Limited to 200 units worldwide - back matte cardboard box flooded black inside with band logo and title hot foil stamped on the lid, and SR emblem hot foil stamped on the bottom. Cassettes inside come in clear cases with full-color j-cards, metallic ink shell prints, and download cards.
Backwater & Obsidian Katabasis is an exclusive limited edition casette tape boxset in only 200 units of Fuoco Fatuos's two most recent full-length albums: 2017's "Backwater" and the recent 2021 third album "Obsidian Katabasis", both issued by Profound Lore Records. With this exclusively crafted release both albums finally see the light for the first time ever on cassette format.
Italy's Fuoco Fatuo are an elusive entity in European extreme metal, creators of an aphotic and otherworldly strain of hallucinatory and ultra-suffocating funeral doom that has few equals around. Over the last few years both of these pachydermic albums have set a new standard of extremism and opened the gates to a completely unexplored realm of heaviness and sonic oppression that has established Fuoco Fatuo as one of the most cataclysmic and inhumanly crushing bands to have emerged in the European extreme metal underground in recent years.
Tracklisting:
1. Sulphureous Hazes
2. Rainfalls of Debris
3. Perpetual Apochaos
4. Nemesis
5. Obsidian Bulwark (Creation of the Absurd)
6. I
7. Thresholds of Nonexistence Through Eerie Aeon

German/Italian cave-dwelling sepulchral blackened death-doom primitives Nekus (formed by current and past members of Putridarium, Into Coffin, Hadit, Omnivore, and Bestial Warfare, among others) emerge with their hideous debut 2LP "Sepulchral Divination", over fifty minutes of aphotic, downtuned subsonic horror emanating from the wretched bowels of the abyss.Visit product page →
Comparable in sheer ugliness and inhumanity to other slowed down sepulchral death and doom metal abominations like Grave Upheaval, Moss, Anatomia, and Encoffination, Nekus are conjurors of a lightless subterranean realm somewhere between the pits of hell and the center of the earth where existence may assume horrific forms and where life as we know it is impossible.
Indeed this monstrous, fifty-plus minute crawling nightmare of horrid, telluric mummified death doom is not something of the plane of being or of surface-dwelling, air-breathing and light-needing existence.
Rather, a decomposing, lightless, sinkhole of putrefied sonic emanations opening an abyss unto the dimensions below the earth's crust, where eons of putrefaction, fossilization, gravitational crush depth and infernal magmatic upheaval perpetually beholds the inaccessible omnipotence of death and inexorably calls all surface life to it.

1. Nekyia
2. Eidolon
3. Phobos
4. Katabasis

The blood-freezing second full-length album from Swedish black/death industrial beast V:XII (pronounced and read "Five Twelve") adds a new urgency and dimension to the infamous underworld of Scandinavian evil martial dark ambient/industrial made famous by the legendary legacy of Cold Meat Industry and affiliated acts like Brighter Death Now, Mz.412, etc., and later, by its contemporary bastions like Nordvarg and Trepaneringsritualen.Visit product page →
The crushing new opus titled “LU-CIPHER-SABBATEAN” is a grueling listening experience that for thirty six minutes imposes complete submission upon the listener, drawing them into a wretched realm of majestic, deconstructed electronics and into an infernal dimension of utter darkness and dread. Perverse, violent and hallucinatory in its every aspect, “LU-CIPHER-SABBATEAN” conjures a lightless abyss of paranoia and ritualized insanity, as it unfolds an ominous concept on the conspiratorial mind devolved into to its worst and most deteriorated form, the religious one.
A sense of grim solemnity transpires from the album's ritualistic and almost liturgic pace, evoking a seething feeling of absolute evil as widescreen moments of abysmal dark ambience are violently lacerated by violent, spasmodic proclamations and by an onslaught of cold, bludgeoning martial rhythms and disembodied incantations.
Tracklisting:
1. Blood Strategies
2. True Unholy
3. Council of 13
4. Hivemind Nation

Lima, Peru-based deranged raw black metal cult Vulvanic join Sentient Ruin under the black banner of total violence and depravity to bring you a much-needed reissue of their two long sold out self-released demo tapes, 2019's "ブラックエンジェルの色合い" ("Scent of Black Angel), and "秘密の夜の殺人者" ("Ripper's Secret Night of Murder") remastered from the raw mixes by Will Killingswroth at Dead Air Studios, and graphically re-envisioned by the Violent Visual Shock art studio into a horrific forty-minute 12'LP and cassette tape compilation of violent, sadistic sonic abandon.Visit product page →
Formed by current and former members of Evil Spectrum, Tenebrion, Sordid, Obscure Evil, and Purgatorio, and infamous in their home country for erratic and unpredictable live shows entailing violence, butchered animals, sadism and self-harm, the rogue blood horde known as Vulvanic are creators of a demented and diseased form of schizoid raw black metal infested with punk, noise, and derailing psychedelia, the depravity and repulsiveness of which has few comparisons even in the darkest and most tabu dungeons of the underground.
Utterly deranged and horrifically disfigured, Vulvanic's music is even difficult to parce in its incomprehensible deformity, rising from a death-scarred dungeon and delivering hallucinatory and stomach churning visions of violence, squalor, sadism and depravity at a level unthinkable for any barely held together mind.
Their crippled and spastic audio-visual syncretism unites various deviancies from around the globe, particularly in the evident hardcore and raw punk aspect predominant in their music and reminiscent of transgressive cults from Japan like G.I.S.M., Zouo, G.A.T.E.S. and Zeni Geva, and inevitably also of the historic vanguard of Japanese devilish metal, namely Sabbat, Evil, Sigh, Abigail, and Manierism, as well as Japanese transgressive art and visuals and performance art as a whole. Other influences plaguing the band's deranged and putrid sound include of course the progenitors of pestilent emaciated black metal from Scandinavia (Darkthrone, Ildjarn), as well as infernal legends from the later period like Katharsis, Vlad Tepes and Negative Plane.
The final touches to Vulvanic's catastrophic repulsiveness are wholly intrinsic, coming from a place of personal inner torment, nihilism and self-loathing that has to be endured in its most violent and shocking manifestations to be even remotely fathomed.
