ARCHAIC THORN
Malicious Spears

Archaic Thorn have been active in the German death metal underground since 2010, evolving steadily from their early demo "Hydra Throats" (2013) through the EP "In Desolate Magnificence" (2015) to their acclaimed debut album "Eradication" (2020) - all without losing their original ferocity. Anyone who appreciates the old-school sound of bands like Degial, Necrovore, or Repugnant will also love "Malicious Spears". On their second studio album, the Saxon trio logically continues this path. "From our point of view, it’s more catchy and features more distinctive riffs," says guitarist CL. "The sound hits exactly what we were aiming for - we wanted an organic production that honestly reflects our band’s character and still delivers modern punch." The album was mixed and mastered by Christoph Brandes at Iguana Studios (Necrophagist, Fragments of Unbecoming, among others). Stylistic consistency and a solid line-up go hand in hand for Archaic Thorn. "Lyrically, nothing has changed since our demo," vocalist/bassist MF emphasizes. The lyrics continue to revolve around "occultism, death, war, and damnation," themes that are also reflected in the eye-catching cover artwork by Sadistik Exekution vocalist Rok. "Malicious Spears" is likely to win Archaic Thorn a host of new fans. Anyone who can combine uncompromising brutality with refined songwriting on this level is capable of standing alongside the heavyweights of the genre.

Demo I

The project is a new endeavor led by veteran drummer Stefan "Husky" Hüskens (known for his work with Asphyx, Sodom, and Desaster). He formed the band with the specific goal of playing pure thrash metal with a distinct Canadian flair, without losing the individual musical roots of the members

ARSTIDIR (ICE) - Hvel
Second hand

ARSTIDIR (ICE)
Hvel

Originally released in 2015, ÁRSTÍÐIR's third album 'Hvel' offers atmospheric, hauntingly beautiful songs that take elements of folk, rock, and classical music among other styles, which are arranged into new patterns that have invited comparison with RADIOHEAD, SIMON & GARFUNKEL, PENTANGLE, ÓLAFUR ARNALDS, and most of all SIGUR RÓS. The latter happens perhaps inevitably due to superficial similarities as ÁRSTÍÐIR often sing in their native Icelandic tongue and use acoustic instruments extensively.

SELBST
Despondency Chord Progressions (ltd. ex edition)

DMP exclusive edition, comes housed in a gatefold jacket with an exclusive silkscreened hand-printed and numbered slipcase by Le 7e Oeil and a download card.
Limited to 97 copies.

"Despondency Chord Progressions", the aptly-titled and movingly dynamic third album from SELBST, finds the Latin American Black Metal band deepening, clarifying and confidently channelling the dark waters of their already elaborate sound.

Following the bludgeoning restlessness of DMP debut, 2020's "Relatos De Angustia", the band here steps forward with a fully-fledged sense of purpose - balancing introspection and anger via beautifully flowing arrangements brimming with impassioned melodies.

PRAG 83
Metamorphoses

German PRAG 83 delivers mellow, sublime and dark alternate folk – rugged to the bone and close to earth. Musically unique with elements that reminds of the Katatonia´s ”Discouraged ones” era but also not far away from the works by the northern woodsmen of Lönndom

KATLA - Módurástin
Second hand

KATLA
Módurástin

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.
