BETRAYAL - The Passing (Limited Run Vinyl/Legends Of Rock CD)
Betrayal was one of the more extreme thrash bands from the early ‘90’s scene, not only because of Chris Ackerman’s unorthodox death metal vocal qualities but also because they were willing to deal with topics no one wanted to touch, like Satanism, abortion and child abuse, racial hypocrisy and political corruption – a stance which might have cost them a shot at “success.” Their first two releases are now available on CD as part of Girder’s Legends of Rock series and on vinyl
BETRAYAL - Renaissance By Death (Limited Run Vinyl)
Somewhere around 1987, a nicely packaged self-released cassette fell into my hands — Death is Dead by Martyr. It was making a little buzz in the Christian metal scene, with a raw borderline thrash metal sound that few in the Christian scene were playing, but a style that was quickly catching on with a growing roster of bands.

Doom/ Sludge Metal Band MEMORIUM Release First New Single in Over 25 Years
Doom/ sludge metal band Memorium returns by accident?? It seems that the two members of crust band Blood Will Be Shed had prior musical history in the band Memorium over 25 years ago. When recordings for new Blood Will Be Shed music took a doomy turn, the members fell into their old groove and Memorium was reborn with a new purpose: to honor God through bone crunching metal music. If that's enough to pique your itching metal ears, Memorium would like to premiere their brand n

A HILL TO DIE UPON - Infinite Titanic Immortal (Limited Run Vinyl)

The background info is mostly from the record label page, but with additional information I have added: Angelica was one of those 80's cult releases that brought in fans from all over the globe and the brainchild of guitarist extraordinaire, Dennis Cameron. Their self-titled debut is the only one to feature the voic
