"Novella Reservoir", the brand-new album from acclaimed Chicago-based metal group NOVEMBERS DOOM will officially see the light of day on the 20th February via The End Records. We will have the album available in our on-line shop a few days before the official release date at a very nice price! In addition to the standard jewel-case edition, we will also stock the special limited edition including a book by the band's frontman, in which you will find the lyrics to all songs from all five albums with their analysis and personal explanations. In the meantime, you can check out one of the tracks from the newest album, namely Drown the Inland Mare. Highly recommended!

One of the most prominent acts on the current alternative music scene, a Canadian duo NADJA, (re-)signed to Foreshadow for 2 full-length albums. The band, which already released music for us in the past (in limited CD-R format), will release two new offerings in CD format. The first of them will be completely re-recorded and re-arranged album of "Corrasion", which was originally released on CD-R in limited edition of 200 copies. The version anno domini 2007 was recorded in January 2007 and now features not only a new, massive sound, but also lots of new musical elements which enhanced the music in a magnificent way. Additionally, the album will feature 3 bonus tracks: "I Am as Earth" (from sold-out split with MOSS) and "Ash" & "White Lies", which were originally released on two CD-R compilations by Foreshadow Limited. The whole new album lasts nearly 80 minutes!

The 16th February will see the release of free Internet single containing one full track from "Corrasion", namely "Base Fluid" and an exclusive 20-minute masterpiece entitled "Numb", which will be available only on this single!

The second full-length CD album for Foreshadow will be out at the beginning of 2008.

NADJA has already released several albums in CD and LP format on such labels as Alien8 Recordings, Profound Lore Records or Conspiracy Records, just to name a few. They also played live, among others, with ISIS, KHANATE, FRANCISCO LOPEZ and KAYO DOT.

Belgian label Conspiracy Records will release a vinyl version of the up-coming JESU album entitled "Conqueror" (CD version on Hydra Head). The album in double LP format will be officially out on 27th of February and, as it was the case with ISIS's "In the Absence of Truth", it will be a limited edition. We alredy pre-ordered our copies from Conspiracy, so anybody who would like to be sure to get their own copy, please get in touch with us and pre-order it before it's too late!

Aural Music Group signed five new acts to its roster. Code666 Records aquired three new groups. The first of them is a French duo AMESOEURS, which is described as a mixture of black metal and cold rock, or in other words, somewhere between BURZUM and JOY DIVISION. Their debut full-length album, which is now being worked on, will be released in the second half of 2007. The second new act is futuristic electro metallers HERRSCHAFT. Code666 will take care of the distribution of their mini-album "Architect of the Humanicide", while the band will record their debut album, to be released towards the end of the year. CONTROL HUMAN DELETE is the third new face in Code666 Records and their debut full-length album "Terminal World Perspective" will be out in Spring.

Goregorecords, another label belonging to Aural Music Group, signed American death metal band THOLUS and will release their debut album "Constant". Dreamcell11 Recordings will release "Seed of Ancient Pain", a debut album from Italian dark gothic group VLAD IN TEARS.

Three labels belonging to Aural Music Group, which is officially distributed by Foreshadow, have planned four new releases for February. First of them is a brand-new full-length album from THEE MALDOROR KOLLECTIVE entitled "Pilot (Man with the Meat Machine)". As it was the case with the five previous albums, the new offering is full of inspiring sounds ranging from countless musical genres. Everything bathed in extreme music sauce. Code666 already posted a sample of "A Gasolin Hero" and a videoclip promoting the album on their MySpace page --> www.myspace.com/code666records.

The second release is a new album from dark gothic outfit DISMAL entitled "Miele del Salice". The most intense piece of music in their career, introduces a listenener into the state of limbo where nothing is true and everything is based on contradictions. A truly musical surprise!

Eibon Records, a part of Aural Music Group, prepared two fresh releases, the first of them being an album from SELAXON LUTBERG - "Cold House of Love". It's a perfect mixture of dark ambient and minimal post-rock, everything shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere. Just take a listen of one of the tracks from the album, namely Remember or forget?

The second offering from this Italian label is a debut full-length album from VANESSA VAN BASTEN, a true revelation on the heavy alternative music scene. "La Stanza di Swedenborg" should definitely appeal to the fans of such groups and artists as Jesu, Neurosis, Sunn O))), Lycia, Slowdive, but also Enio Morricone, Klaus Schulze or Badalamenti.

All of these fine albums should be available for ordering through our on-line shop before the end of January!

"We Deserve Much Worse", a third full-length album from Finnish extreme metallers DEATHBOUND will be released this month through Dynamic Arts Records. As the label affirms, this is the band's strongest album to date and the planned European tour with Napalm Death only proves this statement. The group used their own musical patents developed on the previous albums and together with the excellent sound production they prove that their genre is still one of the most powerful in the 21st century. The album will be comprised of 18 brutal tracks and the release itself will be presented in the format of digipack. Prepare yourselves for the mighty dose of grind death metal!

We already carry the debut full-length album from a new solo project by Duncan Patterson (ex-Anathema, ex-Antimatter) called ÍON. "Madre, Protegénos" can now be ordered through our on-line shop. Duncan embarks on the path of melancholic neo-classicism with the help of a number of prominent guest musicians. Don't miss this masterpiece of contemporary music!

Pre-orders for the up-coming ISIS "Live 3" double LP have just started! We are now offering it at a special pre-order price which is valid only till December, 4th. This is also the date on which all pre-ordered pieces will be shipped to their owners. Limited to only 750 copies (out of wich only 600 will be available on normal sale), this is the third part in the band's live series and features the show which was held in New Mexico in 2004. More details and on-line pre-ordering can be found here.

The American extreme band ASUNDER have just unleashed their newest offering of monumental proportions entitled "Works Will Come Undone". After highly praised previous releases (split with FLIES ON FLESH, full-length "A Clarion Call" and split with GRAVES AT SEA) the time has come for the most mature effort. The album features only two tracks, the first of them being "A Famine" lasting 22 minutes (and that's the shorter one) and the second clocks in more than 50 minutes! "Works Will Come Undone" re-defines extreme doom metal music and this sonic assault can be described as avantgarde, experimental death/funeral metal. One of the many assets of this work is the fact it was produced by legendary Billy Anderson (NEUROSIS, MELVINS, MR. BUNGLE, HIGH ON FIRE, etc.) and the band itself features musicians from THE GAULT, AMBER ASYLUM and DYSTOPIA to name just a few. More information, on-line ordering and an mp3 excerpt can be found in our on-line shop. Highly recommended!

In our on-line shop we already stock the debut full-length album from Finnish band ABLAZE IN HATRED entitled "Deceptive Awareness". This young band, which was formed in 2004, features experienced musicians from FALL OF THE LEAFE among others. The album is comprised of seven tracks, which will definitely appeal to those who appreciate SHAPE OF DESPAIR and SWALLOW THE SUN. Recommended!

The long-awaited full-length album from AMBER ASYLUM is in the final stages now. It will be the first studio album in seven years and will be entitled "Still Point". The album will be released on Profound Lore Records and will be obviously available in our on-line shop. The tentative release date has been to early Spring 2007. Some song titles include: "12 Months", "Black Phoebe", "Outer Dark" and "Loss Is The Sword".

Starting from today, we are selling the brand-new album from NEGURA BUNGET entitled "OM". Released in a luxury digipack format and featuring additional DVD disc, this album proves that NEGURA BUNGET is still one of the most important black metal bands in the world. The title is selling really fast and the first print is already sold out from the label, Code666 Records. We still have some copies from this first edition but they are already running low! Check it out here.

In approximately a month a new ISIS release will be out, namely "Live 3" on double vinyl (on Profound Lore Records). The release will be limited to only 750 copies worldwide and we at Foreshadow will be stocking it as the first mailorder in Europe! Due to the very limited edition, we will put a pre-order option for it at the beginning of November, so if you do not want to miss this album before it is quickly sold out, you'd better pre-order it. And the best way to do so is to subscribe to our newsletter - you will get an e-mail immediately after it is available for pre-order.

In other news, as it is commonly known, the brand-new studio full-length from ISIS - "In the Absence of Truth" is about to be officially released. We will of course stock it on CD format very soon, but there will also be a vinyl version of this masterpiece, which will be out arounf mid-November and which is already sold out as pre-orders from its label, Conspiracy Records. We managed to order some copies and will stock them in the second half of November. The LP will be released on a double vinyl and we will have a few black ones as well as two other colours. Stay tuned!
