180g splatter vinyl edition!

Reverse board printed sleeve, 20-page booklet on uncoated art paper, black paper inner sleeve with a protective layer, designed download card for the digital album.

On their debut album "Aegis", FLAME, DEAR FLAME have erected a truly distinct sound, characterized by the stirring performance of vocalist Maren Lemke, whose simultaneously airy yet powerful voice fuses with the memorable riff craft on display to create 7 towering tracks that are sure to capture the ears of listeners eager to hear an innovative take on a genre that too often conforms to stereotypes.

"Aegis" is a work thematically divided into two parts. The first part, entitled "The Millennial Heartbeat", details the genesis of the ocean and the thanatography of the land, a testimony of the forces of nature and its frailty alike, performed in three movements and featuring a classical epic doom approach, rife with gargantuan riffs and percussion as well as soaring clean vocals, yet interspersed with thoughtfully placed and paced clean sections. Serving as a contrasting and complementary second part of the album, "The Wolves and the Prioress" consists of four movements focusing more on acoustic folk elements, further enriching FLAME, DEAR FLAME's engrossing sound, and details the story of a feral child that falls into the custody of a sage prioress.

All of these elements result in a unique combination of righteous doom and subtle, yet noble acoustic folk. Each track is accompanied by a visual representation composed by Karmazid. The culmination of the album’s visuals is its stark cover artwork, laden with elegant symbolism in rich detail, created by Kodex Barbaricus.

Solid sleeve, heavy stock insert, A2 poster on uncoated paper, black paper inner sleeve with a protective layer, designed download card for the digital album.

On "Arete", NETHERBIRD return with their signature melodic black/death metal that has become their hallmark. It is deeply rooted in the Scandinavian underground legacy, yet delivered with a strong sense of feel and urgency, allowing these tracks to exude the confidence and songwriting prowess of a band at the peak of their craft. The album itself is the third installment of the trilogy that started on “The Grander Voyage” and continued on “Into the Vast Uncharted”. The journey has come to its completion with this album, where the very concept of Arete – the classic ideal of excellence – is scrutinized from various angles in these songs.

That applies to the intensity of the color swap and the amount of effect to be seen in every platter. The same goes for audio quality and background noise, which may occur especially on color mix and color specials.

Mara, the Swedish Pagan Black Metal Horde returns with their 4th Full length album «Loka Mær». Stronger than before, the horde unleashes 6 new songs in the very same style as their predecessor “RÖK”. The sound of Mara is clear, ferocious, hateful and very much entangled with the fury of 2nd wave Scandinavian Black Metal, like it should be!
“Loka Mær” is therefore a godlike album in the Pagan Black Metal genre and will surely stand out among the masses. A true treat to every Pagan but also 2nd wave Black Metal fan who adore the old school sound of true Scandinavian Black Metal!

20 page booklet and full artwork design.

«The Bitter End of Old» is the 9th full length album by the Portuguese Black Metal Legends Corpus Christii. On this opus the band have seem to find a way to surpass all their previous records in production as well on musical approach by a clear mile. A combination of old school black metal tradition with new sought elements that create a blasphemous atmosphere filled with darkness and evil.

The guitars are mesmerizing, filled with heaviness and the right dose of melodies where the bass guitar underlines the heaviness and yet have a clear production together. The drums have their own pattern and stand out by delivering the right punch on the snare and kick, finalized by the exact same punch on the fill sound. And last but not least, the vocals are harsh, hateful and preach pure torment and blasphemy.

 Clearer, cutting, and more crushing, Disembodied doesn't so much as dispense with the previous album's style as it simply sharpens it to a dangerous degree. Indeed, INSINERATEHYMN give a masterclass in '90s death metal, from the spiraling vortexes of early Tampa to the sewage to come from New York, on to eerie emanations from Europe and the dissonance at the dawn of the new millennium. Naturally, the band bend those classic tropes in a variety of ways, all of which bespeak their own identity: scuzzy, slicing, clanging, angular, brutal beatdown, ignorant stomp, or just straightforward killshot - no weapon is left aside. Simply, Disembodied is a death metal record for death metal maniacs, by death metal maniacs who understand and appreciate the rich-yet-codified history of the genre.

The key elements of the album lie in the excellent songwriting that emphasizes the quality of the instrumentation, where the guitars exude an otherworldly experience. ‘Echoing Chambers of Souls‘ navigates through plenty of styles. Each track on the album slithers along creepy passages. Even though the band applies a touch of its progressive elements, the dark guitar effects make it so unreal and effective.

 ASTRAL TOMB take the slimy sound of their short-lengths in spacier, more smoked-out directions, almost jamming on slamming grooves but giving it a grossness that unsettles - indeed, Soulgazer as depiction. Elsewhere, the trio's technique and precision is startling to behold, especially when they effortlessly let loose the reins and slip & slide across the corners of chaos, only to right the (space)ship into waters equally unnerving. For if anything, Soulgazer seeks to UNcomfort the listener, taking him/her to places as-yet-dreamt and making them manifest within alternately intelligent/ignorant death metal barbarity. Which is all to say nothing of the utterly melted solos sprinkled across the record or the actually-really-beautiful moments of clean-toned placidity...

 SACRILEGA's debut album is a veritable firestorm of finessed fury - malice, malevolence, and mesmerizing visions writ large across throttling death metal songwriting both classic and contemporary. Driving that propulsion is underground drum-god Paulus Kressman, whose veritable eight octopus arms create a dizzying, dread-inducing landscape for his bandmates to slay with their razor-wire strings. Their songwriting always pushes forward with a near-bestial pulse that cannot be denied; still, attention is duly paid to detail within riffing and atmosphere alike, elevating The Arcane Spear beyond a mere exercise in ultraviolence. SACRILEGA thus locate that elusive balance between the cunningly precise and rabidly maximal, placing due emphasis on the songwriting itself and allowing the execution to tell the grandiose-yet-doomed tales it so requires.

Aptly titled Explosions, PHENOCRYST now reveal their debut recording. Totaling five tracks (one instrumental) over 23 minutes, Explosions unsettles with preternatural ease, reeking of death stench and obscure delirium. PHENOCRYST are proudly and purely death metal, but are emboldened in their liberation to explore within this rich language: Only Death is Realer.

Hailing from Adelaide, Australia's CHARNEL ALTAR formed in late 2018. Not long after, the band's self-titled debut demo followed in January 2019.

 Horrific and harrowing, churning and gestating with utter dread and doom, CHARNEL ALTAR's death metal is like a slo-mo melting of mind and matter. One could arguably qualify it as death-doom, but the band's version of such evades easy categorization and aims more for hovering tension and paradoxically spacious density - indeed, like old(er)-school death metal dragged through tar but trudging forward like a tank.

The Greek black metal coven Acherontas has long been known for the vital connection between their occult spirituality and their music: Each fuels and guides the other. There is no reason to think that has changed (to the contrary, it hasn’t), but with their new album The Seven Tongues of ΔΑΗΜΩΝ the band have announced their entry into a new phase of existence, a final reincarnation and a new era of continuity that is in part signified by a new expression of their name: ΑΧΕΡΟΝΤΑΣ.

As captured in the album’s name, it consists of seven ritualistic hymns, expressed as offerings upon the altars of Seven Gods — a “Mission of Seven Hells and Seven Destinations” — still rooted in ancient esoteric sources.  

Digipack

Mysticism, magic, occult arts and rituals, all of which are driving factors behind ACHERONTAS, are also the most adequate words that can be used to describe the band's image, sound and lyrics. The band is considered as one of the leading representatives of the New Wave of Greek Black Metal, heavily influenced by the original Hellenic metal scene, retro rock (especially the 70's rock) and eastern philosophy.

Deus Otiosus release their first studio album, not counting a (live) demo and split with Hideous Invasion, six years after they were spawned. The artwork, inlay and booklet of 'Murderer' are all somewhat gloomy and desolate. Bang on it appears, because musically, these five Danes also deliver a rather dark, mean and desolate blend of death metal, mixed with the sound and atmosphere of sombre, rancid black metal. They manage to do so without losing aggression or bogging down into lugubrious, spun out soundscapes. No, Deus Otiosus prefers keeping it simple, uptempo and gritty and the Danes do this just fine. They should go with the 'keep it simple' idea a bit more even, because the odd solo on 'Murderer' does not add much. A decent bit of straightforward blackened death, all in all.

The Republic of Desire's music is very experimental, fusing modern extreme metal with industrial, noise, drum 'n' bass, neoclassical, industrial, and jazz.

Listen to believe !

 

Raw & Hypnotic Black Metal.
New EP
 

The new full-length album by Evoke Thy Lords, the key representatives of the Siberian doom scene. Each work of Siberians differs in one way or another from the previous one preserving, however, well-recognized features of the band: a powerful, tightening groove and the sounds of flute amplifying the hypnotic effect. The "Lifestories" evolves into psychedelic doom metal from adjacent styles demonstrating original interpretation of life stories and a unique view of the musical genre.
 

Ristampa 2013 per la Old Temple.
Secondo full-length di questa band chilena death metal.
 

under nickname 1,4,1,13 hides the creative mind behind the S.I.V. project: an atmospheric and elegant offering of shoegaze/post black metal with fine influences taken from the likes of Katatonia and Alcest, while vocals verge on a swedish-DSBM style!
 

Definitely the most unusual release in the whole Sivyj Yar’s discography with Novgorod gusli being the main instrument.
The artist defines this album as 'neo-medieval nocturnes' and dedicates it to Yuri Mirolyubov (1892-1970), the discoverer (well, most likely, the Author) of the mysterious 'Book of Veles', literally the main influence on the Eastern European paganism revival.

Belgium’s one man death-doom project “Gateway” unleashes its self-titled debut, the follow-up to last year’s well received 3-track demo “Aeternae"

“As dark and suffocating as strapping an oxygen mask to your truck’s muffler. Play at loud volume and watch worms come out of the ground with the sheer reverb produced.”

In 1998, an EP that would come to reshape the entire landscape of black metal emerged: “Mystérion Tés Anomias”, by an unknown new Swedish act called OFERMOD. While the band returned to obscurity for an additional decade before releasing a debut, their legacy had already started taking on a life of its own. Now almost twenty years after it all began, we find ourselves at the dawn of the nocturnal sun. Behold the radiant gaze of “Sol Nox”, OFERMOD’s long-anticipated third album. 1. The Alpha of the Omega

depressive black metal .It's what Burzum did best on Dunkelheit and what bands like Make A Change… Kill Yourself and Abyssic Hate excel at to varying degrees. Ömheten's debut album is explosive and, at times, mesmerising. From the opening screams of Det som släcker mig we are in a mid-paced unending soul-crushing hell. The leads on second track Själv are upliftingly morose and the prominent bass is more than welcome.


 

Summit of the two German masters of instrumental post metal/post rock from North of Bavaria. The former SWITCHBLADE worshippers MOUNT LOGAN surprise with their turn towards weird Albini-esque noise rock deconstructions, occasionally even with vocals added. OMEGA MASSIF, as you would expect from them, once again create a dard, moody and opulent soundscape with heavy crushing guitars and irresistible killer grooves."
 

"JUDGEMENT is the second album from this sadly underrated band, whos debut has been on regular rotation in this household since its inception back in 2014. Although the Negative Plane vibe surely is present, for obvious reasons, the band offers something even more ghastly, reminiscent of early Mortuary Drape and the classic early Rotting Christ-era, to mention some influences. I for one was not sure how they could top the debut, but it’s safe to say they have outdone themselves on this one. Definitively an album of the year for me, and I’m elated to be able to present not only their sophomore album, but a repress of the debut ‘Omniscient’ will be available at the same time, August 28th, 2020. What more fitting timing than the beginning of a new plague era.»
