„Borderland" is the first Amorphis album produced in collaboration with Danish producer Jacob Hansen. Before that, we had made three amazing records at Jens Bogren’s studio. During the planning phase of the project, we strongly felt that it was time to explore something new and see what working with a different producer might bring to the table.
Amorphis has a very distinctive sound and our own way of making music. Having six strong personalities in the band naturally brings its own challenges to the production process, especially for the producer. Jacob was chosen for a couple of key reasons: he has worked with an impressively diverse range of artists, and he’s an incredibly calm, creative, and idea-driven producer.
Once again, the lyrics were written by Pekka Kainulainen, and the album artwork is by Dutch artist Marald Van Haasteren. Pekka Kainulainen describes the themes and topics of the album as follows: "The generations that came before us, our ancestors, also had to face death and destruction. Honoring the mythologies of mankind, as well as the listeners of Amorphis, I wrote lyrics that hopefully convey some of the humility and strength that mankind has always depended on."

The Gates play „Magick Metal“, combining their own brilliant interpretation of old school Occult Rock, Gothic/Death Rock and Psychedelic Metal with additional Black Metal vocals. Visually, they use classic psych imagery such as colourful artwork and magic mushrooms in combination with occult symbols, while their lyrics also focus on classic forms of occultism and psychedelic experiences.
Seemingly out of nowhere, in 2021/22 they delivered with their debut "...of Pandemonium" an absolute killer album full of occult hymns that quickly found many fans and helped them to gain a very dedicated fan base.
About a year later followed the equally phenomenal EP “As Above, So Below”, first released digitally and as a split-LP with Behrosth, and in 2024 finally reissued as a stand-alone MCD and MLP alongside the band’s second album.
On this new album, entitled “…of the River Styx”, the band continues to develop their unique style, incorporating more noticable nods to 80s synthesizer/disco music and Gothic/Death Rock. While the influence of the controversial originators of Magick Metal, Black Magick SS, is still noticable, The Gates easily manage to distinguish their album in terms of music, concept and visuals, and prove that they, too, have the potential to enlighten the suffering collective human consciousness through the cosmic brilliance that was given to the world in the form of Magick Metal.
Once again they show their unfailing ability to write songs and melodies that as a fan you simply can’t stop listening to until they have become a part of your very being. As before, singer Galigula truly shines, and his clean vocal performance on the final track “Blind Descent” makes you think you’re listening to none other than The Cure’s Robert Smith at the top of his game, showcasing Galigula’s incredible talent as a vocalist.
The Gates’ “…of the River Styx” solidifies the band’s status as uniquely talented musicians that dare to venture into as yet unconquered musical territories and forever leave their indelible mark.
The Garden Of Unearthly Delights was the eighth studio album by British Doom legends Cathedral, for which they were signed by Nuclear Blast Records in Germany. The album received a lot of critical acclaim and was well received by fans alike. Tracks such as Corpsecycle and North Berwick Witch Trials were firm favourites and staples in the live setlists right up until the bands end.
Produced by warren Riker (Fugees, Corrosion Of Conformity, Down, Cynic etc), it had a revitalised energy, which saw the band touring relentlessly around the globe once again.
Choc full of the usual monstrous riffs, strange subject matter and non-conforming twists and turns that Cathedral became known for, it’s crowning achievement was epic 27-minute track simply titled The Garden. It’s a Doom prog odyssey which took the listener through a myriad of arcane environments and odd musical passages.

The term ‘back from the grave’ takes on a whole new meaning with the release of this (thought to be long lost) epic recording by the much-missed British Doom Metal lords: Cathedral. Society’s Pact With Satan was the last ever recording made by the band, back in 2012. It was recorded at the end of the sessions for their swan song album; 2013’s The Last Spire. But, for some reason, the 30-minute track was not mixed at the time, thus pretty much forgotten about by everyone involved, until very recently.
Rediscovered by producer Jaime Gomez Arellano, whilst sorting through his old studio recordings, he excitedly alerted the band, saying that he had discovered a long-lost gem. Upon hearing it, the band members were convinced enough to agree that it should see a commercial release.
So, here we have it: the final sermon by Cathedral and what a way to go out. It’s an unapologetic, uncompromising exercise in macabre observations, musical eccentricity, brutal riffing and general arcane self-indulgence. There genuinely was/is no other band like Cathedral. Just ask Tony Iommi.

After the two albums Nattestid and Bjoergvin, Taake completed the trilogy with Doedskvad. Recorded at Grieghallen Studios, with guest appearances from cult black metal artists such as Nattefrost (Carpathian Forest), Nordavind (ex-Carpathian Forest) and Taipan (Orcustus), Doedskvad is a pure, cold and grim black metal masterpiece. Doedskvad has not been pressed on vinyl since 2016 but is back in 2018 on an extremely limited run.

Let the moonclad twilight veil the forests once again!
Moonlight Sorcery is a Finnish black metal trio formed in early 2018. The band’s black metal is a symphonic and melodic variety by nature. Inspired by many black metal classics as well as classic heavy metal and melodic death metal, the band indeed has a huge palette of influences, which is directly reflected in the versatility of the song material.
Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity, the band first EP, was worked on as the icy winds blew and winter did its magic. In all the peace and quiet. The silver-saturated nights of the moon rushed to the melodies that breathe sorrow and the eternal majesty of the cold stars.
