PERSONAL RECORDS is proud to present INFERNAL THORNS' highly anticipated third album, Christus Venari, on CD format.

The Death and Life of the Great Lakes by Lucius Fox (Independent)
https://luciusfox.bandcamp.com/album/the-death-and-life-of-the-great-lakes
The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is a 45 minute study of the Great Lakes region, loss, and community. The core of the work is a five song suite that sonically emulates each of the Great Lakes, and it is bookended with two pieces that reflect on the loss of my mother during the summer of 2024. It is a dynamic, melodic, abrasive, and massive piece of music and functions best when digested in its entirety. In recording this album we aimed to capture the intensity and feel of our live performances and are confident that we achieved just that. There are a lot of blast beats and a lot of riffs packed into this beast.

Mercator by HERUVIM (Redefining Darkness Records)
https://heruvim.bandcamp.com/album/mercator
Heruvim are not just a band -- they are a family. They are united by their love for death metal and the heavy music they create, despite the chaos they currently face.
While writing Mercator, half of the band were abroad, and the other half remained in Odesa, Ukraine. The recording process wasn't easy. Many studios shut down and with the ongoing war traveling to record was dangerous. Bombings, shrapnel and forced conscription were constant threats.

Innern by Der Weg einer Freiheit (Season of Mist)
https://derwegeinerfreiheit.bandcamp.com/album/innern
With Innern, their sixth studio album, DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT return with their most introspective and compositionally expansive work to date. A meditation on suffering, transformation, and the fragile thresholds of the human psyche, Innern refines the band’s signature blend of black metal intensity and post-metal atmosphere. The title, German for “inward”, anchors the album’s conceptual weight: a turning away from the external, into a realm of personal reckoning, silence, and renewal. Across six meticulously crafted tracks, the band explores cycles of disintegration and emergence, inviting listeners to confront the deep and often contradictory nature of existence itself.
Innern comes out September 12th on Season of Mist.

Dark Abstraction by Ectovoid (Boris Records)
https://ectovoid.bandcamp.com/album/dark-abstraction
Ten years after its initial release and in honored celebration of the band’s fifteenth anniversary of existence, Boris Records is proud to unveil the exclusive vinyl reissue of Ectovoid’s long out of print sophomore full-length album, Dark Abstraction. Slated for a September 12 release, the limited reissue will come in two versions – plain black and marbled purple.

How I Fell In Love With The Void by Intercourse (Brutal Panda Records)
https://intercourse.bandcamp.com/album/how-i-fell-in-love-with-the-void
Connecticut’s self-deprecating noise rock entity INTERCOURSE are set to deliver their crushing new full-length, How I Fell In Love With The Void, on September 12th via Brutal Panda Records.
