Sumerian Tombs - Age Of Eternal Night - CASSETTES

In 2007, Sacred Bones Records founder Caleb Braaten started unearthing rare and little-heard post-punk, deathrock and dark punk tracks for an eventual compilation. Bands from all over the world are represented on the comp, from the relatively well-known Scots in Twisted Nerve to the Inchcompletely un-GoogleableInch Move from Italy, with a vast spectrum of American and European bands in between.

Total Annihilation will celebrate the band's 20th anniversary year with the of their fourth full-length InchMountains of MadnessInch. This album delivers all the Swiss precision and trademark elements their following has come to expect of them but also with more of everything more tempo and serious speed, more brutality, more power, more thrash, more death but also more harmonies, more melodies, and more musicality! There are also more tentacles, more jaws, more razor-sharp teeth, more twisted mutation, and definitely more evil! InchMountains of MadnessInch is conceived as an echo of and a bold manifesto about the state of the world as well as an artistic sign of our time. Back in the year 2006 things looked less bleak when a bunch of young musicians were just looking for some good times. Vocalist Daniel Altwegg had joined forces with three of his friends and a hot desire to simply form the hardest, loudest, and rawest metal band of their Swiss home, the City of Basel. After a phase of stylistic experiments, the band settled for an aggressive yet melodic course that combined elements of death and thrash metal. For all of those who are sick and tired of hearing the same stuff all over again, Total Annihilation offer the perfect cure with InchMountains of MadnessInch simply more of everything!

The famous Ruhr Area, or the 'Pott' as it is called, was Germany's industrial heart that beat to the sound of steelworks and miners were risking their health and lives deep down in the eternal night of the coal seams. The Ruhr Area is also the place where Resurrected hail from, both mentally and physically, and it's history has served as an important part of the inspiration that is driving the brutal death veterans' eighth full-length InchPerpetualInch. Ash, soot, and the ringing noise of steel hammers seem particularly fertile ground for metal - from BLACK SABBATH via JUDAS PRIEST to KREATOR and SODOM. On InchPerpetualInch, Resurrected keep a steady course, which remains firmly on an old school death metal trajectory. This is completely befitting for a band that ranks among the earliest pioneers of the brutal style in their country. What makes the difference are the many years of experience, both in songwriting and on stage, which are reflected in the technical proficiency as well as the powerful and absolutely crushing tracks that are a tribute to their craft on this album. Resurrected spent a large part of 2025 channelling their decades of experience, talent, and unwavering passion for death metal into InchPerpetualInch Resurrected did not grow old, they got even better!
