Details here! Pics here

007bvllet - PENTSIGN - Cacophonous March of Darkness - CD
The debut album of a not such young act from Murmansk that preaches quite unusual style for the Russian underground. Heavy, brutal, smashing, atrocious mix of Black and Death Metal. Not for nervous persons or adepts of depressive suicidal music. Only rage, only Evil! Hoary ancient Evil!
|
009bvllet - NAV – From Nav to Jav - DIGI
The debut demos (“From Nav to Jav” and “A Hymn to Cold Silence”) of the remarkable band from Murmansk released on one CD and limited by 333 copies. For FANS and true admirers! Do we think much of it? At least, we think that the demo “A Hymn to Cold Silence” is one of the most crucial for local and Russian underground scenes on the whole. It must have been released keeping to the best underground traditions, and it has come true!

: : NEW FORCES COMING! - JANUARY 09: :
As we mentioned earlier, everything keeps to schedule, and three new releases have been put in production. We won’t set exact dates but we are sure that these CDs will see the light of day very soon!  Stay tuned!

012bvllet - SICKROOM 7 - Bottomfeeder Central - CD
You should dread it! If you care about your mental health and well-being of your musical taste, this release is not for you! This release is for those who with no doubts can go out in the streets of  a dusky and fatal world. Dirtier, sicker and madder approach can’t be desired. It captivates and causes nausea. Many might have experienced this feeling peeping through a keyhole. It’s so loathsome but so thrilling!
Slow and very dark combination of Doom Metal and ambient which suits the motto of the label as no one else – ADEQUATE MADNESS – ADEQUATE DEATH
|
003teeth - SOLI GLORIA DIABOLI - Soli Gloria Diaboli - CD
The debut release of the Karelian band praising death and destruction. Perhaps, the matters are more subtle than words, but SOLI GLORIA DIABOLI do not want to enlarge on the subject as they tend to think that this is the way and ritual that are only their concern.
From musical point of view, the debut CD is the savage mix of European Black metal traditions. Fast, sinister and rasping BM – as it  was meant to be!

: : THE TURNING POINT IS BEHIND – ABOUT THE IMPENDING : :
About our plans that are to be fulfilled because there is no way back. Even if the notorious financial crisis will hamper the process, these releases are to come out!

010bvllet - ASSAVLT Vol.I - The First Harvest - SLIPCASE CD
The “anniversary” release of the label that is why we had the idea of making something unusual from the very beginning. We suggested the bands of the label and some other that we support recording exclusive tracks for the compilation “The First Harvest”. The response was so great that soon we have to think about the second part. For now we’ve decided not to go beyond the frames of ASSAVLT and The HOWL. So, the following bands are presented on the compilation: SECT, SOLI DIABOLI GLORIA, KLANDESTYN, LIHOLESIE, METI BHUVAH, POGOST, PENTSIGN, DEATHTRAP, SICK ROOM 7, STIELAS STORHETT and MOR. 12 tracks - 70 minutes.
All songs are recorded exclusively for this compilation and won’t be released somewhere else. This is not rehearsal, concert or demo trash. This is a real HARVEST!
|
HELLCOME! We present you an old but until now secret name - KLANDESTYN. A new band on the label the album of which we are looking forward to! Meanwhile you can learn some details in the section TROOPZ, listen to the track from the debut album “Black Mantra” in the section BOMBARDMENT or order the debut split (HEXENHAMMER Rec.) with Norwegians NEPHILIM via our distro service.
|
Without any joy we bring to your notice that METI BHUVAH are no longer the part of The HOWL. Guys decided to go deeper into the underground choosing the way of ‘self-torture’ with tapes and other integral parts of a true underground. I think we’ll keep an eye on them and will support this trio and time will show the rest.
Now we wish them good luck! Thank you for cooperation and we wish the Witching Hour to come!

008bvllet - LIHOLESIE - Boundless Thirst for the Outside CD
The fourth album of the Siberian project. This time Sever has presented a wider revelation of his visions, obviously digressing from folk influences and paying more attention to rhythmics and elaboration of the compositions. Aggressive drums, solemn melodies and exultation on the verge… on the verge of the dark wanderings amid withering forests under the leaden skies.

002teeth - METI BHUVAH - S/T CD
Putrid Karelian marshes, relentless rain, beating in your face till it bleeds. METI BHUVAH take up what once was started  by Mr. Ildjarn. Raw sound and savage primitivism, rough guitar patterns and rhythm sections, awesome with their vibe. Everything is plain but really thrilling. The stream of energy and dark colours.

Next in the list, tentatively in October/November:
PENTSIGN with their debut CD “Cacophonous March of the Darkness
NAV with the DIGI reissue of two demo tapes “From Jav to Nav
|
Recently we’ve received the master CD of the second album of SICK ROOM 7! Very dark and sick music which style is difficult to define. Danes themselves call it Ambient Doom. It may be so but the palette is broader, and brainstorm is much deeper. Black and perverse music. Expect this autumn!

Album of LIHOLESIEBoundless Thirst for the Outside” - July/August.
Album of PENTSIGNCacophonous March of the Darkness” - July/August.

005bvllet - DEATH COMES FROM THE NORTH - SPLIT CD
The split album of LIHOLESIE (from Novosibirsk), STIELAS STORHETT and MOR (both from Murmansk). 52 minutes in the embrace of sombre and cold autumn. Disturbing and solemn compositions of LIHOLESIE, breathing of cold Drone. A long story from MOR thrills to the core, it is filled with the endless bends of unseen paths in the autumn gloom. Dark and cool streams of STIELAS STORHETT, dragging to the depths of clear lakes of the North.
Striking contrasts, as ice and flames! This is the North, where Death walks around.
|
006bvllet - SECT - WWIII - CD
Hell! It’s not a secret already that SECT is a band (not a project) of the members of STIELAS STORHETT and MOR. Pain and hatred stored through years and expressed in music. There is no point in speaking about music, as the attitude of ASSAVLT towards music is definite! Music is great! And what tags you put on it, depends on everybody’s own depravity. Wars take place, but this war is everlasting. Apocalyptic drawings about the war against life. Misanthropy, Black Metal, and pain… constant pain…
Hell is here, and it’s just improperly to talk about it in hell! Die you all!
|
001teeth - POGOST - …FROM the ETERNAL CHAOS - CD
The debutants of THE HOWL have already been noticed in our lands, and now we offer to appreciate this sonic assault and blasphemous lyrics. Violent storm of old school Black Metal, solid and strong, fast and drawling, with expressive bass attack. All is simple. Black and white, that one who is not with us is against us!
I hate piece, I hate light and dark, I hate despair, let it all pass…
