second demo, A Sad Illusion, arrived a year later bearing a doomier sound and clean vocals. In 1995 the Autumn Sun demo was recorded and released, with the lineup still existing today: Uwe Groebel (vocals / lead guitar), Oliver Grosshans (guitar), Sven Heimerdinger (bass), and Mathias Straub (drums). The demo – influenced by Trouble, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, and Black Sabbath – received very good international reviews and finally led to the first recording contract in 1997 with Lee Dorrian's Rise Above Records. The recordings were made at Vielklang Studio in Berlin where The Obsessed's debut and Saint Vitus' V were recorded. Bearing the title Sun Meditation, NAEVUS' debut album was released in March 1998.
Thereafter, NAEVUS' musical style continued to develop. This was followed by the 14 Inches of Fury four-way split with Revelation, Twisted Tower Dire, and Grief of God as well as the song "R.I.P" on the Trouble tribute album. After family and professional changes, the band went their separate ways in 1999, while at the same time, Mathias Straub and Oliver Grosshans founded the epic power metal band Sacred Steel. From then on, Uwe Groebel dedicated himself to the doom trio Voodooshock with further song ideas, before the band got back together in 2012 and the first rehearsals for the reunion show with Saint Vitus began. Originally, they only wanted to play the old songs again, but the joy of playing meant that new songs were not long in coming. In 2016, the second long-player, Heavy Burden, was released and garnered with internationally positive reviews.
In 2023, recordings began for a third album. At last here, Back Home is its title, and quite aptly. NAEVUS are nothing if not consistent, and within the opening minute – hell, even seconds – you are right Back Home with their warm, emotive doom. And yet, while NAEVUS' traditional-yet-signature sound remains stronger than ever, the means of arriving at that have changed some. Nowadays, the band acts more flexibly and arranges the entire songs together, which was previously almost exclusively reserved for Uwe Groebel. Groebel's vocals are as melodically hypnotic as ever, too, with the very personal lyrics imparting loss and grief but also with love and hope – a quality surely highlighted by the man's warm pipes. Cementing this sensation of warmth and comfort – effectively, being Back Home – the cover art was once again created by Roland Scriver.
DYING VICTIMS is honored to bring NAEVUS Back Home, and the album's release show will take place with old tape-trading friend Patrick Walker of 40 Watt Sun and Warning at Schwarzer Keiler, Stuttgart on October 2nd.

DVP 344 Sadistic Goatmessiah – Violence LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with Fucking Kill Records, is proud to present SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH's highly anticipated debut album, Violence, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH originally formed in 2013 but were mostly inactive until 2017. Back then, the band was a duo of vocalist / guitarist / bassist Morbid Goatpriest of Lust, Filth and Mayhem and drummer Goat Primator. As suggested by those nom de plumes and, of course, their very moniker itself, SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH revel in sonic filth, as exemplified by their first couple demos, where a strong influence of the almighty Nifelheim and Australian blackthrash can be felt – and Japan's legendary Sabbat, above all, which endures to this day. In 2021, bassist Goatess of Fire arrived, making the band a power-trio and driving that filth in a different-yet-parallel direction: speed metal with Hellhammer / Celtic Frost and Darkthrone influences and an unapologetic punk attitude (and still Sabbat!). Thereafter, four splits and a demo followed, fleshing out the SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH sound before the inevitable debut album.
At last here, Violence is that first full-length, and its elegantly simple title says everything it should. Fast and deadly as the scythe of the reaper, SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH here unload an arsenal of dungeonic speed metal steeped in the ancient and FUCK OFF, loose and lawless and deliberately raw as hot blood. Those aforementioned influences still remain, but the foremost one is of Sabbat, where eerie leads ride a galloping steed of filth, all reverbed to Hell and back, never feeling "retro" because the future never happened. For all the familiarity, the ten tracks comprising Violence work their malevolent magick due to SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH's off-the-rails execution: never faked, always full-on, fucking going for the throat and never letting up. As such, the album's 40 minutes fly by in a flash, compelling repeat listeners just as you try to escape that very dungeon...the air above stinks, so might as well plummet back down to the filth! You want Violence? SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH will give you fucking VIOLENCE!

DVP 345 Palantyr – The Ascent & The Hunger LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with Jawbreaker Records, is proud to present PALANTYR's The Ascent & The Hunger on vinyl LP format. The CD edition was released on Jawbreaker in April 2025.
Hailing from Thionville, France, Palantyr – formerly known as Destrukt until August 2024 – returns with a vengeance, combining three tracks from their previous EP, The Ascent, with three brand-new, scorching anthems of relentless, melody-infused steel.
Athena's commanding voice leads the charge, calling speedfreaks to battle with a dynamic fusion of speed and heavy metal, sharpened with an epic edge. Unlike many bands that look solely to the past, Palantyr dares to push forward, blending the ferocity of Mystik, the epic grandeur of Smoulder, and the raw heavy metal aggression of Blood Star, Tower, and Iron Griffin. The result? A perfect storm of speed, melody, and firepower.
But that's not all – one of the new tracks is a ripping cover of Paul Roland's Nosferatu, reimagined and reforged into a high-octane speed metal banger, proving Palantyr's ability to reshape a song into something uniquely their own. Meanwhile, the remaining new tracks showcase the band's most intense, yet melodically rich material to date, with riffs that drive adrenaline levels through the roof and choruses that demand fists in the air.
This release is a double-edged sword – ferocity and melody, velocity and power. For fans of Mystik, Acid, Smoulder, Blood Star, Iron Griffin, and Tower – this one's for you!

DVP 346 REVENGE – Night Danger LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated tenth album of Colombia's REVENGE, Night Danger, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2002, Colombia's REVENGE have been keeping it true – and consistently – for a very long time now. While their home country continues to have a true metal renaissance, REVENGE have been there from the very beginning, pioneering the resurgence of classic metal sounds over the course of their sizable discography and steady touring across South America and even the United States. In fact, in 2018, REVENGE became the only South American band invited to the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise festival.
Like clockwork, every couple years do REVENGE return to the full-length front, and they now present a worldwide edition of Night Danger. The Colombians' tenth(!) album to date, Night Danger rips and races with class and craft – the kind that REVENGE have been forging in steel for time eternal. On the whole, Night Danger is a speed metal record, but one imbued with a prominent sense of classic heavy metal. Put another way, think of how bands like Judas Priest, Riot, and Manowar – and then Running Wild, Helloween, and Razor right after – took traditional metal and juiced it up just enough to make it truly METAL and sometimes speed metal, and there in that rarefied territory will you find REVENGE. Of course, if you want galloping, adrenaline-pumping TRUE speed metal, Night Danger is about as paradigmatic as it comes: completely classic and also contemporary. This is the ultimate REVENGE!

DVP 347 Armoured Knight – The Quest for the Sacred Melody LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ARMOURED KNIGHT's highly anticipated debut album, The Quest for the Sacred Melody, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2009, Chile's AMOURED KNIGHT are a speed metal band who draw inspiration from such legendary / cult '80s bands as Helloween, Savage Grace, Not Fragile, Viper, and Pokolgép. After several attempts to solidify their lineup, they released their debut EP, Prophecy of Tomorrow, in 2013, standing out with their epic, fast, and melodic style. The band's membership includes such bands as HELLISH, HEMISFERIO, Mortal Whisper, Slicer, Deathsvn, Espada, and ex-Mayhemic.
Over the years, ARMOURED KNIGHT have undergone various lineup changes but have always maintained their essence and passion for classic metal. After a hiatus in 2014, they reunited in 2017 with a new formation and released the EP Ashes of Glory and then the EP The Sacred Flame in 2020. Now, with that lineup – Cristian (guitar), Mario Vera (drums), Cristhoper Falk (bass), and José Tapia (vocals) – they are finally gearing up to release their debut album.
Titled The Quest for the Sacred Melody, ARMOURED KNIGHT's first full-length promises to establish them as one of the freshest and most powerful forces in contemporary classic metal. Totaling eight songs in 35 minutes, this new work marks an evolution in their sound, preserving their essence while embracing a more mature, faster, and more energetic approach. Indeed, when ARMOURED KNIGHT get going, they really get going – truly, this is SPEED METAL of a most mid-'80s vintage – but even when cruising at such unsafe speeds, there's a bright & dynamic melodicism at the core of their sound, with bountiful, equally bright & dynamic leads stacked healthily atop; the latter can be attributed to a more pronounced power metal influence, namely early Blind Guardian. As such, The Quest of the Sacred Melody is truly titled; the songwriting runs the gamut of heroic to melancholic, but everything's streamlined for maximum power, all whilst sounding like the same band. What's more, the gleaming and yet just-rough-enough production truly nails that vintage vibe, especially setting the night on fire when ARMOURED KNIGHT decelerate to a mid-tempo, such as on the moody & marching "Endless Light." The time is NOW to begin The Quest for the Sacred Melody!

DVP 348 DET – Destructive Elite Terror LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DET's highly anticipated debut album, Destructive Elite Terror, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Helsinki, Finland's DET are a speed / death metal band formed in 2022. A power-trio from the very beginning, DET feature members who do or have done time in such bands as Excuse, Asphodelus, Ranger, and Cryogenic among others. Right away, they released the demo Death Night, which was followed a year later by the Vengeance demo and a split with fellow countrymen Kruisfoitu. Meanwhile, they played live in several countries such as Armenia, Georgia, Germany and the UK and received praising reviews for their performances.
If there was ever any mystery about the acronym to their moniker, DET now deliver their debut album, spelling it out in no uncertain terms: Destructive Elite Terror. Truly titled, Destructive Elite Terror rushes forward with a fury that cannot be contained. While DET will never win any faster-than-thou contests, their use of speed of a measured one, going from hypnotic cruise to Bathorian bang to even an early Sarcofago surge – and every step of the way, energy is maintained and maximized. As such, Destructive Elite Terror offers a refreshing amount of variety in its deceptively breathless 36-minute runtime, and the trio's riffing similarly exudes a keen sense of space and moody melody to ensure it's not just straight-ahead bulldoze all the time. Simple but never simplistic, this is authentically old school without pandering to tired tropes.
Somewhere between the crudest early speed metal, contemporaneous proto-black metal, and the very earliest death metal lies Destructive Elite Terror: DET are coming for you!

DVP 352 Fate's Hand – Steel, Fire & Ice LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present FATE'S HAND's highly anticipated debut album, Steel, Fire and Ice, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
It was but 2021 when FATE'S HAND quietly emerged with their self-titled debut EP. Downplaying their membership, the Australians nevertheless possessed a wealth of veteran experience, with members hailing from such heavyweights as StarGazer and Mongrels Cross among others. As FATE'S HAND, they deftly drew from the primordial well of Northern lore and attacked in a savage foray of traditionalist heavy metal. In a word, Fate's Hand was both old and new, surprising and unsurpassed.
Now flexing those same muscles across a full-length, FATE'S HAND at last arrive with their debut album, almost-too-perfectly titled Steel, Fire and Ice. With swords drawn and teeth bared, on Steel, Fire and Ice do FATE'S HAND sing an ode to victories on the physical and metaphysical battlefield. Whereas the Aussies' debut EP totaled four songs, their debut album doubles that; as such, it more boldly and brazenly displays the full fathom of their powers and prowess. And like that EP, on Steel, Fire and Ice does visceral melody grasp tightly on the spear of classic heavy metal, hearkening to the genre's progenitors and – in the same breath – taunting, daring the very same gods. Bloodied but unbowed, FATE'S HAND's songwriting goes to more epic lengths whilst remaining urgent and impassioned, stoicism and bravado colliding headlong for a timeless sturm and drang that engages ever more as the album plays on to its penultimate conclusion. High drama as heavy metal, still surprising and unsurpassed!
FATE'S HAND keep the torch lit for fans of Judas Priest, King Diamond, Destruction, and Bathory. Turn the lights down and play it loud – glory to the brave with Steel, Fire and Ice!

DVP 353 Speedclaw – Stardust LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SPEEDCLAW's highly anticipated debut album, Stardust, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
SPEEDCLAW are a Croatian metal band that have been delivering raw heavy metal since 2015. First came the aptly titled Iron Speed EP in 2016, and the Beast in the Mist EP followed the next year. Between the two short-lengths, SPEEDCLAW wielded exuberant-yet-reverent steel of early '80s vintage, an era when the NWOBHM was in full steam and speed metal was in its nascent days. The uptick in professionalism and POWER from one EP to the next certainly heightened expectations for what the Croatians could do on a full-length.
At last here, Stardust is that full-length, and SPEEDCLAW show everything – and MORE – they're capable of. Taking all the electricity and excitement of those two EPs and amplifying 'em with a certain starpower, Stardust is indeed aptly titled. That aforementioned uptick in power & professionalism play out to its fullest extent across this eight-song / 33-minute stick of dynamite, all whilst retaining SPEEDCLAW's early edge. Stardust is actually a semi-conceptual album: four of the eight tracks are thematically connected, forming a narrative, while the remaining songs stand independently. The conceptual "Night Side" features four songs that tell a story inspired by the band's life on the road and everything that comes with it.
Keeping their original sound but just ramping it up – truly, you can imagine the band slaying huge stages to this – on Stardust do SPEEDCLAW dependably deliver melodic, bursting-at-the-seams riffs and an authentically old-school flair, still heavily rooted in classic heavy metal traditions but with a raw edge that reflects their own identity. Just clear enough, never overdriven by crunch, and with an ancient earthiness, Stardust was recorded at the GIS studio in Croatia by none other than Let 3's Matej Zec, a well-established Croatian musician. Mixing and mastering were done by Enforcer's Olof Wikstrand, who also makes an appearance on one of the songs on the album. Get showered in Stardust and prepare to be ensnared by SPEEDCLAW

DVP 342 FIRMAMENT – For Centuries Alive LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Germany's FIRMAMENT, For Centuries Alive, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2021, FIRMAMENT have drawn inspiration from everything the night sky has to offer in terms of rock music, fusing myriad influences from various eras – from proto-metal to NWOBHM. As first boldly displayed by the debut album We Don't Rise, We Just Fall – released in 2023 by DYING VICTIMS to critical acclaim – the Germans' authentically homemade sound feels familiar yet ventures into uncharted territory: a journey through time, bridging past and future. FIRMAMENT distill the signature trademarks of these musical aeons into a sound that lingers not just in the ear but, most importantly, deep within the heart.
And since that fruitful formation, FIRMAMENT's classic lineup of drums, bass, twin guitars, and vocals has been bringing their epic, dark, yet romantic heavy-rock sound to the stage. Among many others, the band have played at such festivals as Muskelrock, Starlett Stock, and Trveheim, establishing themselves as a captivating live act – and, in the process, earning highly positive feedback from the press, the scene, and their fans alike.
FIRMAMENT's foundation was poignantly established by the aforementioned debut album and then successive split with the reanimated MIDNIGHT PREY, Gathered Under Open Skies, but the sky is indeed the limit. Witness the band's dramatic second album, For Centuries Alive. With full dedication to their new work, FIRMAMENT explore new sonic and lyrical realms, all in celebration of "Her Majesty" – music, in all her glory. And while their time-worn influences remain in place – namely, the untouchable trio of Wishbone Ash, Blue Öyster Cult, and Thin Lizzy – where they then go with these influences "of known and unknown territories" puts their heavy rock in its own rarefied category altogether. Hearts even more proudly on sleeves, the Germans unfurl eight propulsive narratives (plus mood-setting intro) with a joie de vivre that's engaging, endearing, and exciting to the extreme. Thoughtful and romantic lyrics are thrust to the fore across timeless, storytelling music, all wrapped in a warm and impulsive production, resulting in a record that feels bigger and brighter than its not-considerable predecessor. If FIRMAMENT again sound "old" here, it's not so much because a concerted effort was made to be "retro" or similar; rather, it's an understated underlining of endearing values within rock music – of form and content in harmonious, symbiotic balance. Not for nothing, then, is this new album named For Centuries Alive: FIRMAMENT are sonic sages from time memorial, arriving with "new" ageless wisdom!

DVP 343 Naevus – Back Home LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present NAEVUS' highly anticipated third album, Back Home, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany's NAEVUS was originally formed in 1991 as a death metal trio. Various lineup changes and musical alterations led to the first demo Quixotic Dreams in 1993. The second demo, A Sad Illusion, arrived a year later bearing a doomier sound and clean vocals. In 1995 the Autumn Sun demo was recorded and released, with the lineup still existing today: Uwe Groebel (vocals / lead guitar), Oliver Grosshans (guitar), Sven Heimerdinger (bass), and Mathias Straub (drums). The demo – influenced by Trouble, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, and Black Sabbath – received very good international reviews and finally led to the first recording contract in 1997 with Lee Dorrian's Rise Above Records. The recordings were made at Vielklang Studio in Berlin where The Obsessed's debut and Saint Vitus' V were recorded. Bearing the title Sun Meditation, NAEVUS' debut album was released in March 1998.
Thereafter, NAEVUS' musical style continued to develop. This was followed by the 14 Inches of Fury four-way split with Revelation, Twisted Tower Dire, and Grief of God as well as the song "R.I.P" on the Trouble tribute album. After family and professional changes, the band went their separate ways in 1999, while at the same time, Mathias Straub and Oliver Grosshans founded the epic power metal band Sacred Steel. From then on, Uwe Groebel dedicated himself to the doom trio Voodooshock with further song ideas, before the band got back together in 2012 and the first rehearsals for the reunion show with Saint Vitus began. Originally, they only wanted to play the old songs again, but the joy of playing meant that new songs were not long in coming. In 2016, the second long-player, Heavy Burden, was released and garnered with internationally positive reviews.
In 2023, recordings began for a third album. At last here, Back Home is its title, and quite aptly. NAEVUS are nothing if not consistent, and within the opening minute – hell, even seconds – you are right Back Home with their warm, emotive doom. And yet, while NAEVUS' traditional-yet-signature sound remains stronger than ever, the means of arriving at that have changed some. Nowadays, the band acts more flexibly and arranges the entire songs together, which was previously almost exclusively reserved for Uwe Groebel. Groebel's vocals are as melodically hypnotic as ever, too, with the very personal lyrics imparting loss and grief but also with love and hope – a quality surely highlighted by the man's warm pipes. Cementing this sensation of warmth and comfort – effectively, being Back Home – the cover art was once again created by Roland Scriver.
DYING VICTIMS is honored to bring NAEVUS Back Home, and the album's release show will take place with old tape-trading friend Patrick Walker of 40 Watt Sun and Warning at Schwarzer Keiler, Stuttgart on October 2nd.

DVP 344 Sadistic Goatmessiah – Violence LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with Fucking Kill Records, is proud to present SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH's highly anticipated debut album, Violence, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH originally formed in 2013 but were mostly inactive until 2017. Back then, the band was a duo of vocalist / guitarist / bassist Morbid Goatpriest of Lust, Filth and Mayhem and drummer Goat Primator. As suggested by those nom de plumes and, of course, their very moniker itself, SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH revel in sonic filth, as exemplified by their first couple demos, where a strong influence of the almighty Nifelheim and Australian blackthrash can be felt – and Japan's legendary Sabbat, above all, which endures to this day. In 2021, bassist Goatess of Fire arrived, making the band a power-trio and driving that filth in a different-yet-parallel direction: speed metal with Hellhammer / Celtic Frost and Darkthrone influences and an unapologetic punk attitude (and still Sabbat!). Thereafter, four splits and a demo followed, fleshing out the SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH sound before the inevitable debut album.
At last here, Violence is that first full-length, and its elegantly simple title says everything it should. Fast and deadly as the scythe of the reaper, SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH here unload an arsenal of dungeonic speed metal steeped in the ancient and FUCK OFF, loose and lawless and deliberately raw as hot blood. Those aforementioned influences still remain, but the foremost one is of Sabbat, where eerie leads ride a galloping steed of filth, all reverbed to Hell and back, never feeling "retro" because the future never happened. For all the familiarity, the ten tracks comprising Violence work their malevolent magick due to SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH's off-the-rails execution: never faked, always full-on, fucking going for the throat and never letting up. As such, the album's 40 minutes fly by in a flash, compelling repeat listeners just as you try to escape that very dungeon...the air above stinks, so might as well plummet back down to the filth! You want Violence? SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH will give you fucking VIOLENCE!

DVP 345 Palantyr – The Ascent & The Hunger LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS, in conspiracy with Jawbreaker Records, is proud to present PALANTYR's The Ascent & The Hunger on vinyl LP format. The CD edition was released on Jawbreaker in April 2025.
Hailing from Thionville, France, Palantyr – formerly known as Destrukt until August 2024 – returns with a vengeance, combining three tracks from their previous EP, The Ascent, with three brand-new, scorching anthems of relentless, melody-infused steel.
Athena's commanding voice leads the charge, calling speedfreaks to battle with a dynamic fusion of speed and heavy metal, sharpened with an epic edge. Unlike many bands that look solely to the past, Palantyr dares to push forward, blending the ferocity of Mystik, the epic grandeur of Smoulder, and the raw heavy metal aggression of Blood Star, Tower, and Iron Griffin. The result? A perfect storm of speed, melody, and firepower.
But that's not all – one of the new tracks is a ripping cover of Paul Roland's Nosferatu, reimagined and reforged into a high-octane speed metal banger, proving Palantyr's ability to reshape a song into something uniquely their own. Meanwhile, the remaining new tracks showcase the band's most intense, yet melodically rich material to date, with riffs that drive adrenaline levels through the roof and choruses that demand fists in the air.
This release is a double-edged sword – ferocity and melody, velocity and power. For fans of Mystik, Acid, Smoulder, Blood Star, Iron Griffin, and Tower – this one's for you!

DVP-R 11 Sacrifice – Tears LP/CD
DVP-R 06 Sacrifice – Total Steel CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present a reissue of the cult third album of Japan's SACRIFICE, Tears, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
After 2021's vinyl edition of Total Steel, a CD edition will be released as well.
From their humble beginnings in 1985 on to their super-cult debut album, 1987's Crest of Black, Japan's SACRIFICE have stood for uncompromising, world-eating, thrashy METAL. Let's reiterate: thrashy heavy metal rather than pure thrash metal. Thick and viscous is their thrust, with straightforward songwriting and exceptionally mean delivery. Arguably, they'd perfect that signature style with 1990's Total Steel, which RELICS FROM THE CRYPT would reissue on vinyl in 2021, but there's something uniquely powerful about its follow-up, Tears.
Released in 1992 and again featuring the band's signature steel-encased demon mascot, SACRIFICE's Tears was even more of anomaly than its not-inconsiderable predecessor. Compared to 1990, in 1992 was crossover largely dead on both sides of the Atlantic.
Nevertheless, SACRIFICE continued to fight the good fight and formed & finessed the idiom to their own idiosyncratic design. Such is intrinsic to their native musical culture, much in the way that Japanese punk takes bog-standard tropes and upends them in unique ways. So, while Total Steel took then-contemporaneous Cro-Mags, Venom, Razor, Carnivore, the UK's Sacrilege, Nasty Savage, The Exploited, and even early Celtic Frost and spat it out as something that sounded like all those simultaneously and nothing like 'em at all, Tears, by comparison, more often slowed down the still-hammering pulse and added a bit more space and daresay emotion – not for nothing is the album titled Tears, right? – and returned with something even more varied, more dynamic, and especially more world-eating. One need only peruse the album's titles – "Hardest Life," "Time Slips Through In Front of Your Eyes," "Broken Heroes," and the utterly classic opener "Never Land Never Again" among them – as well as the lyric sheet to find support for that "emotional" statement. As such, Tears could quite possibly eclipse Total Steel as SACRIFICE's ultimate statement...but cruelly enough, the album currently stands as their recorded epitaph, for they broke up after its release and have yet to release anything following their 2020 reunion.
Even after all these years, Tears stands as a massive achievement during a strange era for metal, and possibly sounds even more refreshing today. Metalheads, punks, and metalpunks are hereby commanded to bow down again before SACRIFICE!

DVP-R 12 Not Fragile – Who Dares Wins MLP
DVP-R 13 Not Fragile – One Way to Glory LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to present reissues of NOT FRAGILE's cult Who Dares Wins mini-album on 12" vinyl format and the band's One Way to Glory album on CD and vinyl LP formats.
One of the best hard-luck stories in the rich history of German heavy metal, NOT FRAGILE were originally active from 1980 to 1990. During that decade, the band released a couple demos, an EP, and an almost-album-length mini-album – and the requisite compilation appearances, which was mandatory during the '80s – and had even recorded a proper debut album, only for that first full-length to be posthumously released in various territories with confusing titles. They would eventually re-form in the mid '90s and remain active for nearly two decades, but the demand for the original NOT FRAGILE era has only grown as the years passed.
Feeling duty call, RELICS FROM THE CRYPT arrive with long-overdue reissues of NOT FRAGILE's Who Dares Wins mini-album and their intended debut album, One Way to Glory, both remastered: the former adjusted for vinyl by Journey Into Eternity Studios, and the latter a whole new remaster by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony.
Originally released in 1988 after being passed around by a couple labels, Who Dares Wins was a rough 'n' raucous slice of German speed / power metal emblematic of that era. With surprising heaviness if not thrashiness, the band's 27-minute mini-album bore contemporaneous influence from the likes of Running Wild and Helloween nearby and Helstar and Liege Lord overseas. Nevertheless, NOT FRAGILE had the songwriting – and energy – to put them over, with the record's production sounding particularly professional despite its meager budget. The following year, the band would record their ill-fated debut album, One Way to Glory. As presaged by its title, the lyrics shifted slightly toward more fantastical realms – the band did have an amazingly DIY castle backdrop for the mini's "With All My Might" video, after all – and the thrashiness dialed back, but energy remained abundant here. The band's execution actually got even sharper as the riffing became a bit brighter and more melodic, and the cleaner production brought a triumphant gleam to NOT FRAGILE whilst sacrificing no heaviness. Taken as a snapshot of the times, One Way to Glory simultaneously sounded out of date and ahead of the times, as power metal was about to have a resurgence across Europe during the mid '90s. However, their version of power metal surely bore the medieval stamp of the '80s, and was all the better for it. Sad, then, that their debut album would only see posthumous release in 1992 and 1993 as Hard to Be Alive and Lost in a Dream, respectively, alongside a mishmash of other '80s tracks.

DVP 346 REVENGE – Night Danger LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated tenth album of Colombia's REVENGE, Night Danger, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2002, Colombia's REVENGE have been keeping it true – and consistently – for a very long time now. While their home country continues to have a true metal renaissance, REVENGE have been there from the very beginning, pioneering the resurgence of classic metal sounds over the course of their sizable discography and steady touring across South America and even the United States. In fact, in 2018, REVENGE became the only South American band invited to the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise festival.
Like clockwork, every couple years do REVENGE return to the full-length front, and they now present a worldwide edition of Night Danger. The Colombians' tenth(!) album to date, Night Danger rips and races with class and craft – the kind that REVENGE have been forging in steel for time eternal. On the whole, Night Danger is a speed metal record, but one imbued with a prominent sense of classic heavy metal. Put another way, think of how bands like Judas Priest, Riot, and Manowar – and then Running Wild, Helloween, and Razor right after – took traditional metal and juiced it up just enough to make it truly METAL and sometimes speed metal, and there in that rarefied territory will you find REVENGE. Of course, if you want galloping, adrenaline-pumping TRUE speed metal, Night Danger is about as paradigmatic as it comes: completely classic and also contemporary. This is the ultimate REVENGE!
– Regular edition on black vinyl, with insert, poster, sticker, post card and download code.
– Special edition on oxblood vinyl, with insert, poster, sticker, post card, download code and patch.
– CD edition with sticker and obi.

DVP 347 Armoured Knight – The Quest for the Sacred Melody LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ARMOURED KNIGHT's highly anticipated debut album, The Quest for the Sacred Melody, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2009, Chile's AMOURED KNIGHT are a speed metal band who draw inspiration from such legendary / cult '80s bands as Helloween, Savage Grace, Not Fragile, Viper, and Pokolgép. After several attempts to solidify their lineup, they released their debut EP, Prophecy of Tomorrow, in 2013, standing out with their epic, fast, and melodic style. The band's membership includes such bands as HELLISH, HEMISFERIO, Mortal Whisper, Slicer, Deathsvn, Espada, and ex-Mayhemic.
Over the years, ARMOURED KNIGHT have undergone various lineup changes but have always maintained their essence and passion for classic metal. After a hiatus in 2014, they reunited in 2017 with a new formation and released the EP Ashes of Glory and then the EP The Sacred Flame in 2020. Now, with that lineup – Cristian (guitar), Mario Vera (drums), Cristhoper Falk (bass), and José Tapia (vocals) – they are finally gearing up to release their debut album.
Titled The Quest for the Sacred Melody, ARMOURED KNIGHT's first full-length promises to establish them as one of the freshest and most powerful forces in contemporary classic metal. Totaling eight songs in 35 minutes, this new work marks an evolution in their sound, preserving their essence while embracing a more mature, faster, and more energetic approach. Indeed, when ARMOURED KNIGHT get going, they really get going – truly, this is SPEED METAL of a most mid-'80s vintage – but even when cruising at such unsafe speeds, there's a bright & dynamic melodicism at the core of their sound, with bountiful, equally bright & dynamic leads stacked healthily atop; the latter can be attributed to a more pronounced power metal influence, namely early Blind Guardian. As such, The Quest of the Sacred Melody is truly titled; the songwriting runs the gamut of heroic to melancholic, but everything's streamlined for maximum power, all whilst sounding like the same band. What's more, the gleaming and yet just-rough-enough production truly nails that vintage vibe, especially setting the night on fire when ARMOURED KNIGHT decelerate to a mid-tempo, such as on the moody & marching "Endless Light." The time is NOW to begin The Quest for the Sacred Melody!

DVP 348 DET – Destructive Elite Terror LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DET's highly anticipated debut album, Destructive Elite Terror, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Helsinki, Finland's DET are a speed / death metal band formed in 2022. A power-trio from the very beginning, DET feature members who do or have done time in such bands as Excuse, Asphodelus, Ranger, and Cryogenic among others. Right away, they released the demo Death Night, which was followed a year later by the Vengeance demo and a split with fellow countrymen Kruisfoitu. Meanwhile, they played live in several countries such as Armenia, Georgia, Germany and the UK and received praising reviews for their performances.
If there was ever any mystery about the acronym to their moniker, DET now deliver their debut album, spelling it out in no uncertain terms: Destructive Elite Terror. Truly titled, Destructive Elite Terror rushes forward with a fury that cannot be contained. While DET will never win any faster-than-thou contests, their use of speed of a measured one, going from hypnotic cruise to Bathorian bang to even an early Sarcofago surge – and every step of the way, energy is maintained and maximized. As such, Destructive Elite Terror offers a refreshing amount of variety in its deceptively breathless 36-minute runtime, and the trio's riffing similarly exudes a keen sense of space and moody melody to ensure it's not just straight-ahead bulldoze all the time. Simple but never simplistic, this is authentically old school without pandering to tired tropes.
Somewhere between the crudest early speed metal, contemporaneous proto-black metal, and the very earliest death metal lies Destructive Elite Terror: DET are coming for you!

DVP 358 Barbarian – Reek of God LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated sixth album of Italy's BARBARIAN, Reek of God, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Truer than true, Italy's BARBARIAN have almost become a subgenre unto themselves during the past 16 years. Although, let there be no confusion: BARBARIAN are HEAVY METAL. A power-trio of not just metal maniacs but actual MUSIC maniacs, of all persuasions, BARBARIAN integrate all kinds of crude-yet-refined DNA into their particular palette, almost effortlessly resulting in something that's dieharder than anything around and yet elevating heavy metal to an artform worthy of the fanciest museum. Or, quite the opposite: denim and leather, spikes and chains, swords and sorcery, ugly men and beautiful women, each dawn they die... Either way, to experience BARBARIAN is to imbibe the essence of heavy metal, infused with personality and panache, killing with power and charisma. Posers don't need to leave the hall because they wouldn't be able read the map to it in the first place.
Now, following a trio of hailed albums for Hells Headbangers – Cult of the Empty Grave (2016), To No God Shall I Kneel (2019), and Viperface (2022) – BARBARIAN join forces with longtime fans DYING VICTIMS for the Italians' sixth full-length, Reek of God. Like clockwork, it's another three years between albums, and BARBARIAN deliver the goods. And yet, this is also a new chapter in their series: "retrogarde metal," chronologically after "total metal," "absolute metal," "obtuse metal," and "regressive metal." As such (and in possession of exactly 98 riffs in 35 minutes), the ten central songs comprising Reek of God are shorter and more to-the-point but basically with no classic rock structure of verse / chorus. BARBARIAN's characteristic sound – in the simplest of terms, raw speed and epic metal meets even rawer proto-extreme metal – has here been enriched with a vein close to mid '80s death metal and even metal-tinged punk, but with a flow of tempo-changes and riffs to be found only in late '80s / early '90s developments of extreme metal. BARBARIAN are nothing if not studious acolytes; they know their shit, and then make records about it.
Still, Reek of God has its own surprises. Of course, the album's lyrics strike at everything that is religious. But special mention must be made for "Shit He Forgives," which is based on the lyrics of "Reality Asylum" by anarcho-punk pioneers Crass, and "Crossburn," which is a political statement that places the band on the opposite side of the spectrum regarding the KKK connection the title might suggest. Deepening the record-nerd'dom, the album's "Warning" intro is a take on the Ice-T intro of the same name on the legendary rapper's Home Invasion album from 1993. Likewise, BARBARIAN's cover here of the Los Angeles L7's "Freak Magnet" is one featuring their typical Hellhammer-ish atonal riffs – which were atypical for L7, drawing an otherwise-overlooked throughline of aesthetic symbiosis – and inspired by the 1992 version produced by Butch Vig (on the Everglade EP) rather than the 1994 version produced by Gggaarth (on Hungry for Stink). Wait...Crass, L7, and Ice-T on a BARBARIAN album?! Believe it, comrade: this is the Reek of God!

DVP 359 Karloff – Revered by Death LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KARLOFF's highly anticipated second album, Revered by Death, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Germany, KARLOFF formed in 2018 initially as a means for erstwhile Graveyard Ghoul member Tom Horrified to blow off some punk-oriented steam with a couple close comrades. While their first Demo '18 and then subsequent Raw Nights mini-album presented them as a more gutter-level Midnight, it was 2022's debut album, The Appearing, where the true form of KARLOFF took shape. Recasting the band in a totally new, altogether more unique light, The Appearing strutted forth to a rich, robust, and rippingly muscular sound not unlike ancient-days metalpunk; think Carnivore, Best Wishes-era Cro-Mags, or even early Nasty Savage, and you're in KARLOFF's wheelhouse.
Turning that wheel yet further, KARLOFF return with their second full-length, Revered by Death. For sure, Revered by Death follows logically from The Appearing. That same lead-heavy stomp is present and accounted for here, but the paces KARLOFF go through are undeniably moodier and murkier; if there wasn't a sense of stifled violence here, it would almost be accurate to call LP#2 "sludgy." No amount of energy is sacrificed, thankfully, as KARLOFF's olde-worlde evil goes in an even-darker direction while the tempos, in kind, feel slightly more reined in. Fleshing out that darkness further are chorus FX, once again tastefully applied and suggesting still a post-punk influence that could blossom in the future; just witness the deathrock-in-glue instrumental "On Weathered Altar" for poignant proof. As the present stands, Revered by Death more than lives up to its lofty title, with KARLOFF's heaviness coming not so much from the volume or distortion they employ but, rather, from the overall feel of their songwriting: punchier, but portending a deeper doom & gloom.
Ghouls and ghosts, thugs and thieves: KARLOFF are back and calling upon you to be Revered by Death!

DVP-R 14 Bad Lizard – Power of Destruction LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to reissue BAD LIZARD's cult debut album, Power of Destruction, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
One of those great "one and done" curios in the classic metal canon, Belgium's BAD LIZARD began life in 1980 with a more hard rock-oriented sound on their first single (originally released in 1982) before shifting gears up to proto-power-leaning heavy metal a year later on their next 12" EP. However, it was their 1985 debut album, Power of Destruction, where BAD LIZARD laid down an etched-in-time underground classic and then promptly disappeared as their lineup fell apart and promising tours had to be cancelled. A heavy metal dream lost at the time, but its memory is now being resurrected for a new generation of true metallers hungry for the cultest '80s European sounds.
Released by a young Roadrunner Records, BAD LIZARD's Power of Destruction bore some pretty recognizable similarities to much-bigger bands – the dual-guitar interplay of Judas Priest, the harmonic gallop of Iron Maiden, the cool, dark cruise of Accept – but the way they assimilated these influences spoke volumes about the vitality of the metal underground at the time. Totaling 10 songs in 41 minutes, the album was bursting at the seams with SONGS: each one distinct from the other and imparting a particular mood or texture or tempo, and each one absolutely memorable and passionately played. For a record that wasn't quite in metal's "big leagues" at the time, the production is incredible – heavy, atmospheric, and each instrument and especially vocals sizzling with presence and vitality – and that variety of songcraft and the subsequent pacing of the tracklisting made Power of Destruction an album you want to experience beginning to end. Beyond that, BAD LIZARD's chops here were expertly utilized in service of the song, with the band's overall execution giving the album a power metal feel despite the taxonomy actually reading "juiced-up traditional metal" more often than not.
As so often happens with a young band, BAD LIZARD began splitting at the seams as touring became too stressful and a suitable replacement for vocalist Eddy Termote could not be found. Even so, the band opened up for the likes of King Diamond, Manowar, Helloween, Destruction, and Agent Steel among others, and the album's subsequent release netted many positive reviews worldwide, altogether ensuring that BAD LIZARD's legacy wasn't a total wash. And now, again on vinyl and for the first time officially on CD, this reissue of Power of Destruction will continue that legacy, receiving a robust remaster courtesy of Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony: "Far Away From Home" no longer!

DVP 352 Fate's Hand – Steel, Fire & Ice LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present FATE'S HAND's highly anticipated debut album, Steel, Fire and Ice, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
It was but 2021 when FATE'S HAND quietly emerged with their self-titled debut EP. Downplaying their membership, the Australians nevertheless possessed a wealth of veteran experience, with members hailing from such heavyweights as StarGazer and Mongrels Cross among others. As FATE'S HAND, they deftly drew from the primordial well of Northern lore and attacked in a savage foray of traditionalist heavy metal. In a word, Fate's Hand was both old and new, surprising and unsurpassed.
Now flexing those same muscles across a full-length, FATE'S HAND at last arrive with their debut album, almost-too-perfectly titled Steel, Fire and Ice. With swords drawn and teeth bared, on Steel, Fire and Ice do FATE'S HAND sing an ode to victories on the physical and metaphysical battlefield. Whereas the Aussies' debut EP totaled four songs, their debut album doubles that; as such, it more boldly and brazenly displays the full fathom of their powers and prowess. And like that EP, on Steel, Fire and Ice does visceral melody grasp tightly on the spear of classic heavy metal, hearkening to the genre's progenitors and – in the same breath – taunting, daring the very same gods. Bloodied but unbowed, FATE'S HAND's songwriting goes to more epic lengths whilst remaining urgent and impassioned, stoicism and bravado colliding headlong for a timeless sturm and drang that engages ever more as the album plays on to its penultimate conclusion. High drama as heavy metal, still surprising and unsurpassed!
FATE'S HAND keep the torch lit for fans of Judas Priest, King Diamond, Destruction, and Bathory. Turn the lights down and play it loud – glory to the brave with Steel, Fire and Ice!

DVP 353 Speedclaw – Stardust LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SPEEDCLAW's highly anticipated debut album, Stardust, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
SPEEDCLAW are a Croatian metal band that have been delivering raw heavy metal since 2015. First came the aptly titled Iron Speed EP in 2016, and the Beast in the Mist EP followed the next year. Between the two short-lengths, SPEEDCLAW wielded exuberant-yet-reverent steel of early '80s vintage, an era when the NWOBHM was in full steam and speed metal was in its nascent days. The uptick in professionalism and POWER from one EP to the next certainly heightened expectations for what the Croatians could do on a full-length.
At last here, Stardust is that full-length, and SPEEDCLAW show everything – and MORE – they're capable of. Taking all the electricity and excitement of those two EPs and amplifying 'em with a certain starpower, Stardust is indeed aptly titled. That aforementioned uptick in power & professionalism play out to its fullest extent across this eight-song / 33-minute stick of dynamite, all whilst retaining SPEEDCLAW's early edge. Stardust is actually a semi-conceptual album: four of the eight tracks are thematically connected, forming a narrative, while the remaining songs stand independently. The conceptual "Night Side" features four songs that tell a story inspired by the band's life on the road and everything that comes with it.
Keeping their original sound but just ramping it up – truly, you can imagine the band slaying huge stages to this – on Stardust do SPEEDCLAW dependably deliver melodic, bursting-at-the-seams riffs and an authentically old-school flair, still heavily rooted in classic heavy metal traditions but with a raw edge that reflects their own identity. Just clear enough, never overdriven by crunch, and with an ancient earthiness, Stardust was recorded at the GIS studio in Croatia by none other than Let 3's Matej Zec, a well-established Croatian musician. Mixing and mastering were done by Enforcer's Olof Wikstrand, who also makes an appearance on one of the songs on the album. Get showered in Stardust and prepare to be ensnared by SPEEDCLAW

DVP 363 HARROWED – The Eternal Hunger LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HARROWED's highly anticipated debut album, The Eternal Hunger, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
HARROWED are a maggot-ridden death metal band from the Stockholm sewers. Rising from the hallowed ashes of Swedish death metal outliers Morbus Chron, the band comes as the creation of vocalist / drummer Adam Lindmark, who has teamed up with guitarist Tobias Alpadie (VAK, ghost department of Tribulation). A demo and subsequent split arrived in 2021 and '22, respectively, setting forth HARROWED's harrowing foundation: classic Autopsy, Entombed, Obituary, and Death Strike "funneled through a garbage disposal," accurately stated Adolf Vondkra of Tones of Decay festival.
The time has now come for HARROWED to make their full-length debut with The Eternal Hunger. Sharper but not without their signature stench, The Eternal Hunger sees the duo offering a more nuanced listening experience – but don't think for a second they've gone soft! Surely, HARROWED have gestated into a twisted mass of putrid filth, incorporating elements of old-school American and Scandinavian death metal, a lethal dose of punk riffage, and mind-bending weirdness (and even some shattered shards of skewed melody, if we're counting). The songwriting on The Eternal Hunger thusly exhibits more variety both in the micro and macro, with each of these eight tracks possessing the potential to rupture ear drums, crack skulls, and have you plunge head-first while maniacally screaming into the darkened abyss of crushing riffs, doomsday drumming, and nightmarish horrors.... The production on the album is stellar, as HARROWED teamed up with Robert Pehrsson (Death Breath, ex-Runemagick) in his Studio Humbucker during the summer of 2025 and created an authentically physical sound that's clear and concise whilst keeping a vintage raw edge. As such, The Eternal Hunger stays true to the original spirit of death metal without being yet another washed-out-copy of the HM2-sound. The album also features musical guest appearances from Nicke Andersson (Entombed, Death Breath) and Scott Carlson (Repulsion, Death Breath), among others, so you can bet this stuff is the real deal.
With the addition of a live lineup consisting of fellow creeps Dag Landin (ex-Morbus Chron, Tøronto) on bass and Estefan Carrillo (Hazemaze, Morbid Breath) on guitar, the HARROWED lineup is fully armed and diseased — ready to drag their decomposing death metal across stages and into your nightmares. Are you ready to submit to The Eternal Hunger?

DVP 364 BURNING PATH – s/t LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BURNING PATH's highly debut album, Burning Path, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Born from tragedy, BURNING PATH is the continuation of Chile's beloved heavy metal heroes LUCIFER'S HAMMER. In late December 2024, founding member Andre Adasme, AKA Hades, was murdered by a stranger. His brother Rodrigo, AKA Titan, had a difficult task ahead of him. But eventually, Titan decided to keep Andre's legacy alive along with longtime guitarist Hypnos, and BURNING PATH was (re)born. Titan decided to retire the LUCIFER'S HAMMER moniker "because there is no other who can replace my brother's leading role and character, who will forever be the signature of LUCIFER'S HAMMER music."
However, those whose hearts keep it true will be thrilled to hear the direction of BURNING PATH – "the same traditional heavy metal essence that has been our call for the last 13 years playing with LUCIFER'S HAMMER," Titan humbly states. Witness the band's "debut" full-length, Burning Path. With absolutely accurate artwork gloriously adoring its cover, BURNING PATH's self-titled debut picks right up where 2024's Be and Exist left off: like an iron fist lined with velvet, a deceptively silky surge that drives deepest into the heart of mid '80s metal. With Titan taking up the vocal duties as well as drums and guitar – and Hypnos, in kind, handling guitar, bass, and keyboards – the duo create a pistons-pumping juggernaut of melodic-yet-moody METAL, conveying electricity and energy no matter the tempo. In fact, much of Burning Path hovers near a strutting mid-tempo, and is all the better for it: BURNING PATH are equally powerful when illustrating heroism or heartache. As such, Be and Exist's trace elements of prime Dokken, Heavy Pettin', Diamond Head, Europe, Witch Cross, Virgin Steele, and even '80s KISS at their most metal are resurgent here, once again rearranged and reformed into anthems entirely their own.
Hades may be much missed, but he'd be honored by the BURNING PATH his former bandmates are on!

DVP 365 CHALICE – The Devine Spear LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Finland's CHALICE, Divine Spear, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2016, the Helsinki-based CHALICE have quickly become a beacon of esoteric heavy metal. Featuring current or former members of such bands as Ranger, Satan's Fall, and Vincent Revenge, CHALICE released an opening demo and then subsequent EP in 2017 and '19, respectively, before their decisive debut album, Trembling Crown, in 2020. Reaping widespread acclaim, CHALICE's first full-length weaved high drama and dynamic metal into a tapestry of wonder and weightiness.
Now, CHALICE return with a record that eclipses that feat: Divine Spear. Presciently titled, Divine Spear is a carefully crafted, razor-sharp package that nevertheless reveals a bounty of sonic and psychic treasures. Forged in the freezing winds of the Finnish winter, here do CHALICE further refine their deceptively elegant sound, combining the pure spirit of classic European metal in a unique blend with cinematic progressive influences and the dark aura of their northernmost melancholy. Sometimes slow-burning in its doling out of details but duly benefiting patient listeners, Divine Spear paints a picturesque landscape of both light and dark, offering deliverance to those seeking beyond the boundaries of the so-called "new wave of traditional metal" movement. Of especial note are the poignant shifts into cleaner, quieter territory, truly heightening the drama that so earmarked their debut album; CHALICE are nothing if not master craftsmen in this regard, utilizing their prodigious chops in the service of literally awe-inspiring songwriting and beckoning listeners to lose themselves in their narrative flow.
Completed by wholly suiting production – clean and crisp, and yet somehow warm and natural – Divine Spear dives into deeper depths than what meets the eye...raise this CHALICE!

DVP 366 VENTHIAX – Rites of Ra MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VENTHIAX's highly anticipated debut mini-album, Rites of Ra, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Hailing from Sweden, VENTHIAX are a speed / thrash metal band that was formed in March 2021 with the goal of becoming the loudest and most ruthless metal band in the region of Huskvarna / Jönköping. The band consists of bass-player Wendy Juneström, who also creates and distributes the old-school thrash metal fanzine Black Pages since 2019; guitarist Viggo Heinonen, who also played in the black metal band Pyrrha; and drummer Emil Borg, who is recognized as the roaring percussionist, embracing the true old-school spirit when whipping the toms. Thus armed, VENTHIAX let free a flurry of releases, including a first demo, EP, and not one, but two live albums.
Keeping that iron burning hot, VENTHIAX strike with their meanest and most assured recording yet: the mini-album Rites of Ra. While those prior short-lengths indeed laid their noble foundation – old Slayer, Sodom, Nifelheim, Celtic Frost, Death, Agent Steel, Törr, and Blessed Death – on Rites of Ra is where VENTHIAX blaze beyond the gates with maximum efficiency...and maximum overdrive! Said influences might mostly reside in the '80s, and there's certainly no disputing the power-trio's authenticity, but VENTHIAX exude the sort of charisma and songwriting acumen that elevates Rites of Ra above another retro-retread exercise. Dungeonic in its atmosphere but fighting tooth & nail to emerge from those dungeons with righteous plunder aplenty, this six-song / 21-minute record rips forth with a memorability that commands repeat plays – and repeat possession. Not for nothing is one of the mini's most emblematic songs titled "Speed Metal Mayhem"!

DVP 367 ZERRE – Rotting on a Golden Throne LP/CD
DVP 368 ZERRE – Scorched Souls CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ZERRE's highly anticipated second album, Rotting on a Golden Throne, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
From the cellars of Würzburg, Germany, ZERRE have been keeping the torch of old-school thrash metal burning while carving their own vicious path. Their sound draws on the razor-sharp aggression of classic Metallica and Exodus and the stomping groove of early Faith No More: no frills, no mercy. Their third full-length, 2024's Scorched Souls, tore through the scene and earned critical acclaim for its searing riffs and unflinching energy.
Now, ZERRE take a decisive step forward with Rotting on a Golden Throne. Darker, more overtly political, and more aggressive than its predecessor, this fourth full-length dives headfirst into the rot of power, corruption, and human decay – a brutal soundtrack for a world teetering on the edge. Onstage, ZERRE embody the chaos of their music: riff-driven assaults, breakneck tempos, and a raw intensity that leaves no room to breathe. On record, while those influences still remain, but the DNA has been splintered into something more unique and definitely more powerful: thrashing, yes, but within a crossover framework that feels titanic. The production is razor-sharp, but with ominous atmosphere to spare; the execution is even sharper, as the drumming especially pulses like a dread locomotive; and vocals spit forth venom, raging against a machine fatted by suffering.
As the throne collapses, ZERRE deliver the anthem of its fall. Keep on Rotting on a Golden Throne!

DVP 369 AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR – Come Creeping Fiends LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR's highly anticipated second album, Come Creeping Fiends, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Released in 2019 via DYING VICTIMS, AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR's Havoc at the Midnight Hour debut album introduced this British power-trio with no small amount of sleazy, Satanic fanfare. While their background may jointly lie in black metal, the three un-gentlemen of AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR held high heavy metal done the ancient way: classic Tank, early Raven, Warfare, and of course the almighty Venom as well as modern torchbearers like Midnight, Whipstriker, and Power From Hell. Unsurprisingly, the album garnered international acclaim.
Eclipsing that feat is the band's second album, Come Creeping Fiends. Truly titled once again, Come Creeping Fiends comprises nine tracks of heavy metal for the insane, forged in the Manchester morgue. Raging like a ravenous beast, summoning ancient ones, and agonizing with morbid doom, AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR cover a lot of ground here, but like the rotting undead that inspired it, this second album somehow holds together. The same black magic that made Havoc at the Midnight Hour a highlight six(-six-six) years ago is here again, only this time with a higher kill count and hit rate. Cleaner and crisper in execution but somehow darker and dirtier in its content, Come Creeping Fiends offers highlights at every crooked turn; tunes like "Strange Companion," "Fiend in You," and lead track "Dead Undead" will have all the witches dancing. Needless to say, fans of maniacal, EVIL heavy metal music and horror movies will find a lot to love.
The wait for AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR's second album might have been long, but Come Creeping Fiends will prove to be worth it...find the "Fiend in You"!

DVP 370 MIDRYASI'S KULT- Italian Dark Sound LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MIDYRASI'S KULT's highly anticipated debut album, Italian Dark Sound, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
MIDRYASI'S KULT are revolutionary and uncompromised. Featuring veterans from such Italian doom stalwarts as Doomsword, Midryasi, Agarthi, and Fiurach, their unique blend of elements from the NWOBHM, doom metal, and early black metal – all fused in their distinctive national dark-sound tradition, which includes such cult legends as Black Hole and Death SS – results in an obscure, hypnotic, and exciting formula.
In March 2025, after just one week on Bandcamp, MIDYRASI'S KULT were intercepted by Caligari Records, who released on cassette their debut demo, Mountain Devil. Featuring three songs in a concise 15 minutes, this demo reaped international acclaim for its originality and attitude.
But that was but a foretaste of darker delights to come. Witness the first full-length of MIDRYASI'S KULT, Italian Dark Sound. Truly titled, Italian Dark Sound is an intoxicating spelunk into catacombs both idiosyncratic and indefinable. Totaling 32 time-/mind-expanding minutes, the eight primary tracks here – the outro is titled "The Lost Son of Sylvester Anfang," which should offer an obvious clue to the black-metal-minded out there – each offer something different from the next, and yet all add up into a shadowy experience that's both rocking and atmospheric. In fact, if one were to single out an aspect between the demo and album, it's that MIDYRASI'S KULT exude more energy on this full-length without sacrificing any of their occult aura. But, just like that demo, Italian Dark Sound features supremely pro production – gritty, earthy, and yet kaleidoscopic in texture – under the guidance of Gabry "The Way" Strada, head of RDF Studio and who's now collaborating on the upcoming Doomsword new album. In the vein of an open artistic project, all the artwork is made by vocalist / bassist Geilt himself, and up to 11 musicians have been involved in these recordings.
Love Pentagram, Danzig, Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate, Bathory, AND Jacula? Then you absolutely must hear MIDYRASI'S KULT's Italian Dark Sound ASAP!

DVP 371 WITCHING HOUR – Rise of the Desecrated LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the much-needed reissue of WITCHING HOUR'S debut album, Rise of the Desecrated, on vinyl LP format. This marks the beginning of vinyl reissues of all of the band's albums, under license from Evil Spell Records.
Originally released in 2009, as well as on tape through Dying Victims in 2011, this album has not lost any of its juvenile enthusiasm for raw and evil thrash metal. While the band developed a more complex style of blackened heavy thrash throughout the years, this debut album is pure and straightforward black thrashing madness. Clocking in at just over half an hour, the album perfectly represents the Teutonic (black) thrash revival of the mid-2000s.

DVP 372 Morbius – Malicious Rites MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to release MORBIUS' first demo 'Malicious Rites' on music cassette format.
Formed in mid-2024 and hailing from Indonesia, MORBIUS is totally devoted to raw and evil mid to late 80s thrash metal, a time when the borders to early black and death metal were vague. The band is classic power trio whose lyrical themes revolve around evil, death and horror. This is the primitive and uncompromising sound for maniacs worshipping 80s Kreator, Sepultura, Possessed, Necrovore, Poison (GER) and Mantas. You get the gist...

DVP 358 Barbarian – Reek of God LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated sixth album of Italy's BARBARIAN, Reek of God, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Truer than true, Italy's BARBARIAN have almost become a subgenre unto themselves during the past 16 years. Although, let there be no confusion: BARBARIAN are HEAVY METAL. A power-trio of not just metal maniacs but actual MUSIC maniacs, of all persuasions, BARBARIAN integrate all kinds of crude-yet-refined DNA into their particular palette, almost effortlessly resulting in something that's dieharder than anything around and yet elevating heavy metal to an artform worthy of the fanciest museum. Or, quite the opposite: denim and leather, spikes and chains, swords and sorcery, ugly men and beautiful women, each dawn they die... Either way, to experience BARBARIAN is to imbibe the essence of heavy metal, infused with personality and panache, killing with power and charisma. Posers don't need to leave the hall because they wouldn't be able read the map to it in the first place.
Now, following a trio of hailed albums for Hells Headbangers – Cult of the Empty Grave (2016), To No God Shall I Kneel (2019), and Viperface (2022) – BARBARIAN join forces with longtime fans DYING VICTIMS for the Italians' sixth full-length, Reek of God. Like clockwork, it's another three years between albums, and BARBARIAN deliver the goods. And yet, this is also a new chapter in their series: "retrogarde metal," chronologically after "total metal," "absolute metal," "obtuse metal," and "regressive metal." As such (and in possession of exactly 98 riffs in 35 minutes), the ten central songs comprising Reek of God are shorter and more to-the-point but basically with no classic rock structure of verse / chorus. BARBARIAN's characteristic sound – in the simplest of terms, raw speed and epic metal meets even rawer proto-extreme metal – has here been enriched with a vein close to mid '80s death metal and even metal-tinged punk, but with a flow of tempo-changes and riffs to be found only in late '80s / early '90s developments of extreme metal. BARBARIAN are nothing if not studious acolytes; they know their shit, and then make records about it.
Still, Reek of God has its own surprises. Of course, the album's lyrics strike at everything that is religious. But special mention must be made for "Shit He Forgives," which is based on the lyrics of "Reality Asylum" by anarcho-punk pioneers Crass, and "Crossburn," which is a political statement that places the band on the opposite side of the spectrum regarding the KKK connection the title might suggest. Deepening the record-nerd'dom, the album's "Warning" intro is a take on the Ice-T intro of the same name on the legendary rapper's Home Invasion album from 1993. Likewise, BARBARIAN's cover here of the Los Angeles L7's "Freak Magnet" is one featuring their typical Hellhammer-ish atonal riffs – which were atypical for L7, drawing an otherwise-overlooked throughline of aesthetic symbiosis – and inspired by the 1992 version produced by Butch Vig (on the Everglade EP) rather than the 1994 version produced by Gggaarth (on Hungry for Stink). Wait...Crass, L7, and Ice-T on a BARBARIAN album?! Believe it, comrade: this is the Reek of God!

DVP 359 Karloff – Revered by Death LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present KARLOFF's highly anticipated second album, Revered by Death, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Germany, KARLOFF formed in 2018 initially as a means for erstwhile Graveyard Ghoul member Tom Horrified to blow off some punk-oriented steam with a couple close comrades. While their first Demo '18 and then subsequent Raw Nights mini-album presented them as a more gutter-level Midnight, it was 2022's debut album, The Appearing, where the true form of KARLOFF took shape. Recasting the band in a totally new, altogether more unique light, The Appearing strutted forth to a rich, robust, and rippingly muscular sound not unlike ancient-days metalpunk; think Carnivore, Best Wishes-era Cro-Mags, or even early Nasty Savage, and you're in KARLOFF's wheelhouse.
Turning that wheel yet further, KARLOFF return with their second full-length, Revered by Death. For sure, Revered by Death follows logically from The Appearing. That same lead-heavy stomp is present and accounted for here, but the paces KARLOFF go through are undeniably moodier and murkier; if there wasn't a sense of stifled violence here, it would almost be accurate to call LP#2 "sludgy." No amount of energy is sacrificed, thankfully, as KARLOFF's olde-worlde evil goes in an even-darker direction while the tempos, in kind, feel slightly more reined in. Fleshing out that darkness further are chorus FX, once again tastefully applied and suggesting still a post-punk influence that could blossom in the future; just witness the deathrock-in-glue instrumental "On Weathered Altar" for poignant proof. As the present stands, Revered by Death more than lives up to its lofty title, with KARLOFF's heaviness coming not so much from the volume or distortion they employ but, rather, from the overall feel of their songwriting: punchier, but portending a deeper doom & gloom.
Ghouls and ghosts, thugs and thieves: KARLOFF are back and calling upon you to be Revered by Death!

DVP-R 14 Bad Lizard – Power of Destruction LP/CD
RELICS FROM THE CRYPT, the sub-label of DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS dedicated to keeping the past alive, is proud to reissue BAD LIZARD's cult debut album, Power of Destruction, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
One of those great "one and done" curios in the classic metal canon, Belgium's BAD LIZARD began life in 1980 with a more hard rock-oriented sound on their first single (originally released in 1982) before shifting gears up to proto-power-leaning heavy metal a year later on their next 12" EP. However, it was their 1985 debut album, Power of Destruction, where BAD LIZARD laid down an etched-in-time underground classic and then promptly disappeared as their lineup fell apart and promising tours had to be cancelled. A heavy metal dream lost at the time, but its memory is now being resurrected for a new generation of true metallers hungry for the cultest '80s European sounds.
Released by a young Roadrunner Records, BAD LIZARD's Power of Destruction bore some pretty recognizable similarities to much-bigger bands – the dual-guitar interplay of Judas Priest, the harmonic gallop of Iron Maiden, the cool, dark cruise of Accept – but the way they assimilated these influences spoke volumes about the vitality of the metal underground at the time. Totaling 10 songs in 41 minutes, the album was bursting at the seams with SONGS: each one distinct from the other and imparting a particular mood or texture or tempo, and each one absolutely memorable and passionately played. For a record that wasn't quite in metal's "big leagues" at the time, the production is incredible – heavy, atmospheric, and each instrument and especially vocals sizzling with presence and vitality – and that variety of songcraft and the subsequent pacing of the tracklisting made Power of Destruction an album you want to experience beginning to end. Beyond that, BAD LIZARD's chops here were expertly utilized in service of the song, with the band's overall execution giving the album a power metal feel despite the taxonomy actually reading "juiced-up traditional metal" more often than not.
As so often happens with a young band, BAD LIZARD began splitting at the seams as touring became too stressful and a suitable replacement for vocalist Eddy Termote could not be found. Even so, the band opened up for the likes of King Diamond, Manowar, Helloween, Destruction, and Agent Steel among others, and the album's subsequent release netted many positive reviews worldwide, altogether ensuring that BAD LIZARD's legacy wasn't a total wash. And now, again on vinyl and for the first time officially on CD, this reissue of Power of Destruction will continue that legacy, receiving a robust remaster courtesy of Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony: "Far Away From Home" no longer!

DVP 373 TOXIKULL – Turbulence LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TOXIKULL's highly anticipated fourth album, Turbulence, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2016, Portugal's TOXIKULL have established themselves as one of the most unrelenting forces in the European heavy metal scene. Known for a high-energy blend of traditional heavy metal and speed metal, the band is rooted in the classic '80s spirit but delivers it with an aggressive, contemporary edge.
After building a strong reputation through explosive live shows and uncompromising attitude, TOXIKULL solidified their status with the release of 2019's Cursed and Punished and 2024's critically acclaimed Under the Southern Light. Their momentum continued to build with the 2025 release of the live album Echoes of the Arena, a testament to their live power that crashed into the Portuguese Top 100 music charts.
Now arrives TOXIKULL's hotly anticipated fourth full-length, Turbulence, the band's highly anticipated third full-length album. Turbulence represents a maturity in the quartet's songwriting, blending the raw aggression of speed metal with the melodic grandeur of classic heavy metal. An album forged in fire and resistance, exploring themes of inner struggle and the unconquerable spirit of the metal warrior, the 10-song / 39-minute record bursts at the seams with electricity and excitement, continuing the arena-ready swagger of its predecessor proudly. From the high-octane opener "Midnight Fire" to the bountiful anthemic choruses, Turbulence proves that TOXIKULL arenot just paying homage to the past; they are forging the future of traditional steel – bigger, bolder, and better than before. With a production that cuts like a blade (courtesy of Jamie Gomez Arellano, who's worked with Ghost, Mayhem, Opeth, Behemoth, Angel Witch, Moonspell, and many others) and a performance tighter than ever, this album is a call to arms for maniacs worldwide.
For those who somehow slept on Under the Southern Light, TOXIKULL carry the noble torch of Judas Priest, WASP, Accept, and Manowar but with a distinctly southern European flair. "We raise our chalices to the all the Toxikheads, the believers, the dreamers, and those who keep the eternal flame of heavy metal burning," state the band, "this record is dedicated to you. It is your passion that fuels our engine and makes this journey possible. Turbulence stands as a testament to our journey, proof that every scar can be turned into art, and every struggle into power – to the lessons learned and to the people who were the catalyst for the themes of this record."

DVP 374 LYNX – Trinity of Suns LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Germany's LYNX, Trinity of Suns, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hailing from Gießen, Germany's LYNX formed in 2020 and promptly released their first single, Grey Man, on 7" vinyl that same year. The following year, the band released their debut album, Watcher of Skies, on the well-regarded No Remorse Records. The record received due acclaim for its modern recasting of '70s hard rock in the orbit of Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, and Blue Öyster Cult.
Of especial note was the addition of Amy Zine in 2022 as vocalist and synth player, expanding LYNX to a quintet. In 2025, original vocalist & guitarist Marvin Kiefer left the band, and one Janni (Eyemaster, ex-Speedbreaker) joined as vocalist & guitarist. In November of that year, the band entered Fat & Holy Studio to record their second full-length.
Recorded live, Trinity of Suns is the "now" sound of LYNX – and one that's still authentically, powerfully old. That addition of Zine has proven fruitful, for she takes on the majority of the vocals across the album, giving the record a tender-yet-tough touch that deepens the quintet's already estimable dynamics. To that, LYNX focused on expanding their strengths – longer tracks, more varied songwriting, and nuanced arrangements – rendering Trinity of Suns a kaleidoscopic song cycle steeped in the '70s. For sure, they can still rock as hard as anyone, but with increasingly deft pacing – both in when to pull back (and push forward) as well more-emphatic folk embellishments – the moody emotion that's been simmering in the LYNX sound all along truly takes flight. The shift from Marvin to Amy, coupled with the decision to record live, gives Trinity of Suns a remarkably fresh touch.
LYNX draw from a deep well – the golden era of rock and metal to early proto-metal acts, progressive rock legends such as Genesis and Pink Floyd to early blues- and folk-infused hard rock – and what they bring up is veritable gold. Bask in the glow of Trinity of Suns!

DVP 375 WHIRLWIND – 1640 LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present WHIRLWIND's highly anticipated second album, 1640, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
WHIRLWIND was originally conceived as a studio-project by Mark Wild, from Körgull The Exterminator among other extreme metal bands, to satisfy his will to make a classic heavy metal album, a style that changed his life during his childhood – influenced mostly by '80s German metal bands like early Running Wild, early Helloween, Accept, Heaven's Gate, Gravestone, Tyrant, Grave Digger, Steeler, and Stormwitch among others, but also all kinds of classic heavy metal like Mercyful Fate, Manowar, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest.
In 2022, WHIRLWIND released their debut album, 1714, marking the band's beginning. WHIRLWIND also established a live lineup to bring their songs to life onstage, with musicians from other known bands, like Redshark, joining as permanent members of the band. The album immediately generated a big buzz in the underground scene and led them to perform at some of the best-known festivals in Spain like Pounding Metal Fest and Skulls of Metal, alongside such bands as Visigoth, Attic, Omen, Tentation, Mindless Sinner, Witchtower, IRON CURTAIN, and Phantom Spell.
Now arrives WHIRLWIND's second album, 1640. Like its predecessor, the album is focused on historical and epic episodes of their homeland; specifically, this album revolves around the Thirty Years War that took place around Europe and the inner conflicts within Spain. Musically, WHIRLWIND deliver a masterclass in cruising, classy Teutonic metal, running from more traditional-minded mid-tempo stompers to surging, up-tempo gallops of glory. Riff and lead form a lethal tandem, balancing both energy and color, while the rhythm section stays locked in no matter the dynamic. The production, too, of 1640 honors the mid '80s with authenticity – underground in spirit, Big League in execution. All told, the album is true heavy metal for true heavy metal people: no more, but definitely no less. By the blood in their veins, WHIRLWIND are marching to victory, ready to explode!

DVP 376 DEMON SPELL – Blessed be the Dark LP/CD
DVP 302 DEMON SPELL – Evil Nights MLP repress
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DEMON SPELL's highly anticipated debut album, Blessed Be the Dark, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
After the cursed EP Evil Nights in 2024, the coven of DEMON SPELL returns, unleashing a vision of dark, occult heavy metal born from dust, bone, and shadow. Appropriately titled Blessed Be the Dark, the Italians' debut album is a descent into ritual fire and ancient doom, where the echoes of the grave sing once more. This is music for disciples of the timeless art of darkness.
With Blessed Be the Dark, DEMON SPELL deepen their devotion to a shadowed form of heavy metal rooted in the classic tradition yet veiled in occult and arcane tones, all performance with a provocative theatrical presence. Wholly untouched by modernity, their sound draws from the primordial essence of early heavy metal; one can imagine the cutoff year at 1985, or perhaps earlier. The record presents a more mature and refined vision of the band's sound as first displayed on the quick-hitting Evil Nights, here exploring darker, more occult atmospheres while also offering raw, energetic passages that bring moments of levity and drive.
Listening to DEMON SPELL in full-length form feels like entering an endless Sabbath, where past and present dissolve and the flame never dies. Blessed Be the Dark stands as a testament to heavy metal as ceremony—timeless, solemn, and possessed by the Spirit of the Night.

DVP 363 HARROWED – The Eternal Hunger LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HARROWED's highly anticipated debut album, The Eternal Hunger, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
HARROWED are a maggot-ridden death metal band from the Stockholm sewers. Rising from the hallowed ashes of Swedish death metal outliers Morbus Chron, the band comes as the creation of vocalist / drummer Adam Lindmark, who has teamed up with guitarist Tobias Alpadie (VAK, ghost department of Tribulation). A demo and subsequent split arrived in 2021 and '22, respectively, setting forth HARROWED's harrowing foundation: classic Autopsy, Entombed, Obituary, and Death Strike "funneled through a garbage disposal," accurately stated Adolf Vondkra of Tones of Decay festival.
The time has now come for HARROWED to make their full-length debut with The Eternal Hunger. Sharper but not without their signature stench, The Eternal Hunger sees the duo offering a more nuanced listening experience – but don't think for a second they've gone soft! Surely, HARROWED have gestated into a twisted mass of putrid filth, incorporating elements of old-school American and Scandinavian death metal, a lethal dose of punk riffage, and mind-bending weirdness (and even some shattered shards of skewed melody, if we're counting). The songwriting on The Eternal Hunger thusly exhibits more variety both in the micro and macro, with each of these eight tracks possessing the potential to rupture ear drums, crack skulls, and have you plunge head-first while maniacally screaming into the darkened abyss of crushing riffs, doomsday drumming, and nightmarish horrors.... The production on the album is stellar, as HARROWED teamed up with Robert Pehrsson (Death Breath, ex-Runemagick) in his Studio Humbucker during the summer of 2025 and created an authentically physical sound that's clear and concise whilst keeping a vintage raw edge. As such, The Eternal Hunger stays true to the original spirit of death metal without being yet another washed-out-copy of the HM2-sound. The album also features musical guest appearances from Nicke Andersson (Entombed, Death Breath) and Scott Carlson (Repulsion, Death Breath), among others, so you can bet this stuff is the real deal.
With the addition of a live lineup consisting of fellow creeps Dag Landin (ex-Morbus Chron, Tøronto) on bass and Estefan Carrillo (Hazemaze, Morbid Breath) on guitar, the HARROWED lineup is fully armed and diseased — ready to drag their decomposing death metal across stages and into your nightmares. Are you ready to submit to The Eternal Hunger?

DVP 364 BURNING PATH – s/t LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BURNING PATH's highly debut album, Burning Path, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Born from tragedy, BURNING PATH is the continuation of Chile's beloved heavy metal heroes LUCIFER'S HAMMER. In late December 2024, founding member Andre Adasme, AKA Hades, was murdered by a stranger. His brother Rodrigo, AKA Titan, had a difficult task ahead of him. But eventually, Titan decided to keep Andre's legacy alive along with longtime guitarist Hypnos, and BURNING PATH was (re)born. Titan decided to retire the LUCIFER'S HAMMER moniker "because there is no other who can replace my brother's leading role and character, who will forever be the signature of LUCIFER'S HAMMER music."
However, those whose hearts keep it true will be thrilled to hear the direction of BURNING PATH – "the same traditional heavy metal essence that has been our call for the last 13 years playing with LUCIFER'S HAMMER," Titan humbly states. Witness the band's "debut" full-length, Burning Path. With absolutely accurate artwork gloriously adoring its cover, BURNING PATH's self-titled debut picks right up where 2024's Be and Exist left off: like an iron fist lined with velvet, a deceptively silky surge that drives deepest into the heart of mid '80s metal. With Titan taking up the vocal duties as well as drums and guitar – and Hypnos, in kind, handling guitar, bass, and keyboards – the duo create a pistons-pumping juggernaut of melodic-yet-moody METAL, conveying electricity and energy no matter the tempo. In fact, much of Burning Path hovers near a strutting mid-tempo, and is all the better for it: BURNING PATH are equally powerful when illustrating heroism or heartache. As such, Be and Exist's trace elements of prime Dokken, Heavy Pettin', Diamond Head, Europe, Witch Cross, Virgin Steele, and even '80s KISS at their most metal are resurgent here, once again rearranged and reformed into anthems entirely their own.
Hades may be much missed, but he'd be honored by the BURNING PATH his former bandmates are on!

DVP 365 CHALICE – Divine Spear LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Finland's CHALICE, Divine Spear, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2016, the Helsinki-based CHALICE have quickly become a beacon of esoteric heavy metal. Featuring current or former members of such bands as Ranger, Satan's Fall, and Vincent Revenge, CHALICE released an opening demo and then subsequent EP in 2017 and '19, respectively, before their decisive debut album, Trembling Crown, in 2020. Reaping widespread acclaim, CHALICE's first full-length weaved high drama and dynamic metal into a tapestry of wonder and weightiness.
Now, CHALICE return with a record that eclipses that feat: Divine Spear. Presciently titled, Divine Spear is a carefully crafted, razor-sharp package that nevertheless reveals a bounty of sonic and psychic treasures. Forged in the freezing winds of the Finnish winter, here do CHALICE further refine their deceptively elegant sound, combining the pure spirit of classic European metal in a unique blend with cinematic progressive influences and the dark aura of their northernmost melancholy. Sometimes slow-burning in its doling out of details but duly benefiting patient listeners, Divine Spear paints a picturesque landscape of both light and dark, offering deliverance to those seeking beyond the boundaries of the so-called "new wave of traditional metal" movement. Of especial note are the poignant shifts into cleaner, quieter territory, truly heightening the drama that so earmarked their debut album; CHALICE are nothing if not master craftsmen in this regard, utilizing their prodigious chops in the service of literally awe-inspiring songwriting and beckoning listeners to lose themselves in their narrative flow.
Completed by wholly suiting production – clean and crisp, and yet somehow warm and natural – Divine Spear dives into deeper depths than what meets the eye...raise this CHALICE!

DVP 366 VENTHIAX – Rites of Ra MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VENTHIAX's highly anticipated debut mini-album, Rites of Ra, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Hailing from Sweden, VENTHIAX are a speed / thrash metal band that was formed in March 2021 with the goal of becoming the loudest and most ruthless metal band in the region of Huskvarna / Jönköping. The band consists of bass-player Wendy Juneström, who also creates and distributes the old-school thrash metal fanzine Black Pages since 2019; guitarist Viggo Heinonen, who also played in the black metal band Pyrrha; and drummer Emil Borg, who is recognized as the roaring percussionist, embracing the true old-school spirit when whipping the toms. Thus armed, VENTHIAX let free a flurry of releases, including a first demo, EP, and not one, but two live albums.
Keeping that iron burning hot, VENTHIAX strike with their meanest and most assured recording yet: the mini-album Rites of Ra. While those prior short-lengths indeed laid their noble foundation – old Slayer, Sodom, Nifelheim, Celtic Frost, Death, Agent Steel, Törr, and Blessed Death – on Rites of Ra is where VENTHIAX blaze beyond the gates with maximum efficiency...and maximum overdrive! Said influences might mostly reside in the '80s, and there's certainly no disputing the power-trio's authenticity, but VENTHIAX exude the sort of charisma and songwriting acumen that elevates Rites of Ra above another retro-retread exercise. Dungeonic in its atmosphere but fighting tooth & nail to emerge from those dungeons with righteous plunder aplenty, this six-song / 21-minute record rips forth with a memorability that commands repeat plays – and repeat possession. Not for nothing is one of the mini's most emblematic songs titled "Speed Metal Mayhem"!

DVP 377 SANDSTORM – Dungeon of Death MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Canada/Sweden's SANDSTORM, Dungeon of Death, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Imagine three black-clad warriors galloping across the battlefield at full speed towards you, with weapons held high and the clash of thunder overhead... but instead of a swift, merciless death, what assaults you is the charming heavy metal of SANDSTORM!
SANDSTORM was formed in 2017 by Swedish brothers Stevie Whiteless and Reptile Anderson, and joined by Canadian drummer PJ "The Butcher" LaGriffe. Inspired by underground Swedish metal, the NWOBHM, shining studs and black leather, SANDSTORM are the perfect embodiment of what real HEAVY METAL is all about.
Ever since the twin releases of Time to Strike (2019) and Desert Warrior (2021), both released to international acclaim by DYING VICTIMS, true metallers have been craving a new SANDSTORM record – and it seems that those prayers are about to be answered with yet another mini-album, Dungeon of Death!
The format is truly suiting to the power-trio, as their punchiness is amplified further, giving an immediacy to their largely patient march & gallop. Compared to its predecessors, Dungeon of Death sees SANDSTORM bringing out the rock 'n' roll roots of ancient heavy metal even more than before. And when paired with the cleaner production style – warm, vintage, and very nearly time-traveled from 1982 – a certain mystical atmosphere arises from that dungeon...and with it, medieval metal might! SANDSTORM bring you back to life – tonight!

DVP 379 Witching Hour – Descending ... Where Time Has Ceased To Exist LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fourth album of Germany's WITCHING HOUR, Descending... Where Time Has Ceased to Exist, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
It's been a long, strange trip for WITCHING HOUR. Formed in 2006 in the southwest of Germany, the band's earliest work tended toward paradigmatic blackthrash, particularly the Teutonic iteration of it. And while releases have been patiently sparse during that time, they've been of uniformly high quality, all leading up to 2018's pivotal third album, ...And Silent Grief Shadows the Passing Moon. Here, WITCHING HOUR staked their claim as some of thrash metal's strongest songwriters with a narrative flow that was almost dream-like and a sound quite elevated from their humble beginnings. A career highpoint, to be sure, but silence then ensued...
So it goes with WITCHING HOUR, patience is rewarded with their long-awaited fourth album, Descending... Where Time Has Ceased to Exist. Much like its towering predecessor, Descending... comprises five epic tracks (plus instrumental intro) and, this time, exceeds the length by two minutes for a total of 44: a journey indeed awaits. In fact, the band recorded, mixed, and mastered the album at Journey into Eternity Studios, which is owned by drummer Sascha Bastian.
Ancient metal mysticism is the atmosphere that cloaks WITCHING HOUR's fourth album like ethereal chainmail. The grit of its predecessor has been slightly shined to a rustic gleam, of sorts, as the songwriting suitably grows more diversified and complex – and, even more uniquely, possessing a paradox of density and spaciousness. As each composition winds and wends on paths that are alternately mysterious, gloomy, and triumphant, the power-trio gallop with a confidence that's compelling to the extreme; the narrative flow is more fluid than ever, drawing the listener deeper into the all-encompassing experience. That their riffing has grown even more (gloomily) melodic and the leads burn brighter than before simply underlines the band's traditional metal foundations, particularly that of the NWOBHM.
To summarize and say that Descending... Where Time Has Ceased to Exist marries prog-rock structures to ancient heavy metal riffing & melody and draped in the atmosphere of pioneering German thrash and earliest black metal only explains half the brilliance of WITCHING HOUR at this juncture – but it'll perhaps encourage you to begin that journey!

DVP 380 Night Spectre – s/t LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present NIGHT SPECTRE's striking debut album, Night Spectre, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
NIGHT SPECTRE was forged in 2024, when a group of stubborn metalheads united with one goal: to unleash pure old-school heavy metal, burning with passion and true devotion. From the very beginning, the band's vision was clear – to compose, rehearse, and record the strongest debut possible before stepping into the world. After relentless dedication and countless hours of hard work, NIGHT SPECTRE's self-titled debut album is finally ready to be revealed.
Comprising eight tracks in 45 minutes, Night Spectre roars across the full spectrum of heavy metal, with straightforward songwriting channeling the essential roots of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and the NWOBHM scene through the U.S. steel of bands like Riot and Jag Panzer to the epic grandeur of Manowar, Bathory, and Manilla Road. At times, NIGHT SPECTRE's attack – be it march, gallop, stomp, or surge – sounds like all those bands at once and then like nothing else entirely; to be sure, there's some strange magick brewing in their cauldron. Which underlines how important that songwriting is, that what you bring to a tradition and then build upon is what actually makes such tradition so vital – and in this sense, NIGHT SPECTRE exude a wisdom far beyond their still-young years as a band. Lyrically, the album delves into themes of occult fantasies, historical heroes dying fighting, horror movies, and defiance of societal norms, all with an overarching atmosphere of classic swords & sorcery.
Completed by powerful production – gleaming and clear but not without blood or grit, highlighting the heroism and bravado so central to their sound – NIGHT SPECTRE's self-titled debut is a bold first statement: delivered with reverence, under the band's vision of raw, rebellious, and untamed HEAVY METAL.

DVP 381 Deathstorm – Cascophonies LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fifth album of Austria's DEATHSTORM, Cascophonies, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
A veritable institution by now, DEATHSTORM have been flying the flag of hate since 2010, releasing albums on such well-regarded labels as I Hate and High Roller as well as delivering The Gallows EP to DYING VICTIMS in 2015and later on, 2020s' For Dread Shall Reign. With but the Swarming demo quietly released in 2022, the question still remains: does the DEATHSTORM still rage? You better fucking believe it!
Witness Cascophonies, DEATHSTORM's long-awaited fifth album. Wasting no time whatsoever, the Austrians kick in and lay waste to all that lay before them. As always, the spectre of classic Kreator looms large over DEATHSTORM still – and why should it not, when you're STILL doing deathtrash this devastating? – but with Cascophonies, the band bring forth a whole host of new ideas as twisted as the album's title suggests. While there's (many) moments that are DEATHSTORM at their fiercest and fastest yet, Cascophonies contorts through myriad corridors, all of them dizzying, but always with a clear trajectory. Hooks and heavy metal leads crop up amongst the hammering riffs, riffs, RIFFS! Tempos speed up and slow down, or slow down and speed up – or, quite often, speed up to hyperspeed! Moshes and marches are also among DEATHSTORM's arsenal here, along with a deadly production that's organically clear yet cutting like the sharpest razor. And at 29 lean 'n' mean minutes, the record makes you beg for more!
Ever wanna hear late '80s Slayer and Dark Angel filtered through a Teutonic thrash lens? DEATHSTORM bring it to you with Cascophonies!

DVP 382 Fable – Long Hath The Night Dwelt MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the striking debut EP of Spain's FABLE, Long Hath the Night Dwelt, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
FABLE started as a solo-project by Jose Soler (Phantom Spell, Chantrice) influenced by '70s and '80s hard rock and heavy metal – a list as varied and idiosyncratic as Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Pagan Altar, Ashbury, and Hällas – along with hints of old US metal. Duly girded, the band bring forth their public debut, Long Hath the Night Dwelt.
An actually-narrated prelude sets the stage for a cautionary tale about class struggle and revolution, FABLE indeed using fables and stories as a medium to tell an expansive story of the woodsfolk dominated under the iron claw of "The Owl." Despite that, the band's debut EP is exceptionally compact at five tracks in 22 minutes, moving with a simmering patience that's heavy on mood and dynamic in its restraint. Never overdriven nor busy, warm and intimate but with a psychic distance that seems impossibly ancient, FABLE very much evoke the perhaps-centuries-old folklore that seems so central to their rustic rock; the wise-sage vocals almost seem an afterthought when the narrative flow of the music starts winding and wending like smoke from a tavern fireplace, so illustrative is its hushed power. However, each element here is equally important, and all work together to form a totality that's unfussy but hewn with class and care.
And this is just the start of this FABLE: discover for yourself how Long Hath the Night Dwelt!

DVP 383 SHEWOLFF – WE'RE ALL GONNA FUKKIN' DIE MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS in conspiracy with DE PANKRAKER RECORDS is proud to present SHEWOLFF's highly anticipated debut mini-album, We're All Gonna Fukking Die, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Hailing from Belgium, SHEWOLFF emerged from the underground as a solo-project of K. Von Shewolff, which eventually formed into the solid three-piece band it is today. They find their origins in raw, punk-driven blackness galore, faithfully returning to the old-school spirit of making music by modest and primitive means. A five-song digital-only demo was released in 2023 – songs which contain absolute fury towards the known and long-overdue established order, existential live-or-die sentiment, and a small tribute paid to the old-school believers who came before them.
Now, SHEWOLFF blend all that together on the debut mini-album We're All Gonna Fukking Die. With six new tracks pushing towards a final and inevitable end, this bleakly titled record is actually invigorating and inspiring: railing against the dying of the light with a paradoxically dark metalpunk sound, familiar in its stomping swagger but exuding cantankerous charisma that's all their own. The aesthetic signposts are planted firmly in the ground – think Hellhammer, pre-Viking Bathory, Darkthrone's record-nerd era, early Midnight, the almighty Venom, or even labelmates like KARLOFF, HELLCRASH, and Germany's LUCIFUGE – but SHEWOLFF manage to stir some diabolical little twists into the bubbling brew, with K. Von Shewolff's vocals in particular imparting a femininity that's fierce, frightening, and fucking going for the throat. In fact, "going for the throat" is the best way to describe We're All Gonna Gie, so embrace it, ye fukks!

Originally released in 2006, the Italian act went all in with their pure and authentic love for the old metal scene of the 80s. The aim was never to reinvent the wheel and bring new influences into classic speed metal. These maniacs represented a new generation which wanted to continue and blast out heavy metal in the old way, with the same spirit. 7 tracks + a cover of Italian legends Fingernails take this debut album just over the half an hour finish line.

DVP 367 ZERRE – Rotting on a Golden Throne LP/CD
DVP 368 ZERRE – Scorched Souls CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present ZERRE's highly anticipated second album, Rotting on a Golden Throne, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
From the cellars of Würzburg, Germany, ZERRE have been keeping the torch of old-school thrash metal burning while carving their own vicious path. Their sound draws on the razor-sharp aggression of classic Metallica and Exodus and the stomping groove of early Faith No More: no frills, no mercy. Their third full-length, 2024's Scorched Souls, tore through the scene and earned critical acclaim for its searing riffs and unflinching energy.
Now, ZERRE take a decisive step forward with Rotting on a Golden Throne. Darker, more overtly political, and more aggressive than its predecessor, this fourth full-length dives headfirst into the rot of power, corruption, and human decay – a brutal soundtrack for a world teetering on the edge. Onstage, ZERRE embody the chaos of their music: riff-driven assaults, breakneck tempos, and a raw intensity that leaves no room to breathe. On record, while those influences still remain, but the DNA has been splintered into something more unique and definitely more powerful: thrashing, yes, but within a crossover framework that feels titanic. The production is razor-sharp, but with ominous atmosphere to spare; the execution is even sharper, as the drumming especially pulses like a dread locomotive; and vocals spit forth venom, raging against a machine fatted by suffering.
As the throne collapses, ZERRE deliver the anthem of its fall. Keep on Rotting on a Golden Throne!

DVP 369 AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR – Come Creeping Fiends LP/CD
DVP 129 AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR - Havoc at the Midnight Hour LP
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR's highly anticipated second album, Come Creeping Fiends, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Released in 2019 via DYING VICTIMS, AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR's Havoc at the Midnight Hour debut album introduced this British power-trio with no small amount of sleazy, Satanic fanfare. While their background may jointly lie in black metal, the three un-gentlemen of AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR held high heavy metal done the ancient way: classic Tank, early Raven, Warfare, and of course the almighty Venom as well as modern torchbearers like Midnight, Whipstriker, and Power From Hell. Unsurprisingly, the album garnered international acclaim.
Eclipsing that feat is the band's second album, Come Creeping Fiends. Truly titled once again, Come Creeping Fiends comprises nine tracks of heavy metal for the insane, forged in the Manchester morgue. Raging like a ravenous beast, summoning ancient ones, and agonizing with morbid doom, AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR cover a lot of ground here, but like the rotting undead that inspired it, this second album somehow holds together. The same black magic that made Havoc at the Midnight Hour a highlight six(-six-six) years ago is here again, only this time with a higher kill count and hit rate. Cleaner and crisper in execution but somehow darker and dirtier in its content, Come Creeping Fiends offers highlights at every crooked turn; tunes like "Strange Companion," "Fiend in You," and lead track "Dead Undead" will have all the witches dancing. Needless to say, fans of maniacal, EVIL heavy metal music and horror movies will find a lot to love.
The wait for AGGRESSIVE PERFECTOR's second album might have been long, but Come Creeping Fiends will prove to be worth it...find the "Fiend in You"!

DVP 370 MIDRYASI'S KULT – Italian Dark Sound LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MIDYRASI'S KULT's highly anticipated debut album, Italian Dark Sound, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
MIDRYASI'S KULT are revolutionary and uncompromised. Featuring veterans from such Italian doom stalwarts as Doomsword, Midryasi, Agarthi, and Fiurach, their unique blend of elements from the NWOBHM, doom metal, and early black metal – all fused in their distinctive national dark-sound tradition, which includes such cult legends as Black Hole and Death SS – results in an obscure, hypnotic, and exciting formula.
In March 2025, after just one week on Bandcamp, MIDYRASI'S KULT were intercepted by Caligari Records, who released on cassette their debut demo, Mountain Devil. Featuring three songs in a concise 15 minutes, this demo reaped international acclaim for its originality and attitude.
But that was but a foretaste of darker delights to come. Witness the first full-length of MIDRYASI'S KULT, Italian Dark Sound. Truly titled, Italian Dark Sound is an intoxicating spelunk into catacombs both idiosyncratic and indefinable. Totaling 32 time-/mind-expanding minutes, the eight primary tracks here – the outro is titled "The Lost Son of Sylvester Anfang," which should offer an obvious clue to the black-metal-minded out there – each offer something different from the next, and yet all add up into a shadowy experience that's both rocking and atmospheric. In fact, if one were to single out an aspect between the demo and album, it's that MIDYRASI'S KULT exude more energy on this full-length without sacrificing any of their occult aura. But, just like that demo, Italian Dark Sound features supremely pro production – gritty, earthy, and yet kaleidoscopic in texture – under the guidance of Gabry "The Way" Strada, head of RDF Studio and who's now collaborating on the upcoming Doomsword new album. In the vein of an open artistic project, all the artwork is made by vocalist / bassist Geilt himself, and up to 11 musicians have been involved in these recordings.
Love Pentagram, Danzig, Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate, Bathory, AND Jacula? Then you absolutely must hear MIDYRASI'S KULT's Italian Dark Sound ASAP!

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the much-needed reissue of WITCHING HOUR'S debut album, Rise of the Desecrated, on vinyl LP format. This marks the beginning of vinyl reissues of all of the band's albums, under license from Evil Spell Records.
Originally released in 2009, as well as on tape through Dying Victims in 2011, this album has not lost any of its juvenile enthusiasm for raw and evil thrash metal. While the band developed a more complex style of blackened heavy thrash throughout the years, this debut album is pure and straightforward black thrashing madness. Clocking in at just over half an hour, the album perfectly represents the Teutonic (black) thrash revival of the mid-2000s.

DVP 26 Iron Kobra – Dungeon Master LP/CD
DVP 57 Iron Kobra – Might & Magic LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present IRON KOBRA's highly anticipated third album, Eternal Dagger, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Additionally their two previous albums will be re-released at the same time.
Formed in 2008, Germany's IRON KOBRA began with a noble mission: to bring heavy metal back to its unpolished, rough, and weird roots. Influenced by heroes of old like Iron Maiden, Cirith Ungol, Living Death, Manowar, and Tank with a sprinkle of punk, the band brewed up a venomous concoction of catchy-yet-speedy heavy metal with maximum potential for engagement – whether it was singing along to, banging your head, and / or raising your fist! Their first few years were busy, releasing the Cult of the Snake demo in 2009 and the Battlesword EP the year after. After playing extensively all throughout Europe and earning a reputation for being a force to be reckoned with live, IRON KOBRA teamed up with DYING VICTIMS in 2012 for the release of their momentous debut album, Dungeon Masters, and three years later for their more refined second album, Might & Magic. The years after – especially those around the pandemic – brought the band's external momentum to a crawl. But behind the scenes, they were still writing and playing select shows, even venturing as far as Japan.
Now, at very long last, IRON KOBRA return to stake their claim as kings of swords & sorcery metal with Eternal Dagger! Granted, the characteristically amazing cover artwork suggests a sci-fi bent, but the timeless HEAVY METAL the Germans unleash here is vintage IRON KOBRA: immediately recognizable as them, but still reflecting on (and refining) their past, incorporating influences from their favorite bands to result in something that will be YOUR favorite soon enough! Aided by the gleaming & glorious production of Stefan Castevet (Vulture, Luzifer), Eternal Dagger explodes with excitement at every turn, its nine songs ranging speed metal tracks like "Trembling Dungeons" to NWOBHM-fueled rockers like "Shibuya Nights" and epics like "Mountains of Madness." It goes without saying that IRON KOBRA's arsenal here offers a wide variety of pure metal gold, evoking the likes of Exciter, Brocas Helm, Diamond Head, and early Running Wild but, of course, with their undeniable personality and panache.
So strap yourselves to your seats, maniacs: the Cult of the Snake is back, bringing you heavy hymns that will pierce your eardrums like a heavy metal drill!

DVP 388 Cutthroat – Invoking Terror MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Invoking Terror, the highly anticipated debut mini-album of Ireland's CUTTHROAT, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
The island of Ireland may not appear often when it comes to underground bands...yet when it does, it strikes hard and swift! Witness CUTTHROAT, the goriest addition yet, who are now delivering their debut mini-album following two demos in 2023 and 2025, respectively. Aptly titled Invoking Terror, this five-song / 25-minute blast of filth & fury delivers violent, thrashing DEATH METAL that worships the underground's forgotten days of old. For sure, CUTTHROAT may be "new," but they definitely sound OLD here: think early / best Possessed, Morbid Angel, Merciless, and Necrovore and you're within the power-trio's wheelhouse. And no, they don't intend to reinvent that wheel any time soon; the wheel that is Invoking Terror simply rolls over you – FAST – and the only recourse is to submit and headbang like a fucking maniac or summarily get flattened like the wimp that you are.
The modern underground has yet to see such unbridled violence since the glory days of the aforementioned bands, and indeed is that CUTTHROAT's aim on Invoking Terror. There is no story, no fashion, no trends – this is simply audial torture sent to invoke terror over all who listen!

DVP 389 Hyena/Risingfall – Heavy Metal Heroes MLP/MCD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Heavy Metal Heroes, a special split EP between Peru's HYENA and Japan's RISINGFALL, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
Heavy metal is living a global explosion, driven by underground bands that keep alive the legacy of those Heavy Metal Heroes who created eternal anthems. This titular mini-album brings together two bands separated by a great distance but united in an undying thirst for true metal.
From Cajamarca, Peru's HYENA return after touring worldwide in support of their DYING VICTIMS debut album, About Rock and Roll. Carrying forward the spirit that defined their first record, the Peruvians deliver two brand-new tracks as the first strike from their forthcoming second album. Raw and bloodthirsty, the band bring their turn-of-the-'80s style to a boil here, more anthemic and charismatic than ever.
From Tokyo, Japan's RISINGFALL continue their ascent with new material following 2022's DYING VICTIMS debut album Rise or Fall and last year's self-released EP Dungeon's Call. After their performance at Germany's Keep It True Rising Festival, the band has established itself among today's true torchbearers of heavy metal. Their two brand-new tracks here bring a dazzling display of old-metal values filtered through that uniquely Eastern lens.
Heavy Metal Heroes stands as a statement of real underground heavy metal: forged in tradition, carried across continents, and kept alive by those who remain faithful to its sound and spirit. In support of the release, HYENA and RISINGFALL will join forces for a co-headlining triple strike of shows in Tokyo in June.

Beer drinkers and hell raisers though and through, this one is for the backwards leaning blue-collar metal maniacs.8 tracks + a cover of German heavy metal cult act Tyrant finished of this Second Strike.

DVP 392 INTO DARKNESS – Route to the Other Side LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the long-awaited debut album of Italy's INTO DARKNESS, Route to the Other Side, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Italy's INTODARKNESS have been a work in progress since their formation in 2011. Led by vocalist / guitarist Doomed Warrior from the very beginning, the band released a handful of demos, a couple splits, and a couple EPs during their first decade of existence. While all short-lengths, they certainly did not lack in quality. As time (and lineups) went on, INTO DARKNESS' primary influences – equally early Asphyx and Soulburn, Pentacle, Sinister, Gorefest, Dead Head, Phlebotomized, Acrostichon, and Thanatos among others – came more sharply into focus, aligning reverently within old-school Dutch death metal in style but with a unique lyrical focus: divulgative astronomy. Not astrology, not sci-fi, no Lovecraft – only and specifically divulgative astronomy, maybe poetically but definitely realistically.
Now, at long last, INTO DARKNESS are prepared to unleash their debut album. Tellingly titled Route to the Outer Side, the Italians' first full-length is a concept record about the outer solar system, which still considers Pluto as a planet and also includes Halley's Comet. As a power-trio, they unload a twisted, hulking mass of DEATH METAL – dark, doomed, but not without a special spark of astral atmosphere. Mind you, INTO DARKNESS still don't do "sci-fi" or "spacey" death metal; rather, the sweeping songwriting that overtakes the listener with an energetic-yet-patient pace spells out in subtler terms the band's lyrical conceits. Put another way, they show you rather than tell you about the vast, ominous majesty of space, leaving behind cliché sonic signifiers in favor of timeless death metal songcraft. Nevertheless, the trio possess prodigious chops, and are unafraid to often put them in service of the song – but when framed within the album's powerful & professional production, it all feels exceptionally organic and far from flashy.
A creative, passionate vision that's bloomed beyond their trademark tribute to classic Dutch death metal, INTO DARKNESS have finally arrived. Prepare for the Route to the Other Side!

DVP 393 JORDSJØ – Pestkrønikene LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present JORDSJØ's highly anticipated new album, Pestkrønikene, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
JORDSJØ released their first tape in 2015. With the fourth tape, 2017's Jord, the band got a wider audience outside their native Norway and subsequently released full-lengths on such labels as Karisma, Pancromatic, and Apollon. The band works as a duo in the studio, but for the last eight years, they have played live as a quintet. JORDSJØ are led by multi-instrumentalist Håkon Oftung, who has been a part of Oslo's psychedelic, progressive, and heavy rock undergrounds for many years, and has played in Black Magic, Tusmørke, The Chronicles of Father Robin, Wobbler, Zenon, and labelmates FLIGHT to mention but a few. He's joined by longtime companion and childhood friend Kristian Frøland, who plays drums and percussion, and also produced and mixed Pestkrønikene.
Pestkrønikene is a part of JORDSJØ's 10-year anniversary, and their ninth release overall. The record started out as a compilation of studio outtakes from 2020-2025, but then took on a form of its own, with the songs linked together thematically. Lyrically, those themes reflect war, upheaval, the fall of kings and the rise of a new dawn, and cults and sects. Sonically, Pestkrønikene encapsulates the JORDSJØ experience as well as extends beyond it. Mythical and magickal, the album honors the band's background in hard rock and heavy metal, and combines this with their own analog and organic blend of progressive / psychedelic folk rock. To say that band and record, both in general, blend '70s heavy rock like Deep Purple, Rush, and Ashbury with the progressive landscapes of Gentle Giant, Høst, and Landberk somewhat undersells JORDSJØ's particular headspace. The soothingly otherworldly atmosphere sounds incredibly era-authentic but, more so, exists in a parallel universe worth revisiting over and over again; truly, new details and vistas open up with each spin, even with the soundfield being lushly Spartan. To make that anniversary all the sweeter, JORDSJØ are here joined by a few amazing guests: Jon Henriksen from Black Magic, Kristian Valbo from Obliteration / Aura Noir, and Andreas Prestmo and Lars Fredrik Frøislie from Wobbler. Sonic alchemy, Pestkrønikene is.
Succinct yet deceptively expansive at just 36 minutes, Pestkrønikene is a generous feast of fantastical, extra-dimensional exploration. While not "heavy" in the usual DYING VICTIMS sense, JORDSJØ honor the old ways – handmade, honest, even heroic.

DVP 394 TORPOR – Ɖungeon Ɖescent LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Poland's TORPOR, Ɖungeon Ɖescent, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
TORPOR were formed in Warsaw by three school friends and music fans under the huge influence of Bathory. While recording their first release, Burning Realms / Behold the Spell of Black Fortress, in dusk of 2017, the band were laying their music foundations inspired by the epic side of black and the haunted / melancholic side of early '80s heavy metal.
Since their last release – 2021's The Ancient Tales EP, which was actually recorded in 2019 – TORPOR parted ways with their drummer, who alongside Mike Magister I.V. and Franciszek Archont, was a founding member of the trio. Upon the arrival of a new drummer and long-time friend, Bloodhammer, they recorded their debut album. It marks the result of their work and path undertaken.
"We knew it was our direction to follow and polish, so now, after some time, we can happily present our debut album, Ɖungeon Ɖescent," the band state. "It is our first real record that pictures our vision exactly how we liked to. After years of wandering around basement rehearsal rooms and two self-released demos, we are finally coming out of our lairs with this LP under the banners of DYING VICTIMS."
Their past connections with fellow labelmates ARMAGH and FUKKIN' VENGEANCE somewhat explains TORPOR's link to the idiosyncratic side of ancient heavy metal, which has taken far more prominence on Ɖungeon Ɖescent over the first-wave black metal side – but that's only part of the picture. Some might call it "cleaning up," others might liken it to a harnessing of feral energies, but TORPOR's emphatic-yet-stoic strut conveys equal amounts of energy and mystery, finesse and fine-tuning. Of course, the power-trio can kick into high gear when they want to, be it heroic gallop or even hypnotic blast, but their sense of movement from one moody segment to the next imparts a narrative flow that's part and parcel of their lyrical imagery. Or, perhaps it's true swords & sorcery metal without belaboring the point – no "COOL IMAGERY DUDE" without the music & atmosphere to back it up, more specifically – that harkens to a glorious, sadly bygone era.
However you approach this Ɖungeon Ɖescent, TORPOR have surely delivered a cult classic in the making. Passion, authenticity, the reverberating ring of truth...ancient powers arise from time immemorial!
