KEINE ANGST IM DUNKELN - KEINE ANGST IM DUNKELN

The solo project of Denis, guitarist of the mighty SUIR - and don't worry, KEINE ANGST IM DUNKELN isn't miles away from Denis' main band musically. No, it's dark, spooky, and almost mysterious here as well - these songs could have easily been the soundtrack to Boardwalk Empire. The connection to BRMC, SUIR, and even the Russian Brian Jonestown Massacre is undeniable, without merely being a dull copy. The moods are conveyed in a similar way, but the delivery and song structures are a bit more conventional and less intricate. 6 fantastic songs that leave you wanting more.

OAKHANDS - A CIRCLE WITH MANY CENTERS

Musically and as accustomed, Oakhands express themselves in a multi-faceted manner, but above all close to their lyrical and conceptual ideas. Their trademark 'Sturm & Drang' sound, a striking as well as glowing amalgam of post-hardcore, indie and (Scr)E(a)mo, is explored in more contrasting and distinct ways. With differentiated math-pop and the stylistically as well as emotionally more brute, nihilistic traits of post-punk (s/o to The Cure and Gilla Band) and doom. The impetuous blast beats in bright major chords and dreamy power ballads soundtrack the album's continuities and contrasts in a multi-faceted way.

PIGEON - BUG (180 GR)

These guys from Berlin have been around for quite some time. Their last full-length was released by Dunkelziffer Records and Antenne Krzyku in May 2018. Their new stuff (Bug ep) was only released on tape so far and will be ready for all vinyl maniacs in spring of 2019. Music wise, the songs vary between furious noisy uptempo smasher and cold atmospheric creepy stuff. Think of GOGGS or EX-Cult. Limited to 300 copies.

SPACE CHASER - DECAPITRON

The "Decapitron" EP was previously a CD-only release, and showed the first songs direct out of the rehearsal room. The CD sold fast and never got a proper reprint - until now! And best of all, vinyl dudes & duderettes can get their fav wax as well - printed in two fancy colours and totally remixed by Jan Oberg! Besil Wrathbone reinterpreted the original artwork and with one bonus song (Thrashhold in the demo version and remixed as well) this ep will blow your mind. Superfast, on point ripping thrashmetal at its best.

ULTRANOTHING - ULTRANOTHING

3 guys, 4 songs - it can be that simple. Plenty of reverb on the vocals, screeching guitars, a wall of sound - think of a mix between Merchandise and Home Front. Just killer post-punk: pulsating, driving, energetic, and DIY. The band initially self-released only 100 copies, which sold out in no time. Now, TCM is reissuing 300 more copies together with the band, in a proper 10" sleeve - and heads up, this is a first: THIS IS THE FIRST 10" RELEASE ON TCM!

BASK - AMERICAN HOLLOW

REPRESSED! With roots in americana, stoner metal and post-rock, Bask is turning out their own brand of doom. Psychedelic, heavy, and scenic songs weave through sections of driving riffs, thundering percussion, loose grooves and glimmering guitar. All topped with vocals that conjure spirits of old country crooners. "Bask are a young band from North Carolina that play a highly original blend of Americana, country, post-rock and stoner/doom metal. American Hollow is the bands debut on The Path Less Traveled Records and, without a doubt, I can say it is one of the most unique records Ive come across in years. "High Mountain Pass" is an energetic album opener, starting with a half-time shuffle that breaks into a pretty straight-forward stoner rock groove, similar to some of the less aggressive tunes by Red Fang. The vocals have a pretty noticeable twang to them, giving the music a distinctly country vibe, though with a bit more power and volume than anything youll hear on a modern country record. The vocals are a strong point, to be sure, but the music theyre soaring over is just as powerful; jangly guitars, low rumbly bass, and big drums that are pretty reminiscent of the tone John Bonham laid down in classic Led Zeppelin, though with a little more dynamics. The first track might be a little misleading though, as the rest of the album has an almost dreamlike feel to them, particularly on the slower songs like "American Hollow" and "A Mans Worth," both of which have a melancholy country-like feel to them. "American Hollow" in particular has a post-rock, indie rock vibe mixed in, almost like Band Of Horses, except Bask go into a bit heavier territory, whereas Band Of Horses obviously have a more radio-friendly vibe." For fans of Led Zeppelin, Red Fang, and Band of Horses.

BLCKWVS - 160

It took more than 5 years for these guys to finish this project - a very ambitious project, because they wanted to do every song with a different singer that they love. And as you can imagine, there were a lot of people keen to do it and a few really did it. So, in the end you'll get the most promising BLCKWVS record you ever listened to. They still have their trademark monolithic super heavy doom sound, but have spiced it a bit here. The folowing people did their part - and tell a spacey story from song to song. Toni (Union Of Sleep), Ed Fraser (Heads), Marc Grewe (Insidious Disease /orig.Morgoth), Munde (inotdance), Sarah (Black Vulpine), Siggi (Space Chaser), Lupus (Kadavar), Chris Dettmer and Milo (Rhonda). If you dig ISIS, Neurosis and the like, check these dudes as well! File Under: Instumental Doom, Postrock,

CENTURIES - BROKEN HYMNS

Musically Centuries provide the tools to enable both, the modern hardcore heart and the "Beyond Thunderdome" in Crustpunk bliss. Gloomy, infernal, apocalyptic, destructive, nihilistic, full of rage and - Warning: pathos - despair roll the songs partially, furiousness elsewhere, with breakdowns by surprise and then again ready to attack. Think of the mood of From Ashes Rise, the "drill head" aggressiveness slower Converge songs Association mood of Trap Them and out comes Centuries - with the difference that there are songs simple and clear, almost tidy. This record shows the complete discography PLUS 4 brand new demo-recordings, which will also appear on their Debut Lp on Southern Lord in Autumn 2013! Be prepared for total destruction. On ,Broken Hymns" you'll find the songs from the debut 7 ", the split 7" with Homestretch, the split 7 "with Patsy O'Hara and four completely new songs! Printed innersleeve.

CLOSET DISCO QUEEN - CLOSET DISCO QUEEN

Again? Jona Nido and Luc Hess (COILGUNS, KUNZ, THE OCEAN, THE FAWN, SCHWARZ, etc.) have a new hot friend. She came out of her auntie's closet and will ruin your teenage disco. The loudest cheerleader you've ever seen - barely dressed and roughly combed, queue jumping everyone at the entrance of the club. Here she comes, out of nowhere and without warning, carried around by two of the sexiest bodyguards - like she always belonged. Fact is that girl can dance. She dares. She rocks. Odd and weird, charming enough to turn any of her nights into a freak show. We all knew these two guys were party animals, but this band will bring them to a whole new level of frenzy. That CLOSET DISCO QUEEN delivers 70's instrumental psycheledic kraut rock'n'roll progressive beats for your ass to shake and your shoes to burn. Huuuh, you nasty girl.

CRYPTS - COVEN OF THE DEAD

Take no prisoners! CRYPTS from Germany deliver very true old school deathmetal, no gimmicks, no intos, pure and simple stripped down end of the 80s style. Without any exaggeration you can name Morgoth, early Entombed, Hail Of Bullets or Autopsy as comparisons - techically fit, great songwriting, a fantastic singer, who, if i can believe the band, growls even in normal conversations.

DEMON HEAD - RIDE THE WILDERNESS

After this Copenhagen 5 piece formed in 2012, released a demo EP and a two-track EP, the first longplayer of top knotch doom will be released through TCM. The previously released songs were recorded once again and put on the new record. Rock is the backbone of the record, the ghosts of classic rock bands haunts this records, but not taking over the sound of the band. The vocals are reminiscent of Danzig and Year Of the Goat, but less anthemic and more gritty. The guitar sound is not overly distorted, which gives this record the taste of old spiderwebs from a tomb, but played in the fashion of Thin Lizzy. The lyrical center orbits around doom rock topics, like occults, fantasy, close to In Solitude and Cirith Ungol. Obviously these dudes gave the universe, demons and drugs a serious thought! As if the last 30 years of metal evolution weren't there, the band strikes through distorted blues riffs, spooky lyrics and mind crippling slow drum parts. This proto-doom band swings like Bill Ward, battling through guitar parts when Tommi Iommi and Victor Griffin meet in hell, topped with the reminiscient sound of Bobby Liebling. Blues, swing and soul mixed in satans kitchen, can't miss this!

FLESHWORLD - THE ESSENCE HAS CHANGED, BUT THE DETAILS REMA

A five-piece band from Kraków, Poland, revolving around the concepts of uncertainty and change, beauty found in decay, and the indescribable emotions. Unpleasant, noisy, and melodic sludgy post-hardcore, evoking nostalgia, regret, and uneasiness. 2019 will see the release of their new album, "The Essence Has Changed, but the Details Remain" through This Charming Man Records. It blends blackened hardcore with melancholic screamo, and psychedelic improvisation. The album was recorded entirely live in Monochrome Studio, a reclusive retreat in the Silesian wilderness, engineered by Haldor Grunberg from Satanic Audio (Thaw, Behemoth) and mixed/mastered by Sylvain Biguet, who also worked with artists like Birds in Row, Death Engine, Valve, or As We Draw. Fleshworld was initially founded in 2010 as an electronic/post rock duo, the band gradually grew and developed. For a while they revolved around the post-rock/post-metal genres. Since then, the band has been getting heavier and more aggressive with each iteration, while still retaining a certain introspective mood and melodic approach.

FREIBURG - AUFBRUCH

Four young lads out of Gütersloh, playing Hamburg-trademark punk like the one and only Oma Hans or Turbostaat. After releasing their first album "high five zukunft" on Mixtape Rec., the new songs will be a further step forward. This record is somewhere between noisy indie tunes and forward played punk songs. FRBRG will for sure have their year in 2013! German cryptic messages, passionate melodies. thats what their second album on TCM turned out. all you Oiro, Turbostaat, Oma Hans lovers watch out for these guys, cause you don't have to be at least 40 years of age to record a more than decent LP!

FREIBURG - BRIEF & SIEGEL

A new breaker from This Charming Man, a newer band that has stripped off their children's clothes with the third disc and is now giving full throttle. On the one hand the forward-lookingness of a Hamburg punk school, grandma Hans, clearly Turbostaat (the older things), on the other hand a higher aggressiveness and directness of 90s US Emo. This sounds so well and properly produced that Tobi Neumann (nozzle hunter) wanted to share a song. He got it and got it right: the guys know how they sound and how they arrange songs. Especially the voice can so intensify, that the whole shit, against which Freiburg sings even more avalanche-like. Whether they know Freiburg is a total hippy town? Hopefully not, otherwise they would make hippiescheisse. Or just because of the name: Here is the appearance and the theme, the fault in the perfect, the desire to scream, when everything is really quite good. Or so. (Contraszt)

G I F T - RUPTURES

There it is, the TCM heaviness-hat-trick! Right after Phantom Winter and Park+Riot, Leipzigs G i f t are entering the room, levelling everything in their way. With RUPTURES, the band adds their debut to the TCM line-up and believe me, this is one wild beast. Chaotic and groovy, dashing and dark, rolling and sludgy, Old Man Gloom meets Ken Mode, or the heavier parts of Botch meet Deadguy. Whatever labels you want to put on it, one thing is for sure: this stuff gets you moving. Some of you might find old acquaintances from the German DIY scene in the bands line-up: G i f t's members were and are active in The Tidal Sleep, Throwers, Trainwreck, Glasses, Dezefra Ridge, Antes and Quallus. This wide spectrum also hints at the musical variety and the super heavy, all-consuming sound on RUPTURES. Stay tuned, this beast is coming your way soon.

GREAT BEYOND, THE - A BETTER PLACE

These fellas from Munich Germany are a typical power rock trio mayhem, which took me instantly as I listened to their first recorded demos! They pretty much sound like they look: bone-dry, dusty & oldschool 70s rock - if you dig Mountain Witch or Kadavar, you pretty sure can connect with these 5 songs. On their 12" they show a wide range of classic rock styles, slowed down Graveyard-eque tunes also as uptempo driven rock hymns. the one thing, which will be the TGB-signature will be the high pitched singing of Leon, who reminds a little of mix of Stephen Brodsky (Cave In / Mutoid Man) and John Dyer Baizley of mighty Baroness!

GREAT BEYOND, THE - THE GREAT BEYOND

One year after their well-received debut EP for This Charming Man, The Great Beyond from Munich, Germany unleash their first full-length LP upon fans of heavy psyched 70s rock! The band decided to step back from the predecessor's rather relaxed guitar work and instead focus on highly dynamic, pushing riffing that relies much more on groove and pure rock energy. The vintage vibe is still present in abundance, combining the raw power of Queens of the Stone Age with a spectacular hard rock feeling. Fans of classics and the recent German 70s rock wave in particular should definitely get in on this release!

HEBI KATANA - III

This work, which is the third album, maintains the classic doom/hard rock sound that has been created up to now, but it also has a strong jam feeling honed through expeditions including overseas tours, and the band ensemble is truly impressive. It is a work of art. Coupled with member changes, the content gives a sense of significant growth and progress. In addition, the songs created through collaboration with seasoned live acts have a more vivid finish. Through songwriting that involves everyones participation, each bands colors and characters are strongly reflected, and it can be said that the band is exploring a unique sound based on the doom/stoner sound. "Hallelujah Anyway" is a straightforward attack with a classic heavy riff and mellow chorus, "Depressed Blues" is a combination of a mid-tempo heavy riff and dark vocals In the second half, "Darkest Priest" develops into a more doomy shuffle boogie, and "Lost" drifts from a dark arpeggio-driven melody to a heavy and sinking development, and the songs included are rich and fulfilling. The yellowtail is something to behold. The rapid advance of "Tokyo Samurai Doom" begins now!

HOW I LEFT - BIRDS IN THE CITY

In the middle of the southern German province, where small grapes become delicious wine, the very own and soothing sound for lovers is created. How I Left creates music that will make fans of the Weakerthans, Wilco or Ben Kweller feel good in their stomachs, think slacker-folk meets catchy indie-pop! Cozy drums and bass rumble, over it loose guitars, an old piano and the Philicorda home organ from the bulky waste. As soon as the vocals start, the trained ear wonders when the vocal fusion of Paul Simon, Neil Young and Conor Oberst took place. The lyrics are reminiscent of American Short Stories - everyday situations, curious headlines and interpersonal encounters merge into literary miniatures. Stubborn with a pinch of esprit! One half of the duo, Julian Bätz (vocals, guitar, piano, organ), can be found more often as Helmet Lampshade with the songwriting jewel Marcel Gein in all kinds of concert and recording situations. He also tours Europe with Rocky Votolato or works on his current solo album with Olaf O.P.A.L. (The Notwist) or Sebastian L. Phillip (Die Wilde Jagd). The How I Left Magic is created by jazz drummer Michy Muuf (the other duo half). The casually pointed drumming swings straight into the heart - memories of Levon Helm from "The Band" come to mind. Put into shape by mixing and mastering mastermind Christian Bethge (Stella Sommer, Messer, Gewalt), the two create music together that has never been heard before in this country. It sounds at least as good as the vino from this corner of the republic tastes. Word of honour!

HYSTERESE - HYSTERESE IV

Three years have passed since the last Hysterese record, and these last years brought change to the band. All grew older, some got babies and some went their different paths. So 2021 is a bit of a new era for Hysterese, personally and music-wise - with a new bass player, a new method of songwriting and more diverse influences which are reflected in slightly new song vibes. The last self-titled album already showed a glimpse of what might possibly happen while composing new material. Moritz and Helen split the composing and added a more morbid style - it got darker, and shows a bit more of a mature or adult approach to write intelligent, powerful songs. Hysterese's trademark, the twin lead vocals of Helen and Moritz loses its weight as Helen takes more and more the role of the lead singer. They have less stakkato riffing and more open, atmospheric guitar work filled with superb guitar-melodies. Kai's precise, machine-like drumming, and Jana's flawless basswork do the final tricks - one can explore more than a "one, two, three, four" - punk rock album. Overall the seed they planted on their third record became a strong unique plant with ripe fruits which taste like darkness, melancholy, strength, anger, rage and fury. They created some sparkling düster-müster-popunk-diamonds, which are not afraid to take some detours through genres like alternative-rock or post punk. If you dig the darkness of The Wipers, the explosiveness of old Descendents records and the hits and melodies of your fav Blondie or Billy Idol songs, I'm sure you will dig this piece of rock music.

Finally there are signs of life from these two exceptional German bands. Karies provide us with a nice cross-section of their previous work and an outlook towards the new. They bring us three unreleased songs from 2016, 2017 and 2021. Nuage hit two brand new things that will surely catapult them out of their underdog status and finally be seen where they should have been since the last LP.

In Kosmonovski he is playing guitar and sings - together with a whole gang of other musicians - let's say it like this: this is a special kind of muscial endeavour - anyways- these guys know how to play poppy punkrock almost Indie like songs - think of middle phased Muff Potter, early Matula, early Schrottgrenze. you'll get the picture.

These lads are some old-timers out of Munich area - around forever, well known for their energy-fueled performances.

MOUNTAIN WITCH - BURNING VILLAGE (RED)

REPRESSED ON RED VINYL. Doomy hard rockers Mountain Witch took the underworld by storm with their late 2013 LP 'Cold River'. Their gameplan was simple and effective: take the low-end darkness of Black Sabbath and the pugilistic riffing of Judas Priest and drape them in shadow. One could be forgiven for misreading the album title 'Cold River' as 'Reel to reel tape found in the cellar of an abandoned house in the woods, circa 1976'. Now, two and a half years later, the northern German trio is back with their second album, 'Burning Village'. In the interim between albums Mountain Witch broke the bank on focusing and tightening their songcraft, honing the edge of their established identity while mining previously untapped potential: adding dimension, widening the scope and prominence of the vocals and worshipping the riff with increasing fervor. 'Burning Village' is horror literature in leather and inked-stained denim, protometal from Innsmouth, the soundtrack of choice for Dunwich by night. At this point the band is out of the cellar and out of the woods. Unleashed on an unsuspecting world Mountain Witch is ready to patrol stages and burn down villages with their riff-fueled fury.

MOUNTAIN WITCH - COLD RIVER (COLOR VINYL)

New pressing on yellow or green vinyl! Since then Mountain Witch has not only recruited a third member in bass player Tobert Knopp, they have returned with a more focused and ambitious sound on their follow up album Cold River. Their first release on This Charming Man Records - the Muenster based label responsible for Die Nerven, The Moth, Messer and more - while that loose and low slung spirit of Scythe. still remains, it's now strengthened by an unmistakable 70s psych rock majesty. With vintage tones and killer riffs reminiscent of early Sabbath, their new direction also takes in the boogie of Blue Cheer, ballsy strut of Deep Purple and the total ambition of Pink Floyd. A sound that doesn't shy away from its hard rock roots and at the same time doesn't stop long enough to rest on them. A more structured record than anything they've ever laid down before, Cold River's newest and most noticeable characteristic can be heard in the addition of Rene Sitte's vocals and darkened lyrics. Lysergic tales spun out over haunting grooves that never stray far from the arcane acid jams that inspired them originally and can be heard here echoing across ncient Light' and the curiously titled Shrubbery The Warlock'. There's also a distinct feeling that while the Mountain Witch of old were content to plug in and rock out, the epic guitar assaults and rhythm and doom sections of Sleepers Chant' and The Covey' give this latest incarnation a newfound purpose, one that could give the likes of Dead Meadow, Uncle Acid and former label mates Kadavar.

MOUNTAIN WITCH - EXTINCT CULTS

The new Mountain Witch record "Extinct Cults" will be the last before a longer break, so both the main dudes Rene & Rene decided to do it properly - so why not take the main Mountain Witch doom flavour and add some new ingredients, like organs and some nice background vocals? Then record it the old school way and guess what: you will get a magnificent written, great sounding, genre bending 70s rock record. They jumped from 1970 to let's say 1976, took the main Black Sabbath worship and added a bit more melody here and there... Not only KADAVAR or HEAT fans will be satisfied, even more progresive stuff like early SCORPIONS or CREAM can be spotted - lets say they added more 70s hardrock vibe. This all sums up to an excellent bundle of six new songs! FFO: Mountain Witch, Black Sabbath, Kadavar, Heat, Demon Head, Cream, Horisont, Hällas

MOUTH - GETAWAY

Mouth from Cologne switch from the prog label Tonzonen to This Charming Man with their fourth album "Getaway" - and nobody could be more pleased about it than me! What a mad trip the three of them throw in here. The very first song almost bursts the duration of a long-playing record. Meandering nicely trippy through the musical swamp rock landscape of the 60s & 70s, Mouth scrape along all the genres you can roam with a classic rock band - prog, rock, space, garage, jazz or krautrock - this is all formed into a coherent, stomping mass on "Getaway". With "Once" they have a real hit on board that can make the dance floor of any indie/rock party shake - simply great. Previous albums "Rhizome" (2009/2020) , "Vortex" (2017), "Floating" (2018), "Live'71" (2018), "Past-Present-Future" (2019)) were all highly acclaimed works and I'm sure MOUTH's well matured album "Getaway" will also pick up the critical acclaim. And of course the 4th album is an album whose songs are woven together by a narrative concept: A hopeless escape without a happy ending. The album artwork comes from the artist Rolf Maria Koller (The Apocalyptic Dream | 1972) and the master is done by Eroc.

MOUTH - VORTEX (REDUX) (COLOR)

Welcome to the definitive Vortex. The LP you're holding has been on a journey, and no, not just shipping. Mouths second after 2009's Rhizome, Vortex was mostly recorded in 2011 and 2012 over five sessions in a small space where the band rehearsed. Material was pieced together intermittently over a period of 11 months with Chris Koller handling guitar, keys and bass and Nick Mavridis on drums. Thats where it started. Two construction projects: the studio and a recording that would help define the course of the band in classic and melodic progressive rock, happening almost simultaneously in a creative meta-narrative that could easily stand as analog for the depth of pieces like "Into the Light" or the sprawling "Vortex" itself, which opens the record (new and old editions) in an encompassing display of impulse and fluidity Through experiments in atmosphere like "March of the Cyclopes" and toward the finish of "Epilogue," Mouth married sounds that in other contexts would come up disparate, like finding a hidden magnetism between two north poles. Most of the Vortex songs were created on the spot in the studio. There would be no way to know it at the time, but this process would result in a collection of songs with a broad range, within as well as between the component tracks. "Parade" taps Sly Stone on the shoulder and asks if he wants to party (he does), while the penultimate "Soon After." resonates with its smoky, mellow-jazz vibe. "Vortex" itself happens over six movements and was put together across different sessions, while "Epilogue" happened in a day. Dissatisfaction with the original mix - and when an album has as much put into its arrangements as Vortex, that balance matters - would lead Mouth to offer Out of the Vortex in 2020 as a collection of alternate versions of pieces like "Mountain" and "Parade," as well as the unreleased "Ready" and "Homagotago's Paddle Boat Trip," the latter an apparent successor to a cut from Floating. But sometimes a thing nestles itself into the back of your head and just wont leave, and Mouths pursuit of a finished Vortex would lead them into the studio again. Koller handled the remix himself in Oct. 2023, and in addition to helming the new master, krautrock legend Eroc (who drummed in Grobschnitt) brought a gong to mark the beginning of "March of the Cyclopes." Like a lot of the finer touches on this Vortex, be it a hashed-out stretch in the title-track built on a drum/bass jam or just pulling the vocals and Hammond down a bit in "Epilogue," the result is a stylistic flourishing that was there all along throughout the journey and now can finally shine as the band intended. - JJ Koczan / Dec. 2023 400 copies purple wax!

NIGHTFYRE - FROM FORTUNE TO RUIN

Nightfyre hail from Munich, Germany and come to set the metal world on fire. After their demo CD, which sold 300 copies very quickly, their debut album "from fortune to ruin" will make it's mark on the German metal scene - cool melodies, classical clean vocals (early James Hetfield) and a great mix of midtempo stompers and fast uptempo mosher.

OAKHANDS - THE SHADOW OF YOUR GUARD RECEDING

Oakhands from Munich, Germany built their house right on the borders of post-hardcore, emo and indie rock. Their debut "The Shadow of Your Guard Receding" is the follow up to their critically acclaimed EP released by Uncle M in 2016. The band's new album will bring you 11 brand new tunes about family, mental health, social anxiety and masculinity in one's modern society, full of emotions and with its aesthetic compareable to the writers approach of the "Sturm & Drang" period. Their musical complexity and metaphorical abstraction in the form of storytelling may seem a bit artsy and stand in contrast to their stripped down live performances. Even so, they challenge the listener and bring an entirely new sound to "The Shadow of Your Guard Receding", which will be visualized by 7 conceptual videos telling one story on 3 different layers - so please dive into the world of Oakhands with all your concentration and passion you have for this adventurous piece of music.

PARK+RIOT - WISE WORDS FROM WELL-FED MOUTHS (COLOR)

What a demolition! Sometimes less is more - as we learned from the example of Park+Riot from Leipzig. Samuel and Micha play guitar and drums, and that's enough to kick up a riot. Somehow they are reminiscent of mid-90s chaoscore, with a crazy dash of post-rock and the necessary little melodies that make the songs stick in your head. Despite all this, the songs are extremely dense and coherent and don't seem pieced together or heterogeneous. What unites the songs is definitely a sense of rhythm and melody, which somehow brings even the most disjointed song back on track and almost allows pop moments to be heard. In "The End", for example, spoken word parts meet black metal bludgeoning attacks, in "Clouds", driving Swedish core parts meet post-metallic atmospheric strumming, only to pick up speed again with a great deal of lan and finally end in a hefty neckbreaker mosh - great! Here, three bands are united in one, and one of them has something to say on top of that. When the whole place is roaring along to the chorus of "Long Run", the last one knows that they are part of something really important.

PHANTOM WINTER - HER COLD MATERIALS

"Her Cold Materials" (named after Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" novel cycle, in which a teenager must find herself and save her world) is a coming-of-age folk horror tale of a teenage woman. When instrumental Doom act OMEGA MASSIF announced its break-up, members Andreas Schmittfull and Christof Rath reformed under the name PHANTOM WINTER. The aim was to create extreme music. They called the style "Winterdoom". Melancholy meets cold and anger. The drumming is brutal and staccato-like, reminding one of machines and monstrosities. Lots of noise, lots of anger, lots of Doom, Post and even Black Metal elements, apocalyptic scenarios set to music, dense atmosphere, subtle guitar melodies, a bit of drone, sometimes compact and sometimes epic. PHANTOM WINTER weave all these components lovingly and serve the whole outcome at the top level, with ornaments next to loads of dirt. Their live performances are always intense and angry, visitors like to compare them to church services.

SEE THROUGH DRESSES - SEE THROUGH DRESSES

See Through Dresses released their debut self-titled LP in November of 2013. Principal songwriters Mathew Carroll and Sara Bertuldo (which was part of Tim Kashers latest Album "Adult Film" and did the whole US-Tour), along with drummer Nate Van Fleet, have crafted a catalogue of songs indebted to classic post-punk and new wave artists of the 80's, but their sonic footprint more closely resembles the textural treatments of 90's dream-pop and shoegaze. The arrangements often build as though to erupt, only to implode. There are moments when Bertuldo and Carroll sound noxious and distant, their voices doused in reverb, their guitars droning and pulsing. When the clouds look dark, See Through Dresses offer flashes of pure pop sunshine to punctuate those moments of isolation and distance. At their most hopeful, they remind us of the simplicity of longing and the eagerness that accompanies an expectation for love in a loveless culture. At their most honest, See Through Dresses portray a dull terror born of idleness, sickness, and failure. The result is a well-rounded catalogue that disillusions as it comforts and soothes as it burns by injecting the familiarity of music-gone-by with lyrics about regrettable psychologies - its a total bummer thats still fun to listen to.

SEX BEAT - CALL ME

There it is... the beat of the big city - and I thought that the gang would all be retired and then the email flutters into the house: Peeps from Surf Nazis Must Die, Herpes, Heat... wild number, hit bold and impetuous... Now, a few months later, people have left and new ones have arrived and things are going well. Nothing has changed in the sound, the energetic quartet continues to deliver extremely driving upbeat post-punk or No Future sound. You can hear some Parquet Courts, some Uranium Club, some Dischord sound and 70s punk - cutting guitars, thumping bass and 16th-driven drums - hectic, rhythmic, pushing, sometimes hypnotically repetitive. And above all the scratchy singing of Florian Puhs who sings about all those big city/small town/youth/crazy things that sometimes seem very familiar and sometimes very unknown. There will definitely be answers to some of life's important questions - or do you know what Husker Du would do? Or what's going on with Dennis Rodman, why the elevator shouldn't take you down or what are the highs and low points in the life of an elevator boy?

SEX BEAT - CRACK

"Crack" is radical reduction - for their second album, the Berlin band stripped away all differences and embellishments, recording a punk album in their rehearsal space that needs no further genre labels. DIY isnt a gimmick here but an unavoidable necessity - Crack was made without a studio, without a producer, and without a clue. SEXBEAT approaches punk with historical awareness, drawing from a wide range of influences, from Oblivians and Suicide to Hot Snakes. Sonically, they take cues from the '90s Dischord Records catalog: bass and drums drive forward, while guitar and vocals spit and snarl in between. The songs shift between being heavily fragmented and mechanical to intricately crafted, but they always remain raw and unfiltered. Lyrically, its all about what grinds your gears: broken politics, broken society, and all the little broken things within ourselves. References range from Gordon Solie Motherfkers** ("Give them a dirty floor for a stage. A five bucks show and I'm stoked for days") to George Orwell ("Four legs good, two legs bad"). And in the end, even Grammy winner Beck gets a nod, because overarching it all is: "You make me wanna try crack."

SHUN - SONGS FROM THE CENTRIFUGE (180 GR BLUE)

Songs from the Centrifuge is the debut LP from SHUN. The neo shoegaze group from Münster have made a name with their previously released four-song tape Nothing Quite As Heavy, playing shows across Europe with bands such as Slow Crush, Odd Couple and 80s heroes The Psychedelic Furs. The debut album now finally brings us new material from the band, showcasing their evolution into higher spheres. Featuring some heavy, distorted, yet swayingly dreamy shoegaze for fans of Nothing or Slowdive, the lead single "Centrifuge" shows only one of many dimensions that SHUN incorporate in their style. Other songs like "Dreaming in Color" and "Heavy Reverie" see the band leveraging irresistible dream pop and indie rock vibes, while everything is tied together in a somber space-gloom that is probably felt at its harshest in ,RPM". Shoegaze purists will find that Songs from the Centrifuge is much more than just another shoegaze record, with influences from space rock á la Spiritualized and more beat-driven arrangements from the likes of DIIV or The Chameleons. Production and engineering duties were fulfilled by Pogo McCartney of Messer fame, while the stunning artwork was contributed by Benny Druckwelle (The Tidal Sleep, Spirit Crusher), both of which managed to capture the retrofuturistic essence of Songs from the Centrifuge perfectly.

This rat pack from berlin will blow your mind. Think of hi-tops, beer & thrashing! you haven't been caught headbangin' lately? Reminiscent of my late 80s skateboarding with D.R.I. on the walkmen. This is absolutely pure 80's thrash metal like old Agent Steel - a fast, ripping & in your face old-school attack. "From time to time modern day metal bands decide to keep the traditions alive, Space Chaser are no exception. The Thrash Metal quintet from Berlin release their premiere demo this year and it showed excellency right from the first riff, this is 80's style Thrash Metal in the vein of Anthrax and Metallica mostly, with the classic and easily detectable riffs and signature drumming as the backdrop, Space Chaser are nowhere near the Teutonic Thrash Metal style that has plagued the German metal scene for years. As long as they keep this up, they could make a name for themselves in the European metal scenes, you won't need a time travel machine to see 80's Thrash Metal, let the Space Chaser get it for you."

SUIR - NOT ALL OF YOUR PAIN IS SELF CHOSEN

White vinyl. (Cold Wave/PostPunk) SUIR is a duo based in Cologne, which started in the beginning of 2017 when Denis Wanic (guitar and vocals) and Lucia Seiß (synths, guitar and bass) joined forces for their band project. In a constant play of guitars and synthesizers, supported by minimalist and electronic drum rhythms and melancholic lyrics, SUIR produces reverberated shoegaze and cinematic, atmospheric music defined by dense and complex sound walls. This rich, velvety sound constantly shifts between post punk, dark shoegaze, heavy dark wave, and psych, but due to their own sound creations, none of these genres can be unambiguously attributed. The music combines heavily influences by contemporary bands like Bleib Modern, The Underground Youth, The KVB, The Brian Jonestown Massacre or shoegaze pioneers like My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain.

TAUSEND AUGEN - SCHOCK

Taking the off-kilter motorik side of krautrock as a starting point and infusing it with noise, experimental rock, psychedelia and electronic sounds to create a mixture that is as steeped in its influences as it is pointing to the future. Play less and straight, reduce to break loose, minimize to maximize, change through repetition, don't take the first exit - keep going. Schock: at the breaking point from electronic to electro and electric, the rhythm goes on and on from the Westend into the shadowland of the Anthropocene: Schock. Schock: the next step on the staircase up, down and to the other side into the mirror world. Schock: what comes after the end of reality? The universe as a comic, future music from the nightmare factory, a spy mirror into the next world: Schock. After the first album Westend, Schock is more consistent, more reduced, more electronic. Analog synthesizers meet post-punk guitars and motorik beats, vocoder voices appear and disappear between noise and melody, the soundtrack to another present.

WALL - WALL

Wall, or how much pathos can you take? These five dudes from Cologne/Bonn are a v2 rocket filled with pink flowers, are a cotton candy thunderstorm, bringing a war ensemble full of melody and heavyness. Sounding like 13 tons of candy falling on your cranium from a mile-high tower crane during a solar eclipse - think of God Flesh, Jesu and the mighty Floor. Yes, you're right - it is damn massive! Seven Brand new Songs! Lp cover is die cut and silkscreened! Comes with printed innersleeves and digital download. "As this album is something special indeed. If you're a fan of Torche then your going to love it. Simple. This album is simply breathtaking from start to finish. It is brilliantly produced and played by everyone involved.

WARM GRAVES - SHIPS WILL COME (COLOR)

WARM GRAVES "is an up-and-coming sci-fi-delic 3 piece band from leipzig that evokes a surreal cosmos of dirty analog dystopian scapes. Sliding on hypnotic grids with one song bleeding into the next, the band follows pulsing rythms from heavy handed drums. Haunted vocals shout their way through droning ambience only to be swallowed by the next reverberating wave. Having just recorded their debut album ,Ships Will Come" they already headed out to play with bands like Moonface, The Soft Moon, Crystal Stilts and Efterklang." Limited white vinyl.

WAYWARD - WAYWARD

Four lads from Leipzig, Germany (two of which also perform in the band Deathrite) launch a new band called Wayward! They are out to play some nasty rock'n'roll, like holy Motörhead in 1979 wielding the quintessential theme of destruction at every gig, just for the hell of it! The band attended the same school, teaching themselves how to play dirty, streetrock like Fast Eddie Clarke. One can instantly recognize their love for hard rock and early NWOBHM, listener's can hear traces of the pre-Mercyful Fate gang, or perhaps The Brats teaming up with Girlschool; sounds resonating with very early Judas Priest or Tank. Back in the golden days where the borders between rock, punk or metal weren't as clearly divided as today, Wayward would have easily fit in, free from modern influence.

WOLF MOUNTAINS - SUPERHEAVVY

...these three dudes from stuttgart seem to be relaxed as relaxed can be. no hurries, always on the edge of being bored to death, their new album "Super Heavvy" lulls you like a caring mother just to to the point where you almost fall asleep - and then, like a squieking circular saw "Vacation" kicks in - a 2 minute John Dwyer-like surf/garage-guitar inferno, a stomper for every garage-jam. BÄNG! surprise my friend, don't feel too cosy in you "mr. heard it all"-cave. there are a few more unexpected turns for you. you'll find cheasy lofi- Weezer-esque jams, scetch-like short songs, instrumentals... this sound like coming straight from Williamsburg.

BASK - AMERICAN HOLLOW

With roots in americana, stoner metal and post-rock, Bask is turning out their own brand of doom. Psychedelic, heavy, and scenic songs weave through sections of driving riffs, thundering percussion, loose grooves and glimmering guitar. All topped with vocals that conjure spirits of old country crooners. "Bask are a young band from North Carolina that play a highly original blend of Americana, country, post-rock and stoner/doom metal. American Hollow is the bands debut on The Path Less Traveled Records and, without a doubt, I can say it is one of the most unique records Ive come across in years. "High Mountain Pass" is an energetic album opener, starting with a half-time shuffle that breaks into a pretty straight-forward stoner rock groove, similar to some of the less aggressive tunes by Red Fang. The vocals have a pretty noticeable twang to them, giving the music a distinctly country vibe, though with a bit more power and volume than anything youll hear on a modern country record. The vocals are a strong point, to be sure, but the music theyre soaring over is just as powerful; jangly guitars, low rumbly bass, and big drums that are pretty reminiscent of the tone John Bonham laid down in classic Led Zeppelin, though with a little more dynamics. The first track might be a little misleading though, as the rest of the album has an almost dreamlike feel to them, particularly on the slower songs like "American Hollow" and "A Mans Worth," both of which have a melancholy country-like feel to them. "American Hollow" in particular has a post-rock, indie rock vibe mixed in, almost like Band Of Horses, except Bask go into a bit heavier territory, whereas Band Of Horses obviously have a more radio-friendly vibe." For fans of Led Zeppelin, Red Fang, and Band of Horses.

CLOSET DISCO QUEEN - CLOSET DISCO QUEEN

Again? Jona Nido and Luc Hess (COILGUNS, KUNZ, THE OCEAN, THE FAWN, SCHWARZ, etc.) have a new hot friend. She came out of her auntie's closet and will ruin your teenage disco. The loudest cheerleader you've ever seen - barely dressed and roughly combed, queue jumping everyone at the entrance of the club. Here she comes, out of nowhere and without warning, carried around by two of the sexiest bodyguards - like she always belonged. Fact is that girl can dance. She dares. She rocks. Odd and weird, charming enough to turn any of her nights into a freak show. We all knew these two guys were party animals, but this band will bring them to a whole new level of frenzy. That CLOSET DISCO QUEEN delivers 70's instrumental psycheledic kraut rock'n'roll progressive beats for your ass to shake and your shoes to burn. Huuuh, you nasty girl. For fans of Oxxes, Don Caballero, Russian Circle.

Take no prisoners! CRYPTS from Germany deliver very true old school deathmetal, no gimmicks, no intos, pure and simple stripped down end of the 80s style. Without any exaggeration you can name Morgoth, early Entombed, Hail Of Bullets or Autopsy as comparisons - techically fit, great songwriting, a fantastic singer, who, if i can believe the band, growls even in normal conversations. This record has the power to raise the dead and everyone who has more than three OSDM records in their posession will probably adore COVEN OF THE DEAD.

DEMON HEAD - RIDE THE WILDERNESS

After this Copenhagen 5 piece formed in 2012, released a demo EP and a two-track EP, the first longplayer of top knotch doom will be released through TCM. The previously released songs were recorded once again and put on the new record. Rock is the backbone of the record, the ghosts of classic rock bands haunts this records, but not taking over the sound of the band. The vocals are reminiscent of Danzig and Year Of the Goat, but less anthemic and more gritty. The guitar sound is not overly distorted, which gives this record the taste of old spiderwebs from a tomb, but played in the fashion of Thin Lizzy. The lyrical center orbits around doom rock topics, like occults, fantasy, close to In Solitude and Cirith Ungol. Obviously these dudes gave the universe, demons and drugs a serious thought! As if the last 30 years of metal evolution weren't there, the band strikes through distorted blues riffs, spooky lyrics and mind crippling slow drum parts. This proto-doom band swings like Bill Ward, battling through guitar parts when Tommi Iommi and Victor Griffin meet in hell, topped with the reminiscient sound of Bobby Liebling. Blues, swing and soul mixed in satans kitchen, can't miss this!

FLESHWORLD - THE ESSENCE HAS CHANGED, BUT THE DETAILS REMA

A five-piece band from Kraków, Poland, revolving around the concepts of uncertainty and change, beauty found in decay, and the indescribable emotions. Unpleasant, noisy, and melodic sludgy post-hardcore, evoking nostalgia, regret, and uneasiness. 2019 will see the release of their new album, "The Essence Has Changed, but the Details Remain" through This Charming Man Records. It blends blackened hardcore with melancholic screamo, and psychedelic improvisation. The album was recorded entirely live in Monochrome Studio, a reclusive retreat in the Silesian wilderness, engineered by Haldor Grunberg from Satanic Audio (Thaw, Behemoth) and mixed/mastered by Sylvain Biguet, who also worked with artists like Birds in Row, Death Engine, Valve, or As We Draw. Fleshworld was initially founded in 2010 as an electronic/post rock duo, the band gradually grew and developed. For a while they revolved around the post-rock/post-metal genres. Since then, the band has been getting heavier and more aggressive with each iteration, while still retaining a certain introspective mood and melodic approach. FFO: Bird In Row, Death Engine, Celeste

FREIBURG - BRIEF & SIEGEL

A new breaker from This Charming Man, a newer band that has stripped off their children's clothes with the third disc and is now giving full throttle. On the one hand the forward-lookingness of a Hamburg punk school, grandma Hans, clearly Turbostaat (the older things), on the other hand a higher aggressiveness and directness of 90s US Emo. This sounds so well and properly produced that Tobi Neumann (nozzle hunter) wanted to share a song. He got it and got it right: the guys know how they sound and how they arrange songs. Especially the voice can so intensify, that the whole shit, against which Freiburg sings even more avalanche-like. Whether they know Freiburg is a total hippy town? Hopefully not, otherwise they would make hippiescheisse. Or just because of the name: Here is the appearance and the theme, the fault in the perfect, the desire to scream, when everything is really quite good. Or so. (Contraszt)

GREAT BEYOND, THE - A BETTER PLACE

These fellas from Muncih Germany are a typical power rock trio mayhem, which took me instantly as I listened to their first recorded demos! They pretty much sound like they look: bone-dry, dusty & oldschool 70s rock - if you dig Mountain Witch or Kadavar, you pretty sure can connect with these 5 songs. On their 12" they show a wide range of classic rock styles, slowed down Graveyard-eque tunes also as uptempo driven rock hymns. the one thing, which will be the TGB-signature will be the high pitched singing of Leon, who reminds a little of mix of Stephen Brodsky (Cave In / Mutoid Man) and John Dyer Baizley of mighty Baroness!

GREAT BEYOND, THE - THE GREAT BEYOND

One year after their well-received debut EP for This Charming Man, The Great Beyond from Munich, Germany unleash their first full-length LP upon fans of heavy psyched 70s rock! The band decided to step back from the predecessor's rather relaxed guitar work and instead focus on highly dynamic, pushing riffing that relies much more on groove and pure rock energy. The vintage vibe is still present in abundance, combining the raw power of Queens of the Stone Age with a spectacular hard rock feeling. Fans of classics and the recent German 70s rock wave in particular should definitely get in on this release!

HEAT - LABYRINTH

HEAT are more than able to match up to the likes of Witchcraft and Graveyard!!! Following on from the success of their 2012 self-titled debut, This Charming Man Records is pleased to announce the release Labyrinth, of the second album by the Berlin-based hard rock outfit. Heat are unmistakably taken with a time when all great records came adorned with monochrome swirls and elaborate sleeves depicting worlds of necromancy, witches and cosmic encounters. Featuring former members of The Hara-Kee-Rees, Samsara Blues Experiment and Grandloom their self-titled debut on Electric Magic Records was a heavy-blues driven journey into the very heart of the 1970's. Which, regardless of your particular predilection for classic rock saw the Berlin five-piece strike every chord. On their follow up - much like Swedish hard rock revivalists Graveyard and Horisont - Heat continue to revel in the buzz of audacious twin guitar solos, Hammond organs and telepathic band jams.

HOW I LEFT - BIRDS IN THE CITY

In the middle of the southern German province, where small grapes become delicious wine, the very own and soothing sound for lovers is created. How I Left creates music that will make fans of the Weakerthans, Wilco or Ben Kweller feel good in their stomachs, think slacker-folk meets catchy indie-pop! Cozy drums and bass rumble, over it loose guitars, an old piano and the Philicorda home organ from the bulky waste. As soon as the vocals start, the trained ear wonders when the vocal fusion of Paul Simon, Neil Young and Conor Oberst took place. The lyrics are reminiscent of American Short Stories - everyday situations, curious headlines and interpersonal encounters merge into literary miniatures. Stubborn with a pinch of esprit! One half of the duo, Julian Bätz (vocals, guitar, piano, organ), can be found more often as Helmet Lampshade with the songwriting jewel Marcel Gein in all kinds of concert and recording situations. He also tours Europe with Rocky Votolato or works on his current solo album with Olaf O.P.A.L. (The Notwist) or Sebastian L. Phillip (Die Wilde Jagd). The How I Left Magic is created by jazz drummer Michy Muuf (the other duo half). The casually pointed drumming swings straight into the heart - memories of Levon Helm from "The Band" come to mind. Put into shape by mixing and mastering mastermind Christian Bethge (Stella Sommer, Messer, Gewalt), the two create music together that has never been heard before in this country. It sounds at least as good as the vino from this corner of the republic tastes. Word of honour!

KOSMONOVSKI - KOSMONOVSKI

KOSMONOVSKI are from Germany - yes, a new band walking in the path of good old Muff Potter. I know Holger for a long time, he played in The A.M. Thawn and is a hell of a drummer. In Kosmonovski he is playing guitar and sings - together with a whole gang of other musicians - let's say it like this: this is a special kind of muscial endeavour - anyways- these guys know how to play poppy punkrock almost Indie like songs - think of middle phased Muff Potter, early Matula, early Schrottgrenze. you'll get the picture. They will be on the road shortly and we have a whole bunch of surprises and projects waiting for you. FFO: german EmoPunk

MOJO JAZZ MOB - FROM BETWEEN THE FIELDS

These lads are some old-timers out of Munich area - around forever, well known for their energy-fueled performances. Music wise they straddle three chairs - and build their own, with one leg Scandinavian rock of the 90s, one coming from the metal classics of the 80s and one from modern heavy music. Think of a wild mix of Kyuss, Spiritual Beggars, Black Sabbath, C.O.C., Fu Manchu and Thin Lizzy. Their singer reminds a bit of Nathan Gray from Boysetsfire, but without the often annoying pathos.

"This album was one of my top albums to look out for in 2015. Does it live up to expectations? You betcha. The Moth has delivered an album that outclasses the debut album in every respect. It seems The Moth have upped their game for this release as the album ventures into more progressive territory with elements of Thrash Metal appearing now and then. (.) The Moth have created an album that is going to end up on a few Best of 2015 album lists. Its already grabbed a place on mine.

MOUNTAIN WITCH - BURNING VILLAGE

Doomy hard rockers Mountain Witch took the underworld by storm with their late 2013 LP 'Cold River'. Their gameplan was simple and effective: take the low-end darkness of Black Sabbath and the pugilistic riffing of Judas Priest and drape them in shadow. One could be forgiven for misreading the album title 'Cold River' as 'Reel to reel tape found in the cellar of an abandoned house in the woods, circa 1976'. Now, two and a half years later, the northern German trio is back with their second album, 'Burning Village'. In the interim between albums Mountain Witch broke the bank on focusing and tightening their songcraft, honing the edge of their established identity while mining previously untapped potential: adding dimension, widening the scope and prominence of the vocals and worshipping the riff with increasing fervor. 'Burning Village' is horror literature in leather and inked-stained denim, protometal from Innsmouth, the soundtrack of choice for Dunwich by night. At this point the band is out of the cellar and out of the woods. Unleashed on an unsuspecting world Mountain Witch is ready to patrol stages and burn down villages with their riff-fueled fury.

MOUNTAIN WITCH - EXTINCT CULTS

The new Mountain Witch record "Extinct Cults" will be the last before a longer break, so both the main dudes Rene & Rene decided to do it properly - so why not take the main Mountain Witch doom flavour and add some new ingredients, like organs and some nice background vocals? Then record it the old school way and guess what: you will get a magnificent written, great sounding, genre bending 70s rock record. They jumped from 1970 to let's say 1976, took the main Black Sabbath worship and added a bit more melody here and there... Not only KADAVAR or HEAT fans will be satisfied, even more progresive stuff like early SCORPIONS or CREAM can be spotted - lets say they added more 70s hardrock vibe. This all sums up to an excellent bundle of six new songs! FFO: Mountain Witch, Black Sabbath, Kadavar, Heat, Demon Head, Cream, Horisont, Hällas

NEORITE - TEMPLE OF THE NEW

Est. in 2016 in Munich, Germany NEORITE released their first full-length album "Temple Of The New" via This Charming Man Records in July 2019. By debut standards, this album distinctly reveals the whole range of Neorite's musical capacity and hints at the band's development potential on the albums to come already. Primarily rooted in doom metal, NEORITE process further influences from alternative/wave and classic rock to thrash and black metal, themselves referring to it as 'metal noir' in order to emphasize their wistful take on both music and lyrics. While audibly referring to their diverse influences, the band's own vision rings out all over the place. The distinctive voice of Alexander Mock (think of Nick Holmes blended with J.D. Cronise) dominates the whole soundscape and conciliates the pieces in the puzzle in an integral whole, best shown on the album-defining track "Neology Of Enlightenment". FFO: Red Fang, The Sword

NIGHTFYRE - FROM FORTUNE TO RUIN

Nightfyre hail from Munich, Germany and come to set the metal world on fire. After their demo CD, which sold 300 copies very quickly, their debut album "from fortune to ruin" will make it's mark on the German metal scene - cool melodies, classical clean vocals (early James Hetfield) and a great mix of midtempo stompers and fast uptempo mosher. These guys remind me of Cauldron, Voture, Enforcer or White Wizzard. So saddle your battlehorse, sword-brothers - the soundtrack of your next glorious adventure is about to play loud!

PHANTOM WINTER - HER COLD MATERIALS

"Her Cold Materials" (named after Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" novel cycle, in which a teenager must find herself and save her world) is a coming-of-age folk horror tale of a teenage woman. When instrumental Doom act OMEGA MASSIF announced its break-up, members Andreas Schmittfull and Christof Rath reformed under the name PHANTOM WINTER. The aim was to create extreme music. They called the style "Winterdoom". Melancholy meets cold and anger. The drumming is brutal and staccato-like, reminding one of machines and monstrosities. Lots of noise, lots of anger, lots of Doom, Post and even Black Metal elements, apocalyptic scenarios set to music, dense atmosphere, subtle guitar melodies, a bit of drone, sometimes compact and sometimes epic. PHANTOM WINTER weave all these components lovingly and serve the whole outcome at the top level, with ornaments next to loads of dirt. Their live performances are always intense and angry, visitors like to compare them to church services.

SEE THROUGH DRESSES - SEE THROUGH DRESSES

See Through Dresses released their debut self-titled LP in November of 2013. Principal songwriters Mathew Carroll and Sara Bertuldo (which was part of Tim Kashers latest Album "Adult Film" and did the whole US-Tour), along with drummer Nate Van Fleet, have crafted a catalogue of songs indebted to classic post-punk and new wave artists of the 80's, but their sonic footprint more closely resembles the textural treatments of 90's dream-pop and shoegaze. The arrangements often build as though to erupt, only to implode. There are moments when Bertuldo and Carroll sound noxious and distant, their voices doused in reverb, their guitars droning and pulsing. When the clouds look dark, See Through Dresses offer flashes of pure pop sunshine to punctuate those moments of isolation and distance. At their most hopeful, they remind us of the simplicity of longing and the eagerness that accompanies an expectation for love in a loveless culture. At their most honest, See Through Dresses portray a dull terror born of idleness, sickness, and failure. The result is a well-rounded catalogue that disillusions as it comforts and soothes as it burns by injecting the familiarity of music-gone-by with lyrics about regrettable psychologies - its a total bummer thats still fun to listen to.

SHUN - SONGS FROM THE CENTRIFUGE

Songs from the Centrifuge is the debut LP from SHUN. The neo shoegaze group from Münster have made a name with their previously released four-song tape Nothing Quite As Heavy, playing shows across Europe with bands such as Slow Crush, Odd Couple and 80s heroes The Psychedelic Furs. The debut album now finally brings us new material from the band, showcasing their evolution into higher spheres. Featuring some heavy, distorted, yet swayingly dreamy shoegaze for fans of Nothing or Slowdive, the lead single "Centrifuge" shows only one of many dimensions that SHUN incorporate in their style. Other songs like "Dreaming in Color" and "Heavy Reverie" see the band leveraging irresistible dream pop and indie rock vibes, while everything is tied together in a somber space-gloom that is probably felt at its harshest in ,RPM". Shoegaze purists will find that Songs from the Centrifuge is much more than just another shoegaze record, with influences from space rock á la Spiritualized and more beat-driven arrangements from the likes of DIIV or The Chameleons. Production and engineering duties were fulfilled by Pogo McCartney of Messer fame, while the stunning artwork was contributed by Benny Druckwelle (The Tidal Sleep, Spirit Crusher), both of which managed to capture the retrofuturistic essence of Songs from the Centrifuge perfectly.

This rat pack from Berlin will blow your mind. Think of hi-tops, beer & thrashing! you haven't been caught headbangin' lately? Reminiscent of my late 80s skateboarding with D.R.I. on the walkmen. This is absolutely pure 80's thrash metal like old Agent Steel - a fast, ripping & in your face old-school attack. "From time to time modern day metal bands decide to keep the traditions alive, Space Chaser are no exception. The Thrash Metal quintet from Berlin release their premiere demo this year and it showed excellency right from the first riff, this is 80's style Thrash Metal in the vein of Anthrax and Metallica mostly, with the classic and easily detectable riffs and signature drumming as the backdrop, Space Chaser are nowhere near the Teutonic Thrash Metal style that has plagued the German metal scene for years. As long as they keep this up, they could make a name for themselves in the European metal scenes, you won't need a time travel machine to see 80's Thrash Metal, let the Space Chaser get it for you."

TAUSEND AUGEN - SCHOCK

Taking the off-kilter motorik side of krautrock as a starting point and infusing it with noise, experimental rock, psychedelia and electronic sounds to create a mixture that is as steeped in its influences as it is pointing to the future. Play less and straight, reduce to break loose, minimize to maximize, change through repetition, don't take the first exit - keep going. Schock: at the breaking point from electronic to electro and electric, the rhythm goes on and on from the Westend into the shadowland of the Anthropocene: Schock. Schock: the next step on the staircase up, down and to the other side into the mirror world. Schock: what comes after the end of reality? The universe as a comic, future music from the nightmare factory, a spy mirror into the next world: Schock. After the first album Westend, Schock is more consistent, more reduced, more electronic. Analog synthesizers meet post-punk guitars and motorik beats, vocoder voices appear and disappear between noise and melody, the soundtrack to another present.

WARM GRAVES - SHIPS WILL COME

WARM GRAVES "is an up-and-coming sci-fi-delic 3 piece band from leipzig that evokes a surreal cosmos of dirty analog dystopian scapes. Sliding on hypnotic grids with one song bleeding into the next, the band follows pulsing rythms from heavy handed drums. Haunted vocals shout their way through droning ambience only to be swallowed by the next reverberating wave. Having just recorded their debut album ,Ships Will Come" they already headed out to play with bands like Moonface, The Soft Moon, Crystal Stilts and Efterklang."

WAYWARD - WAYWARD

Four lads from Leipzig, Germany (two of which also perform in the band Deathrite) launch a new band called Wayward! They are out to play some nasty rock'n'roll, like holy Motörhead in 1979 wielding the quintessential theme of destruction at every gig, just for the hell of it! The band attended the same school, teaching themselves how to play dirty, streetrock like Fast Eddie Clarke. One can instantly recognize their love for hard rock and early NWOBHM, listener's can hear traces of the pre-Mercyful Fate gang, or perhaps The Brats teaming up with Girlschool; sounds resonating with very early Judas Priest or Tank. Back in the golden days where the borders between rock, punk or metal weren't as clearly divided as today, Wayward would have easily fit in, free from modern influence.

TRACKLISTING:  01. MIDNIGHT BLOOD 02. HELLRIDE 03. CALL OF THE MISTRESS 04. SHE IS THE DEVIL 05. FOREVER DAMNED 06. THE RIPPER 07. ALCHEMY OF POISON 08. DEAD END ROAD 09. BAD VIBE BOOGIE

WOLF MOUNTAINS - SUPERHEAVVY

...these three dudes from stuttgart seem to be relaxed as relaxed can be. no hurries, always on the edge of being bored to death, their new album "Super Heavvy" lulls you like a caring mother just to to the point where you almost fall asleep - and then, like a squieking circular saw "Vacation" kicks in - a 2 minute John Dwyer-like surf/garage-guitar inferno, a stomper for every garage-jam. BÄNG! surprise my friend, don't feel too cosy in you "mr. heard it all"-cave. there are a few more unexpected turns for you. you'll find cheasy lofi- Weezer-esque jams, scetch-like short songs, instrumentals... this sound like coming straight from Williamsburg. Ralv Milberg (Die Nerven, Karies) recorded these 14 tracks. Members of Die Nerven, Mosquito Ego und Levin Goes Lightly

TRACKLISTING:  01. HELLO FOLKS 02. STOMP 03. VACATION 04. FALLING DOWN YR STAIRS 05. FOR SURE (THAT'S A FACT) 06. DO WHAT YOU WANT 07. SUMMER'S GONE PT. II 08. ONE DAY FLU 09. COYOTE 10. A GENTLE WIND 11. LOCOMOTION 12. NOBODY ELSE WILL KNOW 13. DON'T SCREW UP 14. TAKE ME HOME
