Today / tonight! Alongside The Mill Brewery we’re pleased to present the blacksmithing and ironworks of Pelle Forsberg of Watain (aka Pandation Forge) and the instrument making and obliteration practice of Rev. Kriss Hades (aka Kriss Hades) of the legendary Sadistik Exekution and solo moniker.

Opening night festivities from 6pm tonight, with refreshments provided by The Mill Brewery. We’re open from 10am today as usual and will close at around 9pm as things start to wind up.

We have original works from the exhibition by Pelle available for sale, as well as a range of art prints, CDs, tapes and records from RKH.

It’s new tape day, with some exciting new punk demos from R.I.P PEACE RECORDS.

Obelisk is a new metallic crust punk / industrial project out of Brisbane featuring members of Aethyrvorous + more. Five unforgivingly bleak tracks with genre elements also heavily embedded in UK extreme metal/punk as well as the darker end of the UK anarcho spectrum. Impressively executed drum machine and a carefully crafted incorporation of brooding electronics/synth-laden atmospherics only adds to the overall mystique on this monolithic journey through an impenetrable fog.

Crawling out from the grave of the Sunshine Coast of so-called Queensland are Lonely Co**se. A relatively new 4-piece outfit harnessing a precariously unique amalgamation of sonic elements on this boldly intriguing five track debut cassette. A haunting concoction of genre influences centred around the associated tropes of post-punk, extreme metal and gothic rock with shades of crust-y anarcho that are all woven together as one. Creating a dirt ridden landscape of interchangeable aspects that’ll leave you wondering where to next? A duality of unprecedented chaos and uplifting harmony. A tale of life and death at your fingertips.

As always, sick art and xerox style packaging complement the whole. You can pick these up 10-6 today or online via www.blacksound.com.au.

Legendary Finnish death metal band Convulse have a new series of reissues out for 2026 via Relapse.

From Resuscitation To Reincarnation documents the early years of the band, and includes their debut demo tape (1992) and Lost Equilibrium EP (1992).

The classic debut full-length World Without God gets a new remaster for 2026, pressed on galaxy effect coloured vinyl.

Follow up ‘Reflections’ saw the band lean into a more experimental death rock sort of direction, drawing more from thrash and the jazzier end of Black Sabbath than the band’s straight ahead death metal beginnings. Reflections finally gets its first time on vinyl reissue, galaxy effect coloured vinyl.

Available in store 10-6 today, or online via www.blacksound.com.au.

Rough as guts, too cool not to share. This original 1981 UK silver label pressing of Welcome To Hell has seen a life.

Insert and Neat Records merchandise mail order form still intact. For just £4 you could be rockin’ a sweet Venom shirt, although that offer might have expired a little while ago!

Despite its shabby appearance this one plays well! Incudes free sharpie markings over bits of wear on the cover. Pick it up 10-5 today, or online via www.blacksound.com.au.

Two new reissues from Brutal Truth + a new album from Left To Die, documenting some of the earliest and most die-hard material by the legendary Death.

Most of the songs on the latter were only ever recorded direct to tape via a boombox and circulated via tape trading circa 1984.

Here Exhumed’s Matt Harvey, alongside original Death members Terry Butler (Obituary) and Rick Rozz (Massacre), with Gus Rios (Gruesome), set out to re-record these demo tracks and present them in the glory of a never heard before proper production.

Unexpectedly excellent, and a great celebration of this seminal death metal band.

You can pick these up 10-6 today, online via www.blacksound.com.au.

We’ve got a really cool bunch of second hand punk, post-punk, darkwave, garage and associated titles to have hit the racks.

This Hacker 12”, released by the local Melbourne band on none other than Hardcore Victim in 2021, is an absolute belter of a record that basically anyone into proper hardcore punk should give a listen.

Pick ‘em up or browse in store 10-6 today, or online via www.blacksound.com.au.

New from Disdain Records and KILAT / SUNDOWNER.

We’ve got the new sophomore album from the Melbourne trio in on no less than 4 colour variants. The reverse board jacket really did justice to the print on this one, featuring a rework of the famous John Martin painting ‘The Fall Of Babylon’ by Gian Manik + brilliant as ever layout work by Alexander 葉 L. Brown.

Out today, Adelaide’s Sundowner have dropped another heavy slab of NOLA inspired and blues led sludge / doom. Copies available in four different colour variants.

You can grab one or all 10-6 today, or online via www.blacksound.com.au.

A special PSA to all EHG preorder customers and anybody who’s been holding out until these arrive!

We’ve just received news that the pressing plant is now ready to ship. Some titles are completely sold through / allocated and so any excess titles that we’ve ordered are our absolute last copies to go around.

Due to the lengthy pressing plant delay on these we are highly unlikely to restock these titles at all this year, so once they’re gone they’re gone.

If you’ve been holding out until these arrive, we are unlikely to be able to accommodate you amongst our remaining numbers unless you secure a copy in advance now.

Our remaining stock is as follows:
Dopesick – 5 **pressing sold out**
Take As Needed For Pain – 10 **pressing sold out**
A History Of Nomadic Behaviour – 3
Confederacy Of Ruined Lives – 2
In The Name Of Suffering – 2
Preaching The “End Time” Message – 3
Self titled – 3
Southern Discomfort – 5

A huge thanks to all for their patience with this, it has been a frustrating release for all involved. We’ll be packing these up and firing them out the door as soon as they arrive.

Last copies available via www.blacksound.com.au.

Today’s staff picks come courtesy of our youngest member of the crew, Noah. Noah likes punk, ripping riffs, and when they’re not helping out at the shop is probably at a sick local AA show.

Class Traitor – Calving MC
This sludgy post-metal debut EP from 2021 features members of local bands Blood On My Hands, Religious Observance and Munt.

Iron Reagan – Demo 2012 12” MLP
What started out as a side-project by members of Municipal Waste and Darkest Hour produced this sick 5 track demo and kickass example of crossover thrash.

Flores Nucleares – S/T 7”
Mexican raw d-beat, released on DIY record label Doomsday Records. Like most d-beat, the lyrical themes of this 7” are based on the horrors of war and its impact on mankind.

You can find these in the racks 10-6 today, or purchase them online via www.blacksound.com.au.
