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.

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!

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.

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!

Originally released in 2014, this 6-track mini-album continued the evolvement of the band's sound from rough and straight forward black thrash to a more varied, multilayered approach to the genre. On this record, Witching Hour still concentrated on shorter, more to the point song writing, whereas their following albums began to see more expansive and atmospheric tunes.

DVP 397  Rapid – Enter the Realm of Fire LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present RAPID's highly anticipated debut album, Enter the Realm of Fire, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

It was but 2022 when RAPID released their debut mini-album, Blackstar Oppression Regime, via DYING VICTIMS. Here, the Finnish power-trio had sharpened their sound into something compelling and uncategorizable. The urgency of hardcore punk, the hook-oriented propulsion of speed metal, and the spidery aura of old-wave black metal all collided into something that was electric the second you pressed "play." Subtly unique, Blackstar Oppression Regime also suggested that RAPID had ever more in their tank.

Now, RAPID unload their fullest arsenal with the debut album Enter the Realm of Fire. Arriving over a decade since their original formation, this first full-length displays the patience and hard graft that should come with a band's debut album – one gauntlet grasping their foundational past, and a hand on the torch for the future. Indeed, that mini-album sported some lead lines that could've come from classic deathrock, but on Enter the Realm of Fire, they're in full bloom, connecting the dots from turn-of-the-'80s heavy metal to contemporaneous underground rumblings that should be immediately apparent to only true believers. That the hot-rockin' takes precedence in RAPID's current attack doesn't make their ancient musings any less urgent; rather, these more flowing and delayed-gratification constructions serve songwriting that's stronger overall and more charismatic than ever. To that, bassist Vincent Revenge's vocals have become both clearer and grimier, approximating an off-the-rails crypt-keeper narrating nefarious deeds; simply witness the epic closing title track for ghoulishly poignant proof. Or, really, dispense with the fancy words, Enter the Realm of Fire, and be mesmerized by RAPID's olde-worlde metal anarchy!

DVP 398 Deceptor – Reign of Terror LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of North Carolina's DECEPTOR, Reign of Terror, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Hailing from Raleigh, DECEPTOR are death / thrash trio driven by the underground movement of 1988-1992. The band's led by vocalist / bassist Gabriel Earley, who is responsible for writing music and lyrics, graphic design, and production / mixing / mastering. A self-taught musician, Earley started DECEPTOR in his bedroom, largely crediting the band's creation to hearing the stories of bands like Anthrax and Metallica getting their start from Jon Zazula's influence and belief in their potential/success. Jon died shortly before Earley began taking the idea of starting a band more seriously, and eventually, he found some musicians to make that idea come to life. The lineup coalesced when guitarist Preston Lanier joined in June 2022 after Earley approached him at an Exodus show with a copy of DECEPTOR's first demo, Bound by Ritual; then, in October of that year, drummer Andrew Harper joined the band after witnessing their performance at a DIY house show. Together, the power-trio released the Bathed in Blood EP in 2023 and, the following year, the "Street General" digital single – both recordings setting the stage for their inevitable debut album.

Titled Reign of Terror, DECEPTOR's debut album is tour de force of classic deathrash, firmly (and authentically) situated between those years of 1988 and 1992. With influences ranging from old Sepultura, Whiplash, and Protector on the thrashier end of things to Viogression, Ripping Corpse, and early Gorguts on the deathlier – and then Coroner, squarely in between – DECEPTOR construct mind-melting labyrinths across the ten-song / 33-minute record. Speed is always front and center here, but effectively shifts gears from gallop to one-two blast to overdrive and plenty more in between. Likewise, the riffing of Lanier spans the blunt & barbarian to technical terror, effectively instilling both aggression and tension in their surprisingly dynamic songwriting. Earley's bass work adds especial heft to their skulking breakdowns, which could almost be a record in themselves, so ever-present and compelling as they are. And Harper delivers a performance that his hero Gene Hoglan would've loved; one could say his violent acrobatics Leave Scars. Perhaps what's most salient – beyond the era-authentic songwriting, that is – is the production on Reign of Terror, which sounds both throwback and refreshing, humidly raw and yet exceptionally finessed. Completed by Earley's '91-vintage death-growls – again, just the right amount of reverb here – DECEPTOR's first full-length stands as a reverential reinvigoration of archaic powers.

DVP 399  Teratum – Ordnance of Spiritual Warfare   MLP/MCD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TERATUM's highly anticipated debut mini-album, Ordnance of Spiritual Warfare, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.

Upon the wretched annihilation of Beastiality in the cursed year of 2024, there arose from the smoldering ashes a force most terrible and divine: TERATUM. With a two-song promo tape the following year to announce their arrival, the Swedish quartet are now set to unleash their first widely available recording: Ordnance of Spiritual Warfare.

Whilst not ditching the blackthrashing mania of Beastiality entirely, TERATUM here conjure a sulfurous storm that runs parallel to their belligerent predecessor, asserting an iron-fisted identity all their own. Indeed, the thrashing is violent, but the BLACK deepens into a malodorous void. Spidery leads instill a sense of the ancient, and songwriting runs from the murderously swift to the moonlit entranced. No influences need be known, but rest assured that they're OLD – and that Ordnance of Spiritual Warfare actually brings something new to the idiom.

Maniacs for Nifelheim, Desaster, Zemial, Sweden's Morbid, and Germany's Poison will surely begin paying obeisance to TERATUM, on evidence of this four-song / 21-minute attack with spell. The conflagration that shall consume this forsaken earth is come!

DVP 403 Midnight Prey – Jenseitsritt LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MIDNIGHT PREY's highly anticipated second album, Jenseitsritt, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

It's been a not-very-long but very strange trip for Germany's MIDNIGHT PREY. Formed in 2012 in the Black Forest but eventually moving to Hamburg in 2015, the power-trio toiled away for their first decade until the release of 2019's Uncertain Times. Indeed aptly titled, MIDNIGHT PREY's debut album became something of a modern classic with its never-belabored, effortlessly cool mix of '70s hard rock, '80s traditional metal, and classic punk and speed metal. Then, in that cursed year of 2020, the band called it quits...for a couple years. Thankfully, when they returned in 2023, with the Black Cat / Sword and Shield EP (reprised on the Gathered Under Open Skies split with fellow Teutonic labelmates FIRMAMENT), all was good: MIDNIGHT PREY had not lost one step, and were more poignant than ever.

And that poignancy perhaps reaches its apotheosis with their long-awaited second album, Jenseitsritt. Here, MIDNIGHT PREY don't sound all that removed from their past – a clean-yet-dirty surge that's equal parts punk, rock, and metal – but it's all the little details that then add up to the overarching work that make Jenseitsritt such a unique and incredibly engaging listen. That (uniquely) kinda-clean tone the trio use is somehow more ethereal and heartstrings-pulling here, each strum and note-bend ringing resoundingly straight into the listener's soul. And yet, MIDNIGHT PREY rhythmically sound more restless across the seven-song / 37-minute album, their raw energy bubbling over into feral, unfiltered passion; Jenseitsritt is an album you quite literally FEEL. Maybe it's an increasingly accurate reflection of their wild, sweat-soaked live show, or maybe it's all those years spent away from the full-length front, but the electricity coursing through them carries a potent amount of urgency, and their melodies bend and break and rebuild in suitably breathless fashion. And yet...Jenseitsritt almost feels...relaxing in its poetic flow. One of the most unassumingly unique bands around have gotten even better: MIDNIGHT PREY return with impossible splendor and unbridled fervor!

DVP 404 Critical Defiance – Rivers of Blood LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present CRITICAL DEFIANCE's highly anticipated fourth album, Rivers of Blood, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Formed in 2010, Chile's CRITICIAL DEFIANCE have become a dependably hateful thrash metal force. Built on speed, aggression, and technical precision, the band channel the violent spirit of old-school thrash metal through sharp riffing, restless structures, and a raw South American intensity. To date, their three albums – 2019's Misconception, 2022's No Life Forms, and 2024's The Search Won't Fall – have cemented the Valparaíso natives' place in the underground.

Now, CRITICAL DEFIANCE come storming out of the underground and return with their fourth full-length, Rivers of Blood. Compact, direct, and destructive, the eight-song / 32-minute album displays the band at their most focused, combining fast thrash metal violence with darker atmospheres, instrumental tension and a stronger sense of dramatic progression. All of this is heightened by Sebastián Palominos' clear & cutting production, which thankfully also retains an organic immediacy.

Central to the success of Rivers of Blood is its sequencing. "Red Omen" works as an ominous opening; "Innate to Kill" starts the first attack; "The Feeling Destroyer" showcases CRITICAL DEFIANCE's technique and compositional work; and "Rivers of Blood" lands with a slower form of thrash metal and liberating lyrics. "Valparaíso" opens Side B as the longest and most distinctive piece on the record, connecting the band's violence with the blood, memory, and decay of their own city. The second half of the album then moves from the intensity and darkness of "Dead Tongues" into the short instrumental passage "Ceremony of the Final Call," before closing with "Glorify War," a direct final attack that reinforces the tone of Rivers of Blood: violent, hateful, and destructive.

Rivers of Blood is not a nostalgic revival record. It is CRITICAL DEFIANCE sharpening their own language: violent, fast, hateful, dark, and restless thrash metal from the Chilean underground.

DVP 405 Watcher – Mistress of our Time LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Sweden's WATCHER, Mistress of Our Time, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Hailing from Sweden, WATCHER was formed in 2023 by singer Viktor Gustafsson, initially as a one-man band. With Gustafsson handling everything, two recordings resulted in 2024: the rough 'n' ready debut album Key to the Unbreachable and the similarly styled EP Glory or Agony, which was released early the next year. Truer than true, these two recordings presented WATCHER as skillful disciples of first-wave Swedish heavy metal. In late 2024, guitarist Max Warnby and drummer Jakob Nilsson joined forces with Gustafsson, and WATCHER released a second EP, Chains of Crystal, in the spring of 2025 and soon afterwards played Muskelrock. In late 2025, second guitarist Timmy Lindgren joined the band, and the recording of a new full-length began.

If Chains of Crystal hinted at the fantasy-cloaked adrenaline that could flow through WATCHER's veins with a fuller lineup, then Mistress of Our Time takes that proposition to a big, velvety boil. Thankfully, the ingredients are pretty much the same – said first-wave-Sweden legends like Heavy Load, Gotham City, Axewitch, Torch, and even Hot Records-era Europe along with the equally cult likes of Ostrogoth, Grim Reaper, and Sortilège – but where previous WATCHER recordings aimed to take the listener back to 1984, Mistress of Our Time truly does time-travel there with some unique, mystical magick. Energy, hooks, and atmosphere are all in harmonious lockstep here (with the emphasis on ENERGY), and the quartet gallop into the fray with triumphant poise and copious power. Unlike the oncoming thrash era, though, WATCHER wisely don't try win the speed stakes; their swords & sorcery-bound anthems simply don't need that. Authenticity is the riddle of steel they've mastered, by Crom.

If WATCHER's goal has always been to keep the old heavy metal spirit alive, then Mistress of Our Time captures it with pinpoint poignancy!

DVP 407 Ludgar – Violent Visions LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Austria's LUDGAR, Violent Visions, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Let's get it out of the way: LUDGAR is originally an abbreviated word for Loup de guerre ("war wolf"), describing what was one of the largest trebuchet – or catapult, if you will – used in medieval times. We're basically talking about one giant destructive force used to crush opponents and villages alike, and it's quite a fitting analogy for what the band LUDGAR stand for.

Formed in 2024 in a dungeon in Linz, Austria by DEATH RACER guitarist S. Bruckner (here on bass) and VENATOR drummer J. Steidl alongside L. Höller on vocals and S. Bolda (also in Zepter) on guitar, this new outfit is deeply entrenched in the '80s yet refuses to label their music with the cliché "everyone brought to the table their own influences." One thing was made clear, though: the result had to be rough and brutal. And their first demo, 2024's Molochian Rites, was indeed rough-as-fuck.

So, what do the Austrians do? Make a debut album that's rougher-than-fuck! Enter Violent Visions, a record as fittingly titled as their moniker itself. Right from the beginning, you know you're treading on pure METAL: unfiltered, raw, and explosive (and, of course, deeply entrenched in the '80s). Dungeonic in atmosphere and breathless in urgency, these Violent Visions will draw parallels to Hellfire's Dominion-era Desaster, now-labelmates WITCHING HOUR, or a more blackened version of Hellish Crossfire, but the truth is that LUDGAR roar from a deeper and more malevolent pit – nay, DUNGEON – where all light is shun. To liken the album to "blackthrash" would be grossly missing the point, however; the usual tropes are NOT invoked, and the atmosphere and attendant sensations – unclean and unhallowed, lawless and lusting, a delirium that's devilish and addicting – elevate LUDGAR into such esteemed company as much as the songs themselves. More than anything, there's a true sense of danger that's been sorely missing for, well, forever. Open your eyes to Violent Visions!

DVP 408 Skum Strike – Lawless Intrigue from Hell LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SKUMSTRIKE's highly anticipated second album, Flawless Intrigue from Hell, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Blazing a trail through the inferno, fists death-locked on the throttle, Montreal's SKUMSTRIKE strike back with their second full-length, Flawless Intrigue from Hell. Inspired by grand traditions of backstabbing and deceit, Flawless Intrigue from Hell combines a lethal dose of speed metal with the gunpowder roar of thrash and death metal. Cross-contaminating the wild fury of Japan's Sabbat with the abandon of early Slayer and Bathory, the Canadian power-trio deliver a raw and relentless affair over ten tracks that establishes their pole position in the relentless race to speed metal hell. If their Deadly Intrusions debut in 2022 came roaring out of the gates, then Flawless Intrigue from Hell fucking obliterates those gates!

Featuring redline ragers as well as slower, deeply poisonous dirges, Flawless Intrigue from Hell was recorded by Spectral Wound mastermind Patrick McDowell in the aftermath of SKUMSTRIKE's first European tour, and represents their first dangerous meeting with German powerhaus DYING VICTIMS. The album is crowned by an unhinged cover of Abigail's "Satanik Metal Fucking Hell," with possessed, skeletal artwork courtesy of Chris Kiesling of Misanthropic-Art (artist for Mortuary Drape, Hooded Menace, Grave Infestation). Fueled up and ready for violence, this latest effort from these northern raiders is sure to elevate SKUMSTRIKE to the top of the poser-killing pack!

DVP 409 Axetasy – A Paranormal Duet MC

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present AXETASY's new double single "A Paranormal Duet" on music cassette format.

Following their much acclaimed 2025 debut album "Withering Tides", German speed metal four-piece AXETASY are back with a new double single (enhanced with an intro and outro). They continue with their fast-as-a-shark heavy metal approach worshipping cult 80s acts while carving out their own identity. This release is very important to the band, as they for the first time took the complete process (writing, recording, producing) into their own hands. Get your fix of AXETASY while the band is already working on their 2nd album.

DVP 406 FVNERAL FVKK – Indecent Idols LP/CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present FVNERAL FVKK's highly anticipated second album, Indecent Idols, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Founded in Hamburg in 2015, FVNERAL FVKK consists entirely of musicians from the city's extreme metal underground. FVNERAL FVKK combine towering, epic doom metal with lyrics exclusively inspired by documented crimes, abuse, and corruption committed by religious institutions throughout history and into the present day.

Following the blasphemous acclaim of their debut EP, 2017's Lecherous Liturgies, and their first full-length sermon, 2019's Carnal Confessions, Germany's most notorious ecclesiastical doom metal congregation emerge once again with a new chapter of sacred obscenity: Indecent Idols. Musically, this equally aptly titled second album serves as a logical continuation of FVNERAL FVKK's established sound: solemn, cathedral-sized riffing, mournful melodies, and crushing heaviness merge with an atmosphere that oscillates between sacred grandeur and utter moral decay. Right from the austere opening choral notes into the senses-swarming chords of the record's first riff, Indecent Idols creates an all-enveloping and alternately dense / spacious experience; one could call it "monastic" if not for the heretical lyricism, but the strident march of it all says everything on its own. Likewise, Cantor Cinaedicus' clean tenor could be considered "heavenly" despite the dark nature of his themes, and the rest of the band's dynamic shifts straddle the line between those heavens and Hell in sweeping fashion.

Influenced by the epic tradition of classic doom metal while embracing an increasingly oppressive and emotional intensity, Indecent Idols expands both the scale and darkness of FVNERAL FVKK's previous works. Amen!

DVP 410 ARMORY – Echoes of the Astrolith LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated fourth album of Sweden's ARMORY, Echoes of the Astrolith, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Like a meteor plunging through outer space with one target in mind – Planet Earth – Gothenburg's ARMORY have been launching alien speed metal invasions across the globe since 2012. The fiery stars of Judas Priest, Agent Steel, and Slayer have been their guiding light, but ARMORY have magickally managed to make manifest their own unique, vast world across three albums and last year's Black Star EP.

That EP, while still within the orbit of their characteristic sound, kicked things into overdrive – but with the imminent release of their fourth album, Echoes of the Astrolith, ARMORY truly kick things into an even higher gear. Fans will recognize the arrival of new turbo-laser vocalist C. Rostoff, who immediately makes his presence known. His dynamic & daring pipes rocket all across space here, narrating the dread tales of the album's nine primary tracks ("Omens" is a suitably titled instrumental). But more than Rostoff's vocal performance, arguably, the biggest change in ARMORY's cosmic armory is a decidedly darker, heavier, and perhaps even eviler sound: speed metal, yes, but more blitzing, barraging, and RELENTLESS than ever. Indeed, with song structures touching the technical and the players utterly locked-in, Echoes of the Astrolith seemingly zooms from one end of the starry void to the other with obscene zeal. To call this record a "speed metal U.F.O." would not be inaccurate. Enter ARMORY's menacing, pitch-black parallel universe only if you dare!

DVP 411 STREET JUSTICE – Rules are for Suckers LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present STREET JUSTICE's striking debut album, Rules Are For Suckers, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

After the breakup of Bavaria's SAVAGE—who released an EP and the DYING VICTIMS debut album Glory Riders, both of which were critically acclaimed—former members Pawel Nemkovic and Axel Warrior sought to further revive the era of mean heavy metal. It will now continue under the banner of STREET JUSTICE, and the first fruit of meanness is the band's debut album, Rules Are For Suckers.

Much like SAVAGE's Glory Riders was aptly titled, more so is STREET JUSTICE's Rules Are For Suckers. While the style and attitude remain the same, the songwriting and composition have evolved significantly, culminating in riffs, leads, and hooks rich in variety and authentically rendered by true maniacs: 1980s Los Angeles is well and truly alive here, and powerfully so. Indeed, much like their predecessor, STREET JUSTICE variously recall the likes of classic W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, and early Van Halen. But compared to SAVAGE, STREET JUSTICE amplify the sleaze in their sound, bringing to mind a heavier L.A. Guns during their late '80s prime.

Proving that Rules Are For Suckers, STREET JUSTICE look to an unlikely source for a cover song: Tina Turner's "One of the Living," unforgettably from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, which is given a suitably heavy (and sleazier) uplift here. More than that, this cover choice underlines the wasteland theme running through the album, from both the percolating pulse of the riffing to the wide-open atmosphere across the record's nine tracks. Imagine L.A. Guns' "Electric Gypsy" video with Mad Max warlords riding fast and free, and you're getting close to the experience of STREET JUSTICE.

Heightening that atmosphere—and, especially, the heaviness—is the technical collaboration with TYRAN's Sergej Dukart. Together, both band and producer reach a new level of clarity and depth on Rules Are For Suckers, bringing a larger-than-life aspect to STREET JUSTICE's "spacious heaviness." Imagine a modern analogue to W.A.S.P.'s Inside the Electric Circus: this record is literally HUGE.

Before Marcel Riedel of Surturian joined STREET JUSTICE as their permanent drummer, the drum tracks for Rules Are For Suckers were recorded by Tobias Kasper of Sweeping Death. With this new lineup and the album in tow, STREET JUSTICE will continue to rock the stage and present their music exactly as it should be: MEAN HEAVY METAL!

DVP 412 DET / CRITICAL DEFIANCE – Bloodsurge MLP/MCD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Bloodsurge, a special split mini-album between DET and CRITICAL DEFIANCE, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.

Set to coincide with a joint tour this autumn, Bloodsurge pairs together two fierce & fiery forces from both the north and south: Finland's DET and Chile's CRITICAL DEFIANCE. DET are up first with three brand-new tracks that further prove why the power-trio are a "Destructive Elite Terror." Taking shape during the spring of this year, DET's vision here was to continue down the same vicious, chaotic path that their DYING VICTIMS debut album had laid out, "but we wanted to tighten the screws even further." And that tightening is indeed deliciously painful! Rounding out their offering is a suitably rowdy & evil live version of early demo banger "Death Knight," recorded at the Catalonia Extreme Gathering festival in Spain earlier this year.

CRITICAL DEFIANCE also offer three brand-new tracks plus an acoustic instrumental. As always, the Chilean thrashers go right for the throat, wasting no time with their razor-sharp & ripping attack. "These creations were not originally conceived to coexist," state the band, "yet this split provided the exact space they needed to acquire a shared identity – technical execution, acoustic contrast, the exploration of darker and more extreme territories, and the overwhelming drive of thrash metal in its most violent form." Of especial note is that instrumental, "Will of Steel," which poignantly honors thrash's oft-overlooked tradition of quieter contrast within an album context. Feel this Bloodsurge both on record and onstage!
