    Second album by intense London Quartet Antlered Man who last year with debuted with 'Giftes 1&2'. Rave reviews (Classic Rock, PROG, Total Guitar, Kerrang, Rock Sound, Terrorizor, Drowned In Sound, Artrocker (album of the month)) and award nominations followed that album, along side 100+ tour dates and 15 festivals in 2012 alone incl 2,000 Trees, The Great Escape, The Camden Crawl, 1234 Festival and Incubate.

    With influences spanning The Melvins, Tool, Mike Patton, Shellac & Clutch, their unique mix of punk, metal, prog, hardcore and alt rock was quick to translate in to packed tour dates, including EU tours with And So I Watch You From Afar and multiple gold record selling Triggerfinger.

    This accumulated in a nomination for 'Best Live Act' at the 2012 Artrocker Awards and another award nomination as 'Best New Band' at this year's Classic Rock PROG 'Progressive Music Awards', the band are on an upwards curve. At the beginning of 2013 the band recorded down LP#2 'This Devil Is Them' with Belfast based ASIWYFA producer Rocky O'Reilly.

    A heavier and stranger beast than the first, 'This Devil Is Them', takes the band to new territories.

    Exclusive t-shirt design black with white logos front and back limited to 100.


    Black Moth rose from the Leeds underground scene at the end of the last decade, indulging their love for both Sabbath sulphur and Stooges squalor. 


    Their debut 'The Killing Jar', which was released in 2012, was hailed by many as 'one of the best debut album's you'll hear all year' - it even made it onto Kerrang's top 50 albums of the year. Now with an expanded (guitar) lineup to expand the riffage comes the follow up, 'Condemned To Hope.' 

    Their long awaited second album, produced like their first by Jim Sclavunos (Grinderman, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, The Cramps) takes their kaleidoscopic heaviosity and sepulchral style to a whole new plateau of riff-driven dementia. A turbulent brew with just as much 60s garage rock bite, head-spinning psychedelia and '1991-The-Year-That-Punk-Broke' grit to offer as Vinum Sabbathi riffage. 'Condemned To Hope' is where Black Moth truly render themselves a glimmering presence in the firmament of 21st century rock. A band just as comfortable sharing the Temples festival bill with the likes of Electric Wizard and Neurosis as they are alongside Nick Cave, Iggy Pop and Deborah Harry on the forthcoming Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions album 'Axels And Sockets'. 

    As with all NHS releases the album package will be something very special, with some very special cover art.
    The one and only Roger Dean has created a brand new painting to adorn the cover of the album. Designer, architect and artist, his iconic work for Yes, Uriah Heep, Budgie, countless Vertigo sleeves and much more, has almost come to define 70's sleeve art. It's the Roger Dean you know and love, yet as you've never seen him before.

    3rd Pressing on Amber / Beer coloured vinyl shipping now.

    Black Moth are four super talented individuals, Harriet Bevan - vocals, Jim Swainston - guitar, Dave Vachon - bass, and Dom McCready, battering the crap out of his drums. Formed 2 years ago out of the ashes of Leeds garage rockers The Bacchae, the band were seduced by the brutal and hypnotic lure of the riff, to emerge translucent skinned and bleary eyed from their cocoon as the ferocious kick-ass heavy rock outfit that is Black Moth.

    Taking a powerful chunk of influence from proto-punk acts such as Iggy and the Stooges, Motorhead and early Alice Cooper as well as a sliver of 90s grunge and stoner rock and a big dose of doom, Black Moth draw out the darker elements and combine them with the heaving riffs of heavy metal giants, Pentagram and Black Sabbath, with "hooks so sharp you could hang a corpse on them". They also look to more current acts such as the Melvins, Sleep and Electric Wizard for inspiration, though singer, Harriet Bevan, still maintains a vocal style that evokes the haunting psychedelia of Grace Slick and psych-Satanist, Jinx Dawson from Coven: the woman responsible for the "sign of the horns" in rock'n'roll.

    They're also a big part of the burgeoning Leeds heavy rock scene alongside Pulled Apart By Horses, Kong, Hawk Eyes and Gentlemen's Pistols, it looks like it's about to break. Songs that the band have honed and crafted in the mighty maelstrom that is the Leeds heavy rock scene, have been rippin' 'em up live not only in Yorkshire but everywhere they've played.

    Now all they needed was to be brought to vivid screaming life on record. Enter Mr Jim Sclavunos, the multi talented Grinderman and Bad Seed, not to mention the superbaaad connoisseur of the mixing console, fresh from producing the storming second Jim Jones Revue album. One of their shows was all it took.

    Black Moth reminds me of my misspent youth he said. And judging by the all out assault that he's crafted with the Moth, he must have been a very bad boy indeed. The Killing Jar is their debut from New Heavy Sounds and it rocks like a bastard.

    BlackLab 'Abyss'

    £8.99

    Abyss was recorded under a full moon over three intense days, and has the off the leash'abandon of Fun House'era Stooges'.

    Sonically, it's a fat dose of doom meets slowed down hardcore punk; filled with loud, ultra distorted guitar, and yet, a surprising amount of melody as well.

    In fact, Yuko has said that the band's name is a combination of Black Sabbath and Stereolab, well here on Abyss'is where that strange mix begins to make musical sense.

    The band haven't lost their love of lo-fi or Riot Grrrl'attitude.
    Vocals go from shoegaze melodic to hardcore screams. The guitars are loud and heavily gnarled to the point of chaos, and underneath all this, the drums rolling and tumbling thunder amidst the riffs.

    Yes there is a smattering of Sabbathy Wizarding'of course, but submerged within dark, deep fuzz and punk rock crank and grind.

    In truth the vibe is closer to both the arty heaviness of early Boris, and the sweet savagery of My Bloody Valentine, than any kind of doom'tropes. It's a sound that is undoubtedly BlackLab's own.

    Blacklab 'In A Bizarre Dream'

    £9.00

    Blacklab are back. The self-proclaimed ‘Doom witch duo from Osaka’ drop their third album ‘In A Bizarre Dream’ which ups the ante considerably from their previous records, to let rip and define what Blacklab are about.

    The drums have a humungous ‘Fugazi’ like welly, and the guitars are a boiling maelstrom of fuzz dense riffola, hardcore punk and warped psychedelics, with added synth. The drums are rolling thunder and ferocious D-Beat, and singer Yuko’s throat shredding snarls are as mean as a pissed off Satan, and melodious, often within the same song.

    This is doom meets hardcore punk, hooky melodies, and killer riffs, all cranked up to the max.

    Japan has always had a special take on ‘noise’ and ‘heavy’ and with ‘In A Bizarre
    Dream’ Blacklab adds their own spin to that tradition..

    Fuzz, fuzz, fuzz, doom, stoner, more fuzz.

    Welcome to the world of Blacklab.

    Blacklab describe themselves as the Dark Witch Doom Duo from Osaka Japan'.

    However, when it comes to witches, they are more the spectral Sadako from The Ring'than campy Countess Dracula'. Chilling cool with built in overdrive.

    A full frontal assault of distorted riffs, howls and ghostly vocals, as well as bags of riot girrl attitude and lo-fi bravado.

    Being nominally a Doom'band, expect a bucket load of Sabbath worship for sure, but Blacklab have a vibe and experimental undertow akin more to their countrymen Boris'and the souped up lo-fi fuzz of Ty Segall or Comets On Fire.

    Tracks like Black Moon'Hidden Garden'Spoon'Symptom Of The Blacklab'(which starts like Sabbath - ¦ then thrashes somewhere else), twist, burn and boil into the red. His Name Is - ¦'is a churning chunky throb. Spoon'and Warm Death'offer moments of relief and crushing noise.

    And Big Muff'is - ¦ well - ¦ 9 minutes of drum-less fuzz, that will probably do serious damage to your speakers.

    What's not to love. 

    Blacklab are: Yuko Morino, guitar and vocals. Chia Shiraishi, drums.

    Cold In Berlin 'Rituals Of Surrender'

    £9.99

    First vinyl pressing is limited to 500 copies in Transparent Red and Black smoke vinyl. Included is a free CD and download of the whole album.

    Main CD package is a 4 panel digipack.

    London rockers, Cold In Berlin return with their new album 'Rituals Of Surrender'. Nine slabs of fuzz laden, goth infused doom crossed with post punk attitude and vibe.

    Over nine songs you are submerged into the dense, heavy sounds of their fourth album: A witch crawls from the ocean as the world is born looking for a new life, a woman recalls the painful love she needed to feel alive, a man cracks wide open looking for secrets, and love burns two desperate lovers - the songs are filled with heroic and overwhelming loss wrapped in the hope of what comes next.

    Produced with gritty clarity and volume by Wayne Adams (Green Lung - Woodland Rites) Rituals of Surrender opens with the grinding, hypnotic pulse of The Power and the apocalyptic rise of Dark Days, the record twists and turns as guitars crash, tempos warp and vocalist Maya stalks your thoughts with her mesmeric vocals. The rituals continue to build through Avalanche and Monsters, an edgy industrial throb and a sweeping prayer. Side A closes with Frantic a frenetic shard of fractured shellac.

    When the cut-and-thrust dies down, the album reveals the band at their most fragile. The haunting schadenfreude of Your Body//My Church is a beautiful, desperate love song nestled between the ceremonial Temples and the stoner trip of Shadowman. The album-closer Sacred Ground soars from a place of Lovecraftian foreboding towards an explosion of cinematic-doom.

    Their grandest and most poignant piece to date.

    Debut album by Bradford 4 piece energised, riff packed, stoner rockers. With the domestic underground rock scene beginning to break through with the likes of Pulled Apart by Horses, TurboWolf, Hawk Eyes, New Heavy Sounds follows the album success of Black Moth with this ferocious debut statement. A hellish amalgam of the hook laden rolling stoner grooves of QOTSA and Red Fang, mashed with a mighty thump of Mastodon'esque heaviness and hard rock, all put through a psychedelic mangle.

    The music is huge, with thunderous riffs followed by thunderous rhythm changes and grooves that take in hardcore, doom and acid-rock, all executed with top class playing. Produced to intensity by Dave Sanderson (Black Moth engineer) it is an exhausting listen.

    Death Pill, are an all-female hardcore punk power trio of considerable muscle, combining metalcore, punk rock and (like labelmates ‘Shooting Daggers’) oodles of ‘Riot Grrl’ vibe.

    It’s significant how many female punk bands are using the stance and attitude of the ‘Riot Grrl’ movement as a touchstone for what they are about, but it doesn’t end there. From the classic punk of Black Flag, The Distillers and Circle Jerks, to modern outfits like Axe Rash and the thrash metal of Nervosa and Exodus, there’s a nod to all of this in Death Pill’s visceral sound. 

    This is the special 2nd edition of their self titled debut, with two of the tracks newly recorded with English lyrics, nevertheless with all the fire and vitriol still intact.

Full on and fully formed on their self-titled debut album.

    That aside, what makes this release even more pertinent, and the fact that it is happening at all, is that Mariana, Anastasiya and Nataliya are from the Ukraine, whose troubles are well known to all of course, but naturally enough have hit the band very hard. But there is hope, and as this album amply demonstrates, plenty of fighting spirit. It’s a killer debut.

    The musicianship and commitment on display is undeniable, plus the tracks on the album have been totally remastered for this release, sounding as fat and full as a raging whirlwind.

    ‘Death Pill’ will be released on limited edition white with red splatter vinyl housed in a full colour single sleeve with a printed lyric inner. Full download included. There will also be a limited CD version in a 4 panel digipack with a 12 page lyric booklet. It will also be available on all digital platforms.
    Death Pill is set for release on the 24th February 2023, perhaps fittingly a year to the day that Russia invaded Ukraine.

    Birmingham, Alabama 4 piece EMBR are set to release a 3 song EP called '1021'. The EP title alludes to the fact that, this release is the second in the New Heavy Sounds 10th Anniversary CD EP series.

    1021'follows on the heels of their critically acclaimed full-length '1823'. It also falls in line with the 2-year anniversary of the drummer Erik's kidney transplant.

    EMBR deliver 3 brand new songs, each of which push the template set up by the album. These compositions chronicle love, devastation, disappointment, forgiveness and anger, and once again musically EMBR are in top form, broadening their horizons bringing a faster pace and tougher execution to their sound. 

    '1021' shows the band continuing to develop and grow, the crushing heaviness and haunting vocals that marked their album are there and they have added a faster pace and tougher execution to their sound add to that some memorable hooks that will sink in your jaw and you have an enticing journey ahead of you. 

    In fact 1021'hits like Jason Voorhees on a rampage and doesn't let up until the end of the 15 minute run time.

    The EP was recorded and mixed by Matt Washburn at Ledbelly Sound in Dawsonville Ga. and mastered at Soulfire Sounds in Birmingham, Alabama.  

    Alongside this the band have created a video for each song, filmed during the studio sessions and these will form part of the release with the EP.

    CD package is a 4 panel digipack, with a 4 page booklet.

    Musically Embr's debut 1823'could be categorized as Doom'. However, it's obvious that EMBR have range, drive and a desire to add to the genre, to broaden it whilst staying true to its core fundamentals.

    Rest assured, the band have all the nuts and bolts in place. Mark Buchanan (guitar), Alan Light (bass) and Eric Bigelow (drums) keep everything tight and weighty. Massive drop-tuned guitars, chest rattling low end, pounding drums, fuzzy distortion, it's all there. But they also add in synths, a bit of grunge and alt rock flavors.

    The vocal talents of Crystal absolutely soar and strengthen the music. Her range, patterns and harmonies transport the band's music skyward. Crystal adds soul and an air of melancholia to the musical creations. If a pointer were needed, think Mastodon meets Witch Mountain with epic sweeps and a shade of gothic drama.

    The songs on 1823 are loud, brutally beautiful, aggressive, abrasive and at times atmospheric, uplifting and emotional.

    'Bird" will be released on May 17th on limited edition Red and Black Vinyl and CD.
    Exclusive 2 colour, T Shirt option only by mail order or as a bundle.
    T Shirt designed by Unexpected Specter (@unexpectedspecter on instagram)

    Ex People are Laura Kirsop: Vocals, Calum Gunn: Guitar, Edward White: Bass and Vicki Dawson: Drums.

    Emerging from the London DIY scene in 2015 are stoner sludge four-piece Ex People, the latest in a line of bands seeking to push the heavy template yet further.

    'Bird' was recorded with Wayne Adams (Vodun, USA Nails, Death Pedals, Casual Nun) at Bear Bites Horse Studios, and he's managed to perfectly capture the visceral weight of their sound, a startling amalgam of super filthy fuzz thick riffs, grunge, noise rock and stoner, combined with a punk attitude. 

    Taking their cue from bands as diverse as Electric Wizard, Bardo Pond, Harvey Milk and Kylesa, along with 90s sludge such as the Melvins (yet still managing to sound cohesive) the ten tracks that make up 'Bird', combine stoner hooks and soaring vocals with a crushing heaviness. 

    Add to that some thumping motorik beats (almost like a heavy 'Neu' at times), shot through with an ever-present melodic sensibility, and you have a band that once again shows that when it comes to heavy music, all gates are open.

    Drawing on apocalyptic and dystopian themes, 'Over' tells the story of a planet colliding with the earth, over a driving, crunching circular riff.

    Other tracks tackle real-world horror, with 'The Host' about a woman and child escaping domestic violence, and opening track 'Not a Drill' calling for resistance against oppressive regimes. 

    And album closer 'Crested' is as dark as it gets, 8 minutes of full on doom meets discord, combining the atmospherics of Windhand with the slowed down hardcore of My War-era Black Flag

    'Bird' is gloriously heavy, fuzzed up yet melodic, at times bleak and thrilling as it is infectious.

    It's a bold statement of intent, and we are stoked to add Ex People to the NHS roster.

    EYE – the new band from Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard (MWWB) singer-songwriter/musician Jessica Ball – has announced the arrival of their eagerly awaited debut album, 'Dark Light’.

    Triggered in part by the existential dread looming outside as well as the sudden ill health of her dear friend, MWWB guitarist Paul “Dave” Davies, then fighting for life after a Covid-related stroke. Ball took the opportunity to compose songs that were all her own – nuanced, lyrical, and hypnotically distinctive.

    Having earned a fervent fan following with MWWB, Eye are a different proposition, though no less compelling. Traversing a diverse spectrum of dark folk, dreampop, IDM and psychedelic doom, to create sometimes heavy and foreboding drones, alongside spare but still richly textured sonics. 

    ‘Dark Light’ is an intensely atmospheric fusion of emotionally charged songcraft and inspired sonic energy. The clue is in the album's paradoxical title. Chilling and even bleak melodies with arrangements daringly and deliberately stripped down and minimal. Revealing a kinship with sonic bed-fellows Mazzy Star, Chelsea Wolfe or even Portishead

    So, whilst not strictly speaking ‘Doom’ or ‘Metal’ fans of Jessica’s previous work with MWWB will not be disappointed. Along with producer Chris Fielding (MWWB, Conan) EYE have produced something otherworldly, which is at times heavy and epic, yet still deeply intimate and dark. 

    A striking debut.

    Grave Lines 'Communion'

    £8.99

    Very limited vinyl pressing, 500 copies in a full colour single outer sleeve and full colour printed lyric inner sleeve, housing black and white smoke effect vinyl.

    Two albums in and London’s Grave Lines, purveyors of ‘heavy gloom’ have already carved a unique niche in the myriad spheres of heavy music.

    Now with their third album ‘Communion’ Grave Lines continue their exploration into the ugliness of the human condition, at the same time becoming a band that truly defies any pigeonhole. 

    In a nutshell ‘Communion’ is a violent descent of bile-soaked intensity spiralling between filth laden swagger, and fragile mournful lament. The album delves into the internal aloneness of existence and the failings of the human connection.

    Owing as much to Bauhaus and Killing Joke as it does to Black Sabbath or Neurosis, there are moments of gut wrenching doomed up heaviness and bellowing noise rock, contrasting with ambient gothic passages and a thoughtful melancholy, to a create a powerful new chapter in their ceaseless journey through the gloom.

    The second album by London/Brighton heavy contingent GRAVE LINES follows on from their 2016  debut 'Welcome To Nothing' and sees the band expand their sound across nine weighty, yet darkly melodic tracks.

    Coming in at just shy of an hour. FED INTO THE NIHILIST ENGINE is a must listen for fans of all things heavy, however anybody seeking music that delves into the darker and more introspective aspects of the human condition will find much to love within its expansive tracks.

    At times quiet and melancholy, at times an oppressive and miserable onslaught of crushing riffs and filth-laden grooves.

    Fans of Yob to Neurosis, even Bauhaus or Dead Can Dance, take heed, FITNE reaches out to encompass elements of them all.

    Lyrically introspective, dark and challenging, vocalist Jake Harding states - ¦
    'The album is an exploration into our relationship with negativity. The Nihilist Engine is symbolic of our greatest flaw and the self-defeating nature of our species. This machine represents both the inner turmoil of the human spirit and our struggle to understand the darkness spreading from external forces. Self-perpetuating and infectious, these feelings contaminate and spread. A relentless machine drawing us in and chewing up our poisoned remains.'

    Grave Lines are back with a record which promises to take you on an exploratory journey deep within the inner realms of your own psyche.

     " - ¦a fine introduction to a band who will undoubtedly soon be one of the brightest stars in the London underground." Noisey

    "Their debut is certainly more than the sum of its parts, taking in huge Neurosis-esque riffs, and a gloomy, gothic melodicism that is all their own " Terrorizer

    £22.00

    Hailing from New York, GUHTS (pronounced ‘guts’) are a bold new voice within a maelstrom of genres and sub-genres.

    They declare themselves to be an ‘avant-garde post-metal project, delivering larger than life sounds through, deeply emotional music’.

    And they deliver that statement in full effect in the form of their debut album ‘Regeneration’.

    Pointers can be made of course. By their own admission, GUHTS' musical style is influenced not only by iconic metal bands like Gojira, Cult of Luna, YOB and Deftones, but more unconventional acts like Bjork, Subrosa, Isis, Julie Christmas, and even PJ Harvey. It’s undoubtedly heavy, with a strong feminist streak, it’s cathartic and weighty, a formidable debut for such a new band.
    ‘Regeneration’ is set to cement their status as one of the coolest and most interesting bands on the scene.

    A powerful and intense series of songs, topped off by some seriously mighty, expressive vocal performances. 

    It’s slow-shifting chords, moving like sheets through sludge. High guitar lines above, ranging from piercing and shimmering to nasty. Drums pound but not without groove. There are strings, pianos and synths widening the palette. Atmospheric sludge, metalgaze, maybe, but there’s also that link to the New York Noise lineage from The Velvets and Sonic Youth, becoming a type of post-hardcore in the process, while gaining a connection to metal partly due to the sheer heaviness. 

    A raft of creative experimentation that pushes beyond the realm of post-metal. And then of course, the very first thing that hits you is Amber Gardner's unbelievable, hypnotising vocals - as scary as a banshee while also intimate and persuasive. Amber means it for sure and almost dominates the proceedings.
    In short ‘Regeneration’ is a bold and startling debut, that will reward and enthral listeners the deeper they delve into its many layers.
