Raein "Forme Sommerse"

LP - $17.50
STREET DATE: 10/24/25
CAT#: VIS027
LABEL: Persistent Vision

Following a triumphant return to live performances and several vinyl reissues last year, Italy’s RAEIN presents a brand new album, "Forme Sommerse" (Submerged Forms). Their first new music in ten years, "Forme Sommerse" consists of two seamless side-length songs across nearly thirty minutes - an emotionally complex, dynamic and graceful hardcore record from start to finish.

“It’s been ten years since our last recording. Ten years of change. It wasn’t a given we’d manage it again; clearly, what once was has cut deep—and stayed. We moved instinctively, as we always have, condensing these ten years of shifts and distances into half an hour of music. When we reflect on reality, it’s its submerged forms that move us; this record, true to tradition, is a tribute to what can’t be seen and to what compels us.”

Founded in 2002 in Italy, the band released a dizzying amount of music, across multiple splits, EPs and albums, while extensively touring the world during their original run. Reformed in 2023, Raein is considered to be one of the leaders in emotional post-hardcore, carrying a similar spirit and sound as bands like Orchid, Saetia, Pg.99, and others. Melding melody and discordance into something truly beautiful to experience.

"Forme Sommerse" comes packaged in a matte, full color gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeve and limited colored vinyl.

Mastiff "For All the Dead Dreams"

LP - $20.65 / CD - $12.00
STREET DATE: 10/24/25
CAT#: CRR255
LABEL: Church Road

Whether spreading plagues, turning the Earth to ash or teetering on the precipice of depression, you can always count on Kingston Upon Hull’s premier misery merchants Mastiff to ruin your day. Now well over a decade into their parade of embittered misanthropy, the East Yorkshire quintet have definitively burned their mark into the UK’s extreme music scene with a fistful of mangled hardcore and sludge riffs and an endless well of spite.

Mastiff’s reputation as a ferocious live entity only continues to grow, as they have spent the last few years racking up appearances at prestigious heavy music festivals like Bloodstock, Damnation, Incineration and DesertFest to name but a few, as well as sharing stages and touring with the likes of Avatar, Palm Reader, Conan, Black Tongue, Cult Leader, Calligram, Iron Monkey, Raging Speedhorn and many, many more.

As for recorded output, following two critically acclaimed albums on MNRK Heavy (High On Fire, The Callous Daoboys, Underoath, Darkest Hour etc), as well as their track ‘Acid Breather’ appearing in the multi-million-selling video game Cyberpunk 2077 and its Netflix anime spin-off Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Mastiff have finally and proudly joined the hallowed roster of Church Road Records for the release of ‘For All The Dead Dreams’, a blistering five-song assault of pummelling and aggravated hardcore.

Once again recorded and mixed by the incredible Joe Clayton at Nø Studio and mastered by the legendary Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, ‘…Dead Dreams’ sees Mastiff at their most brutish, sounding like Nails, Harms Way and Gatecreeper thrown into a cement mixer and poured straight into your ears. If the band’s previous album ‘Deprecipice’ felt as blunt and ignorant as heavy music gets, revel in horror as Mastiff collectively grunt ‘Hold my beer’ and dish up 15 minutes of unrelenting and unforgiving punishment.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Soliloquy
02. Rotting Blossoms
03. Decimated Graves
04. A Story Behind Every Light
05. Corporeal

Harms Way, Nails, Gatecreeper
