Twitch Of The Death Nerve Signs To Comatose

Comatose Music will release "A New Code of Morality" from UK brutalists Twitch Of The Death Nerve on April 29th. The band was formed in 2004 as a side project of Tom Bradfield and Tom Carter from Infected Disarray and Beef Conspiracy.

After releasing a split CD, the pair continued with their other projects (including Grindethic Records and Repulsive Dissection) while at the same time working on tracks for a full length release. The line-up was later completed by recruiting Defeated Sanity drummer Lille Gruber, and the band began working on their debut.

"A New Code of Morality" is now finally complete and is presented along with some gruesomely epic Marco Hasmann artwork. Album track "Peculiar Perversions Particular to the Piquerist" is now streaming below.

Mausoleum Gate Signs To Cruz Del Sur Music

Cruz Del Sur music is welcoming Finnish sensational newcomers Mausoleum Gate to its roster. The band is retro hard rock/heavy metal, deeply rooted in a late 70's/early 80's atmosphere, forged in the blood of Saxon, in the power and rudeness of the NWOBHM movement, in the spritual, epic nature of Cirith Ungol but even in the elegance of Uriah Heep.

Mausoleum Gate will release its self-titled debut album in mid-October under the sign of Cruz Del Sur Music, on compact disc, vinyl and digital formats. Their sold-out cassette EP "Gateways For the Wicked" will be soon re-pressed by the band itself on compact disc, to be distributed at the next Keep It True festival. Listen to a couple studio selections from Mausoleum Gate over at this location.

Revelation Album Being Reissued

Shadow Kingdom Records will reissue a Doom Metal classic called "Salvation's Answer" from Baltimore's Revelation on April 29th. Check out the album stream over at the label's bandcamp page and below in the player. Shadow Kingdom's Tim McGrogan gives us the rundown:

"Shadow Kingdom Records is thrilled to finally re-issue a groundbreaking 90's doom metal classic - Revelation - 'Salvation's Answer.' This was originally released on the classic Rise Above Records all the way back in 1991. It was one of their first releases when they started the label.

Even today, there's nothing quite like this album, a lost gem stuck in the sands of time. Very few bands have been influenced by Revelation's unique brand of progressive doom metal. This is a special album that will only attract people who are really looking for sub-basement classics."

Shadow Kingdom Reissuing Manilla Road Release

Shadow Kingdom Records has announced the latest in a string of Manilla Road reissues with the Wichita, KS band's sixth album, "Mystification." Manilla Road's official sixth full-length is the last of what many longtime fans consider as their most classic 'golden years' period. "Mystification" will be officially re-released via the label on April 29th.

"Mystification" marked Manilla Road's first foray into the realm of thrash metal. The band had played with faster tempos on previous albums, but this is a record that delivered an intensity comparable to early Slayer. Manilla Road mainman Mark Shelton proved himself to be one of heavy metal's most skilled songwriters with this flawless mix of classic and thrash metal.

This reissue is noteworthy for being the first edition of "Mystification" to be released on CD in the original song order along with the original mixing and mastering. This will be a huge treat for fans that have never heard the album this way because the re-issue done in the year 2000, was mixed and mastered differently along with the track order switched around. You'll finally be able to hear the way it was originally was back in 1987.
