Pre-OrderΜετά από σχεδόν 30 χρόνια, επανακυκλοφορεί ο εμβληματικός δίσκος των Χαοτική Διάσταση «Δεν Περιμένω». Δεν πρόκειται απλώς για μια επανέκδοση, ούτε μόνο για ένα μουσικό ντοκουμέντο που αναβιώνει την ατμόσφαιρα και την ένταση της εποχής. Είναι η σύνδεση παρελθόντος και παρόντος για ένα άλμπουμ που άφησε το δικό του στίγμα στην ελληνική punk rock σκηνή και που, παρά την πάροδο των ετών, παραμένει διαχρονικό και ζωντανό. Είναι η απόδειξη πως κάποια πράγματα δεν ξεθωριάζουν. Είναι η συνέχεια μιας διαδρομής που δεν σταμάτησε ποτέ. Το άλμπουμ, που κυκλοφόρησε αρχικά το 1996 από τη Wipe Out Records, επιστρέφει με τη προσθήκη του τραγουδιού «Ο Θεατής», το οποίο είχε πρωτοεμφανιστεί στην ιστορική συλλογή «Το Μαγικό Βοτάνι». Κυκλοφορεί σε συνεργασία με την ΕΛ.Α.Σ. (Ελληνόφωνη Ανεξάρτητη Σκηνή), τέλη Οκτωβρίου. -
“The Force” is the second studio album by English metal pioneers Onslaught, originally released in 1986. Building on the raw intensity of Power From Hell, this release took their sound to new heights, earning its place as a classic among fans and critics alike. With relentless drumming, a diverse arsenal of razor-sharp riffs, and a commanding vocal performance, The Force delivered a defining statement of power and aggression. Its impact resonated across the scene, influencing bands like Exodus, Slayer, and Metallica, and leaving a lasting mark on the evolution of extreme music. -
“Power From Hell” is the debut studio album by British metal pioneers Onslaught, originally released in 1985. It explored the same dark and aggressive terrain as early Slayer and helped shape a sound that would later evolve into something even more extreme. With its raw intensity and relentless energy, the album became an important part of heavy music history, influencing and shaping the early works of legendary bands such as Exodus, Slayer, and Metallica. Nearly four decades later, “Power From Hell” remains a defining statement of its era.” -
Hailing from the former northern mining town of Wigan, between Manchester and Liverpool, the short-lived Electro Hippies were a band like no other, saluted as icons of crust punk and proto-grindcore. Following some cassette demos, a shared LP with Newcastle’s Generic and a Peel session, debut LP The Only Good Punk…Is A Dead One surfaced on Peaceville with twenty songs, all clocking in at under two minutes (around half being less than 60 seconds). Highly political, deeply ironic, and with a snatch of Black Sabbath in the mix, The Only Good Punk is the band at their blistering best, the peak that preceded their ultimate downfall. -
How many bands can say they had multiple debut albums? For crustcore sound terrorists Extreme Noise Terror, Holocaust In Your Head – The Original Holocaust, first recording version, continues to excuse itself in being reissued for what must be the last time before the last time. It’s no wonder why. We The Helpless is every bit as hopeless as it sounds – a blitzkrieg of wails and nightmarish sonics that tighten themselves around the temples until the eyes turn white. Statement will always stand on its own two feet as a perfect set opener and Innocence to Ignorance’s unhinged atmospheric armageddon as well as Use Your Mind’s sample-sprung assault on the senses are possible indications of where the band could’ve wound up had their line-up not been walking such a shaky tightrope. Rough as hell? Sure. But if you want to know what it feels like to have the signal input of your skull reflect a separation in the grounding circuit of the flesh from the neck down, then carry on screaming. -
In It For Life was the suitably titled 1989 LP by post-apocalyptic voltage mongrels Extreme Noise Terror and Filthkick, a Birmingham-based hardcore punk group, equally as championed by John Peel as ENT were. Work For Never and Damaging Noise performed here by the former to the same exhilarating degrees as Mount Vesuvius erupts is an unholy rumble of double-pronged vocal aggression and rampages of feedback that could burst boils not even formed yet. A vampire bullied into submission and burning in the sun. Filthkick follows with Cime Without A Name, an endless, ominous dirge before being mauled by a savage dog. Between The Lines jumping in and out of focus, but never losing any of its ferocity with blistering speed and sandblasting action. -
25 years in and Hellshock still have a lot to say and their sound is getting darker and heavier than ever. XXV dives deep into bleak, metallic stenchcore territory, blending their trademark crust foundation with Bolt Thrower-style riffing, somber melodies, and even the occasional synth touch that adds to the apocalyptic vibe. The production is massive, thick, heavy, but never over-polished. Everything hits hard: the guitars are crushing, the rhythm section is powerful, and the vocals bark with the usual visceral intensity. There’s an oppressive, almost funereal atmosphere running through the record that drags you down with it—and that’s a compliment. Hellshock kinda reinvent the wheel here creating something different that usual that I would define “progressive darkened stench core”. XXV is a fitting soundtrack for the end times: scary, powerful, and utterly uncompromising. American press by Black Water Records. Limited run of 500 copies. -

Hope Against Hope is the first new Catharsis record in twenty-four years, but it picks up right where they left off with their distinctive brand of heavy, dissonant, ambitious, and politically charged hardcore punk.Desperate times call for desperate measures. Taking up arms against a wave of authoritarianism and despair, North Carolina’s premier hardcore band, Catharsis, has recorded a new full-length album, “Hope Against Hope.”
This record picks up where their last material left off, continuing to push the envelope for what hardcore can do. Catharsis don’t retread the ground they broke on their previous albums, but press forward into ever more abrasive and dynamic territory. Politically, they remain uncompromisingly radical in their lives as well as lyrics. This is not a band that has slowed down, toned down, or mellowed out. Sticking to their roots in the do-it-yourself underground, they are releasing the album through CrimethInc. in the United States, Refuse in Europe, and No Gods No Masters in South America. The band recorded the drums with Benny Grotto at Mad Oak Studios and tracked the rest themselves. For the backing vocals, Catharsis tapped the vocalists of some of their favorite hardcore bands: Poland’s Next Victim, Brazil’s Point of No Return, and North Carolina’s own Scarecrow and Vittna. Mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studio and mastered by Scott Crouse, “Hope Against Hope” is as explosive as our times. Twenty-four years have passed since Catharsis released their last record, the split LP featuring “Arsonist’s Prayer,” though they did complete another song from that session for their discography in 2012. But they have been playing regularly together since 2013, adding Jimmy Chang (of Undying and Sect), who left the band in 1995, to the lineup that recorded the “Passion” LP. It was high time to record another album, making the most of material that has come together across two decades. In fact, Catharsis has never sounded better. “Hope Against Hope” is an assault on a self-destructing society and a beacon of inspiration for all who are determined to survive. -
One of Britain’s most consistent and enduring death metal bands, Birmingham’s Bolt Thrower has weathered the best and worst of times in the extreme genre’s history without ever giving in to commercial temptations, or hardly even altering its sound. The fact that they were unusually blessed with a steady lineup throughout much of their career no doubt contributed to this stability, and though they were rarely bestowed wild praise for their efforts, with most of their competitors or contemporaries either adopting other styles or long retired, Bolt Thrower has gradually established itself as one of the best death metal bands ever to emerge from England. Those Once Loyal is the eighth and final album by the British death metal band Bolt Thrower. It was released in 2005. With Bolt Thrower deciding against releasing a follow-up to Those Once Loyal, it was Bolt Thrower’s final studio album before breaking up a year after drummer Martin Kearns’ death in September 2015. Like all of Bolt Thrower’s albums, Those Once Loyal deals with war, specifically World War I. The cover shows a World War 1 QF 18 pounder field gun and its crew in action and is based on an original WW1 photograph.The picture is also found on the back side of the Guards Memorial in St James’s Park in London.- Gatefold, including a poster

Where do you go and what do you do when you achieve near legendary status with your debut album? In D.R.I.’s world, you release “Dealing With It!,” a record that infused their increasing technicality with a love of metal and the raw, fast as hell hardcore sound that they patented. Surpassing their debut was never going to be easy, but with their second album, D.R.I. managed to do just that in a maelstrom of vicious, catchy, cerebral hardcore and metal. -
Third D.R.I. album, originally released in 1987. This genre-defining album helped coin the term crossover and influenced hordes of punks around the globe that went on to form their own crossover/thrash/whatever bands. This is classic, metallic DRI thrash, hardcore and crossover. -

The cover painting is titled "Contact – Wait Out", which is also the first track on the next album, "Honour – Valour – Pride".

The American Way is the second studio album by American thrash metal band Sacred Reich, released on May 15, 1990, via Metal Blade Records. As they evolved, Sacred Reich not only became one of the more accessible thrash metal units, but also one of the most lyrically compelling. Dark, troubling, and often highly sociopolitical, Reich has a lot to say on this solid effort. Addressing such topics as environmental destruction ("Crimes Against Humanity") and the horrors of apartheid in South Africa ("State of Emergency"), The American Way makes us glad that lead singer/bassist Phil Rind had become fairly easy to understand. "Who's to Blame" points the finger at those who blame headbangers for teenage suicide, arguing that metal's detractors should look for the real culprit and say something about parental neglect instead. More lighthearted than the rest of the LP, "31 Flavors" is a rap-influenced number urging metalheads to broaden their musical tastes and check out some hip-hop and funk. The American Way was definitely Reich's finest hour. -

On 10/28/2022 Metal Blade Records is proud to reissue this seminal crusher. -

The fifth King Diamond album featured slower tempos, more keyboards, more midrange vocals and a larger nod to traditional heavy metal and hard rock, alongside a loose conceptual thread tying the songs together. It split the King Diamond fanbase upon its release in 1990, but many fans feel it's one of King's finest. -
Conspiracy is the fourth studio album by Danish heavy metal band King Diamond, and the second part of a story that began on the album Them.

Abigail is a horror-themed concept album released in 1987 by heavy metal band King Diamond, led by the musician of the same name. It is the second overall album and first ever concept album in their discography (or at least in King Diamond’s solo discography, for he has been making several albums with Mercyful Fate at this time). The story revolves around a man named Jonathan La'Fey and his newlywed wife Miriam Natias as they, against the warnings expressed by seven mysterious horsemen, move in to a dark and gloomy mansion that Jonathan inherited. The night of their move, he’s visited by the ghost of his relative, Count de La'Fey. The Count shows Jonathan to a vault holding the sarcophagus of Abigail La'Fey, the stillborn illegitimate child of The Count’s unfaithful wife, who both died 68 years previous. It’s then revealed by The Count that Abigail’s spirit has taken hold of Miriam’s soul, and will soon be reborn unless he takes her life. Abigail is considered to be one of the best and most influential albums in metal, especially for one with a horror theme as well-executed as this. It’s also one of their highest-selling albums ever, selling over 175,000 copies in North America alone and becoming the first album under Roadrunner Records to break through the Billboard 200. -
