Huge Mailorder & Domestic Distro changes! Please read!

We no longer do Mail-order as you know it. Everyone will get Wholesale Prices from now on until further notice. In detail:

1. For ​t​he remaining part of ​the year we ask for a 50 € minimum order
2. We now only have one catalog.
3. Everyone pays wholesale prices + postage​

This means that everyone can order wholesale prices on everything and saves a lot of money. Books will receive a 20% discount on invoice.

This way I hope to reduce the stock levels this way and generate enough money to pay invoices and new releases.

Also, as said, you will save an incredible amount of money especially if you can afford a huge order. The difference will be massive!

Perhaps try consolidating your orders with local friends?

​A​nd if you really just want to order one copy of a Ruin Nation or Skuld Release feel free to drop me an email or order from our Bandcamp page.

Hi there - just a quick update. The NAUSEA Svart Records reissues are on the way to me and should arrive either today or tomorrow. All pre-orders will be packed this weekend and shipped next monday.

If you haven’t paid for your pre-order, NOW is the time to do so.

If you haven’t sent in your order yet, NOW is the time to do so before they are gone.

Hi there, another post that will get buried unless i pay for it. I wonder a bit why I bother with telegrams and facebooks and all that nonsense.

Anyway... the warehouse sweep goes on. I started to sort out single copies now and compiled a huge selection of great titles from all kinds of genres with a really fair price!

If you order 5 LPs (or Cds or 7“s) from this list I will include one extra of my choice for free!

Since there’s only 1-2 of each title available means that alternatives come in handy... if you want your extra copy.

I have not managed to list them all yet.. .so expect an update next week. There’s many more to come.

Click link in bio please and don’t forget the awesome bundle deals (swipe!) - Also many out of print books are up in the shöp (swipe again!)

Before I put them on Ebay or the antiquarian sites maybe one of you is interested? Don’t wanna sound like a greedy a-hole but please no haggling about prices...

Hi! - While digging deeper into the endless depths of the Ruin Nation storage unit, i came across some boxes full of partially long out of print books and pamphlets of all sorts.
Some of them are already uploaded to my online bazar… note, most of them are single copies. More will follow… btw/ the FLEX book is not for sale unless you make a good offer.

28/10/2024

First UPS shipment containing mostly the colored/ltd. versions of the DETESTATION reissues on havoc finally arrived today. Second parcel still bouncing around at the customs. Communication with them is a nightmare … as usual.

I will start shipping out pre-orders this week. i hope second parcel arrives here in the next two days.

25/10/2024

Hi - little update from ‚ere... - thanks to Eve and for the AXEFEAR „Prophetic End“ LPs that arrived yesterday safe and sound! I totally forgot I ordered a handful of ALEMENT „Banished Sphere“ MC’s - Two of the best „new“ bands in CRUST if you ask me. Total early MISERY vibes... heavy pounding, rumbling bulldozer crucial CRUST! Argh! Amazing!

I will upload the ALEMENT Tapes next week to the shop. If you want one to you pre-order... PM me. They’re gonna be a tenner...probably less! I will also ship out the pre-orders beginning next week. Still dealing with quite some Family issues here and time is rare for me.

Speaking of pre-orders... UPS parcels of DETESTATION and a few more Havoc releases) are sitting at the customs. Paid and all ... so they should be with me any day now!

HIATUS „Out Of Hand“ LP vinyl repress has arrived, just waiting for sleeves and inserts... wow. Busy days here... enjoy your weekend!

18/10/2024

SWIPE for a quick update from here. I’m horribly behind on my emails and stuff since I have to attend to family matters on a frequent basis more often now. I try to keep ahead of my mail but sometimes I need two days longer as usual. Apologies for that. I hope it stabilizes soonish.

Two incredible documents of the Norwegian Hardcore Punk scene:

Hi there, just a short note that the overdue repress of HIATUS’ “Out Of Hand” LP is finally on its way and hopefully here and ready to ship within the next 4 weeks.

An exclusive color vinyl version is available for Pre-Order Now.

Only 200 copies were pressed on solid Gold Vinyl. only available from Ruin Nation Records as well as at upcoming HIATUS gigs. Regular black vinyl is also available again within the next 4 weeks. - Get in touch for Wholesale Rates in case you run a distro yourself...

“Out of Hand” is the third album of these legendary Belgian crust punks and their first new recording since 1996’s “self titled (the brain)” MLP on Skuld Releases.

The album contains 12 new and one re-recorded track. and you can be sure that HIATUS did not lose any of their power and musical ferocity.

“What can you expect from the band whose last recording dates to 1996, which is prehistory in punk terms? Maturity, versatility and HIATUS signature. They definitely managed to maintain their main ingredients intact: the unique fast crust riffs, top notch sound production and the easily recognised Will’s vocals. [...] ‘Out of Hand’ is a very carefully written and well-conceived album with a brilliant sound production. You hear that the band was not in a hurry and the fruit they bore is more than satisfying!” - (Sanctus Propaganda)

“It seems that Hiatus have lost none of the power, anger and ferocity for which they were universally acclaimed in the anarcho-punk/crust/grind scene of the ’90s. Not only that, but they have managed to deliver an upgraded version of their classic sound, with more melody and impeccable guitar solos, while still retaining their trademark crust-grind aggression and brutal strife for militancy and political change lyrically” - (DIY Conspiracy)
