Singapore's metallers IRONFIST signed an exclusive recording, merchandising and touring deal with SHIVARAGE. IRONFIST is arguably the most sexxxotic band in Asia and was officially formed in 2002. The band now celebrates sixxx years of sexxxtruction with the new album ‘Weapon of Mass Sexxxtruction’. The spawning of their first demo ‘Dragonlore’ in 2002 and a promo single and their first mini-album ‘Tyrannikal Adversaries’ in 2003 paved the unholy ways for IRONFIST in the black/ death/ thrash metal scene. Since then IRONFIST has been endlessly destroying stages and releasing ovules of torment and pacts, not forgetting experiencing line-up changes. Lose all fucking faith and prepare to be sexxxekuted beyond oblivion!!!!!!!!!
LIAR OF GOLGOTHA was formed in 1993 and released three full-length albums during its twelve year existence. Their final album Ancient Wars (recorded in the German Spacelab Studio) is considered one of the best Dutch (black) metal albums in the history of Dutch metal. The band split in 2005 and its band members are now playing in such groups as Melechesh and the Dutch oldest extreme metal band Thanatos. The key elements of LIAR OF GOLGOTHA’S style consisted of an unusually well developed sense of melody and harmony, creative drum patterns and fills (melodic/ symphonic black metal). In 1996 the band released their debut album ‘Dancing through the Palace of the Ungodly Beauty’ on the Shivadarshana label and to promote ‘Dwell Within the Mysterious Dark’ (1997) the band played a successful 20 date European tour with Dark Funeral and Enthroned. What Liar Of Golgotha presented on their records can still be described as really impressive and a great example of what can happen when extreme metal and great musicianship are combined.
ABHORER was formed in 1987 and they are recognized as being an extremely influential group in the early Asian black/death metal scene and hailed as one of the world’s most wicked black/death metal underground bands. ABHORER still gets the highest salutation from all the Asian metalbangers and some (ex)members also played for another local great: IMPIETY. Their 1989 demo 'Rumpus of the Undead' became a vital piece of black/ death metal history and was released on vinyl in 1991 and was the first Singaporean death metal recording on vinyl. These pioneers then signed to the Shivadarshana label which released 2 essential kult pieces: the 'Upheaval of Blasphemy' 7”EP in 1993 and their magnum opus, the 'Zygotical Sabbatory Anabapt' album in 1996. Before the return of Shiva, these classic Shiva recordings were over the last 10+ years only ever been occasionally available as a bootleg (e.g. a poor quality anthology CD without permission of Abhorer & Shiva) and are now officially reissued on SHIVARAGE to stop all bootlegging.
ORDER FROM CHAOS was formed in 1987 and they are recognised as being an extremely influential group in the early US black/ death metal scene and one of the world’s most raging black/ death/ thrash metal underground bands. After working with various labels, the band joined the Shivadarshana label in 1993. In 1994 the label released their 'Plateau of Invincibility' 10”EP which was released with bonus tracks on CD format in 1995, followed by the 'Dawn Bringer' album (1995) and the 'And I Saw Eternity' MCD (1996). Fire breathing and bone throwing coupled with the ferocity of their stage presence built a great live reputation. The band decided to call it quits in 1995 and its band members went on to form such groups as Angelcorpse, Revenge, Ares Kingdom and Vulpecula. In 2008 the band reunited on stage on a few occasions when Angelcorpse & Ares Kingdom toured together.
IMPIETY was formed in 1990 and their 1992 'Ceremonial…' demo led to a record deal with the Shivadarshana label. On the Shivadarshana label the band released the 'Salve the Goat: Iblis Excelsi' 7”EP in 1994 and the 'Asateerul Awaleen' album in 1996. The band also recorded the Funeralight mini-album but was never officially released. In August 2003 IMPIETY signed an exclusive recording, merchandising and touring deal with the new AVANTHARD records founded by Shivadarshana.
The deal includes new studio albums, the back catalogue (including the unreleased Funeralight mini-album), live and best of albums, all merchandising etc.
Upon signing with our label and receipt of an advance payment, IMPIETY unlawfully signed to another label which would also unofficially release bootlegs of several older titles of which the rights belong to the Shivadarshana label/AvantHard Records. Because of the backstabbing behaviour of IMPIETY, AvantHard Records lay dormant. Now SHIVARAGE has taken over all rights belonging to AVANTHARD and because of IMPIETY’S existing binding agreement we are entitled to release their full catalogue.
