"Upon the Hills of Divination" is Sun Worship’s second album as a duo. In the years since releasing 2019’s "Emanations of Desolation" they managed to hone their already elaborated drums'n'guitar assault to maximize impact. Combining versatile, restless and passionate drumming with detailed, varied and harsh, high-octane riffing there’s hardly a second to rest over the course of its playtime. And yet, there are rare moments of beauty, silence and calm emerging from the sonic abyss Sun Worship drag you into. A sense of wonder and relief contrasting the overall doomed caveman-atmospheres provided. "Upon the Hills of Divination" delivers a stripped-down, fierce and primal – yet sophisticated, confident and well-versed listening experience. If you’re looking for an uncompromising, unpredictable and unique blend of Death, Black and simply no-bullshit Metal, look no further.
Black 12" double vinyl (33rpm) in printed inner sleeves in gatefold sleeve.
First pressing: 300 copies worldwide.
BORKNAGAR stay true to metal’s origins by letting their spirit guide them. Starting with their self-titled beginnings back in 1996, these Norwegians pushed past the boundaries set by traditional black metal. Over the course of the past 30 years, the band’s domain has come to include prog, neofolk and darkly enchanting hard rock, capped by major international tours and chart placements across the world. Eleven albums into their storied journey, they reached another creative peak on ’True North’ in 2019.
‘True North’ found BORKNAGAR at a crossroad. Half of the band’s lineup had turned over, but their longstanding members kept them on a dizzying upward trajectory. Whether picking or riffing, founder and guitarist Øystein Brun led the way, lighting a path for the versatile ICS Vortex (Arcturus, ex-Dimmu Borgir) to return to the mic. His thunderous cleans shine amidst the warm misty keys of hit single “Up North”, while his screams cut through the more hellish passages of “The Fire That Burns”. Even when hounded by “Voices”, keyboardist Lars Nedland’s resounding chorus resonated far and wide.
Loudwire named the album one of the best of 2019.
For fans of AMORPHIS, ENSLAVED, WINDIR.
Crystal clear, black and white marbled 12" double vinyl (33rpm) in printed inner sleeves in gatefold sleeve.

Recorded in 2002 and considered their first official release, this 2-track demo is the prologue to DARKSPACE’s first album.
It offers a similar musical experience to "Dark Space I", with dark and oppressive atmospheres thanks to a raw sound and more primitive production.
Cult ambient black metal pioneer DARKSPACE (ft. Members of Paysage d'Hiver + Sun of the Blind) is now reissuing its complete discography, which includes four full-lengths and an EP, via Season of Mist!
Dubbed “The Most Mysterious Anonymous Blackest Black Metal Band,” the enigmatic Swiss trio is known for their hypnotic and otherworldly sound, which has greatly influenced modern atmospheric and cosmic black metal as we know it today.
The band will be releasing a brand new album via Season of Mist at a later date!
For fans of PAYSAGE D'HIVER, SUN OF THE BLIND, ARKHTINN, OMEGA INFINITY.
With the fourth album Cypher, Finnish black metal outfit …and Oceans completed their transformation from predominantly symphonic influences to industrial inspirations. Being a group that has never played safe, this record transcended genres, broke all rules and was both lauded and hated for it. Cypher is the last record before the band changed their name to Havoc Unite and is now available on vinyl for the first time.
Comes with a 2-page insert and a download card. Pressed on grey/black marble effect heavy vinyl. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.
PURE WRATH were formed 2014 in West Java, Indonesia as the anguished, atmospheric and affecting Black Metal project of multi-instrumentalist Januaryo Hardy.
Fourth full-length "Bleak Days Ahead" builds wonderfully upon the panoramic and poignant melodies of 2022's wounded "Hymn to the Woeful Hearts". Utilising a more 'live' and separated production, the band and guests have dialled back the cinematics and upped the dynamics - allowing a varied sound palette including organ, mellotron, throat singing, piano and saxophone to express the sadness in high-functioning depression and the suffocating routines of modern life.
Comes in a 6-panel digipack. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

This is the new solo project from Micke Broberg (UNANIMATED).
Dark and epic black metal for fans of Root, Bathory or Ancient Wisdom.
As the opening notes crawl out of the speakers, slowly but steadily spreading like black lava, the atmosphere thickens with an unsettling sense of dread and bleakness. The eight tracks that constitute the eponymous album Daemonium Regni feel like a liturgy charged with foul energy, dedicated to darkness and perdition.
Proficient arrangements with different layers added on top of repetitive riffs, with all instruments performed very competently by the band’s sole member, make Daemonium Regni an intriguing listen. The vocals and the intonation of the exclusively Latin lyrics play a major role in the album. Mixed to the foreground, the vocals are performed in equal measure as demonic growls and sombre chanting, making all the difference to this album.
Daemonium Regni not only marks Daemonium Regni’s debut, but also the band’s first sign of existence. However, Mickael Broberg, the band's sole member, is anything but a newcomer. Best known as the singer of Unanimated, he has been involved in various bands and projects throughout the decades. Darkness Shall Rise is very proud to introduce you to his latest and possibly darkest band, Daemonium Regni.
