Today DVP is proud to announce the release of the following new titles:
DVP 121 Hemisferio – Anacronía CD
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEMISFERIO’s highly anticipated debut album, Anacronía, on CD format.
Hailing from the cult metal hotbed of Chile, HEMISFERIO have been prodigiously perfecting their iron-clad craft since 2015. A couple singles kicked off their heavy metal march, soon followed by a split tape with Chilean comrades Asedio in 2016. With momentum building, those early singles found their way onto 7″ vinyl format, that same year, and then capped off by rough ‘n’ rowdy live album. Afterwards, vocalist Pedro Antonio departed and was replaced by Carlos Contador.
With that lineup firmly in place, HEMISFERIO make their grand entrance onto the worldwide stage with Anacronía. Suitably, this debut album encapsulates all the magic, mystery, and might of their aesthetic thus far, except rendered in rich, era-authentic analog. Indeed, HEMISFERIO create a truly ancient sound that encompasses many early ’80s metals: the NWOBHM taking creative flight, the first rustic rumblings of the contemporaneous US power metal scene, Teutonic metal burning brightly in the night before revving into thrash overdrive, and even Scandinavia’s oft-overlooked contribution to the heavy metal lexicon during this era. However, even in their native tongue, HEMISFERIO’s passion pours forth across each of these nine anthems in the making, with moody-yet-majestic solos flying fast and free, underpinned by a subtle yet no less dynamic rhythm section. And as prefaced by the preceding single from last year, Carlos Contador proves to be a commanding frontman, his tone and delivery bleeding the hard-fought/wrought pathos intrinsic to early, working-class metal.
Gaze into the crystal ball, raise thy sword, and rev that motorcycle, for HEMISFERIO have arrived with Anacronía! Suitably fantastical cover art by Adam Burke.
Comes with a sticker.
DVP 127 The Night Eternal – The Night Eternal MLP / MC / T-Shirt
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present THE NIGHT ETERNAL’s striking debut EP, The Night Eternal, on 12″ vinyl and cassette tape formats.
Although THE NIGHT ETERNAL’s first public recording, already, these Germans are evincing the mastery of veterans. Across their three original compositions and a reverentially poignant cover of Judas Priest’s “(Take These) Chains,” the quintet concoct a supremely powerful and stirringly moody sort of heavy metal, both traditionally pure-steel in their dynamics yet also brimming with epicness and a sort of forlorn heroism. In fact, early ’80s Judas Priest is an apt reference for The Night Eternal‘s night-prowling style, all gleaming chrome and classy, but bespeaking an ever-present darkness beneath that alluring exterior. Of course, hooks are massive as are the commanding vocals of frontman Ricardo, but it’s the chemistry among the five members of THE NIGHT ETERNAL that puts this beyond most other debut recordings: truly, their fire and fluidity are magick to behold! Appropriately moody cover art courtesy of Brouemaster Visual Decay.

DVP 130 Spiker – Heavy Metal Macht MLP / MCD / MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a brand-new EP from SPIKER, Heavy Metal Macht, on CD, 12″ vinyl, and cassette tape formats.
Ever aptly titled, Heavy Metal Macht is indeed pure German metal THUNDER! No thrash, no speed, just simple (and simply stunning) HEAVY METAL brewed in the cauldrons of old, all delivered in SPIKER’s mother tongue, as a nod to the old GDR metal bands who sang in German as well. Classy and cruising whilst emitting a touch of rowdiness that’s intrinsic to the Teutonic rivethead ethos, here on Heavy Metal Macht do this young quartet of old souls charge into the night with gusto and panache, armed to the teeth with anthems of indelible steel. Granted, SPIKER can certainly kick up the pace when they want to, but their thrust isn’t strictly speed metal per se, but rather a hook-intensive sort somewhere between early Living Death and classic Tank, Germany’s Warrant and Strong Arm of the Law-era Saxon. You’ve been warned about their Heavy Metal Macht!

DVP 131 Indian Nightmare – By Ancient Force MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present INDIAN NIGHTMARE‘S great second album „By Ancient Force“ on cassette tape format.
By now you should know this international outfit, based in Berlin. This five-piece metalpunk outfit plays a highly energetic, refreshing and wild punky thrash metal mix and convince anyone who has seen them live with their great performance. The new album continues what they have started with the debut in 2016 and dives only deeper into the imagery and stories of Mexican natives’ history. “By Ancient Force” is easily one of the most anticipated underground thrash albums of the year – And you won’t be disappointed!
Split release with DVP’s Punk friends of Plastic Bomb.

DVP 132 Temptress – The Orb / Woman 7”
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the recorded debut of Italy’s TEMPTRESS, The Orb, on 7′ vinyl format.
Although a brand-new entity, TEMPTRESS are a veritable blast from the past. Moodily melodic and draped in the cloak of night, TEMPTRESS create effortlessly cruising mid-tempo heavy metal of a most early ’80s vintage. Even down to their production style, the power-trio have this style down COLD, and it emits a nostalgic fire that’s somehow fresh across these two equally strong tracks. A new twist on the old NWOBHM comes courtesy of Italy – gaze deeply into TEMPTRESS’ The Orb!
Comes with a sticker.
DVP 133 Vulture – Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves MC
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present VULTURE‘S second album „Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves“ on cassette tape format.
Vulture have taken the scene by storm and after unleashing a debut album that sported some of the most exciting speed/thrash metal bastards last year, the band is back with their 2nd record. The band has definitely been able to release a record which sounds like everything their fans are wishing for, yet add some new sprinkles here and there. The crowd will have to decide which of the albums is better, hard to say since they both contain some of the strongest recent speed metal material.
Comes with a sticker and button.
