Solstice was formed in 1990 by Rob Barrett, Alex Marquez, and Dennis Munoz in Miami, Florida. Soon after their first demo, the band signed to Steamhammer/SPV, the German label that released their first two albums. However, after Rob left to join Cannibal Corpse and with Alex increasingly busy with Malevolent Creation and Demolition Hammer, the band went into a long hiatus. After a few hints to reunite, the third album finally saw the light of day in 2009.
In 2021, powered with the new blood brought by Taylor and Marcel Salas, Solstice was back in full force, with an impressive display of power in the form of the fourth album, “Casting The Die”, released via Emanzipation.
At the same time, Emanzipation also re-released, in highly collectible CD and LP editions, the albums “Pray” (originally released in 1995) and “The Sentencing” (1992), as well as the 1991 demo, with remastered sound and renewed artwork.
In 2022 it was time for “To Dust”, the 2009 Solstice album, to get a full reissue treatment, being re-released in golden vinyl.

Hailing from the soil of Skanderborg, Denmark, Wayward Dawn play gritty, primal and utterly nasty death metal. The band drags you into a world of vicious nihilism and assaults you with grimy bass, cavernous drums and downtuned guitars played through classic Marshall amps. Venomous words of human and societal decay complete the picture with savage roars, abysmal growls and rotten shrieks.
Since their formation in October 2015, Wayward Dawn have, among other things, played at Aalborg Metal Festival, UHØRT Festival and SPOT Festival, and supported bands like Nailed to Obscurity (DE), Blood Red Throne (NO) and BAEST (DK). With mentions in prominent magazines such as Metal Hammer and GAFFA, the band is known for its hyper-energetic live shows with constant use of the windmill headbanging technique and manic interaction with the audience.
With the release of their critically acclaimed debut album “Soil Organic Matter” in 2018 and more than 40 gigs in Denmark and Germany, Wayward Dawn have slowly but surely crawled their way up from the underground to spread the word of their filthy death metal.
After signing with Danish record label Mighty Music, Wayward Dawn released their sophomore album “Haven of Lies” on April 10th, 2020. The album was met with widespread acclaim and entered the official Danish vinyl chart as #25.
Already the same year as the latest release “Haven of Lies”, the band was back with the two-song release “House of Mirrors” released digitally via Emanzipation Productions in December and on cassette via Molten Face Records.
One and half years later, the band announced the release of a new album. “All-Consuming Void” was, like its predecessors, recorded and produced by Jacob Bredahl at Dead Rat Studio, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Nails, Full of Hell), and consists of seven tracks of filthy, unrelenting death metal. With elements of punk, doom metal and grindcore, the band takes the soundscape to its extremes with the fast parts being faster and the slow parts sinking even further down the abyss of mankind. It was released on digital, CD, and LP (transparent orange vinyl, limited to 300 units) on September 9th, 2022.

Infernal Torment is a mythical Danish brutal death metal band created in 1992 in Silkeborg (Midtjylland), gaining notoriety in the 90’s. They released two albums, being the debut “Man’s True Nature” a classic record with a style close to bands such as Suffocation, Deranged, Fleshgrind, etc. In 1997 they released a second album, entitled “Birthrate Zero”, but a year later the group disbanded. Between its more prominent members there is Jakob “Batten” Hansen who, after Infernal Torment dissolution, went to join Illdisposed, in which he remains until today. Vocalist Scott Jensen is nowadays a member of Dawn Of Demise.
In 2021, the band saw a resurgence in the interest of the death metal fans due to the re-releases of both albums on Emanzipation, for the first time in vinyl format, on highly collectible editions, and with the sound totally remastered. Limited quantities of the vinyl colour variants are still available, but surely not for long.

STASS is the death metal vehicle for Felix Stass, of the mighty german gothmetal giants Crematory.
The band was formed after Felix and Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Ribspreader, etc) met at a show, and later collaborated on a song for one of Rogga’s other bands.
After this the need to make more music together arose and the debut album “The Darkside” came in 2017, showcasing dark and melodic death metal.
For the following album, however, Felix had another idea though, and wanted to go full-on dirty but massive old-school death metal. Still melodic but with the groove and grit from the old Swedish sound both in songrwriting and in the albums sound.
The result is “Songs Of Flesh And Decay”, heavily leaning towards the old Sunlight Studio sound and with songs that are both heavy and catchy. To be released on January 2021 via Emanzipation.
Line-up:
Felix Stass – Vocals (CREMATORY)
Rogga Johansson – Guitars (PAGANIZER, REVOLTING, DEMIURG, RIBSPREADER)
Kjetil Lynghaug – Lead guitars (MORDENIAL)
Thomas Ohlsson – Drums (APOSTASY)

Taetre was formed in 1993 in Sweden and, after shaping up their death/thrash metal sound, released a four-track demo tape in 2996 named “Eternal Eclipse”. With the word on the world, the band was quickly spotted by Emanzipation Productions, who quickly signed them for the 1997 debut album “The Art”, which granted Taetre a good amount of positive reviews and a steady fanbase in the scene.
Two years after “Out Of Emotional Disorder” was released, also via Emanzipation, and continued the musical evolution of the band, which eventually came to its conclusion in the 2002 final album “Divine Misanthropic Madness”, released by Mighty Music. After it, the mastermind, vocalist, guitarist, and main composer Jonas Lindblood embarked on a new musical trip, more brutal and darker, called Puteraeon. It was the end of Taetre – but could it be forever?
