"Sing As You Slay" 10" EP (REH 005)

Four brand new pounding Doom Metal masterpieces from West Yorkshires heaviest militant trio, THE LAMP OF THOTH is the perfect antidote to the sickly commercial dross been peddled in the name of doom. Horrifying, creepy, and seriously unbalanced, Dr. Simon Von Strange and his assistants, Igor Reaper and Baroness Pentangle raise the spirits of dread eldritch horrors yet again! We love the Lamp, do you? The Lamp's debut recieved 9/10 in Germany's Rock hard magazine, KKKK in Kerrang, 4.5/5 in Zero Tolorance etc

"Soul For A Soul : Poltergeist II" 10 EP (REH 006)

Awakened from their Ancient slumber, these four Wargods of Midlands metal are back to usurp the throne and slaughter everything in their path with an unholy mix of Maiden, Priest and Destructor, with singer/guitarist Paul Britton now sounding like Paul D'ianno's tougher younger brother. Heavier than thou, SCARAB in 2008 is more relevant than ever in the current climate of "designer thrash" and "Eco friendly black metal". Not just music to sack cities to, but the soundtrack to lay waste to entire continents. SCARAB is the musical equivalent of an armored Panzer division smashing you with an iron fist!

"Full Moon Dog" 10" EP (REH 007)

While other bands are wallowing in hipster irony, donning brand new denim vests three sizes too big, or dressing up as comedy pirates, North Yorkshire's favourite son's, ASOMVEL, are the real fucking deal! These three hard rockers bludgeon the opposition with a furious mix of Motorhead and early Venom. Brandishing a broken whiskey bottle to smash into the grinning faces of every slack jawed liberal, they take no prisoners whatsover in their quest for, louder, heavier, and louder again! You don't like ASOMVEL? Well fuck you. And fuck all your family and friends as well.

About Miskatonic :

The Miskatonic Foundation is an independent record label, started by SOLSTICE & ISEN TORR Guitarist Rich Walker, there is no grand plan except to release music that is felt to be particuarly heavy and delivered with passion and honesty, oh and to get right up the fucking noses of "Industry experts", music critics and gobshites in general.

Miskatonic is not interested in following trends, brainwashing the "Youth of today" into buying albums by industry manufactured bands like The Sword or pandering to "popular" music press opinion and using all the latest buzzwords to pull the wool over your eyes.

FAQ:

Q: How can I contact Miskatonic?
A: metalculte@hotmail.com - This is the only way, we do NOT answer messages sent through myspace

Q: Where can I buy Miskatonic releases?
A: In the UK Directly from MISKATONIC, or BLACK TEARS Mailorder, In Europe, CYCLONE EMPIRE in Germany, HORROR RECORDS in Denmark, in the USA HELLRIDE MUSIC or SHADOW KINGDOM Records, in Japan through NAT Records and a whole host of other independent outlets

Q: Are there any downloads of Miskatonic releases?
A: No, there are NO legal downloads of Miskatonic releases, never purchase any offered, as they are unauthorised and will most likely contain poor quality files and spyware to fuck your PC. Besides, downloads are for utter fucking cretins.

Q: Are you signing bands?
A: No, but if you think you're good enough then send a tape or CDR of your music to the PO Box address, links to sites etc sent via internal messenger will be ignored

Q: What type of music are you interested in?
A: Doom metal, NWOBHM, Epic Metal, Early Death & Thrash metal, and real brickwall HC Punk.

Hails from Canada! The mighty realm of doom has been a great influence as we push onwards, being strongly bolstered by your label. If you feel the fancy, check out the /rough/ demo track we have on our page.

ADP022 DECEASED(US) - Worship the Coffin 2CD
After long waitting, finally worship the coffin will out on June. great early stuff compilation. Featuring the complete demos before 1990, lots of rehearsals (with some unreleased tunes), 3 live shows with great quality and BONUS with their long time lost demo Luck of the Corpse and super rare Evilaxe (pre-deceased) rehearsal, probably the only one existing of this legendary death metal band!

* Deluxe Boxset includes Sweatband, Keyring, Patch, Pin, Double CD, Ltd tshirt and big Poster.

ADP024 HATRED(Col)/ANTACID(Mya) - Metal Chaos across the World CD
Totally old school metal sound from two promising bands delivering evil heavy speed metal sound in the vein of the old masters like Venom, Angelwitch and Mercyful Fate. Strictly limited to 1000, with hand-numbered custom OBI strips. Keep your ear on underground talent bands who play great metal sound , they are much better than commerical names.

Got my 30 inches set today...

In the plethora of 'Tolkein-inspired' synth-ambient projects streaming about.....never, never would I have believed that TLOT would bludgeon my head in with Tolkien-infused doom - "SING AS YOU SLAAAAAAAYYY!!!" That song fucking crushes anything the Village Viking Bands produced, hahaha
