8-CD Artbook Edition (hardcover, 28 x 28 cm, 60 pages) featuring personal reflections, song lyrics, additional illustrations, photos, and exclusive bonus material. (600 copies available) 

With “Arcane Past: The Celestial Grimoire,” LIMBONIC ART delivers the ultimate testament to their early years. This jam-packed 8-CD artbook not only brings together all the classic works of the Norwegian black metal cult band—the demos and early albums—but also the previously unreleased “1994 Demo”! LIMBONIC ART was founded in 1993 and released their debut album “Moon in the Scorpio” (1996) three years later via Nocturnal Art Productions. The label was run by EMPEROR guitarist Samoth, aka Tomas Thormodsæter Haugen, who stepped in after the band’s demo cassettes had piqued his interest. The band’s combination of Nordic black metal with cinematic elements—inspired by romantic and classical orchestral music—proved to be highly influential in the years that followed. LIMBONIC ART were always an elusive phenomenon and were already considered a cult band back then, as the Norwegians performed live only very rarely—for example, with a legendary concert at the Black Whitsun subfestival of the millennium edition of the Wave Gothic Festival (2000) in Leipzig.

In the new century, Daemon joined ZYKLON for a while before LIMBONIC ART officially disbanded in February 2003. In 2006, however, Daemon reformed the band and continued on his own. After another extended hiatus, the Norwegian cult band made a remarkable comeback in 2024 with their ninth album, “Opus Daemoniacal.” “Arcane Past: The Celestial Grimoire” brings things full circle, offering all of LIMBONIC ART’s classics and rarities collected on CD for the first time.

Black 12" double vinyl (33rpm) in jacket with double-sided insert.
First pressing 300 copies worldwide

BORKNAGAR stay true to metal’s origins by letting their spirit guide them. Starting with their self-titled beginnings back in 1996, these Norwegians pushed past the boundaries set by traditional black metal. Over the course of the past 30 years, the band’s domain has come to include prog, neofolk and darkly enchanting hard rock, capped by major international tours and chart placements across the world. Eleven albums into their storied journey, they reached another creative peak on ’True North’ in 2019.
‘True North’ found BORKNAGAR at a crossroad. Half of the band’s lineup had turned over, but their longstanding members kept them on a dizzying upward trajectory. Whether picking or riffing, founder and guitarist Øystein Brun led the way, lighting a path for the versatile ICS Vortex (Arcturus, ex-Dimmu Borgir) to return to the mic. His thunderous cleans shine amidst the warm misty keys of hit single “Up North”, while his screams cut through the more hellish passages of “The Fire That Burns”. Even when hounded by “Voices”, keyboardist Lars Nedland’s resounding chorus resonated far and wide.
Loudwire named the album one of the best of 2019.

For fans of AMORPHIS, ENSLAVED, WINDIR.

Finnish death metal 7" box set series to be released via Svart Records - Part I with Abhorrence, Disgrace & Messiah Paratroops out in April

This is part of the story of the birth of early Finnish death metal. The late ’80s and early ’90s were a time when underground extreme metal flourished, and the main centrifugal force that got bands known globally was tape trading. Influences spread like a disease, and young, emerging death metal groups were eager to be more brutal than the next. Lack of money meant that studios couldn’t be booked for weeks, so the first logical release for starting bands was usually a self-released demo tape or a seven-inch vinyl, where they could squeeze in two to four tracks.

Even though we are talking about Finnish death metal here, the American record label Seraphic Decay, run by Steve O’Bannon, plays an important role in this story. It was the label that originally released the first 7” records for three Finnish bands: Disgrace's Debts of God (1990), Abhorrence's Abhorrence (1990) — the band that later morphed into Amorphis — and Messiah Paratroops' The Past (1992).

HAVOHEJ is the solo project of Paul Ledney, formed in 1993 after the split of Profanatica the previous year. Former Profanatica and Incantation member Brett Makowski assisted with guitars and bass on the first album, "Dethrone The Son Of God", which consists mainly of re-worked and re-recorded Profanatica tracks. This is the essence of evil and blackness with each and every sinister guitar riff, complimented by a signature vocal style that truly embodies the meaning of true Unholy Black Metal.

Released in a limited six-panel Digipak Cd edition.

MOONSPELL return via Napalm Records with Far From God, a record born out of five years of creative searching, doubt and ultimate rediscovery. Far from playing it safe, the Portuguese pioneers deliver a work that feels like a rebirth: darker, sharper and emotionally unfiltered. Rather than bending to modern trends, MOONSPELL double down on identity and substance. Far From God is a bold and beautiful statement of Gothic Metal in its purest form: dark, romantic, dramatic and unapologetically heavy.
The first single and album title track, “Far From God”, sets the album’s tone with burning intensity. A hymn to tragic vampiric love, the song revives the mystique and romantic darkness that once defined the genre, while layered keyboards subtly expand the atmosphere without softening its heaviness. Dense guitars, deep resonant vocals and dramatic dynamic shifts evoke a timeless gothic aesthetic, restoring danger and elegance to the narrative of the vampire.
Songs such as “Cross Your Heart” reveal a more affirmative side of the album, built on brooding melodic motifs and grounded, deliberate riff work that balances restraint and impact. Echoing the spirit of the band’s past while embracing a modern, shadowed edge, the song reflects on roadside shrines and lives lost too soon; the steady forward drive of the rhythm section mirrors the endless motion of the road itself. Fernando Ribeiro’s unmistakable and singular vocal presence, moving between low gravitas and restrained intensity, reinforces the song’s emotional weight without excess.
With “The Great Wolf in the Sky” feat. Alicia Nuhro (strings), MOONSPELL deliver one of the album’s most epic moments, structured around expansive keyboard themes, harmonized guitar lines and a chorus built for collective resonance. Melancholic yet powerful, the track stands as a tribute to wolves who once walked alongside the band and to a fan and friend who passed before hearing the album, bridging MOONSPELL’s past, present and future in one sweeping, dignified anthem.
Thematically, Far From God moves through Baudelairian love, existential guilt and redemption, Christlike resurrections and the quiet nobility of creatures of the night. Vampires, werewolves and sacred symbolism are not escapism here, but vehicles for genuine dark emotion: solemn, romantic and unfiltered. The album rejects artificial gloss in favour of fantasy grounded in sincerity, rediscovering the heart of Gothic Metal in its most authentic form.
MOONSPELL’s forthcoming magnum opus – produced with Jaime Gomez Arellano (Paradise Lost, Sólstafir, Ghost among many others) – shines like a black diamond, luminous yet shadowed in texture and colour, both musically and sonically. It reconnects with the darker spirit of MOONSPELL’s classic era while sounding powerful and contemporary. Far From God is not nostalgia; it is a statement. A Gothic Metal hallelujah. MOONSPELL’s Irreligious of the 21st century. It’s not only a powerful reminder that MOONSPELL remain a defining force in the genre they helped shape, but an album that will truly save Gothic Metal from boredom and predictability!

The Burning Circle and Then Dust is Lycia’s fourth studio recording, originally released on double CD via Projekt Records in 1995. Save for a small CD re-release in 2006 by Silber Records, the album has never been reissued since. It is hence with great pride that here at Avantgarde Music we officially announce a new edition of one of Lycia’s masterworks from the ‘90s, due out on 2CD as well as triple LP, making this the first Burning Circle vinyl release ever.
Mike VanPortfleet himself commented: “After several years of doing more synth oriented material I wanted a return to my guitar roots (in particular English post punk and 4AD). Lycia started as a guitar based band and I wanted to reaffirm that with disc one, which was originally going to be the release. I was also listening to a lot of shoegaze then, which inspired a return of making the guitars, as opposed to the synths, the focal point of the atmospherics.”.
Many things have been said about the album along the last twentyeight years, and the band chose the following to describe the record.
Per Projekt.com. - The Burning Circle And Then Dust was a groundbreaking point in Lycia’s career. It marked a shift from more atmospheric music towards song-oriented music with tracks like “Pray” & “Slip Away.” It marked the first collaborations between Mike VanPortfleet & Lycia members David Galas & Tara Vanflower. It marked the transformation of Lycia into a honed out live touring machine.
Per Pandamonium Magazine via Projekt.com. - Moving back into more formal song structures, Burning Circle returns to true song-writing, and places equal emphasis on guitar as the electronics. However, the music is as intense and powerful as ever, conjuring up vast vistas of soundscapes which are captured in delicate webs of song and structure. Songs like “Pray” are positively dance friendly, while others find Lycia moving towards the fertile ground of darkpop. breathtaking in scope and beauty, exultant in vision, exhilarating in sensory delight. Lycia have arrived.
Per Ned Raggett of AllMusic - a high point of American dark rock and the band's greatest and most ambitious work.

"This what I call imagination and talent employed to produce true art. I have chills from that song and it is followed up “Curse”, a hymn filled with almost nothing but black voices, gasps, growls, hissing, vomit-like emanations, ghost-like screams of anguish – this album is a journey I assure you. I am mentally exhausted. A brilliant release that takes many elements you have heard, many you have not and combines them in a unique way that makes this record an absolute must own."
 

New Mini-CD 7 tracks of blasphemy
 

These songs revolve around the transformation from man to The Übermensch (German for "Overman, Overhuman, Superman, Superhuman), through the purification of the fire and the metaphor of the warrior, mainly taking inspiration from parts of Vijnanabhairava as well as personal experiences of meditation.

Fire is the main element manifested by Shiva, seen as a purifying factor and dissolving, regenerating and annihilating.
In this case also seen as the awakening of a burning and dissolving energy, which brings chaos and destroys the boundaries of mortality to reach immortality.

Sebastian Montesi is a prolific artist, probably best known for his endeavors in Mitochondrion and for being one of the founding members of Auroch.
With Saturn’s Cross, the Canadian took a very different path, delving into cold wave territories, which little have to share with the bands he is usually associated to. Yet, when we listened to what Sebastian crafted, we had no doubt, and we gladly welcomed this new project to our roster. With neither hope nor fear, Saturn’s Cross unveils Cheat Death.  Now operating as a two piece, with 1908 entering the fold on bass and
vocals, Cheat Death disregards genre with wild abandon in favour of something that is at times overwhelmingly abrasive and at others intoxicating.
This is a willing exploration of the endless labyrinth and a lamp of pitch black glass intended to serve as a beacon in the lightless depths of the human spirit. This is a headlong dive into the soul's psychic darkness, with nothing to break the fall. This ushers in a new era Saturn's Cross.

“Our goal – call to blight the life existance. Our weapon – weaknesses and vices of human scum.”
Virvel Av Morkerhatet, Ukraine: a hard atom that represents the defect of the human thought, that is multiplied by self-destruction of transcendental consciousness. Anticosmos through Black Magic.
We know you dreamt about a violent and ruthless edge of Ved Buens Ende, if we can figure this out in our minds.
This is a record that will not leave you indifferent and will nail your soul, a marvellous mix of avantgarde metal and evil fury where every second minute is unpredictable although not pushing too much over the reasonable boundaries of experimentation that every black metal band should safely keep….

Live recorded at Les Feux de Beltane 2019, Bretagne, France. This limited edition digipack (500 copies only) is released to celebrate the 20th birthday of SETH’s worshipped album, “Les Blessures de l’âme”.

Dive into the sonic abyss with Borgne’s new album. Between chaos and hypnotic melodies, the Swiss band redefines the boundaries of industrial black metal. An immersive, cold, and suffocating masterpiece where hammering rhythms and synthetic layers merge into a nihilistic whirlwind. For those who crave raw intensity and mesmerizing soundscapes. Much more than a simple album, it's a manifesto, a reincarnation, a cry emanating from nothingness. This new opus marks an essential quest: to reappropriate a dissolved identity, to draw on the darkness to be reborn in a strange, infinite world devoid of hope. Each track is a catharsis, a journey between destruction and reconstruction, where darkness becomes a creative force.

Dark, ambient and atmospheric sounds from France.
