On September 5, one of Aussie’s longest-running Black Metal collectives will release their eighth full-length studio LP, “Wretch”, via Northern Silence / Brilliant Emperor. This record sees PS in their most grim state. A volume of death is “Wretch” and the overall pace of the record is vastly different when compared to their previous “Devil’s Hammer” LP, which was released just last year.

The site will be undergoing a period of inactivity until further notice.

Due to several issues, technical and otherwise, the site will be going on hiatus until further notice.

This basically means there will be no news posts, and minimal supervision.

You will still be able to use the site as normal during this period (whenever the server is actually working), although album submissions may take longer to be approved.

In the long-term I hope to find a proper solution. Until then, it is what it is.

Cheers!
