WAR-vnyl 001
TSALAL - Descent into a Corpse, Ascent to Sacrifice
45rpm 10” record

The unnecessarily high quality stickers are in- packing all orders ASAP. It would be sharp if you could get your order in by Monday morning at latest, as the new courier drop off is a lot further distance, so I will only be going once a week.

On the plus side though, almost all INTERNATIONAL ORDERS NOW AUTOMATICALLY COME TRACKED. And things can stay consistent , as Canada Post keeps striking on and off.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

Last week, on the 25th of June, was 1 year since Virrughus Apocali , Fernando Barg, died. Goatpen*s will always be True War Metal- and they actually described themselves as war metal. And thematically they are , through and through. (Aside from demos) . It seems there are people now who like to throw the term war metal around, when the bands don’t even consider themselves as such. But regardless, Goatpen*s is the supreme war metal band.

I know I was a lot more outspoken about Sabbaoth’s death in 2021, maybe because he was a bassist and front person like me too, so I tended to connect to him more. His death shook me. And because I felt inspired for the first time to do a cover as tribute, and it sort of snowballed into a whole release when KS wanted to cover a different one, which lead to both bands covering and me asking others. I was also somewhat more active on here then, too. Last year was just f**ked. Anyway, it does not at all mean that Fernando’s death wasn’t impactful to me, and that he isn’t considered with the reverence he deserves.

His contribution to extreme metal is powerful. Goatpen*s is brilliant. Virrughus Apocali will forever be alive in his riffs and compositions. They do not spoil with time. To be able to sound that extreme and still that catchy is really something else, hah. One of the top extreme bands of all time.

Hail Virrughus Apocali, rest in power.

WAR-vllm 102

Prison Hell - Incendiary Recoiling

Right off the hop with the first track, Proud Machines, the riffs get tunneled into your head. This, to me, is the most concise Prison Hell album yet. Full, impactful and with the inclusion of the most Brulvahnutian riffs on any Prison Hell release to date, Incendiary Recoiling transgresses with its heavy metal pedal laden tones and bulldozes itself. Very cohesive, yet with variation in feel and masterfully executed solos.. the one on track 6, Bones, is a sparking insight.

WAR-vllm 101

Warslaughter - Exacerbación

Hailing from Spain, Warslaughter return with an EP containing more of their original, disgusting and impressive sound. A hypnotic array of disharmonic riffs is bolstered by relentless pummelling, volcanic vomits and intertwining sickly leads. A cacophonic disaster with an uncompromising adherence to dissonance.
