Widely considered one of the first "war metal" albums - if not THE first, actually - BESTIAL WARLUST's debut was a shockingly violent and utterly barbaric slab of black metal that literally had no peer upon its release in 1994. It spawned countless imitators in the two decades since that original release and even furthered the "bestial metal" subgenre so prolific today, but there's simply no substitute for the original - and HELLS HEADBANGERS couldn't be prouder to reissue it alongside the second album, Blood & Valour. SATANIC WAR METAL...BESTIAL fucking WARLUST!!!
"BESTIAL WARLUST were indeed stocked with an arsenal like no other. Their moniker, the cover artwork, the verbiage, the look, the sheer sawn-off, noise-annoys oblivion they sought and then wielded with an iron fist...this was WAR METAL at Year Zero, and it's captured brilliantly. The sound itself is a weapon; barbaric crush is substituted for conventional riffs, and they wander about in a drunken haze of chaotic abandon. Even more garish and exaggerated than Blasphemy's, the short/sharp/shocked bursts of "guitar solo" are the accidentally avant-garde covering fire." - ZERO TOLERANCE magazine WAR METAL special.

BEHEXEN should require no introduction. One of the longest-running Finnish black metal bands, BEHEXEN have patiently spread out their album releases in such a manner that each serves as a tome, a poignant snapshot of that era of its creators, with each being unique in its headspace but undeniably coming from the same visionary minds. But prior to essential early albums like 2000's Rituale Satanum and 2004's classic By the Blessing of Satan, BEHEXEN had recorded a trio of equally compelling demos - and even one prior, under the moniker Lords of the Left Hand, in 1995.

Das Black-Metal-Urgestein DARKMOON WARRIOR entfesselt abermals das Chaos!
