News von Dying Victims Productions - Into Darkness, Jordsjo, Torpor, Witching Hour, Baphomet's Blood

[DocHolle]

Auf jeden Fall, war erstaunt und erfreut, hätte ich irgendwie nicht bei DVP erwartet. Speziell das zweite Album von The Riven ist richtig feiner Stoff!

Wo deren Act 1 gerade läuft - Was war denn mit Dun Ringill los bei The Sign?

Die Act 1 hat sich irrsinnig verspätet. Ursprünglich war das Release für die Tour mit Pentagram gedacht. Da war ich auf der Show im August 23. angekündigt war der LP Verkauf auf der Tour. Aber The Sign konnte nicht liefern. Gut, kann passieren also direkt bei The Sign bestellt. Dann Ewigkeiten nichts gehört. Keine News, keine Begründung, auf Rückfragen wurde gar nicht geantwortet, weder per Mail noch auf Facebook. Die Band wusste auch nichts über den Verbleib der LPs. März 2024 oder so hatte die Band dann die LPs, meine Version von The Sign wurde
dann kommentarlos im Mai 2024 verschickt.

Und das Release von Act 2 wurde jetzt ja auch schon mehrfach verschoben. Im März gibt es ja schon die zweite Release Show. Die erste war irgendwann im Oktober oder so.

Klingt wie meine Erfahrung mit Avantgarde, dem italienischen Label. Mit dem Unterschied, dass anscheinend die verspätet ausgelieferte Platte tatsächlich verschickt wurde - nur nicht an mich (hatte nahezu direkt nach Ankündigung vorbestellt). Die kam dann erst beim Repress. Zusätzlich unterirdische Kommunikation (immer erst auf mehrmaliges Nachfragen, dann nur inhaltsarme 3-Wort-Sätze). Als "Entschuldigung" wurde ein Code beigelegt - für einen Nachlass um -15 %, wenn man erneut dort bestellt. Aber erst ab 60 € und auch nur innerhalb von 6 Wochen. Komplett daneben

Dass das zusätzlich bestellte Longsleeve qualitativ so dünn ist wie Backpapier, kommt dann noch dazu.

Dying Victims Productions is proud to announce the following new releases:

DVP 318 Mean Mistreater – Do or Die LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MEAN MISTREATER’s highly anticipated second album, Do or Die, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Hot on the heels of their heralded debut album, Razor Wire – originally self-released in early 2023, but released internationally by DYING VICTIMS later that summer – MEAN MISTREATER return with their second full-length, Do or Die. Their debut served as a declaration of intent, showcasing a sound that is both feral and refined. Rejecting the confines of conventional labels like “female-fronted” or “NWOTHM,” MEAN MISTREATER here assert their identity as a powerful collective, committed to pushing the boundaries of traditional heavy metal. With their uncompromising attitude and undeniable skill, they stand out in a crowded genre, ready to carve out their own place in the heavy metal landscape.

The songwriting is largely unchanged on Do or Die – classic metal melded with retro hard rock, with foremost influences being Warlock, Chastain, and early W.A.S.P. – but MEAN MISTREATER’s execution is off the charts here. Urgent, passionate, like street-walking cheetahs with hearts full of napalm, the Texas natives fire off one rough ‘n’ ready anthem after another here, keeping that songwriting short / sharp / shocked. Indeed, it’s difficult to find a record this concise – eight songs in 27 minutes – that also feels so complete. It’s fair to say, then, that this blazing band is firing on every cylinder as they ascend the traditional metal ladder, leaving audiences hungry for more of their unapologetic sound and intoxicating live shows.

Proving that they’re no flash in the pan, with Do or Diedo MEAN MISTREATER continue to build on their early success, delivering the intense and captivating music that fans have come to expect from them.

DVP 319 Scumripper – For a Few Fixes More LP /CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SCUMRIPPER’s highly anticipated second album, For a Few Fixes More, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Headsplit Records have released the CD and cassette tape editions for North America.

Finland’s degraded fiends SCUMRIPPER are finally back. For almost a decade, they’ve witnessed the world burn through a sewer hole and felt the slime gather in their burnt-to-a-fuck throats. Now they are ready to rip out your spines with their sophomore album, For a Few Fixes More.

Following 2019’s All Veins Blazing debut, with the band’s reputation as an uncompromising live act fully established, the power trio of vocalist/guitarist Rat Pitt, drummer Son Stalker, and bassist Cliff Hunger return with the comparably epic For a Few Fixes More. Indeed, with the runtime padded out to 28 minutes, SCUMRIPPER prove they’re still able to (quickly) kick out nasty, sewer-drenched jams, but they’re also able to get kicking in many more ways than before. Whereas most of the debut album’s tracks topped out at two minutes, most of the nine songs here on LP#2 outdistance such a short length, with the penultimate coming in “I Cum Pain,” a five-minute menace of haunting, lurking trudge. Likewise, SCUMRIPPER have come to maximize their catchiness of yore, compelling both immediate headbanging and memorability. If anything, such influences as Impetigo, Midnight, and even Negative Approach have asserted themselves more fully on For a Few Fixes More, making for metalpunk that’s more street-level – and more unique in an increasingly crowded subgenre.

Just when you thought they may have ended up in the nearest gutter, SCUMRIPPER are performing a long-awaited autopsy with integrity on the modern world. For a Few Fixes More is the crossover album no one saw coming: perfect death-thrashing punk rock for the end times.

DVP 320 Sinner Rage – Powerstrike LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SINNER RAGE’s highly anticipated debut album, Powerstrike, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Making their public debut with a self-titled demo in early 2024, SINNER RAGE thrust themselves into the present with a sound wholly built on the past: pure and total HEAVY METAL during the genre’s ‘80s heyday. Wasting no time defending the faith, the Spaniards return a full year later with their debut album, Powerstrike.

Truly titled, Powerstrike is an pitch-perfect throwback to the days when heavy metal supremacy were ruled by the likes of Judas Priest, Saxon, Queensrÿche, and Crimson Glory. Moving at a disarmingly relaxed strut, SINNER RAGE convey charisma and simple-yet-assured POWER during every second of this short & sweet tome. The hooks are heavy and headbanging, but the quartet exhibit a keen knack for spacious, almost-atmospheric dynamics; the riffing hits even harder when coming back from those quieter moments, and frontman Aritz Martinez’s pipes likewise sound even silkier. Some would simply qualify that as a further (and seamless) extension of old-days metal values, before speed and energy overload took over, and they’d not be wrong.

Whatever way you approach it, Powerstrike will send shivers of déjà vu through every soul who’s ever bled for metal, but make no mistake: SINNER RAGE are absolutely authentic to the bone, no matter the calendar year!

DVP 321 Armory – Black Star 7″

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from Sweden’s ARMORY, Black Star, on 7” vinyl format. The EP is a co-release with Jawbreaker Records.

Out of the deep void in the far corners of the universe, the entity known as ARMORY was born in the year 2012 C.E. With the guiding light of the fiery stars Judas Priest, Agent Steel, and Slayer, ARMORY set out on a cosmic path delivering hyper-speed metal to every planet, system, and galaxy in their path. Their two first albums, World Peace… Cosmic War (2016) and The Search (2018), were released via High Roller Records, garnering ever greater reviews.

Under the new flag of DYING VICTIMS, ARMORY’s third album, Mercurion, was unleashed during the spring of 2022 and followed by a European tour in 2023. This further cemented that ARMORY are a force to be reckoned with on the intergalactic battleground.

ARMORY’s upcoming operations are set in motion, and the next chapter starts with the deployment of the two-song EP Black Star in February 2025 C.E. Featuring two brand-new and exclusive songs – the title track on side A, and “Solar Winds“ on side B – ARMORY deliver a rapid barrage of hyper-speed metal with influences and feelings from the dark, cold void that engulfs us all. It’s immediately, recognizably ARMORY, but this EP displays with breathless brevity that the band are handily transcending their not-inconsiderable past and setting the cosmic stage for glory of a most universal nature, all of which will be revealed on their next full-length for DYING VICTIMS later in 2025!

DVP 331 Sexmag – Sexorcyzm LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present SEXMAG’s highly anticipated debut album, Sexorcyzm, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Possessed night. Full moon. A disgusting corpse digs its rotting body out of a cold grave. Twisted death will soon attack for the second time, forcing the metalheads to bang their heads.

Thus comes the full-length arrival of SEXMAG, appropriately titled Sexorcyzm. If 2021’s Sex Metal lewdly introduced these Polish degenerates to the international metal underground – a full 25 minutes of caustic & careening sound, drawing equal strength from ‘80s proto-black metal and the vilest thrash – then this 39-minute debut album will decisively blow open the gates to Hell. Whereas that mini-album sounded like the most garaged old New Renaissance release left rotting in the sun and covered in black-candle wax, here do SEXMAG up the evil and sharpen their still-rusty attack, expursing sodomy and total desaster across this Sexorcyzm. This monster of dead Silesia and his four servants unleash a hell-load of Total Metal – worshiping Satan and summoning the old spirits of Sarcófago, Tormentor, Bulldozer and Destruction. The sensation of OLD drapes everything about Sexorcyzm: sorcerous songwriting, vintage analog recording, just enough gutter reverb, and an all-encompassing atmosphere of the supernatural and sexual. You already know if this is for you, or whether you need to promptly leave the hall.

Feel invited into the darkest medieval tale, full of unholiness, perversion, and absolute horror. Tragic black magic will cast a spell on you and force you to keep Metal Total or die: SEXMAG have invoked their Sexorcyzm!

DVP 332 Fly! – …or Die! LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Australia’s FLY!, …or Die! , on CD and vinyl LP formats.

FLY! is a fast and mean rock ‘n’ roll machine from Melbourne. Emerging from the darkest depths of the Aussie wastelands, FLY! united with a singular vision: to play fast, loud, and mean rock ‘n’ roll, harkening back to the raw power of 1970s and early ‘80s rock. Inspired by the likes of Motörhead, Judas Priest, and AC/DC, FLY! are a rough ‘n’ rowdy amalgam of their influences, and then some!

Formed in 2023, FLY! blasted onto the Australian rock scene, playing up and down the east coast and leaving a trail of destruction (and empty beer cans) in their wake. 2024 saw the release of FLY!’s dangerous debut demo with a string of blistering national performances to follow, seeing FLY! share the stage with the likes of the Cosmic Psychos, Cancer Bats, and heavy metal brethren (and now-labelmates) AARDVARK, among many others.

With two songs reprised from that demo, the quartet now present their first full-length, …or Die! Wasting not a whole minute as they ride “Into the Wasteland”, these road warriors take flight across the 11-track / 39-minute album: a no-holds-barred love letter to speed, desert highways, murderous marauders and relentless riffs. Lean, mean and unclean, their high-speed, raw-power rock ‘n’ roll kicks out the jams with judicious efficiency. There’s no overthinking these desert-wasteland anthems; you simply hop on and go, go, go! FLY!’s vicious, high-speed rock explores themes such as weapons, beer, homicidal maniacs, and the power of acceleration! And while not overtly retro-oriented, there’s an authentically late ‘70s feel to …or Die!, from the just-distorted-enough guitar tones, the crash ‘n’ bash rhythms, and especially the songwriting itself: juiced up like Bomber, strutting like Stained Class, sleazy like Powerage. Add in a touch of mid ‘70s Thin Lizzy and a punk-and-proud attitude like Zeke – or hell, even spiritual cues to their homeland’s rich tradition of garage rock – and you’re left with no choice: FLY! …or Die!

DVP 333 Hellcrash – Inferno Crematörio LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HELLCRASH’s highly anticipated third album, Inferno Crematörio, on CD and vinyl LP.

You wouldn’t have guessed it early on, but HELLCRASH would eventually – and patiently – refine their ancient attack, relatively “cleaning up” something still unclean. When they formed in 2013, a debut album was still a way off, but when it landed in 2021 on vinyl via DYING VICTIMS, Krvcifix Invertör proved HELLCRASH were a power-trio in the grand tradition of domestic legends Bulldozer, brewing a similarly sleazy (and EVIL) style of speed metal. And yet, despite another OTT cover suggesting otherwise, their second album announced that there was MUCH more brewing in HELLCRASH’s cauldron. Released in 2023, Demonic Assassination saw a fine-tuning of songcraft and a polishing of production that paid off in spades, now nodding more to later GBH, Carnivore, and Warfare.

Alas, a dozen years after their formation, HELLCRASH have pulled off the impossible and refined this attack even further with LP#3, Inferno Crematörio. Of course, another totally OTT cover graces the album, and somehow it makes absolute sense with where HELLCRASH are now going. Whereas its predecessor took various routes – sometimes more speed metal, other times more thrash, or even metalpunk before it was such a thing, often all in the same song – Inferno Crematörio sees a streamlining of their songcraft and a “deftening” of sensibilities, where energy is retained and even doubled through more dynamic playing and indeed an emphasis on dynamics itself. By and large, HELLCRASH here sound their most blackened, but “blackened” in the sense of evil thrash and speed metal imbued with more atmosphere: not “spooky” in the kooky sense, but definitely more sulfurous and sinful, brimming with a sense of space that sounds huge and intimate simultaneously. Likewise, the trio exhibit a newfound charisma that (spit)shines through this sulfurous surge, like Satan laughing as he spreads his wings. That everything’s not 666% overdrive all the time ably benefits these ten tracks – and concluding with 10-minute(!) epic in “Templars’ Curse” – resulting in a more thoroughly headbanging, maybe-medieval, and immediately memorable listen. And, truth be told, perhaps HELLCRASH’s best record yet…but only time will tell.

In the meantime, maniacs for such ‘90s icons like Zemial and Germany’s Desaster or especially such esteemed labelmates as NOCTURNAL, BLACKEVIL, and HEXECUTOR, you’re hereby commanded to reap the hellish bounty of HELLCRASH’s Inferno Crematörio!

DVP 334 Animalize – Verminateur LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to (finally!) present the unexpected second album of the ANIMALIZE frenchies, Verminateur, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

At last, the second wind of youth is blowing for “French Heavy Metal” – and, to be honest, not a moment too soon. It took just over 40 years for France to finally have its own heavy shock-rock band, ANIMALIZE: a name you may already have seen on some French and German lineup events over the last four years.

“Who do these extroverts think they are, sporting outrageous outfits with harnesses and chains? Brandishing a chainsaw and a katana in the middle of a concert, then vomiting blood all over the audience? Really?!” Yes, really.

Year 2025. ANIMALIZE are back with a new full-length, Verminateur – but this time, entirely in French, at the request of maniacs since their first record, 2020’s Tales From the Crypt EP. If their Meat We’re Made Of debut album in 2022 showed the visible part of the iceberg, then Verminateur displays the true sound of the band, pushing the boundaries! That celebrated first full-length might’ve seen the band evince a sort of restless genius – speed metal synthesized with power-thrash and traditional metal into a dizzying-yet-addicting blend, jumping across countries and even continents with insane ease – but on Verminateur, ANIMALIZE lock into a lazer-sighted focus that sees them making good on the anthemic side of things they only hinted at before. Mostly mid-tempo, strutting and cruising with charisma, nearly all of the album’s ten tracks (barring a one-minute synthy & cinematic “Invasion” and the dramatic piano piece “Prière de Remords”) hit that heavenly balance between buoyant hook and heavy thrust, between rock-god maximalism and back-street mischief. It’d not be inaccurate to say some of the tracks could’ve been on MTV circa 1985…if that channel aired in France. And when ANIMALIZE wanna rip forth in speed metal mode, they do so with a streamlined power that’s a marvel to behold. Oh, and the all-French lyrics simply make Verminateur that much more sublime, surprising, and above all unique.

For he is the earth cancer eliminator. He is the VERMINATEUR! Because the vermin is YOU.

To coincide with the release of ANIMALIZE’s Verminateur, DYING VICTIMS will be reissuing Meat We’re Made Of. Taste the New Wave of French Heavy Metal…again!

DVP 323 Hexecutor – …Where Spirit Withers in its Flesh Constraint LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEXECUTOR’s highly anticipated third album, …Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Formed in 2011, French quartet HEXECUTOR started with a foundation of raw-and-fierce evil old-school speed/thrash metal, as exemplified by their debut demo and Hangman of Roazhon EP from 2012 and 2014, respectively. Thereafter, they slowly-yet-firmly evolved in various directions when they released Poison, Lust and Damnation debut album in 2016, which DYING VICTIMS released on vinyl a year later.

After proving themselves to be a very efficient live act, HEXECUTOR immersed themselves into Breton legends and history, intertwining their music with Breton lore for their second album, 2020’s Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge…. Along with being something of a modern classic – amazingly thorough in its conceptual background, boundlessly inventive in its execution – that album proved to be a turning point for the band: a concerted and confident elevation beyond the standard “blackthrash” tropes so prevalent in the modern underground.

As considerable as that accomplishment was, HEXECUTOR are eclipsing it with their third album, delving yet deeper into dark legends and impressive figures from Celtic-Breton lore. Titled …Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint, LP#3 both sonically and elliptically continues where its momentous predecessor left off; not for nothing is the opening song the belated title track “Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge….” Ripping right out of the gates, HEXECUTOR continue their evolution unabated, adding once again to the richness of their music, and this time with songwriting from both their former and new lead guitarists. Their core is still thrash metal, but even just a cursory listen of …Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint reveals that there’s few “thrash” records that will sound like this – this year, or the next, or the year after that. Seemingly effortlessly – or, at least, with some strange magick unique to them – HEXECUTOR lurk yonder into realms both black and more traditionally heavy metal, even venturing far afield into some progressives touches. And whereas Beyond Any Human Conception of Knowledge… carried a huge conceptual weight, the feeling across …Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint is freer and almost airier, despite this still being DARK heavy metal at its core.

HEXECUTOR are HEXECUTOR, now more than ever: renewing the genre and trying to bring this opus as a new gem to the treasures of metal music…Where Spirit Withers in Its Flesh Constraint!

DVP 324 Lady Beast – The Inner Alchemist LP/CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to release LADY BEAST’s highly anticipated fifth album, The Inner Alchemist, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Since 2009, LADY BEAST have been flying the flag for refined HEAVY METAL. The band hail from the Steel City of Pittsburgh, forming with firm influences ranging from Motörhead, Dio, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Mercyful Fate. From there, LADY BEAST have weaved their own unique style of metal with silky-yet-sharp harmonizing guitars and the soaring, rally-the-warriors vocals of frontwoman Deborah Levine. All the while, they’ve retained their blue-collar roots but have never forgotten the majesty of metal in its earliest, most classic form: fantasy, magic, epic adventure, and of course ANTHEMS!

While it’s been five long years since their last full-length – but only a year after DYING VICTIMS stepped in to reissue on vinyl their second album, 2015’s pivotal Lady Beast II – LADY BEAST suitably explode from the gates with palpitating urgency on The Inner Alchemist. Mind you, the band aren’t necessarily trying to break any speed limits here on LP#5, but rather, it’s the power, poise, and all-out swagger they exude on The Inner Alchemist which instills the sensation that LADY BEAST have only been away mere minutes. Thankfully, little has changed in their sturdy aesthetic – authentically ‘80s-entrenched HEAVY METAL that struts and gallops with equal aplomb, buttressed by instantly-hummable riffs and a palpable atmosphere of swords & sorcery – but if there’s one main distinction, it’s that the production on The Inner Alchemist highlights their heaviness, giving crunch when proceedings go locomotive and majesty when those proceedings go harmonic. As always, Levine’s passionate & powerful vocals are as engaging as ever: emotive and narrative in equal measure, still standing tall atop the keep-it-true pack.

Graced with evocative cover artwork by Adam Burke, LADY BEAST are sure stirring up something with The Inner Alchemist!
