ORDO CULTUM SERPENTIS are a new cross-continental entity comprising V (South Korea) and Fr. Der Cadaver (México). Together, the duo create an ambient sort of blackened death-doom - or perhaps deathened black-doom? Or doomed black-death? Either way, such words as BLACK and DEATH and most especially DOOM apply to the band's first public recording, Derej Najash.
Limited Black vinyl w/ 8pp A5 folded booklet
VENTR hail from Portugal, the current hotbed of raw black metal. While an otherwise-new entity, the rippling 'n' roiling black metal they present across their first public recording, Numinous Negativity, betrays a wealth of experience - an expanse of void-dwelling visions that are startling to behold this early on. Grim and ghastly, the band likewise exude a strident physicality which transcends most iterations of rawness, and the same could be said for their bewitching melodicism: never soft nor saccharine, these haunting lead-lines duly transport the listener into exquisitely dark 'n' cobwebbed realms. The sum effect of Numinous Negativity, from a musical standpoint, is a medieval malodorousness that's as ancient as it is rottenly fresh.
Pestis Cultus is the renewed audial manifestation brought forth by three lifetime friends and musicians from Perth, Australia, whose works have already been deeply carved in the worldwide underground black metal scene across various other projects. However, now officially as Pestis Cultus, the trio hold firm to the hideousness which marked Snorri's sadly short-lengthed recordings but ripen that rottenness to an exquisitely foul degree.

Occult philosophy in a volatil ground of oppositions, 26 minutes of dark and ritualistic music, crafted in the deepest ground of Denmark!
Released at the dawn of 2020 on CD format, Zmierzch Stalowej Ciemności was VERMISST's first, fuller-length strike since their formation in 2018. Despite being a relatively new entity, the band's sound is undoubtedly OLD, hailing the old gods of their Polish homeland's rich black metal heritage. Cryogenically cold, unremittingly grim, shrouded in a mysticism rich in ancient splendor, VERMISST are thoroughly mid '90s Polish black metal for a modern world too long neglectful of the Old Ways. Pure and proud, Zmierzch Stalowej Ciemności is poignant proof that classicism endures no matter the decade, and that ever-so-subtle twists on tradition can result in resoundingly "new" manifestations worthy of that noble lineage.
Now, courtesy of fans-from-the-beginning SIGNAL REX, VERMISST's Zmierzch Stalowej Ciemności is being released on vinyl format for the first time ever, with three exclusive (and righteously raw) tracks expanding the release to 40 minutes in length.

Originally released on vinyl in a limited edition of 100 copies, MORTA's Fúnebre was simply too good 'n' grimy to let languish in obscurity.
A power-trio comprising active members of the Spanish metal scene, MORTA are first and foremost a BLACK METAL band, by definition and deed. Unremittingly ugly yet evincing an emotionalism that burrows ever deeper into the filth of the subconscious, Fúnebre expounds upon the rudiments of the band's first demo in 2017 with acidic aplomb. Remorselessly raw is their attack, and yet it's undeniably physical and PURE - literally, the sound of three persons playing together in the same room (dungeon?), which is all too much a rarity in nowadays "black metal." As such, they deftly shift from spiralingly violent hypnosis to scabrously headbanging segments, their riffing duly drawing the listener in with an eerily hummable quality. It would not be uncharitable to liken the latter to a romanticism unique to MORTA's Spanish heritage.

ZALMOXIS stands for storming and epic German Black Metal. Still early days, this concurrent project of Fortress of the Olden Days mainman Entheogen has so far released two demos - the latter of which, Pralayic Beheading, was released by brother label HARVEST OF DEATH. These early works suggested a restless soul steeped in the ancients, black metal of a most medieval vintage.
Now ZALMOXIS strikes back with an ambitious 25-minute single track ominously bearing the title A Nocturnal Emanation. A none-more-apt description of its contents if there ever was one, here Entheogen patiently builds an ethereal-yet-thick fog of sorcerous swirl, its strangely alluring spell drowning the listener in dissonace and dislocated melody. And yet, despite its grandiose length, A Nocturnal Emanation manages to engage at every step, each one rife with grim abandon and on the verge of self-combustion but then righting itself into a surprising twist of texture. This misty 'n' mystical landscape beckons complete immersion...dare you enter?
Hailing from the modern black metal hotbed of Iceland, ÖRMAGNA are an otherwise new entity with no other public recordings, save a self-released track on Bandcamp forecasting the shape of their Örmagna debut. What can be revealed is that Naðra vocalist Ö here also handles vocals, but let comparisons end there: ÖRMAGNA are undoubtedly a poignant new development in the increasingly rich landscape of Icelandic black metal.

This split features two of the harshest and most haunting Portuguese black metal hordes. Starting off are TRONO ALEM MORTE, who offer two exclusive tracks which breathe a desolate 'n' desperate fury, irascible and irrational, like an endless howling into the void; these tracks preclude their forthcoming debut album in December, to be released at Invicta Requiem Mass III. On the flipside are VETALA, one of the most prolific bands in the nowadays raw Portuguese scene. Their lengthy, 13-minute contribution here continues that hysteric spree of misery, exploring all corners of their boundless dungeon in an almost improvisatory delirium; their Demo IV is forthcoming, so beware.

Negros Manifestos de Ordem Venusiana is something of an intergenerational pairing, however, as MONS VENERIS have been prolifically polluting the underground since 2003 while ORDEM SATANICA, by comparison, started their near-equally prolific onslaught in 2014.
Nevertheless, as representatives of the Portuguese Black Metal, here on Negros Manifestos de Ordem Venusiana do both hordes create provocative portrayals of their unique darkness and despair.
ORDEM SATANICA are on Side A and unfurl three haunting and medieval tracks, roaming the castle with that spectral rawness they've truly made their own the last few years.
MONS VENERIS are on Side B and offer an epic, side-long track that roams the rawest dungeons, spanning punkish bash and hypnotic hysteria alike, torrents of noise to ruin your soul.
Accurately titled, Pilgrimage / Boahjenásti features both of SAMMAS' EQUINOX's demo tapes, respectively released in 2016 and 2017. Together, this collection features newly remastered sound courtesy of Moonsorrow's Henri Sorvali.
Although exhibiting the stultifying rawness that has come to mark much Finnish black metal in the post-Strength & Honour landscape, there's a uniquely atmospheric aspect to SAMMAS' EQUINOX, both in the band's bittersweet melodicism and their deftly subtle approach to sound layering. The seven songs comprising their oeuvre to date burn with a filthy intensity in the best Finnish tradition, yet just as equally exude a somber, even tender quality that's come to mark countrymen Cosmic Church, Kêres, and especially Circle of Ouroborus. Likewise, there's a certain punkishness here that paradoxically doesn't make the band's black metal sound punk at all.

Originally self-released digitally during October 2017, Valtakunta is SE LUSIFERIN KANNEL's first public recording despite the band existing since 2012. Nevertheless, whether a band's first recording or their fiftieth, Valtakunta is a towering work shot through with stultifying, multi-dimensional textures. Comprising four songs in a staggering 71 minutes, Valtakunta creates a swirling, densely layered vortex of atmospheric black metal majesty. Indeed, SE LUSIFERIN KANNEL are forging morbid manifestations of death, destruction and apocalypse as if possessed. Dense though their ever-pulsing miasma may be, there's an acute attention to detail from this mysterious Finnish collective; listen carefully and one can even detect Theremin among the band's arsenal of atmospheric accoutrements. It's an overwhelming onslaught at times, but it's absolutely engrossing totality - or, one could say, four different totalities since each epic-length track is literally its own world. And already, a second album is on its way...

Hailing from the modern black metal hotbed of Iceland, ÓREIÐA are an enigma within a scene rife with enigmas. A nameless but by no means faceless entity, ÓREIÐA made its/their first public recording with Demó I in 2016, which was soon released on cassette and 7" vinyl formats at the beginning of 2017 by HARVEST OF DEATH. Ensorcelled by the entity's monolithic trance-out black metal, HARVEST OF DEATH released in late 2017 ÓREIÐA's one-track/20-minute Demó II on cassette, which was soon followed by a split 10" with Portuguese comrades HOLOCAUSTO EM CHAMAS the following year.
