Limited to 150 copies. ILLDISPOSEDs "Kokaiinum" on vinyl. For the first time ever! This cutting-edge album in ILLDISPOSEDs discography has raised controversy because of its artwork that was not what people expected from a death metal band back at that time. The Danish death metal squad continued its path without making compromises back in 2001, 16 years ago. Now this crazy output paves its way onto black wax. This high quality vinyl edition brought to you by Supreme Chaos Records features: - 180g heavy vinyl for maximum quality and durability - heavy 425gsm cover - heavy matte high quality printed insert - antistatic polylined inner sleeve - "I Love Vinyl" sticker - handnumbered limited editions Record Label: Supreme Chaos Style: Metal

Where is it written that there may only be one Big Bang? In Summer 2015, to the day 13,8 billion years after the first one, The Universe By Ear have initiated another big boom. Since that day basses tear black holes into space, drums dart like unstoppable comets through zero gravity and guitars paint stripes of fire on the horizon. Three bold and daring musicians fom Basel/Switzerland have gartered for this mission, to lead rock to places no one has ever set foot before: a complex, colourful, suprising, hard and melodic landscape in a cosmos, in which improvised freefall and structured form coexist peacefully. Fasten your seatbelts, because we are off to explore The Universe By Ear! Record Label: Czar Of Revelations Style: Progressive Rock

Mythra is one these N.W.O.B.H.M. bands that defined modern metal even though they had released only one EP. The full of energy and adrenaline compositions, the cult status, the hard to find copies and mostly the speed element that was something innovating and mostly influential for the back then new generation on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean made Mythra, amongst others, something like proto-speed band that gave birth to thrash Metal after a couple of years. The majority of my generation actually heard for the first time Mythra’s songs in 1998 when ‘Death And Destiny’ LP was released via British Steel Records, a time certainly before the real revival of N.W.O.B.H.M. that takes hold for almost a decade right now. But the band was originally formed 20 years ago, in South Shields England in 1978. Their mythical EP entitled ‘Death And Destiny’ (originally pressed in 1979 by Guardian Records and re-pressed by Street Beat Records in 1980) it is rumored to be pressed in 20,000 copies (sold out), a number definitely remarkable if it is true. In 2003, an unreleased album entitled ‘The Darkener’ that was never really meant to be released in the first place as the songs were never recorded professionally and it is actually a collection of demos that have been circulated to a lucky few worldwide, was the only time we ever heard something from Mythra. So ‘Still Burning’ is literally their debut full length almost 40 years after their formation! Once again, as in many bands from their glory days, the combination anthology album and participation on a revival/nostalgic festival was the sign that Mythra are coming with new recordings! In 2015, Mythra performed live at Newcastle’s Brofest and the Keep It True festival in Germany and this was followed by the release of ‘Warriors Of Time’, an anthology which featured many of their of classic tracks recorded between 1979 and 1982 along with five new songs written and recorded in June/July 2015. Fast forward to 2017 that the band travelled to Poland and worked with Bart Gabriel, a producer that really helped them to create a really strong album. As in Cloven Hoof last release (both via High Roller Records) the production is clean and modern and reminds me of Saxon’s and Accept’s last albums -after 2010-. Mythra have reformed with mostly original members something that gives them a unique bond. Still their ace up the sleeve is the fresh air that the new songs have. It doesn’t sound old school or traditional even if there’s a classic metal aura here and there on ‘Still Burning’. Actually there’s an energy on the songs that makes you wonder which the real age of the band members is. The album is guitar driven, lead by excellent riffs and solos that stick to your mind. Highlights the opener title track, ‘A Call To All’ (excellent N.W.O.B.H.M. hymn), ‘Ride The Storm’, ‘Victory Song’ and the closer ‘Fundamental Extreme’ that links the 2003 recorded songs with the band’s present.

The road through the morass is cumbersome, filthy, sometimes even devious and equally lined with grief and rage. By what dread these four NRWs have gone, one can only guess in the face of these six powerful, tonal negations. Beautifulness is a foreign word. With extremely reduced riffing and mainly downtempo-acting thunder drums, the gentlemen L., F., R., and J. inevitably pull the listener into the depth, from which one either returns cleaned or strengthened or remains mentally evasive. Nevertheless, in their musical histories they seem to be sympathetic at the same time when the three famous "Black Sabbath" tones hide in "Loss". In addition, the character transformation of "Sakkryfyced" is definitely something else - can not always be only "trve" ... (sw) Record Label: Van Records Style: Doom Metal

Don't panic - despite the all-caps title, Bitch Queens has definitely not mutated into a bunch of hippie sluts. With ,Anti-Social" this record kicks off like a whip and an outstretched middle finger. The ,Go Fuck The World" in the chorus is just the beginning of a series of filthy commands. Political Correctness is not their way of life, as is made abundantly clear in their disguised Band-Hymn ,R-Rated". But foul language and loud guitars go hand in hand and are just so frickin' liberating. Men, women, women-men: they're all bitches at heart. And the self-proclaimed Queens of them all have produced eleven hard-assed and sweetly exhilarating songs that call for celebration - one love, in Bitch Queens fashion. Featuring Peter Pan Speedrock guitarist Peter van Elderen on ,Collateral Damage" and the two asskickin' ladies from ,Delilahs" with some sweet background vocals on ,Naked Or Denim", ,Deadbeat Generation" and ,B-Stock Babies".
