SKULLD "The Portal Is Open" LP
8 blasting tracks mixing death metal and black metal with hardcore/crust influence. Add some punk/death vocals by Pamela and you have the receipe of a killer record !
HEDONIST "Sepulchral Lacerations" 12"
‘Sepulchral Lacerations’ is made up of six tracks and feels like controlled chaos. Blisteringly powerful drumming forms the core of the bands sound and moves the demo along at a sickeningly fast pace, all the while thick rumbling bass tones and even the odd bass solo add a thick, molasses type vibe to the atmospherics. Those atmospherics are already pretty dark and swampy through the demo’s cavernous production and gripping, rampaging guitar leads, and we’ve not even touched upon the bone crumbling growling from vocalist/bassist AJ yet.
This is a simple, uncompromising bout of straight up Death Metal with
more than a little Bolt Thrower influence about it. For a stand out
track, ‘Cephalic Rot’ is pure power and energy, slightly slower than the
previous tracks but maliciously vicious drumming which creates a
cacophony of bombastic noise, and with satisfyingly dark guitar leads
throughout.

SERPENT CORPSE "St" 12"
Old school death metal fans were striked by the announcement of Serpent
Corpse's debut album to be released in early July on Temple Of Mystery
Records; Now it's World Eater Records turn to hit metalheads with the
pre-order release of Serpent Corpse's first 4-track demo reissue in high
quality vinyl format.
Serpent Corpse hails from Montreal, their 90's influenced death metal is
raw and vicious, their first recording shows that the band have managed
to take the best of the brutality of the punk and hardcore scenes to
reincarnate the essence of early death metal. While some newer death
metal bands sound flat and boring, Serpent Corpse are fiercely
aggressive and take no prisoners.
Just like the first two installments, this third release from World
Eater Records is a limited 12” with high-quality screen printing on
B-side, carefully packaged in a top notch screen-printed cover.

MORTUAIRE "St" 12"
Down a dark and filthy cobbled lane where human decay has concentrated,
the purulent cohort of slaughtered souls drawn in the pus of a decrepit
universe. In an indecipherable but eternal night, the providential
sewers pour out an infamous lot of lethal rot.
MORTUAIRE takes part in the endless battle, it’s the fruit of disgust
and total gloom. Worthy heir of the 80’s most obscure and biting early
death metal bands, this new french act gives a fatal sword strike under
the form of three hard-hitting songs which overthrow the codes and
defeat the commonplace of the genre.
The throbbing chaos has just begun, fans of ENTOMBED, AUTOPSY, NIHILIST or BOLT THROWER must be warned.
This was released as a demo by the band last year and WORLD EATER has the honor to give it the vinyl offering it deserves.
The record comes as a one sided 12’’ with silkscreen printed cover and
side B. Recorded by MORTUAIRE’s guitar player Stéphane Miollan, mixed
and mastered by Ben Jones.

EKSTASIS "Paralyzing Impermanence" 12"
Humankind does not have sufficient ramparts to stop the magmatic frenzy
coming from the bowels of the earth. Mental and physical tortures merge
in a tragic whirlwind. Imagine being tied to an electric chair and
immersed in a bath of acid at the same time and you get the apocalyptic
theater where EKSTASIS plays.
This incandescent fire they described as a melding of early-90s Swedish
death metal and Teutonic thrash with a sharp and maniacal execution is
unique and distinctive.
Leaving no respite, the savage machinery goes on. The band does not appear out of nowhere,
EKSTASIS’ members have extremely impressive background : Dave Williams
used to play in CRUSADES, BLACK TOWER, while Damien Moyal has fronted
many influential hardcore bands : MORNING AGAIN, SHAI HULUD, AS FRIENDS
RUST.
Since the recording of these songs, they have combined their forces with Fred Estby (DISMEMBER, CARNAGE).
“Paralyzing Impermanence” is an uncontrollable storm from which you have little chance of surviving.
