Hammerheart Records releases Emperor - "As The Shadows Rise" MLP + CD-single on March 3rd 2014, in time for their reunion shows! Originally released as a 7" in 1994 this recording features 3 classic, vintage Emperor tracks, that are similar to their legendary MLP. This time as a mighty 12" with an etching on the side B and the songs as CD in one great package. Limited to 666 copies!

On this same day we will release Hades - "Alone Walkyng" on vinyl format too. This releases features their classic demo from 1993 on side A with side B is etched, limited to 500 copies. The perfect match of Norwerhian Black Metal with a pinch of Bathory, recorded at Grieghallen (Burzum, Emperor, Mayhem)...

20th Adversary of Emptiness contains everything Demilich have ever recorded, starting from Regurgitation of Blood demo (1991) and rounding things off with three songs the band recorded during their brief comeback in 2006. The only Demilich full lenght album Nespithe has been reissued several times over the years in various guises, but always using the inferior 16-bit CD masters and sometimes brickwalled beyond recognition. For this release we dug up the original unmastered 24 bit studio tapes for Nespithe and best possible sources for the demo material, and then had Sami Jämsén of Studio Perkele thoroughly clean everything up and create new masters. This is Demilich as you've never heard it before.

The double CD package features new artwork by original Nespithe cover artist Turkka Rantanen, and the classic cover is included as well. The set comes with a 40 page booklet with lyrics, song commentary, new Demilich-themed art by David Mikkelsen and Johnny Maddox plus a lengthy Q&A session between Olivier 'Zoltar' Badin and Antti Boman.

The box is available in three editions:
1. transparent blood red (150 copies)
2. slimy green (350 copies)
3. black (500 copies)

All boxes feature three LPs, the 1st of which is Nespithe in a separate jacket. Platters 2 and 3 have both the 2006 recordings and all of the group's demos, wrapped in a gatefold jacket. There's also a sticker, poster and a 44 page Demilich 'zine, all housed in a sturdy box set.

Nespithe LP is wrapped in the original Turkka Rantanen cover art, lovingly restored, and a new artwork by Mr Rantanen adorns the box itself. For the demo compilation cover the band commissioned new art from renowned underground artists David Mikkelsen and Johnny Maddox, inspired by Demilich lyricals. Mikkelsen's art also comes as a poster in the package.

The whopping 44 page Demilich 'zine features a long Q&A session between Olivier 'Zoltar' Badin and Antti Boman plus lyrics, song commentary and a plethora of assorted interviews and reviews spanning two decades.

I think the Adramelech reissue has the same content as the 2003 from Blackend, with EPs and stuff.

From that list I'd say you're missing the Century Media reissues, namely Thanatos' last couple of albums and Dawn's entire discography.

Century Media Records has signed a worldwide deal to license the entire discography of Sweden's DAWN! Formed in 1990, DAWN quickly evolved from the pure death metal found on their first demos into a more complex, melodic, epic and atmospheric style that culminated in the masterpiece, Slaughtersun - Crown Of The Triarchy (1998). Along with DISSECTION, UNANIMATED and EUCHARIST, DAWN is considered to be one of the most underrated acts that merged death and black metal during the mid 90's.

In the first half of 2014, the band's catalog will finally be made available again on CD and--for the first time ever--on vinyl. Carefully re-mastered by Dan Swanö, these re-issues feature re-worked artwork and more (all done in full cooperation with the band). The planned DAWN releases are:
--Demos 1991-1993 (title TBA) on CD/LP
--Nær Sólen Gar Niþer For Evogher (originally released in 1994) on CD/LP
--Sorgh På Svarte Vingar Fløgh (originally released in 1996) on MCD/MLP
--Slaughtersun - Crown Of The Triarchy (originally released in 1998) on CD/2LP

Century Media is proud to announce the license of the entire catalogue of France's biggest death metal band ever: MASSACRA!

"After so many years, we finally agreed to re-release our old material, our first demos and our albums including some bonus and exclusive stuff. To be honest, going revival is not our cup of tea at all but we must admit that the Century Media team has been so persistent and convinced us to release something official, of high quality, enhanced by some old stuff, original and personal..."
Jean-Marc Tristani, August 2013

The first of various MASSACRA releases will be the demo compilation "Day Of The Massacra", which includes all tracks of the three legendary demos "Legion Of Torture", "Final Holocaust" and "Nearer From Death". All tracks have been remastered at DMS by Ulf Horbelt who is well known for his outstanding remastering skills (Morbid, Asphyx, Grave, Necropsy and many more). Nathaniel Colas did a great in-depth interview with original MASSACRA guitarist Jean-Marc Tristani and Thomas Westphal of the infamous Necromaniac Zine (Germany) will create a killer artwork for the release. "Day Of The Massacra" will be released as standard CD Jewelcase (on midprice!) and standard LP (with 180g vinyl and inlay). The release date has been set to November 4th.

From 2013 onwards, the long sold out albums "Final Holocaust", "Enjoy The Violence", "Signs Of The Decline", "Sick" and "Humanize Human" will be made available step by step. All five albums will get the same treatment as the aforementioned demo compilation: Remastered sound, bonus material, unreleased and exclusive songs, liner notes, reworked layouts, high quality cover artworks (no cheap and blurry scans), rare photos and whatever else there is a fan of real death metal could ask for.

NOTE:
These reissues are the only versions done with full support of the band and will be the definite editions of such death metal classics so don't spend a buck on bootlegs that suck!

Pagan Altar's Judgement of the Dead is supposed to get a re-issue.

Happy 20th birthday, SKYDANCER!

Time flies! On August 30, 1993, our weird and wonderful debut album “Skydancer” was released. The album has been out of print and hard to obtain for a while, but to celebrate the anniversary there will be new CD, LP and digital releases with remastered sound.

More details will be announced shortly, but for now we recommend everyone to head over to our official Bandcamp page where the remastered 2013 edition of the album can be streamed or purchased at a fan-friendly price.

Here’s to the next 20 years!

Didn't it just get reissued in 2012 on CD and vinyl?

Has Dark Descent mentioned any plans for 2014? Seems they're always working on something.

Morpheus/Morpheus Descends anthology

Morta Skuld 'Dying remains' anyone???

It remains OOP for a long time, fuck!

Morgue (US) compilation (Eroded Thoughts and demos) around spring time and Morpheus/Morpheus Descends anthology.

We are also doing Goreaphobia's Vile Beast comp on vinyl. This is with much improved sound and art.

Can you spill out any details on this one?

I already pre-ordered that Demilich one, can't wait.

Peaceville put it out in October. Or is that what you were saying? Verb tense is throwing me off.

Christ that Demilich remaster sounds perfect.

Yep. Just pre-ordered my own copy. I really had to think hard about whether I wanted the slimy green version or the digipak. Went with the CD, can't wait!

Holy crap, 17€?! At least it already includes shipping, right?

Nope! It would cost me about $30 USD to get R.I.P. Think I'll pass.
