We have FIVE new releases for February, street date of the 10th, and while we could bombard you with separate updates for each we figured it would be easier on us all just to have one big one featuring Excruciator, Lovell's Blade, Terminus, Degradation and Suspiria.

Like their Portland brethren, Bewitcher, before them, Divebomb Records is honored to announce the signing of hard-hitting thrashers EXCRUCIATOR for the CD release of their latest and greatest album! Formed in 2008 as a reaction to the weak-minded trends and overdone "-core" music that had been infecting Portland at the time, EXCRUCIATOR's mission remains to revive the spirit and values of true heavy metal, long-since lost in the Pacific Northwest.

In the years that followed, the group would proceed to unleash a four-song demo, the By The Gates Of Flesh EP, and debut full-length Devouring. Released by Heavy Artillery/Earache Records in 2011, Devouring found EXCRUCIATOR labelmates with other modern day metal saviors such as Spellcaster, Vektor, and Volture, among many others. Furthermore, the band has shared the stage with everyone from thrash legends Exodus and Forbidden, to long-running death metal giants Malevolent Creation, to name but a few.

Lineup changes eventually sidelined EXCRUCIATOR during an extended hiatus, but the quartet regrouped in 2015 for a split EP with Toxic Witch, prior to entering the studio to track their long-awaited sophomore outing. Fighting For Evil was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Toxic Holocaust's Joel Grind at Falcon Recording Studios in Portland, OR. Featuring vibrantly violent cover artwork compliments of Matt Slime, Fighting For Evil dishes out eight new tracks of snarling, top-shelf thrash that's loaded with energy and attitude.

Behold! and bow down to the might of the power lords!

LOVELL'S BLADE formed when several members defected from long-running Dutch metal legends, Picture. Said members included LOVELL'S BLADE vocalist and namesake Pete Lovell, alongside guitarists Mike Ferguson and André Wullems. The trio then teamed up with bassist Patrick Velis and Noel van Eersel on drums to flesh out a powerful, well-equipped lineup for LOVELL'S BLADE.

Recorded and mixed by Serge Naberman at the prestigious Claim to Fame Sound Studio, the group's hard-hitting debut album, Stone Cold Steel, is a must-hear for diehard fans of classic heavy metal. Drawing inspiration from any number of traditional metal greats, Stone Cold Steel finds the quintet delivering an array of fist-pumping hooks with only the slightest hint of a modern touch-providing LOVELL'S BLADE with a sound that's as fresh and new as it is tried and true!

Hot on the heels of top-notch reissues from Pete Lovell's previous musical endeavors with Picture and Emergency, Divebomb Records is thrilled to provide a perfect home for Stone Cold Steel throughout North America this winter. And LOVELL'S BLADE is prepared to keep firing on all cylinders, premiering a new video and European live dates beginning in December, and with a South American tour through Open the Road Agency taking shape for the latter half of 2017.

Prepare to feel the Stone Cold Steel of LOVELL'S BLADE!

Born in Stockton, CA in 1990, TERMINUS spent a few years honing their uniquely dark and dissonant style of death metal before circulating a crude four-song demo, To Release the Unknown, to friends and fans alike in early-1993. The following year, in the autumn of 1994, the group entered Pus Cavern Recording with ex-Brutal Groove (and future Danzig) guitarist Joe Fraulob to track their lone full-length masterpiece, Creations.

Self-financed and eventually released on Stinkfist Records, Creations offered a refreshing blend of aggression and atmosphere through thick, chugging rhythms; unusual, semi-technical dissonance; and unexpected melodic twists-not to mention engaging lyrical themes that combined fact and fiction in an effort to "strike fear in the heart of the listener." TERMINUS remained active for several years-performing live and promoting the album-before ultimately returning to Pus Cavern in the winter of 1996 to flesh out a follow-up EP. Entitled Tomb of Infamy, said EP was to explore a more complex approach with nuanced undercurrents of dark, industrial influences. Sadly, it would never see the light of day!

20 years later, however, Divebomb Records will finally remedy this injustice with a deluxe edition of the never-before-released Tomb of Infamy EP-freshly mixed by Kenn Nardi from Anacrusis (an old friend and occasional bandmate of TERMINUS bassist Chris Speciale) and including the seven-song Creations full-length as a bonus. Mastered by Jamie King at The Basement Recording, the packaging includes all-new cover art by Steven R. Cobb, complete lyrics, archival photographs, and a retrospective interview covering the history of TERMINUS by NoEcho.net co-editor Andrew Aversionline. For the fans, by the fans!

DEGRADATION formed in 1992 amidst the same Florida scene that had spawned such greats as Deicide, Morbid Angel, Obituary, and countless others. That same year, the group laid down a raw, never-released demo with the help of Jon Oliva and Chris Caffery from the legendary Savatage, but it wasn't until January of 1993 that DEGRADATION would enter Anything Audio in Pinellas Park, FL to record their proper debut demo, Look Into the Sadness (which was re-released later that year with some additional leads from newfound second guitarist Jeremy Baird, a.k.a. Jer Storm).

A marketing machine, the band sold more than 2,500 copies of the demo and scored rave reviews from magazines and fanzines around the globe before entering the world-renowned Morrisound Recording to begin work on the Revelation in Blood EP with Tom and Jim Morris. Originally released in 1994, Revelation in Blood was packed with technical, death-tinged thrash reminiscent of Sadus meets Forced Entry-self-described by DEGRADATION's own Dana Walsh as "very dark, very progressive, very technical speed metal with a little more of a groove-based attack to the songwriting."

Unfortunately, shortly after the EP's release, DEGRADATION began to fall apart, suffering frequent lineup changes before Walsh-the original founding member-decided to put the group to rest upon receiving an offer to join up with fellow Tampa residents Brutality for their third full-length, In Mourning. But Revelation in Blood remains an incredibly rare unsung classic from Morrisound's heyday-at times fetching more than $100 on CD-so now, more than 20 years later, Divebomb Records is proud to shed new light on DEGRADATION's complete discography with this brand new reissue. Fully remastered by Jamie King at The Basement Recording, the packaging includes updated cover art by Steven Cobb, complete lyrics, loads of archival flyers and photos, and a retrospective interview with Dana Walsh conducted by NoEcho.net co-editor Andrew Aversionline. For the fans, by the fans!

SUSPIRIA got its start as a trio by the name of Corporeal Decay in Crystal Lake, IL in January of 1991. Building upon a melting pot of influences centered around '80s metal, Bay Area and German thrash, and early death metal, within five months the group had released a three-song demo titled Divinely Impaled. Mere months later, the demo was re-released with new artwork, a new logo, and a new band name: SUSPIRIA.

By the end of the following summer in 1992, SUSPIRIA had solidified a five-piece lineup and entered Real to Reel Recording Studio with engineer Bruce Pedersen for their sophomore demo, Psychological Inertia. Eventually released in February of 1993, the extremely professional-looking four-song cassette further improved upon the group's brutal yet sophisticated take on technical death metal, but a period of relative inactivity saw the band perform its final show that July, eventually fading into obscurity by early-1994.

Like fellow Illinois powerhouse Sindrome before them, SUSPIRIA had made an impact on the local scene with their impressive musicianship, but failed to secure a proper recording contract-leaving many fans and friends to simply ponder what could have been. So now, more than two decades after the fact, Divebomb Records is excited to present Psychologically Impaled: SUSPIRIA's complete discography, along with seven bonus live tracks! Fully remastered by Jamie King at The Basement Recording, this release provides the material with the attention it has always rightfully deserved-with plenty of lyrics, photographs, and a retrospective band interview conducted by NoEcho.net co-editor Andrew Aversionline.
