This is the official Yperano Records promotional video for our two vinyl releases. (further down below you will find a video clip by each of our two bands)
This label promo video along with the Medieval Death and Mordicus promo videos (see below), is the only promotion that we will do for our two releases. Our two releases are printed in 100 + 100 copies! So, IF you like this type of music, buy the LPs.
The video includes instrumental music parts from BOTH bands. However, all the songs in both albums have lyrics!
P.S: The letter Y is pronounced as E (as in “e-mail”, “e-commerce”), then the accent falls on the letter a. Phonetically, it sounds like E-perAno.
Copies of the Medieval Death LP + DVD and the Mordicus “Rights ‘n Trials” LP are only sold here, so buy them directly from the label. NOT available on physical shops, mail-orders, or streaming services.
Each of those two releases is limited to 100 black vinyl copies only. No other formats will be printed.
We are posting all items from Greece.

Here is a great Mordicus presentation video of the LP and a mention to their music style too:
Very detailed review and useful explanation of the band’s style of music:
Top dude Aaron Mutha Alamare our favoured YouTuber, talks about the Mordicus album and likes the fact that he can understand all lyrics (obviously the background music whilst he speaks is not from the Mordicus album)
Mordicus came up with an amazing sounding album that has cost an arm and a leg to produce. We were unable (because of the limitations of the vinyl format, meaning how many songs can possibly fit in a vinyl record before the sound quality gets compromised) and definitely unwilling, to include all the songs that were recorded. All the fillers (that were interrupting the flow), stayed out of our vinyl release. Even if we had available space, we wouldn’t add a filler.
The songs that we have included in the Mordicus Rights ‘n Trials LP are all very well executed, delivered with passion, you WILL headbang and mosh for hours!
Note: their song “Lifestyle”, the third song on side A, has some thought provoking lyrics, that require a mention!
“I have my God-given right
to protect and defend…
my self, my house, my car,
my God, my dog and my sense,
my market economy,
my guns and my pipes
my multinational corporations,
their capital and their lies!”
Due to budget restrictions and technical limitations, the D.I.Y promotional videos that the bands have created, are nowhere near as good as their music. Their music definitely deserved better videos!
Medieval Death (LP + DVD):
current selling price is: 24 British pounds (28 Euros, or 30 US dollars)
The Medieval Death LP comes with a free 2 hour DVD of previously unreleased material. The LP comes with a lyric / photos sheet and a 4 page booklet that details the band’s past, their gigs and interesting and funny stories. BTW, Euronymous (R.I.P) wanted to sign the band to his label!
[That’s right, Euronimous would be Øystein Aarseth, a central figure in the early Norwegian black metal scene, co-founder and guitarist of the pioneering black metal band Mayhem and owner of the extreme metal record label Deathlike Silence Productions and the infamous record shop Helvete]
Please note that the LP songs and the DVD recordings have been fully remastered.
Plus, the LP contains a truly unique, newly recorded jazzy cover version / remake of their own song “Moments of Silence”.
The 2 hour DVD contains live performances and rehearsal videos, TV and radio interviews, recently re-worked versions and old unreleased songs that you have NEVER heard before! 
Top dude Aaron Mutha Alamare our favoured YouTuber, talks about how much he liked the Medieval Death album (obviously the background music whilst he speaks is not from the Medieval Death album)
Medieval Death was a Thrash Metal band from Thessaloniki, in Hellas (Greece). They were only around for 3 years, and sadly only managed to release a demo with 4 songs that received glowing reviews. They played a few gigs in Hellas (they never managed to play “abroad”) but whilst they were still operational, they managed to receive two offers to release an official album. One of those offers came from Euronymous / Øystein Aarseth, who was a central figure in the early Norwegian black metal scene, co-founder and guitarist of the pioneering black metal band Mayhem, owner of the extreme metal record label Deathlike Silence Productions and the infamous record shop Helvete.
All 5 Medieval Death band members agreed to having their work from 1989 – 1991 released officially. We feel that it IS important to make clear that every single band member was on board and contributed to a degree. Some additional video material was recorded in 2022 to help widen the appeal of the Yperano records release.
The Medieval Death LP comes with a free 2 hour DVD of previously unreleased material.
The LP comes with a 4 page booklet that details the band’s past, plus a separate lyric / photos sheet.
As of 24-11-2023, the Medieval Death selling price for the 12″ + DVD is: 24 British pounds, 28 Euros, or 30 US dollars. www.Yperano.com

Here is the original studio version of the above song, that can be found on the LP:
Here is a video mix of a Medieval Death song that is available on the free DVD. This video wasn’t professionally mixed by a qualified engineer as it was basically created to showcase the abilities of the 17 year old guitarist. (The DVD also contains individual video performances of the drummer AND the guitarist).
Please play this video loud! It does not sound good when the volume is low.
Drums, vocals and bass on this video by the 3 original band members. The singer was unable to appear on the video, but his vocals are included in the mix. The two original guitarists didn’t to partake, so all guitar parts on this video come curtesy of the bassist’s son G.E (George). Interestingly, George is the godson of Gus G, guitarist of Firewind / ex Ozzy Osbourne! check the video of G jamming with Gus G.
Absolutely KILLER drumming on the song. Here is the analysis of the song’s drum parts :
We have guitar riffs spread over a half time drum tempo, then the drums are galloping over some thrash metal riffing.
Then a 5/4 tempo divided into eighth notes with groupings of 3-3-2-2, where the song returns to thrashing. Then four meters in 5/4, divided into eighth notes with groupings of 3-3-2-2.
Then four meters of 4/4, back for four meters back to 5/4, then four meters of 4/4, followed by a 2 meter fill and the icing on the cake comes with a 3/4 tempo.
In closing, we have a repeat of all these different rhythmic patterns.
Let’s be real, the Medieval Death LP & DVD is definitely our label’s best ever release. Offers absofuckinglutley great value for your money (a 2 hour free DVD, a 4 page booklet, a 2 page inner, plus an amazing new and EXCLUSIVE cover version of “Moments of Silence” on the LP etc.). Yperano spent for a whole year to finalise the Medieval Death LP & DVD;
Originally, we had NOTHING to work with. We didn’t know what to write (but somehow ended with the 4 page booklet), we didn’t know if we would be able to find enough photos, enough videos for the DVD, the rare radio interview (that made it to the DVD and is subtitled in English). Given that originally we had nothing to our disposal, it is absolutely amazing that we ended up with so much material.
Musically speaking, this band offers compositions and a style of playing that are way more interesting than what is contained in the other 3 Yperano releases (including the Supernot and Less Than Human CD only releases from the Yperano Records distant past). They definitely have the most interesting and clever drumming and the most unique singing style too.
Important:
Every Medieval Death song (on the DVD and on the LP) has been remastered and now has a massively improved sound. If you have previously heard old versions of their songs on the Internet that haven’t been remastered, you should know that those are below average sound transfers that YouTubers (and Internet uploaders of files) made on their own, without any input from the record label or the band. So if you are listening to those, you are NOT listening to the new, superior quality remastered vinyl versions.
Important:
The DVD consists of 100% unreleased material / unreleased new songs that are NOT included on the vinyl album. They are exclusive to the DVD, they are unique DVD only versions.
(Thank you Scott for not forgetting to show the DVD and all the extras and inserts!)
(Thank you Scott for not forgetting to show the DVD and also for mentioning how expensive it was to produce an album that had so much additional stuff included!)

in the underground, image doesn’t mean a thingwhen the substance lacks, it’s plain for all to see
if the deal is right, then respect is where it should be.”
… If you intend on putting any files (copyrighted materials) on the Internet (audio from the vinyl or parts from the DVD) please don’t do it. We have printed a tiny amount of records. We will massively be in the red even if we sell every single copy of Medieval Death and Mordicus. So please don’t make our lives even harder. Have some respect! illegal uploads are NOT helping bands, or their record labels. Maybe huge metal labels might care slightly less about illegal uploads, but we are a tiny label and we don’t want that type of “support“. If you still feel hell bound on being a total cunt, please take one of these tablets
to cure yourself and avoid having us chasing you and remove your illegal internet files by force. (We had to do that already, on a number of occasions!)
… If you “work” with underground bands, let us know. Maybe we could arrange an interview for your ‘zine, your YouTube channel, your Podcast, your mainstream tabloid newspaper (just kidding, calm down please), whatever it is that you represent or work / “work” for. (The Medieval Death band members can communicate in German, English, Greek).
If you want to react to the Mordicus or the Medieval Death video (or both videos), you can do that and have the content that you will create monetised by YouTube, you can use both videos charge free and we will not strike your content with a copyright claim (for the music contained within the videos).
We are both unwilling and unable to pay for promotion, so if you “want to” cooperate with the aim to get paid for you “cooperation“, forget it.
So, good people of the Interwebs, that’s all for now. See you at the Mosh pit! Respect yourselves, respect each other.
