These Finnish masters of ancient death worship come back to rightfully establish their position as one of Europe's premiere names. Their new material sees the band refine their craft, with an even darker, heavier and meaner vibe and even more compact and focused songwriting than their already poser-decimating debut. Stench of Decay remain as shameless about their inspirations as they do flawless in their delivery. Think Demigod, think Funebre, think Abhorrence and, above all, think KILLER and CRUSHING... not to mention essential.

The second demo of these Finnish masters of brutality. Produced, mixed and mastered by Tommi Otsavaara of ArchiTorture, these three putrid slabs of Death Metal brutality owe as much to old Finndeath legends as they do to prime-time Morbid Angel and Sadistic Intent. Originally released on CD by the band themselves, "In Death" contains fifteen minutes of monstruous vocals, laberyntine riffs and total darkness- don't miss your opportunity to own this classic in the making on old-school cassette for the first time ever!

Kryps have returned, and no amount of warnings could save any nearby lifeforms from the lethal weapon that is this 7". Pure heaviness, even more brutal vocals harking to the days of Rottrevore and Disembowelment and pure riff malevolence. Streaks of dark and eerie melody emerge from under the wall of sonic brutality. The guitars have got even heavier, and the bass sound carries the weight of a ton's worth of dead hippos and about as much filth. This literally drips old-school evil in a way that has to be heard to be believed. The songs remains suffocating in delivery and unrepentant in their simplicity, yet epic and grandiose in scope. Make no mistake, this is the sound of death done right, and it only makes us wonder where they can take things next.

Following the demise of old-school Swedish behemoths CARNAGE, vocalist and living Death Metal legend Johan Liiva formed DEVOURMENT. These extremely rare tracks form the only surviving recording documenting the band's existence; an impossibly dark-sounding rehearsal session featuring two songs of Swedeath, done the ancient way. Also worth noting is that some of the other band members later went on to become Furbowl. A true necrotic feast in its own right, and a slice of musical history craving its place in the collection of every Death Metal enthusiast!

Spearheading the rebirth of the Stockholm sound are these young warriors, who get that ever-tricky balance between Deathrash and total Crust obscurity just right, delving into the very territory where Nihilist, Macabre End and demo-era Grave once dared to tread, and kicking it well into this decade's most corpse-infested graveyards. The old-school well and truly lives (and dies) on...

From the murkiest depth of a cold, misty and rat-infested Uppsala rehearsal garage hark these purveyors of arcane Death Metal lore. Ancient cult and chugging-riff nirvana, in the vein of Asphyx and Morgoth, with a smattering of total Reifert-inspired filth and a subtle psychedelia in the guitar lead work not unlike that which was once heard from daring acts such as Carbonized, Abhorrence and Afflicted in their prime - all performed in the pure, unrepentant old-school way. Worship the Death!

Unleashing upon mankind some crushing old school death metal.
From the uk comes EVOKE, after 16 years there crushing i am my own god demo 1994 is finally brought to the world on vinyl.
This classic features 5 songs of pure death..not to be missed.
1000 copies of this demo were sold/traded after its release and was praised by people like Dan swano etc

Mordbrand hail from the darkest wasteland of sweden and have recorded a masterclass in evil death ,which explores the realms of the deadliest of all metal.
Featuring Bjorn Larsson (ex - Horned/The Law) and Johan Rudberg (The Law) this new project brings the glory days of autopsy inspired death , which will rip out your soul.

"Dense, dark and pummelling Death from Turkey's best-kept secret! Burial Invocation summon a palpably occult aura through the mighty power of the old-school riff. Deathly gloom with more than a hint of classic Metal... think Incantation, think Grave, think Dead Congregation, and above all, think MORBID, and you're over halfway there. One of the most promising new bands, ready and poised to place their country on the Death Metal map."

Recorded back in ’94, only now excavated from the crypts, Justify Your Existence is a masterpiece of Swedish Death Metal in the ancient tradition. Containing 14 unreleased tracks of raging hatred, this LP builds upon the legacy of their Ecstasy In Pain EP [1990] and split with Exanthema [1993], not to mention an appearance on the seminal CBR Records Projections Of A Stained Mind LP [1990] alongside titans Mayhem, Nirvana 2002 and Merciless. With members going on to form legendary rawpunk acts Dischange and Meanwhile, this LP documents a very different approach. Anger, despair, and hateful desperation; imagine if you will the effortless poise of Dismember colliding with the brutal threat of early Sepultura, all combined with the violent fury of Napalm Death. Chronic Decay takes the tired clichés of death/thrash, injecting the corpse with a mercurial holocaust of merciless intent. Raise the dead, raise your fist!

Recalling none other than the elders of Swedish Death Metal, this debut EP introduces the crushing might of Miasmal. Following their exceptionally well-received 2008 demo (reissued on 12” through Nuclear War Now!/Detest Records), this highly anticipated release sees the band further develop their core sound. One listen and you’re left wondering how it took until 2010 for the unprecedented mastery of Entombed to meet the gatecrash-the-entrance-to-hell dynamics of early Disfear. A level of supreme confidence crashes through these songs with an audacious disregard for genre orthodoxy; simplicity and complexity duel for the upper hand in a display of rotten regal pride. If you appreciate some brains beside the guts on your plate, you need to hear this… WORSHIP THE MONARCHAL ROT.

From the ruins of an old band Otso (drums) and Antti (bass/vocals) decided to reanimate their idea of making a death metal band. In autumn 2008, after changing some ideas and digging up some old riffs from the grave, KRYPTS was born. After finishing a few songs, the band started to look for a guitarist for the band rehearsals. Ville, an old friend of Otso and Antti, felt as a good choice. So the first line-up was complete and rehearsals could begun in the spring 2009.

After a few months of rotting in the practice place, recording of their first demo begun. 'Open the Crypt' cd-r was released first of June 2009. It is a 24 minute piece of death metal inspired by the old gods. Lead-guitar was taken care by Otso, because the band was still missing the lead guitarist. The demo received great feedback world wide and the first print was sold out in one month. The name started to spread, and soon after the demo was released, it got to the hands of Detest Records.

Detest Records offered a 7” deal for the band, and after thinking a while, KRYPTS decided to sign. Everything was now in order except the lead-guitarist. The band searched for weeks, and finally a potential guitarist Topi asked if he could fill the missing spot. The line-up was complete and things started to roll. The final copies of ‘Open The Crypt’ second press were sold out from the band, and Jerry from Detest Records came up with an idea of re-releasing the demo as a 12” vinyl version in co-operation with Me Saco Un Ojo Records. This was nothing but good news.

The band is now looking forward to the year 2010, which comes up with at least two KRYPTS releases and hopefully lots of gigs.

In the year of 2008 the meaning of brutality was redefined as UNDERGANG arose from the sewers of the Copenhagen underground. Consisting of members who had all formerly been active music wise within the hardcore punk scene the band set out to crush, kill and destroy everything on their way with a ferocious musical blend of down-tuned sludge, goresoaked grinding, ultraviolent bomb blasts and just straight forward old school death metal parts mixed all together in a lethal cocktail definitely not for the weak of heart. Drawing on inspiration from death metal legends such as Autopsy, Suffocation, Carcass, Death and Morbid Angel the unholy gang of three known as UNDERGANG intended to create their own unique brand of raw death metal with a sound as thick and punishing as a brick wall that repeatedly keeps on crashing down on you. And with the recording of the tracks that makes up the debut LP-release entitled “Indhentet af Døden” (“Caught by Death”) UNDERGANG definitely succeeded in doing just that: These recordings are as dark as your worst nightmare and as cutting as your sharpest knife, bound to make your ears bleed and your soul shrink as they hammer you into oblivion. Besides from gracing the recording studio with their manly presence UNDERGANG has also participated in a handful of demon-worshipping black masses known as gigs and in this way proved that the band for sure can deliver a pulverising display of mind-bending sonic madness convincing reviewers to put together sentences as: “Without a doubt the best band of the evening”, “Masterfully performed” and “A fantastic band that is sure to set the world aflame”… And this is just what Torturdöd (Axe & guttural mutilation), Ondsind (Bestial roar of the abyss) and Dödshjælp (Pulse of death & desecration) will continue to do: Spreading their version of the soundtrack to the downfall of a world that never really realized what actually hit it before it was too late – so in order to conclude: You had better start running or prepare yourself for the slaughter…

In 2004 two Finnish lads, namely Rami Simelius and Tommi Sookari, had an idea to create a death metal band. Two more guys were to be added to the line-up and the band was complete. Ville Virtanen was asked to join in as the 2nd guitarist and Jesse Toivonen as the drummer. Tommi took care of the bass lines/vocal duties and Rami was the lead guitarist/song writer.

The band begun writing songs and rehearsing at the local youth center and at some point Jussi Rajala joined SoD to take care of the vocal duties. In the Fall of 2005, the band entered the studio and the result was a demo with 4 fast and furious songs. Musicwise the demo leaned in American style of Death metal, yet there were hints of old Finnish death metal to be found.

After the first demo was unleashed, SoD concentrated on gigs. Several gigs with several bands were done during the period between 2006 and 2007. Some of the highlights from that time were definitely the gigs with Zemial and Nunslaughter. Suddenly SoD lapsed into a slumber, which lasted almost a year. No new songs were written, no reahealsals took place and no gigs were done during that time.

At some point in 2008 SoD was wakened from its slumber. New material was composed and the rehearsing could begin. In early 2009 the band entered the studio once again and the second demo "Where Death and Decay Reign" saw the light of day. WDaDR was released on tape by Belgian Detest Records. The demo included 3 new songs and a cover song of almighty Abhorrence, namely Vulgar Necrolatry. SoD's style had changed a bit, yet WDaDR could easily be categorized as Death Metal. The songs have more melodies and the pace is lower than before. In comparison to the earlier recording, WDaDR is atmospheric and the compositions are more straight forward style.

And what lies in the future for SoD? A 7" EP is on the works and it shall be released via Detest Records in continuum of a successful cooperation.A couple of participations in Death metal compilations has been discussed, but we'll see if those compilations ever see the light of day. Among song writing, SoD would be happy to rise on stage more often since those occations have been rather rare.
