Founded in 2022 between G.P and N.H from New Zealand — with P.F from Canada on session drums, Aberrator pull no punches, unleashing Beckoning Tribulation, a devastating full-length, straight out of the gate. Influenced by the darkest of death metal and death\/doom — particularly of US and Finnish origins — the band fit the Dark Descent roster like a key to a crypt.\n“Beckoning Tribulation is a lens into the human condition, the inevitable decline due to the innate zealotry and hypocrisy within our species,” states N.H. “The triumphant proclamation of the death of god and the impending doom of mankind as it struggles within the vacuum this creates.”\nThe album comes clad in a masterful gravure\/woodcut-style piece from the inimitable mind of Alex Shadrin from Nether Temple Design: “The artwork represents the above concepts. Betrayal hidden with the guise of civility; blades plunged into another's backs to complete the ouroboros.

While one could reasonably expect what sound might result from such a conglomeration, the power-trio's first public recording, 2021's After Winter Comes War EP, aimed for an olde-world Metal of Death that abounded with a refreshing sense of the \"new.\" Now, ABHORRATION are prepared to go deeper into the olde vs. \"new\" with their first full-length.\nSimply and elegantly titled Demonolatry, ABHORRATION's debut album immediately sets forth the same foundation as its short-length predecessor, invoking and rearranging trace elements of classic Sadistic Intent, Morbid Angel, Possessed, and early Vader into something uniquely labyrinthine. But the execution here is impossibly sharper and, frankly, blanching: you literally FEEL each note and drum hit as the quartet bleed for the Devil before their own altars of madness. That the production's suitably rough 'n' raw but clear(ly analog) ably benefits the band's bursting-at-the-seams attack, which also sees an infusion of Vomitor-esque solo-squall. If one difference is to be made to After Winter Comes War, save for the slow-burn stomp of \"The Grace of Immolation,\" it's that Demonolatry excises anything haunting in favor of an equally epic but far-more-coiling style of songwriting that's always moving, moving, MOVING. The wicked angularity of prime Axis of Advance is still in there, but ABHORRATION leave no breath for pause; an inexorable descent into oblivion is sought, and achieved - quickly.

Joining Thorn on Blessed Be the Relic of Wicked Slumber: Nightmarecatcher is ex-Anorexia Nervosa vocalist Stéphane Gerbaud. As such, this is to be considered the official lineup of the true ÆVANGELIST.\nEver restless, Blessed Be the Relic of Wicked Slumber: Nightmarecatcher sees Matron Thorn exploring an exquisitely lurking dread, patiently simmering his psychedelic death metal delirium to a hallucinogenic boil, bringing forth a miasmic meltdown. Daunting and daring to say the very least, Nightmarecatcher is one epic 53-minute composition comprising three equally epic chapters, all threaded together with unsettling ease. Also uniquely, the album is ÆVANGELIST's first proper live studio recording, created entirely in the recording space of Oranssi Pazuzu and drums recorded in the recording space of Barathrum \u0026amp; Sielunvihollinen. Not for nothing is the album graced with malevolent \u0026amp; mesmerizing artwork courtesy of the masterful Jef Whitehead.\nForm meeting content, then, Blessed Be the Relic of Wicked Slumber: Nightmarecatcher is the sound ÆVANGELIST at is most naked. No less dense and multi-layered than Matron Thorn's vast body of work under this moniker, the shimmeringNightmarecatcher stretches ÆVANGELIST to a skeletal breaking point, a gross 'n' garish carcass on which Thorn dangles flickering afterimages of disconnection. Exposed and rotten yet no less resilient, this sonic iteration of ÆVANGELIST retains Thorn's characteristically nightmarish alchemy, but disposes of obfuscation and obtuseness; after recent muddling events, only a clearly aimed fist of hazy horror accomplishes the directive. Rising to the challenge, Gerbaud's truly disturbing vocals ritualistically recite a litany of horrors both tangible and otherworldly, leading the listener into the craggiest catacombs of the self.\nAtmosphere reigns supreme, as it always has in ÆVANGELIST, and comprehension of its infinitely writhing tendrils begins in the title itself. Blessed Be the Relic of Wicked Slumber: Nightmarecatcher is the grand rebirth of the true ÆVANGELIST - past, present, future, all ripped asunder and reinvigorated in search of The Truth. ","brand":"Aevangelist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087572517109,"sku":"HELLS272","price":14.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_afa2aa74-7478-4131-83e3-7716bd55ffec.jpg?v=1759458286"},{"product_id":"agathocles-g-o-d-s-t-split-cd-rare-used-vg","title":"Agathocles \/ G.O.D. – S\/T Split CD (Rare \/ Used, VG+)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMincecore \/ goregrind split from Agathocles and Grotesque Organ Defilement (G.O.D.).

We include plenty of deliberate references, but we're also trying to develop our sound and continue the exploration of vast and desolate otherworlds.”\nFeaturing members of such long-running U.K. acts as Of Spire \u0026amp; Throne, Haar, Úir, Scordatura, and Abyssal, the band has several combined decades of desecration under their belts.\nWrapped in one of the most stunning and sinister Paolo Girardi artworks in recent memory, Corrupting the Entempled Plane is not to be missed. ","brand":"Ageless Summoning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087573205237,"sku":"DDR277CD","price":24.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_42181f1c-a545-49fd-b481-b5e32245a4ba.jpg?v=1759458292"},{"product_id":"agents-of-abhorrence-relief-cd","title":"Agents of Abhorrence – Relief CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew old stock, ex-distro warehouse find!\u003cbr\u003e\nClassic piece of Australian grindcore history. 2nd full-length album from Melbourne grind merchants Agents of Abhorrence, featuring an all star line-up including members of Internal Rot, Faceless Burial, Kilat, My Disco, Roskopp, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Agents of Abhorrence","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087573860597,"sku":"BAF018","price":14.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_e00968cb-2486-4fb7-bfcb-5eddf6456dfa.jpg?v=1759458293"},{"product_id":"agriculture-the-spiritual-sound-cd","title":"Agriculture – The Spiritual Sound CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere’s a kind of quiet violence in how music is consumed today—flattened into background noise, sonic perfume fed into algorithms, sold as lifestyle. It’s entertainment as anesthesia. Sound without the weight. The Spiritual Sound, the new full-length from Los Angeles–based band Agriculture, stands as a pointed refusal of this condition.

Leah’s songs move differently: grounded in queer history and AIDS-era literature, amid the suffocating fog of the present, they carry the weight of survival as daily ritual. Her writing asks how to honor queer community and collective struggle without turning it into identity branding or personal mythmaking: how to stay honest, how to stay present. Though distinct, their voices converge in a singular spiritual grammar—one that defines the totality of The Spiritual\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSound, not as separate parts, but as one unified expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture’s formation mirrors this duality. What began as a loose collaboration between Kern Haug and Dan Meyer in the Los Angeles noise scene evolved into a shared pursuit of the sublime through heavy music. With the additions of Richard Chowenhill and Leah Levinson, the project solidified into the band’s current form. The ecstatic black metal foundation was laid on 2022’s The Circle Chant, expanded into something more precise and far-reaching on their 2023 self-titled full-length, and deepened further with 2024’s Living Is Easy: a record that embraced devotional intensity and radiant heaviness in equal measure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture’s writing process is built on dismantling and revision of self. Dan and Leah bring songs to the band and then allow them to be pulled apart and rebuilt communally: reshaped through conflict, repetition, and deep trust. Richard adds guitar melodies and solos, and Kern constructs rhythms which are sometimes familiar but often unconventional. Finally, with Richard producing, the final form of each song is realized through intense collaborative work in the studio. Although a time consuming and ego-frustrating process, this allows the band to find the spirit of the songs not through inspiration, but through persistence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, even in its most ambitious moments, The Spiritual Sound remains rooted in the ordinary and in the day-to-day relationships between the people who made it. Gas station snacks. Inside jokes. Sleeping on floors. Playing shows in rooms that smell like mildew. The spirit here isn’t abstract, it's live. This is spiritual music that starts with imperfect gear and a long-in-the-tooth tour van.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture doesn’t offer salvation. The Spiritual Sound isn’t a map out of the fire. What it offers instead is presence: a confrontation with the moment, however unbearable, however divine. It insists that meaning is still possible, even in a world hell-bent on reducing everything to content, and where suffering itself can be conducive to recovery. As the Buddhist saying goes “the only way out is in.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the founder of Chinese Zen, Bodhidharma, was asked by the emperor of China “What is the true meaning of the holy truth?” He replied, “Vast emptiness.

Stepping outside the run of albums titled Mass I-VI, De Doorn casts a 21-year journey from the heart of Belgium’s crusading hardcore scene to world-renowned, spiritually guided innovators in an enthralling new light.\u003cbr\u003e\nRitual, remembrance and hard-won rebirth have always been at the heart of Amenra’s colossal, soul-purging approach. Centered around frontman Colin H. Van Eeckhout, but marked out by a transcendent unity of purpose, their albums have acted as totemic, personal marker points, a means to process individual grief as a shared, cathartic experience. Their live shows are acts of incendiary, communal exorcism that reach a cusp of sublime, out-of-body experience. A closely knit collective, they transport you to a febrile state where confrontation of pain, transformation and true healing can occur.\u003cbr\u003e\nAmenra have always been profoundly bound to their hometowns around Flanders, the weight of that area’s war-torn history. The sacrifice and sense of a larger purpose that bridges the fragility of humanity and the pull of an immaculate ideal is carried as an ever-present resonance. No more is this apparent than in the spectacular, commemorative events the band have performed in recent years – to mark ending of the First World War; the band’s 20th anniversary; and the departure of long-time band member Levy Seynaeve. At the SMAK Museum Of Contemporary Art in Ghent’s 19th-century, monument-strewn Citadelpark in May 2019, they offered a communal recognition of loss and letting go. Here, audience members were invited to make their own offerings, placing personal notes of acknowledgment in wooden structures created by Indonesian artist Toni Kanwa Adikusumah, before they were brought out into the park and set alight as an act of recognition and release – a forging of hope from the flames.\u003cbr\u003e\nWritten for the purpose of that rite, De Doorn (‘The Thorn’) occupies a place between Amenra’s recorded and live work, less a testimony to the band’s individual bereavements, more an invitation for others to come forward, and to pass through darkness into light. Where the Mass albums have taken the form of solitary struggles whose fearless honesty has aligned itself to the most intrinsically human of chords, the dynamics of De Doorn are as stricken by destiny as ever, but sonically looser. Guided to a lesser extent by the band’s characteristically immense, behind-the-beat traction, it’s more lush, immersive, steeped in sonorous, cathedral-echo ambiences amplified to the point of static-infected instability and carrying passages of deeply intimate spoken-word that feel like being drawn in to the most hallowed of confidences. Its themes of dialogue and the passing of knowledge are echoed in the combined vocals of Colin and Oathbreaker’s Caro Tanghe. Her spectral presence on the opening Ogentroost acts as both counterpoint and complement to Colin’s stricken howl as the song cycles between enervation and helplessly compelled momentum. Their whispered devotions in the following, vast, hallowed atmospheres of De Dood In Bloei leave you feeling as though you’re bearing witness to the most private of conversations.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first Amenra album to be sung entirely in Flemish, De Doorn imparts a universal power by digging deep into local customs. Not just allowing for a greater range of expression through the intimacy, allowances and layers of meaning granted by your native tongue, it takes inspiration from Flemish forms such as Kleinkunst, a folk-based musical wave driven by storytelling, and the passing of wisdom through generations. Yet as with every Amenra release, De Doorn is an act of observance that recognises the path travelled by fully experiencing the moment, as a rite of consummation, reckoning and deliverance. That state of transition is exemplified in the closing Vor Immer, a hushed, plaintively wracked coda that bursts into newborn, world-in-your eyes transfiguration where sheer, sense flooding experience becomes a blazing threshold where rupture and rapture become one.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe thorn is the most potent of symbols – in religious terms, a reclamation and an agony as a mark of transformation. It’s the nagging reminder of vulnerability and it’s the violent protector, without which beauty cannot thrive. For the cover of De Doorn, it’s been cast in bronze – a thing of value and a memorial, each band member given their own piece to symbolise their own pain and their belonging to the greater whole. In bronze, it is both nature and something else – a mark of singularity and a portal to a continuity that we all share. As Amenra have acknowledged once more, it’s one that hears our call, even when we feel we are at our most alone. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amenra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087576285429,"sku":"RR74802","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_237955de-da4b-494a-ae93-bea9c2cfa899.jpg?v=1759458308"},{"product_id":"amenra-mass-v-cd","title":"Amenra – Mass V CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormed in 1999 in the forsaken fields of West-Flanders, Belgium, Amenra has conjured unholy masses and paved their own headstrong way ever since, spreading their vision of a world of unseen mystique that’s out of touch with the past, present and future.

For nearly 20 years, this Japanese cult have explored the darkest and most deranged ends of the death-doom spectrum. Theirs is a sound that's intrinsically tied to tradition yet evinces a wealth of weirdness, making their sound both classic and challenging in equal measure. And while their countless split recordings are beloved by the band's ever-growing legions of fans, it is ANATOMIA's full-lengths where they truly dive into the deep end, exploring subterranean expanses of the subconscious and sound itself, making each of their three judiciously-spaced-apart albums unique experiences unto themselves.\nThe same can be said for ANATOMIA's long-awaited fourth album, Corporeal Torment. Although it's been merely four years since the critically acclaimed Cranial Obsession - that span of time rather quick between ANATOMIA albums - Corporeal Torment offers a more concise and daresay \"energetic\" counterpart to its epically mammoth predecessor. Then again, with tempos rarely kicking above a sludgy gallop as set forth by early heroes Autopsy, it's not long before second track \"Slime of Putrescence\" drags the listener well and truly into the void of nulled-senses atmospherics. Indeed, ANATOMIA's grasp of mesmerizing mood and dynamics they so masterfully displayed across the aforementioned predecessor is flexed even more fully on Corporeal Torment: more extremes between crushing and quiet, BPMs often dialed back into the negatives, and reverberating textures that occasionally recall musique concrète. In fact, the slipstream of energy into inertia as the album throbs onward becomes a vortex that's nigh impossible to escape...but perhaps that was never an option when one steps into ANATOMIA's claustrophobic cocoon of death-doom. No hyperbole and no hope, Corporeal Torment is punctuation to the end. ","brand":"Anatomia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087576776949,"sku":"DDR269CD","price":24.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_2f2d80a3-4bcb-49d5-8593-260eaa4c41fd.jpg?v=1759458313"},{"product_id":"ancient-death-ego-dissolution-cd","title":"Ancient Death – Ego Dissolution CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eAncient Death was formed in the summer of 2019 in Walpole, MA by Jasmine Alexander (Bass and Vocals), Ray Brouwer (Guitar), and Jerry Witunsky (Guitar and Vocals), soon followed by Derek Malone Moniz (Drums).

Reverberating howls and guitars send a chill through the ossuary while drums hammer through remaining skulls with ease.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile Ascendency clearly revel in delivering punishment, they do so with intricate and carefully constructed songs that contain more than enough nuance to really sink your teeth into. Melodic-yet-bestial riffs charge atop devastating percussion with demonic vocals while never straying too far from the cacophony of fury remains the heart of this untamed sound. The subtleties tie in with bludgeoning violence effortlessly and leave us with a truly potent, memorable, and distinguished record. Atmosphere and malice, when they coexist in such a manner, become an unstoppable beast, so prepare for annihilation if you seek out this mystical-yet-malignant gem of underground might. Delve into oblivion with these new offerings of unfaltering triumph and might.
