ORDER FROM CHAOS

Old death/thrash metal band from the USA. Today I received Stillbirth Machine on LP reissued recently by NWN (GREAT WORK!!!!). Only knew one demo and Helmkamp's work on the great Angelcorpse. Needless to say that I'm completely blown away by "Stillbirth Machine". How is it possible that I've never heard this before. Spinned this already 5 times in a row and I KNOW it will stay with me the rest of my life. It has this extreme furious edge, total raw death/thrashing terror. Ahhh, do I love that guitarsound. Everything falls into place here. Who else loves this?

Yeah, tis a great (old) one for sure. I was spinning this a lot back in the days. They are noisy and have sth that reminds me remotely of early VoiVod as well. Iamanalienfromanotherworld huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaergh!!!!!!!!! Deranged as Angel Corpse will never be. Yup, that's the proper word.

Stillbirth Machine is a fucking classic. So deranged... Great sound there.

Deranged is a good way to describe Stillbirth Machine! One thing which has to praised also are Helmkamps vocals!

INCREDIBLE album! Absolute classic!

'Forsake Me This Mortal Coil' is a timeless classic of the genre...

DAWN BRINGER is also very good!

Awesome logo too...

4 years back I had 6 copies of "Stillbirth Machine " LP(Decapitated Records).These gave me for free one of old my friends(he ran small distro back in 1992-97),but I traded these,and now I have just one copy.Excellent stuff.

I got this LP last week as well(the NWN! reissue). It definitely lives up to the praise that it receives. It's full of so much ferocity and rage..maybe ONE of the angriest records I have ever heard. The vocals are awesome too as someone already pointed out. I hadn't heard about it until a couple of months ago so I know exactly how you feel. Thankfully I didn't miss out on this reissue.

I have the version on wild rags and it's excellent chaotic and raw death metal and I agree with the VOIVOD referenced above. I also have their demo tapes "crushed infamy " and "will to power" as well as the "jericho trumpets" 7" and "the plateau of invincibility" 10". I never got "dawnbringer" back then. Excellent band!! and I was only looking at the NWN rereleases the other day and they look super indeed.

I used to have the Greek CD of Stillbirth Machine & I can't recommend it 'cos the sound's all warped & wonky. Cheers to NWN! for rescuing it.

I really want a copy of it.... I think NWN is out though.

Does the reissue include the original artwork in any form? Funny, Yosuke haven't stated what DH version includes this time.

I have both die-hards. The LP's are gatefold and come in a slipcase. You get the usual poster, patch and sticker.

The slipcase has a type of gold leaf print on it. You can see the picture here

I don't have the original so I don't know if the album cover is the same

Looks beautiful as always with NWN. I have tape version of Decapitated. Giger cover may be more appropriate though.

Damn that looks good. I have the original Decapitated LP so I'll stick with it. And those diehard are probably sold out ages ago...
