Darknight Darkened sludge post hardcore with great punchy riffs and the gravel tarred vocals match the dark tones of this fantastic album. Favorite track: Fiend.

flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) Moody, brooding sludge that journeys through desert wastelands, over icy mountains, and across rolling seas. It's a step up from the debut and a fine example of the genre. Love the string additions. Full review on MetalTrenches.com: metaltrenches.com/reviews/set-sail-104 Favorite track: Guiltless.

Ryukisai The best post-hardcore release of 2014. Short, but full of great "absolute" epically doomy and dark riffs. Favorite track: Eternal.

Maksim Stoimenov Uncompromising, socially engaged, smart and suprising. Everything you'd want in a record, and freakin` heavy too. Favorite track: Inferno.

    Alaskan's newest LP released by Alerta Antifascista Records and Moment of Collapse Records. Release date: February 28th, 2014.

    Just under 40 minutes in length.

    Note regarding shipping: Canada Post recently (January 2014) increased shipping costs and removed some economical shipping methods. Our shipping prices are as exact as we can confirm but in some cases we have over estimated to ensure our costs are covered. If we find that we have overcharged you to ship your package, we will rectify this situation and refund you the amount we overcharged. If you feel more comfortable contacting us for a shipping quote prior to ordering, don't hesitate to do so.

1.
Sacrifice 05:12
The frantic cries of innocence lost to a repressed, lustful beast Your cries of shame fall on deaf ears Blood stained reputations demand a sacrifice Beg for forgiveness One young girl’s life for our honour Forced into acceptance Now you've found your way out of this union, Swallowed down your escape
2.
Fiend 07:33
Awakened by blood curdling screams of pain Raced to discover the unthinkable The fiend has returned with evil intentions The falling rain will muffle the sound My mind is focused on the task at hand Only a few short hours to await my prey This instrument breaks her silence Driving this knife into her throat Spilling gore onto this hardwood canvas
3.
Inferno 05:43
Load the bodies Set them ablaze When desperation calls on these actions When families crumble in the minds eye The only way to save us is to destroy it all An explosion of sound mixed in these emotions The scream from this apparatus still rings in my ears This urge, so simple to rationalize If cowards die many times before their death, then let this be the first

Submerged 05:16

Guiltless 07:20
