OGRE - “The Last Neanderthal” LP and 7” single set £15
After a lengthy bout of planning, Ogre makes their vinyl debut twice! With the audio now
remastered and the artwork revamped for the 12” format, their fourth album of instantly
recognisable Doom infected ‘70s Hard Rock is now available in its analogue glory. As the
studio album was too long for a single vinyl without skimping on sound quality, it made
sense to house the band’s lively rendition of “Soulless Woman” by the ‘70s Ogre on a
bonus single. On the reverse, the band opted to pay homage to The Bags with their
exclusive take on “Naked Lady” which was a favourite of theirs back in the early ‘90s.
We also have limited copies of “The Last Neanderthal”” on CD for £10

ABYSMAL GRIEF / RUNES ORDER - "split 12" £9
The Abysmal Grief, historical lords of Italian Dark Sound, propose a Horror/Dark Ambient
track conceived as a hymn to the afterlife and to the tragic fate that our frail, short lives
share.
Death is a lady and noble Queen. She is the destiny of every man.
The Italian master of experimental music, Claudio Dondo, proposes with his Runes Order
a Horror/Dark Ambient song with a gothic decadent atmosphere. The track is a macabre
hymn to pleasure and blasphemy portraying the profanation of the sacred through
SNUFF rituals of which the artist is a follower and faithful admirer. Alex De Siena, who
was his partner in the Star Matter project, is both the singer and the priestess
performing the rite.
ART OF BURNING WATER - “Living is for Giving, Dying is for Getting” LP £10
Art Of Burning Water refuse to die despite being one of the most frowned upon bunch of
noise making twats of the past 10 years. There is no machine behind this band and the
UK 'underground' rock circle jerk has never approved them or championed them and they
do not have friends in high places but DO have high friends. You won't be told to check
them out and they will not be seen high fiving the correct people in the correct places in
order to further their way up festival bills with the correct bands. Art Of Burning Water are
outsiders in the truest sense of the word AND VERY PROUD TO STAND OUTSIDE THE
GOLDEN CIRCLE OF YOUR LOVE. Art Of Burning Water are a steroided immigrant noise
punk outfit that does not need to be loved to live. Art Of Burning Water love what they do
and therefore need not be loved for what they do. This is strong music by weak people.
For fans of: Keelhaul, Rorschach, Voivod, Amebix, Godflesh and Motorhead
BURNING SAVIOURS - “Broken Om Forbannelsen’’ CD £8
Named after the Pentagram song from the ‘’Day of Reckoning’’ album gives you a clue of
how the doom part of the bands music sounds. The band mixes the early giants of the
rock and metal genres including early Sabbath, Zeppelin and Hendrix. Being a compilation
of four 7’’ singles this could be a good introduction with the sound quality throughout
consistent and simply rocking in the old fashioned way. Some tracks are in Swedish but
most are in English like their previous three albums.
CIRCLE - Golem / Vesilirto DCD £9
Circle boldly unroll their experimental rock balancing on the edge of everything imaginable.
The combination of the crunch of tectonic plates with insane epic improvisations and
exhausting repetitiveness on the live album Golem poses questions the listener alone can
answer and be impressed of. Mika Rättö squels like he'd gone mad while the deranged
band grinds itself up from the depths. The studio album Vesiliirto seems to strangely drag
forward in a sped up universe, where uppers are downers and the dragging are humming
bird's wing beats. The album presents remarkable moments for receptive ears from one
of Circle's most prolific era. Golem/Vesiliirto was first released by Kevyt Nostalgia and
Supermetsä as a double vinyl in 2004. The live part was recorded in Semifinal (Helsinki)
November 2, 2003. The album contains over 35 minutes of bonus material!
CIRCLE - “Meronia” CD £8
*Meronia*, Circle's long out-of-print debut album (originally released by Bad Vugum in
1994) has now been re-released by Ektro Records. This new release features updated
album artwork and has been digitally remastered as well. Meronia's 70+ minutes of
simultaneously mesmerizing and crushing songs laid the foundations for future Circle
albums to come. Although various incarnations of the band have since created over 20 full
length releases, the fundamental things at the heart of Circle were already present on this
first album.

CIRCLE - “Zopalki” DLP £15
Re-released and remastered, the legendary second album from 1996 captures Circle
roaming the deep waters of monotonic ritual and manic psychedelia. The album marked
the end of an era culminating their epic occult rock and roll. Zopalki offers a penetrating
glimpse into a time forever lost, but whose presence can still be perceived.
LORD FIST - “Green Eyleen” LP £13
”Through time and space, conscious and subconscious, there flows a secret stream. The
metaphysical river of steel, timelesness and mysticism. The stream of Heavy.”
Inside this record, there is preserved a journey. An epic journey on this everflowing stream
of Heavy Metal. The soul of this music is like a hidden valley in the flames of war. True,
hidden and timeless, now finally grown ready to rise to glory. There are riffs, towering
beyond the highest northern peaks, making the world tremble and crack, revealing the
core essence of Heavy. It provides a path and a vision not faltering to fillers or mediocrity.
This is the champion, the standard-bearer in these weary times. The New Wave of Great
Heavy Metal.
OCEAN CHIEF - “Universums Hard’’ LP £13
Fifth and latest album from Swedish sludge merchants Oceans Chief. They sound like a
mix of YOB and Bongripper with a strange synth and keyboards parts to put across their
cosmic artwork. Slow and heavy interspersed with instrumentals to give plenty of variety
and creativity.
OGRE - “Dawn of the Proto-Man” Re-issue CD £10
The debut album from power trio Ogre marked a hard rocking start for this ‘70s influenced
band. Straight forward and traditional in approach, toes will tap and heads will bang! Now
long overdue a re-issue, this definitive edition comes in a Japanese mini-gatefold sleeve
with OBI, bonus tracks and expanded artwork. A solid buy according to our biased
opinion...
OGRE – “Seven Hells” Re-issue CD+DVD £11
The second album has been expanded further again. Not only does the band go in a
doomier direction, the DVD includes 2 live shows of this cracking band with plenty of flair
and some outstanding drumming. Presented in another Japanese mini-gatefold sleeve with
OBI, what’s not to like?
+++++++We can do the above 2 for £20+++++IF YOU’RE QUICK++++++++
We also have limited copies of “The Last Neanderthal”” on CD for £10
PHARAOH OVERLORD - “Horn” CD £8
Horn is a departure from the Lord's trademark motorik doom-kraut style. This is nasty,
noisy full-on art rock from the outer reaches of space, like early Sonic Youth tearing it up
with Crazy Cavan & the Rhythm Rockers. The album includes four previously unheard
Pharaoh Overlord compositions and a Spacemen 3 cover. Recorded live in Lahti, Finland
2011.
REALMBUILDER “Summon the Stone Throwers’’ CD £8
Debut album from epic metal duo in the tradition of Manilla Road and Atlantean Kodex.
Colourful drum flourishes add to the bands overall raw take on the genre. Rough and ready
in places with room to grow, but worth a go if you like the aforementioned bands and like
an album with rustic charm aplenty.
THE DISEASE CONCEPT – “Your Destroyer” LP (Limited Blue Splattered Wax)
£13
Forget the horror film fascination integral to the Hellhound albums that Blood Farmers are
famed for. This is a much more ugly and nasty down to earth affair. “Living At Home and
Yoshiwara 三つ
Hiding from the Government” and “High on Amphetamines and Love (But Mostly
Amphetamines)” paints that bleak picture. Frantic. Dark. Disturbing. This is real life
channelled through sludgy riffs, dual guitar harmonies, wailing solos and tortured vocals
all of which are somehow still underlined with Sabbath sensibilities.
The Winding Sheet magazine #1 - £5
The Winding Sheet magazine is the brainchild of AC from Malthusian and has finally been
published. The first print run is published by and available now from Invictus Productions
and features in depth interviews with:
Funereal Presence/Terminus/Dead Congregation/Howls of Ebb/Dread Sovereign/In
Solitude/Corr Mhóna/Krypts/Lynched
The magazine is pro-printed in A5 size with 100 pages.
ZAUM - “Oracles’’ LP £13
The band describe themselves as Middle Eastern Mantra Doom, of which the vocals are
presented in a mantra / chant style which works well over the multi layered progressive
doom backdrop. The sound is slow and epic like the ships of the desert depicted on the LP
artwork! Last track “Omen” is worth the entry price alone if you like bands like The
Wounded Kings and OM.
