Cruz Del Sur Music and Sarlacc Productions are proud to announce their first shared release:

VISIGOTH “Final Spell” MLP

VISIGOTH is a young US band formed in 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Claiming influences from Dio, Omen, Twisted Tower Dire and Atlantean Kodex, they have raised quite an interest in the metal community with their traditional, epic-tinged, no-frills heavy metal.

Since “Final Spell” was released so far only in digital and on cassette,  Sarlacc Productions and Cruz Del Sur Music felt that VISIGOTH’s music needed a more suitable format – wax!

Complete with an enhanced, specific for vinyls sound, insert with lyrics and a new layout created by Paul McCarroll/Unhinged Art (Primordial, Scald etc.), the “Final Spell” vinyl will be limited to 500 copies only, the first 150 in coloured-vinyl.

The official release date is set for mid April 2013.

Pre-orders are already available at our e-store, click on the Buy Now button to place your order:

 

or at Into the Void Records .

We both offer 1,00€ discount on pre-orders!

You are strongly invited to check it out, because this album is destined to be a classic item in the next few years!The following is one of the earliest press clips on VISIGOTH:
“No matter what genre of metal you tend to favour, there is nothing greater than pure unadulterated adrenaline pumping heavy metal performed the way the masters intended it, and this is exactly the way they envisioned it. “ (Dream Void Dreams blog)

“Very dark, melodic, catchy and also damn cranky, weird, but extremely whacked out. Weird, rare and absolutely brilliant.” METAL OBSERVER

“There’s still the odd sharper, hungrier NWOBHM-edged riff and shredding solo in here, but the seventies rock influences are more to the fore and merging directly with the doomier components.” DESTRUCTIVE MUSIC

NPR Radio loves PHARAOH: Top 10 Heavy Metal Releases of Year 2012

It is with a clear feeling of accomplishment that we are about to close off this hardworking year 2012 with a great new: PHARAOH’s “Bury the Light” album on Cruz del Sur Music has appeared in the 2012 Top Ten  Heavy Metal albums chart of NPR according to writer Lars Gotrich!! Check it out here.

This is what NPR had to say about Bury the Light:”Chris Black is one of metal’s most tireless musicians, typically working in the denim-shredded realm handed down by Iron Maiden and Jag Panzer. In 2012, the drummer and songwriter appeared on three albums that span the early spirit of metal: Superchrist‘s tallboy-downin’ Holy S—, Dawnbringer‘s heartfelt, but no less hair-raising concept album Into the Lair of the Sun God (Black’s baby, so to speak), and Pharaoh‘s Bury the Light. I loved all three for different reasons, but few records this year felt as epic as Bury the Light. Not “epic” in the way that metal journos typically overuse the word, but in the way that vocalist Tim Aymar might as well be wailing an epic poem handed down generations.” Read more “NPR Radio loves PHARAOH: Top 10 Heavy Metal Releases of Year 2012”
