Texas Metal Underground Records releases free 2016 digital music sampler.

Texas Metal Underground (TMU) Records have released their first ever free digital music sampler featuring one full mp3 song from their entire re-issued curated catalog releases.

TMU Records has provided the following mission statement:

Since 2008, TMU Records has been unearthing lost and unheard musical gems from the fertile underground Texas metal scene of the mid 1980’s through the early 1990’s.

To preserve and share this heavy musical legacy, the label focuses primarily on bands who burned bright, briefly, but disappeared without a trace before anyone could take much notice. Bands who managed to get a demo recorded but for reasons unknown never shared it beyond a close circle of friends and fans.

Whether on vinyl, CD, or cassette, all TMU Records releases are given lavish treatment with custom packaging, unseen photos, show flyers, interviews, informative booklets, rare bonus tracks and extras for the denim and leather die-hards.

For 2016, look for upcoming deluxe vinyl releases from Karion, Las Cruces, Bad Heaven, SSR, and more!

TMU Records digital music sampler tracklist:

1. Broken Teeth - Flame Thrower

2. Baron Steele - Night of the Wolves

3. Sentinel - Panzer Attack

4. Wicked Angel - People of the Black Circle

5. Meddallion - Stormbringer

6. Final Vengeance - Darkside

DARK DESIGN Debut Available for Pre-order

Heaven and Hell Records is now taking pre-orders for Prey for the Future,  the debut from Raleigh, NC technical power thrashers DARK DESIGN.  The album will out worldwide on September 10th with all pre-orders  shipping at the end of August. The digital version is available now.  To order, visit this location.     Since early 2010, DARK DESIGN, comprised of members Ray Lewis (guitar),  Mike Joyner (guitar), Andrew Bertrand (vocals), and rhythm section  Matt (bass) and Robbie Mercer (drums), have built a strong fan base in their  local metal scene. Their technical prowess and progressive song structuring  have often been compared to that of Death, Toxik, and Anacrusis.  As buzz of the band began to grow they were requested to play the  2012 Warriors of Metal Festival in Ohio. Meanwhile, the band remained  focused on material for their debut album. Prey for the Future was recorded  earlier this year by John E Wooten(Widow U.S) and mastered by Jamie King  at The Basement Studios.  www.facebook.com/darkdesignband Heaven and Hell Records is pleased to offer their newest digital sampler,  Over the Top, as a free download. The comp features 21 tracks from  DARK DESIGN, WITCHES MARK, TWISTED TOWER DIRE and more.  Download Over the Top free of charge  at www.heavenandhellrecords.com/blog/?page_id=95. www.heavenandhellrecords.com www.facebook.com/heavenandhellrecords
