A You can use the term death metal on this; it'll be ok. Maybe deathrash. Dunno that I would care to reference Christian Death in particular, but definitely not Running Wild; there is no need to bring them into this. I find, actually, in a lot of ways this feels very familiar, yet it is not; it is crafty and unique, though I do feel like there's a sort of restraint here used to hold it all together, so you are left with something reliable and consistent, and also open and adventurous. Super stuff.

about

EDGED CIRCLE PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a worldwide release of HALLUX VALGUS' striking debut album, Reflections of Distant Dreams, on double-LP vinyl format.

Originally released during the first half of 2021 but only in extremely limited quantities in their native Chile, HALLUX VALGUS' Reflections of Distant Dreams displayed the full depth of their daring vision, which had been slowly brewing since the band's formation in 2013. Not for nothing did the album sell out quickly: the power trio of Horrorhammer, Old Ripper, and Spectre perfected an idiosyncratic sound that could be liken to a head-on collision between Cadaver, Running Wild, and early Christian Death. And yet, there's no winking/cloying cleverness about the band's bubbling cauldron of unhinged, unfettered wildness; HALLUX VALGUS are simply being themselves, and creating tongue-twistingly epic yet impossibly catchy HEAVY METAL dusted with deathrock. We could claim that no one quite sounds like them, but we'll just conservatively say that they sidle alongside labelmates like INCULTER, PHANTOM FIRE, SEPULCHER, SPEEDKILLER, and fellow Chileans DEMONIAC and SIGN OF EVIL. And HOLY SHIT, there's a cat on the cover!

Feeling duty call, to properly excavate this gleaming gem of weirdo metal magick, EDGED CIRCLE is honored to release a worldwide edition of Reflections of Distant Dreams. What else is lurking within HALLUX VALGUS' cauldron? Only time will tell!

The Funeral Pyre
by KVAEN

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74

Old school Death Metal in its purest form. Thanks to Transcending Obscurity for this little gem. Found it on Bandcamp Friday. The clean singing part in „Rot of Ages“ is epic - i did not expecting this. Highly recommended for everyone who loves old school Death Metal! Sælzer Bub
