Welcome to the End

Cyst

At long last, Norwegian black metal vanguard TORTORUM return with Rotten. Dead. Forgotten. It's been two years since the release of the band's critically acclaimed second album, Katabasis, and in that time, ubiquitous drummer Dirge Rep has amicably departed TORTORUM's ranks. Bloodied but unbowed, the trio saw fit to record an all-new mini-album, bearing the ominous title Rotten. Dead. Forgotten. This title is prescient, and wholly descriptive of the six-track record's contents. Moving at a slower, more methodical pace, Rotten. Dead. Forgotten. stomps forward with a hideous energy that literally feels DEAD. Like a reanimated corpse or malignant specter, the TORTORUM of Rotten. Dead. Forgotten. has turned a new and no-less-harrowing page here, largely leaving behind the orthodox speed of their massive first two albums and striking upon largely unexplored terrain where space and shade are blackened to a crisp and are patiently pushed forward with a palatable sense of maturity. Then again, the fire of old does occasionally ignite across the mini-album's six, comparably more stretched-out tracks, suggesting that the future is wide open for this equally surprising/dependable band. And like always, TORTORUM are no strangers to the stage, and will soon be defiling them across Europe with a sound that's truly Rotten. Dead. Forgotten.

INCARCERATION is surely one of the most intense Death Metal acts worldwide. Did you ever see a Incarceration live ritual on stage ? You should, it's insane, it's fast, bloody and straight forward Death Metal deeper than to the bone. You can feel their power and passion the whole set long.
Now the time has come to unleash this beast on CD, Vinyl and Download. The beast contains 10 brandnew songs and called „CATHARSIS“. You can expect brutal, fast, catchy, intense and insane Death Metal. Incarceration built their own style of Death Metal.

The band about 'Catharsis':
„It feels like we synthesized in half an hour the suffering and pain of a whole life. The songwriting lasted six years, and there you have a 'best of' of our most killer riffs and our most extreme feelings unleashed through pure death metallic spiritual regurgitation. The goal was to wash our souls and our past through extreme art, extreme music. That’s what we mean with ‘Catharsis’ - you’ll understand when you listen to it. This release is dedicated to you Diehards into the fastest and most frenetic riffs of earlier Slayer, Sepultura, Repugnant, Repulsion, Excoriate, Dark Angel and so on (you know what I mean). For those who already saw us live, know our EP Sacrifice or at least have heard songs like Forsaken and Forgotten you know what to expect: nothing less than an overdose of pure merciless killer death metal devastation, pushed to level 666! Chaos!!!!!“

INCARCERATION - Obsessed By Death

W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS & DARK ADVERSARY PRODUCTIONS are proud to present the long-awaited third album of long-running black metal cult CRIMSON MOON, Oneironaut. CRIMSON MOON was established in 1994 by Scorpios Androctonus - known also for his work with Acherontas, Zemial, Demoncy, Melechesh, and Akrabu among others - as a solo project in the U.S. and relocated to Germany in 1998.

After working with different members throughout the years, 2016 reveals the long-awaited third full-length release titled Oneironaut. Four years in the making, this album has returned to the roots of the lineup and was written, performed, and recorded once again entirely by Scorpios Androctonus with additional guest appearances by members of Acherontas, Demoncy, and Ralph Santolla (ex-Deicide, Death, Obituary) on select tracks.

The aura of Oneironaut is a familiar one to previous CRIMSON MOON releases in the spirit and atmosphere, both musically and lyrically. A definite progression is also introduced in song structure and strategic use of additional instruments, including exotic instruments such as the Esraj, Frame Drums, Tanpura, Cretan Lyra, fretless acoustic bass, and innovative uses of acoustic guitars among other stringed instruments and percussion. The music of Oneironaut executes a blend of mystical, dream-like atmospheres which morph from violent and aggressive black metal synonymous with the occult atmosphere. Lyrically, the topics vary from traditional Necronomicon-inspired myths, Sumerian lore, astral projection, and lucid dreaming to content that covers homage to the old goddesses of worship, survival of the fittest/breaking the myths of equality, and spiritual transcendence.

As of 2016, CRIMSON MOON has established a new and potent full lineup which will debut its first live appearance in October of 2016, which will be the first live performance from CRIMSON MOON in nearly a decade, and the first time to perform live on European soil. More select live shows will follow and are being booked for the remainder of the year and 2017.

The new CRIMSON MOON new lineup consists of:
Scorpios Androctonus - bass and vocals
Sabnoc - guitars and backing vocals
Vual - drums and percussion
Agreas - guitars

With the new lineup, work is currently being put into new material for an upcoming split release that will be announced by the end of 2016, which will forebode much more to come in 2017.

Naddred present as a brand new force in a burgeoning Irish underground that Invictus Productions is very pleased to be working with on the debut release. Formed in 2016 with members of notable Irish acts Slidhr and Eternal Helcaraxe along with former Sol Axis members, Naddred crafts a twisted blend of black/death metal that stands a testament to the darkest recesses of the Irish mind when it comes to creating a foreboding, forbidding and ghastly work of art.
