About this product
Dark Meditation may hail from Seattle, but their sound is steeped in traditions associated with other corners of the globe-England's working-class cities, frosty Scandinavian towns, Southern California meccas of the '80s. Or as the band puts it, Dark Meditation sounds like the bastard amalgamation of Venom and Judas Priest fighting it out on the Sunset Strip while Danzig and King Diamond cheer them on. While such reference points may suggest a nexus of evil kitsch and arena-level theatrics, the band's debut album Polluted Temples comes from a place of down-and-out urgency and punk ethics, adopting the gloomy anthems and riff worship of heavy metal titans for their sonic exorcisms rather than their rock n' roll panache. It's an album that basks in big hooks, righteous guitar work, and an arena-level stomp without compromising any grit, grime, or guts. Side A01. Prelude02. Babalon. Money. Magick03. Haunt of Fear04.

Re-issue of the groundbreaking debut album With their groundbreaking debut album, Bethlehem gave name to an entire genre InchDark MetalInch.
Latest full-length album from U.S. black/death metal force Perdition Temple, led by Gene Palubicki (ex-Angelcorpse). Delivers the band's signature blend of chaotic, high-velocity blackened death metal, filled with razor-sharp riffing and relentless drumming.
Reissue 2024, ltd 300, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, insert, poster When Malédiction issued their »Condamnés« album on Brennus Music in 2001 (at the time exclusively on CD), reactions by the media and their hard core of fans was enthusiastic. However, traditional heavy metal went through a difficult phase at the beginning of the new millennium, so the band never got the credit they deserved, and disbanded a few years later after a second album entitled »Esclave Du Vice« (2004). Hailing from Laon in Northern France, Sylvain Mollard (guitar/vocals), Mathieu Poulain (guitar), Olivier Messaoui (bass) and Nicolas Mollard (drums) originally got together in September 1997. Starting off with a repertoire of cover versions by songs from Megadeth, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, they soon concentrated on writing their own material (sung in French). In November the same year, the foursome recorded their first demo tape in a hurry (during a two-day session) consisting of five tracks. Spurred on by positive reactions of the music press, Malédiction decided to re-record the five songs from the demo tape at Studio Val D'Orge between 15th and 24th of January 2021. Two brand new original compositions plus a cover version of InchLes Enfants de L'OmbreInch (by ADX) were added, and French tag Brennus Music consecutively opted to put out the album on compact disc. Musically, songs like InchLe Fils de SatanInch, InchLe Masque de FerInch or InchL'Ange NoirInch follow in the tradition of Blasphème, Sortilège, or ADX for that matter. The material falls into the category of mid-tempo heavy metal, with galloping riffs and catchy melodies. Singer Sylvain Mollard does a real good job with his melodic vocal style, as does lead guitarist Mathieu Poulain who quite obviously had listened to a lot of Randy Rhoads before he entered the recording studio. Unfortunately, the band which showed a lot of promi
