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!

Dying Victims Productions is proud to announce the following new releases:



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!

The devilish three-piece delivers as many songs that continue their blasphemous path of worshipping the true origins of merciless thrash metal. These songs were written while carrying the flame throughout several European countries in order to bridge the time until their next full length.

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
