Back in stock - Extreme Metal and Dark music
digipak reissue
After the big success of “Futile” in 1999, Rapture released the sophomore “Songs For The Withering”, following the path traced two years.
Austin Lunn from Panopticon would say on the album: “This album is for me, the joy and comfort in melancholy... The bittersweet sound track to autumn, the echoes of rainy days... Nostalgic yet relevant but above all, an honest and relatable glimpse into human sorrow. It is a warm but wet blanket, reminding me of worse days and how I fucking made it through: One foot in front of the other, consoled by the honest and exposing lyrics, powerful melodies and crushing drums of Rapture’s unsung masterpiece. Before the last breath, inhaling. Before the final death, to exhale and never let hope die that I would one day conquer the great distance.”
Swirling colours, deep drones and psychedelic moments: ESOTERIC will touch your mind, alter your state of consciousness and make you aware of the esoteric essence of space and time. When this English band formed in July 1992 as a gathering of five individuals, they were inspired to create dark, innovative music that was evocative to and expressive of the contents of their psyche. Their lyrics, music and sounds are reflections and transpositions of their thoughts, philosophies, emotions and experiences. Their music captures the essence and true meaning behind the word 'esoteric'. With this long awaited new double CD, “The Maniacal Vale”, the collective further expands on their slow psychedelic journey into crushing atmospheres. Bow your heads to this masterpiece of extreme doom.
While writing their upcoming album (due later this year), Remina ended up with three songs that no longer fit the album's themes as it began to take shape. Rather than let these songs become lost in the ether, these were gathered in a brand new ep, "Erebus".
Initially released digitally only in June 2024, the ep found a huge success and pushing us to offer the band a one-off only edition on vinyl and cd.

The second album by Soijl, a project founded by the Swedish multi-instrumentalist Matthias Svensson (Saturnus, Istapp, Vanmakt, Nidrike). Continuing the development of figurative ideas and the musical component of the debut work, "As The Sun Sets On Life", at the same time, is a new stage for the band. Gloomy, atmospheric doom death metal compositions with a dense sound and excellent performance are what Soijl is loved for, and this is exactly what the musicians offer in their new work, in a more spectacular form this time. The famous designer and photographer Roman Kamin (Wine From Tears, Mare Infinitum, Aut Mori) have been again responsible for the visual part of the album crafting a magnificent 12-page booklet.

Doomed è ormai un marchio di qualità all’interno della scena, così come lo è la tipica copertina a sfondo verde che contraddistingue ogni sua uscita, diventata ormai un appuntamento fisso in grado di ricordarci che il doom può essere anche una forma di reazione decisa nei confronti delle brutture che ci circondano, e non solo un malinconico e disperato ripiegarsi su sé stessi che è, invece, il leit motiv della sua frangia più melodica.
