With Magna Silentia Arcana have gone full circle. Thirty years ago their debut on Cold Meat Industry raised a few eyebrows. On a label mostly known for various flavors of harsh, industrial electronics exploring themes of death and destruction, the neoclassical music of Arcana instead opted to embrace medieval virtues of chivalry and nobleness. A youthful Peter Bjärgö led his group on a victorious crusade, conquering audiences wherever they showed up. But after changes in lineup and record labels, the last album proper only came out in 2012. Besides reforming for a few special festival events, Arcana have remained dormant ever since while Bjärgö focused on releasing music in his own name.
Fast forward to 2026. This year sees Arcana reconnecting with CMI for Magna Silentia, their most profoundly personal album to date. While in the past the music has featured contrasting elements of light and darkness, the new album falls squarely on the dark side. What started as a project for a choral requiem slowly became a song cycle when instrumentations such as strings and percussion seeped into the compositions. In the wake of the loss of daughter Vendela, Magna Silentia turned into a mournful epitaph dealing with grief and the sacrosanct nature of existence. No more is this evident than in the incredibly moving elegy “You Are Still With Me”. What remains of a person who is no longer here? A lot! Magna Silentia stands testament to this.
After the unexpected success of the first & second presses, here comes a 3rd press in Smoke, black on clear vinyl
BIANCA is an exploration steeped in the subversive fire of black metal, with a penchant for doom and atmospheric resonances, centered around a female identity that spans different dimensions, from an ethereal presence to a primal rawness.
The music was born in 2024 with a series of demos composed by β and Ͷ. ES (from Hideous Divinity and Patristic) stepped in, shapeshifting the songs and giving the band a new form. Sathrath (Nocturnal Depression) joined the final recording sessions with his thunderous black metal touch.
BIANCA's first self-titled album is an enigmatic eight-step journey into the power of the human mind and the unconscious dimension as a messenger of precious insights for interpreting reality. A deep dive into the non-material aspects of human life and their transformative potential. No idea of religion, but a radical atheist and humanistic stance within the musical language of black metal, merging melodic nuances in an atmospheric embrace. A sorrowful struggle runs through the veins of BIANCA’s music, chilling to the core, yet captivating and transporting the listener to uncertainty.

"North" is a special chapter for Sorcier Des Glaces. Having been composed and partially recorded at the same time as "Snowland MMXII" and "Ritual of the End", this chapter was experimented with a much more powerful and cleaner production.
Some moments of very fast blast beats, others calmer and more atmospheric, North is like a journey beyond the black glaciers, on a northern restless sea filled with human souls that have been banished from this world long ago.
The song "North" was written in 1995, and was originally intended for the former band Moonlyght, of which both members of Sorcier Des Glaces were members.
