For the 30th anniversary we are proud to present you this special edition of HELHEIMs classic debut-album Jormundgand in various formats.
In 1995, only one year after their second demo, HELHEIM’s eponymous debut album Jormundgand made its appearance.
Marked by its nearly eight-minute title track, it immediately establishes a powerful presence with sharp drums, piercing guitars, intense musicianship, and a distinct vocal performance reminiscent of early screams of Count Grishnackh. The track “Jormundgand” stands as a defining moment in Black Metal, encapsulating the band’s epic style and Norwegian roots. However, it’s the consistent quality and cohesion of the entire album that truly cements its legendary status. Although musically and thematically still drawing inspiration from early ENSLAVED “Jormundgand” is far from being a carbon copy of said band.
Even thirty years after its release, “Jormundgand” retains its raw power and enduring energy, solidifying its place as a classic in the Black Metal genre.
Recorded in the legendary Grieghallen Studio, this album is still a living witness of a time full of awakening, rebellion, creativity and nordic coldness.
A truly timeless creation released exactly 30 years ago and which has lost none of its hseer power nor energy.
A long and detailed new interview about the time from 1992-1997 was conducted with the band exclusively for these current reissues.
The LP comes with a hugh 24-page 12” booklet including the interview and many never before-seen pictures.
An A2 poster will be added to every vinyl too.

Av Norrøn Ætt, HELHEIM`s second album released in 1997 basically continues where the band left off with their predecessor. All the elements present on Jormundgand are part of their sound again – only intensified and more proficient. Thus, Av Norrøn Ætt features more chaotic Black Metal, more pronounced folk and Viking influences, and an even grander epic scope. Only the high-pitched screaming vocals are gone and have been replaced by grim croaking. The album is intense and ambitious, with long, complex tracks that showcase intricate arrangements. Its title track especially stands out as a fusion of Black Metal, Viking music, and even prog-rock influences. Often compared to early ENSLAVED, particularly their Eld album from the same year, Av Norrøn Ætt represents a peak of creativity for HELHEIM. It remains their most ambitious work and a unique, unmatched moment in their discography. Av Norrøn Ætt truly ranks among the masterpieces of Norwegian Black Metal.

HELHEIM, founded in Bergen, Norway in 1992 were eager to establish themselves in the Norwegian Black Metal scene and released their first demo in 1993. Heavily influenced by BATHORY and including a cover of VENOM`s “Countess Bathory” to pay tribute to one of their foremost influences, the first demo, while being an interesting document of the time and showing potential, still lacked the depth and ambition of their later work.
Their second demo entitled Niðr Ok Norðr Liggr Helvegr and released in 1994 marked a major leap in style and quality. With a for a demo unusually long playing time of nearly 50 minutes, HELHEIM`s second effort saw the horde introducing female vocals, folk and Viking elements and even trumpets. Obviously influenced by compatriots ENSLAVED, it featured non-linear compositions and a unique sound. This demo is considered a landmark in Norwegian Metal and far surpasses the typical expectations of a demo release. It`s with Niðr Ok Norðr Liggr Helvegr that HELHEIM found their sound and catapulted themselves to the forefront of Norwegian Black Metal.

In 1993, in the midst of the second wave`s heyday, when numerous classic albums saw the light of day and many a blaze ignited the northern sky, GEHENNA were brought forth in Stavanger, Norway`s fourth largest city.
In the course of the same year their efforts resulted in their first and only demo Black Seared Heart which was released by the band on tape in very limited quantities.
The demo comprises 7 songs of which 3 are instrumentals serving as intro and outros respectively.
Although the demo reveals the members` at the time limited capabilites as musicians, it`s, by and large, a very enjoyable first recording with lasting qualities. The sound is leagues above the average demo production since Black Seared Heart was recorded in a studio.
The moody songs – for the most part played in moderate tempo – are written in a way that reveals GEHENNA as talented songwriters even at this early stage.
Notably, the keyboards, whose remarkable melodies would go on to become one of the band`s trademarks were already present on the demo.
As an added bonus the rerelease of Black Seared Heart comes with an instrumental, a song recorded at the rehearsal-room and most importantly a studio recording-session that was aborted before completion that was supposed to result in the band`s first EP First Spell.
The songs were completely new remastered by Patrick W. Engel at the Temple of Disharmony to ensure the best possible sound for this timeless Black Metal classic.
Luxurious hardcover digibook-CD.
It contains the new interview and many never before-seen pictures spread over a 28 pages booklet.
Released one year after their demo Black Seared Heart, it was First Spell that put GEHENNA on the map for real.
Originally released in 1994 by Metalion`s legendary label ‘Head Not Found’, the EP shows a band – even though only founded 1 year prior – already on top of their game. Each of the 5 tracks is a masterpiece in its own right. “The Shivering Voice Of The Ghost” or “Unearthly Loose Palace” – can it get more sombre than that?
Macabre and utterly dark, the highly original and memorable tracks are considerably enhanced by keyboardplayer extraordinaire Sarcana.
First Spell is one of the very best EPs ever done in Norway and belongs in every self-respecting Black Metal fan`s collection.
The songs were completely new remastered by Patrick W. Engel at the Temple of Disharmony to ensure the best possible sound for this timeless Black Metal classic.

Seen Through The Veils Of Darkness (2nd Spell) is GEHENNA`s first full-length album which was originally released in 1995.
They kept their characteristic sound intact, yet stepped each and every element of their sound up a notch or two. The highly melodic sound which has over the years become one of the band`s trademarks, presents itself refined with subtle details.
For the first time, GEHENNA dare to incorporate fast-paced passages into their songs too.
Considering the high compositional level of the album, one is simply awe-struck by the band`s enormous development within only 2 years since GEHENNA`s inception.
Seen Through The Veils Of Darkness (2nd Spell) is a symphonic Black Metal masterpiece and a highlight of the genre.

Darkness Shall Rise Productions are proud to continue its reissue campaign by rereleasing the band`s only demo for the very first time on LP, CD and tape. The track “Autopoema” recorded at the same time as the other songs but not included on the original demo makes its first appearance as a bonus.
Although based out of Trondheim, Norway and entering the scene exactly when (Norwegian) Black Metal reached its popular peak after having garnered – besides brilliant music – worldwide notoriety for various criminal activities like arson and murder, THE 3RD AND THE MORTAL set out to tread an entirely different path. As one of the first bands which dared to blend Doom Metal`s heaviness with ethereal female vocals and progressive influences – a formula that countless bands would go on to embrace globally – the young Norwegians set themselves apart and carved out their own unique niche from the very start.

Reissued in jewelcase format with slipcase with a rich booklet with liner notes and pictures!
“Abyss Calls Life” is the second album, considered a fine example of evolution towards a wider idea of extreme music.

Reissued in jewelcase format with slipcase with a rich booklet with liner notes and pictures!
Across The Veil Of The Past" is a collection of the "Connected Body Pentagram" demo, the "His Eyes" and "Bhoma" EPs, the experimental "Chrysalis Gold" EP, the pre-production demos of "Abyss Calls Life" and a couple of rare live-tracks recorded in 1996. Part of this material has been published in various reissues through time but with "Across The Veil Of The Past" finds its place in a single collection with a rich booklet with liner notes and pictures!
"Vedderbaug" second album from Norwegian black metal band LJÅ, marks a significant evolution from their 2006 debut, "Til avsky for livet."
While the first album delivered a raw, chaotic assault reminiscent of the second-wave black metal style, "Vedderbaug" offers relentless drumming, more ferocity with darker melodies.
Deeply rooted in traditional Norwegian black metal, "Vedderbaug" revealed a LJÅ more venomous with time.

"Nechrist" is probably the most peculiar record in Nokturnal Mortum's catalogue, simply because it's different from anything else they've done.
This is by far their angriest, fastest, darkest and most aggressive record, and as such it's often labelled as "messy" or "chaotic": while it might result a bit difficult to digest during the first listens, "Nechrist" is a grower, and its beauty will slowly unfold to the listener each time he comes back to it.
The album's production is quite raw, making a bit difficult to distinguish the fastest guitar patterns at times; the riffs generally consist in the traditional black metal tremolo picked frenzy, although slower sections are obviously present, with some interesting bridges here and there (the "breakdown" found at the end of "Night Before the Fight" is simply amazing).
The bass isn't always audible, but where you can hear it you can say its patterns are definitely interesting.
The drumming is astonishing, a real storm of blast beats and relentless double bass drumming, thus confirming Munruthel as the most technical drummer this band has ever laid its hands on.
Re-issue with the complete updated layout, remastered by the band itself, the most angry and furious album of the band.
Nokturnal Mortum strikes from the past with their monumental album “Weltanschauung”.
Originally released in 2005, this opus seamlessly blends elements of black metal, folk and epic symphonic music. With 14 powerful tracks that transport the listener into a world of myths, legends and heroic events, "Weltanschauung" remains a great and unique journey.
Almost 20 years ago after its original release, Osmose Productions is proud to issue properly and to make it finally available again all around the world.

"777 – Sects(s)" is an organic, cascading volume of deviant, dark art that exhibits BLUT AUS NORD’s natural habitat, a cleansing blade amid transitory moments of non-importance. Hypnotic guitars, discomforting beats and alienating voices clash with the ferocity of aural tectonic plates to produce horrific Black Metal decadence for an anonymous, lost, irrelevant generation.

"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."

Finnish black metal is an acquired taste. It's chaotic, noisy and pure evil.
This is a more mature release musically. The song structures have come a long way since Satanic Black Devotion, but still maintain everything this band is known for. There is definitely more of the signature intertwining guitar work, that weaves in and out amongst the chaos of the drums and ghastly vocals. It's that guitar work that takes the listener for an emotional roller coaster, especially on songs like "Burning Voice of Adoration", which has the ability to stir up absolute sadness and sorrow.
As for production, the formula is still the same. Turn everything up beyond reason and comprehension, almost to a breaking point. Seriously, prolonged exposure to this will probably make your houseplants wilt and die.

Grim Nihlistic Black Metal. This is a cold as death, Black Metal masterpiece!! Featuring members of HORNA & BEHEXEN, this is the Finnish BM supergroup! Perhaps the coldest release since DARKTHRONE's "Under A Funeral Moon"!
The riffing is fast, melodic, and in pure Finnish/Norwegian black metal roots heritage.
The band's melodic quality shines best in the track ‘Sargeist' on this album. It's absolutely heart wrenching. Dripping with anger and emotion. Regret, sorrow, hatred, ready to end it all. No Funeral. This is the real fucking deal.
Sargeist does a brilliant job breaking from blast-beats into a head banging steady rhythm that keeps me tapping my boot through the song at different rhythmically timed formations. It's in many ways traditional shit, done better than most groups out there.
Re-issue properly with a complete updated layout released with leading band member Shatraug himself as supervisor.

Pioneering French dark atmospheric music since 1996, Dark Sanctuary is back with their eighth album, Cernunnos, the first in fourteen years. Following the EP Iterum released in 2022, it marks the group's return to the front of the stage.
Cernunnos is an ancient Gaulish god who embodied the biological cycle of nature, simultaneously reflecting life and death, germination and decay, like the deer, the animal that represents him, who loses its antlers in winter to recover them in spring. This title perfectly symbolizes the history of Dark Sanctuary after these years of artistic break and this rebirth.
Composed during the year 2022, the 11 songs of this album make it one of the most varied that Dark Sanctuary have made so far, oscillating between what has characterized the band for two decades and new musical horizons. Both dark and emotional, Cernunnos is a new milestone in the history of the group.
