Jawbreaker Records are proud to announce the release of Razorvoid‘s debut full-length album Into the Void, out today on vinyl LP, CD, and digital formats!

Formed in 2021 out of a shared obsession with old-school death metal, thrash, d-beat punk and traditional heavy metal, Razorvoid have spent the last few years sharpening their sound into a relentless force by drawing inspiration from bands such as Motörhead, Anti-Cimex and Repugnant. Following their self-released Sonic Decay cassette and the critically acclaimed Terror In Time EP, the Swedish quartet returns with their most ferocious material to date.

Into the Void delivers eleven new tracks of razor-sharp riffs, pounding rhythms and apocalyptic intensity. Rooted in the aggression of classic extreme metal while fueled by the raw energy of punk, the album captures Razorvoid at their most focused and uncompromising. Fast, heavy and overflowing with attitude, these songs are built for the stage and designed to leave a mark. The result is a crushing collection of songs that channels chaos, speed and power into a compact but devastating release.

Since their formation, Razorvoid have built a reputation for explosive live performances and a no-nonsense approach to metal. With Into the Void, they push even further into the darkness, delivering a soundtrack for a world spiraling towards total oblivion. Prepare to delve Into the Void!

Hailing from Ireland, Falchion deliver pounding heavy metal built on the sound of the Emerald Isle such as Thin Lizzy and Mama’s Boys. Brought together by the shared love of their country’s heavy rock and sharpened by the influence of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, notably Iron Maiden, Satan and Raven, they aim to show that the sound has not been lost, but instead carried on with their relentless twin guitar attack. A ruthless assault on the senses guaranteed, they are ready to show that true Irish heavy metal is alive and dangerous!

In collaboration with the mighty Underground Highers (UGH) we are happy to finally be able to present the vinyl version of Hunger‘s debut EP Ruler of the Wolves!

Built on a haunted, cursed vibe and inspired by the mid-’80s sound, Hunger blends sharp, memorable riffing with explosive, aggressive vocals. It’s heavy/speed metal with identity – made by underground maniacs for underground maniacs.

The EP also contains a guest appearance from Aitor Navarro (ex-vocalist of Hitten), and a cover of the obscure Stormwitch song Beware the Demons.

Jawbreaker Records are proud to announce the 10th Anniversary CD Re-Issue of Acid Force‘s debut EP, Towards the Nuclear Load.

April 26th 2016 marked not only the 30th anniversary of the infamous Chernobyl tragedy but also the very first official physical release of Acid Force: the raw Chernobyl-inspired radioactive EP Towards The Nuclear Load. This release marked the beginning of the Slovakian band’s remarkable rise to power and to this day remains a testament of thrashing heavy metal might.

After years of radioactive exposure, this monster of an EP has now mutated into the newly remastered 10th anniversary edition. Focusing on rawness and authenticity, Peter Kravec’s mastering highlights the influence of 80s metal with a production inspired by the band’s idols as well as the engineer’s personal experience of discovering thrash metal in communism-chained Czechoslovakia in the late 80s.

Towards the Nuclear Load – 10th Anniversary Edition is out now via Jawbreaker Records to finally complete the band’s catalogue and fullfil demand for a CD version of this cornerstone of the band’s discography which has long been out of print.

Jawbreaker Records are proud to announce the upcoming release of speed metal band Meurtrier‘s debut full-length album Messe de Fer!

Forged in the shadows of Québec City in 2023, Meurtrier emerged from the ranks of seasoned veterans of the Québec and Montréal metal underground with one objective: to resurrect the fierce spirit of classic heavy and speed metal through a distinctly French-Canadian lens.

Drawing inspiration from the savage energy of mid-’80s European and American metal, Meurtrier delivers a dark and relentless assault of razor-sharp riffs, pounding rhythms, and haunting melodies, all carried by French-language lyrics steeped in occult mysticism and epic grandeur. Their sound blends the raw aggression of speed metal with the atmosphere and weight of traditional heavy metal, creating a universe both menacing and triumphant.

Following the release of their first demo in 2024 through Jawbreaker Records, the band returns in 2026 with a renewed lineup and visual signature as well as their debut full-length album, Messe de Fer (French for Iron Mass). The current incarnation of Meurtrier features Will Verrault and Martin Paquet on guitars, Tony Verrault on vocals, Jeff Tremblay on bass, and Randy behind the drums — a five-piece force driven by passion, intensity, and unwavering devotion to the steel of a bygone era.

Despite only a handful of live appearances so far, Meurtrier has already earned a reputation for high-energy performances fueled by the relentless momentum of their songs and the commanding charisma of frontman Tony Verrault. On stage, the band channels pure metallic ferocity, leaving audiences caught between darkness, speed, and fire.

With their debut album looming on the horizon, Meurtrier stands ready to carve its name into the global new wave of true heavy metal!

Recommended listening for fans of ADX, Sortilège, Agent Steel, Exciter and Living Death.

Jawbreaker Records are proud to present the cassette version of the new mini-album from Sandstorm: Dungeon of Death!

Imagine three black-clad warriors galloping across the battlefield at full speed towards you, with weapons held high and the clash of thunder overhead… but instead of a swift, merciless death, what assaults you is the charming heavy metal of SANDSTORM!

Sandstorm was formed in 2017 by Swedish brothers Stevie Whiteless and Reptile Anderson, and joined by Canadian drummer PJ “The Butcher” LaGriffe. Inspired by underground Swedish metal, the NWOBHM, shining studs and black leather, Sandstorm are the perfect embodiment of what real HEAVY METAL is all about.

Ever since the twin releases of Time to Strike (2019) and Desert Warrior (2021), both released to international acclaim by Dying Victims Productions, true metallers have been craving a new Sandstorm record – and it seems that those prayers are about to be answered with yet another mini-album, Dungeon of Death!

In the words of Jawbreaker boss G.G. Sundin: “Sandstorm is one of my absolute favourite bands in the contemporary underground scene. So when the chance came to once again team up with Dying Victims and take care of the cassette edition of Dungeon of Death, there could be no hesitation. Victory or Valhalla!”

The format is truly suiting to the power-trio, as their punchiness is amplified further, giving an immediacy to their largely patient march & gallop. Compared to its predecessors, Dungeon of Death sees Sandstorm bringing out the rock ‘n’ roll roots of ancient heavy metal even more than before. And when paired with the cleaner production style – warm, vintage, and very nearly time-traveled from 1982 – a certain mystical atmosphere arises from that dungeon…and with it, medieval metal might! Sandstorm bring you back to life – tonight!

MIDNATT, Sweden’s filthy and rowdy heavy metal powerhouse, are back in action with their much awaited debut LP: Skräckfylld Förtjusning. The album contains 10 anthems of pure Heavy Metal, sung entirely in their Swedish mother tongue. 

The album channels the same primitive fire that fueled the early days of the First Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal movement, while carving out its own distinct identity rooted in darkness, grime, and steel. Produced in the dark woods of Värmland, Sweden with an ear for analog power and authenticity, Skräckfylld Förtjusning somehow manages to capture the essence of true heavy metal without being weighed down by any unnecessary frills.

For fans of: Heavy Load, Axe Witch, Gotham City, Jonah Quizz and other 80s Swedish Heavy Metal. This is heavy metal as it was meant to be: rough, gritty, powerful and alive!

“Ni tjatar om gamla band, men Midnatt är nu….”
