Carved from the cold marrow of Norway’s enigmatic and revered black metal scene, GAAHLS WYRD conjure a spellbinding fusion of chaos and beauty. Under the commanding presence of Kristian “Gaahl” Espedal, the band carve a sweeping saga of sound - both primal and transcended.
With ‘Braiding the Stories’, GAAHLS WYRD embark on an alchemical journey through the realms of consciousness and dreams, crafting a sonic narrative that explores the seamless dance between the seen and the unseen. Each track is a profound exploration of reality's veils, crystallizing the ephemeral through the powerful conjunction of philosophical introspection and audacious musical composition. From the haunting echoes of "The Dream Master" to the ethereal resonance of "Flowing Starlight," the album invites the listener to traverse its labyrinthine soundscapes - a place where reflective melodies intersect with visceral power. In this realm, GAAHLS WYRD channels raw lyrical introspection and potent sonic prowess, guided by the adept hands of Ole "Lust Kilman" Walaunet, Andreas "Nekroman" Salbu, and Kevin "Spektre" Kvåle.
At the heart of the album lies a journey of self-discovery, one that resonates with the timeless voice of Gaahl, inviting listeners to not merely hear, but to experience, to reflect, and transcend.

For fans of MAYHEM, WARDRUNA, GORGOROTH, ENSLAVED.

Nel Buio, Italian for In the Dark, is a black wave project born by Clod "the Ripper" De Rosa (Blasphemer, ex-Septycal Gorge) in the Autumn of 2023 to combine black metal and 80s darkwave. The Line up was completed by
Neil Grotti on guitars and Francesco Vellacifer on drums (both of Electrocution and Blasphemer's fame, among the many).
Avantgarde Music is glad to announce the release of Nel Buio self-titled debut EP. Frontman Clod the Ripper chose the following words to introduce the five songs composing the record: “In the shadow of the metropolis, where the echo of alienation seeps through the cracks in the concrete, our music is born. A work that reflects the isolation and hypocrisy of lives obscured by the lights of big cities. Through a feminine eye, our "pure Italian blackwave" is a manifesto for those who find beauty in decay and truth in shadows, a comfort in the darkness for the souls lost within it”.
Uncompromising, dark and sorrowful, Nel Buio debut will leave a mark on all those looking for something more than mere fury in black metal. On June 21st, let the dark guide you.

Spewed forth by a collective of serpents from the scorching south and sulphurous north of the Old World, Desert Psalms is an act of defiance – an offering to the lawless, the unruly, and the bright star rising in the eastern dawn.

A descent beyond the pale. Across its seven abominations, Desert Psalms drags the listener into howling darkness, where transgression and purification are one.

This is black metal in its most primal and adversarial form: venomous, unrepentant, seared in the flames of desolation. Both scourge and scripture, Desert Psalms is a baptism in bile and blood, stripping away all pretense until nothing remains but raw nerve and burning truth.

Envisioned by A.Ara of Angrenost, Desert Psalms is now manifested with the contribution of Misþyrming members Dagur Gíslason and Magnús Skúlason, Erdsaf of Angrenost, and Ólöf Rún Benediktsdóttir of Svartþoka.

Hailing from the black metal hotbed of Finland, Curse Upon a Prayer was founded in Tornio in 2010 and have since released two albums - From The Lands of Demise in 2014, and Rotten Tongues in 2015. The band has gained some recognition for their strong, anti-Islamic themes, which are fiercely manifested in their live shows. During those well-received events, there has been multiple Quran desecrations, and the ruthless flame of Curse Upon a Prayer continues to grow without any hesitation.

Now, the Finnish infidels of Curse Upon a Prayer have decided to take another step towards the gaping abyss and thus present a new EP, thematically titled The Three Woes. Their third studio recording so far and a follow-up to the righteous Rotten Tongues, The Three Woes is another grand strike for Curse Upon a Prayer, albeit a quick-hitting one. No less satisfying despite its compact nature, this EP is merely a glimpse of the truly flagrant blasphemy that is yet come: a peaceful prelude for the next, Allah-raping Curse Upon a Prayer full-length set to be released in 2019.
