URGEHAL:
Back in 1992 T. Nefas and Enzifer brought to life a bestial black metal
warmachine and named it Urgehal. Now, over 15 years after its unholy
foundation the same warmachine claims new territory.
Urgehal celebrated their 15 years anniversary in 2007 with releasing an
anniversary album entitled "The Eternal Eclipse - 15 years of Satanic Black
Metal". Still proving there are True Norwegian Black Metal bands left from
the early 90's.
2 Demo recordings and 6 albums made Urgehal to one of the most important
underground acts ever! A band that never wanted to be recognized by the
major audience and therefore never targeted their music towards any
commercial paradigms of metal, but stayed true to their faith in the old
underground mentality.
At this very moment Urgehal are preparing their new album and they will
again prove their existence of demonstrative and pounding darkness. This is
stripped down and for real. Await utter Norwegian Darkness.
Black Metal has not become a major movement as many may believe, what has
become big is a new neo black metal movement with solely no roots in the
real past and real values of the fundamental darkness, hate and misanthropy
which black metal is built upon.

The real black metal is still underground, because it's too harsh and ugly
to be swallowed by the big audience. And it will always stay that way.
A decade later there are few left, and who will stand the next?

Originally released in 1999. Southern Lord exposes North American Black
Metal fans to Norwegians URGEHAL. Making "Through Thick Til Death"
domestically available for the first time in America.

Spearhead: "...a force that leads an attack. the leading forces in a
military thrust".

Founded in 2003, Spearhead recorded their debut full-length "Deathless Steel
Command" in mid-2005, later released through Invictus Productions in 2006.
Following the release of the promo EP "When the Pillars Fall", Spearhead
entered Hertz Studio to record their second album, "Decrowning the Irenarch"
in June/July 2007. "Decrowning the Irenarch", once again released under the
banner of Invictus Productions in December 2007, stands as a monument of
imperious and martial Death Metal, testifying to the eternal truths of the
warrior tradition.

The release of "Decrowning the Irenarch" marks the next stage of the
Spearhead campaign; with tight musicianship, memorable song-writing,
sophisticated lyrics/?concept(?s)?,? and a state of the art production. This is
an album of epic proportions, and superior Death Metal mastery.
Spearhead has no affiliations whatsoever with politics or any political
movement.

SPEARHEAD: "Decrowning the Irenarch". The brand new album from the new UK
Death Metal sensation SPEARHEAD has been released. Recorded at Hertz Studio,
Poland & engineered by Wojciech Wieslawski (Vader, Decapitated, Hate,
Azarath, Witchmaster etc.), 'Decrowning the Irenarch' is masterful,
bombastic, militant Death Metal art based on the philosophy and metaphysics
of war. For fans of classic Death Metal like Morbid Angel, Carcass,
Angelcorpse etc. For samples from the album please refer to

Review for SPEARHEAD:
Pete Helmkamp, Angelcorpse
"I really like it, took me a couple listens to grasp everything, but it's a
real standout album, and of course lyrically they are way above the rest."
