TODOMAL emerged from the arid heartlands of eastern Spain in 2020, forging a deeply personal sound from the solemnity of doom metal, the sweep of cinematic rock and the quiet weight of lived experience. ‘Graveyards of Joy’ is the third album from this Anglo-Spanish duo, and the closing chapter of a trilogy that began with ‘Ultracrepidarian’ (2021) and deepened with ‘A Greater Good’ (2023).
Written in solitude following personal tragedy, ‘Graveyards of Joy’ channels grief, anger and hard-won hope into nine tracks of slow-burning, widescreen doom. The music breathes: vast Hammond-driven passages give way to desolate folk, Morricone-like strings open onto dusty, cinematic plains, and heavy, uncompromising riffs anchor songs that never lose sight of melody. Lyrically, the album conjures a landscape drawn from the ghost towns and depopulated provinces of rural Spain, a terrain that is raw, honest and untamed. Loss runs through every song, but so does the search for something on the other side.
This is a record that balances the dramatic with the delicate, the dark with light, and arrives fully formed: a DIY work of striking emotional depth and modern, alternative edge.
For fans of Katatonia, Candlemass, Anathema, Hamferð.
CD in Digipak with 12-page booklet.

Dutch atmospheric black metal act Nachtheem delivers a deeply hypnotic and melancholic abum with Waan van de leegte, refining the raw and immersive sound already explored on their demos and split releases. Floating riffs, aggressive passages and haunting atmospheres merge into a uniquely introspective vision of dark metal rooted in the spirit of the underground Dutch scene
Elegier fra Avgrunnen sees two fierce forces of the Norwegian underground joining together for a raw and deeply atmospheric journey into classic Scandinavian black metal. Rooted in the grim spirit of the ’90s scene, both Enevelde and Gjendød deliver four new tracks steeped in darkness, melancholy and windswept Nordic mysticism. Released through Terratur Possessions, this split avoids modern overproduction in favor of cold riffs, haunting atmospheres and pure Norwegian black metal essence.

The fourth Woewarden full-length album “The Roots Of My Neglect” is the natural successor to their previous work but is intentionally more visceral. Woewarden have maintained the melodic, melancholic approach to depressive black metal – inspired by the likes of Silencer, Psychonaut 4, and Insomnium— but they have injected a heavier, more abrasive edge reminiscent of the raw torment and fury of 90s Scandinavian legends like Dissection and Emperor.
Musically, this has allowed them to push the contrasts of their songwriting further. In one breath, the arrangements deliver some of the heaviest passages to date; in the next, they are bittersweet, embroiled in vocals ranging from maniacal wails and throat chants to screams of anguish and haunting croons. It is an exploration of neglect, both self-inflicted and external, and the rot that settles when hope is finally abandoned.

"Neapolitan song" has inherently influenced much of the popular and folk italian music and it's worldwide renowned for its expressive and communicative power.
Its origins date back to the XIII century and over the centuries has come down to us, keeping unchanged its attractiveness.
SCOURN (which means “shame” in Neapolitan language) was founded in Naples in 2008 by Giulian (Vocals, All Instruments & Orchestral Arrangements) properly to worship the cult of Parthenope by revealing the most ancient legends and history of the mysterious Neapolitan lands, known over the centuries for their hellenic and roman origins and for being fervent cradle of the Italian culture.
After signing in middle 2016 a two-albums deal with Dusktone, in Ferbruary 2017 SCOURN released the much-anticipated debut album “Parthenope”, recorded mixed and mastered at the world-acclaimed 16th Cellar Studio in Rome in 2016 by the producer Stefano “Saul” Morabito (FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, HOUR OF PENANCE).
Very special guest on the album is the “maestro” Riccardo Studer (from Italian extreme epic metal pioneers STORMLORD) who shaped an impressive orchestra for this incredible debut album. The concept album is focused on the most ancient greek-roman origins of Naples, and each song is related to a specific legend from those times, such as the 79 a.d. volcano Vesuvio’s eruption who destroyed Pompeii and many others.
Riccardo Studer commented the orchestral bonus CD version : " “The orchestral scoring for this album was a long and intense process, but extremely rewarding. Giulian and I worked out how the music should sound to create the right atmospheres and setting according to Parthenope’s concept and lyrics. The result was a truly massive and majestic orchestral texture, with full instrumental ensemble and the addition of the parthenopean traditional folk instruments, the band’s unique trademark. It was a really exciting challenge, brace yourselves …”
The epic black metal atmospheres, strongly influenced by the world famous “canzone napoletana”, and the sound of traditional folk instruments melt with majestic orchestrals and evocative lyrics in native language, express the concept of the band at its best.
All the emotional charge of such profound culture finds full expression in this SCUORN' debut album and track after track will lead you on an epic journey through dreams, successes, struggles and failures of mankind.
Deities that rise above the evil to be as bad to be reason for living, explosion of the volcano as a desire for purification, terrible visions with Father Virgil and Mago as painted veil from its shroud issues the will of hades: all of you have to die and you have to listen to the resurrection through the flames of the sacred "O Vesuvio". Burn and live forever.
“Nature Skrik” is progressive black metal, combining elements of old and new, with influences from old Arcturus and Ulver, as well as newer DHG and Oranssi Pazuzu. Moving beyond standard tremolo picking, the newer material emphasizes "cultish" chanting and ritualistic acoustic bridges, merging together in a chasm of sound, from the deep abysses, to the highest peaks. It is the sound of «nature's scream», which also is the title of the album in Norwegian.
Cynic's journey began with their Uroboric forms, a sonic evolution captured through four demo tapes ranging from interesting to legendary. Released between 1988 and 1991, these recordings trace a path from raw, aggressive thrash to the zenith of technical death metal.
The '88 Demo and '89 Demo laid a foundation of blistering speed, while '90 Demo introduced the complex, jazzy textures they’re known for. By the 1991 Demo, the uroboric cycle was nearly complete and refined, featuring the lineup that would eventually record the landmark “Focus”.
The "Uroboric" motif represents the eternal return—death and rebirth— Mirroring how the band constantly dismantled and rebuilt their identity. These demos were later officially unearthed in the Ureboric Forms collection, giving fans a raw look at the blueprints for progressive metal's future.
Paul Masvidal’s shifting vocals and Sean Reinert’s inhuman drumming transformed simple metal tropes into a philosophical, cyclical art form. They remain a masterclass in how a band finds its soul through evolution. Presented in a three-panel digipak, “Uroboric Forms” stands as the ultimate demo collection for the legendary Florida band.

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."
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.

“Show My Mercy” is an EP about the remorse that humans will feel, when they are stuck in the swirl
of karma made by themselves. Blinded by fury, greed, sorrow, heading for their destruction step by step.
The digipak comes as four-sided panel with booklet-sleeve and eight-sided booklet.
“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….

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.

First album of the trilogy on CD in deluxe Digipak with gold print and 16-page booklet.
No matter what stylistic path they take, GREEN CARNATION have never shied away from grand, gloomy statements.
Founded in the early ‘90s by former Emperor bassist Tchort, the Norwegian act quickly amassed a cult following thanks to one of the most ambitious epics in metal history. Even before going on hiatus during the mid-2000s, the ever-evolving auteurs still flashed a flare for the dramatic by performing their acoustic verses underneath a mountain dam. However, there was one tale — or three, to be exact — that continued to elude them. Until now. With the ‘A Dark Poem’ trilogy starting now, GREEN CARNATION finally unveil their masterpiece.
The idea for an album trilogy stems from GREEN CARNATION’s earliest yesteryears, but the first part of ‘A Dark Poem’ cites various passages from across their illustrious cannon. Lead single “In Your Paradise” reaches newfound peaks of heaviness, swept out to sea by sublime riffs and somber symphonic flourishes. While navigated with the band’s familiar mastery, the view from ‘The Shores of Melancholia’ is far from heavenly. Judgement day appears around every corner, steering them from the title track’s scarlet clouds of war toward Floydian whirlpools drenched in paranoia before being shipwrecked by second wave black metal.
“A lesson learned, now bridges burn”, bearded captain Kjetil Nordhus cries out with impassioned cleans, as if tied to the mast during the album’s fiery send-off.
On ‘A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia’, GREEN CARNATION set sail on an epic journey into a dark night of the soul.
For fans of OPETH, PARADISE LOST, PAIN OF SALVATION.

Havukruunu is the spirit of freedom, harbinger of oblivion, and it tells you: FLY, YOU FOOLS!
Svart Records is set to release the band’s fourth album TAVASTLAND in February 2025
After three albums, the pieces of the puzzle fit, and Havukruunu, the favorite band of the sensitive and sorrowful returns with a vengeance to blur the line between the real and unreal. The sorrowful guitars of Stefa and Bootleg-Henkka draw threatening dark shadows on the wall, Kostajainen's drumming bombardement pulses like embers of a dying fire in the hearth. All the while, Humö's bass guitar is clanking and wailing like the icy wind rattling windows and banging walls, as Stefa roars and channels messages from the netherworld or preaches wisdom of ancient days, backed by a choir.
Lords of Hell smile approving as the flames of hatred and cunning of their beloved sons drowns a dying old world, and heart of the earth trembles the birth of new and weird. Havukruunu is the spirit of freedom, harbinger of oblivion, and it tells you: FLY, YOU FOOLS!
Havukruunu’s upcoming album TAVASTLAND tells the story of a small, strange people.
”-TAVASTLAND tells how in 1237 the Tavastians rose in a rebellion against the church of Christ and drove the popes naked into the frost to die. TAVASTLAND reveals our fathers’ centuries old sins and lies of consolation. TAVASTLAND speaks of him, who has become a prisoner of his home, alienated from the land of the forest and is now afraid of the dark with all lights on, surrounded by his smart devices. TAVASTLAND tells about the freedom we lost. TAVASTLAND haunts its listener to the grave, and I will personally open that grave one bleak night, and steal the fading light of your sempiternal soul.”, says Stefa.
TAVASTLAND is available on Svart exclusive ice & blood vinyl edition, limited to 666 copies. Also available on limited amber & black smoke vinyl, classic black vinyl, CD, cassette tape, and digital platforms. All vinyl editions of the first pressing include a booklet and poster. New Havukruunu T-shirt also up for pre-order now at Svart’s webstore. Release date February 28th, 2025
Svart Records continues to reissue the albums of Havukruunu, bringing their 2020 classic UINUOS SYÖMEIN SOTA back on the market in September 2025. Havukruunu's third album UINUOS SYÖMEIN SOTA is widely praised for its epic and melodic black metal, combining heavy metal influences with folk music. The album is celebrated in particular for its catchy melodies, powerful atmospherics, lush guitar solos and choral vocals, which create a unique blend of bleak heavy metal and other genres. The album has been compared to the works of Bathory and Moonsorrow, but critics have put Havukruunu on their own level for having such a unique style. True Finnish Forest Metal.
Havukruunu's KELLE SURUT SOI reissued in September Svart Records continues to re-release the works of Havukruunu, bringing their highly sought after 2017 album KELLE SURUT SOI back in print in September 2025. Havukruunu's sophomore album Kelle surut soi is known for its immersive atmosphere, evoking imagery of Finnish paganism and nature's force. While rooted in black metal, the album incorporates folk melodies and acoustic elements, adding depth and texture to the sound, yet it doesn't shy away from aggressive, blackened riffs and powerful drumming, providing a satisfyingly heavy experience. The songs are individual journeys, with the album as a whole creating a larger, more impactful experience.

First Oranssi Pazuzu album reissued at last.
“During the last few years we have had many people asking from us about the availability of our earlier albums, the vinyl versions of both and also the debut cd being sold out for some time now. We have been promising a repress basically since 2011, when the vinyls first came out, and we are very happy to say this is finally being realized.
To us both Muukalainen puhuu and Kosmonument nowadays sound something like a different band, but they still embody many of our principal musical ideas in songs like Korppi or Kaaos hallitsee
Disponibile ora!
A 70+ minute sprawling voyage, ‘Värähtelijä’ more accurately represents the stunning live presence of the band where the songs often span new and previously unheard dimensions of form and structure. Not meant for genre purists, Oranssi Pazuzu are on a trip all their own; modern electric pioneers on an expedition to unlock the keys to the hidden spaces all around and inside us. 20 Buck Spin is pleased to once again present the innovative brilliance of Oranssi Pazuzu and ‘Värähtelijä’.
"Värähtelijä is continuing where we left off with Valonielu. But it plunges deeper into the pitch black hypnosis, combines progressive song structures to more free and flowing parts."
ORANSSI PAZUZU’s previous album Kosmonument was received with great critical acclaim as a brilliant album by a band developing into something all their own. On Valonielu, the band has sharpened their songcraft into a more succinct and salient statement, formidably invoking '90s-era Darkthrone yet boldly reaching further out into the multiverse of the psych and experimental side they have always inhabited. From the beginning chainsaw riff of album opener “Vino Verso” (“Askew Sprout”) to the climactic, world-downfall of final track “Ympyra On Viiva Tomussa” (“A Circle Is A Line In The Dust”), ORANSSI PAZUZU masterfully establish a cosmology all their own.

CD was distributed as a bonus item available through the label's online mail order, when purchasing the vinyl LP, and later as an unannounced bonus to mail orders of other Southern Lord releases.
The artwork for the 1xCD is misprinted; it is the same as the 2xCD version, and so incorrectly lists the second disc included in the 2xCD version and featuring the extra track, "Helio)))sophist." The track is also (incorrectly) referred to in the liner notes below.
German PRAG 83 delivers mellow, sublime and dark alternate folk – rugged to the bone and close to earth. Musically unique with elements that reminds of the Katatonia´s ”Discouraged ones” era but also not far away from the works by the northern woodsmen of Lönndom
Katla is an Icelandic band featuring ex-Sólstafir drummer and visual artist Guðmundur Óli Pálmason and singer/multi-instrumentalist Einar Thorberg Guðmundsson (Fortíð, Potentiam). Named in tribute to one of Iceland's greatest active volcanos, Katla creates powerful, panoramic music where shimmering guitars, crushing melodies and atmospheric density meet dark, entrancing power.
Katla's debut album, "Móðurástin", shines a spotlight on the band's hook-heavy, horizon-stretching sound. The lyrics tell tales of living in a country of contrasts; a land where fire and ice co-exist and dark winters are offset by the summer's midnight sun. Iceland: a country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture.
"Móðurástin", Icelandic for (a) Mother's Love, might seem like a strange title for a metal album, but Katla dares to be different. What on Earth is stronger than a mother's love? Nothing. Not hate, not lust, not greed.
