Finland’s own GHASTLY is pairing up with 20 BUCK PIN for their second album, ‘Death Velour’! The nightmarish hallucinatory sound GHASTLY invokes conjures the horror of rotting in incomprehensible obscurity, passing into oblivion guided by a many-colored specter of strange origin across the styx. An air of psych-induced weirdness and shrieking dread permeates the decomposed palette throughout the album’s cryptic duration.
BAND NAME: GHASTLY
LABEL NAME: 20 BUCK SPIN

Phoenix, Arizona’s SUNDRESSED and Austin, Texas’ own NOMINEE have come together with the help of SMARTPUNK RECORDS! The record is very personal for both bands, covering topics of loss, overcoming addiction and more- the release itself is a testament to the idea that if you have a good support system, you can get through or accomplish anything. Songs such as SUNDRESSED’S “Postcard”, a song about guiding loved ones through addiction after having overcome it yourself, or “Heatwave”, a song about dealing with mental illness and suicide.

Metallic horror trailblazers INTEGRITY join forces with cult US black metal horde KRIEG for an unearthly split recording. Festering beneath forests of debauched illusion, INTEGRITY infects its prey through unconventional auditory means. Inflicting and dispensing their nightmares through cavernous faith and conjuring a new gospel for those neglected and forgotten apparitions. KRIEG contributes their only song written and recorded since 2014’s ‘Transient’ as well as more obscure older material set to create a miserable sonic experience for the listener. This is another page in a book written over two decades.
BAND NAME: Integrity / Krieg
LABEL NAME: Relapse Records
