------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Architects "Ruin" $9.99
Drawn together by a love of heavy metal, noise and hardcore, Architects have already made a considerable name themselves on the UK underground. Ruin is truly the band's defining moment; a visceral, uncompromised statement of intent that effortlessly balances unfathomable musicianship with intelligent, compelling song writing.
Chrome Division "Booze, Broads & Beelzebub" $9.99
Featuring members of Dimmu Borgir, The Carburetors and Ashes to Ashes, Chrome Division are a fresh take on a classic sound perfected by Motorhead and Venom, supercharged with a current sound and an extra dose of debauchery and Satan!
Aborted "Strychnine.213" $9.99
Shoving a dirtied, well-placed syringe straight through the heart of expectation, Aborted further remove themselves from the Carcass homage of old on their sixth release. While most bands are content releasing the same record every other year, this collective prefers to strike a rare balance between maturity and experimentation.
HammerFall "Masterpieces" $9.99
Masterpieces is a compilation of cover songs that HammerFall have recorded in their decade long history- from B-Sides, Japanese bonus songs, tribute samplers, etc.-plus three newly recorded songs!
Equilibrium "Sagas" $9.99
Equilibrium are considered one of the hottest up and coming bands in Germany right now. The melodic Folk Black Metal band from Munich have gained a huge fan-base with their 2005 debut album.
Cryptopsy "The Unspoken King" $9.99
Canadian extremists retain many attributes similar to the legendary Greek beast, The Hydra, who terrorized its ancient city for years. Like the vicious creature, this band has lost several heads over the years only to add more in its place to become an even deadlier force.
Opiate for the Masses "Manifesto" $9.99
Opiate for the Masses' much anticipated full-length album, Manifesto is a propulsive mix of sheer hard rock aggression, soaring melodies and electronic experimentation. Motley Crue meets NIN.
Therion "Live Gothic" $12.99
With the success of 2007's Gothic Kaballah and 2004's Lemuria/Sirius B, Therion brought their enchanting and majestic live show throughout the U.S., many successful European festival gigs and a full European tour. An unrivaled epic musical odyssey!
Scar Symmetry "Holographic Universe" $11.99
Just when you think a genre has exhausted its possibilities, when a certain style of metal has hit the wall of mediocrity, along comes a band to jolt life back into it. Hailing from Sweden, Scar Symmetry has proven to be an exceptional gathering of talents able to produce an eccentric mixture of metal that can only be described as intoxicating, modern hybrid of melodic death metal.

KRISIUN VIDEO CLIP
Krisiun "Southern Storm" $9.99
Krisiun's Southern Storm dawns upon us and is destined to set ablaze the entire extreme metal scene with untamed fury and deadly precision! Integrity, brutality, and undying art of pure fucking death metal is what has kept the Brazilian three-pieace going for more than 15 years!
