Lauded for its raw black metal sound and dark, eerie atmosphere, "Cruel World of Dreams and Fears" is filled with melodic riffs, wailing vocals and shrieks of desolation that harnesses a sense of haunted romanticism. Catchy, daring and uncomplicated, DRAUGVEIL has managed to capture the true essence of pure, raw black metal that heralds back to the older days of the Norwegian pioneers whist simultaneously offering something new and exciting.

Gold double vinyl limited to 500 copies

Draconian Times" is Paradise Lost's most recognized and successful album and for good reason, they managed to take a genre of Metal that didn't much recognition until the mid-90's and take it to the next level.

Doom metal and more specifically goth metal itself didn't exist that much in the 80's....outside of say Candlemass and Celtic Frost just barely touching upon the basics of the genre, and they did so with style, but nobody had done it like Paradise Lost.

Paradise Lost sound is pure grimly doom/death metal. "Draconian Times" starts out with a somber-sounding piano, excellent way to start off an album.
"Hallowed Land" is one of favorite song: the lead guitar work of Gregor Mackintosh makes this an epic fist-banger.
"The Last Time" is probably their most blatant attempt at making light of the Goth sound with guitars for a huge hit.
After that depressing-induced song comes the way more upbeat and angrier "Once Solemn".
"Elusive Cure" is one song that should have been the leading single off this album: Gregor just lets his fingers hit those wailing, somber melodies.

This is one of the better cuts off the album. "Yearn For Change" continues the song and picks the mood up a notch.
So this album is their creative peak between their older material and the new style of the band.
Even though recently their last two albums have gone back to their original style of their older material, it's all just more of a nostalgia trip.

There's enough doom and gloom here to almost combat with the previous 2 albums and enough progression that surpasses the rest of their discography.

Charnel Passages” is true dark death metal majesty in every sense of the word and will stand as the death metal monument of 2015. With dark atmosphere, pummeling brutality, and skillful playing all rendered with a clear yet massive, warm, and natural sounding production, “Charnel Passages” will make its impact on the death metal scene and stand as a modern-day death metal milestone.

"All Christianity Ends" is a brutally-focused reminder that while the infamous Finnish Black/Death Metal legends continue to evolve, develop and even 'refine' their hellish sound over recent full-lengths, the elemental building blocks of classic ARCHGOAT remain sequenced in their DNA.

An essential companion piece to "Worship the Eternal Darkness" and a natural continuation of 1993's "Angelcunt" EP, Ritual Butcherer (guitars/composition) and Lord Angelslayer (bass/vocals) here vomit forth with the magickal energy, raw guttural power and bowel-churning savagery to which we've become accustomed since the band’s 1989 formation.

4 bludgeoning, inimitable new tracks to reaffirm that oldest adage: you can never have enough ARCHGOAT.

Pressed on clear heavy vinyl w/ black & blood red splatters. Comes with a 4-page 12"x12" booklet, A2 poster and a download card. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.

32 years after formation, Finnish iconoclasts ARCHGOAT stand monolithic as one of the most nightmarishly singular bands in extreme music. Helmed with preternatural telepathy by twin brothers Ritual Butcherer and Lord Angelslayer, newest emission "Worship the Eternal Darkness" is a typically depraved set built to mock our contemporary malaise. Continuing on from preceding album "The Luciferian Crown" the hoof-pressure is slightly alleviated from the throat, the band's patented synthesis of occult Finnish Black/Death Metal, harsh Punk, primal Thrash and Grindcore is tempered here with elements of melodic dynamism: a rhythmic crush less unrelenting, horrorshow vocals slightly more intelligible, a production shorn of murk highlighting potent synth-sorcery and welcome NWOBHM influences, not least guitar solos of old-school finesse. Recorded over 2 days in foulest 2021 and clad-as-ever in immortal Chris Moyen artwork, "Worship the Eternal Darkness" has all the thematic unity, arcane knowledge, otherworldly class and divine filth expected from a legendary band stoking underground hellfires which burn stronger than ever.
