Stillamentum marks Gorrch’s long-awaited return, as well as the first collaboration between the duo and Avantgarde Music. Stillamentum is a full-length album steeped in claustrophobic intensity, dissonant chord structures, and relentless sonic tension. From punishing tremolo riffs and blasting drumming to cavernous production that evokes suffocating atmospheres, the record channels the band’s obsession with sound as ritual and catharsis. Gorrch push further into darkness with an unwavering commitment to raw emotion and existential dread, crafting a labyrinth of shadows and pain.

AKHLYS is yet another sonic exploration from the ultra-prolific Naas Alcameth, most known for Nightbringer and Bestia Arcana as well as Aoratos most recently and Temple of Not. AKHLYS began as a means for Naas Alcameth to explore the darkest and most ritualistic corridors of the dark ambient genre, but later on moved in a more black metal direction with ambient textures incorporated. Supplication was the project's debut album, originally released in 2009 on CD-R in an extremely limited edition; a proper CD version arrived in 2015, but also quite limited.

Pressed on green with black smoke heavy vinyl. Comes with a download card. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.

Driven by his 'personal daemon', Naas Alcameth (NIGHTBRINGER, BESTIA ARCANA, AORATOS) initiated AKHLYS in 2009 as a solo endeavour amid an ongoing fascination with ritualistic Dark Ambient music, and in tribute to the ancient Greek goddess of 'death-mist', daughter of chaos and bringer of misery from which the project takes its name.

Originally released 2009 on limited CD-R and last reissued in 2019, debut album "Supplication" is a tense and disturbing work of Horror Ambient. A trance-inducing, highly personal melding of spiritual and mythic nightmare via haunting synth, ominous sound design, ghostly vocalisations and percussive solemnity.

After MASTER’S HAMMER performed the last show in support of the album Fascinator in 2018, it seemed that the Czech legend’s story had finally come to a close for good. But luckily instead of having been laid to rest, the band only went into hibernation and is now back with a new album after 7 years!

Never the least concerned with fitting in, MASTER’S HAMMER refusal to be confined to certain genres and play by anybody’s rules, has resulted in many highly original albums that defied categorization. Unsurprisingly, “Maldorör Disco”, the band’s ninth album, follows in this direction and is yet another bold release by MASTER’S HAMMER, showcasing the group’s commitment to pushing boundaries. Although “Maldorör Disco” is still unmistakenly MASTER’S HAMMER it’s probably their most experimental and least Black Metal sounding album to date.

The album’s 10 tracks are composed mostly in “dancing” 130bpm tempo. Franta admitted that he danced while songwriting, and so did the other members, including Kamil Princ – the author of the keyboard solos. Honza Kapák’s drums are perhaps the best ever played on MH records, and we’re very happy to see (and hear) Mr. Necrocock again!

Besides the masterfully composed synthesizers and keyboards, the multiple voices appearing throughout the album and the way they are arranged play a pivotal role in “Maldorör Disco” too.
The visual presentation of the album deserves a special mention; Franta has again come up with some beautifully bizarre artworks. Marvelling at these surreal masterpieces and reading the disturbingly amusing lyrics while listening to the music is the right way to experience this album.
Listeners who enjoyed MASTER’S HAMMER’s previous efforts or who have a soft spot for the theatrical and unconventional in general, will find plenty to relish on “Maldorör Disco”. It’s an album that rewards attentive, adventurous listeners, delivering a journey that is as confounding as it is exhilarating. “Maldorör Disco” stands as a testament to MASTER’S HAMMER’S relentless drive to innovate and push forward with total disregard for conventions or expectations.

AMID, the third album of Berlin based AZKETEM whilst continuing their style known from previous releases, first and foremost, represents a sonically new chapter. Besides keeping with the tradition of christening his albums with a single word starting with the letter a, AMID is also proof that AZKETEM’s mastermind and sole member Azken is still driven to craft melancholic and densely atmospheric Metal.

Yet, while the bleak atmosphere the latest offering’s six tracks wallow in remains pretty much the same, the means by which these are being evoked rather strongly differ from previous efforts. Most strikingly, there’s various elements to be found on the album that are reminiscent of bands like TYPE O NEGATIVE, KATATONIA or even FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM.

Rearing its head out of the seemingly endless darkness of the north, Sweden based NATTRADIO are a rather recent born, obscure entity with so far only one full length album to their name. If the strength of their second album The Longest Night is anything to go by NATTRADIO’s obscurity should be over soon, though.

The album is characterised by a sombre and pervasive sense of melancholy that splendidly encapsulates themes of isolation and emotional struggle. Preferably listened to during the night’s darkest hours The Longest Night is a record that gently envelops you.

One of the band’s members by writing the following regarding NATTRADIO’s motives and sound perfectly characterizes the band:
“NATTRADIO was born out of sleepless nights. Every song is written and recorded between 01:00 and 05:00. The songs move through a nocturnal landscape we call Doom Noir – drawing from ’90s Gothic Doom, Darkwave, Ambient and at times, Noir Jazz. The goal is to capture night-time themes. These are stories from the hours after midnight, with grief as the central emotion.”

Despite drawing inspiration from various sources NATTRADIO’s soundscape has certainly most in common with KATATONIA’s era beginning with Discouraged Ones. Especially the singer’s voice sounds strikingly similar to Jonas Renkse. So much so that one can only wonder if it’s actually the KATATONIA singer’s characteristic melancholic voice singing to the sound noir.
The Longest Night stands as an evocative journey through the labyrinth of melancholy, offering listeners a soundscape both immersive and introspective.

Appearing right in time to accompany you on endless strolls during the most melancholic season, we heartily encourage you to do yourself a favour and obtain a copy of this marvellous album!

NATTRADIO is Niklas and Martin, known for collaborations with Anders Fridén (IN FLAMES) & Jonas Renkse (KATATONIA).

Norrsinnt’s returns with a haunting blend of dark folk and cinematic atmosphere in the second album ”Djupt inni skoga”. An album that is an invitation to step off the path, deep into the forest, and listen to the echoes that live between silence and sound. It is the esoteric solo project of Mathias Gyllengahm (Utmarken), turning the focus inward into solitude and reflection. It is a darker, more atmospheric journey into solitude, nature, and the human spirit.

”Djupt inni skoga” (“Deep Within the Forest”) presents a soundscape that is equal parts dark folk, ambient, and atmospheric metal. Clean vocals and distorted guitars merge with the mournful tones of the nyckelharpa, while instrumental passages drift into cinematic soundworlds reminiscent of forgotten, untamed landscapes.

Lyrically and sonically, the album is steeped in nature mysticism and existential reflection: a meditation shaped by a long and deeply personal creative process, since it was recorded over a period of 7 years. Some tracks stand out for their collaborative spirit, such as “Skogsmakt”, featuring guest contributions from members of Fejd (Sweden), Myrkgrav (Norway), and Byrdi (Norway) - voices and instruments that add new dimensions to Norrsinnt’s already expansive atmosphere.

Linnea Hjertén’s second album, “Steg för steg” (‘Step by Step’), offers both continuation and departure. It extends the ritual ambient and folk foundations of “Nio systrar” while opening new paths through lyrics and expanded instrumentation. Each track feels like a threshold: a step deeper into vulnerability, a step further into the unknown.

Traditional instruments anchor the record without confining it. Nyckelharpa and moraharpa – especially in minor modes and long, sighing notes – draw out a distinctly Swedish melancholy. Hjertén favours old tools in new contexts: keeping traditions alive, connecting to those who came before, and working with what the land provides.

Layers of voice carry the emotional weight; arrangements bloom from drones, framedrum pulse, and the hush between tones. Hjertén also draws on kulning, the ancient Nordic herding call, which rises briefly in pieces such as “Blodmåne” and “Alltet är intet”, reshaped through her own expression.

She records and mixes everything herself, ensuring an intimacy that seeps through every tone. Minimal means, maximal presence. Songs carried by breath and purpose rather than studio sheen. The result is folk-rooted Nordic ambient that places essence over ornament: step by step, surrender by surrender.

Deep in the Swedish hinterlands, Änterbila have forged “Avart” (‘Aberration’) – a blackened folk metal descent into the darker currents of national folklore. If their debut opened the door to a world of superstition, “Avart” strides further inside, told not from the perspective of the wandering listener but through the eyes of the adversary.

Here dwell the outcasts and the damned: the murderer fated long before the act, the smith whose forge burns with otherworldly fire, the troll king ruling unseen, the man cursed to live and die as the ulv. The stories are told without compromise, the music captured in stark immediacy – recorded with almost no retakes, shaped collectively yet still guided by the band’s founding vision.

The sound shifts between the unruly and the enchanted – riffs caked in grime, melodies veiled in the haze of old superstition. Echoes of Arckanum, Taake, and Panphage linger, yet Änterbila occupy a realm entirely their own. Violins, bagpipes, and spectral female vocals – courtesy of Thomas von Wachenfeldt, Halte Galten, and Malin Runefelt – weave bright threads through the darkness.

ASTAROTH was formed in Rome, Italy.
During its first two years the band played gigs and recorded their first demo tape, which lead to numerous interviews by Italian radio stations, including the Official Italian Network, RAI.
The following year (1985), Astaroth entered into a contractual agreement with the independent Dutch label, RAVE ON Records. Four songs were recorded at Stone Sound Studio, and one song was included in the “Rave On Hits Hard” compilation which also featured Mercyful Fate. Two months later the EP “The Long Loud Silence” was released.
Following the release of “The Long Loud Silence” a promotional tour began through Italy, Switzerland, Holland and Belgium; the European audience was shocked by the band’s unique and powerful style, as well as the tour’s concept. The band’s show is based on the “Ancient Roman” image, electrified to present day times. It features columns, temples and many changes of costume and atmosphere.
Many well-known magazines such as Kerrang” (England), Metal Hammer (Germany), Burnn (Japan), Enfer (France), Aardshok (Holland), Aardshok American (USA), Rockerilla, HM, Metal Shock, Ciao 2001, Tuttifrutti (Italy) gave Astaroth good reviews, and dubbed the band’s style of music “Centurion Metal”.
The EP “The Long Loud Silence” climbed to the top 20 charts of radio stations worldwide. Unfortunately the support of an independent label was too weak to boost the records up the selling charts. Astaroth’s own strong organization made some advancements however, twice performing on Italian television in programs such as “Discoring”, a kind of “Solid Gold” episode seen by million views, as well as opening for the English band Motorhead.
While Italy is famous in the word for pizza, spaghetti and the Coliseum, it is not so famous for its rock music industry. With no real metal market existing, Italian labels are reluctant to produce rock bands. For these reasons, Astaroth left Rave On Records, heading directly to Los Angeles, California.
Along with their earth-shattering sound, Astaroth has brought with them their Roman culture, their intense emotions, and the stamina of the gladiators hoping to find some “heavy” marble to build their new temples!

"An over 40 minute journey through the demo years of Irish raw black metal entity Fuil Na Seanchoille (“Blood of The Old Forest” in Gaelic), this CD collects the long out-of-print “Bitter Dusk of Futures Past” [2009] and “Demo MMVIII” (2008) cassettes, subsequently reissued on vinyl by Me Saco En Ojo in 2012. Remastered for Tour de Garde in 2019 by Jack Control at Enormous Door, these early emanations demonstrate a range of influences from Von, Beherit and Ulver to Darkthrone and pre "Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice." Deathspell Omega. Inspired by the history of Ireland from 12th Century B.C. until 1580 A.D., shamanic rage collides with hulking evil, channelled through a cavernous assault of primitive darkness. By turns darkly ambient and doom-laden, the sound veers from threateningly wild chaos to menacingly measured assault. Timeless black metal in the old-school tradition."

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

Exactly 8 years after June 2010's 'The Grave of Civilization' Void of Silence are back with a brand new album.
Although still based on the classic Conforti/Zara line-up core, the new album features again a new lead vocalist (Luca Soi, of Arcana Coelestia and Visthia past).
 

Formed in 2020, VAMPYRIC TYRANT are a Teutonic black metal duo forged in the fires of old. The band is helmed by ex-Grabunhold member Graf Nekromant, joined by drummer Akatash. As foretold by their moniker, VAMPYRIC TYRANT indeed offer an iteration of vampiric black metal, but one locked in the dungeon of the '90s, as well as equally pursuing the epic ruminations of the legendary Moonblood.

Now joined under the banner of PURITY THROUGH FIRE and with the addition of bassist König Grausamkeit, VAMPYRIC TYRANT enter their next epoch with a four-song/19-minute EP fittingly titled Zorn und Hass. Grim yet stately, raw yet refined, the ghoulishness they offer here is as ethereal as it is insistent. More than that, each of the four tracks offers its own labyrinth of nostalgia and despair, perhaps hitting its sorrowful peak with the crying-orc instrumental "Ein Traum." Then, Zorn und Hass concludes in mesmerizingly hooligan fashion with the six-minute, organ-led "Totschlag."

The digipack edition include a bonus DVD with behind the scenes footage and expanded artwork.

SKUGGSJÁ is the epic sound of Norway's Norse history as told through harder music by Ivar Bjørnson (ENSLAVED) and Einar Selvik (WARDRUNA). Written by Bjørnson and Selvik for the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian Constitution, SKUGGSJÁ tells the history of Norway to the present day by highlighting ideas, traditions and instruments of their Norse past. In a magnificent tapestry of metal instrumentation, a wide variety of Norway and Scandinavia’s oldest instruments, and poetry in Proto-Scandinavian, Norse and Norwegian, SKUGGSJÁ fuses past and present, both lyrically and musically, and reflects on themselves as a people and nation.

Blood Incantation’s Absolute Elsewhere is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. Few can claim a sonic watershed as readily as the Denver, Colorado quartet. At roughly 45 minutes, the two compositions that make up this album are as confounding as they are engaging in their scope, melding the 70's prog leanings of Tangerine Dream (whose Thorsten Quaesching appears on „The Stargate [Tablet II]”) with the deathly intent of Morbid Angel. Blood Incantation has already proven themselves, perfecting progressive death metal with 2019's Hidden History of the Human Race while branching out into exclusively synth-driven soundtrack territory with 2022's Timewave Zero. Now, with Absolute Elsewhere, which takes its title from the mid-70's prog collective (best known as a celestial stopover for King Crimson drummer, Bill Bruford), Blood Incantation are leaving the notion of genre behind and writing a new language for extreme music itself

Lazer Throne’s debut full-length album, Tomb of the Lunar Oracle, opens a portal to the void with genre-bending cosmic atmospheric black metal. The journey begins at the entrance of a massive tomb orbiting a dead star, then hurtles you across time and space as you claw at neon fabric woven from melancholic, brassy synthesizers dripping with celestial blood.

Every sonic and visual element serves the underlying mythos that unfolds throughout the album. Blade Runner-esque synth passages flow into buzzy guitar textures and doomy riffs punctuated by relentless blast beats. In this concept album, the music of Lazer Throne guides you deep into the tomb and toward stars that burn their visage upon a wavering sea heaving at the loss of its moon.

Through immense, haunting soundscapes that emphasize atmosphere and meticulous sound design, Lazer Throne creates an accretion disk of new sound – a cosmic form that pulses and shimmers as it draws from dungeon synth, darksynth, and the blackened corners of doom and thrash to birth something wholly unique among the stars.
