Coming out soon ...

NICODEMUS - Vanity is a Virtue Digi-CD (SARECD008)
When art and metal collide...
Rarely do we listen to bands that don't stick to a specific sub genre of heavy music and decide to combine many different elements and create their own thing from scratch. NICODEMUS from the U.S. is one of a kind. They manage to mix progressive melodic music, with black metal a la DIMMU BORGIR and TRISTANIA, as well as more traditional heavy music like KING DIAMOND. Even influences from RUSH & DREAM THEATER are present and if you wonder what the result sounds like, then expect to hear one of the most promising albums in the last years.
The real side of progressive diverse music...


EUROFORCE - Euroforce Digi-CD (SARECD009)
The supreme metal force!
Simply put this semi Greek, semi German band has what it takes to become the biggest name in Euro power/symphonic metal. Hands down, some of the best riffs and vocals ever recorded on CD are here! The best guitar player of Greece, Theodore Ziras, who has appeared in the biggest guitar magazines around the world and the highly acclaimed HUMAN FORTRESS singer, Jiotis Parcharidis have come to leave their mark forever in the power metal fields. EUROFORCE have already started gaining the attention of the worldwide media, so prepare for the absolute masterpiece...
Are you ready to feel the force?

PENETRATOR - Penetrator Digi-CD (SARECD007)
Hammering metal into your head!!!
The Canadian heavy metal scene has always been one of the most quality scenes worldwide; just think of EXCITER, ANNIHILATOR, SWORD, EIDOLON, ANVIL... Be ready for the best thing Canada has put out in a very long time in classic heavy metal. All the members of PENETRATOR are veteran musicians and their promo CD "Unleash the fury" got some triumphant reviews from the worldwide metal press. 9 metal-thirsty compositions comprise the debut CD release of the band and be sure that some of them will become instant classics! Fantastic limited edition digi-pack CD release with 8 page booklet.
The return of classic heavy metal...


GOD.FEAR.NONE - Envy Digi-CD (SARECD006)
Vulgar Display of Metal!!!
SONIC AGE records is mostly reputed for our heavy/power metal releases. So, just imagine how good a death metal band has to be in order to draw our attention. GOD.FEAR.NONE are so damn powerful, brutal and melodic at the same time that their recordings tore us into pieces. We knew this band had to be on our roster! Think SOILWORK, NEVERMORE, KILL SWITCH ENGAGE and the sharpest riffs of AT THE GATES and you'll be in the back yard of what GOD.FEAR.NONE are creating. The imposing clean vocals of WASTEFALL and the powerful harsh singing of Chronis (ex-SADWINGS) will finish you off. The album will hit the stores at the end of April. Fantastic limited edition digi-pack CD release with 12 page paste on booklet.
Just be prepared, a wall of metal is underway...


HELLFIRE - Requiem for my Bride Digi-CD (SARECD005)
Fire of Metal Origin!!!
If you miss the days when KING DIAMOND ruled with albums like "Them", "Abigail" and "Conspiracy" and you also miss the divine riffs of ANNIHILATOR on their first albums, then get prepared for the best concept album of the decade. Hailing from Poland and after releasing the fantastic self-financed CD entitled "Recoffination", this great band is ready to deliver their sophomore masterpiece on the 28th of March. Fantastic limited edition digi-pack CD release with 12 page booklet.
Words are really poor to describe metal itself!!!


MANILLA ROAD - Out of the Abyss / Roadkill - CD (CultMetal 022)
The epitome of speed, power & epic music !!!
MANILLA ROAD from Wichita, Kansas simply need no comments. After our successful re-release of their first two obscure classics prepare for another 2-CD frenzy. Our favorite MANILLA ROAD album, "Out of the abyss" and the complete re-issue of their only live release so far, "Roadkill" featuring 7 bonus cuts! Both albums, feature the most powerful moments that MANILLA ROAD ever attempted musically and the outstanding drumming of Randy Foxe, one of heavy metal's greatest drummers ever! Let alone the magical lyrics of music genious Mark Shelton about Cthulu mythology. Coming at the end of February. Features loads of photos, lyrics, liner notes and comments in a fat deluxe 12-page booklet.
You can't live without this re-issue!!!
