Hi, we got a new preorder for you guys! NEST crawl from a light-forsaken oubliette of hideous malformed space time and burrow directly into the neck-snapping sub-cortex of the modern sludge troglodite's brain. --> Preorder here: http://maniyax.com (out on 1st of April 2019) The American guitar/drums duo generate the kind of sounds you might expect to hear echoing from the mouth of some abyssal gateway, fluctuating between rhythmic, pulsing riffs as of something dragging itself across the floor and the throat shredding howls of a black metal cacophony, struggling against the wind of the void. These guys create something special within the heavily saturated Sludge scene. If pressed to come up with a genre for this release you might say it was noise tinged, blackened sludge-doom amongst others. That might sound like a band having an identity crisis but the Kentucky two piece present an album here with 'Metempsychosis' which is absolutely thematically and musically coherent. It embraces the dichotomy of being both abrasively ear shredding while simultaneously pulling the listener in with the promise of headbanging riffs fit to give anyone a taste for mosh coupled with dynamic performances and a serious sense of scale. Everything on this release sounds huge. The guitars feel like they were recorded at a distance, possibly deep underwater, and have thick black ink dripping from every note. The drums reverberate like the blows of someone carving stone. Over it all the vocals are suprisingly present, tying the listener to the immediacy of the sound while simultaneously evoking the bleakest black metal and sludge records. Moments of Khanate and The Abominable Iron Sloth collide with Celtic Frost and an ever present sense of dread throghout. Certainly one to pickup. Certainly impossible to ignore once heard. __ limited edition of 300 colored copies heavy 380g cover, full colored artwork, UV spot varnish, printed of the reverse side of the board black innersleeve and heavy insert with lyrics and liner notes.

Another fantastic band from the north found its way to Maniyax Records and we are proud to be a part in releasing KOLLAPSE debut LP 'ANGST', together with a bunch of other great labels from all over the world. Like other bands from Denmark as HEXIS, WHORLS or REDWOOD HILL, KOLLAPSE finds its unique approach to darkened hardcore with a blackmetalish thriving and doomy sound that puts out desperate music for these desperate times. 'Angst' was recorded with producer Jacob Bredahl and mastered by Brad Boatright (Nails, Magrudergrind, MLIW etc.) See: [video=youtube;HvKhULtN-LY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvKhULtN-LY[/video] Listen: https://kollapse.bandcamp.com Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pg/Kollapseband Buy in blue or black vinyl: Maniyax Shop Thanks

The Omega Massif – Karpatia Tape is finally released on my tapelabel La Cassette Jaune – 101 copies are made and only one copy is yellow (case and cassette). Maybe you´re the lucky one to get it… The tape is held in the design of the vinyl and comes with a handmade cutout cardboard sleeve: “This is maybe the most awaited (instrumental) metal record of the year. Founded in 2006, OMEGA MASSIF quickly seized the attention and interest of listeners from several genres (metal to doom to sludge to instrumental postrock) through the years – and that’s a result of just 2 records in 5 years: their demo KALT and the first full length GEISTERSTADT. OMEGA MASSIF are a convincing studio and live band. These aspects and the fact that they have a keen sense of sophisticated song structures are maybe the main reasons why OMEGA MASSIF filled bigger venues step by step – while having started with local squat, they have by now played festivals like ROADBURN, HELLFEST, SWINGFEST etc.! Their new and 2nd album KARPATIA, a result of two years songwriting, again unites the well known calm melodic components with an immense dynamic and dark feeling in the monolithic heavy parts. In contrast to other instrumental bands, OMEGA MASSIF invent their own sound and are able to maintain the tension throughout the whole record without the usage of cheap climax ideas. We could continue to tell you how apocalyptic and intense this record is – but it’s maybe better to push the start button and to judge by your own if OMEGA MASSIF created another masterpiece after GEISTERSTADT.” The tape is 6 € plus shipping: - 2 € shipping Germany (no insurance) or 4 € (insured) - 4 € shipping Europe/World (no insurance) – if you want it to be insured please get in touch! - paypal prefered (fees are included in shippingcosts) to [email protected] You can order right here and you might want to grab some other records as well… http://maniyax.tictail.com/product/omega-massif-karpatia-tape in case you forgot how fucking good they are: http://youtu.be/aB5csT3Tckg
