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.
"The Fire Cult Beyond Eternity" is the new album from ONIRIK (Portugal), a follow-up to 2015's "Casket Dream Veneration" and yet another proof of the talent of Gonius Rex, the band's sole member. ONIRIK has been active since 2002 and throughout the years has explored black metal in several approaches, always faithful to its original purpose: the emission of unordinary, dissonant and raw outputs with trance-inducing atmospheres, typically very cold and bathed in magic.
With the special guest participation of none other than Dirge Rep on drums (GEHENNA, ENSLAVED, ORCUSTUS, THE KONSORTIUM), and mixed & mastered by Semjaza of THY DARKENED SHADE, "The Fire Cult Beyond Eternity" is the consequence of the descent and return from below carrying the flames and lava on its scales, giving it back to the world in posthumous vengeance.
Two years since the release of Saturnian Bloodstorm, Lamp of Murmuur has once again raised the chalice of victory for the masses with a new beckoning of devotion and elegance, titled “The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy”. Gradually ascended these past years as one of the furthermost esteemed and sought luminaries within the new wave of black metal, Lamp of Murmuur is still a force to be reckoned with.
Where “Saturnian Bloodstorm” raged with untameable fire and “Submission and Slavery” plunged into catharsis and purgatory, this new opus stands as the synergy of both sides of a bloodstained coin.
Triumph and grief, transcendence and torment. Beneath the soundscapes of blackened vigour and madness lies a narrative that reaches beyond dreams, exploring instead the unyielding pursuit of absolute spiritual liberation through sacrifice, manifesting the will of the Seven Spears with a delicate, yet more menacing gesture than in previous efforts, birthing the project’s most adventurous and daring offering yet.
CD incl. bonus track "Assertion" in Digipak with 24-page deluxe booklet on matt coated paper.
Emerging from the Belgian underground in 1993, ENTHRONED have stood as one of black metal’s enduring forces, their legacy defined by uncompromising vision and ritualistic intensity. Over three decades, the band has refined their craft into an artform of esoteric violence and transcendence.
Their new opus ‘Ashspawn’ embodies six years of ritual creation and total artistic unity. Written in collaboration with occult author Gilles de Laval, the album charts a descent into spiritual death and a transformative rebirth, framed by a lyrical architecture of demonology, ritual praxis, and metaphysical calculus. Musically, it is ENTHRONED’s most ferocious and personal work to date: a relentless fusion of blast beats, oppressive mid-tempos, and solos oscillating between chaos and virtuosity. Tracks such as “Raviasamin”, “Ashspawn”, and “Ashen Advocacy” channel this doctrine into ritual soundscapes that convulse between violent catharsis and crushing introspection.
Every note and silence are deliberate; a weapon forged for transformation rather than entertainment. ‘Ashspawn’ is not an echo of past glories, but a culmination of ENTHRONED’s essence: dark, authentic, and absolute.
For fans of MARDUK, DARK FUNERAL, GORGOROTH, 1349.
THE GREAT SEA was founded in 2022 by JR (Long Distance Calling) and SH (Ordeal & Plight) with the ambition to create an atmosphere that can keep up with the majesty of the mountains and the horrible depths of the seas, with a glimpse into the never ending darkness that is behind and before us.
“We always wanted to create a feeling, where you can experience nature and find yourself within it.”, states guitarist SH. “There is a strange and unbelievable beautiful sensation when you combine these tunes, with the reality of natures infinite powers.”
To give the sound what it deserves, they invited Phil Jonas (Crone, ex-Secrets Of The Moon) and Azathoth (Gràb, ex-Dark Fortress) to leave their mark on this record, creating a connection between this world and spheres that can never be spoken of. Both songs are integrated to the rest of the record with maximum black glue, giving the listener the experience of deep current.
