Sisyphean from Vilnius, Lithuania is one the most exciting bands of the genre. So far, they have released two full-length albums – This new album entitled Divergence which will be out on all formats in April 2026, released by Norway´s Edged Circle Productions.

Perfect for the quietness of the winter forest, but also well suited for a walk through the city centre. Earphones on. A bleak drizzle of rain in the city or a hazy mist in the forest. No stars in the sky, or sun in the morning, just gloom and a sense of hopelessness. But there is always a way to retaliate. To stand up to the poison of lies, deceit and oppression. The feeling of the song is both solitude and anger. Still the solitude is by choice and not by force. Is there a plot for revenge in the making?

Sisyphean provides us with a inspiring creative outlet of their unique-sounding black metal. True to their musical legacy and their history, it´s also open to new inspirations. This makes it both fresh sounding and timeless.

Brilliantly written, this fierce black metal track is built on dense guitars and relentless grooves and is dark and confrontational, but melodic within it´s consistent chord progression. It´s both straight forward and complicated at the same time. The gives you the opportunity to lose yourself in the music without pushing unnecessary changes or be troubled by unneeded breaks. Everything has a function to back up to story.

'Masks of the Magi' Trilogy, opus II

THE OUTSIDER 

The dreams die and the firmament drowns. Amidst the ashes of a dead forest rises a solitary kingdom. These towers breathe the blackest of magic…

Old Sorcery is a dungeon synth / black metal project from Lahti, Finland, born in 2017 from the ever-creative mind of Juuso “Vrajitor” Peltola (Warmoon Lord, Argenthorns, Vrajitor’s Tenebrarium and many more), which is now in the middle of a trilogy of releases shared between labels Out Of Season and Avantgarde Music.

The Outsider is the second part of this fantasy concept, which here blends dungeon synth with the more atmospheric and escapist part of black metal.
Over 70 minutes long, The Outsider is a real journey through fabled lands and mysteries unknown.

Kanonenfieber's debut Menschenmühle has been one of the self-produced highlights of early 2021. With its mature songwriting and uncommon thematic approach, the album is intended to commemorate the countless victims of World War I.

Men were thrown into a differing reality where only survival would count. Death, fear and hunger as a steady companion in the waist-deep trenches filled with mud. One order transferred people into cannon fodder in the human mill - World War I. The lyrical background of Menschenmühle is based on factual reports, letters and other documents from the surviving and deceased soldiers. The album was written, recorded and produced by Kanonenfieber from September 2020 to January 2021 in the Noisebringer studio.

Dresden-based black/thrash newcomers LEAD INJECTOR present their debut album "Witching Attack" - an uncompromising homage to classic extreme metal, recorded over seven intensive days in August 2025 at Stereoid Studios in Schönfels, Saxony. "It was a really awesome time, we experimented a lot, racked our brains and learned a great deal," recalls vocalist/bassist Leo about the sessions. Founded in 2022, the trio is the first serious band for all three members after experiences in solo projects and school ensembles, and they quickly found their place in the local scene with their 2024 demo "From the Crypts... of Hell". "Witching Attack" now combines re-recorded demo tracks with fresh material written in the meantime. From the beginning, Lead Injector have demonstrated a knack for catchy song structures that sets them apart from average acts in this style. "We make sure that each of our songs is individual and unique, no two sound alike," Leo emphasizes. This approach creates variety and memorability – qualities not taken for granted in the genre. With "Witching Attack", Lead Injector make a statement: extreme metal with recognition value, authentically produced and carried by the energy of a hungry young band that will significantly help shape the scene in the future.

Galibot is a melodic black metal band – but it is also the name given to children who were sent to work in the mines of northern France. And for good reason, as the quintet hails from there. At the beginning of 2026, the band released an alternative version of their first album, entitled ‘Euch’Mau Noir bis’, signed by Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions. Initiated in 2023 by Thomas, Agathe and Clément, the project, initially a studio project, aims to establish a parallel between the raw and visceral dark matter that is coal and black metal music. Wallers-Arenberg, the name of the town where the project was born and which bears the scars of the mining industry, was the demo for what was still only a trio. Following the release of their first album, ‘Euch’Mau Noir’, Galibot decided to try their hand at live performances, and Julian and Rob joined the band. This collaboration ultimately led them to write their second album together, this time as a five-piece, to be released next May on Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions. Galibot will also be hitting the road to offer a cavernous live experience of fire and ashes.

Remaster 2026 Version of "Moontower"

The first (and only) solo album by acclaimed musician/songwriter/producer Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity, Nightingale, etc.), remastered by Swanö himself and now finally available again in its definitive re-issue edition. First released in 1999, “Moontower” finds Swanö at his most creative, a sort of homage to “death metal from 1972”. The album features pivotal tracks such as “Sun of the Night”, “Uncreation”, “Add Reality” and “In Empty Phrases”, which are some of Swanö’s best to date. His guitars hum, keyboards swirl, and vocals intimidate against introspective lyrics. Fall through the passage of time one last time!

Born from ritual, trance, and joyful defiance, EIHWAR stand apart in the modern pagan scene. The duo fuse Nordic folk, electro-industrial pulse, and raw percussive power into something fiercely alive.
With ‘Hugrheim’, EIHWAR take listeners deep into the tenth, hidden world of Yggdrasil. This second album expands their mythic universe with thunderous war drums, chanting in trance languages, and an irreverent energy that rejects solemn reenactment in favor of visceral experience. Each track functions as a gateway, moving between battle rites, ancestral memory, and altered states of consciousness. The record balances ritual intensity with sharp rhythmic drive, shaped for both solitary immersion and explosive live settings.
Anchored in Norse inspiration yet free from dogma, ‘Hugrheim’ feels both ancient and strikingly present. It is a concept album, a soundtrack for transformation, and a celebration of spirit made sound.

For fans of HEILUNG, DANHEIM, CARPENTER BRUT, LAIBACH.

Born for Burning: The History of Black Metal tells the fierce, shadow-drenched story of one of heavy music's most extreme and transgressive movements. From its gestation in the early 80's under raw, primitive riffs, Satanic imagery, and underground ferocity, to its darker peaks in the Norwegian scene and its global, multifaceted evolution, Matías Gallardo maps every blistering beat, every distorted chord, and every howl that defined what became Black Metal.

Drawing on over 100 interviews with legendary cult figures from all over the world - Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Master's Hammer, Profanatica, Blasphemy, Tormentor, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum, Emperor, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Ulver, Watain, Agalloch, Xasthur, Leviathan, Alcest, Misþyrming and many more - this is a chronicle of artistry and outrage, of beauty and brutality, Gallardo not only explores the music, the influences and the aesthetics, and the sonic innovations, but also does not shy away from the crime, the chaos, the church burnings, and the acts that shocked the world.

With a prologue by Dan Lilker (Nuclear Assault), and an introduction by Nocturno Culto (Darkthrone), Born for Burning is a powerful, unflinching journey through terror, transgression, and uncompromising passion. For fans, scholars, or anyone curious about how the underground became myth, this book is essential - and it burns.

Making heads turn since 2016 with the old school yet progressive cosmic death metal exposed in their demos, EPs and split with Undeath and Into Coffin, Italy's Devoid Of Thought released their 40 minutes debut full-length album Outer World Graves via Everlasting Spew Records in 2021. Between 2022 and 2025 the band focused on live activities, playing a number of prime festivals and shows such as Frantic Fest, Brutal Assault, Stige Fest, several European tours with Artificial Brain and Ad Nauseam and supported bands like Beherit, Necrot, Suffering Hour and many more…

Combining influences from bands like Timeghoul, Blood Incantation, Voivod and Incantation in a unique, bizarre and twisted vortex, the Italian quartet is now ready to celebrate its tenth year of existence with their sophomore studio record, self-titled Devoid Of Thought.

From outer world graves, where stars go to die and the effigies of distant planets are found, the portal has now opened toward a quantum leap, placed at the incipit of the end. The panspermic biodome is a colorful multiverse, awash in stellar life and boiling with transformation. Time here represents an entropic euphoria and is no longer a mortal clock. From a putrescent mire, a new form of life is born, endowed with an unprecedented shell, different from that of any known species. Consciousness is now ready to cross the cosmos once again and navigate through oblivion, until returning to a new beginning, in order to experience itself into many forms.

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.

Second album by Yorkshire’s White Medal. “Lyke Wake” features 9 new tracks recorded in 2015. The new songs follow on from “Guthmers Hahl” (2013) in terms of song writing and over all feeling but with a more refined sound. All lyrics in Yorkshire dialect with very personal themes of graft, death, grief, loss and paganism.
 

The Clearing Path is a very young and talented solo-artist recording project. 'Watershed...' was initially released only as digital, and benefits of a promotional campaign conducted by Earsplit PR, receiving a lot of web-media consensus.
It's bleak, noisy, extremely emotional, but listening to it is so easy that you won't realize you are giving it a 3rd spin in two hours without getting bored. It appeals to a wide range of extreme music fans, from black metal to Neurosis and Pelican

"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
 

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.

Another stunning replica from the original edition, almost identical in all details (gatefold cover, with insert and poster)

There`s a select few Black Metal recordings that have that special something most others lack. An atmosphere which can barely translated into words. They emanate an aura so ominously sinister and captivating that its macabre vibrations make the dark gods dance. Therefore Darkness Shall Rise Productions are immensely delighted to present a luxurious 2CD A5 digibook which features all recordings released prior to their first album Crossing the Fiery Path.

Spread over the 2 CDs are Promo 1990, NECROMANTIA`s tracks of the epochal split The Black Arts / The Everlasting Sins with VARATHRON (including the obscure track “Family Of Dog”) and Demo 1993.

These quintessential recordings will forever stand as beacons of art created in the shadow of the dark lord and will go on to serve as inexhaustible sources of inspiration for generations of Black Metal fanatics to come!

Greek NECROMANTIA were brought forth by Magus Wampyr Daoloth (aka Morbid aka The Magus) and the late Baron Blood in 1989. Radiating a pitch-black atmosphere right from the start, they are widely hailed as one of the earliest and most influential Hellenic Black Metal bands. The Latin term ´necromantia´ denotes a practice of magic that communicates with the dead for the sake of divination – for indeed, these sounds couldn`t possibly have been made without the assistance of the dead.

Unlike most bands which need some time of experimenting and trial and error to find their own sound (if ever), NECROMANTIA already presented their trademark style on Promo 1990 – their very first recording. Although in primal and crude shape, all the characteristics NECROMANTIA are worshipped for were already in place: The omission of guitars as rhythm instruments (they only appear for soli) in favour of two bass-guitars, the eerie, eccentrically theatrical parts that are rather reminiscent of audio drama and totally not something one would associate with a Metal band, the abysmal vocals …

This highly original and dark cocktail that these warlocks brewed and continued to refine on their subsequent legendary recordings was met with fascination and awe by the worldwide underground.

Luxurious A5 digibook double-CD with a 88 page booklet including a new interview with The Magus and many others new liner notes and interviews.

The long-awaited first and definitive biography of the leader of Dissection.

Jon A. Nödtveidt left behind two indisputable legacies; the first, musical. With unparalleled compositional talent, he shaped at will a hybrid between the two dominant styles of the early ’90s—Death and Black Metal. He gave this unique musical style a name, and he consecrated it to Satanism, achieving the complete fusion of music and intention. A bastion of authenticity.
The second legacy, the one beyond music, concerns his spirituality…

"The Scottish threat of blackened speed metal is back!
Featuring 8 new tracks over 44 minutes, the highly anticipated fourth album, Coronach, reaches new heights of metallic intensity.
Bolder, more daring, and more adventurous than ever, Hellripper is crafted for speed and razor-sharp riffs."

An expansive 70 minute venture through the fettered layers of the bleak existential cosmos, Black Medium Current is the sixth studio album by longstanding Norwegian avant-garde pioneers Dødheimsgard.

EXHUMED – “Red Asphalt” è il nuovo album dei maestri del gore metal, in uscita il 20 febbraio 2026 via Relapse Records. Un concentrato di deathgrind frenetico e brutale che travolge con riff scatenati e groove aggressivi, ispirato ai lati più oscuri e violenti della vita sulla strada. Dal singolo “Unsafe At Any Speed” a “Shovelhead”, ogni traccia è un colpo d’adrenalina pura per gli amanti del metal estremo.

Giving a follow up to a masterpiece like Black shining leatherà was hard, but C.F. confirms their unique class in creating a waird opus like this, true Black Metal.
