(review) Various – VIII – Immortal Euphoria

Besides being great PR agency for bringing underground metal to hearts of legions of brothers and sisters out there, Metalmessage also releases music and their compilations are something to watch out for. I remember when I was a kid starting in the scene, there were tape trading days which created a network that is still active today in many ways. One of the means to discover new bands were compilation tapes and I loved listening to them and discovered new bands, sent a letter, got to know new friends, help bring bands to my area and I am active in the scene now, thirty years after that. This is already eighth part of Metalmessage compilation and this time they deliver fifteen bands from the underground and one common thread is that they are all high quality music and each of them represented here is fantastic, depending on your personal taste. Since my personal taste is somewhere in more blacker specter of scene, my favorites on this compilation are Antrisch, awesome black metal, Lovecraft inspired doom Cult Of Salem, Varus from Germany, being energetic black folk metal, but you will have to listen and find your own favorites, I am sure you will. Go check it out!

If that’s not enough to kick-start your day, Lockjaw and Sham City have compiled a one-off digital compilation, available exclusively to those who buy their Lockjaw Coffee. The compilation features Lockjaw Records and Hastings favourites, including Adrenalized, Not On Tour, Fair Do’s, Burnt TapesMatilda’s Scoundrels and many more.

Lockjaw Records are strong believers in the spirit of collaboration, and in supporting other small, independents businesses. As a crew of coffee snobs, they’re also extremely excited to be working with Sham City on this limited roast.

“I’m super excited to be working with a label like Lockjaw for this collab. I love to work with other DIY businesses that are doing interesting things independently of the mainstream; Lockjaw totally embodies that. Coffee and punk have always gone hand in hand, and music undoubtedly inspired me to start my business, so it’s great to be a part of this project twinning the two.”

Dave Cullern, Sham City Roasters

Lockjaw Coffee is a medium-bodied city roast with hints of citrus lemon and almond. The Rainforest Certified beans used are grown without pesticides, fungicides or herbicides at La Lomida Farm, which also dedicates 40% of its land as a forest reserve and sanctuary to local fauna.

The care and attention Sham City Roasters pay to every area of the roasting/blending process allows them to create a coffee unlike any you have tasted before; providing brighter flavours, better quality and a much finer cup of coffee.
