Expired Youth
Where We Stand EP
Think Fast Records

Paying homage to their peers and friends, the band has been compared to anything from the early AGNOSTIC FRONT lineup, to UNIFORM CHOICE, to that of early Chicago natives LIFE SENTENCE. EXPIRED YOUTH define all that is needed to pave the way and show that Chicago Straight Edge is still alive and well. Singing songs about emotions, broken friendships, and the perils of everyday life, the debut EP Where We Stand is a call to arms to not only everyone involved in the hardcore/punk scene, but to straightedge enthusiasts worldwide.

The Eye
Supremacy LP
Debemur Morti Productions

After years of lying dormant in forgotten silence, the icy menace of THE EYE has risen anew. Originally released in 1997, 'Supremacy' contained eight unholy canticles of cold, hypnotic black metal in its purest form. Conceived and executed by Vindsval, THE EYE's sole full-length explored the cruel mythos of Odinism and delved into a poetic worship of nature in its dark, repetitive compositions, foreshadowing its creator's later work with star-driven black magicians BLUT AUS NORD. THE EYE's final testament is a lost classic that has been found and elevated to its rightful place. All copies come with poster.

Face To Face
Protection LP
Fat Wreck Chords

FACE TO FACE: The melodic punk institution, whose songs have influenced and entire generation of bands, return to Fat Wreck Chords - the same label who released their classic debut 'Dont turn away'. Protection, the groups 9th full length album, draws from the energy of their earlier records but is filtered through the band's unique perspective as true 'lifers' in punk rock. The result is an urgent and powerful 11-song blast that recalls the melody and angst of the band's formative sound, while showcasing their greatly matured song-writing acumen. Thoughtfully penned lyrics bolster the entire album, from band favourites ' Double Crossed' and 'Say What You Want' to the vicious barb '14:59' and the emotional 'Bent But Not Broken'. Another factor in the album's outcome was the contribution of Bill Stevenson (NOFX, Rise Against, Propagandhi). After nearly two decades of Face To Face producing their own albums, the benefit of the collaboration with Stevenson is reflected in the elevated feeel of 'Protection'. Despite the fact that Face To Face doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, 'Protection' is an emphatic validation of their 25 years of massive commercial and critical success.


Tracklist:
1. Bent But Not Broken
2. I Won't Say I'm Sorry
3. Double Crossed
4. See if I care
5. Say What You Want
6. Protection
7. 14:59
8. It Almost Went Wrong
9. Keep Your Chin Up
10. Middling Around
11. And So It Goes

Faustcoven
Hellfire And Funeral Bells LP
Nuclear War Now Productions

The release schedule of Norway's Faustcoven is as slow and deliberate as the band's music. It has been nearly four years since the last Faustcoven album, but with this new record, "Hellfire and Funeral Bells," Faustcoven demonstrate the virtues of a band taking time with its craft. This album, like all of Faustcoven's work, is steeped in a classic doom sound, but exhibits a recognition and infusion of more modern and extreme forms of metal as well. For these reasons, Faustcoven has, through the years, commanded the attention of an extremely dedicated and fanatical core of admirers even though the band has, for the most part, been under the radar of the scene at large. Since its inception, Faustcoven has been a nightmarish projection of the mind of Gunnar Hansen -- the only consistent member of Faustcoven. For recording purposes, Hansen is joined by Johnny Tombthrasher on drums. Yet despite the fact that it was executed by just two individuals, the sound on "Hellfire and Funeral Bells" is massive. Hansen's songwriting is unparalleled within this style of doom metal. Every riff is crafted to contribute to the movement of the song as a whole. Never static, the tracks evolve and build as the riffs are seamlessly merged into place within the horrifying soundscapes. Hansen has been consistently refining and focusing his approach with every new album and release. This new album is very likely the most succcesful effort Faustcoven has yet put forth.
