Aktarum – Trollvengers – CD
Aktarum are a 5-pieced combo from Belgium. The band distinguished itself with their “Troll Metal”sounds and stories, combining heavy loud riffing with epic melodies. Lyrically, these 5 trolls spread the tales and stories of the village of Aktarum, sharing their will of partying with everyone. After releasing different albums and EP’s: “Gang of Trolls” (2009) and “Ragnatroll” (2018) and sharing stages with worldwide recognized names in the scene such as Eluveitie, Korpiklaani, Equilibrium or Heidevolk, among others, Aktarum are ready ...
Grave Noise – Roots Of Damnation – CD
This 4-pieced combo was formed back in 2013 including members from the cities Burgos & Soria. While their sound combines the influences of the most raw Thrash Metal with modern and powerful sounds of the new generation of the Metal scene, based on international standards, these metalheads aim to create new anthems for the future of the genre. The new material of the band consists in an evolution of their sound, taking all band members’ skills several steps beyond. The ...
Extol – Synergy (Gold Disc With Collector Card) – CD
Another masterpiece from Extol. One of the most unique, underrated and talented metal bands ever.Christian or otherwise. The follow up to their super dark and heavy Undeceived album took a verydifferent direction. More tech death and thrash inspired. They took quite a bit of influence from Believer on this album, but it definitely sounds like its own thing. Ole Borud sounds like no other guitarist and you won’t find ANY metal album that sounds like this. Fans of prog and ...
Sleeping Giant – Finished People – CD
Musically, at Bombworks Records we can’t think of a better genre to relay this kind of God-desperatemessage than the blood-thirsty hardcore that Sleeping Giant dishes out. The original punk/hardcore spirit comes out in waves. They intend to pummel listeners with real zeal, real messages, crying out against upside down systems and broken standards. They scream and play with bravery, and unabashed honesty to a crowd that they really care about. In past albums, we have heard a standard fare of ...
Sleeping Giant – Kingdom Days In An Evil Age – CD
Sleeping Giant hit gold in 2011 with Kingdom Days in an Evil Age, their third album of top-shelf Christian metalcore. One of the best things about Kingdom Days is the band’s fusion of California metalcore with the swagger of Southern groove metal: when they move into the standard hardcore breakdown, they do it with the sluggish, pounding attitude of Pantera. Tommy Green brings his usual macho, sermonizing yells, while the rest of the group hold everything together beneath the album’s ...
Nevermore – Dreaming Neon Black (Gold Disc) – CD
If you have followed Nevermore, you will know this album is as dark as a desert blackout. Dreaming Neon Black, originally released in 1999, is essential metal on several levels. This is the first Nevermore album to consistently feature the technical metal sound the band became prominently known for. Secondly, the band added former Forbidden guitarist Tim Calvert to the line-up, giving the band even more edge and guitar harmony possibilities. Jeff Loomis certainly proves he can wield a wicked ...
Nevermore – Enemies Of Reality (Gold Disc) – CD
The 2003 collection of metal madness from the rulers of modern progressive thrash Nevermore continues the trend of brutal yet melodic chaos started on Dead Heart in a Dead World back in 2000. This band was always super-heavy, but in the last few releases offered an intelligent sense of atmosphere and melody that started seeping into the music, and the nine tracks on Enemies of Reality shows the band maturing as songwriters, throwing in tons of brutally heavy riffs, complex ...
Nevermore – This Godless Endeavor (Gold Disc) – CD
One listen to the 2005 magnum opus, This Godless Endeavor and you’ll discover the classic NEVERMORE dark melodies are everywhere. “Final Product,” “Born,” “Bittersweet Feast,” and “Medicated Nation” overflow with vintage NEVERMORE songwriting, all conveying that unexplainable feeling of sorrow, even despondency, characteristic of an album like Dreaming Neon Black. Spin this one a few times and you’ll be hooked, no question about it. Seattle’s Nevermore continue to prove that it is one of the best bands from the United ...
Barren Cross – State Of Control – CD
Remember those metal cassettes in your collection that had the song titles worn off, and even if youweren’t religious you prayed that it would play just one more time for fear it would wear out? 1989’s State of Control by Barren Cross was that cassette in many-a-metal fan’s collection. Along with Stryper and Guardian, Barren Cross was one of the few bands that actually appealed to metal fans who didn’t shop in Christian bookstores for their music. With the band’s ...

Saint – Broad Is The Gate (Metal Icon Series) – CD
Originally released in 2014, we at Retroactive were resistant to any new Saint vocalist. Boy, was that a mistake. Brian Phyll Miller is elite in every way, and he continues the high standard of excellence fans have come to expect of Saint. The album also serves as Jerry Johnson’s coming out party for guitar heroics. We knew he had it in him, but Broad is the Gate establishes Jerry as one of the best! It’s all held together by the ...
Saint – Desperate Night (Metal Icon Series) – CD
Originally released in 2012, this is the first time ever to see this classic packaged in a jewel case.Featuring classic Saint vocalist, Josh Kramer on vocals on 8 tracks, Richard Lynch (2 tracks), and Broadis the Gate (2014) vocalist, Brian Phyll Miller (1 track). Josh and the gang just keep bringing it. The drums are faster than ever, the bass is amazing, Josh Kramer never fails to impress with his song writing ability and we swear that God him/herself is ...
Saint – Hell Blade (Metal Icon Series) – CD
A powerful storm took place in 2010 and at the center of that storm was the album from Oregonheadbangers, Saint. Hell Blade (the band’s 8th studio album) hits the stage with all guns blazing andready to take no prisoners.
