The new album „Alptraumgänger“ represents the completion of a creative period, which took place over the last years. Simultaneously, the album contains a progressing journey into the past, which consists of two individual parts. The first part contains new compositions which were recorded in the course of the year 2017 bit by bit. Stylistically the songs stand out by a stronger focus on aggression and sheer brutality, still always featuring the typical flair of SCHRAT: melodious, old-school, symphonic, icy-cold! The characteristic songwriting which already slowly developed on “Schattenwahn” and matured on “Artefakt”, rises with “Alptraumgänger” to a new level. The lyrics further amplify the impact of the compositions – Odes to the Schrat as personified revenge and annihilation as well as unleashing of the unconscious mind manifest with the musical eruptions to a nightmarish intensive atmosphere.
This piece of US Black Metal History, compiling both demo recordings of Grand Belial’s Key, comes with heavy vinyl and printed inner sleeve. As long as stock lasts, we will include the LP sized booklet of the previous double lp pressing, which includes an exclusive interview, old pictures etc.
At long last, a timeless classic returns: BESTIAL WARLUST's pivotal second album, Blood & Valour, now seeing release on digipack through HELLS HEADBANGERS! Originally released in 1995, Blood & Valour was the crucial follow-up to the Aussie barbarians' legendary debut album, Vengeance War 'Til Death.
Reissue from the 2007 EP. Follow-up to the classic “Vado mori” album and my favourite material from the band. Originally released by NWN and Bird Of Ill Omen. Available again by NWN and Heidens Hart with 23 minutes of bonus material on side B, making this basically a full length at 47 minutes. All records come on white/grey/black marble vinyl and include an insert with lyrics etc. Great Pest sound at its peak.
