Vinyl:
Bleakwood/Azoth: Etched Upon Oblivion/Babalon split 7" (includes download card) - Bleakwood's track is the most compositionally ambitious and schizophrenic yet, the Azoth track is the epic highlight of the demo now in glorious analog. Regular edition $10, diehard with poster and patches of each band $15
Bleakwood/Ekadzati: split 7" (includes download card) - Two bands and two labels whose sole purpose is the expression of iconoclastic black art join together in a trans-Pacific partnership to present their latest aural artifact—a split 7” documenting their wanderings in the crepuscular corridors of being. Drawing from Western and Eastern esoteric traditions respectively, Bleakwood and Ekadzati apply the force of sound as a skillful means to guide and challenge the listener into liminal states and dark dreams. Their efforts move in counterpoint, nudging the listener through ravenous motion, crawling melodic stasis, dizzy rhythmic stuttering... Co-released by Milam Records (US) and Tactical Solutions Recordings, the split is presented in a unique wingfold sleeve fastened with an obi strip which comes in one of five colors. All orders include a download code for the digital edition. Taste it here. Limited to 250 copies.
Bleakwood: Blood & Faith 7" (includes download card) - Aggressive, atmospheric and disciplined black metal released by Foul Is Fair (RIP). Fans of Nazxul and latter-day Leviathan would do well to check this out. SOLD OUT!
Famine: self-titled LP (includes download card) - One of the most original and disturbing acts working in the idiom of black metal today. Comparisons with other acts are not easy, but if you're a Portal fan, miss this at your peril. Presented on 200 gram vinyl, in a gatefold, with a poster. SOLD OUT!
Lampades/Bleakwood: split 7" - Issued by Psychedelic Lotus Records (China). The strongest Bleakwood composition yet meets excellent dark, murky Australian DM. Bleakwood cover art by Karlynn Holland. Limited to 333 worldwide, far more limited here. Act fast. $10
CD:
Azoth: self-titled CD demo - The bastard offspring of Beherit, Si Monumentum...-era DsO, and early Nazxul, with a Thelemic theme throughout. A focused, auspicious debut. Vokills have to be heard to be believed! Newly repackaged for Tactical Solutions. Features members of Greed & Rapacity and Ironwood. SOLD OUT!
Ein Skopudhr Galdra: The Wanderer and His Shadow CD - For those who have wondered what the ambient Burzum albums would be like with an order of magnitude more scope, imagination and compositional chops, look no further. $15
Ein Skopudhr Galdra/Mistsorrow split CD - A ritualistic and imaginative cross-pollination of neoclassical, neofolk and dark ambient infused with the icy spirit of black metal. For fans of Aghast, Neptune Towers, etc. Released on Aurora Australis Recordings. $20
Flourishing: A Momentary Sense of the Immediate World mCD - If you haven't heard of NY's Flourishing yet, you'll be hearing plenty soon. Angular, dissonant grind/death with the aggression of hardcore and - somehow - heaps of atmosphere. This is their debut. $10
Flourishing: The Sum of All Fossils CD - A development from the mCD, with longer songs and more post-metal atmosphere but all their aggression and wonkiness intact. Fans of Immolation and Ulcerate should definitely check this out. Brilliant. $15
Futility: The View From Here CD - An outstanding release of Australian doom/death. Rolling low- to mid-pace rhythms pile-drive crushing riffs, overlaid by agonised, extreme and emotive vocals. This release rends hearts and breaks bones. $15
Greed & Rapacity: Ergreifer CD demo - Forward-thinking and savage black metal. A particularly dark and provocative release, lyrically focusing on the malignant and twisted expression of ancient archetypes in the late-modern world. PAY WHAT YOU WANT!
Infinitum: Behold Eradication CD - Debut full-length of technical, brutal US-style death metal featuring members of Psychrist and Dehuman. $15
Infinitum: The Sixth Extinction CD - Second album, displaying unimpeachable musicianship and a refined and subtly melodic approach that will appeal to fans of Myrkskog and Zyklon. $15

Ironwood: Storm Over Sea - An ambitious and outstanding follow-up. Mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö, this is even more varied and extreme than the debut full-length. Fans of latter-day Enslaved definitely should pick this up! Sounds incredible, looks incredible, not to be missed. $20
Mare Cognitum: An Extraconscious Lucidity CD - Top-shelf USBM presented in an edition of 150 hand-numbered copies. Yes, they are CD-Rs, but it's a gorgeously-presented full-length... the packaging reminds me of a Constellation Records release and the music reminds me of an icier Velvet Cacoon or a more aggressive WitTR or a gnarlier Limbonic Art. Have a listen, but don't miss this. OUT OF STOCK, please email to discuss restock
Sword Toward Self: Dissolution Mantras mCD - Progressive and dynamic death metal with black metal influences. For fans of Death, Pestilence and Emperor. Feat. members of Ironwood. $8

The Veil: Nightfall Watching mCD - An intriguing and auspicious debut release. Three (lengthy) tracks of The Veil’s richly and densely layered sound, with composition influenced by early 90s extreme metal as well as 80s post-punk and 70’s-80’s rock and metal. $10
Wretch: The Senseless Violence EP - Grinding yet memorable hacked-off death metal from members of Infinitum and Futility. Reminiscent in places of early Cryptopsy, which is a fix you won't get so much these days. An enjoyably unreconstructed listen. $5
