Gli Alberi are an Atmospheric Post-Metal band formed in Turin in 2012. Their lyrics explore themes such as nature, spirituality, environmental issues, and the end of the world. They have released two albums: The Glimpse (2017) and Reinhold (2022); this last one being a concept album about the Messner brothers' ascent of Nanga Parbat.

“Maturafine” is their third record and is a concept album about deserts: the desert as an arid place, but also as a place without man, even if populated by different forms of life. Deserts of prayer, of temptation, of loss—such as the Rub' Al-Khali, the "Empty Quarter" of the world; the Australian desert, with its myths of the Dreamtime; or the Kazakh desert, with its fishing boats lying motionless on the dried-up bed of the Aral Sea. These are ecosystems that we have transformed and plundered, adapting them to our idea of civilization. Over all of them blow the same sands and the same warning: the time is ripe—the end looms over us.

Musically, it is a long journey through various genres such as Doom, Post-Rock, and Blackgaze, in a world where synths and arrangements based on both Rock and Metal take the listener through a meaningful and touching path. Female, male and extreme vocals will be your guides.

After the previous acclaimed EP "Stryx Strega Strygae", the Blackened Heavy Metal hex STREGA opens a new chapter of the Arrakyan saga: "Mors Mortiys Morte".

With this three-songs new EP, STREGA furthermore sharpens its dark, blackened classic Heavy Metal flair. With a stylistically enhanced 80's Metal core and Goblin-inspired keyboards sections, this new record enhances both epicness and theatricality in STREGA's music, unfolding its character, attitude and atmosphere. Refined song's structures, style-changing vocals, rhythmic variations, quality classic Heavy Metal riffing and enigmatic yet technical keyboards sections are key points in STREGA's style, whose mix of influnces outline a unique formula.

FFO: Iron Maiden, King Diamond, Goblin, Bewitched, Morgul Blade, Black Magick SS, Nite.

With their seventh full-length, "Death Doom Punks", ARROGANZ deliver exactly what the title promises: the brutality of old school death metal meets the attitude and unpolished directness of punk. This album pulls no punches and hits straight into the gut and face. The German trio has amplified 15 years of experience into a record that comes with their trademark sound but is confident and mature both in songwriting and storytelling. On "Death Doom Punks", ARROGANZ are never afraid to let their influences shine through as they obviously made them their own. Driven by a heavy pumping bass and relentlessly whipped drum skins, the trio stacks massive riffs on top of each other and finishes any remaining resistance off with a barrage of deep-throated growls. Whatever ARROGANZ are doing, it always comes out at 100% while never forgetting the original roots in old school death metal. The trio's unwillingness to compromise has been hailed by many and earned them the hate of others - about which they do not give the slightest… as authenticity and honesty in every aspect are their key traits. With ARROGANZ what you see and hear is what you get, and "Death Doom Punks" is not just the album title but also a declaration of allegiance and intent. Get on board, bang your head, slam and rage - or get out!

Now the next abomination crawls into the light. ORACLE OF WORMS’ debut full-length, “Cult of Suffering”, is a scorched-earth manifesto of rot and rage. a relentless onslaught of Swe-Death chainsaw riffing, morbid melodies, and apocalyptic intensity. From the first blast beat to the last guttural growl, this is old-school death metal carved from the bones of the Scandinavian masters, with a venomous injection of blackened atmosphere and crust-infused aggression.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Simeon Lauber at The RedTape Company, “Cult of Suffering” pays homage to HM-2 Death Metal while leaving its own mark on the modern underground. For the cover artwork, the Berlin-based artist and tattooist Alvar Baptist brings his dark, striking vision to life. The cult is rising, the plague spreads, and the suffering has just begun.

Black Metal history written by the Czech messengers of darkness!

In 1988 two years prior to the iron curtain’s fall and at a time when playing Rock music could easily land you in jail for violating communist law, Jiří “Big Boss” Valter and Petr “Blackosh” Hošek decided to join forces to found ROOT. Adverse conditions and very low funds couldn`t prevent the eager bunch from marching forward, though. When Big Boss who wasn`t yet the band’s singer but played drums before switching to vocals for good on the fourth demo and ROOT’s guitarist Blackosh found the late Dr. Fe who did vocals on the first 3 demos and Dr. Zet on second guitar, ROOT were ready to strike.

During their initial pre-album stage ROOT managed to come up with 4 legendary demos before eventually releasing their debut album Zjeveni in 1990. Although influences from BATHORY and VENOM are apparent especially on the first 3 demos, ROOT – right from the start – managed to carve their own idiosyncratic niche. Thrashy riffs, a total lack of bass, stomping, primitive drums and Dr. Fe’s original Czech vocals are mingled with and interspersed by acoustic interludes, strange spoken word passages, incantations and samples from movies resulting in an eerie, off-kilter cocktail unheard of even today. It wasn’t until the fourth demo The Trial when Big Boss finally took over vocal duties that ROOT had finally found their unmistakable sound, though. In terms of songwriting and recording quality undoubtedly the best demo of the bunch, The Trial has everything ROOT would go on to develop further on their subsequent albums.

Exactly 10 years after ROOT’s tape box was released by Darkness Shall Rise we are extremely thrilled to offer you this luxurious compilation of the first 4 groundbreaking demos of one of Black Metal’s founding fathers on various formats.

For the first time ever all audio-files were restored and mastered from the original tapes by Patrick W. Engel.

3LP triple-gatefold sleeve incl. a huge 24-page 12” booklet with a completely new in-depth interview with Petr „Blackosh“ Hošek and many unseen pictures and a double-sided A2 poster will be added to every vinyl too.
