LIAR OF GOLGOTHA (NETHERLANDS)

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.

IMPIETY (SINGAPORE)

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.
