With their sixth full-length "Dread Emperor", SLAUGHTERDAY deliver everything that they excel in, which is also precisely what their fans want from the duo: perfectly executed old school death metal with a wicked twist. From crushing doom-ridden ultra-heavy parts to calculated outbreaks of utter brutality, this record offers everything a still beating death metal heart could ask for. And of course, those cosmic horrors of the Great Old Ones, forbidden sounds, and tentacled death metal are still rising. The German band has also added more deeper meaning to their tales of cosmic terrors as a healthy antidote to stereotypes. Lyrically, SLAUGHTERDAY have always built on the well-established foundations of their genre by taking inspiration from American author H. P. Lovecraft and other masters of horror. And while sinister things crawl and creep through the duo's timeless brutality, they have always portrayed them with a sinister flair of their own. These days, the band has repurposed those monstrous creatures as metaphorical ciphers for relevant contemporary topics.

On their tenth full-length "Aba Khan", NYTT LAND pick up the stylistic thread that they had previously woven with "Ritual" (2021). This means, the music is generally based on a foundation of current ritual dark folk to which the duo from Siberia adds elements from the native traditions of their home among other ingredients. Although NYTT LAND return to the less strict and rather popular formula with "Aba Khan", their inspiration has still come from a whole year of travelling through the vast territories of Siberia. The couple discovered new areas and got acquainted with spiritual traditions of the indigenous peoples that they met. The result of this journey is a collection of priceless treasures that has been respectfully translated into a contemporary musical language. NYTT LAND was created in August 2013 as a ritualistic Nordic folk band and driven by the musical vision of the husband and wife duo Natalya and Anatoly Pakhalenko. The couple lives in the Western Siberian town Kalachinsk that is located on the banks of River Om and crossed by the Trans-Siberian Railway. True to their often dark and mysterious subjects, the lyrics of NYTT LAND echo myth and stories from legends and historical sources. Those are told in the languages of both indigenous Siberian tribes and Old Norse, with the balance gradually shifting towards the former over time. NYTT LAND dedicate "Aba Khan" to the ancient, beautiful, and great lands of Siberia. Join them on a journey through time and space where spirits rule, shamans protect the people, and old gods whisper.

SPECIAL COMBINED RELEASE INCLUDING FLEURETY’S HARD TO FIND 1999 EP, PLUS THE RARE “I LEFT THE PLANET” PROJECT TRACKS FROM 1996 INCLUDING MEMBERS OF VED BUENS ENDE/AURA NOIR. WITH NEWLY REMASTERED AUDIO.

Fleurety was formed in Ytre Enebakk, Norway in 1991, & is known for pioneering an experimental & boundary-breaking approach to black metal, integrating a variety of styles beyond purely metallic ones. The band has released three studio albums to date, plus a string of EPs, & has primarily existed as a duo featuring guitarist Alexander Nordgaren (formerly live guitarist for Norwegian legends, Mayhem) & drummer/vocalist Svein Egil “Zweizz” Hatlevik (Umoral, Strid, ex-Dødheimsgard) throughout their full history.

Fleurety was considered a slight oddity to the rest of the Norwegian movement at the time of their inception, for developing an altogether different style with more dynamic musical influences & obscure/non-traditional riffing. Following on from the ‘Black Snow’ demo in 1993 & the ‘A Darker Shade Of Evil’ 7” the following year, the band presented their full-length debut to the world in the shape of ‘Min Tid Skal Komme’; an exquisite & revered journey through dark & often introspective soundscapes.

‘Last Minute Lies’ was originally released in 1999, preceding the band’s second full-length album, ‘Department Of Apocalyptic Affairs’ & introduced a taste of the demented sophistication yet to come through their ongoing penchant for the strange & bizarre. The result was a mind-bending (or expanding) voyage of eccentricity within the metal genre, presenting a new masterclass in avantgarde mood-setting in the process.

Also included in this special release is the rare “I Left The Planet” project recordings from 1996, where Nordgaren was joined by a number of guests for this anomaly of dark & poetic jazzy-metal, notably featuring fellow prodigy of avant-garde metal & percussionist extraordinaire, Carl-Michael Eide of Ved Buens Ende/Aura Noir.

On what is the 35th anniversary of the band’s formation, this edition of ‘Last Minute Lies/I Left The Planet’ is presented on CD format including booklet with full lyrics, with audio specially remastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Studios for this release.
