Nitrous "Outlaw Racer" Relentless, intense, intelligent — the sophomore output by Nitrous, entitled “Outlaw Racer”, represents the huge leap the band has taken towards brilliance in both composition and lyrics after the 2006 debut, while staying true to the rugged, no-holds-barred aesthetics of traditional thrash metal as well as the passion for extreme machineries. The world’s first and foremost drag racing thrash band has grown darker, fiercer and less predictable, which tracks like “Black Cargo Cult”, “Core of Molten Fire” and “Summons to Hephaestus” clearly demonstrate. 
Taak "Läbi halli kivi" Taak’s sophomore output, the vintage-studio-recorded and analogue mixed sequel to “Koerapööriöö” (2006) is weirder, more oppressive and haunting. The embittered wit, the spirit of classic doom rock and the decades-old approach are still there, but tinged with juicier sound, aplomb for experimentation and compositional maturity. “Läbi halli kivi” (‘Through Stone of Gray’) is a combination of dystopian future inferno, omphaloskeptic purgatory and restrospective nostalgia paradise.  |
Loits “Tears in sky of grayish tone In quiet mourn the wind doth moan Broken heart and broken bones Frozen on the lips is the oath sworn It is a day of festive mood A friend of mine is accoladed All gentlefolk in fancy suits Proudly standing by the casket” Loits as the conscience and spokesperson of Estonian nationalism, a manifest to the sufferings of the Estonian nation, a pillar for future generations. “Must Album” June 4, 2007  
THE SIN:DECAY As if conjured up by sorcery, a gargantuan statue of a pseudo-Kalevipoeg — the gigantic hero of Estonian national epic — is about to be erected on the Southern coast of the Gulf of Finland. And who should we find in the drakkar embraced by the southbound wave-wading monsterman but a bunch of panicking, scared-to-death citizens of the world, most probably Finns? “An Estonian never returns home empty-handed,” is the comment of the exited participants. Which means that Nailboard Records that has thus far been dedicated to helping along local artists, should quit wasting time. A hefty hammer is sternly gripped in a heavy hand and a new nail is hammered in the board already before preparations for the pouring of Kalevipoeg’s concrete boots can be initiated. “Industrial metal with heavy electronic programming and distorted vocals — the Sin:Decay aren´t a million miles away from the likes of Kovenant and Deathstars.” These words found in the 159th issue of Metal Hammer should suffice as introduction to our freshest victim. The limited mini album by THE SIN:DECAY will be released in an 8-panel digipak format on February 26, 2007. The fact that a scoundrel of local origin (and probably known to those of you that are well-versed in the Estonian metal scene) has joined forces in this venture with the ex-members of ...and Oceans, should stir up some pre-release buzz... 
Goresoerd The unseasonally snowless, humid and warm winter propitiates putrefaction. Paracites, bacilli, mutated germs and other creatures of the not-so-benign that Father Frost should have sent back to their hideous maker a long time ago, are out and about, shamelessly prowling the dim streets and harassing honest citizens. The busy people at Nailboard headquarters were as unprotected as the next label... So it is with bitterness that we are now forced to admit defeat to something particularly gruesome and atrocious. In order to (literally) save our own hides, we reluctantly shook hands with a quintuplet of zombified veterans of the local metal scene, neatly fitting under the handle of Goresoerd. Already in the beginning of February they will collectively regurgitate the ingredients necessary for an album boldly titled “Goremarket Mid-Prices”. To be sure, this bodes nothing but travesty and violation to the beat of the most ghastly music ever to have arisen from the Baltic region — old-school zombie-goregrind! 
Nitrous Thrash metal project Nitrous masterminded by drag racing champion Lauri Kuriks effectively combines fast, powerful and deafening machines as subject matter with fast, powerful and deafening music. The band incorporates the unfathomable appeal of ultra-powerful mechanics, the suffocating enchantment of superhuman speeds and the enlightening effects of sound barrages that challenge human aural endurance into a one-of-a-kind thrash metal revelation. Relentless, intense, intelligent — the sophomore output by Nitrous, entitled “Outlaw Racer”, represents the huge leap the band has taken towards brilliance in both composition and lyrics after the 2006 debut, while staying true to the rugged, no-holds-barred aesthetics of traditional thrash metal as well as the passion for extreme machineries. 
Manatark One of the most successful Estonian extreme metal bands Manatark, who during the writing of this caption are touring Europe together with the famous Finnish fiends Impaled Nazarene, are now also directly associated with Nailboard Records. First of all, we are continuing the ‘Gems from Estonian Metal Vault’ series with the digitally remastered digipak re-release of Manatark’s ‘Viimanegi Veri’ album, which will hit the stores on May 5, 2006. Secondly, Nailboard Records partially supported the recording of the new Manatark album ‘Crimson Hours’, thanks to which we now own the distribution rights to the aforementioned release in Scandinavia, including Estonia. ‘Crimson Hours’ will be released on April 21, 2006. 
Taak How does music called ugri-doom sound, you´re asking? Nailboard Records is proud to educate you. Having adopted the dead-on depressive name Taak (meaning "heavy burden"), Estonia´s oldest doom-metal band Dawn Of Gehenna now sing in Estonian and are ready to release their first full-length "Koerapööriöö" (loosely translatable as "the night the dogs turn"). Witness the birth of a new style of music! What other nation but Estonian would spawn such dark and slow riff-rock spiced with such bitter humour? After all, we are topping the list of world´s most suicidal countries and have imbibed kaamos (SAD, seasonal affective disorder) since infancy. Already nailed: East Trading Wang | Echosilence | Goresoerd | Human Ground | Loits | Manatark | Metsatöll | Must Missa | Nitrous | Pedigree | Taak | Tharaphita | THE SIN:DECAY |
