Release Date: June 2, 2015
During their prolific first decade, the Tucson-based gloom metal trio NORTH released four acclaimed EPs and two well-received full-lengths in addition to playing nearly 300 shows across America with the likes of Deafheaven, Red Fang, Neurosis, Pelican and Intronaut. In 2015, the band's profile will continue to rise via reissues of their debut release "Siberia" (2006) and their most recent EP "Metanoia" (2014), which have been combined onto a single 12-track CD featuring unique reversible artwork.
Emerging out of the gloom comes Replica of a Strange Love - the new record from Wristmeetrazor. Illuminating the darkest corners of their every nightmare and representing a nihilistic plunge headfirst into an intoxicating mix of death, sin and romance. Replica of a Strange Love is a modern take on metalcore; building on the foundations of their past to leave a shimmering trail of visceral energy in their wake. The album is introspective one, utilizing the work of Nietzsche, Foucault, LaVey and more to make sense of human reactions and sociological phenomena specific to ongoing events. Hopeless romanticism is the past - personal philosophy is the present.
Release Date: July 28, 2017

The devastating debut album from visceral Manchester three-piece LEECHED. A caustic dystopia of chaotic hardcore, Nasum-precision grind and a menacing atmospheric undercurrent akin to early Godflesh. Following on from their self-released EP ˜Nothing Will Grow From The Rotten Ground™ earlier in 2018, the band will hit the road with Employed To Serve in July and Full Of Hell in August, building up to the release of œYou Took The Sun When You Left

With a combination of sledgehammer breakdowns and brutal lyrical misanthropy, the Acacia Strain™s fifth album, Wormwood, is a lesson in focused hostility. Seemingly unconcerned with dazzling the listener with lightning-fingered guitar wizardry or insane blastbeats, the Acacia Strain is like a speeding heavy metal freight train, an inelegant and unstoppable juggernaut fueled by memories of the unchecked aggression unleashed on the world by the likes of Sepultura and Pantera. Subtle is not a watchword here. Those looking for patient buildups and intricately structured harmonies to stroke their beards to will find themselves disappointed. Instead, Wormwood is an album that™s almost unapologetically blunt, painting a portrait of a mosh pit in big broad strokes. And that™s really what it boils down to. This is an album that™s designed to fuel the fire until the only option left is catharsis, making for an album that™s sure to destroy the kids in the pit, but isn™t going to be your first choice for something to kick back and unwind with.- ALLMUSIC

Formed in 2009, the Swiss group SCHAMMASCH combines a forward approach to modern black metal, articulating their extreme roots with doom-laden atmospherics dredged with Hermetic mysticism. The band, whose name derives from Babylonian sun god Samaš, signed to Prosthetic in 2014 to release "Contradiction," which Metal Hammer lauded as "one of the most overwhelming albums of the year...cerebral and utterly absorbing." Now, Prosthetic proudly reissues SCHAMMASCH's 2010 debut opus "Sic Lvceat Lvx," which translates from Latin to "Let the Light Shine." Consisting of seven hypnotic, cinematic tracks, the album -- which, until now, has only been available as a limited-edition CD release in select European countries -- has been freshly remastered by V. Santura (Celtic Frost, Triptykon), with glorious new artwork by Valnoir (The Black Dahlia Murder, Behemoth).
Though long time residents of Virginia™s storied screamo and DIY scene, the Richmond-based collective known as .gif from God have embedded themselves within the system of hardcore punk and extreme metal, spreading an encrypted message of social injustice and impending collapse through their calculated blend of grind and metalcore absurdity.

Distinctly Scandinavian; the band fuses the driving rhythms unique to the best of Swedish forward-thinking hardcore whilst preserving the venom of their punk scene alongside the heaviness of the country™s finest. But it™s in the song-writing that HORNDAL really excel; effortlessly weaving their narrative of urban decay into their dynamic and immediate fist-to-the-face anthems.
˜Remains™ tells the true horror story of the devil™s destruction of their hometown of Horndal in the 1970™s. A small, industrial centre found amongst the woods of Sweden - the steel mill which was the lifeblood of the community was threatened with closure. This was dramatised in protest as social allegory and depicted the devil casting his shadow over the town to send their exploited workers to an early grave. Sadly, the story came true¦the livelihood of the people was indeed closed down and the town was left for dead. Long live Horndal.
This debut album follows on from their warmly received debut EP, which they recorded with the legendary Steve Albini (Big Black / Shellac). Leading into the new record, HORNDAL have played across Scandinavia with the likes of The Bronx and Victims, amongst others.

Australian one-man band Nekrasov continues to orbit between the two poles of Power Electronics and Black Metal, but the singular focus on otherworldliness remains consistent, and while the experience is challenging to the utmost, it is also ultimately rewarding.
For over 20 years, Nekrasov has managed to produce a furious and manic sound while experimenting with a broad spectrum of avant-garde techniques beginning with his first release, Into The No-Man's Sphere Of The Ancient Days in 2007. With ambient and industrial elements colliding against his black-metal roots along with abstract vocals that approach the noise of the guitar, Nekrasov has carved out and created his own niche and cult following.
The Mirror Void tracklisting: 1. Whatever pleases you, keeps you back 2. Fragmentation and the rapid quicksand of concept 3. And that you think yourself to be! Such deceit! 4.

Prosthetic debut LP from TX hardcore punks, Amygala. Our Voices Will Soar Forever is an album about the non-linear progression of healing, the twisted ways abuse can linger in our psyche, and take control over the ways we navigate life. Vocalist Bianca Quiñones confronts nihilism in her shrilling screams as she begins the record with a song that asks about the emptiness of life, the chaos and the tragedy. With its melodic instruments trucking alongside Quiñones™ powerful grasps for meaning in the violent hollowness of existence, the record encapsulates the deeply terrifying nature of living as a victim of rape and abuse. In classic Amygdala style, each song never stays in one genre, but slowly transitions from traditional melodic hardcore, to a heavier, sludgier, black-metal inspired sound to standard hardcore punk. Each song is an entire emotional journey, each lyric a revelation. This album is about the war traumatized folks, especially marginalized folks, are part of. QuiÅ„ones rages against their mental illness, their abuser(s), and all the pain inflicted on them in their childhood and throughout their life.
Release Date: July 14, 2017
Minneapolis dwellers Cole Benson, Chad Padelford and Tim Leick first got together in 2013 playing instrumental post rock. It wasn™t long after that the three™s influences of Eyehategod and the Melvins, Boris and Tool & Evoken and Mournful Congratulation began to manifest naturally through their music creating a more sonically cathartic endeavor.
By Fall of 2016, the band began work on their debut album, Beneath This Shroud, The Earth Erodes. The political climate of that time, combined with various struggles each member had, helped create and extremely dark, extremely moody and heavy and angry sounding album. Bassist, Chad Padelford remarks, œwhile each of us dealt with personal strife and success we found solace coming together to spill out what we had bottled up.
