Mangel: ”Dröge”

neu

Limited edition of 161!

MANGEL are back with their follow-up to the sold-out tape EP "Defizitär" and deliver everything you′ve come to expect – only even faster and more condensed than before, often lingering on the threshold to Fastcore. The female vocals once again follow in the best tradition of classic German punk between political rebellion and depression.
 
 

Zwiespalt: ”Des Nachts”

neu

Limited edition of 50 (handnumbered)

Zwiespalt from Leipzig are back with their new EP. 4 tracks in 16 minutes of what some might call black metal as it was always supposed to be played.
After completing their so-called Treelogy, Zwiespalt set their minds to re(de)fine their sound by taking it to a new level, while losing none of the raw atmosphere and pristine melodics. "Des Nachts" accomplishes just that, insofar as you still get that melancholy Transilvanian Hunger – but now with bass!
 
 

Noia: ”Desolating Blaze” MC

Printed pro-tape + 16-panel folded cover poster, limited to 50 hand-numbered copies!
 
>> "Desolating Blaze" is already the sixth album by the Italian three-piece. Their formerly wild mix of speed metal deeply rooted in d-beat and hardcore punk has boiled down to a typical and unique Noia sound: a fierce old-school thrash beast with a striking black metal backbone and some classic 80s influences.
 
With its pure Norwegian style black metal parts, the record could be considered the darkest and grimmest they ever wrote, but it also shows the band marking some new stylistic territory with slow atmospheric songs. Noia 2022 put an emphasis on finding the sweet spot between brutal and technical to create great individual songs instead of just following the formula of specific genres – all tracks stand on their own and still manage to represent the band’s wide range. The album features a polished but organic analog sound, which gives the music just the right production without sounding deliberately underground-cheap; meaning it′s heavy as hell but doesn′t try too hard to display some trendy idea of ultra-backward black/thrash.

In short: if you’re both into raw old-school black metal and authentic, skilled speed-thrash beyond the played-out retro hype you get to hear every day, Noia’s "Desolating Blaze" has six tailor-made anthems waiting for you! <<
 
 

Fratze: ”Am Anfang war der Irrtum”

The grimace (German: “Fratze") is a distorted form of expression. This distortion always has its origin in the being hidden behind the grimace. In this case, music is acted out as a mode of grimacing – meaning a struggle with, and a distortion of, inner states of mind and thought – whereas every grimace has its own character. Its own element. Its own effect.
Conventional listening habits are consistently ignored, if not deliberately negated, which is reflected both in the partially glaring heterogeneity of the individual tracks and in the general mode of composition, which will rarely satisfy the acquired expectations of customary popular music even of the extreme, uncommercial kind. And this disruption already starts at the choice of tools, insofar as the applied instrumentation not only changes throughout, but appears in unusual combinations to boot.
The resulting songs meander constantly between wavy neofolk and old-school industrial noise, with various influences from progressive avantgarde black metal. But as soon as you get settled in a musical mood, FRATZE surprises time and time again with unexpected accents giving each song an additional unique touch.
 
Golden cassette edition with double-sided 16-panel cover inlay, limited to 50 copies worldwide.
