After a previously released  full length on Unique Leader Records, touring the US with elite death metal acts, and being heralded as one of the genre's biggest up-and-coming bands, ODIOUS MORTEM return with their new album and Willowtip debut, Cryptic Implosion. Pummeling, extremely technical, and vicious, Cryptic Implosion is an album that will take the scene by storm and establish the band as one of the best technical death metal bands in the world. 

Straight from the mean streets of New Jersey emerges a truly titanic force of unparalleled aggression and intricacy that began nearly 20 years ago. Featuring ex-members of legendary psycho-thrashers RIPPING CORPSE, DIM MAK delivers a twisted cyclone of warp-speed technical death metal with their third album and Willowtip debut, Knives of Ice. Armed and dangerous with John Longstreth (ANGELCORPSE, ORIGIN, SKINLESS) on drums, Knives of Ice sets a new standard for unrestrained musicianship that exposes the listener to a myriad of slithery Tetris-defeating rhythms, violent flurries of spitfire blast-beats, exotic, pyramid-melting leads, and infectious vocal lacerations. These elements combine to create an original, fluid songwriting style that actually means something and isn't afraid to flirt with some seriously skullcrushing slap-dash grooves. These men were the spearheads behind the scene that spawned HUMAN REMAINS, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, and BURNT BY THE SUN, and Knives of Ice proves to be more relevant and ambitious than ever.

Crowpath sharpens their knives and continues their blazing path of aural destruction with their sophomore album, Son Of Sulphur. Sacrificing none of the jagged technicality of their debut, Red On Chrome, the band has evolved into a versatile machine that seamlessly marries the grating, trainwreck chaos factor of modern death and grind with lumbering doom metal contractions that inhale the clouds and melt your kneecaps. Son Of Sulphur emphasizes Crowpath’s enthusiasm for dynamic musical growth without compromising their abrasive intensity or scab-coated attraction to perverse complexity.

The limited vinyl version of this modern day grindcore classic.  Contains 2 bonus tracks not found on the CD.  Ultra deluxe 200 gram virgin vinyl in glossy gatefold sleeves.

Boasting past members of Cattlepress, Ripping Corpse, and Dim Mak, The Dying Light slaughter all pretenders to the throne with their sophomore album and Willowtip debut, The Killing Plan. The Killing Plan showcases intricate three-dimensional guitar interplay and chemical burn blasterbatory percussion filtered through concise, to-the-point songwriting. Masterfully produced by Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, Morbid Angel, Ripping Corpse), the frantic thrash of The Killing Plan climbs and shimmers like towers of dark quartz rising out of the desert floor.

This 6 track MCD features three brand new exclusive songs from two of deathgrind's biggest up and coming bands: Misery Index and Commit Suicide. Misery Index plays a lethal form of deathgrind filled with pulverizing riffs and blasts with intelligent political/social layers. Members have played in such bands as Dying Fetus, Suffocation, MOD, and Pessimist. Commit Suicide shares this split and are equally as lethal. This split release sees Commit Suicide getting even faster and more brutal, and their cover of the Death classic 'Open Casket' has to be heard to be believed.

After being named one of Terrorizer Magazine's Best Bands of 2002, Boston's Watchmaker have returned with their sophomore release Kill.Fucking.Everyone. Using their instruments to take on all opposition, Watchmaker obliterate everyone in their path churing out 19 tracks of the most violent metal ever unleashed upon the world. This is pure destruction put to music. Kill.Fucking.Everyone leaves no survivors.

Following their much heralded release of Summary Execution on Necropolis Records in 2001, San Francisco's Vulgar Pigeons have returned delivering one of the best grindcore albums in years with Imperialism. Filled with catchy, blazingly fast and well written songs, Imperialism blends elements of thrash, grindcore, and death metal to yield Vulgar Pigeons' best album to date. Quite simply, this album is everything that is great about grindcore.

The first, and ultimately, the last full length from this Indianapolis bases five piece. Combine Cannibal Corse with Suffocation, add a bit more speed, and a high pitched screaming vocalist ala Carcass... this album is a masterpiece.

*BACK IN STOCK IN LIMITED SUPPLY.  IF YOU WANT ONE, BETTER GET IT QUICK.*

the long awaited full length from this boston based band has finally arrived. 13 tracks of triumphant thrashing melodic death metal. fans of in flames, at the gates, arch enemy, etc will love this! filled with tons of amazing and catchy riffs this is a release you won't soon forget. check out the mp3's for a sample!

Here is the debut recording from Sadis Euphoria. These Pittsburgh natives play grind influenced death that is absolutely crushing. Insanely technical yet sort of melodic with the occasional mosh part and some of the sickest vocals I've ever heard. Six tracks clocking in at sixteen minutes

After the acclaimed mini cd release Frigid Silence Spilling in 2001, Pittsburgh's Sadie Euphoria emerge again unleashing their debut full length "Instinct & Obsession". "Instinct & Obesession" contains 13 tracks of extremely brutal and technical forward thinking death metal featuring songs that are complicated and intricate yet undeniably memorable and well written. Sadis Euphoria have unleashed an album that pushes the boundaries of the genre in heaviness, originality, and approach. Mixed and Mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Nile) "Instinct & Obsession" will undoubtedly be heralded as one of the best and most devastating releases in 2003.

Yet another absolutely amazing band from montreal. this release is basically a complete discography of all Neuraxis material. Includes their two full lengths Truth Beyond and the long out of print classic first full length Imagery as well as their mcd A Passage Into Forlorn in a 2 cd set. Also included are bonus tracks and multimedia video footage. Musically, imagine a combination of Suffocation, At The Gates, and Cryptopsy. Seriously one of the best technical metal bands in the world today and this double disc package serves as a testament to their greatness.

Necrophagist's debut album from 1999 that's been out of print for
years and desperately wanted by so many. This is no simple re-print,
it's a completely new edition. The   band was waiting for this day to
unleash the complete fury of the compositions, which the band believed
to be lost to some extent due to technical restrictions   in terms of
gear back in 1999. The new edition includes:

- Completely new drum samples recorded piece by piece by Necrophagist's
Hannes Grossmann. The samples were then used to feed the drumcomputer.

- The old guitar, bass and vocal tracks being reincarnated and joined
with the freshly fed drumcomputer, all mixed down into a powerful,
crisp and clear stereo track.

- 2 previously unreleased songs from the self-titled 1995 
demotape being added as bonus tracks.

- A powerful mastering by the Necrophagist "in-house" engineer 
and producer Christoph Brandes at The Iguana Studios.

- A whole new artwork by long-time Necrophagist designer Sascha Ehrich.
						
						
						
					

Surging and swelling like a teenage brain tumor going through puberty, alchemetalists Kalibas rise out from the entangling clutches of Rochester’s gutter and infects the listening public with their most eccentric yet mature musical statement to date, Enthusiastic Corruption Of The Common Good. Flirting equally with puncturing pirate melody and caustic discordance over the course of the EP’s five songs, twin guitars nurture a tremendously technical and distinct spirographic style of stress-addled riffery set to boggle and toggle the controls for the heart of the sun. Featuring an updated lineup, Kalibas has shed the more overt and haphazard "grind" influence apparent on their first full-length, Product Of Hard Living, in favor of superimposed layering and orchestrated maze-like mantras of melody --- techniques which have more in common with recent Gorguts and labelmates Rune as opposed to the gamut of one-dimensional death/grind acts polluting unenlightened eardrums. These five "lessons" seem to romantically crawl down the back of one's neck and settle at the base of the skull, expanding and contracting like an undecided erection patiently waiting to discharge its payload. Enthusiastic Corruption Of The Common Good is a zigzagging showcase of Bermuda triangle mysticism and clown juggling dexterity laughing in your ears, reminding you of the boisterous tickle of shimmering dolphin squeals or of toy soldiers burrowing in your brain matter, obtrusively poking and prodding with their lead bayonets. Integrated, organized, starry-eyed, and misty care of Tinkerbell’s sprinkles of pixie dust, the brazen Kalibas have become a clover-leafed magic metal band able to transcend any of the restrictive trappings of extreme music’s subgenres, consequently setting them head and shoulders above their contemporaries.

The debut full length from this Rochester, NY tech grind powerhouse. Ex members of Lethargy, Agiel, As the World Burns, etc. Flawless songwriting, amazing production, and an all around masterpiece of an album. Check out the mp3's to get an idea of what you are in form, be prepared to be pummeled. Be on the lookout for their upcoming split cd with Rune on Relapse. In stores August 20th, but available for online ordering and shipping starting July 12th

While never losing sight of the looming Grand Canyon-styled grooves, Canadian newcomers Ion Dissonance have surgically forged a debut album fit to mystify the mind through a dizzying disharmonic orchestra of technical proficiency and unabashed abrasion. Squawking and squirming like R2D2 and C3PO in a cockfight to the death, Breathing Is Irrelevant asphyxiates even the most assertive of listeners. Undoubedly one of 2003's best releases.

Goatsblood’s Drull is music to be seen through rat’s eyes, to be heard through the cracks of sewer lids in your most drug-addled neighborhood. These Canadian juggernauts of bloated, blackened sludge have stirred their cauldron of creativity summoning nine new hymns of tortured, tyrannical trudgery akin to vintage Melvins, Eyehategod, and Burning Witch. At their slowest, most oppressive and ominous, Goatblood feels like a rusty corkscrew gradually being coiled up your urethra. At their most harmonious and chord-broken, Goatsblood is the toothpick-in-mouth Southern Cross outlaw walking behind the rows with the blackbird perched on his left shoulder. Like slurping sweet molasses off a popsicle stick, Drull’s insular hatred and detuned diabolical depression yields a cathartic, yet snide smile on the face of the listener. With production values handled by Mr. Steve Austin of Today Is The Day, rest assured that every morsel of bombastic nihilistic negativity Goatsblood spews is articulately captured. Drull leaves you feeling judged and violated, but you’ll love it because this is a soundtrack to expose the kicking and screaming victim in all of us. Not for the weak of heart, stomach, or soul…

the debut release with their all new lineup. brutal death metal comparable to Deeds of Flesh, Suffocation, Bolt Thrower... they left us with this amazing disc.

this release is a discography of sorts and contains all the material written by their old guitarist. Includes the split 7"s with Drogheda and Creation is Crucifixion and 4 unreleased tracks. In addition to this there are 3 newly recorded tracks that are were written but left unrecorded. Joe Horvath (codc) appears as a guest second vocalist on these 3 songs.

Born and raised in a country whose metal bands shamelessly shoplift enough Iron Maiden to warrant musical plagiarism suits to be filed, Sweden’s Crowpath outshine the hamfisted hordes of hackneyed copycats with their debut masterpiece of abrasive anti-melody, Red On Chrome. The 13-track, 30-minute mammoth was recorded by Fredrik Reinedahl (In Flames, Burst, Gadget, Dimension Zero) and wields an absolute air of clarity and nucklebusting crunch rarely heard in a time of tin can production values. Fusing the drunken, staggered grooves of latter-day Coalesce with Immolation’s trance-inducing sense of rhythm and dynamics, Crowpath triumphs in carving out an album that extracts the most violent, technically-obsessed aspects from modern death metal and intrinsically filters them through the urgent unpredictability of grindcore.

From the mastermind behind Capharnaum, Jason Suecof, comes Crotchduster. Quite simply unlike anything you have ever heard.

"Have you ever had listening experiences that have caused you to undergo such a magnificent spiritual revelation? Okay, so I have those every five minutes, but this time, THIS TIME, it's sincere and honest. Trust me! Would I mislead you? (Don't answer that, it's rhetorical.) Anyways this is the spiritual enlightenment of a lifetime! This is the metal band to end all metal wars and crusades! This is THE band you need to hear. This . . . is . . . Crotchduster?

THAT'S RIGHT! Crotchduster. To explain the history of this band would take hours and ultimately perplex you so I'll take the liberty of summing it up in two words: tax evasion. Don't worry if it doesn't make sense to you now, just give it some time and it will slowly seep into your puny little minds.

Not convinced just based on that information alone? Let's go to the selling points. Are you one of those schmucks who hate Suffoclones and every new melodic metalcore band that has no iota of diversity in their music whatsoever? Well have no fear! Because Crotchduster effectively pulls off the exhausting task of including EVERY GENRE of music there is possible! You've got thrash, death metal, power metal, glam! You've got vocoders! You've got Glen Danzig impersonations! You've got Slayer covers! You have improvisational jazz! All of this performed with such crafty musicianship that you won't believe your very ears! Still not sold? You've even got a special guest vocal appearance from RICHARD CHRISTY!!! STILL not sold??? THEY HAVE A DOG AS A DRUMMER. You don't get much more BR00TAL than that, man!

But why talk more about this than I have to? Just download the MP3's from the website and get a taste of the supremacy that is Crotchduster. This has already won my vote as album of the year. In fact, this may very well win my vote as album of FOREVER! This is the greatest metal album you will ever hear! Listen to Crotchduster or DIE! Support Williamsburgland and buy plenty of Mammal Sauce! Buy this album! Buy Buy Buy Buy Buy Buy Buy!!!

God damn… Willowtip is just digging out all of the good death metal bands lately. It's no wonder a lot of other labels are mostly releasing total shit. This one's a real winner across the board. The music is fucking complete and total death metal just how it should be done: A sense of contemporary flare with old school roots, great changes (and tons of 'em), just the right amount of technicality, a wide range of tempos, solid musicianship and songwriting, and so on. And all of this compressed into songs that almost never stretch past the three-minute mark. The vocals are incredibly forceful low growls with some slightly higher screams on occasion. And if you want to talk contrast, take the fucking stellar "Hungry American" - one minute sounding not unlike early Deicide at their best, the next dropping a slick acoustic melody, then breaking into some chugging rhythms with fucked up time signatures and nice dual guitar interaction. Also evident on occasion are brief yet blazing solos, light instances of perfect dissonance, or carefully tucked away melodies. Fucking great stuff. The recording is awesome. I don't have any real complaints. The drums sound great and highlight a tight performance, the guitar tone is loud and heavy, but not messy, the bass tone is well defined and adds great low-end density, and the vocals are perfectly placed right at the heart of it. There are a few breaks where the bass takes control and it sounds fucking amazing, so I'd definitely like to hear the basslines take hold a little bit more, but it's not a big deal. This sounds better than most any death metal release that's come out on far larger labels lately. Also far above average are the lyrics, which encompass an intelligence almost unheard of within such genres. "The shirt of the nation is still stained with the gravy. A whole generation now knows no fear for life or prosperity. Awaiting a time, awaiting a chance to put their ass on the line. The loyal and vicious gather arms and begin to shine. Hunger pain in the homes of average men hails the twilight of altruism's orgies once again. Inspiration comes when looking out for number one…" The layout uses a minimal color scheme of browns with tons of metallic gold ink printed above. It can make the lyrics hard to read at certain angles, but it's worth it in the end because it looks slick. This is another one of the best death metal records I've heard in years, and it's the second of which coming compliments of Willowtip. Highly recommended. 9/10
