"With their debut album The Process of Self-Immolation, it is evident that Alraune will be solidified as one of the most devastating new black metal bands in North America. The Process of Self-Immolation is an album that unleashes a striking display of visceral, twisted, and chaotic black metal. The compositions within are complex and overwhelming, yet maintain tangibility through the band's sense of songwriting exploring this sonically melancholic and harsh soundscape."

"After recording and releasing 2012's critically acclaimed Dragged from Our Restless Trance LP via Forcefield Records, Bastard Sapling has ventured to push their other-worldly black metal creation further into the shattered abyss. After spending years crafting new material, they put their songs in the capable hands of Kevin Bernsten (Triac, Mutilation Rites, Ilsa) at Developing Nations in Baltimore, MD. Simultaneously starker and more serene than their previous efforts, Instinct Is Forever is a step forward in terms of Bastard Sapling's traditional Scandinavian influences being warped by their own geography and a new experimental approach."

"For six years fans of Sea of Bones waited for a proper full-length follow up to their 2007 demo, The Harvest. Although time generally brings decay and death to everything it touches, the result was quite the opposite with Sea of Bones. In 2013 they returned with The Earth Wants Us Dead, an album of sludging, droning doom containing obvious, but subtle, psychedelic influences. The songs on Earth -- are sprawling and massive, destructive and intense, with plodding, atmospheric power. Following the doom assault, comes the title track of the album. A single, 39-minute drone composition that lays the album to rest. Allowing the listener time for reflection and recovery across two full sides of vinyl." Housed in a double gatefold 3LP; includes download code.
