In July of 2007 we released our first LP record!!! It's Rotterdam poppunkrockers The Apers' fourth album, Reanimate my Heart. We released it on 180 grams vinyl. Both The Apers and us agree it's their best one yet. You can tjek three songs of it out on the Apers' myspace, and one on ours. Follow the links. And tjek out the Apers when they play near you. Order it at your local record store, or mailorder it from our web site (click link left).November 2007 saw the release of the second on Heavy birtH records. Italian stonerrockers El Thule's second album is a solid hour of heavy punked up angry stonerrock. It has been pressed on green-and-black vinyl, and it's a double LP. It includes a bonus dvd, not available with the cd version of the album, with a video clip, three live songs and some making of footage. This album will also be available from our webstore. You can tjek out three songs out on El Thule's myspace and we have one song that is also on theirs.
In May 2008 we released a re-issue of the debut full length album of New Jersey's doommetal giants Solace, Further. The complete edition on a beautiful double album with a new sleeve, painted by their house artist Paul Vismara. Including Iron Maiden and Misfits covers.
In June 2008 we finalised the release of the series of 7" singles Removal from Vancouver, Canada started to release with guest singers in 2000. Removal play a weird mix of music, which is fairly hard to describe. Because 75% of their riffs are metal, I think they fit my bill. For this single they asked guest vocalits are Ralph Spite (Victims Family) and Chris Hannah (Propagandhi) to lend their voice.
At the end of 2008, we finally got the plagued split single of Bible of the Devil (Chicago, IL) and Valkyrie (Rockbridge County, VA). It may have been plagued, but it rocks like hell!!! On blood red or light blue vinyl.
November 2008 saw the release of the debut album of Belgian metal veterans Solenoid. The band have been together for 5 years, but members have played for ages before this band. Influences of Motörhead, Iron Maiden and other bands from the NWOBHM are obvious, but Solenoid take everything up a notch with modern influences reminiscent of stonerrock, and Slayer. The album has earned critical acclaim all over Europe. A fine example of a band that shows their influences without simply rehashing their idols.
When we first started this label, the first thing we asked Bible of the Devil was if they had never been asked to release a vinyl album. They had, but it never had come to be until then. But.... fresh from the press: their fifth full length album, Freedom Metal, is the first to appear on vinyl. People who know Bible of the Devil understand that this is nothing like flagwaving blind American patriotism, Freedom Metal celebrates the freedom the music gives to a free spirit. First 100 copies come with a comic book about Mods & Rockers, completely Quadrophenia-stylay.
