NUNSLAUGHTER - Hell On Holland

AKR022 7" EP - Release Date: April 2008

This is a new addition to the live "HELL ON..." series of Nunslaughter 7"s. Hand numbered in pocket sleeves and limited to 500 copies just like all the rest in the series. ONLY essential if you just happen to be a die hard Nunslaughter maniac who would pay $100 to own this and complete your Nunslaughter vinyl collection!

MARBLEBOG - Forestheart LP

AKR017 LP - Release Date: November 2007

Originally released in 2005 on simple tape only format (later to be re-released on tape again!), Marblebog's conceptual blend of anything but jovial ambient passages and deeply personal as well as mature, nature and global depopulation inspired black metal eventually bled it's way onto a super limited CD pressing. All of which made their rounds across the world to end up in the collections of the most die hard and adventurous music lovers and underground black metal fanatics. When we first heard "Forestheart" here at AKR our first thought was to immediately get this album on vinyl...and we wanted to be the one's to do it! Taking it a step further, we contacted Marblebog's sole creator and musician: Vorgrov, and set up a deal to finally make this album available on not just vinyl but a CD format that will be available to a much wider audience for the first time. We re-worked the entire layout so that the only thing that resembles the original pressing is the cover art which is as it should be in our opinion. The long awaited (by us mostly) vinyl LP version is limited to 500 copies on clear vinyl, containing a full color 2 sided insert and this vinyl will never be re-pressed as with all AKR vinyl releases. Out now!

Torch Of War - The Principle Of Cosmic Instability

AKR019 CD - Release Date: October 17th 2007

Furious German black metal sitting atop the throne of scathing, uncaring & unabashedly cold records of this genre. Every single track a gem on it's own and every riff completing the circle started by Darkthrone with Transilvanian Hunger. A record made by Torch Of War for Torch Of War...this beast left in tow for your ritual worship. Out now!

ENSEPULCHRED - Suicide In Winter's Moonlight

AKR020 CD - Release Date: Halloween 2007

USA's best kept secret in the torrid underbelly of the black metal world rapidly return with a new release! Originally released in an extremely limited run of hand numbered cd-rs in slimline dvd cases in 2006, we here at Autopsy Kitchen are so into this album that we couldn't let it go unnoticed. This final and definitive version also includes a completely re-designed layout with a few newly recorded tracks not on the original version. "Suicide In Winter's Moonlight" is 16 miserable tracks of lugubrious, woebegone black fire. Out now!

ENSEPULCHRED - The Night Our Rituals Blackened The Stars

AKR015 CD 2006 - Release Date: Halloween 2006

Perhaps some of the most melancholy and off the wall black metal we've heard around here in a while...this band originally assaulted us under the moniker The Blood of Transylvania with a handful of lengthy CD-R recordings to which we instantly took a liking to. We also got to thinking how this ghastly trio perfectly encapsulates that autumnal vibe and therefore we have unleashed the Ensepulchred debut on Halloween 2006. Most notable of Ensepulchred influences would have to be early Manes though had Emperor had Xasthur as an influence back in the mid 90’s Ensepulchred would likely be the outcome.

STALAGGH :Projekt Misanthropia:

AKR016 Digi CD - Release Date: March 2007

Amid the agonizing wails and livid atmosphere that exist as the core of Stalaggh's sound; Stalaggh's final masterwerk :Projekt Misanthropia: can certainly be called a progression from the earlier and already realized Stalaggh material....for the nonbelievers it will all start to make sense about 5 minutes into this hopelessly pessimistic journey. Stalaggh finally begin to utilize traditional instruments into their "recipe" and one can decipher from such inflection points less than harmonious guitar that certainly does nothing to bowdlerize the formula Stalaggh have commanded forth. Also in tow follow an array of conjured instruments/sounds atop the maniacal headspace that one MUST be in to simply be Stalaggh. :Projekt Misanthropia: is THE Stalaggh statement. The newly discovered overtones make even larger the undertones of previous Stalaggh statements. This is a fitting funeral for life itself. Gone completely wrong yet having never promised any certain outcome. Just like life. Limited 1st edition of 1,000 hand numbered digi pak CDs.

STALAGGH - :Nihilistik Terrror:

AKR009 CD - Release date: March 2006

Autopsy Kitchen Records are proud to unleash the first domestic pressing from terrror kult :Stalaggh: This release combines both of their previous efforts of audio chicanery :Projekt Terrror: and :Projekt Nihil: together on one CD with an entirely new sound. The band updated and re-mastered the sound (done by Xardas of 20.SV) as well as recorded a brand new track available here only! Sickening sounds from the audio abyss...

Ensepulchred - The Night Our Rituals Blackened The Stars PICTURE LP

AKR015-PIC LP - COMING 2008

FUNEREAL MOON - Satan's Beauty Obscenity

AKR021 CD Release Date: - 2008

Autopsy Kitchen Records proudly announces our new signing/collaboration with Mexico's ambient/occult/black metal project Funereal Moon! Funereal Moon have been creating Satanic audio blasphemies in this world since 1993 with the debut release of their "Prayers Of The Crystal Tablet Of Beli" demo cassette. They have had a unique approach to the dark arts from their very inception and it has only grown phenomenally over the decade since. We first became familiar with Funereal Moon's mysterious presence with their 1997 vinyl only release "Grim...Evil...". Soon after that release the band all but disappeared from this planet with only 2 very limited "commemorative/best of" CDs containing a scattering of new tracks being released in a span of almost a decade! Funereal Moon eventually returned from absolute obscurity however and began recording full time once again much to our own pleasure. We decided to approach the band about doing a re-release of "Grim...Evil" on CD format and in the end we got much more than we bargained for...Funereal Moon have made Autopsy Kitchen their new home for all obsessive intents and Satanic purpose in life...The first collaboration is fully recorded and will consist of a re-release of the tracks from the previously mentioned "Grim...Evil..." LP as well as the first new Funereal Moon recordings in years: "Satan's Beauty Obscenity". Following this release, the aptly titled brand new full length recording "Bringer Of Evil" will also materialize to assist in your pain and pleasure as Funereal Moon have done for us all these years.

MARBLEBOG - Csendhajnal

AKR023 CD/LP - COMING 2008

If Marblebog's sophomore effort "Forestheart" was an engaging and morose disposition on the essence of earth and what still binds it (not us) then certainly Marblebog's debut album from one year previous: "Csendhajnal" (translated: Silencedawn) is every bit as much and even much more the defining statement of this amazing Hungarian band. Hands down the best black metal album to ever come from inside this ethnic heartland and probably more genius than so many more. Founding member/sole creator Vorgrov would certainly attest to this as Csendhajnal grimly expresses everything within the realm of black metal he wishes to expose/compose whilst also combining his possibly even more inspired love of ambient music which he solely focused on with the later tape only release "Wind Of Moors".

Csendhajnal comes as close to authentically reproducing the brilliant and almost maddeningly depressing yet proud vibe of Burzum's "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" and "Filosofem" albums as any we have personally ever heard within just the first 3 tracks of this album. That...is really saying something.

Autopsy Kitchen proudly announces the release of this soon to be classic record on re-released CD format with new layout and vinyl LP format. The vinyl being limited to 500 copies on translucent grey vinyl with a full color printed inner sleeve. Coming soon!

MURMUR - Mainlining The Lugubrious

AKR024 CD - COMING 2008

It is perhaps common to wonder under which circumstance a tra·che·ae sufferance or palpitation equaling cessation of heartbeat sometimes described as a murmur would inflict most retentive mental anguish on those around to witness it. To contest one's own murmur is obvious folly yet contest it one always does in the struggle to grasp for whatever diminutive slice of life's essence might still be obtainable to them. That eventual quietus from living and subsequent final murmur providing a basis for concept from USA's Murmur. Odd fascinations and morbid curiosities concerning "depression, nihilism, suicide, ritual and substance abuse" to quote the band are given somewhat wide berth on their debut album Mainlining The Lugubrious. An album that by some cosmic happenstance almost seems to have been made for Autopsy Kitchen Records and just as well now sits perhaps too comfortably among the AKR roster providing yet another example of life gone horribly but not inexplicably wrong.

THOU - Peasant

AKR025 CD - COMING 2008

Every now and again the rare occasion arises that you come across a record clearly created by fanatics that simply can't help but stand apart from the crowd. Fanatics that have deep roots in nothing else but bashing out the most grim yet beautiful sounding doom.. doom isn't the genre here, doom is the atmosphere.
Eyes peer beyond shadows and blood flows beneath footprints. The world is not as vast as the mind. Reality suffers the consequence and we are it's slaves.
"Peasant" is Thou's 2nd full length after their debut LP "Tyrant" and both LPs were summoned in their hometown of Baton Rouge, LA which many here in the states consider the home state of that true soulful doom vibe somewhat akin to Motown via Detroit. Unlike many bands of the ilk, Thou doesn't just simply plow over you with riff after unbearably crushing riff over the duration of the album but choose to riff over your soul track by track with more venom per ounce than is likely healthy by any standard. Needless pain and suffering are all around you, Thou are not the answer... they are the alternative. No true pleasure can ever be experienced without a healthy dose of pain. Look no further.

Marblebog / Vorkuta

AKR026 "Wanderings" split 7" EP - COMING 2008

This little number crawled up out of nowhere right before the new year and just recently we were presented with a completed layout and the whole package. That makes this release the first NEW release announcement of 2008! We have more coming to be sure but this is certainly a good note to start on. Anyone with an ear to the underground or just good taste in what it has to offer are surely familiar with Hungary's Marblebog, and recently riding that same cold, deep and despairingly black wave are countrymen Vorkuta. Paragon Records (US) just gave them props with a full length in 07 and Vorkuta are certainly not taking a break anytime soon. Members of both Marblebog and Vorkuta have long ties with eachother and THAT makes this split a bit more relevant than most. Black metal in 2008 may just not get better than this as the now defunct Marblebog Myspace page hinted a few months back with a preview of new Marblebog material. It has been scheduled by AKR, so let it be done.

Sempervirens

AKR027 "Neverending Winter" CD - COMING 2008

Estonia's Sempervirens has been recording since 2004 but to very little critical acclaim most likely due to the fact that there has never been any proper distribution for the handful of self released works over the years. Not to say that there was never any word on the street proclaiming Sempervirens as a wonderful listen for the truly dedicated experimental music seeker out there...as this is of course how this collaboration between Autopsy Kitchen and Sempervirens came to be. Sempervirens creative force known simply as M. Wolfe doesn't seem like the kind of person to seek attention and or praise and certainly isn't your garden variety promo soliciting pr guy but this is often the most rewarding partnership in the end. Sempervirens back catalog consists of 6 full length recordings and we decided to start with 2007's "Neverending Winter" as the proper introduction to the band's own style of foggy black ambiance. A unique blend of layered atmosphere via black metal and often bleary overtones of unfettered personal visions and dreams....all creating a perfect and crystalline brilliance in concept. "Neverending Winter" will mark the first professionally manufactured Sempervirens' catalog entry and we hope to follow with more in the future.

FUNEREAL MOON - Bringer Of Evil

AKR028 CD - COMING 2008

It is unfortunate that only a handful of people here in the USA are familiar with THE absolute most creative and nightmarish ambient/black/noise project to ever make it's home in Mexico and even fewer still know enough to simply nod in reverence when the name Funereal Moon is mentioned. In existence since 1993, Funereal Moon have finally found a proper home here at Autopsy Kitchen where their creations are truly understood. "Bringer Of Evil" marks Funereal Moon's first full length recording since 1996 and only their 2nd recording consisting of new material in over a decade! Not only has the band progressed technically to torment us all with pure audio lacerations track after track but they have seemingly let insanity bleed into each and every recording with little care for reality and what can be conceived as normal by any genre standards. Not only has Funereal Moon found a perfect home here at AKR to finally give them the proper presentation and fanbase they deserve but we have also found the perfect project in Funereal Moon to further unleash only the most experimental, menacing and relevant sounds that a record label can ever hope to unleash upon the world.
