• 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.

    EXCLUSIVE
    Led by ex-Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo, Grip Inc. released this debut in 1995 during the infertile years of Thrash Metal. Joining Lombardo on this progressive Thrash opus are Gus Chambers (vocals), Waldemar Sorychta (guitars, keyboards), and Jason Viebrooks (bass). The music is both technically demanding and extremely heavy. From the first moment to the last Power Of Inner Strength do only one thing and that is to Thrash with razor-sharp riffs, paranoid solos, aggressive and strong singing by Gus Chambers and the familiar killing drum smashing of Lombardo. Vinyl first Official Reissue since it's initial release in 1995. Limited to 100 copies of transp. red w/ black marble - with numbering obi. Release date: August 8, 2022
    * Αccording to vinyl pressing plant deadlines this should have been released in 2023. In any case the pressing plant delivered the records much sooner. So the official release is 2022 and not 2023 as you can see on cover and inner artwork.
  • EXCLUSIVE
    The American thrash metal band Grip Inc. are most recognized for their inclusion of ex-"Slayer" drummer Dave Lombardo. The band also consists of the British vocalist Gus Chambers, bassist Jason Viebrooks and guitarist Waldemayr Sorichta. Following the band's awesome debut album "Power Of Inner Strength" in 1995, the fierce four-piece went on to release their follow-up album "Nemesis" in 1997. From the start of the album, the band deliver a guitar-heavy feast of thrash metal that displays the members' individual musical talent perfectly. In much the same vein as the band's previous debut album, the album thrashes out its meaty guitar riffs with perhaps a slightly slower pace than its predecessor yet with the same heaviness and depth. The band manage to take you from harmonic and melodic to intense metal of speed and aggression, with their experienced song-writing skills. Vinyl first Official Reissue since it’s initial release in 1997. Limited to 200 copies of transp. brown w/ black marble – with numbering obi. Release date: June 2, 2023

  • Three decades ago, before the music industry began to colonize it, the do-it-yourself underground was a space of exodus and experimentation, often in violent opposition to the rest of the world. This was the context in which Catharsis appeared, one of a new wave of bands to meld metal drama with the raw urgency of hardcore punk. They quickly distinguished themselves by an almost self-destructive intensity and uncompromising anticapitalist ethic. Inverting Christian iconography to champion the struggle of the individual against a hostile cosmos, they took up the centuries-old banner No Gods, No Masters, extending this project of total defiance into their increasingly tumultuous lives. This apocalyptic orientation in turn informed their music, as they sought to hit upon the magic combination of words, harmonies, and rhythms that could spark a global conflagration. Catharsis broke up in 2002, following relentless touring on three continents and a final catastrophic five months in Europe. After a decade of watching the old records sell for absurd prices while bootleggers profited off substandard editions, we’ve finally taken it upon ourselves to offer a proper collection of their work. “Light from a Dead Star I.,” includes their debut 7”, and “Samsara” LP, packaged in a gatefold cover with oversize booklet offering all the original artwork.
