Release schedule 2021

Lately I have been getting a lot of questions regarding the upcoming Jawbreaker releases (thanks everyone for the interest!). With the pandemic still ongoing in many countries, it’s hard to give exact release dates as there might be delays in both production and delivery times. But here are the best guesses currently:

  • Mystic Storm – From the Ancient Chaos (cassette): June 2021
  • Guilliotino – Conjuration (cassette): June 2021
  • Rising – Long Way Tour: Live in Sweden 1983 (cassette): ???
  • Mystic Storm – From the Ancient Chaos (LP): October 2021
  • Tyrannosatan – Katakombernas Kakofoni (LP+cassette): November 2021

Pre-orders for the June releases will open soon. For the other releases, each pre-order will open as soon as I am confident about the release date. Furthermore, there are a bunch of really cool releases in the pipeline which I hope I can announce soon. Thanks for your patience and continued support! Long live the underground!

Jawbreaker’s first LP release out soon!

Jawbreakers!

I’m very excited to announce that the very first LP release on Jawbreaker Records will be coming later this year. The band in question is no other than St.Petersburg’s own MYSTIC STORM – a heavy, thrashing, furious and razor sharp metal assault.

Those who dare can listen to the first track of the album here: https://mysticstorm.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-ancient-chaos

Mystic Storm’s debut album “Из хаоса древних времен” (“From the Ancient Chaos“) will be unleashed on LP and cassette on Jawbreaker Records as well as a special limited cassette edition on Reforestation Records.

More information regarding pre-orders will come later. Stay tuned, stay true, and never forget to support the underground.

New editions of Mindless Sinner tapes out now!

After have being sold out for a long time, both of the groundbreaking 80’s releases by Swedish Heavy Metal legends Mindless Sinner are now back in improved cassette editions on Jawbreaker Records.

The releases in question are of course the Master of Evil EP from 1983 and the debut album Turn on the Power from 1986. Both have gotten a new layout since the first Jawbreaker version and the dark colour theme will look great next to the first edition if you already have it in your collection. Like before, Master of Evil comes with six bonus tracks and Turn on the Power comes with nine (!) alternative recordings and rare demo songs. What is new this time is that the bonus tracks on Master of Evil have been re-mixed specifically for this new tape version (well, to be honest the first edition were supposed to have this mix as well… but due to the alien factor it was the original mix that ended up on the tape). These new versions really makes the songs shine, and you can here some cool details which where previously not audible (like on the outro to We All Go Back).

Get them while they last – only available on Jawbreaker Records!

The EP contains 25 minutes of relentless heavy metal spread over 6 songs; four new anthems as well as rerecorded versions of the two hits from the now long sold-out demo tape. So regardless if you loved the first tape or missed the chance to get it, Rites of Damnation has something for you. Prepare to be crushed!

About the band
Commando plays dark heavy metal without remorse and comes from the deep woods of Värmland, Sweden.

2020 Is At Hand

Jawbreakers! The year is nearly at its end, and another successful one for Jawbreaker Records. Five heavy tape releases were forged in the Jawbreaker furnaces during the year (Mindless Sinner, Mortal Whisper, Total Inferno, Aquilla and Booze Control) and orders broke all records thanks to you maniacs! 2020 will start off at full speed at high level with some must-have releases to be announced soon.

However, some things are bound to change slightly for the worse. On January 1st 2020, the Swedish postal service will raise their prices dramatically, and shipping fees will unfortunately have to change for orders made through jawbreaker.se correspondingly. Shipping inside Sweden will be increased by nearly 20% and international shipping fees will increase by roughly 10%. Hopefully you will all continue to find the prices on the actual products here modest enough to don’t let the increased shipping prices defer you from placing an order. You can’t stop steel!
