STYGIAN CROWN: LP REPRESSING AND T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE SOON!

November 13, 2020November 13, 2020 Enrico

This week-end all of us Doom Metal Maniacs should have gathered in Wurzburg at the Hammer Of Doom.We are really sad that we won’t be able to meet to enjoy our beloved music together, have a beer and party together as we always do at this time of the year.

Stygian Crown was supposed to play the festival and was super-excited about it, together with their label-mate Death The Leveller.

However we still feel like celebrating the event by re-releasing the sold-out Stygian Crown LP on a vinyl edition (that will come in a regular jacket, not a gatefold, this time). And 2 awesome different T-shirts (each design limited to 50), available for the first time in Europe.

Preorders start today!

Shirts will be available in early December. While LPs will be out on Jan 21, 2021.

It’s also possible to pre-order the LP and T-shirt as a bundle and save a bit on final price and postage.

Please consider that t-shirts included in bundles will be shipped when vinyls are in stock.

OLD MOTHER HELL Posts Full Set From 2018 HAMMER OF DOOM Festival

March 26, 2020March 26, 2020 Enrico

Like the rest of the metal contemporaries, Germany’s OLD MOTHER HELL is patiently waiting to resume live activity and work on their next studio album. The band is currently taking part in Germany’s country-wide lockdown to control the spread of the Coronavirus, but that hasn’t stopped them from unearthing their brilliant live set from the 2018 Hammer of Doom festival. The show was a critical turning point for the band — it was the second show for drummer Michael Frölich, who went from being a temporary replacement to a full-time member — and captures OLD MOTHER HELL in their pure metal power trio glory.

“The Hammer of Doom show still is something very special for us,” says guitarist/vocalist Bernd Wener. “We were invited just two weeks before because some other band had to cancel and were at least as excited as with the Hell Over Hammaburg invitation some month prior.

“It was just our second show with Michael as a replacement drummer and we never played in front of such a big audience before, so we were pretty nervous. So nervous indeed, that the first song of the set, ‘Another War’, is missing because I forgot to switch on our camera. From song to song there were more people gathering in front of the stage and more and more fists were raised into the air. What a view, what a feeling. We were overwhelmed by the energy and the positive reactions.

“After the show, Michi decided to join the band. Finally having a full line-up again, we instantly decided to work on a new album and made a rough schedule. Of course, we may have to postpone this due to the current situation, but we keep evaluating the situation daily.

“We cannot meet up to rehearse or stream live, so we decided to at least upload this very special show as a whole. Enjoy, and stay healthy!”

Cruz Del Sur Music re-released OLD MOTHER HELL’s self-titled debut album in 2018. The band has been assembling new material for a release sometime in the near feature.
