Portland doom quartet USNEA return with their third full-length, Portals Into Futility. Inspired by dystopian science-fiction and the painful intersection of today's crushing reality, Portals Into Futility is 5 songs and 56 minutes of expertly crafted and elegantly depressive doom/sludge. 

1200 copies on black vinyl. Housed in gatefold jacket with download card. Packaged in a protective polybag.

The Sanford Parker (MINSK, HIGH CONFESSIONS, NACHTMYSTIUM) and Bruce Lamont (YAKUZA) helmed CIRCLE OF ANIMALS delivers a modern form of the legendary Chicago industrial sound on its first proper full-length ‘Destroy the Light’. 

Grindcore devotees PHOBIA return to the Relapse fold with their new EP Unrelenting. Unrelenting is a blistering set of proper grind, bringing together d-beat tradition with the speed and savagery of modern metal.

Poisoned Altars is the sophomore LP from heavy metal titans LORD DYING. Recorded in the spring of 2014 by Joel Grind of Toxic Holocaust, Poisoned Altars is the work of a band who spent the past 18 months grinding it out on the road touring relentlessly with the likes of Red Fang, Black Tusk and more. Blending the riffs and growls of High On Fire with the hammering groove of Crowbar Poisoned Altars cements LORD DYING as one of this decade’s dominant metal forces.

Providence' HOWL delivers three gargantuan tracks of riff-heavy, American metal on their debut mini-lp. This is a thunderous introduction to this quartet, and only hints at the magnitude of what's to come.

This 12" is a preview of a forthcoming full-length release for Circle of Animals, featuring Sanford Parker (Minsk, Twilight, The High Confessions)and Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) purveying 'Chicago Industrial.' 

Forward-thinking hardcore.
