Dying Victims Productions is proud to announce the following new Pre-orders:




DVP 387 Iron Kobra – Eternal Dagger LP/CD/MC
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.

DVP 390 Witching Hour –  Past Midnight... LP/CD

Originally released in 2011, as well as on tape through Dying Victims in 2012, this album introduced the evolvement of the band's sound from rough and straight forward black thrash to a more varied, multilayered approach to the genre. The fast and evil aspects are still present, yet the band managed to weave in the early version of their yearning, melancholic and ancient heavy metal atmosphere. Ancient heavy metal black thrash!

DVP 391 Baphomet's Blood – Second Strike LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the much-needed reissue of BAPTHOMET'S BLOOD's sophomore album, Second Strike, on vinyl LP and – for the first time – CD formats.

Originally released in 2008, the Italians definitely continued in the same vein: rough speeding heavy metal hailing the old goods of NWOBHM and 80s speed metal. 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.
