 Where Marduk fired the arrow and hit the bullseye in terms of war-themed releases was this little 3 track release called Iron Dawn. In three tracks, Marduk sets its sights on sonically delivering the chaotic brutality of war, and executes to such a degree of perfection that you can't help but listen to the EP on repeat. It is amazing as much as it is haunting.

While work continues towards materializing Aethyrick's fifth full-length album, the two-headed serpent strikes from the womb of spring with a new EP entitled Kolme veljestä. As the name of the EP already suggests, on this special release the band pays homage to their Finnish roots with lyrics entirely in their native language (physical releases come with English translations). Released on April 9th, the Day of the Finnish Language, Kolme veljestä EP contains three monoliths of atmospheric black metal witchcraft with a total playing time of 27 minutes

Forndom was born as a reflection of bygone days – of the forests and open landscapes of central Sweden, as well as its historical heritage. Similarly, coinciding with the project’s nine-year anniversary, Ludvig Swärd muses over his own musical past.

Following the enthusiastic reception of “Och med vinden ack de gunga” – Ludvig’s re-envisioning of his droning masterpiece “Jag vet ett tempel stå" - comes “Alster”, a piano work of contemporary classical with a distinct Scandinavian atmosphere. Six Forndom compositions in brand new interpretations alongside "Aska", a fresh take on an old unreleased song.

In the remote forests of north-eastern Finland, a primal force has been unleashed. Noitila, translated roughly as ‘Witches’ Bay’, resonates with the ancient echoes of a sacred land where worlds and energies intersect.

Conceived and recorded in a family cabin, employing minimalist equipment and instruments, “Langennut” captures an authenticity that is as powerful as it is pure. The band used an old leather chair as a bass drum, recorded acoustic guitars in the open forest, and wrote lyrics through psychography. No metronome, three microphones, and a passion for the ancient sounds of Ildjarn, Ulver, Isengard, Bathory, Satyricon, Tulus, and Beherit – this is black metal distilled to its essence. Primitive, soulful, and unfiltered.

HIEMS is a one-man, avant-garde black metal band launched in 1996 by Italian songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Alessandro "Algol" Comerio. "Stranger in a Wasteland" marks his third outing and is the sound of an artist confident in his craft. Recorded during lock-down, the music captures the dismal feelings of alienation and detachment, and translates them into malevolent, minimalistic and non-canonical  black metal, infused with dark hard rock and ominous grooves. In comparison with "Worship or Die" - the second and last installment from 2009 - "Stranger in a Wasteland" boasts a much clearer and refined production, which added a commanding character to the vocals, exposed the weight of the guitars, and sharpened the overall listening experience. The topic of death - closely followed by a sense of not belonging - is equally present in the musical and lyrical layer of the album.

Atmospheric reigns supreme in Claret Ash's majestic return. Five years removed from their last full-length, the double-album 'The Great Adjudication' Australian Melodic Black Metal band Claret Ash are ready to present a new EP 'Worldtorn: Anemoia' - the second installment in its recently launched 'Worldtorn' series. Weaving together narratives among common threads of collapse, resiliency, symbiosis, and renewal, Worldtorn - a concept yet in its infancy - seeks to explore various facets of post-apocalyptic existence.

Featuring a mix of both new material and reinterpreted work from their back catalog,'Worldtorn: Anemoia' delivers atmospheric and menacing black metal equally unforgiving, savage, triumphant, and imaginative. At its core, the new material on the EP is Atmospheric Black Metal but uses a wide array of tools to craft that familiar atmosphere, seamlessly shifting from pummeling death metal sections, soaring melodic leads, ethereal folk sections, and more without ever losing its footing or forward moving direction. Besides the new material, Anemoia also includes a re-recording of the track 'Ground Dweller' from its debut album of the same name - faster and more intense, as they now play it live - before concluding with an acoustic version of 'The Wolves Have Fed Again' (taken from their second album), and a stunningly beautiful orchestral rendition of the new track 'Cascadence of the Twilight'.
