Now onto their fourth full length album entitled “Satanic Surgery”, the Dutch grindcore/thrash metal outfit Collision brings you again a dirty alcohol fueled aggression thrill ride right from the very bowels of the abyss! Fast, frantic and short songs that pummel and punish are repeatedly battered out into your ears at an unrelenting rate of knots, caring little for your sanity as they rip your senses a new one! Possibly more intense and guaranteed to mosh up any metal, grindcore, and hardcore-punk crowd Collision now step up and kick your ass!

Surprisingly catchy for such a high octane and ballistic album, Collision bounce from one head banging hair twirling moment to the next with a sense of pure destruction at the core of every song! If you want an album to cause maximum damage whilst battering it’s way though thirteen adrenaline fueled vitriolic time bombs, Collision has the answer!

The artwork is again done by Luis Sendon (Obscene Extreme, Macabre, Brutal Truth, Paul Di’Anno, Nashgul)!

Black Metal the way it was meant to be played, raw, aggressive, cold  and with underground attitude!
Grim & cold Black Metal from Dutch soil!

As a small country, the Dutch are far from doing bad when it comes to their contribution to the black metal scene, on the contrary and Tarnkappe proved this in 2014 with “Tussen Hun en de Zon”, a largely left unnoticed record of great magnitude, shame on you all! As a project of two members of bands such as Kjeld, Salacious Gods, Lugubre these guys are deeply rooted in the underground.

‘Winterwaker’ (meaning “Guardian of Winter” in English) by Tarnkappe is the follow-up that proves this quality-approach in full. In this case you will be caught by surprise totally, since this is a classic Black Metal album that needs to be heard. We would dare say this the traditional 90’s Black Metal record we all have been waiting for, records like this are not made anymore...

If you enjoy your Black Metal with an organic, natural sound, Tarnkappe will be on your to get. We would say that Tarnkappe revives the old 90’s Scandinavian spirit in full, but this would not justify what this band has achieved here. They are original enough to have their own sound. Great songs, razorsharp guitar riffs, insane vocals and a topnotch production is what you get. A hypnotizing, gloomy setting that makes this release sound ritualistic and captivating. All delivered in an ice-cold artwork.

If you like it cold, grim and traditional, and still feel melancholic on the early 90’s scene, then you need Tarnkappe!

Dreaming Dead - Buried

An all out 21st century death metal attack!

Brutal Unrest was founded in 2002 in Germany with the simple intention to play death metal. It took Brutal Unrest several years to do their debut demo and a couple of albums down the line. With each release and more attention in the media Brutal Unrest reached a bigger audience gradually. With replacements in the line-up (adding experienced people who earned their respect in bands as Prostitute Disfigurement, Suidakra, Resurrected) the music became faster and more diversified through the years.

So Brutal Unrest recorded their so-far latest album “Nemesis” in 2012 which got mixed and mastered at Soundlodge Studio by Jörg Uken. “Nemesis” was released in October 2012 and got rewarded with fantastic reactions in media and an even bigger growing fanscene. Since then Brutal Unrest has shared the stages together with Bands like Vomitory, Aborted, Fleshcrawl, Cliteater, Vile, Putrid Pile, Defeated Sanity, Cryptopsy and many more. 

In 2016 Brutal Unrest hit the Soundlodge Studio again to record their new album entitled “Trinitas”. With this record Brutal Unrest received a great response from Hammerheart Records so an agreement for a Februar 2017 release was reached. Brutal Unrest enriched its brutal sound with a more atmospheric approach of death metal, while the brutality and intensity is still present.

“Trinitas” simply said is a killer death metal album that sounds top notch, with killer songs, an all out great performance by a band that knows how to create memorable songs that make you want to push the repeat button.

Brutal Unrest - Systematic Torture

Dreaming Dead is Los Angeles’ answer to underground mediocrity and mainstream banality. Formed in 2006 by frontwoman Elizabeth Schall and drummer Mike Caffell, Dreaming Dead continues to capture the attention of audiences and listeners across the globe. 

Whether through pummeling fans as a live act, or releasing fist-pumping albums, Dreaming Dead is consistently in the business of turning heads. With two previously released full-length albums under their belt - “Within One” and “Midnightmares” - Dreaming Dead currently prepares to release their 3rd full-length album titled “Funeral Twilight”. 

The band lineup continues with the usual suspects Elizabeth Schall (also active in Cretin), Mike Caffell (also active in Terrorizer LA), Chris McCarthy (also active in Murder Construct) and William Toledo.

Mourners Lament was formed in 2004, in Valparaiso Chile, influenced by and dedicated to the raw and melancholic sound of the English Doom Death Metal scene of the early 90’s., inspired by the Holy Trinity consisting of Anathema, Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride.

After many line-up changes and the usual demo recordings Mourners Lament recorded their debut EP named “Unbroken Solemnity” in 2008. Good things progress slowly, surely when it comes to Doom/Death so Mourners Lament finally went back to the studio to record their first full length album called “We All be given” in 2016. 

They recorded six tracks full of melancholy and an intensity not heard too often any more, a very Heavy, powerfull recording that is blessed with a great production and atmosphere.

We All Be Given

Mourners Lament - We All Be Given

When melacholy and sadness drown your sould and there is no salvation.

The new album from Rotterdam, the Netherlands based sons of Doom/Death Officium Triste is nothing short of a soon to be classic in the genre, competing easily with the classics the Dutch Doom/Death scene released in it’s impressive history!

This is the album we all have been waiting for, the one we always knew Officium Triste would come up with some day and that time is right now.

This is one hell of a truly consistent album that from start to finish convinces and drowns you in a lake of sadness and desperation, with a small movement in the direction of a bit more gloomy, gothic feel compared to their earlier releases. And it is extremely competent and well crafted, we would dare say it is the highest level within their genre, right up there with their inspirations such as My Dying Bride, Katatonia and Anathema!

Strong melody after melody, well-arranged songs, catchy without commercial overkill, all killer no filler... a flood of quality, a wave of real Metal. The production is so crispy, yet heavy and could not have been better...crank this one up and feel the thunder roar and let yourself drift away.
We had to release this album, in this age of mediocre, wanna be sad albums... this is the real deal. Hammerheart Records will not follow trends, we will only do what we do best, bring you exceptional releases.

Performed and made by veterans of the scene, not cheaply imitating, but crafting a devastating masterpiece, that will make you look for the razorblade to end it all.

After 20 years Officium Triste made their classic, the album that sets new standards for things to come.
