On The Mo(u)rning Of The Bastard Hobo's Birth: Aborted Christ Childe - << Aliv 'N' Unreleas'd >>

Grace033: Aborted Christ Childe - << Aliv 'N' Unreleas'd >> Discography Cassette. Limited to fuck you amount of copies. No flag. No pre-order. OUT NOW. 
  
     In 1995, requesting "Black Metal" in a record store would get you either a nonplussed expression or
 24-7 SPYZ. In Chicago, Illinois, two talented and depressed men in their 20's had decided to consolidate their musical efforts from avant-garde Noise Core to through-composed savage USBM. The result was ABORTED CHRIST CHILDE, an expression of deep mysanthropy and murderous rage so violent and mercurial it threatened to burst beyond the confines of song. The goal was music that was the fastest, the loudest and the most severe EVER; on the lip of becoming pure noise, but held within the limits of perceptible order by an inexhaustible anger. The setting of the band, industrial Chicago, was destitute, hopeless, morbidly depressing, being attacked in corpse-paint by gang-bangers with crucifixes on, arms broken, and record labels failing to issue as promised; time and again, none had the balls.
'TIL NOW.

Grace023/Grace034 Asubha and Graveolence OUT NOW:

Today brings the ferocious release of 2 more sects of stoic obscurity and rot by the way of Graveolence (Can) - "Malformation" CS and Asubha - "Le Jésuve" CS....
    Emerging from dark and unknown lands, Asubha unleash their debut EP ‘Le Jésuve’. Two tracks of furious yet refined black metal lit by the raging fires of old, ‘Le Jésuve’ draws on the traditions of the Swedish, French, and early American masters like Armagedda, Seigneur Voland, and Judas Iscariot to deliver a relentless blend of melancholia, violence, and agony. No rest, no peace—only the fire of the mind. For they are the wolfish, they rise from below. With hammer blow will and eyes to the sun, their act of creation has only just begun.
Sample the track "Ethos Of Ruin"
HERE.

     Without including anything outlandish or gimmicky, the young Vancouver, Canada trio, Graveolence, have simply forged a demo that is unquestionably death metal, but also entirely novel. Malformation is eight tracks in seventeen minutes. A fetid scent hanging in that drafty air with hooks suspended from the ceilings and ominous stains on the raw wooden floors. Huff the rot…
You can listen to "Malformation" in its entirety HERE.

  Purchase both new releases and all other Graceless titles via our SHOP.

Gevurah, AmphisbaenA & Chthe'ilist OUT NOW:

  This day sees the release of a Canadian trinity of filth....




















Grace026: Gevurah (Can) - "Dialog Of Broken Stars" 7" EP
     
"...Now they gleam more than ever...Turned to dark stars of black light. A new dawn of endless night. Broken and unbroken, they shine of pure light..."
Gevurah strikes back with a new 2 song EP: "Dialog Of Broken Stars". The perfect bridge between "Necheshirion" and "Hallelujah!", this EP features one bleak hymn of horror and void...Black Metal in it's purest form..the second track, an ambient experiment, which aims to take the listener on a spiritual journey beyond the stars, concludes this release.
Due out this past Winter but plagued with delays from our (now former) pressing plant, the "Dialog Of Broken Stars" has now begun...


Grace031: Chthe'ilist (Can) - "Le Dernier Crépuscule" Cassette

  The cassette version (licensed from Profound Lore) of the anticipated debut CHTHE’ILIST album “Le Dernier Crepuscule” is now available to order through our website and ship. Bizarre and rotten melodies...strange tales and vibrations of old magick...Truly a Death Metal monument and one of Death Metal’s defining moments of 2016 in its morbid, otherworldly and labyrinthine atmosphere.
Exclusive art/layout to this format. 150 copies produced.

Sample: Le Dernier Crépuscule

Grace032: AmphisbaenA (Can) - "S/t" Cassette

"It has a twin head, that is one at its tail-end as well, as though it were not enough for poison to be poured out of one mouth."

   Being the mythological two-headed snake with a taste for ants and human corpses, Amphisbaena seems a star-crossed name for a band featuring current and ex-members of Antediluvian, Rites of Thy Degringolade, and Weapon. Although you may see it somewhere described as such, Amphisbaena’s self-titled debut EP is more than just an offering of meta-sadistic, anti-cosmic smothering blackened death. By taking an overall Daedalian approach to writing their songs and supplanting conventional riffs with movements (i.e. not a lot of licks or repetition), Amphisbaena’s arrived at something rather artful for a metal demo. Additionally, three of its four members provide vocals and the result is something like a Greek tragedy set in some post-apocalyptic opium den with Haasiophis of Antediluvian cast as the gurgling chorus. 

Sample: AmphisbaenA

Lycus "Chasms" & Siaskel "Haruwen Airen" Cassettes Released:

Grace0029: Siaskel (Chile) - "Haruwen Airen" Cassette.

 The band uses Spanish and the 'Ona' language: the language of the Selk'nam, an indigenous people in the Patagonian region of southern Argentina and Chile, including the Tierra del Fuego islands. The people's cultural independence finally got more or less extinct in the middle of the 20th century, caused by the invasion of ethnic Europeans. 

"Siaskel" was an unmerciful-devourer of man, woman & children on the popular myths of the Selk'nam people at the end of Patagonia and he became a volcano after being conquered by a shaman.... Siaskel play a style of Black Death Metal not unlike their namesake. Unmerciful but at times melodic. Growling macabre passages amid a melee of razor sharp riffs and barbaric bludgeoning seeped in South American lore....
Definitely for fans of Sarcofago, Dissection and The Chasm.
