Gravety - Bow Down - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Väsen is the third album from Grá and it marks a new era. Free from the concept of the previous releases, Grá returns with an album more varied than ever and with the will to explore outside the borders of the narrow-minded so called black metal scene where most seem to have forgotten to include the part that makes it BLACK. In a time where many bands want to be compared with their idols, Grá walk a different path where exploration and breaking new grounds are the keystones. That is the greatest tribute to the past, to walk your own path and be a leader, not a follower of trends. Grá was founded in 2010 by Heljarmadr and Dimman. Two albums and numerous releases later it is now time for the third album, Väsen. It is also time to follow up on the previously successful tours around Europe, starting with the Eradication Festival in Cardiff, Wales in May 2018. Väsen was recorded during 2017 and 2018 at InchThe Grey StudiosInch, Stockholm. Re-mastered George Nerantzis Produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Heljarmadr Productions.

The amazing technical death metallers Structural are, after two successful European tours as support for InchSemblantInch and InchFleshgod ApocalypseInch, back with their sophomore album InchDecrownedInch. Structural delivers an intense and mind-blowing fist of technical death metal, adding layers of fantastic melody on top. Soaring riffs, violent rhythm patterns and the unmistakable deep growl from Nadav Zaidman combined, is balm for the soul of any death-metal lover out there and the extreme quality of the product simply cannot be ignored.

Swedish/American supergroup Pre-Human Vaults was founded by guitarist Ronnie Björnström (Solution.45, ex-Aeon) in 2012. Initially intended to combine the thrashier side of bands, such as early Metallica, Testament and Machine Head, with a more straightforward death metal-oriented sound, it later progressed into something else, but with that first notion still as the starting point. Even the PHV logo was a direct result of that first notion. Four songs were initially written, but it wasn't until 2014, when Ronnie was visited by American drummer Michael Gomez (ex-Black Plague) in his studio Garageland Studios, that the foundation and sound of the band came together. Gomez's aggressive, yet groovy playing style suited the songs perfectly and a collaboration was started. Shortly afterwards, Peter Nordin (ex-Meshuggah, Calipash) came to the studio and recorded bass on the songs, and a solid foundation was created. Ronnie then mixed the 4-song demo and sent it to Christian Älvestam, who is known for his aggressive singing style in bands such as Solution.45, Scar Symmetry, Unmoored and many others. Guitarist Patrik Gardberg (Torchbearer, ex-Solution.45, ex-Ammotrack) was asked to record solos on the songs, and as of then the band was 100% complete, but would be put on hold for a short amount of time
