ANTI-GOTH 152

Nuclear War Now’s tenth year of destruction continues with one of the most anticipated releases ever to carry the gunmen logo. At last Autopsy will receive the NWN! vinyl treatment with the release of “Awakened By Gore.” This vinyl reissue of Autopsy’s legendary demos will be essential for every worshiper of the Bay Areas kings of scum-drenched Death Metal. These demos capture the vile and despicable nature of the band in its most primitive incarnations. In addition to the demo recordings, this release also contains a bonus LP featuring one side of rare and unreleased rehearsal and live recordings while the other side is etched with artwork. The Die Hard will be accompanied by a booklet of rare photos and gig flyers as well as a full-color back patch featuring the new cover artwork by Andrei Bouzikov and foil stamp/etching artwork by Putrid created especially for this release. Even more impressive though is the deluxe “book style” LP jacket packaging designed expressly for this reissue. This is unquestionably one of the most elaborate NWN! releases and, as such, has been reserved for one of the most important bands to have ever emerged from the catacombs of the U.S. underground metal scene. Of course any Autopsy fan is by now also well aware that the band has been resurrected and is now in the process of writing and recording new material. Thus, this reissue of their earliest work also honors the nearly 25 years of mayhem and sickness for which Autopsy is responsible and the ongoing continuation of that carnage.

Customers ordering the Autopsy Die Hard should also expect another bonus with their orders. For ten years, NWN! supporters have consistently demonstrated their loyalty to the label which has, in turn, allowed the label to grow beyond what I could have ever imagined it would become. In return for that support, I will include a free NWN! record into every order for an Autopsy Die Hard placed through October 30, 2010. It would be impossible for me to honor requests so please do not attempt to ask me to include a specific release. I will be selecting them at random for inclusion into the orders. This offer only applies to customers ordering the Die Hard edition of the Autopsy “Awakened By Gore” DLP. – YK Insulter

VON “Satanic Blood Ritual” DVD
ANTI-GOTH 161

Click on image to see more photos.

There is virtually nothing that needs to be said regarding the tremendous importance of the video footage collected on this DVD. For the first time, fans of VON can see the imposing power of their performance. Very few VON fans ever had the opportunity to see this band in a live setting. Their live performance, however, is an integral part of the essence of VON. In the same way that VON’s music was simple but effective, the band’s live image was similarly minimal but calculated. Unlike many of their contemporaries, VON’s imagery was not marred by being trapped in a particular time and place. The aesthetic of VON is timeless and is as powerful now as it was then. This DVD collects the only video footage of VON known to exist. The two shows presented here both took place in the Bay Area. The second of these two shows contains a song entitled “Jesus Stain” that has never before been released. In addition to the video footage, the DVD comes with an 8 page booklet and a DVD slideshow containing previously unreleased band photos. This DVD is essential for understanding VON. VON was more than just a band that released a few demos. During their short existence VON created an entire aesthetic universe. Each element, the music, the lyrics, the artwork, and the live performance coalesced into the composite whole of VON.

Morbosidad/Perversor Split CD
ANTI-GOTH 158

This new split marks the return of the mighty Morbosidad and a new set of unholy hymns by Chile’s perversor. The Morbosidad side constitutes the most aggressive tracks that the band has conjured in years. On this release, the putrid vocals of Tomas Stench are accopanied by the devastating fury of members of Hacavitz. The production on these tracks is more refined and the songwriting is more severe than on other recent Morbsidad recordings making it a triumphant return to form for the Morboso demons. For their side, Perversor continues to deliver some of the most vile Deathrash South America has spewed forth in the last two decades. Perversor’s sickness knows no bounds, and these tracks find the band delving ever deeper into alcoholic and Satanic destruction.

Damnation “Speed Anarchy” CD
ANTI-GOTH 154

Damnation emerged in the mid-1980’s Canadian Speed/Death Metal scene and released a series of four demos between 1986 and 1992. The band occupied that unique space that developed during the time period in which Death Metal was just beginning to evolve out of the Thrash/Speed metal style. The first two demos (which are collected on this reissue), “Speed Anarchy” and “Aggressive Repulsive Symphony” represent Death Metal in its earliest and most grotesque stage of development. For reference points, one should look to the seminal early recordings of bands such as Slaughter, Death, and Necrophagia. The songs on these two demos are frenzied blasts of violence generally clocking in at less than two minutes in length and carry the inherent power of simplicity that characterizes so much of the classic Thrash and Hardcore recordings from the era. Unlike that music, however, the end result is not simplistic and angst-fueled Thrash, but is instead intensely hateful Death Metal. Although their output was limited, the band’s influence was immense. Mayhem’s vocalist, Dead, was fascinated with Damnation’s sound and even bands as highly regarded as Nifelheim have lifted riffs and vocal delivery patterns from them. The production quality of these demo recordings is also incomparable. The guitars are thick and laden with a brittle distortion that punctuates rather than obscures the authority of the riffs themselves. The drums are stark and vengeful and the vocals add a demonic character to the entire work. The interaction of all of the parts is neither incompetent nor overly technical. The band walks the line between these two realms playing in a way that is at once powerful, earnest, and imperfect. For those who have long been familiar with Damnation’s earliest work, this reissue merely provides a definitive presentation of these two demos and a chance to revisit their volatile and destructive force. For those who have never been afforded the opportunity to indulge in these recordings, you will undoubtedly find yourself immediately at the mercy of these manifestations of horrific carnage.

As one of the first albums NWN! ever released on vinyl, “Desecration of the Holy Kingdom” has always been of tremendous importance to the label. It is only fitting then, that after 10 years, NWN! will now be exclusively responsible for releasing and distributing this masterwork of blasphemic black/death. NWN! has reached a mutual agreement with Black Witchery and FMP by which NWN! will hold the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute “Desecration of the Holy Kingdom” on all formats. NWN! now intends to keep this classic release in print so that its epic evil can continue to spread. There can be no question that “Desecration of the Holy Kingdom” has stood the test of time and now stands as one of the most powerful emanations of the second wave of bestial black/death metal. It is virtually unrivaled in the intensity of its scorn for purity. Searing, unrelenting hostility erupts forth at the opening of the title track and does not let up until the conclusion of the album. NWN! is proud to now be charged with the task of proliferating this satanic masterpiece into the next decade and beyond.

Von Goat “Septic Illumination” LP and CD
ANTI-GOTH 157

Click on images to see more photos.

After more than a decade away from the scene, Goat has returned. Goat was the true mastermind behind the lyrical, musical, and visual content of the original Von. When Von was first active, Goat constructed the entire sonic and symbolic world that was Von. Now, Goat has summoned the same malefic energies that impelled him then for his new project called Von Goat. Though the realm that Von Goat explores differs from that of Von, there are elements that remain consistent. To be sure, Von Goat is a different band (different from both the “Satanic Blood” era Von, as well as the recent incarnation of the band). Von Goat represents years of anguish coalesced and focused into these new songs. The sound that Von Goat attains is specific to the acute focus on the decay and degeneration of the human mind. It is a sound that reflects a hallucinatory and narcotic sickness of the consciousness and spirit. As such, the songs Goat presents here fuse elements of Death and Black metal in a novel way. An anxious and nightmarish psychedelia permeates the tracks and takes the listener deeper into the dementia depicted in the songs. Although not as repetitious and trance-inducing as Von (or even Sixx), the riffs on this album tap into the same resevoir of darkness. Von Goat’s approach, however, is more active and chaotic. Interestingly, Goat’s time away from the underground metal scene contributes to the impact of the album. Unlike much of the music released recently, Von Goat is not derivative. There is no attempt made to ape either the classic sound of Von or any of the myriad trends running their course in the current scene. Finally, it bears repeating that Von Goat is not the same as the new Von. Von Goat is a project that has been in the works long before any resurrection of Von. It is instead a refraction of the baleful spectrum of sounds and ideas that emanate from the mind of its creator. Those expecting to hear a pointless regurgitation of old ideas will be disappointed. However, one must also recall that, during their brief existence, Von was overlooked because listeners failed to acknowledge the merit in the conceptual and aesthetic underpinnings of the band’s approach. Similarly, many who listen to Von Goat may naively dismiss it, but those that delve deeper into the hidden dimensions of Von Goat will find new manifestations of despair and darkness unlike any other. – N.

Morbosidad “Profana la Cruz del Nazareno” LP Repress
ANTI-GOTH 101

Despues de casi 5 anos de silencio total, las legiones bestiales han resurgido. On December 25, 2007, the notorious Tomas Stench assembled his horde of maniacal priests of darkness to desecrate the day the bastard Nazarene son was born unto the whore of Bethlehem. Recorded in Mexico with a new line-up, the third Morbosidad album is heavily influenced by Brazilian deathrash masters such as the mighty Sarcofago, Sextrash, and Holocausto, yet is still undeniably Morboso Metal. One of the most sacrilegious and blasphemous records in the NWN! catalog, “Profana La Cruz del Nazareno” achieves a primitive savagery and violence never heard before on any Morbosidad recording. And finally, the only artist whose dark visions are sufficiently unholy to adorn such a long-awaited release, the notorious Chris Moyen was summoned by the Morboso Kult to produce another masterpiece of goatworship for the cover of the CD and gatefold LP.
180 gram heavy vinyl, Gatefold jacket with spot UV printing, 12″ x 12″ insert, 24″ x 14″ poster of the front cover. Everything is the same as the first press except this pressing does not have the 11″x17″ thanks list insert.

First 100 orders will get the red/gold splatter LP + woven NWN gunmen patch.
