About this product

Entropy formed in Brampton, Ontario, Canada in 1989 after ex-members of a band called AFTERMATH - Ger Schreinert (vocals), Aldo Arbitrante (guitar), and Steve Maclaren (bass) - hooked up with guitarist Dan Lauzon through an ad in the Toronto Sun, before bringing in drummer Darren Foster. By 1991, the group was tracking it's first demo at Future Sound Studio (Sacrifice, Razor, Slaughter, etc.) with the immediate goal of putting forth a limitless brand of technical and progressive metal drawing influence from any number of subgenres-power, thrash, death, etc.Prior to 1992 industry demo Machine's Way, guitarist Arbitrante stunningly took over behind the drum kit, performing double duty to mind-blowing effect for years to come. Then, with Maclaren out, Lauzon and Arbitrante also performed all of the bass tracks on full-length debut, Ashen Existence. Tracked at the Metalworks (TRIUMPH, KICK AXE, INFERNÄL MÄJESTY, etc.) in September of 1992, the album was viewed as such a step forward that Entropy destroyed all remaining copies of their demos upon it's completion. Opting to avoid the overbearing recording/licensing contracts of the era, the band decided to self- in order to retain proper ownership of their output.Despite the changing landscape of metal circa 1992, Ashen Existence would rightfully go on to become an absolute cult classic-a unique masterpiece of complex, forward-thinking, death-tinged thrash that in-the-know listeners have championed through fanzines and online for decades. From well-honed melodies to neck-breaking grooves and an equally wide array of vocal acrobatics, Ashen Existence remains intriguingly diverse and full of unexpected twists and turns.Therefore, Divebomb Records is elated that Entropy has agreed to partner with the tag for this 2×CD 30th anniversary edition of the legendary Ashen Existence - expanded to present both the 1991 and 1992 demos;

Ashen Relic - Prelude to Eternal Night   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Blazing out of Portland, Oregon, ASHEN RELIC brings forth a complex yet crushing metal attack spawning from influences such as SLAYER, (early) FATES WARNING, (early) METALLICA, (early) IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, ANTHRAX, (early) MEGADETH, DESTRUCTION, CANNIBAL CORPSE, KREATOR, and MERCYFUL FATE. With both agression and progression, screaming guitars, crushing drums and a vocal style that's all attitude, ASHEN RELIC blends Old School Thrash Metal with Hard Core Punk (imagine a marriage of SLAYER and POISON IDEA) with a touch of a progressive edge (ala early FATES WARNING)that leaves you wanting more! Ashen Relic's first full length CD, Prelude to Eternal Night features 9 tracks of face melting new material, as well as two live videos of the band inclusive of performing material from their 2004 self-titled Demo. Metal Forever! Album Tracks 1. Earn Your Hate 2. Prometheus Unbound 3. Eye 4. Podmoz 5. Powerlust 6. Thief of Souls 7. Media Whore 8. Struggle 9. Align

Silvertomb - Edge Of Existence   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Formed in the wake of Type O Negative and Seventh Void, Silvertomb is the latest musical endeavor of Kenny Hickey (Type O Negative, Seventh Void), Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative, Danzig) and Hank Hell (Seventh Void, Inhuman). This time teaming up with New York hardcore veteran Joseph James (Agnostic Front, Inhuman) on guitar and Aaron Joos (Awaken The Shadow, Empyreon) on keys, guitar, and backing vocals, the band builds on musical influences like Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath to form a bone crushing, mind blowing, sonic journey into the underbelly of human emotion. The concept of Edge of Existence explores Hickey's personal struggles with addiction, love, and suicide, and the death of his singer/frontman Peter Steele in 2010 and subsequent disbandment of Type O Negative. Album Tracks 1. Insomnia/Sunrise 2. Love You Without No Lies 3. So True 4. Not Your Savior 5. One of You 6. Right of Passage/Crossing Over 7. Eulogy/Requiem 8. Sleeping on Nails and Wine 9. Waiting
