We’re proud to announce that in 2015 CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC will give birth to a little, lovely sister:

GATES OF HELL RECORDS!

GATES OF HELL RECORDS is a sub-label of Cruz Del Sur that will focus on old school metal bands of all styles. We mean classic heavy metal, but also black, death and thrash.

Many times we have been approached by valid bands we liked, but unfortunately did not feel as a good fit for Cruz Del Sur Music’s roster. But now, as we are constantly searching for high-quality bands, we want to fill the gap with GATES OF HELL RECORDS, whose distribution & promotional tools will be the same as Cruz Del Sur Music’s.

However, GATES OF HELL RECORDS has its own A&R staff, so all inquiries regarding the label’s news, releases, merchandise etc., you should refer to www.gatesofhellrecords.com.

The first release will be the new ANAL VOMIT’s album “Peste Negra, Muerte Negra” to be released in early 2015 under license of Icarus Music. The cult Peruvian-combo returns to spread terror with an overdose of blackened death-thrash in the best tradition of the old South American masters.

“Peste Negra, Muerte Negra, ” is a massive and crushing opus, guaranteed to summon the dead from their graves and unleash Hell on Earth.

The album will feature an outrageous artwork by Mottla Art and will be available in compact disc and vinyl formats, both limited.

U.S. Doomsters APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE are proud to announce the exclusive album stream of Of Woe and Wounds in celebration of today’s release on Cruz Del Sur Music in North America. Check out Zero Tolerance‘s exclusive stream at this location.

APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE’s Of Woe and Wounds will rank among the heaviest album of 2014. From the 7-minute opener “Blackest of Times” to the ending “Luna,” APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE deliver an incredible performance that gives full sense to the sometimes-abused term “DOOM”. Mastered by Tony Reed (producer of last SAINT VITUS’ album “Lillie: F-65”), this album confirms APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE as a versatile, multi-dimensional doom band that offers the most Sabbath-inspired sound around these days, blended with personal, oppressive yet dynamic atmospheres such as those found in “Push Mortal Coil” or “Whore’s Wings” (re-recorded hits from their 2012’s demo), or the long and haunting “Die Vicar Die”.

The album also features the extraordinary work of talented Artist David Csicsely known for his illustrations of Mournful Congregation, Solitude Aeternus, Wheel, Flight of Sleipnir releases.

Tracklist:
Distance and the Cold Heart
Blackest of Times
Whore’s Wings
Lamentations of a Broken Man
