HELLWITCH formed in 1984 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Something was truly in the water in Florida at the time, as its nascent scene of bands began careers that would redefine and propel extreme metal to unprecedented heights as the decade progressed. Unlike many of their much-lauded peers in the world of Florida metal, HELLWITCH’s approach to thrash and death metal was decidedly technical in nature, placing their music in a liminal threshold that defied any rigid genre classification. Their debut full-length “Syzygial Miscreancy” demonstrates the group’s mastery of brutal thrash as well as more progressively-minded and labyrinthine excursions with few parallels outside of perhaps early ATHEIST. Their dense compositional approach is reflected in the lyrics, with arcane song titles like “Mordrivial Dissemination” confirming that HELLWITCH was on a different artistic plane than their Satanic and Lovecraftian colleagues. Their expert musicianship is not merely an exercise in virtuosity; indeed, tracks like “Nosferatu” are blunt and anthemic enough to stand aside the greats of their era while retaining a distinct quality that makes this record remarkable. Originally released by the legendary (and infamous) Wild Rags Records in 1990, NWN! Productions is proud to bring this overlooked classic back to a vinyl format.

NEBIROS was formed in 1990 in Medellin, Colombia by Jovanni Garcia, aka Sacrilegus. Joined by drummer Black Satan and bassist/guitarist Feretrum, NEBIROS stood out among their chaotic Ultrametal peers in Colombia by playing mid-paced, occult black metal in the vein of SAMAEL, ROTTING CHRIST, and “Deathcrush”-era MAYHEM. Their first demo is the sole recording featuring Sacrilegus before his untimely murder in 1992, although his lyrics would be used for several more years. Black Satan was soon replaced by Dominus Saevitum, and the group would remain a duo throughout the rest of its initial run. Their debut full-length “Guerreros de Lucifer” arrived in 1996 and remains an outstanding example of 90s black metal. Each of its eight tracks is a fully realized piece, with a mournful sense of melodicism driving their overall musical vision. While homage is paid to their aforementioned influences, NEBIROS’ songwriting skill and genuine conviction place them directly in conversation with their European counterparts as opposed to a mere genre exercise. The epic title track alone is worth the price of admission. With a low-fidelity recording style and a truly cult cover photo, “Guerreros de Lucifer” belongs in the canon of classic international 90s black metal. Originally self-released by the band in 1996, NWN! Productions is proud to bring this release to a deservedly wider audience.
