FOR FANS OF: KREATOR, , DESTRUCTION, ENFORCER, MERCYFUL FATE When your music is described as “more intense than a pitbull on crack,” you know you're doing something right.

For many years, a single used copy of their much sought-after six track EP has routinely sold for over $100, and in this age of downloading, that's no small sign of respect or credibility.Suspiciously little is known about ANTAGONIST. Since their disappearance in the mid- '90s, there have been no signs of life nor any internet presence. It would seem as though ANTAGONIST always knew to leave the world wanting more. Some people claim they still gig on the weekends... in Hell.ANTAGONIST's scorching debut with Damned And Cursed... To Life On Earth; including lyrics, archival photographs, an all-new retrospective band interview, plus a full live set recorded in 1993—all fully remastered by Jamie King at The Basement Studios. Or, to be more accurate, in the words of ANTAGONIST's Todd Tousey himself, "This is neither a reissue nor remaster, as it was never mastered the first time. This is the first official release actually; it only took Divebomb Records 22 years to make it happen."

The band laid its foundation performing a mix of covers and originals around area bars, eventually solidifying its lineup with David Osbourn on drums, Paul Starnes handling bass duties, and frontman Andrew "Tripp" Whittington. Drawing influences from an assortment of hard rock and metal—UFO, KISS, QUEENSRYCHE, IRON MAIDEN, , EXODUS, etc.—as well as their Christian metal predecessors such as STRYPER, DELIVERANCE, and TOURNIQUET; THEE FINAL CHAPTRE forged an explosively diverse sound centered around hard-charging guitar riffs, a locked-in rhythm section, and Whittington's soaring vocal prowess. This ultimately landed the group a deal with WEI Records for the release of their lone six-song album, It Is Written, in 1991. Sourced directly from the DAT master, the album has been digitally remastered alongside nine previously unreleased live bonus tracks; packaged with updated cover art by Steven Cobb, archival photographs straight from the band, and an all-new interview with founder Gary Wilson conducted by Olaf Becker.

It's a form of music that issues forth from the heart, the soul, and the gut. It can be an alchemical force that functions as a process of catharsis of need. What's more, few know more about the power of this music than Karl Simon, formerly of the titanic and much-respected Gates Of Slumber, and now of Wretch, whose debut carries on valiantly with the mission he began some eighteen years ago. For Fans of Trouble, The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, The Gates of Slumber, early Judas Priest, Cirith Ungol Heavy in sincerity and emotion rather than in pitch and tone, these gritty yet grandiose songs may follow in the lineage and spirit of classic crusaders like Saint Vitus, The Obsessed and Cirith Ungol, yet the eerily thundering 'Running Out Of Days' and the downcast yet groove-laden 'Icebound' reach pinnacles of soulful intensity and emotional resonance. Defiant against all adversity, this debut stands proud as a fiery testimony to an indomitable spirit, one finding its way with grace and honesty through the trials and travails of the everyday.

Limited Edition on black vinyl, ltd 200, insert ! DEMON BITCH is a traditional Heavy Metal band based out of Michigan, USA, with a taste for the strange and obscure realms of the genre. The history of the band dates back to 2011, when three longtime friends: Mars Weston, Logon Saton, and Samuel Ceckowski, came forth to cement their breed of Heavy Metal with their self titled 3-song demo, which was released in 2012. The line-up was promptly solidified with the integral addition of the second guitarist, Solon Saton, which allowed the group to play various live shows, and a US East Coast tour in 2013. In 2014, the complete line-up came forth with a follow-up to their demo, an EP titled "Death Is Hanging..." which was released by Dying Victims Productions in Europe and Evil Prevails Productions in Indonesia. A genuine love for the Hard and Heavy, from 80's legends of the underground such as MERCYFUL FATE, SATAN and ANGEL WITCH, to 70's Progressive and Hard Rock, provided a foundation for the band to stand upon, but it's the intangible inspiration of fantasy, camaraderie and the unknown, which sculpts the rare sounds by these Hellfriends of Demon Bitch.

What's more, few know more about the power of this music than Karl Simon, formerly of the titanic and much-respected Gates Of Slumber, and now of Wretch, whose debut carries on valiantly with the mission he began some eighteen years ago. For Fans of Trouble, The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, The Gates of Slumber, early Judas Priest, Cirith Ungol Heavy in sincerity and emotion rather than in pitch and tone, these gritty yet grandiose songs may follow in the lineage and spirit of classic crusaders like Saint Vitus, The Obsessed and Cirith Ungol, yet the eerily thundering 'Running Out Of Days' and the downcast yet groove-laden 'Icebound' reach pinnacles of soulful intensity and emotional resonance. Defiant against all adversity, this debut stands proud as a fiery testimony to an indomitable spirit, one finding its way with grace and honesty through the trials and travails of the everyday.

MAGAZINES

DEAF FOREVER #14 (NEW*GER METAL MAG*ASPHYX*SACRED STEEL*POSTER CANDLEMASS) - 6 €

Zwei markante Eisenschädel zieren das Cover unserer 14. Ausgabe – zwei Charakterköpfe der deutschen Heavy-Metal-Szene: Sacred Steel und Metal Inquisitor schickten ihre Sänger Gerrit Mutz und Rob Zerwas ins Rennen, um das “Gipfeltreffen der Headbanger” zu bestreiten.

Ebenfalls zwei markante Typen und sehr eigenwillige Charaktere sind die Holländer Urfaust. Sie luden unseren kränksten Mitarbeiter, Johannes Paul Köhler, zu einem Fläschchen Absinth ein… …während einer der letzten großen Rockstars unserer Szene, Dee Snider, uns in Hamburg empfing und mit sympathischer Großmäuligkeit Rede und Antwort stand.

Kann purer und unverfälschter sein als bei Asphyx? Wenn ihr Frank Deathbrecht fragt, lautet die Antwort: No way! Die Holländer (und ihr Koblenzer Drummer Husky) übertreffen sich mit fast jedem Album selbst - und belegen mit ihrem neuen Volltreffer “Incoming Death” die Pole Position in unserem Soundcheck.

Das seit Jahren wohl am meisten ersehnte Debütalbum im extremen Metal kommt aus der Schweiz: Bölzer veröffentlichen Ende November “Hero”, und bei uns erfahrt ihr die Details.

Normalerweise schreibt Oberkauz ja selbst im Deaf Forever. Diesmal wird er in seiner Funktion als eine Hälfte von von Götz interviewt - und gibt sich dabei durchgeknallt wie eh und je. Und mit “Arctic Thunder” hält er noch ein Album in der Hinterhand, auf das er zu Recht stolz ist. Es wird allerhöchste Zeit für Wishbone Ash: Manuel Trummer hat sich für den aktuellen “Earmageddon” die Väter der Twin-Guitars vorgeknöpft, die als größte Inspiration für einen gewissen Steve Harris gelten dürften. Allerdings wissen das viele immer noch nicht. Im Rahmen einer neuen Serie über die Szene in Deutschland stellen wir Euch im ersten Teil die sächsische Metal-Metropole Leipzig näher vor.

Weitere Interviews haben wir geführt mit 40 Watt Sun, Kai Hansen, Testament, Neurosis, Darkness, Airbourne, Ggu:ll, Schammasch, Vader, Kryptos, Imperial State Electric, Crowbar, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Forteresse, Khemmis, Subrosa, Insomnium, Disillusion, , Reds’cool, My Regime & Kayser sowie Witchwood.

Die bekannten Rubriken wie The Arts Of Destruction (diesmal mit dem spanischen Horror-Spezialisten Juanjo Castellano), The Dungeons Are Calling (u.a. mit Liquid Steel, Rival und Starlight), (u.a. mit Warfather, Blood Incantation und Laser Dracul), Maniac der Ausgabe und Forgotten Jewels liefern Euch wieder spezielle Typen, vielversprechende Newcomer und heiße Tipps. Zu den Schwerpunkten unserer Konzert- und Festivalrückblicke zählen diesmal u.a. das Party.San Open Air, Chaos Descends Festival, Headbangers Open Air, Summer Breeze, Prophecy Fest und die Weltturbojugendtage.

Massenhaft Tonträger-Reviews sind selbstverständlich, und zwei historisch wertvolle Poster spendieren wir Euch ebenfalls: Kauft Euch neuen Tapetenkleister für Candlemass’ “Epicus Doomicus Metallicus” und für ein geniales Livebild von Savage Master!
