Back in stock - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Limited edition, "electric blue" vinyl 200 copies
Valdrin is a U.S.-based melodic black metal band known for their intricate compositions, storytelling prowess, and immersive soundscapes. Since their 2010 inception, the Cincinnati-based band has been focusing on building their own narrative, skillfully crafting an elaborate sci-fi saga. Apex Violator is the latest chapter in the ongoing epic.
After 4 years of silence, the Serbian legends of The Stone are back with their 10th full length album «Kletva»! Just like its predecessor “Kosturnice” which got released during the corona pandemic in 2021, is their newest opus yet another venture into their unrelentless 90’s macabre black metal sound.
Pressed on iridescent green heavy vinyl. Laser engraved etching on side D. Comes with an A2 poster and download card. Colors on final records may vary to a degree from the mockup
"The Dreaming I" is available again, this time on double vinyl in complete unedited form with D side featuring a laser etching. A fascinating and grandiose sonic monument consisting of five otherworldly compositions, five dark tunnels of fury and intensity in which to lose yourself, filled with dangerous and hypnotic melodies.
This first album is a unique moment in timeless time, a delicious abyss of dark and ethereal enchantment that takes Black Metal into another magnificient dimension. Gateways upon gateways.
Pressed on white marble heavy vinyl. Comes with a download card. Colors on final records may vary to a degree from the mockup.
Averaging an album per year since their 2018 formation, this latest expression from the rightly-revered Swiss Atmospheric Black Metal band AARA shows no drop in quality, nor let-up in their perpetually questing sense of purpose.
In follow up to 2023's "Triade III: Nyx" - the climatic installment of the 'Melmoth' trilogy based on Charles Robert Maturin's classic Gothic novel - the band now break away from the literary and apply their stunning musicality to real-world events.
"Eiger" is conceptually focused on the 3967 meters mountain of the same name in the Bernese Alps. Since 1935, at least 64 climbers have died attempting to conquer the Eiger’s sheer, ice-covered north face which has earned it the nickname of 'Mordwand' ('murder wall'). The album specifically examines an attempt to climb the Mordwand in July 1936 which ended in tragedy, as four young mountaineers succumbed to treacherous conditions and disappeared, presumed caught in an avalanche.
AARA's music has evolved dynamically in tandem with the subject matter, becoming more visceral, tangible and hauntingly powerful. An organic and spacious production allows the trademark elegiac, spirited leads and reverberant acoustic guitars of main-composer Berg to give increased emotional weight to a performance of on-the-edge savagery from vocalist/lyricist Fluss. The icy melodies, pensive moods, vibrant plummets and shifts/drifts contrast the wonderment of the natural world with a heightened sense of existential malaise and ultimately horror.
Pressed on pearl white / red marble heavy vinyl. Comes with a 12-page 12"x12" booklet and a download card. Side D contains no music but features a black screen print. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.
Following 2020's widely-worshipped "Melinoë", AKHLYS, the globe's premier channelers of abyssal nightmare, return triumphant with six elaborate and exhilarating new tracks of pure Black Metal terror.
Drawing from esoteric and mythical traditions, where the land of dreams is placed within the darkness of the underworld, arises the "House of the Black Geminus". Through labyrinthine halls, shadowed corridors, cellars of dread, and attics of epiphany, as ordeal and ecstasy meet at the vertices where each beholds his own daemon.
Pressed on transparent red heavy vinyl with yellow & orange swirl. Comes with a 12-page booklet and download card. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.
Following up sole previous release, 2016's lauded "Transmutation of Wounds" EP, the band's inaugural full length "Draumsýnir Eldsins" ('Dream Visions of the Fire') blazes through four transcendent, maniacal tracks that revel in organised chaos and infernal surrealism, as swarming Black Metal bludgeon meets avant-Classical and psychotropic noise.
Comes with 12"x12" 2-page insert and a download card. Pressed on green galaxy effect heavy vinyl. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.
Furious and intimate, exciting and intriguing, "Futility Report" stems from a thoroughly modern vision, an innovative interpretation of Extreme Music which breaks down established codes whilst simultaneously deep-rooted in the obscure history of Black Metal.
"Futility Report" - or the metallic version of ULVER’s legendary "Perdition City" - is a new form of Dark Music, a serious piece of Art far removed from usual clichés and a significant forward step.
Pressed on transparent red w/ black smoke heavy vinyl. Comes with red hot foil logo and title on the front of the gatefold sleeve, a 20-page 12"x12" booklet and a download card. Colors on final records may vary to a degree from the mockup.
The ever-inventive Ukrainian Black Metal band WHITE WARD unleash their defining third full-length "False Light", a grand work of exploratory depth which shape-shifts rhythmically creative, furiously melodic Black and Death Metal through brass-led darkjazz, stately post-rock and gothic Americana/post-punk into an indispensable record from a stunning band at the top of their game.
Comes with a 12"x12" 20-page booklet glued on the gatefold, A4 poster and a download card. Pressed on transparent red heavy vinyl with black splatters and laser engraved etching on D side.
"The Poisonous Path" is a raging beast, a monstrous work straight from the depths of Hell which distils a deeply mephitic climate into an addictive poison. The production is massive, the riffing intense, the atmosphere suffocating and the melodies vicious and bewitching, this is dark sonic alchemy.
Having forged their own amazingly impure path over the years, they are at the height of their unholy Art and comfortably seated on the throne of Devilish Black Metal!
Comes with a 12-page 12"x12" booklet and a download card. Pressed on black heavy vinyl.
15 years since formation the inimitable cult of Norway’s DØDSENGEL ('angel of death') has grown exponentially, reaching its apex on 5th full-length "Bab Al On", a devotional work of idiosyncratic spiritual Black Metal.
Blessed by a production job of crystalline excellence and capped by an astonishing tour-de-force vocal performance, "Bab Al On" is a hypnotic melting pot, a deep trip into the minutiae of Occultism which requires immersive listening to navigate.
Pressed on transparent red heavy vinyl w/ black splatters. Comes with insert and a download card.
"Rituale Satanum" is almost universally acclaimed as BEHEXEN’s masterpiece, a record that belongs in every respected record collection truly dedicated to the original Black Art. A dark and possessed work of Satanic Black Metal in its darkest and purest form, "Rituale Satanum" is a quintessential explosion of unadulterated blasphemy, spewing forth intense and funerary riffs while sanctifying infectious, timeless melodies.
