***PAPSMEAR UPDATE*** Due to some artwork issues that have now been resolved, the Papsmear release will be delayed approximately 2 weeks. We are in contact with the pressing plant and will post any further news as soon as we get it. As a result of this, we are extending the PREORDER sale until the release is in-house and ready to ship. As soon as that happens, the regular price will apply. We apologize for the delay for those who have been waiting, and encourage any maniacs who have been thinking of preordering and "didn't get around to it" to do it now! It will not be long before this is unleashed...

Word is finally back from the pressing plant on a ship date for the DECEASED "Inject the Ugliness" 7". The latest is in, and we should be receiving this slab of death and ugliness on Friday July 13th. Hmmm, a good sign? Not for the weak of heart, as this will be a sickening and wretched assault on decency and benevolence! T-shirts will follow soon and these items will start shipping immediately when we receive them. All pre-orders will take precedence, thank you to all who have pre-ordered and waited so patiently for this! The end will be unleashed!

Release for the DECEASED... "Inject the Ugliness" 7" is set for mid/late-April! Preorders are now being taken for the following items:

Inject the Ugliness green splatter vinyl 7"......$6.00

The materials have been sent to the pressing plant for this piece of true Metal vinyl! 4 tracks in all, 2 live and 2 studio tracks, paying tribute the the old masters! This will be pressed in 500 copies total, with a limited quantity on green splatter vinyl! This will be a special release that will go quickly! Pre-orders will be taken as soon as we receive an approximate date of completion by the pressing plant. Possible t-shirts too! More details about that soon!

Thanks to all who have supported the release of PESTILENCE "Chronicles of the Scourge". It is a very special release for us, and we hope you all enjoy it! From this point on, the rehearsal disc will no longer be distributed with the sale of the CD. "Why" you ask? Simple, they're gone! We will not be repressing these again. Outstanding orders for the CD and bonus disc will be honored so if you have an order in house for these, don't worry. You will be receiving both discs. We have also dropped the price of the PESTILENCE "Chronicles of the Scourge" CD for new orders not including the rehearsal disc. Thanks again for your support! -The MWP staff

No bootleg here, this killer release has been made possible with full permission and cooperation of Martin Van Drunen himself! He has been working with us on this idea from its ghastly conception to the grotesque reality it has become. Metal War extends tankloads of respect and gratitude to him for that! click here for more info

PESTILENCE "Chronicles of the Scourge" live CD is in production! This timeless piece of Metal history is at the pressing plant and will be unleashed in the coming weeks. Two classic live shows from '88 and '89, plus a bonus unreleased track. Yeah that's right, a bonus unreleased track!!! Want more? OK, Metal War Productions mailorder customers receive a bonus rehearsal disc with their order! This offer is strictly limited to those maniacs who order directly through Metal War Productions mailorder only! Subordinate to the Domination...

DECEASED 7 inch in the works! We are piecing together the layout for the DECEASED "Inject the Ugliness" 7" (as a maniacal fiend would create a life from the remains of stolen corpses) to be released before the summer's end! This will be a split release between Metal War Productions and Diabolist Records limited to a presently unspecified amount. More info on this as it develops (like a flesh eating infection)...

LAMENT has gone through some major changes in the past few months. They now have a decidedly new and different sound being more geared towards a technical black/death metal sound as opposed to the traditional thrash sound they had before. So, with so many changes they have also changed their name as well. They now go by the name ANNUNAKI. From the band: ANNUNAKI "Brutal, Technical, Blackened Death Metal." ANNUNAKI (an new 'knock ee) - New brutal death metal from the members of Lament (Guitarist John Blicharz, ex-Blood Feast drummer Kevin Kuzma, and bassist Karl Odenwalder) with new singer (Tony Stanziano). The new no-boundries, heavier, and more brutal/technical sound gave the band a new identity, and therefore a name change was necessary. This, of course, raised some concerns with releasing the LAMENT debut CD. After talking with the band it was decided that since the release would be a low priority for them and for us it would not make sense to release a debut from a non-existent band we will not be releasing the LAMENT material. Best of luck to the remaining members and ANNUNAKI, you can count on Metal War's support!

Out now! Poland's new lords of chaotic Death Metal and Chicago's horde of axe weilding maniacs spew forth 2 tracks each of raw and deadly underground violence!

All materials for the LAMENT "Death of Innocence" CD are here and barring any unforseen delays pressing for this modern thrash metal classic should commence in March! A more specific release date should arise in the coming weeks, but for now we are planning on a late March release. Any news will be posted as it comes, so keep checking back for updates...

Coming soon to the distro; PENTACLE "Archaic Undead Fury 10", Abscess "Damned and Mummified" LP, three S.D.I. titles; "Satan's Defloration Incorporated", "Sign of the Wicked" and "Mistreated" (classic must-have releases, German thrash with hints of hardcore and punk influences!) and four DARKNESS titles; "Death Squad", "Defenders of Justice", "Conclusion in Revival", and "Live 1987"!!! These are limited in quantity, so email for availability, or reserve a copy in advance!
