Hope to see all of you maniacs at The Abyss on March 14-16!
We are very excited to announce that we have inked a deal with Speedrush from Greece to release their second full length album on all formats later this year.
Speedrush were formed in Athens, Greece in 2005 with a mission to play traditional Speed and Thrash Metal (yes, the old-school, stubborn way!). The debut full length album “Endless War” was released in 2017, and has been followed by many gigs in Greece and abroad, both on festivals and in support of legendary acts such as Razor, Tankard, Coroner, Necronomicon, Sinister and Legion of the Damned. Now as the work on the group’s second album is nearing completion, Speedrush are more than ready to summon the metalheads and speedfreaks from all over the world in their quest of unleashing Speed Metal mayhem to the masses.
Stay tuned for more news!

Sweden’s mythological Heavy Metal newcomers Templar gives us their Black Knight debut demo, and Jawbreaker Records are ready to present this first conquest to the world through the only proper format for such a release – cassette.
The raw charm of glisteningly mystical guitars and earth-shattering bass is a definitively epic combination. Add to this some crazed, cymbal-heavy drumming and wailing vocals and you have the formula for some glorious Heavy Metal music. Melody and grit coexist in an enchanting and fantastical space that will appeal to the underground lovers of something a bit more rough around the edges but showing the huge potential of a young band with great songs. The catchy choruses and wild verses plough forth in a most intense and gripping manner that is a great joy to behold.
Across five tracks (an intro and four full songs), there is plentiful excitement and dynamics to keep you surging alongside this energetic band. From Steve Harris worshipping bass lines to electric shredding, the furious and unpolished passion of Templar is definitely going to win you over on this demo which serves the purpose of planting their flag prior to world domination. A riveting medieval atmosphere and wonderful musicianship is surely something no headbanger will turn away from. Fall at the sword of the black knight…
Limited to 100 copies on white tape and 100 copies on black tape.
Ever since forming in 2009, Trastorned have unleashed a killer array of demos and most notably their debut album, Into the Void. Jawbreaker Records will now be giving this contemporary cult Chilean classic a tape edition.
Much like many of their countrymen, these maniacs draw a range of influences from the more extreme end of Thrash Metal. Be it German, American or even South American, the horde of violent raging barbarity fire on all cylinders and worship the gods of old. Blasphemous brutality is unleashed with its blackened edge from the very earlier seconds of this record with its thunderous bass guitar, ripping rhythm and lacerating leads. The punk-tinged vocals add further attitude to the hellfire, meanwhile the drums are utterly relentless. If you like your Thrash Metal crazed and hungry for violence, then search no further, Trastorned have you covered!
For the entire (if short) running time, these lunatics ensure you will bang or be banged by true metallic fury. Of course being a South American band, they somehow harness the most bestial extremity and equally traditional elements in a perfect harmony of heinous heaviness, crushing all weakness with their pulverising sound of destruction. Perhaps some wimps were harmed in the making of this beast, but whatever the cost, it is worth it to rage with Trastorned on Into The Void and feel the 80s cult come alive on cassette format, just the way such killer music should be heard. Witness the melodies, stomps, hysteria and total mayhem be invoked as the tape player spits out total venom…
Red tape limited to 50 copies, blue tape limited to 150 copies.
