Collectors edition, one off pressing, digipak CD with booklet
Italian long-standing black metal pioneers Funeral Oration are back with their third album. Originally formed in 1989 in Taranto, Apulia, the band released their debut album Sursum Luna in 1996 on Avantgarde Music before dissolving the following year. Twenty years later, in 2017, guitarist and keyboardist Luca La Cara and singer and lyricist The Old Nick brought Funeral Oration back from the dead to release their sophomore album Eliphas Love in 2019, again via Avantgarde Music.
Five years have passed already, and the time has come for a new chapter. Antropomorte sees La Cara and The Old Nick banding with bassist Iblis (Handful Of Hate) and drummer David Folchitto (Stormlord and many others) to craft seven hymns of old-style, essential black metal from the ‘90s. As Funeral Oration describes it, Antropomorte is “a desperate litany of decadence and mystical delirium. Marcia funebre per il genere umano.”
Once again we deal with poetry, occultism and antichristian sentiment thanks to lyrics directly inspired when not directly translated from poets and artists from different ages. “Amor Obsessio” is a direct translation made by The Old Nick from ”La morte embaumée” by M. Rollinat (1883), “Cloaca Cattolica” (“Catholic Sewer”) is inspired by true events occurred in Varazze in 1907, “Il Serpente Della Genesi” (“Serpent from the Genesis”) is another translation from “Lilith” by R. de Gourmont (1892) and so is “Notturno Sepolcrale”, translated from “Ténèbres” by A. Samain (1895). “Stregheria”, on the other hand, is a direct quotation of Salvator Rosa’s “La strega”, from 1646.

Black Blood was recorded in an old mental hospital by members from Dissection, Eternal Darkness back in ´92. Dedicated to Jon Nödtveidt.
"Invoking The Abysmal Night", the fourth full length of Aegrus is finally here and it's going to be one of the highlights of 2023. The album contains seven infernal tracks of Black Metal supremacy in the name of Satan, Lucifer and Death.
Lux Tenebris: "There is more variation than ever before on that album and at the same time it sounds 110% Aegrus so I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
I'm highly satisfied with the outcome starting from the cover art and ending with the very last note of the album"
More than 6 years have passed since the release of ‘The Book Of Kings’, the regal 4th full length album from Australia’s stone pillar of funereal dirge, Mournful Congregation.

TRISTITIA Biography 1992-2020
The band was founded by Chilean/Swedish guitarist Luis B. Galvez 1992, Halmstad, Sweden. His devotion for Doom Gothic Metal and dark sorrowful melodies brought him to form the band with Death/Gothic style vocalist Thomas Karlsson (Pagan Rites, Devil Lee Rot, Autopsy Torment) and Harri Juvonen(Pagan Rites) on bass.
They recorded their first demo in April ’93 entitled ”Winds of Sacrifice”. In January ’94 they released their second demo ”Reminiscences of the Mourner”. The receiving of this demo was even better than ”Winds of Sacrifice” and gave Tristitia a record deal with the French label Holy Records summer 1994. In march ’95 Tristitia released the CD album "One with Darkness" now with Bruno Nilsson behind the drums, Thomas on vocals and Luis recording all guitars, bass and keyboards,
Summer ’96 they recorded their second album ”Crucidiction” now with session drummer Alessio in Dan Swanös studio Unisound which was released December ’96. Tristitia’s third album ”The Last Grief” brought the band a new atmospheric Dark Doom Heavy Metal singing style with session singer Rickard Bengtsson from the Swedish band Last Tribe and with mixed doom riffs/classical guitar parts Tristitia found a new path beyond the labyrinth of Darkness. At the fall 2002 the band entered Darkside Studios in their hometown Halmstad to record their fourth CD ”Garden of Darkness” with session Death style vocalist Stefan Persson. Due to line-up difficulties between 2002-2017 the former member Luis B. Galvez now in the Mexican black/thrash/death metal underground label Atolinga Records in 2017 re-released Tristitia's two demos "Winds of Sacrifice" (1993) and "Reminiscences of the Mourner" (1994) on CD entitled "Lamentations from the Beginning" and could finally release in January 2020 the full-lengh album "Burial of the Sad" with Thomas Karlsson back on vocals. Tristitia is the word in Latin for sadness.
“Solace, understanding, progression, and communion—the essence of such terms musically grace your ears and palpitate your soul… Indefinitely, for fans of Agalloch, Drudkh, Woods of Desolation, Thy Light, Blaze of Sorrow, Elderwind, Váli, and Antestor!”
