Nibiru - Earthbreeder 7" preorder!

Preorders are now up for a 7" vinyl pressing of the debut recordings by Nibiru. This is a co-release with Worship records.

Hailing from Ireland and seemingly coming out of nowhere, this is 2 epic tracks of prog-grunge-hardcore. Expand your mind! We have, as you can see, an exclusive preorder shirt up for grabs too!

Monolith 'I,Misanthrope' EP + shirt up for order now!

4 songs of grossly downtuned, horrendous, technical brutality. Classily done - no neon vomit t-shirts or members that look like deformed paedos.

Fans of Meshuggah, Acacia Strain, Brutality Will Prevail, American Me, Desolated, Bury Your Dead and anything technical and heavy should be all over this!

The shirt (limited to 20) comes with a free download of the ep, or you can buy a lowcost download on its own!

Available in the store now!

Brontide - 'Coloured Tongues' video!

The song is available to preorder here on clear vinyl with a newly recorded version of MFBT

The video was directed by Charlotte Knight and shot by Nic Brit. To support the release the band will be heading out on tour this month.

I'm not fully buying into this 'mixtape' thing that has arisen this year (it's an excuse for an artist to circumnavigate criticism - "Oh, it's not my debut album, it's only my mixtape!") - but I did, like everyone else seemingly, enjoy the A$SAP Rocky one and the first The Weeknd one. And bits of the Terius Nash one.
