Chelsea Wolfe enters a new era with her forthcoming album The Dark, shaped by a period of letting go, transformation, and confronting inner shadows. Written from a place of becoming “the darkest thing in the woods,” it moves through darkness rather than away from it, sharpening her blend of mysticism, memory, grief, and desire into something heavier, more immediate. Produced with Jennifer Decilveo (Hozier, Hinds, Bat for Lashes) and featuring collaborators from Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Tori Amos, and Air. Sharper and heavier than ever, The Dark is where beauty meets ruin.

XASTHUR founder Scott Conner, an astute chronicler of the dark side of the American dream, has come to terms with the idea that his work can confuse people and be misread. He just accepts that reality now. This notion is clearly expressed in the title of his new work "Open to Misinterpretation". This insight has also firmed his resolve to neither change his artistic direction nor to attempt making his music easier for people to access. Conner is just not interested in chasing what has worked for other people or fitting neatly into a genre. This does not mean that XASTHUR are standing still. "Open to Misinterpretation" represents a deeper and more developed version of what Conner already does. He keeps honing his expression and to find new sounds and moods for his ideas. As a result, his songwriting has become equally more detailed as well as harder to predict at the same time. The production has audibly been cleared up, even though Conner still aims for the recording process to feel live, organic, and real. "Open to Misinterpretation" probably feels more complete because these songs have already been performed live on stage due to XASTHUR's prior touring activities on both sides of the Atlantic. With "Open to Misinterpretation", the American delivers a more focused and more confident album that realises the evolution and expression of Scott Conner's sound to a point that makes it harder to misunderstand this artist's intentions. Well, and if anyone does, he has come to accept it as an integral part of XASTHUR's music.

“And a magic dwells in each beginning”

Enthralled by occultism and the magic of Black Metal SECRETS OF THE MOON was originally brought forth by bassist and singer Daevas after his departure from MARTYRIUM in Osnabrück in 1995. Thanks to a tremendous discography – amongst a multitude of releases most notably spanning seven full-length albums – and countless shows performed domestically and abroad, SECRETS OF THE MOON – within the ensuing 27 years until its termination in 2022 – would go on to put its name on the map as one of Germany’s most revered dark Metal bands.

Prior to unleashing their first album Stronghold of the Inviolables in 2001 the mischievous collective managed to produce a body of work comprising two demos – Unearthed Arcana and Vanitas – Promotape 98, the notorious and never officially published Moondance Madness tape and the cult Split 7” EP with LUNAR AURORA. Although less known than their albums, these dusty relics from the dark past are no less significant. Naturally way rawer and unpolished than the studio albums, what these recordings may lack in sophistication is all made up for by the mystical charm pervading their every second.

All of these raw diamonds from SECRETS OF THE MOON’s formative period with many obscure recordings especially unearthed for this compilation on top, Darkness Shall Rise Productions now have the great pleasure to reissue in the shape of this marvellous compilation.

A new in-depth interview with Lars “Devas” Plegge and Phil “sG” Jonas was done especially for this release and the booklets also includes many never seen before pictures of the groups glorious past.

Over 130 minutes of pure BLACK METAL MAGIK!

THEODOR BASTARD refuse to stay still. In the five years of relative silence since their previous studio venture, the world music pioneers were searching for a way out of the darkness that’s descended over reality. The path that they discovered didn’t lead back to their home in the harsh northern forest region of Karelia but away from it, into the coldness of the city and a collapsing civilization. By reconnecting with their electronic roots, THEODOR BASTARD are reborn on a new album mysteriously called 'V'.

'V' reflects just how much has changed since the world last heard from the band. While still widely recognized internationally as leaders for ritual folk and world music, THEODOR BASTARD have re-embraced their early electronic impulses because that’s now how modern life feels: cold, sharp, tense. Long-time fans were pleasantly surprised when the pulse-pounding analog synths of “Nebo” first appeared in the award-winning Russian crime drama ‘The Method’, but the album’s lead single is a sure sign that they’re bound for dark new horizons. Like a space shuttle, “Sverkay” rumbles with distorted bass before it’s suspended high above the earth by a trap-like beat.

“Vdokh – vydokh” ("inhale - exhale"), sings a bewitching Yana Veva as she glimpses what’s to come from our dangerous endgame with war, technology and social division. To a world that’s mired in its own deadly trance, 'V' arrives like a much-needed slap across the face. The album was created during a long and trying period for THEODOR BASTARD. It offers little comfort: its anger, confusion and disappointment are hurled at the outside world, which through our own actions, is tipping over the edge. The aggressive “Vedma” surges with black cosmic energy, as if summoning the apocalypse. But the band aren’t without hope. At their core, the ritual spirit remains. “Ostavlyaem” dances as light as a feather, only to transcend this earth for a place amongst the stars.

With 'V', THEODOR BASTARD return with dark electronics for dark times.

For fans of HEILUNG, GARMARNA, WARDRUNA.

SAOR is Andy Marshall's one-man vehicle for what he calls Caledonian Metal: an atmospheric black metal sound built from Highland landscapes and Scottish ancestral memory. Since founding the project in Glasgow in 2013, Marshall has grown SAOR from a cult curiosity into one of the genre's most distinctive voices.
‘Caledonia’ gathers five songs first heard on ‘Roots’, ‘Aura’ and ‘Guardians’ and rebuilds them from the ground up, produced by Chris Fielding. This isn't a remaster or a victory lap. Marshall wrote these songs before he had the resources or the mileage to realise them fully, and over a decade of touring has reshaped how they live and breathe on stage. The album opens with "Aura MMXXVI", a hushed procession through forests and corries that sets the record's terms early: patience, scale, and a reverence for landscape that never tips into pastiche. "The Awakening MMXXVI" answers with something more urgent, a call to old ways and older gods dressed in Marshall's most direct lyric writing on the record, the kind of song built to be shouted back at a festival crowd. "Carved in Stone MMXXVI", the album's centrepiece and lead single, carries the clearest sense of destiny and prophecy in the track list, its widescreen production giving the song's ancestral imagery real physical weight. "Hearth MMXXVI" turns inward, trading myth for something closer to memory, a meditation on home and belonging that grounds the record before its close. "Tears of a Nation MMXXVI" ends the album on its most elegiac note, mourning loss and ruin in a way that feels earned rather than performed, closing the circle the record opened with.
Guest contributions from strings, whistle, pipes and additional vocals widen the textures throughout without diluting the atmosphere, and the sequencing across all five songs traces a clear arc from landscape to legend to loss.

After over a decade of silence, one of the best-kept secrets in the Italian underground scene is rising from the ashes. JANVS, the Roman god of beginnings, passages and endings, is a black metal entity formed in Genoa over two decades ago, which may have fallen through the tides of time for many, but never really forgotten.

In the mid ‘00s JANVS released two of the most personal and interesting black metal records ever to come out of Italy, Fulgures (2007) and Vega (2008), mixing excellent songwriting to a profound latin cultural heritage. A few years later the band re-recorded and officially released their early songs in Nigredo (2014) before disappearing into the waves of the Mediterranean sea. We were incredibly excited when composer and multi-instrumentalist Matteo “Vinctor” Barelli told us the band was working on new music once again. JANVS lineup is once again completed by Massimo "m:A Fog" Altomare on drums and Claudio "Malphas" Fogliato on bass, and the trio is ready to release the new EP Fatum Est.

In their own word, in Fatum Est, each song draws on a myth, a figure, or an episode from the Hellenic tradition, reshaping and deconstructing its narrative into an existential vision that is both intimate and universal.

This work is dedicated to those who defy the gaze of the gods, burning without oxygen in infinitesimal and eternal moments of beauty and death, drowned in the void of a cosmos eternally identical to itself, devoid of any purpose. Moving forward from the softer atmospheres of Vega, expect intensity and desperate cosmic ferocity.

Back in 2021, Blodtår announced themselves with a self-titled EP steeped in black metal mysticism. The following full-length, “Det förtegna förflutna” (2023), revealed a project capable of refined structure and melodic discipline without sacrificing intensity. Now, on their third release, the Stockholm-based duo ventures deeper still.

Where earlier works balanced woodland atmosphere with icy composure, “Monark” is driven by something more volatile. Conceived in the aftermath of a personal tragedy, the album took shape with uncompromising urgency. The opening track, “Blodtår”, emerged directly from that moment, setting the tone for a work which moves through overwhelming spiritual pain toward a fragile yet undeniable light.

Musically, the folk-infused melodic language remains central – particularly across the first half – but now intertwines with passages evoking older, more archaic currents reminiscent of early Enslaved and Falkenbach. Norse-tinged motifs surface alongside the band’s established Scandinavian melancholy, while the latter half explores tonal shifts that feel brighter, though never unscarred. Beginning in darkness and concluding in illumination, “Monark” traces recurring cycles of mental collapse and resurgence with unflinching honesty.

Hailing from western Norway and Sweden, MØRKGRIM is a Norwegian/Swedish Folk-Black Metal entity devoted to occult heathen Norse traditions and the darker currents of the old ways. The debut, a concept album, is entitled "Sogur frá Norðfirði" (means "Tales from Nordfjord").
MØRKGRIM was founded in 1994 by Hrafngrímnir as a one-man Black Metal project during the golden years of the genre. Several songs were written in the early days, but never recorded, as Hrafngrímnir was active in other Black Metal bands at the time.
By 1999, he began to leave the Black Metal scene behind, feeling that the genre was losing its true soul and becoming something detached from its original spirit. He moved into other forms of music, still the old darkness never left him.
Decades later, Hrafngrímnir decided to awaken MØRKGRIM, but only if it could be done with the right spirit. He moved to a remote farm, far from modern comfort, where he still lives without ordinary modern utilities such as a flushing toilet or municipal water. There, surrounded by raw nature, silence and isolation, the first MØRKGRIM album was written and recorded. It is a tribute to raw nature, the old gods, ancient Norse magick, and the Old Ways, not as image, but as a way of life.
In 2023, Nils “Dominator” Fjellström joined MØRKGRIM. Known for his work with Dark Funeral, Aeon, In Battle, The Wretched End, Myrkskog and Nordjevel, his drumming brought a new level of violence and precision to the project.
Forged in isolation and rooted in the spirit of the early 90s, MØRKGRIM is Black Metal returned to its source with a blend of raw oldschool aggression and immersive acoustic folk/norse elements.

"Originally released in a limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies in February 2009, this hidden gem is now available to a wider audience. Featuring re-recorded drum parts and a bonus track, the definitive version of this self-titled debut album by DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT showcases the immense talent of the German trio."

DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT masterfully achieves the feat of making their Black Metal both ethereal and incredibly intense. With a strong focus on atmosphere, they blend ultra-fast riffs and supersonic blasts with mesmerizing melodies. This German trio once again demonstrates that the Teutonic scene is one of the most exciting today. Think of KRALLICE with more brutality and LITURGY with less psychedelia; DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT modernizes Black Metal without compromising its essence. A MUST LISTEN!"

Bloedmaan, returns with its third studio album “Circle of the Moon”, barely 1 year after the second full length album «Vampyric War in Blood» and 3 years since the debut album “Castle Inside the Eclipse. Like its predecessors the ingredient to Bloedmaan’s music varies very little from the main course, so those who are familiar with the previous records already know what to expect.

Rönarg’s signature guitar sound filled with the illustrious melodies never wavers to fail to draw the complete attention of the audience, Once again, one can drift away into the world of vampirism and linger on a journey leaded by the splendid guitar work accompanied by blasting drums and sharp bass elements which are entangled in a raw, yet clear production.

Just like on the previous record, there’s also room for a little bit of experimental addition, such as the ghost like ballad which’s magic really comes to life due to the haunting clean vocals. Furthermore Rönarg delivers again a disgusting form of shrieking vocals throughout the entire album that praises the sound of the dead.

Each song stands as a milestone on this record and yes, Bloedmaan has done it again! Another masterpiece of a record has been added to its fast growing discography! Every old school black metal fan, yet, fans of melodic black metal or even symphonic black metal (old emperor fans) will most likely enjoy this record from start til finish. Vampyric Melodic Black Metal at its finest!

The album comes with a 16 page booklet + Poster and full artwork design. Limited to 500 copies on CD.

Draugr, a frequently new band hailing from the Carinthia area in Austria delivers forth their second full length album “Ahnenfeuer - Ginnungagap Chaos Pt. I”.

On this record Draugr shows a more mature side as their musicianship has drastically evolved compared to their debut album “Unter Yggdrasils Schatten”, which was released 2 years ago. The production of the album is clear, yet heavy and the overall sound is super professional which is exactly what this type of music needs.

The music itself can be compared to second wave black metal, old school riffing, furious blasting, pumping basslines and harsh shrieking vocals although the album. The guitars deliver some nice melodic parts, to beautiful tremolo picking and back to super-fast classic chord riffing, where the drums come in as a natural support to the guitars if not being the leading instrument that takes this album to a higher level with all the extra elements that are hearable in the background. The bass guitars riffs its way through the album with fury and absolute aggressiveness which gives the album that heavy low sound to bang your heads too. And the vocals as said above are harsh, shrieking and above all well mixed into the music which makes the album very pleasant to listen too.

Draugr definitely managed to deliver a fantastic beast of a second album that all fans of Classic Black Metal to Pagan Black Metal will be able to enjoy from start til end. Pure Black Metal Madness is what you can expect on this record! Hail Loki.

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
 

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.

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.

Digipack limited to 500 Copies
Orchestral Fantasy Music / Epic Dungeon Synth

“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….

THE EPIC NEW STUDIO ALBUM FROM THE LONG-STANDING JAPANESE METAL PIONEERS, INCLUDING GUEST APPEARANCE FROM OPETH'S MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT.

Japanese metal pioneers Sigh formed in 1989/1990. Their genre-classic Black Metal debut ‘Scorn Defeat’ arrived in 1993, & with a subsequent journey through the strange & the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & ideas throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field whilst maintaining their old school roots, as witnessed on the 2022 album (& first for Peaceville Records), ‘Shiki’. This was followed by the remaking of their ‘Hangman’s Hymn’ album as part of the band’s 35th anniversary celebrations, in the shape of ‘I Saw The World’s End: Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV’ (2025).

Considered as somewhat of a natural evolution, yet an even more diverse leap over the already compositionally & dynamically accomplished ‘Shiki’ opus, Sigh returns with ‘Goh-ka’; a new highlight of atmosphere, technical mastery, & meticulously arranged epics of metallic grandeur.

Main-man Mirai Kawashima notes this as being as equally personal an album as ‘Shiki’, both musically & lyrically. From a musical perspective, if you were to place the main ingredients of Celtic Frost, Voivod, Black Sabbath, horror movies & Japan into a cauldron & stir it, you will get ‘Goh-ka’. Numerous additional spices such as psychedelic rock, prog rock & classical music are also evident over the album’s close to one-hour duration.

The primary theme permeating the album is Kuso-zu; a series of Buddhist paintings or illustrations depicting the nine stages of a human body's decomposition after death, created to encourage meditation on the impermanence of life, the inevitability of death, & the detachment from physical beauty & worldly attachment. It openly shows the harsh reality that no matter how beautiful you are, you’ll be dead & rot sooner or later. And Kuso-shi is a poem based on these paintings. The artworks on the cover & in the booklet of ‘Goh-ka’ are therefore Kuso-zu themselves.

Among the additional contributors to the album, Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth notably delivers a special guest guitar solo on the track, ‘Unputenpu’.

This edition of ‘Goh-ka’ is presented on digipack CD format, including a 12 page booklet.
