RISE AND FALL TO RELEASE 'INTO OBLIVION' WITH REFLECTIONS RECORDS
We're extremely proud to announce the release of RISE AND FALL's new album “Into Oblivion”. RISE AND FALL's second album has been recorded at CCR Studios in Zulte, Belgium and it will be mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at the God City Studios in the USA. RISE AND FALL's sound can most simply be described as PUNKMETAL. It's raw hard and eager with a lot of heart. A combination of Clevo and New York hardcore (Ringworm, Integrity, Cro-Mags, Leeway) and their love for bands like Black Sabbath, Entombed, Motorhead, Discharge and Celtic Frost. We heard some pre-production recordings and we can proudly say that “Into Oblivion” will be one of the hardest, meanest and dirtiest hardcore albums ever to be released in Europe ! The record will be released this coming November.Get into PUNKMETAL and go see them on their “Death to false Punkmetal Tour” all over Europe this summer!

DOOMRIDERS – BLACK THUNDER CD OUT NOW!
A stellar lineup featuring Nate Newton (Converge, Old Man Gloom), along with longtime friends Jebb Riley (There Were Wires, Disappearer), Chris Pupecki (Cast Iron Hike), and Chris Bevalaqua (Hallraker) form DOOMRIDERS. The demon child of their collective unhealthy obsession with Classic Rock, Hardcore, and Skateboarding, DOOMRIDERS are a rare beast in today's music world. Their soulful no frills approach conjures the spirits of Thin Lizzy, Entombed, Motörhead and damn near every evil in between. Making DOOMRIDERS approach one hell of a rebellious and exciting musical ride.

Or, to maybe be more precise, in Nate Newton's own words: “Formed in the polar caverns of Antarctica , Doomriders have honed their genius into a pure and concentrated laser that can shoot right out of their eyes. As their radioactive mental waves melt off your hair and skin, you will know the true power and prowess these otherworldly beings possess. They can also piss tidal waves out of their dicks. DOOMRIDERS......The greatest band in the history of the world, ever to exist.”

The debut album “Black Thunder” will be released worldwide August 9.
Listen to a brand new and free MP3 for the song “Black Thunder”.

Go pick it up at your local record-store (URGE them to order it if they haven't already!) or visit the Reflections Records online store to order the album directly from us. The first 100 orders receive a giant poster from the amazing cover art for free!

DEAD HEARTS – NO LOVE, NO HOPE. MCD. OUT NOW!
Dead Hearts play hardcore with conviction: pushing the genre forward, yet still embodying the passion and urgency that defines its true spirit. “No Love, No Hope” is an unprecedented hardcore record. This highly anticipated follow-up to their self -titled CDep finds the band with darker concepts forged from regret, loss and most of all, hope. Introspection and self realization drive these 7 songs so anthemic, that the listener would believe that Buffalo could be anywhere! There will be a limited one-time pressing on 12” as well, later in September. Go pick this up at your local record store (available August 9!)or urge them to order it for you, or, make it easy on yourself and pick it up directly at the Reflections online-store or from all the great online-mailorders worldwide!

A brandnew and free MP3 for the song Bright Lights, Burnt City' is up now!
Visit the band's official site at www.deadhearts.net

NO TURNING BACK – RISE FROM THE ASHES. MCD
One of Hollands most succesful and hardest working bands releases the follow up to their last album “Damage Done” on Reflections Records this summer! The band recorded 6 new songs which will be released as a brandnew MCD. Additionally we'll add 3 songs from their sold out split with The Deal as a bonus. No Turning Back dug even deeper in the search for their definition of true hardcore and these new songs sound harder, meaner and more aggressive then ever before! No Turning Back never made any concessions to anyone and it shows. This is pure, uncompromising and pissed off hardcore! The bnd just returned form a very succesfull US tour and is about to get in their van again for a European tour with Rejuvenate. Pick up their brandnew record “Rise From The Ashes” now!

A brandnew and free MP3 for the song ‘Sick World ' is up now!

MODERN LIFE IS WAR – WITNESS Limited Color LP
This is the limited vinyl pressing of MODERN LIFE IS WAR's album “Witness”. Just as the CD the graphic design is handled by J. Bannon (Converge) with the difference that the dustsleeve has a large collection of Modern Life Is War European Tour 2005 photos. Only 500 copies are made. 250 copies on grey/black splattered vinyl and 250 on clear/black splattered vinyl. Be fast, this is a one-time pressing, it's selling fast and due to high demand it probably can't be find in many stores / mailorders elsewhere!

Our good friends at Lifeline records will be releasing the vinyl in the USA as well. We'd say, collect them all! Check www.lifelinerecords.net

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
“In stories about their live-shows words like ‘tears' and people being ‘deeply moved' are being used. Quite remarkable for a hardcore punkband. Understandable when you hear “Witness”. Modern Life Is War doesn't care about certain ‘genre-codes' either. Some songs lack a final eruption, while others are not being build up as expected. The most catchy song D.E.A.D.R.A.M.O.N.E.S. has the potention of a true classic. Modern Life Is War is that kick in the ass hardcore needs! –Leon Verdonschot / Nieuwe Revu ( Hollands ‘Entertainment Weekly'-magazine)

A free MP3 for the song “D.E.A.D.R.A.M.O.N.E.S” is up now! Look for the album in stores now!

OMISSION – REFUSE REGRESS CD
With their unique ability to fuse the explosive aspects of hardcore with catchy riffs OMISSION played the Netherlands extensively and gained quite some exposure to a wide audience. The rock solid connection of full-on mayhem and melody took a step further and is gonna be captured on their debut album entitled “Refuse Regress”. This product of a young band reflects their own strong identity they carved out by hard-hitting songs and relevant lyrical content, a symbiosis of uplifting sounds and heart-consuming despair. The Suicide File, The Bronx , Modern Life Is War and The Hope Conspiracy.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
”The formula for explosive rock with captivating lyricism, breaking the niche genre molds to offer an album of melodic chaos at its finest.” – BUZZ REPORT ( usa ) “Catchy, intense hardcore with solid rock and roll grooves. There's a touch of Black Flag, Bad Religion and the Bronx in anthemic tracks like "Walk the Walk" and the pounding title track” - STATUS ( usa ) ”You can't help it. As soon as you start playing ‘Refuse Regress' you'll be grabbed by the throat by the amazing guitar work. Absolutely essential when you like rocking hardcore.” - ROCKTRIBUNE (bel)

We have a free MP3 for the song “Bled With You” up now!
Visit the band's official site at www.thisisomission.net

BLACKLISTED - WE'RE UNSTOPPABLE CD
A collection of sorts for BLACKLISTED, but also serves as an introduction to those who missed the train the first time. "We're Unstoppable" features their highly praised "Our Youth Is Wasted" recordings (originally released by Stillborn Records, now out of print) as well as their hard to find demo recordings, together in one quality CD collection. Released by Deathwish outside Europe . Available now!

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
“If you've memorized every single element to GIVE UP THE GHOST's Background Music but are aching for another band hitting the same terrain in almost perfect fashion, then BLACKLISTED's We're Unstoppable surely will not disappoint.” - PASTEPUNK.COM “I'm not exaggerating with saying Blacklisted have everything to become one of hardcore's torchbearers” -TAKE THE RISK “With their honest and personal lyrics combined with their powerful music Blacklisted shows how hardcore is supposed to be played. Ten songs in barely 18 minutes will get you back on track (only if necessary, of course). I am very impressed by this band.” - ASICE.NET

PSYOPUS – IDEAS OF REFERENCE CD
Heart attack-inducing, grinding metal, that conjures up whirlwinds and tidal waves of absurd guitar work, harsh vocal onslaughts and hypersonic rhythm bombardment that takes the term ‘tech' to an entirely new level. Crushing and outlandish yet perfectly concise, PSYOPUS gives us a glimpse into the calamity and anguish of a tortured psyche. Just when you thought THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN or DAUGHTERS was where things couldn't get more crazy, PSYOPUS proves you wrong! Get it now!

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
“Put Steve Vai and Zappa's Mother Of Invention on 78rpm, add a good dose of grindmetal and you'll end up with the genre Reflections Records is reknown for lately. Brutal shit! Especially watch the insanely fast guitarsolos. – AARDSCHOK magazine NL “Psyopus is the most extreme metalband on earth!” OOR magazine “ A rollercoaster-ride that halfway a looping flies out its tracks and after a triple somersault in the air runs into the twister and takes everything down into the depths. This is what makes people sick. This is what makes doctors rich! Does the word “mile-stone' mean anything to you? This album can be considered one! The most extreme and most technical mathcore album ever! Lords Of Metal E-zine
