Black Metal

Some question why IN TWILIGHT’S EMBRACE is now being released by Terratur Possessions, and although we owe no one anything, I’ll briefly explain.

After spending weeks on tour with these guys getting to know them first hand, seeing how hard working they are, I’ll rather work with passionate, real artists who works from an honest and devoted place, rather than partaking in the charade of brotherhoods, militias and idolizations that plagues the Black Metal genre today. Where everyone’s in each others echo chambers, praising what’s at best mediocre, thus weakening all that we stand for. Without criticism one gets nowhere, surround yourself with yes-men and your downfall will follow.

Although starting off as a Hardcore band exactly 20 years ago, both the band and members evolved into something more sinister. I mean, who doesn’t change over a 20 year period…? They started perfecting their craft around 14 years after their formation, through a magnificent album called VANITAS. This is for me where the band shone through as a legit Black Metal band and raised the bar significantly. This did not get unnoticed and they toured the land relentlessly with bands like IMMOLATION, AZARATH and BLAZE OF PERDITION.

A year later we saw the follow up LAWA blow up like Iceland and the band got recognition inside and outside of Poland, and the chatter began; where the hell did these guys come from? More giggling and touring followed alongside MGLA, BEHEMTOH and WHOREDOM RIFE, to mention a few.

Power Electronics

Released in a beautiful limited edition of 300 copies, fully remastered for this vinyl edition by Lasse Marhaug, is a highly sought-after milestone in noise music. Incapacitants create inexhaustible chaos verging on the sublime, and take you on a truly excruciating journey toward catharsis!
This first time vinyl reissue is about as essential as they come and an absolute must for any Japanoise fan. Cover perfectly reproduce the LP album’s original artwork, along with this release is a four-page A3 folded insert with previously unpublished photos, notes from 2001 by JOJO Hiroshige (with an addendum by T.Mikawa), and new comprehensive made for this reissue by Lasse Marhaug.

Noise

Incapacitants are the best noise band to ever come out of Japan; the group was formed in 1981 in Osaka, as the solo project of Toshiji Mikawa, a member of the amazing noise group Hijokaidan. Mikawa later moved to Tokyo, where he joined with Fumio Kosakai (also an occasional member of Hijokaidan, as well as a former member of C.C.C.C.) to make Incapacitants a duo and they released its first album Feedback Of N.M.S. on Alchemy Records CD in 1991.

An absolutely masterful piece of work, threaded with risk, ambition, raw immediacy, and precision. While astounding artists in their own right, deserving every bit of the accolades they’ve thus far received,  Toshiji Mikawa and Fumio Kosakai seem capable of something profound together that has yet to have heard. Feedback Of N.M.S. is everything we hope to hear from an experimental endeavour and so much more.

Issued on double vinyl  in a very limited edition of 299 copies, with six cards reproducing Takuya Sakaguchi’s original drawings and adding an unreleased drawing and extensive notes in Japanese and English, it’s impossible to recommend enough. Ten out ten, and mind-bendingly good. Once the word gets out, this one isn’t going to sit around for long.

RAC/OI!

Their first, long-awaited album “Reveal All!” was only released in 1985, after the band had released a double A-side single called “Riots/A Matter of Time” on their own label “IndEx Records” at the end of 1983. “Reveal All!” is classic Oi! Music in its rawest form with titles like “A Way of Life” and “Bank Holiday” to harder songs like “I won’t let my Country die” and “Save the Nation”. In 1985/86 the local Oi! Scene has probably reached its lowest point. At a gig in Tufnell Park, North London, singer Steve Reeve got into an argument with hardliners in attendance. One of these idiots threw a bottle while Indecent Exposure were playing their set, Steve’s head was hit and slashed. In Hardcore Oi! Indecent Exposure finished their concert in a similar manner and then jumped into the crowd to find the bottle thrower. But in true low-life fashion, the culprit had crawled back into the hole he came from. Later that night, Steve was taken to the hospital where he received twelve stitches in his head.

RAC/OI!

Officially available on vinyl for the first time since 1985 on Rock-O-Rama Records! Founded in 1981, the then young patriotic musicians sang about their own life experiences and the things that were happening around them. The fact that they had to watch their once great country violently decline under the Tory government of Margaret Thatcher tore their hearts.

Black Metal

New split between these two underground acts.

Funeral Doom

LP comes in a regular jacket with glossy UV lacquer, printed innersleeves and poster!

Black Metal

Black double 12″ vinyl in gatefold, cut at 45 RPM for optimum fidelity, third pressing 300 copies worldwide.

Cult black metal act INQUISITION exploded from the underground with 2013’s full-length ‘Obscure Verses For The Multiverse’. Prior to the release of this critically-acclaimed masterpiece, the American duo had unleashed five other albums that all contributed in establishing INQUISITION as a rising black star on the extreme metal scene.
Originally published in 2002 and long out of print, ‘Invoking the Majestic Throne of Satan’ established the band’s trademark chainsaw riffs and ominous vocals croaking odes to the infinite and satanic alike. Foreshadowing INQUISITION’s arrival as the new kings of darkness and now adorned with brand new cover art designed Paolo Girardi, the album’s nine paeans to the occult are at once hostile, hypnotic, and bombastic.
