New Acerus is streaming in full a couple days early over at Invisible Oranges- check it out!
https://www.invisibleoranges.com/acerus-interview/

After four years of waiting, Acerus’ fourth studio album, The Caliginous Serenade, is finally here: nine tracks of molten heavy metal from the mind of Daniel Corchado (The Chasm, ex-Incantation). With more than 10 years writing for Acerus and more than 30 years writing for metal bands, Corchado’s experience has crystalized to a sharp point on this new album. His trademark dense, layered approach is presented at its finest as soaring melodies, masterful layering, mesmerizing polyphonic writing, and pure pounding epic heavy combine to form a new masterpiece. All of this songwriting expertise is combined with the return of the powerful voice of Esteban Julian Pena, Mario Hernandez’s pounding drumming, and Edward Eschamilla’s shredding lead guitar assault and comes together with a singular result: Acerus at their best.

Highly recommended for fans of Ironsword, The Chasm, Warlord, and Manilla Road.

Another year has come and gone already, damn! Crazy how fast it’s gone by–feels like only yesterday that I was writing my list for 2022 and struggling about what to include in it, but it also feels like it’s been far longer. Does that make sense? Are we on the same page here about the flow of time?

It’s not hard to love Autopsy more with every passing year. Even outside of a classic run that competes with ease with the rest of the genre and some of the finest live performances in death metal, Autopsy have something that very few other classic bands do: a catalog of modern albums actually worth buying and listening to. Since their return in 2009 they’ve been showing an entire new generation of fans how it’s done, and the last few releases in particular (starting, in my opinion, with 2015’s excellent Skull Grinder) have been exceptional.

Nameless Grave Records is proud to announce our second reissue of a classic Twisted Tower Dire album, once again with a cool variation from the original version: The Isle of Hydra with an alternate mix from the original sessions and a brand new master, with the CD version being mastered by Andrew Lee and the vinyl version by Dan Lowndes!

Though they formed in the mid-1990s during an absence of heavy metal, by 2001 Twisted Tower Dire was starting to come into the peak of their popularity. They’d played Wacken in Germany for the first time, had a fairly good reception for their debut album two years earlier, and were ready to knuckle down to record a second album that was written collaboratively as a full band for the first time. They had an excellent experience with Kevin “131” Gutierrez at Assembly Line Studios and The Isle of Hydra came into being: sleek, catchy, and a perfect intersection of the band’s early years as an epic Candlemass inspired band and the power metal juggernaut that they’d become.

This alternate mix comes from an earlier session than the one we all know and love, and when it was unearthed by the band it became immediately clear that it merited a release. Powerful bass playing, in particular, is much more prominent than in the original 2001 masterpiece, showcasing Jim Murad’s final recordings in a way that the OG never did and giving a much larger nod to the epic leanings of the band’s formative years. Capped off with the glorious new masters and the band’s earliest recorded rehearsal of these songs as CD bonus tracks, this version will equally satisfy new fans using this as an introduction to the band and old fans ready to experience a favorite again.

All digital downloads on Bandcamp come with the CD bonus tracks and PDF versions of the vinyl inserts so that fans can enjoy the full liner notes and the bonus tracks regardless of their chosen format.

Highly recommended for fans of Visigoth, Pharaoh, and Omen.

What goes together as well as heavy metal and Conan? As Idaho upstarts By Fire and Sword have shown with their debut album Glory, it’s heavy metal and cults—and By Fire and Sword are the leaders of this show. Literally the leaders, at least from the perspective of the lyrics, which are all from the point of view of the band’s singer The Honorable Reverend Tim Tom Jones.

Funny story: the Nameless Grave Records webstore host has a maximum item limit, and we hit it. To make room for new inventory we’re doing some cheapo random-item loot boxes of older stock to help make room. These are NOT stock containing poorly-selling Nameless Grave Records releases that we’re just trying to foist onto people- these are excellent releases that just haven’t sold amazingly for whatever reason. There are plenty of name brand bands in here: Krypts, Undergang, Obliteration, Sabbat, Head of the Demon, Absu, Obituary, White Magician, Ashbury, and tons more, most of them stuff we have in our own collections.

If you have a genre preference, let us know with your order and we’ll do our best- though no promises. We will also try to avoid sending any multiples of anything if you buy several at once.

We will sell boxes til we’re out of stuff to stuff in them. These are limited (about 10 boxes of the LP and cassette ones, and a few more CD ones), so if you want one (or more), get it while you can!

Nameless Grave Records is excited to announce the release of Helms Deep’s devastating debut album, Treacherous Ways, on CD, cassette, and a special limited vinyl pressing of 500 copies on classic black wax, with exciting diehard options for CD and vinyl formats! Helms Deep was formed by singer/songwriter/guitarist Alex Sciortino to channel his love of classic heavy metal and is rounded out by the thunderous bass playing and backup vocals of John Gallagher (Raven) as well as by the meticulous drumming and songwriting of Mike Heller (Raven, Malignancy).

Across 11 tracks of old school heavy and power metal devastation, Treacherous Ways shows Helms Deep both as the rabid adherents to the old school and as the amazing modern musicians that they are- high octave screams, ripping guitar riffs, devastating drum fills and melodic and enigmatic bass lines create something that’s as unique as it is catchy and nostalgic. With a classic painting from the legendary Michael Whelan gracing the album’s cover and organic studio production from Lasse Lammert (Sigh, Glacier, Raven), Helms Deep have brought the spirit of the old back with a vengeance on this excellent debut show of force.

Diehard sets are strictly limited to 50 copies of each format, including a CD or LP, a woven patch, and a flag measuring approximately 2.3′ x 3′ (70 cm by 93 cm). The diehard set is ONLY available from the label webstore or from the Helms Deep bandcamp page!
