***BACK IN STOCK!!! Richmond, VA may be known primarily for its wicked thrash and crust punk scenes, but there's something evil lurking within that doomed old capital. Psyched-out ultra-Sabbathian amplifier worshippers WINDHAND, who boast ex-members of heavy riffters FACEDOWNINSHIT and ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY within their ranks, have risen. The response from the press and fans alike has been immense. Cvlt Nation's review insists, "Windhand takes apocalyptic blues, puts it into a punk bong, lights it with a sabbath lighter and exhales rad clouds made out of fuzzed out bliss...Windhand are way more than a band that you should be on the look out for, they are group of humans that will change the way your hear doom."

***AVAILABLE AGAIN!!! In the almost year and a half since Forcefield Records released YAUTJA’s immensely lauded debut LP Songs of Descent the band has been an unstoppable touring machine. Logging a nearly inconceivable amount of miles traversing the U.S. and Canada’s vast maze of roadways, the band has completed two separate U.S. tours with the likes of CULT LEADER (Deathwish) and INTER ARMA (Relapse), a Canadian run with NO BRAINER and a handful of shorter stints with BLACK BREATH, MUTILATION RITES, THEORIES, SET AND SETTING and others. The band’s unique take on heavy music sounds at times like an early MASTODON jamming with HIS HERO IS GONE - earthy sludginess with hammering blasts and crushing, technical riffage. YAUTJA’s growing stature as one of extreme music’s most compelling and hardworking new bands is wholeheartedly well deserved.

***"This band has created what I think is one of the best records of 2013 (due to delays finally seeing a 2014 release). Not many bands can bridge the gap between doom & black metal like ARGENTINUM ASTRUM. Over the course of three songs, this band proves that when you dig deep for good bands, they are there in the underground conjuring up classic albums! We are streaming the first track off Malleus Maleficarum and it sounds like nothing else on the record because this is where they will hit you over the head with caustic brand of doom! Do me a favor—after you hear Argentinum Astrum tell your friends because this band should be heard by everyone!"—Cvlt Nation. Edition of 500 copies mastered at 45rpm.

***Break neck riffage and ripping vocal chords!HUMUNGUS revives everything pure about ‘80s thrash and trashes the rest. Their latest 7", 'Drink'n A Beer', attacks your ears with two raucous anthems. Delivering old school speed metal with razor sharp execution, these maniacs sound as gnarly as the Richmond basements from which they spewed forth. 100 on clear and black splattered smoke vinyl and 500 on translucent red vinyl.

***Richmond, VA stoned out noise mongers THE CATALYST return with their sophomore full length Voyager, a sonic odyssey that ventures into the bleakest and darkest reaches of outer space. In the 3 year layover the band has added bile and bite returning with their heaviest and most pissed off effort yet. A noise and feedback drenched Am-Rep esque metallic assault, bringing the anger of Today is the Day and Coalesce and the grooves of the Melvins and Unsane. Beautiful translucent orange vinyl comes packaged in a full color gatefold jacket with black dust sleeve, full color labels, and digital download cards.

***Hailing from the filthy bowels of Richmond, Virginia, BALACLAVA play hardcore punk music with severe intensity. Influenced by bands like Neurosis, His Hero Is Gone and Cursed, they have begun to shape their own take on the intersection of punk and metal. Their sound ranges from sludgy, crust-ridden dirges to restrained, ominous melodies to moments of blistering triumph. Their debut full-length, Crimes of Faith, is a thoughtful, multifaceted expression of seething animosity and fervent exultation. CD released by Southern Lord.
