FLEURETY - Last Minute Lies/I Left The Planet
Pre order

FLEURETY
Last Minute Lies/I Left The Planet

SPECIAL COMBINED RELEASE INCLUDING FLEURETY’S HARD TO FIND 1999 EP, PLUS THE RARE “I LEFT THE PLANET” PROJECT TRACKS FROM 1996 INCLUDING MEMBERS OF VED BUENS ENDE/AURA NOIR. WITH NEWLY REMASTERED AUDIO.

Fleurety was formed in Ytre Enebakk, Norway in 1991, & is known for pioneering an experimental & boundary-breaking approach to black metal, integrating a variety of styles beyond purely metallic ones. The band has released three studio albums to date, plus a string of EPs, & has primarily existed as a duo featuring guitarist Alexander Nordgaren (formerly live guitarist for Norwegian legends, Mayhem) & drummer/vocalist Svein Egil “Zweizz” Hatlevik (Umoral, Strid, ex-Dødheimsgard) throughout their full history.

Fleurety was considered a slight oddity to the rest of the Norwegian movement at the time of their inception, for developing an altogether different style with more dynamic musical influences & obscure/non-traditional riffing. Following on from the ‘Black Snow’ demo in 1993 & the ‘A Darker Shade Of Evil’ 7” the following year, the band presented their full-length debut to the world in the shape of ‘Min Tid Skal Komme’; an exquisite & revered journey through dark & often introspective soundscapes.

‘Last Minute Lies’ was originally released in 1999, preceding the band’s second full-length album, ‘Department Of Apocalyptic Affairs’ & introduced a taste of the demented sophistication yet to come through their ongoing penchant for the strange & bizarre. The result was a mind-bending (or expanding) voyage of eccentricity within the metal genre, presenting a new masterclass in avantgarde mood-setting in the process.

Also included in this special release is the rare “I Left The Planet” project recordings from 1996, where Nordgaren was joined by a number of guests for this anomaly of dark & poetic jazzy-metal, notably featuring fellow prodigy of avant-garde metal & percussionist extraordinaire, Carl-Michael Eide of Ved Buens Ende/Aura Noir.

On what is the 35th anniversary of the band’s formation, this edition of ‘Last Minute Lies/I Left The Planet’ is presented on CD format including booklet with full lyrics, with audio specially remastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Studios for this release.

THE GATHERING - Almost A Dance
Pre order

THE GATHERING
Almost A Dance

1993'S PIONEERING SECOND STUDIO ALBUM OF ATMOSPHERIC & PROGRESSIVE DOOM ROCK FROM THE GATHERING. PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD.

The Gathering is a Dutch alternative rock band founded in 1989 by brothers Hans & René Rutten & vocalist Bart Smits. The early incarnation of the band featured a much more death & doom metal based style than the more atmospheric rock & experimental music which they became known for over the years, having enjoyed a highly successful career globally to date. The band recorded 2 demos initially before making their studio debut with ‘Always…’ (1992).

‘Almost A Dance’ was the second studio album by the band, released originally in 1993 on Foundation 2000 Records. The album was produced by Tom Holkenborg who became famous as Junkie XL. On this album, The Gathering left death growls & their death-doom influences aside, in favour of a more progressive rock/metal sound with clean vocals & a strong foundation for what the band would continue to evolve into, which is clearly apparent in the guitar arrangements & sublime soundscapes created.

This edition of 'Almost A Dance' is presented on mid-price CD format, including an eight page booklet with full lyrics.

SIGH - Hail Horror Hail (Marble)
Pre order

SIGH
Hail Horror Hail (Marble)

Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/1990. The genre-classic debut ‘Scorn Defeat’ followed on Euronymous’ Deathlike Silence Productions in 1993 & with each subsequent release, Sigh grew to become one of the country’s greatest & most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange & the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field whilst maintaining their old school roots, as witnessed with the stellar 2022 album, ‘Shiki’. 2025 also saw Sigh remaking their ‘Hangman’s Hymn’ album for a release on Peaceville as part of the band’s 35th anniversary celebrations, in the shape of ‘I Saw The World’s End: Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV’.

Featuring the line-up of Mirai Kawashima, Shinichi Ishikawa & Satoshi Fujinami, Sigh created arguably their darkest work to date with third album ‘Hail Horror Hail’ in 1997; an epic of nightmare-inducing soundscapes & lyrics concerning topics such as murder & mortality. With at times more melodic compositions compared to its predecessors & a more traditionally metallic experience than some of the material witnessed on the cult ‘Ghastly Funeral Theatre’ EP released not long before, Sigh continued to embrace deeply atmospheric & symphonic elements, along with what was now becoming an increasingly experimental added dimension to their art, in creating this at times unnerving horror masterpiece.

Continuing with Peaceville’s re-issues of Sigh’s classic early ( & until now, hard to find ) works, this edition of ‘Hail Horror Hail’ contains a new master created by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, featuring a new transfer from the original DAT source.

The release also includes a bonus disc containing rough mixes of album tracks, plus other rarities, along with a new interview with main-man Mirai Kawashima conducted by Dayal Patterson of Cult Never Dies, with his thoughts & reflections on the album, the recording process & the influences surrounding its creation.

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.

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.
