Currency accepted: CAD, USA, EURO Keller - Spreading Evil CD (Thrash Metal)
100% top notch killer Thrash Metal in the old vein! Forget the new trendies playing modern pseudo Thrash, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!!! Sounding not a day removed from 1987 (and we mean that in a good way!) and coming straight at you with a savage shredding attack, these Slovenian boys are setting the new standard for the Thrash resurgence. Highly recommended for all the old school thrash fanatics who have worn out their vintage Kreator, Dark Angel, and Megadeth cassettes!
Kriticos - Dead Angels CD (Death Metal)
Edmonton, Alta.’s Kriticos, featuring Cyn Mercredi’s guttural growls and earth-shaking screams at centre stage. The four-piece female fronted act has have been working hard to spread the word to both the existing legions and potential fans who only need lend an ear. Recorded at Blood Thicker Music in their hometown of Edmonton, Alta., Dead Angels asserts eight tracks of unstoppable energy and auditory force from the very first listen.

A high-quality release in the purest & timeless way and comes with great painted cover-artwork & finest layout! Matured by many years of diligence and determination, ANDRAS present themselves as experienced Epic Pagan Metallers just like on their already grandiose predecessor album ...Iron Way.
Limited Digi CD + DVD version also availableLugubre - Supreme Ritual Genocide CD (Black Metal)
Newest skull crushing album from Netherlands Black Metallers Lugubre. A total Black Metal assault with lots of speed, darkness and definitely alcohol! Nine tracks in total, enough at the end to deliver a message of absolute misanthropy and urge for mankind’s destruction. The music is primitive, with its lingering malice and unpolished sound. All a perfect combination when ones talks of and listens to Black Metal.
Thorngoth - Leere CD (Black Metal)
Originality - it's a nice thing to have, but far from mandatory. Some bands take their inspiration from the greats and pay homage in a memorable and skillful manner. Some bands take it a step further and add their own special ingredient, and here we have an example of such a thing. Germany's Thorngoth take the foundation laid down by the greats and then add their own spark to give life to deliver a solid slab of Black Metal with occasional epic qualities. Thorngoth have dropped upon the earth a heavy and evil album that frequently delivers epic riffs and harrowing atmosphere. Fans of German Black Metal should already own a copy of this.
Aquila - Imperium CD (Metalcore)
AQUILA is both furious and melodic; the listener might be able to catch the wide-ranging musical influences buried within the unique metal groove that surfaces from their tracks. Machine gun rhythms, intense guitar work and the catalyst: death metal vocals were all brought to the forefront of the audible threshold to result in a face punching listening experience.
Hellhound - Hellhound 7†(Punk/Hardcore)
A full-on package of crust, modern hardcore and power violence mixed into one. Sinister and brutal riffage followed by speedy, yet heavy drumming has made this record a must have in the north eastern American hardcore scene. Recorded by Bridge Nine’s own Jason Maas of Defeater, excellent yet raw production quality has yielded no opposition to the ears of the listener. This release comes with exclusive digital download cards for those without record players.
Suburban Showdown - Warvictims Split 7†(Punk/Hardcore)
Brutal pair of two up-and-coming discore bands from different parts of the world. Side A’s Suburban Showdown comes in with a well-recorded set of four tight tracks focusing lyrically on the destruction of mankind via government spying, video cameras, and public ignorance. Musically along the lines of Disfear with different structures, standard tuning, and an influence of grind. Warvictims, hailing from Sweden, deliver 3 war cries in a traditional d-beat style recorded in a distorted, primitive tone. Musically of Disclose with deeper vocals.
The Lightbringer - Quintessence of Dawn CD (Black Metal)
The Lightbringer hailing from Quebec Canada skilfully combines the strengths of black and power metal. The various moods and textures are linked together and merge into each other allowing the texts to come alive within the listener's imagination. Guitars, sometimes melodic and incisive, sometimes atmospheric and poignant are supported by haunting arrangements on keyboards and by a dynamic bass line and an energetic battery. The trio of model and enriched voices that characterize the mythical universe "Quintessence of Dawn" is as easy to listen for fans of all genres than a deep experience for music lovers looking for the thrill of contemplating an overall work. Because that's what "The Lightbringer" is: an artistic whole that will please scholars who will want to dissect and discover its hidden treasures.
Bloodshed Walhalla - Legends Of A Viking CD (Viking Metal)
Bloodshed Walhalla could be easily compared with Bathory but there are some differences in the sound as well. Influenced by Bathory albums which were based on Viking history ''Blood Fire Death, Hammerheart and Twilight of the Gods''. However, more based on traditional Heavy Metal music. A mix of some good old Bathory with Heavy Metal and a strong traditional influence you get Bloodshed Walhalla. The guitars are quite catchy with fantastic folk based melodies. Also, here and there, you will hear some acoustic parts as well. ''Legends of a Viking'' has 6 hymns of pure Viking Metal in its best form. There is definitely very noticeable traditional vibe in these tracks. Nonetheless, each song is a tale for itself. Some tracks have really strong refrains and great melodic vibe. The chorus vocals are perfectly done with a hymn like approach. For fans of Bathory and die hard Viking Metal fans as well.
Lunar Aurora - Mond CD (Black Metal)
This isn't fairy-tale music. It's not beautiful. It's powerful, mysteriously hypnotic and regal, yet dark, brooding and with a sense of desolation. It's pure Teutonic glory! The guitar chords, riffs, melodies, are grand; they weave what could be considered cold hard thrashing chords with a sense of grandeur, pride, and purpose. The songs themselves are easily worn on into the 6-8 minute marks, without getting boring, via these blasting bits of excellent drumming while frost-bitten axe-work blows its way in and around, creating structure and bitter-cold atmosphere that passes over like Northern winds.
Mael Mordha - Manannan CD (Doom Metal)
Taking inspiration from their forefathers, five new warriors began another rebellion, rising up within the Irish metal scene to craft a truly unique blend of never before heard doom metal and traditional Irish laments, now known as ‘Gaelic Doom Metal’. Mael Mordha’s battling spirit lives on in the band and his bloody legacy inspires the ferocious live performances which have won them many followers, allowing them to quickly conquer their homeland and take their fight to continental Europe and beyond.
Huldrefolk - Morbide Elite CD (Black Metal)
Morbide Elite is a solid album for enthusiasts of the genre. An excellent band that should bring them recognition beyond the Belgian borders. Light church organs, chiming funeral bells and industrial soundscapes create an unsettling atmosphere on a convincing note. Belgium once again proves its Black Metal forth!
Fall of Empyrean - A Life Spent Dying CD (Doom Metal)
Fall of Empyrean has been depressing the world with emotionally-wrought doom/death metal since 2000. Throughout the years, the band has gained a strong following throughout not only the Canada and the United States, but also mainland Europe, Scandinavia, Russia and the Baltic States, Japan, South Korea, South America, Mexico, Australia, and a number of other countries. The band has established itself within the US doom metal scene, steadily rising in the ranks.
Longing For Dawn - Between Elation and Despair CD (Doom Metal)
Funeral Doom has become the opium of metalheads worldwide. Finding its beginnings in Scandinavia with bands like Until Death Overtakes me and Pantheist, funeral doom has seemingly drifted through each genre of metal, swallowing everyone left in the slowly stagnating scenes in a slow, lethargic dirge. Longing for Dawn’s newest offering is a fantastic release by five musicians just attempting to put their mark on a genre that is still somewhat new and young. Longing for Dawn manages to continue to push boundaries and flow endlessly towards the infinite, but with a more colorful strain than the usual white, black, and grey.
Mandrake - Innocence and Weakness CD (Goth Metal)
The music of Mandrake is voluptuous, sometimes epic, sometimes fragile, supported by "real" strings, low guitars and powered by pounding drums. Above all, the significant voice of Birgit lyrics and music often deal with the forces of nature, especially water, and the desire to reach distant shores and galaxies.
