HELL COMES HOME - 7" split series


Newish label from Ireland (Galway) Hell Comes Home has released 12 splits 7" in 2012 (available as part of a box-set or individually) of sludge/doom/hardcore/metal.

I really love the way Joel choose the bands for each 7 inch.
The Artwork with insects deserves special applause.
Really good work done mate.
And It's a good damn marketing strategy. You can't just buy one or few 7 inches. You should grab the whole pack. And don't matter what band is on the vinyl and what it's playing.
Argggh, just jokin'...
Each band is really worth checking out. And even if you don't know it you'll be pleasently surprised.  


Hope you'll have some time to get this masterpiece.
Looking forward to see/hear volume 2 from Hell soon. 

Here's the List :

- Kowloon Walled City / Thou
- Suma / Ultraphallus
- Dephosphorus / Great Falls
- Akaname / Lesbian's Fungal Abyss
- Pyramido / Union Of Sleep
- Burning Love / Fight Amp
- Coffinworm / Fistula
- The Swan King / Tellusian
- Dukatalon / Rites
- Black Sun / Throat
- Dopefight / The Fucking Wrath
- Dead Elephant / Rabbits

Primitive Man - 2012 - Scorn


Really heavy shit outta here. on Throatruiner.

"Fronted by Ethan McCarthy of notable grind acts Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire and Death of Self, Denver, Colorado's PRIMITIVE MAN play some sort of blackened sludge/doom with hints of drone and d-beat in the vein of bands such as The Body, Thou or Khanate. An earth-shattering, bleak wall of crushing dissonance and pure sonic heaviness : "Scorn" is only the band's debut full-length, but it already sounds like one of the heaviest and most brutal records you'll hear for a while. Thirty nine minutes of pure, unrelenting destruction that will leave you bruised and bleeding."

Wiht - 2012 - The Harrowing of the North


UK Doomanoids Are finally pressed on vinyl.
They deserve it fo 300%

"Wiht are a Leeds-based trio who started out in March 2009 and whose epic,instrumental style straddles a spectrum of all things riff laden, fuzzed out, epic and psychedelic. Wiht’s first full album The Harrowing of The North is a two song, 33-minute concept piece taking influence thematically, from the subjugation of the North of England byWilliam the Conqueror in the 11th century, it tells the troubled history of Doomsday-era Yorkshire. Track 1 ‘The Harrowing of The North’, contains 8 movements which follow the raids from their beginnings in 1069- when the King massacredYorkshire’s people and destroyed the land ensuring it held no economic orcultural worth and remained subservient under his rule- to his remorseful deathbed nearly 20 years later. The second track is dedicated to outspokenchronicler ‘OrdericVitalis’ who, though loyal to his king, was outragedat his cruelty and condemned him in his writings.
The band have played across the UK, supporting Brant Bjork and the Bros, Yob, Corrosion of Conformity, Humanfly, Khuda, Dopefight, A Forest of Stars and Conan.
Wiht called in Quits in March 2012, bowing out at the mighty Desertfest, playing alongside Corrosion of Conformity, Orange Goblin, Ancestors and Black Cobra to name a few. But the story was not finished, oh no. Indeed…Wiht had one song left, in steps Devouter Records, to release ‘The Harrowing of the North’ with the added, unrecorded track ‘End of the Reign’ and booooooom…..the rest is history. "

"Limited edition 300 copies of Wiht - Harrowing of the North extended edition with bonus track on colour vinyl."
