SARKOM continues to publish all their 7''EP material on Spotify etc. for the first time - and today the last EP in line is available on digital format. "Svøpt i en dynge av dritt" was released last year in a limited edition of 333 copies on white vinyl in a killer gatefold cover. If you still hunt the physical product you can order it here: www.katakomben.no

Also keep in mind we printed some exclusive white "Svøpt...." T-shirts that came out great. EP+SHIRT bundles are still available as long as stock lasts! www.katakomben.no

The "Rock Bottom Manifest" 7''EP has been released on Spotify today (minus the Scorpions cover due to uncertain copyright issues). In other words it's the first time you can listen to the track digitally today!
The 7'' EP is down to it's last 30-40 copies before it will be sold out forever - so if you still want to grab a copy you can do so right here: https://katakomben.no/products/sarkom-rock-bottom-manifest-7ep

"Rock Bottom Manifest" was originally released by Apocalyptic Empire Records last year and limited to only 200 copies. As I usually write songs with lots of lead guitars, I decided to write one without any at all this time. Only adding a couple of solos, the result was a groovy black metal infused rock song and it is out today on all streaming platforms!! As for the B side, this won't be released digitally at this point. However there's still a few physical copies left of the vinyl and you can buy it at Katakomben!

Music and lyrics written by Unsgaard

Line up:
Unsgaard - vocals
Galaaen - guitars
Somby - guitars
Sgt. V. - bass
Renton - drums

Literally just hours before everything shuts down in Norway because of the holidays we finally got the CD-version of Furze (official) new «Black Psych Tormentor» MLP 🔥Included on the CD is the entire previous album «The Presence...» - originally only released on LP so this is the first time this recording is available on CD-format. With both albums on one CD the title would of course have to be «The Presence Of The Black Psych Tormentor»! Head over to our distributor KATAKOMBEN to secure a copy www.katakomben.no

Finally in stock and shipping now! Furze (official) - Black Psych Tormentor 12'' MLP 🔥 The last nail in the coffin of Apocalyptic Empire Records (yes, this will be our last release) is available through our distributor www.katakomben.no in the following versions:
* FURZE edition (50 x on slime green/ purple swirl vinyl)
* KATAKOMBEN edition (50 x on Bronze/ Pink swirl vinyl)
* BLACK vinyl
* CASSETTE (transparent purple or black cassettes)
* CD (soon)

The Furze and Katakomben editions are numbered, signed by Woe J Reaper and comes with a fold-out poster. All exclusive to these versions.

T-shirts and Tanktops are also available.

Finally, for some insane reason or the other the CD-version has been delayed (must be the first time ever we get the vinyl before the CD!) and will most likely not be here for another week.

Please note the swirl-vinyls did not even come close to look the way we intended them to be - but hey, what else is new! If you want those versions, don't wait. Only 50 copies each has been made and they are soon gone.

We regret to have to inform you all that the new Furze (official) MLP "Black Psych Tormentor" is postponed until December 10th.

As most of you are aware of the entire vinyl-industry is in turmoil at the moment with delays upon delays. Insanely enough our problem is not connected with the current worldwide vinyl-delays, but is due to the fact that the stampers our pressplant use is manufactured in the UK and this autumn the UK has had a nation-wide problem with shortage of gas, drivers, delivery of goods and in general a society half way on it's knees. This now also cause problems for our pressplant, and even though we placed our order a long time ago and everything was working smooth this s**t in the UK happened and we are forced to postpone the new FURZE MLP with 4-6 weeks. To ensure we do not have to postpone it all for a second time we set the new releasedate to December 10th.

Since we do not want to publish the CD or cassette before the MLP - everything will be made available on the same date: December 10th. Pre-orders are still valid and up and running through our distributor: www.katakomben.no or directly from FURZE: https://furze.bandcamp.com/

The most reoccuring figure in the Apocalyptic Empire Records' discography must for sure be FURZE! Since the end of the '90ies we have worked with FURZE on numerous releases including the infamous "Trident Autocrat" and "Necromanzee Cogent" LP/CD

We hearby proudly announce the official releasedate of the new FURZE Mlp "Black Psych Tormentor" - to be released by AER on October 22nd. The CD-version will be titled "The Presence Of The Black Psych Tormentor" and will include the 2018 album "The Presence..." that has never previously been released on CD!

Taking the genre further in their own s t r a n g e way as they say, still keeping it oldie; having always had a fancy for the analog recording days. New way of Black Metal which still wears its old rotten clothes (production) you might say! The search for individual ways goes on with confidence!

Different formats, versions and packages available to pre-order now through our distributor KATAKOMBEN at www.katakomben.no
