The quest to bring all Nest works to life in a new mix and for the first time on vinyl is something we take very seriously here at Avantgarde Music. A few months after re-releasing the Finnish band’s first two EPs combined, Fabled Lore / Hidden Stream, it’s time to announce the release of Nest’s classic debut, Woodsmoke, which will be released on CD and LP on January 17th, 2025.
Here follow a few words from Aslak Tolonen, the band’s mastermind.
"Woodsmoke is the first professionally released Nest full length album. It builds on all the elements that came before and uses them to weave a
fully formed aural storybook. It combines fast driving songs with slower introspective atmospheres. It is highly melodious, and adds a wide
variety of synthetic soundscapes. The core, as always, is the Finnish national instrument - the kantele (a kind of lap harp) - and it is
joined by an even wider range of synthetic instruments, varied percussion, and spoken word vocals meant to evoke the mystical and the
profound. Upgraded audio equipment, with new recording and mixing capabilities, elevates the quality of the material even further. The
result is an inquiring mix of acoustic and ambient, melody and atmosphere, in an entrancing package. It explores the themes of nature,
the grandioseness and the brutality found in the untamed wilds. It conjures up images of the healing waters, the tumultuous summer storms,
and the sparkling winter nights - to both excite and to soothe."

Kanonenfieber's debut Menschenmühle has been one of the self-produced highlights of early 2021. With its mature songwriting and uncommon thematic approach, the album is intended to commemorate the countless victims of World War I.
Men were thrown into a differing reality where only survival would count. Death, fear and hunger as a steady companion in the waist-deep trenches filled with mud. One order transferred people into cannon fodder in the human mill - World War I. The lyrical background of Menschenmühle is based on factual reports, letters and other documents from the surviving and deceased soldiers. The album was written, recorded and produced by Kanonenfieber from September 2020 to January 2021 in the Noisebringer studio.

This is a special offer to purchase at once all 3 Cigno vinyls in bundle.
This will come with a special packaging, hand made, three posters AND as a special bonus exclusive to this bundle, an unreleased 7" ep manufactured in 100 copies.
Contemporary versus tribal. The city empties, the countryside resurfaces. The crumbling contemporary ideals collapse, all is lost. Primitive rituals are exalted.
Dialect dances, esoteric theaters, innocent songs emerge from the echoes of ancient rural civilizations, which belong to us and are just waiting to be awakened. Like shamans they transmigrate into warm lands of solitude, where a swan dies and is reborn every day, trying to redeem the dormant spirits that brood in wandering empty men.
Apocalyptic and haunting bullfight.
Theology of the revolution, music and the proletariat.
In 2022 with "Protestanti" he entered the ranking of the best Italian songs for Rolling Stone. In 2023 he presents industrial “N!N!N!” at the Magnolia club in Milan. In October 2024 “Buonanotte Berlinguer” will be published, the last concrete and spiritual act, between music and socialism.
The ten tracks on the album struggle to fit into the category of pop music and even more so they shy away from the commonly understood song form. “Nada! Nada! Nada!” it is a complex ecosystem where disturbing trip rock coexists with ethnic impulses and mystical moments. Heartbreaking screams punctuated by hypotonic percussion loops, industrial suites full of saturated distortions are then alternated with diabolical chants. Almost a sound psychoanalysis of contemporary society, almost the soundtrack of a Dante's song. CIGNO increases the dose with visionary texts, where he paints frescoes of contemporaneity between a socio-political and economic criticism of the West, up to ascetic verses whispered and sung recited.
Anarchic and against the current, CIGNO's artistic proposal also passes through the cover which symbolically depicts the heretic. The engraving represents the symbol of the human condition.

From the ever-creating mind of Finnish musician Juuso Peltola (Warmoon Lord, Argenthorns, Old Sorcery, Tenebrarium and many more) comes Oneironaut, a brand new music journey along the German ambient tradition.
Oneironaut can be viewed as a distant cousin of Old Sorcery, spawned beyond a weird horizon, in another dimension alien to sword & sorcery. Slumbering in retro science fiction themes and powered by vintage synthesizers both cosmic and esoteric, Alien Gnosis aims to take the listener to a profound journey through the borders of imagination.
Oneironaut is a new piece in the collaboration between Avantgarde Music and the Finnish artist, expanding towards new galaxies. Adorned with a beautiful painting by Mara Hiltunen, Alien Gnosis is a long, fascinating path through galaxies far, far away…

100 copies limited new edition on translucent red vinyl!!
French one-man melodic black metal band Inherits The Void is back with the third studio album in four years. Fifteen months after the acclaimed The Impending Fall Of The Stars, multi-instrumentalist A is back with a brand-new studio record.
As introduced by Inherits The Void mastermind A. himself, “Scars Of Yesteryears is a melodic black metal album which embodies the artistic choices initiated with its predecessor. However, Scars Of Yesteryears is more diverse in its musical influences, while wanting to be more direct and incisive in its musical approach. In this, the album draws its inspiration from both the Swedish and French Black Metal scenes with the aim of combining the stylistic visions specific to each universe.
The eight songs that follow one another in the album reflect a now more enterprising crossover between Atmospheric/Melodic Black Metal and early Melodic Death Metal, combining also more epic and doomy parts than in the past.
The theme of the album deals with the legacy left by past and present societies, whether through struggles, revolutions or even through the traces that we ourselves leave and which, themselves, lead to the destruction of our environment”.
Doubtlessly Inherits The Void’s most diverse and mature work to date, Scars Of Yesteryears succeeds in paying homage to the godfathers of the Swedish death and black metal scene, yet keeping a personal, present sound and never giving in to mere nostalgia.
One-off edition in 200 copies, translucent red vinylì, not be repressed
While writing their upcoming album (due later this year), Remina ended up with three songs that no longer fit the album's themes as it began to take shape. Rather than let these songs become lost in the ether, these were gathered in a brand new ep, "Erebus".
Initially released digitally only in June 2024, the ep found a huge success and pushing us to offer the band a one-off only edition on vinyl and cd.

In Silence Descent, Vananidr’s fifth studio album, as the title suggests, is an exploration of darkness and despair, a vessel to a world beyond the grave. Along the eight tracks, melodies of pure Nordic melancholy mix with equal amounts of frenzy, frustration and suffering, crafting a perfect example of Scandinavian black metal. Vananidr’s lyrics have always been of the very personal sort, exploring the darkness within and the utter disgust for humanity.
The massive drum sound was captured in an old church at NBS productions (Necromorbus studio) by Anders Eriksson himself, who recorded the whole album.

Three years after the acclaimed Obârșie, Romanian folk/progressive black metal band Sur Austru is back with their third studio album, Datura Străhiarelor.
Sur Austru was born from the ashes of the late Negură Bunget, keeping alive their intent to bring Romanian lore into music. Datura Străhiarelor is the band’s most complex and ambitious project to date, the music heavily leaning on the progressive and folkloristic side, even more than before.
Datura Străhiarelor is Romanian for The Gift of Scarecrows” and is a concept album focusing on the Apocalypse triggered by magical beings from Romanian mythology.
Their spells break the gate between the fantastic world and the real one, through which ancient beasts surge, thus annihilating humankind.
Haunting incantations and invocations, mesmerizing flutes, percussions and unpredictable guitar structures all blend together to craft a new fascinating journey through the Carpathians and beyond. If you ever loved masterpieces such as Negura Bunget’s Om or Dordeduh’s self-titled debut, as well as Enslaved’s most prog outputs, Datura Străhiarelor is an album you cannot miss.
