- ALTARAGE _ Worst Case Scenario (12" LP)
-
Four months after the super-limited and already sold-out Cataract EP, ALTARAGE strike back with their sixth full-length, and first for DOOMENTIA since 2016’s Nihl.
Those hooded musicians’ taste for thick and noisy layering is quite notorious and indeed, the guitars alone here are not just drowned in tar but are actually bathing in it in delight. Yet somehow for this quite concise album things are taking a slightly different turn here, the mysterious trio has somehow decided to stray away a bit from their usual path in order to achieve something even more unsettling and bizarre, yet as crushing.
If Worst Case Scenario eight tracks – including the song ‘Cataract’ already included on the EP of the same name yet here with a different mix – are once again some of the heaviest and noisiest bastard sons of the (un)holy trinity of black, death-metal and harsh noise you’ll ever hear this year, a new sense of clarity can felt through some of them. Far from away from the standard ‘metal’ production values and more akin to, say, a strung-out noise-rock band desperately looking for their next fix, instead of lessening their impact, this sonic revaluation maximizes it even more.
Yet at the same time, with songs for example like ‘The Rigid Subject’ or ’Exhaust’, ALTARAGE never sounded so chaotic and so on the verge of imploding, super-nova style. Proving once and for all that no other band sounds or even dares going as far as into the abyss as they do… Behold, Worst Case Scenario could well be your worst nightmare.

- DISMA _ VAULT OF MEMBROS (12" MLP)
-
So this is where it all began… Sure all three tracks off DISMA's debut demo were later re-recorded for their massive debut album, Towards The Megalith, but somehow those early and rawer versions have a distinctive vibe of their own. The genre of death-metal, back then in 2009, was in dismay is a euphemism and somehow, this “us against the rest of the world” mentality gave that initial recording an extra edge.
Of course, The Vault Of Membros has been reissued a few times before – including a now very highly collectable version by the esteemed and now defunct, Detest Records. But to put it mildly, this is THE ultimate version. Pressed on high-quality 12” vinyl, cut at 45 RPM. A standard of quality with Doomentia Records.
So here’s a new chance to grab a piece of death metal history!

- EXORCIZPHOBIA _ Spiritual Exodus (LP/CD/MC PRE-ORDER)
-
Exorcizphobia is back with new LP! The album is titled “Spiritual Exodus“ and in many ways continues where its predecessor “Digitotality“ from 2020 ends. Through the themes as reincarnation (Reflections, Ring-Pass-Not or Through a Glass Darkly, which is musicalized poem of general George S. Patton), altered states of consciousness (Initiation) or alternative points of view on our reality (Down The Rabbit Hole, Those Who Oppose), finding itself in the atmosphere of combining the ancient and current. The aesthetics of this aproach is even audible. Old school fashioned thrash metal is combined with modern and distinctive touch. The whole record concludes in seven plus minutes long instrumental called “Tiwanaku“ which links the music with fantastic artwork made by Paolo Girardi. “Spiritual Exodus“ will be out through DOOMENTIA RECORDS on LP (black, color gatefold), CD and MC.
“Spiritual Exodus“ will be out through DOOMENTIA RECORDS on vinyl (black, color gatefold), CD and MC. Release date of the physical formats is September 22. Album will be out on all digital platforms on September 25, except bandcamp (6th of October – bandcamp Friday).

- LIVE AT THRASH NIGHTMARE VOL. 9 _ BARBARIAN, EURYNOMOS, NUCTEMERON (3x 12" LP)
-
Three live albums by old school metal bands Barbarian, Eurynomos and Nuctemeron from the last edition of the underground metal festival Thrash Nightmare in Písek, Czech Republic. You get energy and raw metal on black vinyls and live recordings of great and unforgettable shows at sold-out festival from leading names of European black/thrash scene!
Said about this release:
Borys (Barbarian): "We never had any plans of releasing a live album, but we felt so comfortable at Thrash Nightmare Fest and the level of energy was so high, that these recordings just couldn't stay shelved."
Aethon (Eurynomos): "We really did enjoy the energy of the show, the maniacs in the first rows were true fistbanging wild warriors, just listen to „Spell of Necromancy“ where a stagediver cut the guitar."
Lunatic Aggressor (Nuctemeron): "Live at Thrash Nightmare-official bootleg" perfectly captures the absolute underground atmosphere of Thrash Nightmare. So the listeners of the record can expect the ultimate Black Speed Hell!"

- NEKROFILTH _ Nganga (12" MLP)
-
The last time both DOOMENTIA and NEKROFILTH worked together, it was back in 2017 for the epic split with juggernauts CIANIDE. A year after that, the seminal Worm Ritual album was released. Then after a year of sporadic festival dates and the like, and the emergence of the pandemic, the band moved it´s home base to Portland in search of a fresh lineup / sound.
In early 2021, still in the depths of Covid, a death pact was formed with none other than DD LAZY, the sick freak behind Headsplit Records, Hemorrhoid, and many other atrocities! From this sickening union a hellish EP was formed. Recorded on a shitty old four track at the practice space, it has a truly weird and extreme sound, one that the underground maniacs have been craving! Even if you thought that earlier recordings like Worm Ritual were, indeed, filthy-as-fuck, you´ll still never know what´s going to hit you with Nganga. These four new exclusive songs, and first recordings in over three years, are just nasty man. Nasty. Zack Ripper´s guitar tone here is made of the same weird slimy mixture the toxic avenger had fallen into, backed by a nuclear and throbbing bass and the most vitriolic vocals you´ve heard this year. Punk-as-fuck, thrashing to the extreme and always on the verge of collapsing, to put it simple, NEKROFILTH has never sounded this pissed off!
On top of all of that, once again you can count on DOOMENTIA RECORDS for some seriously cool packaging. Strictly limited to 500 copies, this one-sided deluxe 12" EP includes a lyrics sheet, circular die-cut jacket, which exposes, wait for it, a deep lenticular effect on the B-side to die for. You definitely don´t have anything in your collection like this! NEKROFILTH and DOOMENTIA RECORDS are fucking back!

- DISMA _ EARTHENDIUM (12" MLP)
-
Granted, there’s been a bunch of so-called death metal “super-groups” since the dawn of the millennium. A gathering of talented, determined to show the kids how it’s done and what death freakin’ metal truly means. But very few, if none, had the impact DISMA had. Simply put, their debut demo The Vault Of Membros basically erased all competition back in 2009. Not only did this first recording mark the first collaboration in between INCANTATION “cult” front man Craig Pillard and early guitarist Bill Venner. Now joining with members of FUNEBRARUM. But its earth-shattering heaviness and supreme brutality set a new benchmark for downtuned dark doom/death metal.
Fan from day one, DOOMENTIA has been working with the band since 2011 and their first European tour. Besides two split EPs, DOOMENTIA set up new standards with the LP version of their sole album, Towards The Megalith whose diehard edition featured a six panel tri-fold fantastic sleeve with an extra inserted 7 inch.
Since then, instead of putting out an endless stream of easily-forgettable releases, DISMA carefully choose to take their time and release the right songs at the right time. After some line-up adjustments, with now Craig Pillard handling both vocals and guitar duties. Their first new recording in five years, Earthendium showcases a continuous vision with even more effective and lethal firepower. Slightly doomier, yet still as crushing, these three new tracks (including the epic nine minutes long title-track) were recorded at the aptly titled, Neanderthal studios and proves than over eighteen years after their first rehearsal, DISMA remains one of the heaviest and rawest forces in death metal today.
DOOMENTIA once again offered the band to take care of the LP version, determined to stay true to the standards set by Towards The Megalith twelve years prior and to release an easier-to-find version for European customers. Hence this extremely cool-looking one-sided lenticular 3D picture disc version. Ola Larsson’s spectacular dark-fantasy inspired art in all of its glory, displayed in a die-cut sleeve. A fitting monument to one of this years most impressive and dark-as-fuck EP's.
So be quick or be dead as this will be probably sold out in no time, as did all the previous DISMA releases on DOOMENTIA.

Javier Gálvez about this release: I have to confess I remember little about 2009 but what I do remember is being somehow buried in tons of crushing riffs and words, since I was writing the eight songs that we were about to record just a few months later for our third album. It was a conscious decision to make this time around a huge and monolithic record, a real departure from the speed and almost progressive nature of our previous album, the last to be released as Rhino two years prior, Dead Throne Monarch. A simpler approach it may be but it also was deadlier and more powerful for sure. And it was different! Since we had never worked with Xanpe before, we went there to record a demo of the forthcoming opening song of the album “Speaking In Tongues” in his Koba studio to test the waters and the result was amazing. Needless to say that a bond was made on the spot and since then, we’ve returned several times there. I’m glad (and surprised too) that thirteen years after it was recorded, people still talk about WOC in such a high regard. We made that album for ourselves, as the other four in our discography. We never had a plan nor any support from anyone but we crushed everything on our path anyways. Once we were done with this record, we immediately started working on the next one, as we always did. The iconic painting of the pregnant, undead bitch, the new guitar set up we used in the studio for the first time without trying it out first in the rehearsal room due to lack of time, the support from Doomentia, the last minute alteration of our moniker for stupid copyright reasons… Those are just some details we wanted to share with all those people who supported us along the way, people we wanted to thank with this definitive edition. PLAY IT LOUD!!!

- DISMA _ TOWARDS THE MEGALITH (CD-digi)
-
Rarely has a debut album been so eagerly expected… Of course, right off the bat, DISMA's stellar line-up and self-proclaimed mission to immerge death metal in the darkest pits possible had understandably generated interest from a once moribund scene now on the rise again. But when Towards The Megalith dropped on both Profound Lore and Doomentia in June/July 2011, the result didn’t just meet those expectations; it smashed them into pieces and morbidly laughed while the world burned.
Too many people have the tendency to call the flavour of the day an instant classic, only to realize sometimes just months afterwards that said “masterpiece” had sunk without a trace. But over twelve years (and counting) down the line, Towards The Megalith still hovers at 99% of what the death-metal had produced since, trying (and mostly failing) to math its supreme force and epic vibration.
Out of print for too long, DISMA's masterpiece (yep, that’s it, we said it!) is finally available again on CD format in a four-panel digipack and two booklets, as it should be on with long-standing partners Doomentia Records. Hail the beast!

- CULT OF FIRE _ Om Kali Maha Kali (12" SHAPED PICTURE LP BOX)
-
Both CULT OF FIRE and DOOMENTIA have had a long appreciation for each other’s works for a long time so it was only a matter of time before the two get to collaborate together on a project. It finally came together earlier this year with the release of the special one-side EP Píseň černých Vran. And special indeed this was. Not only was it a vibrant tribute to their fallen brother from MANIAC BUTCHER but its deluxe and extremely elaborate packaging instantly set out new standards as well. But those standards are about to be obliterated by CULT OF FIRE themselves with the official release on the 12” shaped picture LP format of their brand new single, the mesmerizing Om Kali Maha Kali.
Having been the main them behind their second album from 2013, the Hindu goddess Kali makes here a welcome return thanks to some of the most majestic music the mysterious Czechoslovakia trio has ever unleashed. Fourteen minutes through two long and epic songs of pure melodic black metal bliss, permeated with Easter flavors and that unmistakably typical CoF aura, miles above the current average mediocrity of the scene and nearer than ever to the stars. But it’s truly the actual packaging of this band-new recording that will stand out as one-of-a-kind with one mantra on each side, a fantastic and detailed depiction of Kali herself on the cover and a very specially shaped picture disc.
One very important major statement of intent for both CULT OF FIRE and DOOMENTIA and already 2023 most ambitious EP, without a doubt. Behold!
