Back from the depths of Okinawan graves, dead souls chant occult folklore tales from the ancient Ryukyu realms.
Seiden is the only Black Metal band existent in Okinawa (JP), strongly sourced by original and edgy black metal (from Mayhem to Portal), with powerful drums, 8 sting guitars and evilish undertone vocals the sonic experience of Seiden is similar to deep diving into an ocean of ghosts and shadows.
Seiden is playing live with traditional Okinawa Taiko and Shamisen which crafts a unique atmosphere unique to the undergrounds of Okinawa.
A collection of ugly and beautiful tales played by anguished spooks.
Finally the heretic Japanese black metal YVONXHE had completed their second album. With the appearance of a solemn relic, a flood of beautiful melodies that control a sense of loneliness are constructed by layering chords as vivid as fresh blood, creating a new frontier of black metal! What will you witness? Be invited to the dark valley where Spooks dwell...
This album, written between 2022 and 2024, is thematically a continuation of the previous album (Genetic Grief). It explores the past through the lens of our ancestors and is a link to the present. One of the bridges linking the past and the present is nature. Nature, which has witnessed everything, has seen everything and brings the knowledge and stories of our ancestors to us. In this album, the focus is on the ancient Georgian tree cult, which existed in Georgia before our era. Our ancestors believed that the souls of dead people moved into the tree branches and leaves. To me, this is the most beautiful formulation of the state after death among all the versions presented by religions. The nature of Georgia holds many secrets; my goal and desire is to delve as deeply as possible into these stories and to feel them as intensely as possible.
The first full-length album from America’s most vile and raw black metal act, Ärid. Utterly evil and utterly devastated, it is composed of feral performances that sound as though a forsaken, dying body has gathered its last strength to annihilate the enemies who abandoned it. Beyond the rusted gates, the revenge of the slaughtered victims dreams in silence. First-ever CD edition from Hidden Marly Production!
Second Full-Length Album. Emerging once more from the abyss, the American purveyors of depraved and primitive Black Metal, Ärid, return with their second full-length offering. Exhumed from subterranean catacombs reeking of cursed remains and maggot-spawned decay, this work channels raw, unholy energy into a performance both violent and mesmerizing. As the all-consuming twilight sinks into the abyss of ruin, the grave is sealed in sulfurous flesh and petrified stone — a monument to absolute corruption and death. First-ever CD edition from Hidden Marly Production

Lofi Epic BM /Dungeon Synth from Mexico
On this fourth opus, the project descends into its most primitive essence. While the previous works unveiled more polished medieval atmospheres and epic soundscapes, here the focus is on a deliberately raw sound, unrefined in its mix, carrying the rough edge of early ’90s demos. "Unholy Empire Trilogy" consists of three tracks, each 11:11 minutes long, reaching a total of 33:33. This is no accident, but rather a ritualistic continuity with past works, share that same symbolic duration. Each composition is crafted with strategic intent: the first track opens with black metal fury, the second conceals its black core at the very heart, and the third holds it back until the climactic end. The dungeon passages are never mere filler — they serve as connective tissue, binding the black metal surges with atmosphere and lyricism rooted in Luciferian and medieval imagery. A dark march where the echoes of medieval catacombs intertwine with the thunder of battle, delivering a manifesto of raw epic medieval black metal!!

Austin Lunn’s journey carried Panopticon from the urban density of Louisville to the remote northern reaches of Minnesota. It is here, surrounded by a landscape both inspiring and endangered, that “Det hjemsøkte hjertet” took shape. The album follows an elder hermit in the final week of his life, interweaving childhood memories with a lament for an ecosystem transformed by modern encroachment.
Dense, atmospheric, and unmistakably cinematic, “Det hjemsøkte hjertet” (‘The Haunted Heart’) shifts from the icy aggression of earlier works into something richer and more saturated – a palette of purples and burning oranges fading into dusk. The folk instrumentation once associated with Panopticon has largely receded, giving way to tones reminiscent of Neil Young & Crazy Horse.
The metal foundation remains, but the record’s strength lies in composition rather than speed: layered arrangements, long-form dynamics, and a strong narrative undercurrent. A full orchestral presence runs throughout, with Charlie Anderson’s string performances adding both gravity and movement. Each song features a different guest vocalist – Aaron Charles (Falls Of Rauros, Rhun), Jan Evan Åsli (Vemod), and Jan 'Winterherz' Van Berlekom (Waldgeflüster) among them – introducing distinct colours without compromising cohesion.
“Imposing, righteously commanding, atmospheric and truly memorable,” said Ave Noctum in their 9/10 review of Heathen Deity’s 2021 debut album, an opus that also earned glowing reviews in the likes of Decibel magazine and This is Black Metal.
Due to be unleashed in late November 2024, Satan’s Kingdom picks up where that opus finished, offering an equally intense assault, but introducing an even greater level of musicianship and performance, as well as more sophisticated songwriting.
An hour in length, it is a dynamic work that contains moments of absolutely frenzied black metal bombardment ala early Gorgoroth, as well as more epic, earnest and atmospheric numbers. Clean guitars and vocal parts are used selectively and effectively, with surprisingly rousing choruses surfacing from the visceral songs.
‘Uncompromising’ can often mean generic, but Heathen Deity continue to fly the flag for aggressive and anti-religious black metal without ever being derivative. The songwriting shines, with an abundance of genuinely memorable riffs and stirring passages.
Artwork once again created by our long-time comrade, the talented David Thiérrée. The band have also made a music video for the delicately titled song ‘Fucking Worthless’ with the videographer Szum.
Founded in 2004, Finsterforst have released 5 albums and 2 EPs so far. Starting as a folk metal act with high usage of accordion, the band has evolved its sound to some kind of epic and cinematic mix of post, post black, black and folk metal featuring an enormous range of different singing styles and heavy riffing. The band itself calls this sound Black Forest Metal, referencing their roots in the Black Forest region. During the covid pandemic Finsterforst asked their fans to help funding a new EP with only one song clocking in at almost 40 minutes. The fans came to help, Jenseits was born. Definitely not made for streaming, Finsterforst continue to go their own way of creating mind-bending art that will stand the test of time. The new mini album has only one song clocking in at almost 40 minutes. This album is divided into 4 chapters.
CD reissue of the classic second full-length from from the Italian black-doom metal icons, CULTUS SANGUINE.
Combining elements of doom, goth, and black metal, Italy's Cultus Sanguine released a pair of well-regarded albums in the 1990s (Shadows Blood and The Sum of All Fears) before ceasing operations in 2001. After reconvening as a live entity in 2018, the band returned to the studio and completed their third long-player, Dust Once Alive.

"Àmor" is a pure rush of passion and irresistibly sexy! The burning pulse of the sun's nuclear fire scorching the desert. The smooth sliding of glistening skin over other skin in a throbbing rhythm. The swelling hum of motion in a mass of bodies. KLIMT 1918 capture many such fleeting moments in time and preserve them through cascading walls of sound and the elegant drone of guitars. The Italian's fifth album, "Àmor", represents a climax of their acclaimed previous work into a most melancholic, sensual, and majestic collection of captivating music. "Àmor" was born out of silence, solitude and social distancing. Yet as a deliberate artistic counterpoint, KLIMT 1918 decided to have all their new songs revolve around carnality, ardour, physical contact between bodies, and the urgent, compelling feelings that keep people awake at night. As a crowning glory, KLIMT 1918 were artistically knighted when the legendary Tony Doogan accepted to mix 'Àmor' and Frank Arkwright (Abbey Road Studios) added his mastering genius. Both renowned engineers have previously joined forces to collaborate with such acts as MOGWAI and SNOW PATROL, and their portfolios also include such greats as JOY DIVISION, COLDPLAY, and OASIS among many others. Although it took plenty of time, diligence, and energy, "Àmor" proves with every second that the album is more than worth this long wait. KLIMT 1918 take their raw emotionality expressed in dynamic, glowing soundscapes rather than fixed structures and calculated hooks to another peak!

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."

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.

After an almost decade-long period of dwelling in the shadows, Koldbrann returned with a series of select festival appearances in 2022/23, premiering new material and proving that they're still full of cold grimness and misanthropy, and completely void of compromise. After last year’s 2-track 7” single “Den 6. Massedød (Manna fra en annen himmel)”, their long-awaited 4th album “Ingen Skånsel” is ready to be unleashed - and Koldbrann is sounding rawer, harsher and better than ever. Even though deeply rooted in the True Norwegian Black Metal tradition, Koldbrann has carved out their own sound within the genre confines and it sounds fresh, raw and different. There’s a fierce nerve running through the album, and the songs stand out from today’s typical black metal sounds. You can feel the aggression throughout the whole album. “Ingen Skånsel” is one of the most interesting, aggressive and fierce Norwegian black metal albums in modern times!

Judas Iscariot's massive fifth album “Heaven in Flames”, originally released in 1999 on Red Stream Records and Out of Print for years, is finally available again! The forefather of US Black Metal, mastermind Akhenaten defined a sound that is still being copied today. Conceptually based on Nietzschean philosophies and filled with Nihilism and contempt for christianity, Judas Iscariot heralded a grim Black Metal sound from American shores years ahead of its time.

Hot off the heels of their mind blowing 2016 opus “Pure”, Norway’s IN THE WOODS… return with their latest genre-destroying masterpiece, “Cease the Day”.
Continuing to refine and perfect their sound while ever expanding it in new directions, “Cease the Day” is a powerful and kaleidoscopic effort. A thunderous undercurrent of melodic riffing drives these songs forward, elements of doom, death, and progressive metal all coming together to form a cohesive whole.
Chilling ambience, psychedelia, avant-garde, and deep soaring vocals ebb and flow to craft a unique sound that truly must be heard to be believed, all before crushing the listener with the band’s most extreme moments since their debut “Heart of the Ages”.

Katla is an Icelandic band featuring ex-Sólstafir drummer and visual artist Guðmundur Óli Pálmason and singer/multi-instrumentalist Einar Thorberg Guðmundsson (Fortíð, Potentiam). Named in tribute to one of Iceland's greatest active volcanos, Katla creates powerful, panoramic music where shimmering guitars, crushing melodies and atmospheric density meet dark, entrancing power.
Katla's debut album, "Móðurástin", shines a spotlight on the band's hook-heavy, horizon-stretching sound. The lyrics tell tales of living in a country of contrasts; a land where fire and ice co-exist and dark winters are offset by the summer's midnight sun. Iceland: a country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture.
"Móðurástin", Icelandic for (a) Mother's Love, might seem like a strange title for a metal album, but Katla dares to be different. What on Earth is stronger than a mother's love? Nothing. Not hate, not lust, not greed.
