GOATMOON "Alien Terminator" CD Single 2024
1. Solarstorm 2. Alien Terminator
"A shock you weren't prepared for ! New two-song single by Goatmoon with vocals by none other than ex-Mayhem legend Maniac, lyrics and electronics by Harald Mentor and all this, of course, directed by the one and only show stopper BlackGoat GraveDesecrator. Like the title suggests, it's a deeply Sci-Fi Action themed affair, complete with eye popping, brain melting, mesmerising original artwork."

GRAVELAND "Impaler's Wolves" MCD 1999
1. Impaler of Wallachia 2. In the Northern Carpathians
"At the longest fullmoon night In the castle near the forest Where the howling of wild wolves Sounds like music of dark abyss At midnight wind was blowing Transylvanian snow was falling From the bloody womb of woman Son of dragon was born Mystic howling in the forest Spreads the sacred words of evil "Thou art. Lord of Wallachia, Thou shalt be the Dracula..." May this night be eternal As eternal as his soul The man with satanic spirits Became horrified ruler... By the fire and sword By the fear and terror Like wolf thirsty for blood Vlad destroyed his enemies... They called him impaler And they lived in fear "Blood is life" he said, And he killed them to live again... And the night of end has come They were waiting for his death Three nights later grave was empty Vlad became the higher form ! "I am nightmare, warrior spirit From the house of dead I come I am darkest force of night Bloodlust covered my mind..."

GEHENNA "Malice (Our Third Spell)" CD 1996
1. She Who Loves the Flames 2. Made to Suffer 3. Touched and Left for Dead 4. Bleeding the Blue Flame 5. Manifestation 6. Ad Arma Ad Arma 7. The Pentagram 8. Malice 9. The Word Became Flesh 10. Before the Seventh Moon
"In total control Total supremacy Terror spreads with increasing speed Towards the west from the east
Soldiers scream out in fascination Caused by horror beyond their imagination Killing humanity in one glorious moment of passion Sought pleasure in that one moment of total satisfaction Call out for global suicide Mankind's only saviour from life
Humanity wondering what went wrong Dying whilst the war-machine rolls on
Euthanasia, killing out of sympathy Saving humanity from it's overwhelming stupidity Thousands die by second Millions die by the minute Nations die by the hour All hail the rise of nuclear power
Humanity wondering what went wrong Dying whilst the war-machine rolls on Humanity wondering what went wrong Humanity fellating the barrel of a gun Thousands die by second Millions die by the minute Nations die by the hour All hail the rise of nuclear power"

STARGAZER "A Great Work of Ages / A Work of Great Ages" CD 2010
1. Red Antlered Radiant 2. Passing Stone - Into the Greater Sun 3. Pypes of Psychosomatis 4. Refractive Convex Continuum 5. Chase for the Serpentsong 6. The Morbid Slither, the Sinner Slough 7. Hue-Man-King 8. Formless Face of the Timeless Faceless
"Heir to us trust oh highest Gods & forevermore speak In the coloured serpent dialect Of first flock and watery origins
Stirreth clay to broil and Breathe bountiful angels
To never, tread stale waters & Scavenge among buzzard Is righteous ; foremost to Proper exultation Exalt in the heaven The earth & the just
Conciliate the primeval Pact in horns Sprint alike fevered, Demented beasts Onto rusty, shodden gates Behind which hide wights Brandishing ignorant evils
So the tempered fury erupts With swirling moons to crush Tsunami warmongers salute The sun & submerge Elliptical floods purify & purge
Red redemption Contorts a vastness A fatal creatrix swallows the sky Smokey talons smite Vicarious Inner gongs peal In maddened pitch
Affluent in all highest The wraith of wrathful lights Streams into the fore"

"Death Creature creeps around Midnight Now the grinds her down
Cutting her legs Bathing in blood His knife in her cunt He pulls out her guts

Satan Commands With Blood He draws the signs of hell In the house of "God" He recites the words of spell
On the wall Nice relic Headless body Crucifixed
Satan Commands"

TORTURIUM "Chamber" CD 2024
1. Maailman Hautaan 2. Uskon Tuhka 3. Verilinja 4. Vainajala Valuu Vuokseni 5. Torturium Chamber 6. Rastegaisa 7. Arvid
"A whopping eighteen years after the previous album, Finnish Black Metal cult Torturium shocked the world in 2024 by releasing their third album online. Out of the blue and without any further explanations. Now, with killer artwork by Nayla Darkart, Bestial Burst is very proud to put it out in a physical format it truly deserves. Raw, sharp and cold as ever, the riffs are even more fierce and songwriting more compelling than before. Music already written by the main man Lord War Torech in 2008, more recently finalized with a new trio line up in 2023 - 2024 making this album a well orchestrated ensemble to reach that final Black Metal catharsis. The wait was long, but certainly worth it as this is nothing short of a timeless masterpiece."

SOLSTICE "Lamentations" CD 1994
1. Lamentations IV 2. Neither Time Nor Tide 3. Only the Strong 4. Absolution in Extremis 5. These Forever Bleak Paths 6. Empty Lies the Oaken Throne 7. Last Wish 8. Wintermoon Rapture 9. The Man Who Lost the Sun 10. Ragnarok
"Deep in my soul a tender secret dwells Lonely and lost to sigh for evermore Save when to you my heart responsive swells Then trembles into silence as before
There in its center a sepulchral lamp Burns the slow flame eternal but unseen Which not the darkness of despair can damp Though vain its ray as it had ever been
In some hidden crevice, of this grim cadaver Comes from the deep a cry for fates graceful favour The only thought that my heart, dare not brave Is my last love cannot grant my last wish
My fondest, faintest memories hear Grief for the dead, no virtue can reprove Then give me all I ever asked, a tear The first, last sole reward of so much love"
