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...

Sample: Dialog Of Broken Stars

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.

Sample "Haruwen Airen" HERE

Thoabath stabs forward with the track OCULI W.A.C. Thoabath is a solo project of Mr. A.C. Way (Sutekh Hexen etc.). Wrought with harsh noise bursts and calming chants, OCULI forces you to simultaneously meditate and praise

Grace022: Black Earth - "A Cryptic Howl Of Morbid Truth" Cassette:

  Mantric dissolution of suffocating and hopeless ritual ambient invocations, hailing among the ruins through improvisational meditative trances - from the unconscious to the enlightenment, spawning its swarming amalgam of noise, black metal and dark ambient miasmas. Droning asphyxiating psalms for the spiritually moribund, and the already dead. A very special release for us... comes housed in a full color slip-case.

Grace025: Ēōs - "S​/​T" Cassette:

  Ēōs hail from Washington state, USA and play some of the most miserable and superb Funeral Doom the genre has witnessed since the kingly Thergothon.

Disemballerina - "Undertaker" LP OUT NOW:

Undertaker is heavy with unconventionally heavy instruments (Cello,violin, acoustic guitar and harp). Somber yet dynamic.. This masterpiece evokes a beautiful and brooding mood and stands as tribute to our cessation of breath. Every note played with conviction and poise. Such originality helps them stand as outsiders among outsiders in the best way possible.
  You could describe Disemballerina as "Neo-Classical", but they are simply much, much more.

A.M.S.G. - "Anti-Cosmic Tyranny" & NAFARMAAN - "Quayamat Lullaby" EP OUT NOW! NEW STORE LAYOUT:

   Grace011:  A.M.S.G. - ANTI-COSMIC TYRANNY LP

     From notorious, Canadian Black Metal terrorists, A.M.S.G: “Anti-Cosmic Tyranny. An album whose mission statement is to “salute and push forth the awakened era of Esoteric Luciferian Supremacy.” 
Helmed by black metal crime lord, Angelfukk Witchhammer (also a member of Gloria Diaboli and the legendary and now-defunct Ouroboros cult.), A.M.S.G. play brand of primitive old-school black metal that summons the ancient spirit from an age and era where black metal was deemed for ritual use and unabashed devil worship. Reminiscent of the vibe of such Black Metal luminaries as Mortuary Drape, early Samael, early Rotting Christ, Necromantia, and Varathron, with their debut full-length, A.M.S.G. have created an audial Satanic ritual steeped in raw and harsh, unique and polarizing Black Metal, unlike anything being released in the genre today. It is an album that conjures twisted, uneasy and deranged, mid-paced, progressive, odd song structures while incorporating dark, melancholic drear into its sound canvas of total death worship. Through its myriad of layered and subliminal sounds, noise, whispers and chants which culminate to form this 
Black Metal ritual of sonic invocation to honor the endless Dark Aeon and the CHAOTIC BLACK LIGHT!

Written and composed in its entirety by Angelfukk Witchhammer behind prison walls, “Anti-Cosmic Tyranny” according to A.W., is “...a kind of an irony because the "anti-cosmic" is of formlessness and separation, a cosmic freedom...but to Christianity, Judaism, or Islamic thought, the 11 thrones are their enemy. What is our freedom is their tyranny and vice versa. We think of God/Yahweh as enslavers and living under the ‘cosmic tyranny’. Indeed a title for them to fear!” 
Dedicated to the memory of Kaos Abhorrer.....died by his own hands July 9, 2014.

"A.M.S.G." stands for "Ad Majorem Satanae Gloriam" which is Latin and means "For the Greater Glory of Satan".

Licensed from Profound Lore Records for this exclusive vinyl version.

Grace012: GEVURAH - "Necheshirion" LP OUT NOW! & Recluse - "Frozen Blood" LP In Stock.

 (From Profound Lore:)   "Montreal, Canada’s GEVURAH portrays a virulent and aesthetically potent vision of lacerating black metal chaos and utter death worship through their hymns of plague and glorification.

Their debut release “Necheshirion” captures that moment of genuflection to give honor and praise to the reign of Lucifer during the inevitable dark aeon. Four songs spanning 28 minutes of poisonous religious black metal malevolence which signify the process of spiritual rebirth of the enlightened Self which rises from the ashes through fire and ultimately liberates itself through death."

  Originally released via Profound Lore Records on C.D., Graceless Recordings are proud to present the vinyl format of this modern masterpiece of Satanic art. "Necheshirion" also stands as our first vinyl release. Packaged in a gloriously designed jacket with printed, double sided, full color, inner-sleeve and pressed on black vinyl and limited to 300 copies.
