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.

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.

Collaborative Ep by Tårfödd and Mörkvind.

The warrior suffers the loss of his beloved; a deep pain pierces him, and the wind of fate sweeps away all traces of happiness, carrying away even his clarity of mind.

Soon he descends into madness: the trolls of the forest whisper to him, and lost in his frenzy, he succumbs to a murderous rage.

The gods remain silent. Alone, in the frozen North and battered by a snowstorm, he finally hears the voice of Odin — tragic and relentless.

He bends to the snow, closes his eyes forever, finding in that silence both the god and death itself.

An album where i got the honor to work (on track 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6) with Revenant Noctis (Ger) from Sarkrista, Order of Nosferat, Velmorth and Siechknecht

In late 2024, AINZAMKAIT delivered their bolt-from-the-blue debut album, Was des Lebens nicht wert. The work of one Grymnir der Zornige, AINZAMKAIT's moniker is a linguistic twist on the German "Einsamkeit," which is loneliness in English - and fittingly, that's exactly what he delivered, offering a righteous new twist on Teutonic black metal.

Proving that was no fluke, AINZAMKAIT return under the banner of PURITY THROUGH FIRE with Fluch des Nachzehrers. Sonically, on first blush, this second album is built upon the same foundation as the debut: riffs that are hypnotically melancholic yet also strangely triumphant, a slow-burning approach to pacing, and Grymnir der Zornige's full-throated rasp elevating everything safely beyond DSBM dross. However, where that first album conveyed a certain hooliganism latent to the best German black metal, here do AINZAMKAIT soar on cosmic wings high into the night, raised up on synths that are even more ethereal than that no-less-considerable debut; indeed, one need only translate this album's title as well as ponder the cover art to perceive their nocturnal trajectory. Strangely enough, the eight tracks comprising Fluch des Nachzehrers are more compact this time around but somehow sound even more expansive: the destination might be the same, but the route to get there has been altered slightly - and compellingly, vampirically so. With new drummer Geyst des Wüterichs likewise providing livelier color, AINZAMKAIT continue their noble march...the curse awakens!

A project of Ungod (SAD / NECROHELL/ BLOODMOON ECLIPSE) and Throne (HOR)
in the vein of BERGRIZEN, AASKEREIA
