Rising: Swedish H.M. from 1983

Formed in 1980, Rising from Vänersborg is one of the forgotten gems from the golden era of Swedish Heavy Metal. The band never released any full-length album, but managed to deliver an onslaught of demo tapes and 7″ singles throughout the 80’s.

In 1983, the band organized their first full tour, and the final show in their home town was recorded professionally. These recordings have only been collecting dust until now though, but thanks to this upcoming release from Jawbreaker Records the world will finally have the chance to hear this live concert for the first time!

This must-have tape of pure live Swedish Heavy Metal also comes with liner notes from original drummer Lars Berger. Limited to 200 copies (50 on silver tape and 150 on black tape). Available to a special price during the pre-order!

Pre-order for Mystic Storm tapes open now!

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!

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!
