Writhen Hilt – Ancient Sword Cult (vinyl)
Regular price €25,00 Save 0%Blending the rocking sensibilities of the NWOBHM with Sweden’s catchy hooks and the mystical element of bands such as Warlord, sword-worshipping Heavy Metal traditionalists Writhen Hilt from Germany shall capture you with their entrancing brand of melodic, all-consuming craftsmanship. Sharp guitars gallop atop unbreakable waves of drumming with some truly unique, spellbinding vocals. Their medieval anthems of metallic fury have that USPM sense of triumph coating every moment. The emotive dynamics take some nuanced doomy touches and give a downtrodden sense of despair to the songs. Glory reigns eternal in the more ethereal passages of the opus. This contrasting and skilfully executed mixture will certainly enthral you.
Packed with grandeur, there is that primal fist-pounding drive, acting as a sonic backbone throughout this record; the wailing chants of a battle cry reverberate in the Heavy Metal splendour. The screaming lead guitars have a captivating quality, which adds some gorgeous soulfulness to the clashing of iron. Thundering bass glows like a fire in a hearth while the steel of mighty riffing and pounding drums keep the songs charging forward. Everything on this record simply screams “epic” from start to finish and it is an adventure you truly must embark upon for yourself.

Mechanic Tyrants – St. Diemen Riots (vinyl)
Regular price €25,00 Save 0%Get ready to ignite your senses with the blazing debut album of Mechanic Tyrants! Jawbreaker Records proudly presents St. Diemen Riots, a ferocious and electrifying album set to drop in September.
Mechanic Tyrants burst onto the scene during the pandemic, quickly establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Vocalist/guitarist Flo and bassist Danny spearheaded this project with potent, high-octane riffs that demanded more. Joined by the prodigious guitar shredder Jake and powerhouse drummer Orlando, this quartet is ready to take the metal world by storm.
St. Diemen Riots is a half-part concept album in the same vein as Rush‘s 2112, spinning a dystopian tale set in the chaotic city of Meanhattan. The narrative kicks off with Tower 42, depicting the oppression of the lower class and the spark of rebellion. Tracks like Murder at the Barricades and Ruins of the Past delve into the brutal conflict and its devastating aftermath, offering a visceral and poignant journey through a city torn apart by strife.
This album is not just a sonic assault; it’s a melting pot of influences, blending the ferocity of Megadeth, Judas Priest, and Metallica with the intricate artistry of Rush. Mechanic Tyrants brings a fresh yet familiar energy to the frontlines of speed metal, crafting a sound that is both innovative and deeply rooted in the genre’s rich history.
With their first single, Speed Metal Guerrilla, Mechanic Tyrants deliver a tongue-in-cheek anthem celebrating the spirit of rebellion against the mainstream. Accompanied by a both fun and frenetic music video, this track sets the tone for an album that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.
Don’t miss out on St. Diemen Riots by Mechanic Tyrants — a revolutionary debut that marks the rise of a new speed metal powerhouse. Stay tuned for tour dates, grab your gear, and join the rebellion. The metal uprising is here, and Mechanic Tyrants are leading the charge.

Disarray – Religious Disease (vinyl)
Regular price €25,00 Save 0%Jawbreaker Records are proud to announce the new album Religious Disease from Swedish thrashers Disarray on all formats.
Just like when thrash was new, it’s a global crisis that underlies the new wave of young bands that blend the ethos of punk with the technical dexterity of the metal genre. The difference now is that the very epicenter of the movement has moved significantly closer to the mental precipice where climate crisis, pandemic, AI threats and terror wars make it impossible to numb one’s anxiety with video games or drugs. If Sweden became a hub for death metal when the decadent yuppie era of the 80s was on the autopsy table, Disarray was born right into the galloping chaos and disorder that defines a world in a state of dissolution. Since the start in 2022, Disarray has played extensively on Stockholm’s underground scenes and in the summer of 2023 released the mini-album Evil is Reborn, which caught the eye of Jawbreaker Records. Fast forward to 2024 and it is time to unleash Religious Disease, a full-on frontal assault of deadly thrash metal. Unlike the watered-out, so-called thrash metal that the contemporary scene has become used to these days, Disarray still keep it aggressive, angry and mean – just like how thrash should be played!
If you are a fan of hard-hitting thrash such as Sadus, Mezzrow or Vio-Lence you need to check Disarray and Religious Disease out.

Amethyst – Rock Knights (vinyl)
Regular price €26,00 Save 0%Taking one step forward and three steps back, Alfahanne returns home to Dark Essence Records with their most furious and heavy release to date! Marking exactly 10 years since the band’s debut, the new album “Vår tid är nu” will see the dark of night in February 2024. Loaded with the catchy melodies that has become the Alfahanne signature, the album combines a punk attitude, melody and groove with a bleak atmosphere somehow both reminiscent of the 80s and the early days of black metal. Adding such noble and notorious guests as Nattefrost (Carpatian Forest), Spellgoth (Horna), Nattfursth (Sorhin) and Doedsadmiral (Nordjevel) into the mix, you have an explosive cocktail fit for the end of days.
On “Vår tid är nu”, Alfahanne looks back while leaning forward, staring deep into the abyss. The band quotes “Our time is now, this is the beginning of the end.”
Palantyr – The Ascent & The Hunger (CD)
Regular price €14,00 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 135): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Hailing from Thionville, France, Palantyr – formerly known as Destrukt until August 2024 – returns with a vengeance, combining three tracks from their previous EP, The Ascent, with three brand-new, scorching anthems.
Athena’s commanding voice leads the charge, calling speedfreaks to battle with a dynamic fusion of speed and heavy metal, sharpened with an epic edge. Unlike many bands that look solely to the past, Palantyr dares to push forward, blending the ferocity of Mystik, the epic grandeur of Smoulder, and the raw heavy metal aggression of Blood Star, Tower, and Iron Griffin. The result? A perfect storm of speed, melody, and firepower.
But that’s not all – one of the new tracks is a ripping cover of Paul Roland’s Nosferatu, reimagined and reforged into a high-octane speed metal banger, proving Palantyr’s ability to reshape a song into something uniquely their own. Meanwhile, the remaining new tracks showcase the band’s most intense, yet melodically rich material to date, with riffs that drive adrenaline levels through the roof and choruses that demand fists in the air.
This release is a double-edged sword – ferocity and melody, velocity and power. For fans of Mystik, Acid, Smoulder, Blood Star, Iron Griffin, and Tower – this one’s for you!
Mixed & mastered by Olof Wikstrand.
The Ascent & The Hunger will be released digitally and on CD format on May 2, 2025.
Update: This is the second pressing (July 2025).

Tumenggung – Back on the Streets (CD)
Regular price €14,00 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 135): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Jawbreaker Records are proud to present Back on the Streets, the sophomore album from Indonesia’s premier heavy metal powerhouse, Tumenggung.
Imagine being given a time machine by the higher entities—those we can only assume blessed the world with the existence of heavy metal. Now, this time machine takes you back to the early to mid-80s, where metal was an experimental genre in the UK and Sweden, a melting pot of sounds and influences. But instead of Europe, take the scene you find there and place it in modern-day Indonesia. Think of bands like Judas Priest, Thundersteel-era Riot, maybe even a touch of Dokken, Lizzy Borden and also of modern day bands like Ambush and RAM —combine their essence, stir in some Indonesian spirit, and you’ve got Tumenggung’s unmistakable style. The group’s new album Back on the Streets, set to release in January 2025, is a collection of everything an 80s metal heart could long for. From headbanging riffs to sing-along choruses, melodic song structures, and pit-opening anthems, Tumenggung delivers with force. They may draw clear inspiration from their 80s metal predecessors, but their unique sound is what truly makes them stand out.
Having started as a quartet back in 2007, Tumenggung has since slimmed down to a power trio, and their upcoming album shows a band that has matured musically. They’ve grown beyond the subgenre they were founded upon, noticeably adding dynamics and delving more into the raw energy of heavy metal, but still embracing their influences while crafting something uniquely their own. Back on the Streets showcases the band’s melodic side like never before with guitar leads right out of the 80s metal dream. Its analogue recording style gives the riffs and raw, unpolished vocals an organic, visceral edge. The 9 tracks on the album are bound to surprise you, taking you from soulful melodies to the kind of thrashing speed metal that gets your adrenaline pumping.
Fans of Judas Priest, Riot, and anyone with a love for authentic, unfiltered 80s metal will find Tumenggung’s latest work a journey worth taking. Back on the Streets will be out on all formats on January 17, 2025.
First pressing CD limited to 300 copies.

Acid Force- World Targets In Megadeaths (CD)
Regular price €13,00 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 135): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Jawbreaker Records are proud to announce the release of the new album World Targets In Megadeaths by Slovakian heavy thrashers Acid Force.
Following a brief hiatus and several lineup changes, Acid Force has returned stronger than ever. The band, now consisting of Andrej Petro on guitars and vocals, Erik Leško on guitars, Federico Petrík on drums, and Juraj Ondrejmiška on bass, has expanded their sonic palette while staying true to their roots. The resulting album is a heavy load of thrashing metal fury, heavily sprinkled with melody and traditional Heavy Metal vibes, superbly delivered with a punk-metal attitude and need for speed.
Since their formation in 2014, Acid Force have slowly been carving a niche for themselves in the underground metal scene through the Towards the Nuclear Load EP (2015) and debut full length album Atrocity for the Lust (2017). The departure of previous frontman Teodor Majerík in 2019 and the global pandemic could have spelled the band’s end, but with guitarist Andrej Petro stepping up to the microphone and the addition of Juraj Ondrejmiška on bass, Acid Force have now risen again, stronger than ever before. The recording process for World Targets In Megadeaths spanned four months of intense dedication to perfecting every detail. Acid Force poured their hearts and souls into each track, meticulously crafting a collection of songs that captures their evolution and growth as musicians. The result was enough to secure them with a record deal with Swedish label Jawbreaker Records.
“What caught my attention on World Targets In Megadeaths“, says label boss G.G. Sundin, “is that it is not stuck in the same old grooves that most thrash metal albums coming out nowadays are. Instead Acid Force have created a fresh mix of thrash, speed and traditional heavy metal.”
To give a glimpse of what awaits on World Targets In Megadeaths, the first single song, Praise the Atom, has just been released, accompanied by a professionally recorded music video. The single showcases the band’s renewed energy and their ability to blend ferocious riffs, thunderous drums and powerful vocals into a compelling sonic assault. Thrashers and speed freaks alike can expect an explosive and unrelenting musical experience that will leave them hungry for more!
World Targets In Megadeaths will be out on vinyl LP, music cassette, CD, and digitally on November 3, 2023.
