BOKLUK - Taphonomy (CD)
In our endless quest to push and support underground acts that deliver the goodies unaware of trends and hypes, weґre proud to release "Taphonomy", the debut full-length by Spainґs Bokluk. Formed back in 2007 and comprised of past and current members of bands such as Nashgul, Noitйbrega, Blackgoat and Devil Inside, Bokluk are all about putrid, gimmick-free and anachronistic Death Metal with old Grindcore/Crust overtones, rancid growls and a strong penchant to write tunes that would raise the dead, drawing their influences from bands like Nihilist/Entombed, Obituary, Autopsy, Repulsion, Grave, Incantation, Impetigo, Dismember, Wolfpack, Carnage, Master, early Death, Doom, Terrorizer, Purtenance, Disrupt and early Napalm Death. Mastered by Javier Felez @ Moontower Studios and featuring some brilliant artwork and layout by Cesar Valladares, "Taphonomy" is a rabid and fierce enough album to set new levels in terms of sheer sickness in the realm of grinding Death Metal. Open the graves and inhale the stench of the decomposing!!!
FUNEST - Desecrating Obscurity (CD)
The crushing debut full-length from this Italian ensemble of devoted death metalheads. Formed back in 2012 and seasoned in other Italian Death and Doom Metal bands, Funest take pride in keeping the ancient, putrid and uncompromising Death Metal flame alive via crushing and memorable riffs, monstruous growls and a tight-as-fuck rhythm section, that will definitely appeal to fans of bands like Nihilist/Entombed, Death, Grave, Autopsy, God Macabre, Asphyx, Crematory, Carnage and Massacre. Featuring a jaw-dropping artwork and layout by the talented artist Cesar Valladares, and guest vocals by Johan Jansson (Interment, Regurgitate, Uncanny, ex-Centinex, ex-Demonical, ex-Fulmination, ex-Uncurbed…) on two songs, "Desecrating Obscurity" is the first yet solid step of a band that will definitely find their own place in the current Death Metal underground scene very soon. Donґt say you weren’t warned!!!
