Turning from Black Death Metal the harsh Singapore

Turning from Black Death Metal the harsh Singaporean way during the first half of the 90s, was one of the untrendiest movements ever for a band during the apex of the Second Wave of BM, when the vast majority of musicians were going just in the opposite direction. And that was exactly what ITNOS did on their debut 7” EP “Christ mary Bitch” originally released by Dutch label Superior Creation in 1994.

Although the band was not exactly formed by newcomers as it was born of the ashes of Mumbra (1989-1990) who mutated into Libation (90-92), throughout their career they were mutating styles. The inevitable line up changes were also another of the reasons for switching monikers. A seldom genuine act of consistency from an artistic point of view.

Libation was fueling the fire of the Black Death Metal inferno in the South East Asia area along with their compatriots Impiety and Abhorer. Needless to say that 80’s BM bands, the Brazilian scene and the crushing sonic violence of Blasphemy inspired them all. By the time Libation became Itnos after the first ones released the demos “Sanctimonious Offerings” (91) and their “Rehearsal 92”, despite being neat and evidently a Death Metal band, they still preserved a blackened edge.

Lyrics and sound wise there were still several resemblances to their previous style. Also their DM approach on this slab of vinyl was extremely vicious and abundant in brutal pungency. Their 95 demotape “Hymenix Promomancy” wasn’t a big departure from the two tracks of this single, but the band was eventually put on hold and resurfaced in 2010 with a promo CDR which is totally skippable ordinary DM.

As a testimony of these years of sheer pandemonium, Baphometal Records and @zzooouhhrecords released compilations in 2010 and 2020 respectively, featuring all the recordings of both Itnos and Libation.

Asimismo estamos trabajando con la intención de que las ediciones en cassette del disco de SACRIFICIO “Guerra Eterna”, estén a la venta coincidiendo con la fecha en la que se celebra la feria, tras meses de retraso fruto de la extrema complejidad del packaging absolutamente disruptivo y colosal de la versión limitada.

Esperamos también tener a la venta para entonces la antología de la discografía de DEAD CHRIST en doble vinilo, con un impresionante libreto de 36 páginas en formato A4, editada por @zombidanz En colaboración con el sello y bajo autorización expresa del grupo, DWTMH lanzamos dos modelos de camiseta y una bandera del grupo, coincidiendo con la edición de dicha recopilación.

ENTRADA LIBRE

🇬🇧 XIII Extreme Metal Record Fair will take place next Sunday 19th of June in Madrid, Spain. DWTMH will have a table with all of our releases and merchandise. We will also have a larger selection of distributed material on vinyl, CD and cassette than on the previous date last December, as well as some collectors’ LPs and 7” EPs.

We are also working with the intention that both cassette editions of SACRIFICIO “Guerra Eterna” album will be available, coinciding with the Fair, after months of delay due to the extreme complexity of the absolutely disruptive and colossal packaging of the limited version.

We also expect having for sale the DEAD CHRIST 2LP discography anthology to be released by @zombidanz In close cooperation with the label and under the express authorization by the band, DWTMH is releasing two different T-Shitrt designs and a flag, coinciding with the release of this mandatory compilation.

Tomorrow 8 p.m. CEST time both Destroyer 666 “Six Songs With The Devil” and Decayed “Conjuration of the Southern” circle official merch will be unleashed under the sign of DWTMH. Available both from our website and Bandcamp page

Merch types breakdown as follows:

“Six Song With The Devil” was the demo that presented KK Warlust’s new born aberration after his departure from Bestial Warlust. This recording was the first of many battles waged for nearly three decades with Destroyer 666 on an unstoppable conquering march. An unrelenting exhibition of abandoned intractable Black Death Trash in the most callous down under way.

Along with Sacrificio “Guerra Eterna” and the entire “AMEN” discography by Proclamation “Conjuration Of The Southern Circle” by Decayed is undoubtedly one of the best Black Metal albums ever recorded in the Iberian Peninsula. Released in 1993 and despite being an overlooked and underestimated gem, it’s equally in quality with any of the classic opuses of the Mediterranean era, be them Italian or Greek.

DWTMH is proud to announce our cooperation with @d

DWTMH is proud to announce our cooperation with @destroyer666_official and Lusitanian Black Metal veterans Decayed. As result of these pacts, two exclusive pieces of official merchandise will be available on sale next Wednesday 18th of May, based on the artwork on the releases depicted on the photo.

Designs and apparel types will be unveiled a day before the release date. These will be available for purchase both through our webshop and Bandcamp page.

We have religiously respected the aesthetics of the original recordings and the formats they both were formerly released on. Subsequently we have proceed to scan both the “Six Songs With The Devil” demo tape (in fact it was kindly provided by @ustumallagam of @denial.of.god ) and in the case of Decayed the booklet of the first pressing of their debut album “Conjuration of the Southern Circle” issued by Monasterium Records in 1993.

Our aim has been to maintain the charming imperfection of the layouts, be they photopies or and/or cut and paste techniques. Our partners in crime at @camigraphic have been in charge of the silkscreening hand made process, achieving outstanding results.

After a back and forth of ideas with Keith of Destroyer 666 we agreed that we wanted to stick to the real things instead of the clean first generation scan of the artwork used for the first reissue of the demo on vinyl through Damnation Records and subsequent pressings on Evil Dead, Lonewolf Records or morecentlyby @goatowarex

We insisted about the artwork having to fit the music to which Ketith finally sentenced “The cover should suit the music. I hate mutton dressed up as lamb”. We have to thank @corrosive_88 who made a great restoration (and design) work which was needed once we resized the scan of the demo and realised some details were missing. Thanks to his skills every single bit of underground grimness has been rescued and is going to perdurate in our enduring high end quality merch.

In the stubbornness of the underground mentality w

In the stubbornness of the underground mentality we all tend to state that the band's finest moments are normally their demo and or EPs era. Even if their debut albums and subsequent full lengths feature songs from those primaeval recordings that contributed to shape their sound, the common opinion is that later versions with a bigger budget never match the originals.

For much that Impaled Nazarene two demo tapes “Shemhamforash” and “Taog eht fo Htao Eht”( both released in 1991) are undeniable classics of the genre and the 7” EP “Goat Perversion” released in February of 1992 through Italian label Nosferatu Records was an immense leap forward, the band’s first LP “Tol Cormpt Norz Norz Norz…” is simply unrivalled.

Despite the fact that the songs featured on this seven inch would be eventually re-recorded at Tico Tico Studios for the aforementioned first album and that no studio is mentioned on the credits, it’s very likely that “Goat Perversion” was also registered at the same place.

Sound and performance wise they are so close, up to the point that a casual listener could even think that they belong to the same session. “GP” features less of those entangled devilish vocal arrangements. Despite its tightness, the musicianship delivered in “TCNNN” even if it’s an uncontrollable flagrant aggression, is perfection on its purest form.

This single was another heavy brick on IN’s wall of blasphemies and mockery, showing their incredible progression in just a matter of months. As an anecdote, the EP comes with a weird anti rip-off statement on the back cover about @hellionrecordsofficial and Baphometh Recs and a flyer apologising for the delay on the release of the 7”. Surely no label back in 91-92, would ever have thought that it would take between 6 to 12 months to have a vinyl pressed these days.

What a better way that premiering an unboxing video to unveil the magnitude of the 𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐔𝐗𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝟐𝐋𝐏 𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐘𝐋 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐎𝐗 𝐒𝐄𝐓 of the Proclamation “Imperious Jaws of Ire” demo reissue.

Such a colossal release has involved an herculean amount of work between the band, Annick Giroux who has done an impressive layout design to match the essence of the original cassette releases and the 2020 reissues by @nwnproductions and the DWTMH staff.

An honourable mention to Hideous Abomination of the Perverted Temple of Necromancy of Goatvomit and Kiss of Shame who made a massive archeological work, digging on his massive epistolar archive. He has contributed in the very last minute with some priceless liner notes: he was a sort of mentor for Proclamation in their early days and even prior to that, during the Gorath (pre-Proclamation) times. He also generously submitted the scan of the band bio replica that you will only find on this edition.

Our utmost gratitude to and highest recognition to @thegoreapocalypse who has been responsible for the photos of the different vinyl editions illustrating our socials, promoting the release and also for co-filming, editing and lending his countless talents both in front and behind the camera, in the making of this vinyl unboxing.

Unearthed from the Down With The Most High archive

Unearthed from the Down With The Most High archive. Back in 2011 we gave an deafening and hailing ovation to Bestial Warlust, releasing a traditional polygonal synthetic leather back patch. It has been sold out for ages as it was a limited run on 100 pieces.

We took the inspiration to make this piece from the back of the booklet of the original CD version on Modern Invasion. In all honesty, we were unaware of the existence of the band and accidentally crossed across their debut compact disc in the summer of 1994 during a trip to the UK. When we saw for the first time the artwork on that HMV record shop and flipped it to see the photos on the back and read the album titles, we had the gut feeling that we could be no wrong purchasing it blindly.

Which follows is the promotional text we wrote to promote the release of the patch:

Australia, violent cradle and fertile soil of cacophonic aberrations when it comes to unleash and summoning the forces of chaos under the banner of Metal, sheltered with arson passion and destructive frenzy the outburst of Bestial Warlust

A lethal weapon which spat a plethora of shrapnel and blasphemies in the mid nineties whose collateral damages injured, raped and traumatized the concepts of the underground for the best with their blazing weaponry.

They were not only the first band to compete in terms of ferocity with their compatriots Sadistik Exekution, but in fact they were the very first outfit ever, which made a declaration of their intentions, self-defining and setting their atrocious style as Satanic War Metal and so, proved being definitely right about their aspirations and approach in quest for a total blackened, impious and ravaged world.

They were a main inspiration for an entire new generation of musicians from down under which, in the years to come, showed proudly the grimness of the scar that marked all those who joined their legion and intoned their battle hymns

Norwegian Symphonic Black Metal with a drum machin

Norwegian Symphonic Black Metal with a drum machine instead of flesh and bone player in corpse paint delivered in 1996, may not sound appealing at first these days, for anyone unfamiliar with this act (any?) . But in honest truth Limbonic Art debut album was a cyclopean piece of work of pretentious proportions which caught the attention of @samothofficial of Emperor’s fame who signed them for his label Nocturnal Art Productions

Originally formed by Daemon (who would later sign on Zyklon first album “World ov Worms”]) in 1993, would end up joining forces with Morfeus and drummer Per Eriksen, releasing two demos and promo tape also on NAP.

Prior to the first disband of the band in 2003, Daemon and Morfeus shared duties and instruments both ways (with the exception of keyboards, whose weight fell on Morfeus shoulders). With both members being in charge of the drum programming as as part of the rhythm section and considering that by the time many of their countrymates were relaxing from the hieratism of the True Unholy Black Metal de orthodoxy of the second wave, exploring a departure from the genre and crossing unimaginable musical directions a couple of years earlier, Limbonic Art stayed grim in their ostentatiousness.

With some of the kingpins of their country going industrial, gothic or extremely lame on their symphonic approach, the keyboard, piano and orchestral arrangements of Limbonic Art transported the daring listener on a cosmic voyage into chaotic regions and the vertiginous blackest areas of a starless cosmo.

Vinyl version of the album was pressed by Dutch label Damnation responsible for putting on black wax releases of Pentacle, @asphyxofficial, @destroyer666_official @demoncyband @ancient.official Gospel of The Horns and Emperor on their roster. It's always worth revisiting their back catalogue and not feeling a searing pain of nostalgia.

To tag Dissection's second album “Storm of the L

To tag Dissection's second album “Storm of the Light’s Bane'' under the umbrella of a single (metallic) style would be a vague exercise of taxonomy. Referring to it as an opus of the Metal genre written in capital letters, shouldn’t surprise anybody with a minimum of musical knowledge,

By the time the LP was released in the autumn of 1995 during the pinnacle of the Second Wave of Black Metal, it was perceived as a blackened Death Metal effort, not so distant in its intention to its predecessor “The Somberlain”. Even so, it isn’t risky to find parallelism with the giant leap forward that Metallica took from “Kill ‘Em All” to “Ride theLighing”.

Dissecting this full length heart in hand or doing so under a more “academic” approach with the perspective of time, exposes a diversity of influences that served for the highest purpose of the opus. These weren’t thrown away as a tribute, in fact there’s no single filler which makes it a masterpiece among several other reasons.

The intricate riffing of “Unhallowed” evokes remotely to @possessed_official. The twin guitar efforts harmonies oscillate in a far distant resemblance to Priest or Maiden depending on the mood of the track. The solos in its melancholic emotive way remind Malmsteen of the finest controlled moments. The obsession to achieve perfection in the songwriting is a reflection of Jon Nödtveidt fondness for @officialmorbidangel and @thetruemayhem. Listening to the epicity of “Thorns of Crimson Death” is equal to entering on the same mesmerising triumphant climax of “Blood, Fire, Death”...

Besides the band members' collaborative effort to pen one of the most significant albums of the last three (and a Metal classic without a trace of doubt), @dan_swano_official made a superlative work as a producer providing a glacial freezing coldness to the LP that fit the atmosphere like an iron fist glove.

We developed an obsession with “Horrors of Satan

We developed an obsession with “Horrors of Satan”, @denial.of.god ‘s debut album originally released by Painkiller Records in 2006, which lasts up to this day. A fascination which shall materialise shortly on two highly disruptive and ghastly merchandise items deeply connected and conceptualised with their idiosyncrasy, to be released shortly by Down With The Most High.

After listening to Denmark’s most prominent Black Metal band for the first time in 1995 when trading some copies of their first 7” EP' 'The Statutes areWatching” for our former mail order Ad Inferos, we got haunted…. Ad eternum.

Our fixation increased along the years with their consecutive releases and the waiting caused because of never ending anticipation of their first full length, contributed to spark our mania about them.

In order to understand the the band’s musical efforts not only on this opus but on their entire career, it’s essential to know about the bonded by blood pact that brothers @ustumallagam and (former editor of Tornado Fanzine) and @aztervonghoul (owner of the defunct @thetruehorrorrecords ) sealed musically three decades ago.

Denial of God intended to condense the essence of horror itself on this record and they did it with frightful mastery. Their undeniable Black Metal background wasn’t the only sunless horizon they would dare to explore in order to expand the immensity of a terrifying storytelling.

Their passion for Metal helped to enlarged the epicness of their compositions with a highly loquacious musical lexicon, be it Heavy Metal in the melodies on many of the memorable captivating hooks the album is studded from start to finish, to the Doom imprint of the slower of more sombre passages… Just to name a few.

Some other of their influences may not be as predominant, but when it comes to Horror, these ghouls are a living dead encyclopaedia of it all. Their lunacy comprehends also their devotion for films, literature, history, art…

The fact that their lyrics are intrinsically as important as their music and their extreme idée fixe about the aesthetic, be it their band photos, artwork, layout and the formats of their releases, define their dreadful legacy.

@imprecation666 were going against the tide of the

@imprecation666 were going against the tide of the US Death Metal movement (which mainly developed to technical moshing spiritless brutalism) when in 1993 they released the two songs single “Sigil of Baphomet '' on Spanish label Drowned Productions.

While the USBM movement was slowly strengthening during the heydays of the second wave of Black Metal, the band were in fact blackening their sound but adamantly keeping their DM roots.

Imprecation created a trademark sonority on their debut debut demo “Ceremony of The Nine Angels” , which made them unique. This EP encapsulated their musical transition to darker realms, basically with the elements that were their stylysh pillars adding a wicked mixture of doomy tempos clashing with the insane pounding intricate (almost impossible) rhythm changes unleashed by their former drummer Rubén Elizondo, who passed away last 2021 due to complications of Covid-19.

The band registered this EP, their demo and the songs from their Promo 94 prior to their split-up in 1998 at Hot Dogs Studios, whose production work helped them to create a common sounding thread on each of the recordings of this unholy trinity

The adding of impeccable sinister keyboard passages present since their early days, gained notoriety on this release. While the scattered screaming vocals of Dave Herrera in yuxtapixion to the dominance of his ultra low tuned guttural throat, built an impenetrable sulphurous ambience in an asphyxiating crawling riffing density of unbearable heaviness and abominable impiety.

The opening track “The Awakening of Majestic Darkness” is a perfect obsidian creation, capable of evoking the most sinister and macabre visions ever.

After their disband Dave and Ruben reformed Imprecation in 2009. Both them and Blaspherian (band which guitarist Wes Weaver will put together in 2004) have delivered first class Satanic Death Metal through several releases, but departed from their signature blackened Death Doom approach.

Time to shed some (un)light on Blasphemy “Return

Time to shed some (un)light on Blasphemy “Return of The Hooded Demons” which is inaccurately labelled as a bootleg album, or at least it is not 100% illegit. The true story of this semi-official slab of vinyl goes back in time to @nwnproductions first vinyl release (co-issued with short lived War Hammer Records ) “Live Ritual: Friday The 13th” by Ross Bay Cult Canadian Skinheads.

Die hard version of this live album (which deserves its own post) recorded in July, 2001 after the band reformed in 1999, included among other goodies a CDR with a full rehearsal registered in August, 2021. The insert featured the following statement by Youske Konishi:

“WARNING: IF YOU BOOTLEG THIS REHEARSAL, DO IT IT ON VINYL! AND SEND THE BAND AND ME SOME COPIES!

@aztervonghoul of @denial.of.god who then ran the defunct label @thetruehorrorrecords took up the gauntlet and pressed it on clear vinyl in 2002. The record was housed in a plastic inner sleeve with a generic black jacket and an A4 photocopied sheet, glued on the front with the tracklisting, short credit notes under the banner of Ross Bay Records. Catalogue number RBR 001.

This reh. recording features the unreleased Blasphemy song “Victory (Son of the Damned)” [performed twice] which, with the years, would end up being the title of the official and definitive release treatment it got in 2018 by Nuclear War Now on CD, cassette and vinyl.

Azter was already an experienced label owner and made a quality release, simple, effective and neat, sound and aesthetic-wise. It seems that some people wrongly think that this was part of a myriad of awful sounding bootlegs that were cheaply produced in Brazil during the era which, according to the myth, were made of recycled vinyl albums as raw material.

Last two photos of this carousel gallery show the test pressing version on black vinyl by Ross Bay Records and the CDR included on the die hard of “Live Ritual: Friday The 13th” first edition, that served as the master to this release.

The stamper etched text inside the end-grove area is worded “Return of the Hooded”demons on side A and “Ross Bay Cult Eternal” on side B.

We could have written this post anytime but for on

We could have written this post anytime but for once we will let ourselves go with the flow and vindicate the role of the female gender coinciding with the International Women's Day.

This being said, DWTMH wants to distance from any institutionalised dates on the calendar, rambling speeches and the ongoing polarisation, be it political, ideological, philosophical or merely confrontational just for the sake of it.

The women depicted in this gallery are musicians but could have been unknown ones, related or unrelated to Down With The Most High. These ladies have been a source of inspiration for us in our dark and hard & heavy melomane upbring for the last 35 years.

Above anything else, they are immensely inspiring examples and mentors in the distance, synonyms of hard work, bravery and determination. But specially they are promoters of their own destinies from a creative aspect, on their careers and first and foremost, respected individuals in their styles and niches as a result of their integrity.

Update on the cassette edition of Sacrificio album

Update on the cassette edition of Sacrificio album “Guerra Eterna”. We received the copies of the regular version and the tapes of the limited edition this week. They were slightly delayed and so is the insane custom packaging that is currently being forged for the limited edition.
We have received several messages and comments since we made the announcement of this reissue under license from @ironboneheadproduction and @nwnproductions about how incomprehensibly underrated this masterpiece is. Despite the fact that we share such thoughts, we prefer to focus on its magnificence and treat the release accordingly.
Layout has been commissioned to Annick Giroux of @templeofmysteryrecs and @cauchemarmetal who already has done an incredible job on the reissue of the different formats and merch assault of the Proclamation “Imperious Jaws of Ire” reissue. Design-wise The regular version is an extension of the original CD and vinyl formats while we have broken the envelope and ignited the extra mile when it comes to the limited edition.
We have literally travelled hundreds of kilometres to supervise the
manufacturing of the prototypes and the making of the packaging, which is something that has never been made on a cassette release before. You have our honest word. It involves several techniques, craft practitioners and an elaborate assembling process handled by the DWTMH horde. Every single aspect of this epic accomplishment is of an obsessional meticulousness, matching the warmonger concept of the album and the fire and steel aesthetics of the band.
Last but not least we received the synthetic oversized leather test patch sample that will be released coinciding with the release of both cassette versions. Those of you expecting the return of our patches are well aware that our quality hasn’t been matched by other producers who took inspiration from us. We can assure you that you won't be disappointed but even shall be perplexed about how we even have increased the detail and high end of our signature product.
Some other Sacrificio merchandise will be announced shortly. All this is due to happen at some point of this month of March. On the Dead Will See the End of War!

It’s with pride and endless joy that we are able

It’s with pride and endless joy that we are able to display these copies of artwork from Goatvomit demo era that we received yesterday through the postal service, the old fashioned way.

They were generously submitted to the DWTMH’s stronghold by Hideous Abomination of the Perverted Temple of Necromancy, vocalist, vomitor and blasphemer of this Greek legendary Black Metal band, for a project we are currently forging in conspiracy.

When the band's self-titled demo was released in 2000 few were the acts that vindicated the influence of names such as Blasphemy, Beherit, Impurity or Sarcofago. The late 90s became an overdose of nonsense BM bedroom bands cloning “Transilvanian Hunger” ad nauseam.

With the exception of @conquerorblackmetal and Black Witchery it wasn’t until the arrival of the new millenium when Peruvian Goat Semen and Goatvomit (Blasphemy reformed in 1999 but haven’t recorded any new music ever since) brought in their respective demos all the dementia, chaos and perversity the scene was lacking of for at least a lustrum.

The case of Goatvomit was significant noteworthy since their sound was a total departure from the traditional Hellenic style that the titans of the genre from their homeland developed.

Their demonstration cassette opened with an in crescendo keyboard atmospheric black mass which, on its epitome, transitioned to a 4x4 slitting jugular riff sacred bloodspill libation. The reminiscences of Sacrofago “I.N.R.I” comes to mind and so does the evidence of their mastery to unleash rough-and-tumble madness without the need of falling on the easy temptation of delivering a cathartic lawlessness noise, all the way through this pivotal release.

The balance on the mixing and the production proved their capacity to create irreverent bestial tunes with a memorable songwriting, where every single aspect of from the supernatural vocal work, passing through the lacerating bass lines, and even the scattered wise use of the keybords or the fluency of the interludes, are genious.
