NOCTURNAL FEAR – “Fog of War + Line of Fire EP” 2xLP is shipping soon, just in time for Christmas!
Detroit, MI 2001 is not the ideal time or place to be for any metal band just starting out. However, NOCTURNAL FEAR was forged and created with the shellshocked memories and influence of the darkest Thrash Metal legends from the 80’s (such as Sodom, Celtic Frost, Kreator) and founders of early 90’s Death Metal (such as Death, Possessed, Pestilence), molded into the perfect killing machine. Although they have been inactive since 2014, Nocturnal Fear have forged a classic and unforgivable assault of pure brutality in their heyday.
Thus, we are pleased to announce this release for the first time ever on 180 gram wax, with the cooperation of Vampiric Bloodlust Records. This is NOCTURNAL FEAR’s second full-length album, “Fog of War”, which has been resurrected from the past and loaded with 10 tracks re-mastered for the vinyl format. It takes aim directly at your turntable.

Accompanying this release is a 10′ at 45 RPM. It features their extremely rare “Line of Fire” EP. There are 3 tracks of Metal-blasting mayhem and prophecies of devastating nuclear war when the Pentagon sounds. “DEFCON 1” has 2 never before released songs exclusive ONLY on this vinyl release, and new artwork!

THEUDHO – “Voorbij de nevelen des tijds” vinyl now on pre-order!

/in /by

Now available for pre-order. Monumental new album from Belgian Pagan Black Metallers THEUDHO out soon on on LP. Reserve your copy today!

The anticipated sixth album from Theudho is here on CD/Tape/Vinyl! Continuing in the tradition set by “De roep van het woud”, which was a huge progression in terms of songwriting.

True pagan black metal seems to be long out of fashion but it was a big part of what Heidens Hart was built upon. Theudho is Belgium’s longest running pagan black metal band alongside Ancient Rites and keeps doing what they do best: blackened pagan metal with top notch songwriting. The tracks are very diverse but always with a focus on strong melodies, with plenty of aggressive, melancholic as well as monumentally epic and bombastic sounds. The sound is completed with well written guitar solos (a rare thing these days!) and atmospheric acoustic guitars. Theudho is easily among the best the country has to offer in the genre.

The fantastic art on front and back are custom paintings by Wesley Dewanckel, entirely made on request and per the vision of the band.

CD was pressed in The Netherlands.
