OUT SOON!


LOCK 002: NUCLEAR WINTER "s/t" MLP



Searching in a dictionary for a definition of nuclear winter, I read,
n.
A worldwide darkening and cooling of the atmosphere with consequent devastation of surviving life forms, believed by some scientists to be a probable outcome of large-scale nuclear war.

That's exactly the feeling you get from the very beginning.
The contaminated wind blows in your face and an eerie, gloomy essence of death is spread out in the atmosphere, with the bell's tolling. 15 minutes of freezing cold darkness, filled with heavy, mid-paced tempos, haunting riffs and gruff vocals.
Combining the death metal touch of Bolt Thrower with the stench crust of Amebix, Hellbastard, Axegrinder.


Another "exhumed" jewel of Greek metallic crust history sees the light of the day after 16 years with an improved look.
Originally released in 1997 as a mcd limited to 566 copies and long sold out. 16 years later, for the first time to be released on vinyl, on an even more limited edition, of 300 copies.
One sided 12", featuring new artwork and full layout design, laser etched B side, embossed cover and an insert/poster with lyrics (in Greek) and album artwork.


Co-released with Necroterror Records.



ΚΥΚΛΟΦΟΡΕΙ ΣΥΝΤΟΜΑ!

LOCK 002: ΠΥΡΗΝΙΚΟΣ ΧΕΙΜΩΝΑΣ "s/t" MLP



Ψάχνοντας στο λεξικό για τον ορισμό του πυρηνικού χειμώνα, διαβάζω τα εξής,
n.
Μια παγκόσμια συσκότιση και ψύξη της ατμόσφαιρας με συνακόλουθη καταστροφή της επιβίωσης των μορφών ζωής, θεωρείται από ορισμένους επιστήμονες να είναι ένα πιθανό αποτέλεσμα μεγάλης κλίμακας πυρηνικού πολέμου.

Αυτό είναι ακριβώς το αίσθημα που νιώθεις από την αρχή. Ο μολυσμένος άνεμος φυσάει στο πρόσωπό σου και μια απόκοσμη, σκοτεινή ουσία θανάτου απλώνεται στην ατμόσφαιρα, με το πένθιμο κτύπημα των καμπάνων.
15 λεπτά τσουχτερό σκοτάδι, γεμάτο με ογκώδες, mid-paced ρυθμό, στοιχειωμένα riffs και βαριά, ακατέργαστα φωνητικά. Συνδυάζοντας το death metal των Bolt Thrower, με το stench crust των Amebix, Hellbastard, Axegrinder.

Ένα ξεθαμμένο στολίδι μεταλλικής crust ελληνικής ιστορίας βλέπει το φως της ημέρας μετά από 16 χρόνια σε μια βελτιωμένη έκδοση.
Κυκλοφόρησε αρχικά το 1997 ως MCD περιορισμένο σε 566 αντίτυπα και εξαντλημένο εδώ και καιρό. 16 χρόνια αργότερα, για πρώτη φορά σε βινύλιο, σε μια ακόμη πιο περιορισμένη έκδοση, σε 300 αντίτυπα.
Μονόπλευρο 12", με νέo εξώφυλλο και σχεδιασμό, πλευρά Β ' με λέιζερ χάραξη, ανάγλυφο εξώφυλλο και ένθετο / αφίσα με στίχους (στα ελληνικά) και το εξώφυλλο του άλμπουμ.

Κυκλοφορεί σε συνεργασία με τη Necroterror Records.
