PAGAN ALTAR AND THE LAMP OF THOTH WILL BE READY IN 3 WEEKS OR SO.THANKS FOR SUPPORT!!

PAGAN ALTAR- THE TIME LORD

Finally available again soon!! After being unavailable for years we are more than proud to present the very first recordings from the mighty and legendary Pagan Altar dating back to 1978!

The first two tracks showcase the bands more straight forward sound in the form of Highway Cavalier and The Time Lord. Both of which after 1000 plus listens still raise the hairs on yer neck. The remaining tracks are the more Doom oriented numbers (Judgement of the Dead,The Black Mass and Reincarnation)that would appear years later on their 1982 Demo.

This will come with new artwork(shown above)issued in gatefold sleeve with photos of the 1978 lineup and lyric sheet. If you missed it originally come hear the first rumblings of the hooded figures dressed in black.

Pressing now and ready soon in black vinyl!

THE LAMP OF THOTH-NO LAUGHING MATTER

The Lamp of Thoth, what you can say about them? There is quite simply no one like them. Unhinged? Maybe. Eccentric? Possibly. Inebriated? Frequently.
Over three years in the making this finally is in pressing mode and will be done shortly. This ep features new studio versions of three old demo tracks, (Skull Fuel, An Oath Sworn on the Ashlar Stone and The Boggard)Dark World (Saint Vitus cover done the bands own way)and three additional tracks(They Dance, Me Man Me Drink and Drinking Song) that simply defy description.

Come hear tales of Deranged Alchemy, Clandestine Occult Rituals and of course heavy drinking as only Heavy Metal can provide.

No Guarantees of anything except metalheads will have fists in the air and a new classic for their shelves while politcally correct types will leave with misty eyes and hurt feelings.

Over 40 minutes of darkness and abuse from the Lamp of Thoth, there is quite simply, no one like them.

EVIL BLOOD- MIDNIGHT IN SODOM LP

Hailing from our ancestral land of Croatia(now Split)Yugoslavia Evil Blood formed in May of 1982 spurred on by the likes of Venom and Motorhead. By the time of they recorded their first demo in late 1983 they were fully obsessed by the newer sounds coming from young upstarts Metallica and Slayer and Midnight in Sodom was unleashed and spread among Eastern Europe.

The Demo was officially released by Luxor in 1989 but has sadly languished in metal obscurity....until now. The lp will include the 9 tracks from Midnight in Sodom and three additional bonus tracks the band recorded in 85/86 and accompanied by a booklet with lyrics, pics,articles and artwork from the period.

This should be ready in Early October and will sit alongside the other masterworks from the same period.

Awesome, ugly and brutal metal from Croatia. All Hail and act fast!!

GENOCIDE-THE STENCH OF BURNING DEATH LP

Formed in 1984 out of the ashes of Tempter, Michigan's Genocide burst forth playing their form of brutal thrash spurred on by the likes of Celtic Frost,Discharge and Slayer. Through three demo's the band found themselves with the need to continually increase the speed, heaviness and gore of their out put culminating in the January 1986 WFBE demo(aka The Stench of Burning Death). This would be their final recording before demo'ing the Slaughter of the Innocent(aka Horrified) and changing their name to Repulsion.

Although the Legend of Repulsion has been well documented the full history of Genocide had never been committed to vinyl. So here you go, all three demo's plus four outakes from the WFBE sessions along with a 12 page 12x12 booklet with tons of super early pix,flyers,zine coverage and artwork. Black vinyl as usual and a 500 limitation.

A fitting tribute to the early foundations of a death metal legend.

WITCHFYNDE-ROYAL WILLIAM LIVE SACRIFICE '79

Where were you in 79' when the dam began to burst? Well...Tonight you are transported back to the Royal William Pub in Ipswich to a dark,smoke filled ,ale soaked venue for a pre Give Em Hell gig with the arcane occult masters Witchfynde.

Ten songs including all of the first album(minus Ready to Roll)with Steve Bridges on vocals and showcasing Montalo's amazing and criminally underrated axe work(Including the first ever live rendition of Gettin"Heavy!). Additional songs are the never before recorded Why Dontcha?...The most raging track they ever did and Twilight Lady, a mysterious epic in the vein of Leaving Nadir and Unto the Ages...utterly amazing in its dark atmosphere as is the whole gig. The show fiishes off the Sabbath's Paranoid and the gig is done.
Warning: This is not a soundboard recording and there are drop ins on Give Em Hell and Leaving Nadir and a rougher sound throughout. While a invaluable treasure to us, those with sensitive ears or weak constitutions should avoid.
Comes in black vinyl and a gig reproduction poster. Pure magic for those who still beleive!

ROBESPIERRE- DIE YOU HEATHEN DIE! LP

In the next week or so we will have three new records out for you to consider spending your hard earned money on, here is the first:

Forward by Rich Militia Walker

When you think of musically aggressive bands in the NWOBHM, obviously the first band that would spring to mind would be the mighty VENOM, however, amongst the smaller bands fighting for recognition like SHOCK TREATMENT or BLOOD MONEY, there existed a band so underground, and with a name only whispered in select circles rarely, it become hard to actually believe that they ever existed.

First mentioned publically in Malc McMillan’s NWOBHM encyclopaedia, ROBESPIERRE were noted for their occult leanings, and the fact they were allegedly so fucking heavy. Obviously, by that criteria they were a band that everyone was desperate to hear, fans of already noted heavyweights such as DESOLATION ANGELS, APOCALYPSE, RACE AGAINST TIME, PAGAN ALTAR or HELL have been constantly on the lookout for any known recordings by ROBESPIERRE but until now precious few have ever actually been lucky enough to sample their brand of audio violence or actually know ANYTHING at all about the history of the band!

ROBESPIERRE’s debut 1983 demo deserves its place in the all time unsung NWOBHM heroes hall of fame, alongside RACE AGAINST TIME and DEEP MACHINE, purely on the basis that it’s possibly the heaviest of all NWOBHM demo’s on the strength of its overall atmosphere and delivering an iron fist to the face of the listener. Listening to songs like “DIE YOU HEATHEN” and “BACKS TO THE WALL”, not only do you get insanely heavy metal, but you get what I can only describe as the perfect mix between early VENOM and the first PAGAN ALTAR cassette album! An almost impossible task in the hands of most, but these recordings have stood the test of time and still deliver the goods with a fury! Amazingly recorded on a four track cassette machine by just two lunatics, probably in a beer can littered gloomy attic, and only originally intended for close friends – ROBESPIERRE captured that elusive “NWOBHM” ethos and spirit that so many others failed to do.

However, not content with finally exhuming this amazing piece of British metal history, BBTAD have with the aid of ROBESPIERRES lead guitar maniac David, dragged even more recordings dating from the same year from their shallow grave. Showcasing a slower more controlled style in places, the songs are no less vicious. In particular “MAELSTROM” and “DECAPITATION” are two bloody knuckle classics worthy of investigation.There can be no doubt, that this album and these recordings need to be heard by a wider audience, or for that, we are forever in the debt of David for emerging from his rotting mausoleum and giving BBTAD this incredible opportunity!

Coming soon to:
NWN!/HELLS HEADBANGERS/HHO/HORROR RECORDS/AFORJA/HELLRIDE AND THE USUAL SUSPECTS. Thanks for support!

CLOVEN HOOF- THE OPENING RITUAL LP!!

Nearly 30 years after its original release on the band's own Elemental records we are more than proud to present the reissue of the bands first official release The Opening Ritual! The most obscure Cloven Hoof material, the ep showed the world the first taste of the bands occult epic power metal and then disappeared only to be unearthed by the more agressive vinyl hunters of the world over the years for highly inflated prices.

We were looking for additional material for the release when Lee said he had recently found the first 1982 demo from the band. We were hoping the quality would be good, what we heard stunned us. A demo of equal quality in sound and songs to the Opening Ritual.The demo includes "That's the way it goes", Return of the Passover", "Road of Eagles" and "A Piece of the Action".

Presented in 500 copies with a reproduction sleeve, black vinyl and the coolest poster you've ever seen. Available now or soon at NWN!(USA) HELLS HEADBANGERS(USA) HHO(GERMANY)SVART(FINLAND)AFORJA(GERMANY)ROCKADROME(USA)CENTURY MEDIA(USA) OR contact the label ar sleepyhollow70@comcast.net for wholesale.
LONG LIVE THE NWOBHM!

SATAN-INTO THE FIRE LP + KISS OF DEATH 7"

Every self respecting metal head knows and recognizes the ultra classic of Satan's Court in the Act lp as one of the greatest metal records of all time(Save for Popoff). Maybe fewer know that much of the record was already written and demo'd with Ian Swift on vocals(of Avenger) prior to Brian Ross stepping in. The Into the Fire Demo stands among the finest NWOBHM Demos ever recorded! Originally released only on tape in 1982 this is the first vinyl version of the demo. As bonus tracks, included are Oppression and The Executioner from the 1981 Demo/Roxcaliber compilation. A separate bonus 7" is also included with the other two demo tracks from 1981 as a reproduction of the Kiss of Death single.

Also included is an eight page booklet(12x12)with demo tape artwork/early articles/Roxcalibur art etc and unreal pictures showing an incredibly young Satan caught in the act of Church and Grave desecration! The package finishes off with an A2 size gig poster with an original Satan gig poster artwork. Simply essential.
Available now or soon at= AFORJA/HHO/NWN!/SVART/TPL/HELLS HEADBANGERS/HELLRIDE...Support these fine establishments.

PAGAN ALTAR- UPDATE

While the Judgement of the Dead lp pictured belowe sold out very quickly this will be repressed in the future so please do not go hunting on ebay spending a small fortune. The Lords of Hypocrisy dlp is still available form the distros if you do not have it yet. There will also me more Pagan Altar announcements shortly.

Of course everything Pagan Altar does is in our eyes is beyond criticism. Mandatory and life changing Heavy Metal.

WITCHFINDER GENERAL BOX- DEATH PENALTY/FRIENDS OF HELL

What can we say? Our two favorite records ever thrown in a silver foil stamped box with a 20 Page booklet that details the early nefarious dealings of Cope, Parkes, Hawkes and crew. Sold out from us, check the dealers listed on the blog for the very last copies ever. Heavy Metal Glory!!

THE WIZAR'D- PATHWAYS INTO DARKNESS LP

"No! We shall not give in. Marching our forces to the castle of sin. Burn! Their foundations down. Litter the ground with mangled limbs."

Originally released on cd by Barbarian Wrath in 2010 , we instantly became obsessed with the record. Nothing fancy what so ever, just 7 awesome tracks of real heavy metal that you cant get out of your head and will become a classic to those still around.

We added three lives tracks in the form of Crushing Gothic Slime, Horned Lord and Smouldering Sinners and comes with an OBI strip and four page book including lyrics.

No pope hats or channeling some crappy 70's satanic ritual because The Wizar'd are metal heads....and they hate you.

SOLSTICE-NEW DARK AGE DLP

Originally releases towards the end of 1998 on Misanthropy records Solstice's New Dark Age lp has been called many things. The Greatest album of the 90's, The benchmark of Epic Doom Metal or for some the album that confirmed that metal would be there purpose in life. Whatever your view the album is an undisputed classic of real Heavy Metal.

The original vinyl presentation by Metal Supremacy was issued shortly after and disappeared just as quickly. We are proud to make available once again after over a decade the vinyl presentation of this milestone recording.

Issued with two slabs of black vinyl,a case wrapped Orzel approved teeth bashing sleeve with foil stamping and an eight page book with never seen before photos and forward by the esteemed Rich "Militia" Walker. Also included are two bonus tracks in the form of Trespass and Iron Maiden covers. This will be the heaviest record on your shelves in every sense.

Eloquent,intelligent and crushingly heavy all at once and limited to 500 and now running low. So go to your favorite distro listed below and support real underground heavy metal now!

STREET CHILD-STREET CHILD LP

Often called one of the the rarest metal record of all time, the original Street Child record was released in 1989 and disappeared quickly thereafter. Scarcity aside, this is a shining of example of the best of U.S. Metal,Emotional,Epic and Heavy. The original 4 track ep is added to here with three tracks from the 1990 demo of equal sound quality.

This was a charity release between us and the band and is now sold out from us. The proceeds have been forwarded to the appropriate parties and will end up benefitting Children's Cancer Research.

For the last copies please visit the distros listed at the bottom of this page and thanks to everyone who supported and most of all the band for creating and making accessable that feeling we live for.

JAGUAR-AXE CRAZY IN HOLLAND! DLP

DUST018- JAGUAR-AXE CRAZY IN HOLLAND DLP


Growing up in the Bay Area in the early 80's there was no shortage of great gigs that came through including some of the bigger NWOBHM bands. One of our biggest regrets though is missing the gigs by the hundreds of NWOBHM bands that never got the chance to make it to the U.S. Therefore we jump at the chance to get recordings from these shows such as the cd Majestic Rock put out in 2006 of this show from Jaguar from their 82 Dutch gigs.

After putting it on it wasn't long before we realised what was happening, this small club and the Dutch maniacs inside were being crushed by the fastest most aggressive heavy metal available to date. The crowd requesting, no demanding that each song be played faster and faster and the band upping the speed at every opportunity, even taunting the crowd! All the classics are here, Dutch Connection,Backstreet Woman,Stormchild,War Machine, Cold Heart,Axe Crazy and more!

Surely gigs likes this along with the emerging UK hardcore scene were the birthplace of speed. In any case metal magic from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

Leather and Sweat,stale lager,bloody nose and loosened teeth included for those who still believe.
