NECROPHAGIST - "onset of putrefaction " [willowtip]
quite simply one of the greatest technical death metal albums ever. their debut album impossible to find for years. includes an all new mix/master, new drums, all new artwork and layout, and 2 bonus tracks from the 1995 demo which have...
Neuraxis - Truth | Imagery | Passage
yet another absolutely amazing band from montreal. this release is basically a complete discography of all Neuraxis material. includes their two full lengths Truth Beyond and the long out of print classic first full length Imagery as well as their mcd A...
i don't think some of you know what "hardcore yelling" is at all. man, the dual rune vocal performance i think is one of the best vocal performances ever. the crowpath vocals especially are so violent and brutal. i wasn't the biggest fan of capharnaum (same dude as trivium's) vocals are first...
i have to give big props to LISTENABLE as well..probably my personal favorite label right now. laurent puts out great stuff.. my god the TEXTURES cd is fucking amazing and i'm pissed i didn't discover that band, amazing cd. plus, IMMOLATION is perphaps my favorite DM band...can't wait for...
don't forget the CAPHARNAUM cd which is one one of the best tech/progressive death metal cd's in ages. i am years and years away from competing with relapse sales wise, but quality wise i think i am right there. we just don't have a band that has gotten HUGE with huge sales and hell Willowtip...
a full length should be no more than 35 min for the type of music i release. a full length is about QUALITY not quantity and more songs (i think few labels today realize this), especially for grindcore. no grindcore album should be over 30min. you won't see a grindcore/deathgrind, etc album...
the basics:
1. all discs are $10ppd or less north america (yes, canadians and mexicans pay the same price as americans) $12 worldwide
2. orders are shipped the same day they are received (seriously)
3. the SHITBOX- order 4 or more discs (USA and World) 7 or more discs (canada, mexico), and...
the band made the album exactly as they wanted and intended...how anyone could possibly think the demo productions are better is beyond me.
you'll realize this more as you listen the album, especially if you had the demos before. i know at first some of the old songs that i was used to...
i don't see how ANYONE could have problem with the production, but then again production is pure opinion. i'm really anal about production and so is arsis and both the band and myself were extremely happy with the end result.
a celebration of guilt is the best melodic death metal release in a...

capharnaum is one of the best technical/progressive death metal releases in years IMO. extremely technical, amazing unreal solos... insanely catchy, great production. best technical dm release since Necrophagist i think.
are now on the main page of the website. Arsis, Commit Suicide, Vulgar Pigeons, and Crowpath. check em out.

i don't think i could have put out any more varied releases as i did this year. every cd was a different genre within the metal realm (though some still tend to think its all grindcore).
i don't expect the normal metalhead to like anything on willowtip. this label is way too forward thinking for most, and most of the bands on this label are pushing metal as far as they can and are trying new things, and not just ripping off the exact sound of many bands. i just put out...
god, some people are so dumb its insane. i think some members of this forum have ears infected with AIDS.
next installment from cephalic will come out in 2004 some time, when they find time to write and record the next track.
thanks for the kind words about willowtip, its greatly appreciated.
i don't really think goatsblood is much like today is the day, maybe a tad bit though.
look for big things from willowtip in 2004...
commit suicide - synthetics
alarum - new full length
necrophagist - onset of putrefaction...
the new watchmaker cd kill.fucking.everyone. is now available for online ordering, $10 postage paid to anywhere in north america $12 worldwide. in stores oct. 14th.
