“Sun and moon, the perfect opposites.
A dualism from which every couples of opposites of the known universe springs. A duality observed and widely studied, sung and represented in several ways during past eras.

The aim of this Opus in four acts is to give another interpretation of this dichotomy, permeated by the typical elements which characterize our projects: different from each other for their variety but at the same time similar and joined an unanimous evocation of the past"

I. Intro/ SOL
II. Selvans – Pater Surgens
III. Downfall of Nur – Mater Universi
IV. Outro/ LUNA

Downfall of Nur and Selvans, together as one.

This is not a split album, but a concept album composed and recorded by both bands, also performing on each other's tracks.

il secondo album dei Dystopia Nå ci presenta una band completamente trasformata rispetto all'esordio di Syklus, con un songwriting drasticamente migliorato e maturato. Riduttivo a questo punto definirli depressive black metal anche se da quelle radici i 4 di Oslo sono partiti. Disco clamoroso!

from Norskmetal.net:
(..) The musicianship is outstanding, and the vocal duties shared between growls & clean vocals perfectly compliments the sonic landscape painted here. So much thought and care has been put into making everything fit perfectly, and I don’t believe a single note, growl or solo is out of place on this album. Everything fits, and are keys to solving the enigma that Dystopia Nå is. For some this band may be a hard code to crack as they are a bit all over the place, but once you manage to catch a glimpse through the looking glass, this album will reward you tenfold.

For me personally this is a very sought after album, and in my book Dweller on the Threshold is the Norwegian album of the year.

Talking about reissues/non-reissues, after Aureole and Vorde, another incredible release that we are putting out in May in compact disc form (after being released on vinyl by other labels) is “One foot in each Hell”, the complete demos collection by The DEATHTRIP, Uk/Norway ghastly duo lead by Aldrahn, of Dodheimsgard fame!

Although staying faithful to the original LP press, we have adapted layout to a six-panels Digipack packaging

It took a very, very long time for Tiwanaku to be satisfied with their debut album. The prog death metal band, originally formed in 2003 by ex-Nocturnus guitarist Ed Mowery, in its long life featured musicians like Richard Christy (ex-Death), James Murphy (ex-Obituary, ex-Testament) and late Michael Estes (ex-Acheron) among the many. Now, no less than nineteen years later, Tiwanaku is ready to release their first studio album, Earth Base One, via Avantgarde Music / Unorthodox Emanations on November 4th. The album will include contributions from many renowned musicians, from the aforementioned Michael Estes to Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse), and will feature a stunning artwork by Spanish art master Juanjo Castellano

Inverted Matter is a death metal entity born as an evolution of Inverted, a band born in 2007 in the upper Treviso area, in North-eastern Italy. At the end of 2015, parting ways with Alessandro and Enrico Scriminich (guitarist and drummer who went on to form black metal band Gorrch), former Suffocation drummer Mike Smith was recruited to write a new album. At the beginning of 2016 the lineup was completed with the addition of Jason Nealy (Bleeding Eyes) as guitarist and Leonardo “Livio” Langaro (Kani) as studio bassist.

Harbinger is a concept album which focuses entirely on the oldest arthropod ever to exist on Earth, the trilobite. The eight songs Inverted Matter crafted deal with a scientific research that goes from the still unknown origins of the species to their extinction, in a mix of old school and progressive death metal influences. Recorded and mixed by Jason Nealy and Marco Dussin at Badrum studio, Harbinger will see the light in late autumn 2022 under Avantgarde Music death metal division, Unorthodox Emanation.

A newcomer hailing from Norway, SOLUS GRIEF is the work of one Peregrinus, who handles all instruments, vocals, and mixing & mastering. And where so many "one-man black metal bands" sound as much (or worse), SOLUS GRIEF buck that trend with a righteously robust sound and fully in-the-moment style of execution. In other words, Peregrinus sounds more like an actual band than many "bands" do.

With a Last Exhale is the evocatively titled debut of SOLUS GRIEF, self-released digitally late last year - and so entranced by its rigid-yet-unique style of black metal, PURITY THROUGH FIRE is now rightfully releasing the album on two physical formats. It would not be incorrect to assume a four-song/41-minute black metal record recorded by one man would be of the depressive/suicidal variety, and to some degree, both those appellations could be applied to SOLUS GRIEF. However, as Peregrinus soon displays, With a Last Exhale moves many, MANY places - and many of them quite surprising, despite remaining steadfastly within BLACK METAL - and with a jaw-dropping fluidity; this is NOT one-riff minimalism/"hypnosis" nor an expression living/dying on "atmosphere" alone. Indeed, with plenty of atmosphere to spare, Peregrinus' compositional skills astoundingly span the full reach of extreme metal, subtly (and tastefully) touching such boundaries as '90s melodic death metal, '80s epic doom, or even just proper heavy metal...but the expression is resolutely a black metal one, the emotions intense and inward, as befitting a title like With a Last Exhale. And the bass guitar here is something that must be experienced.

Raw black metal with industrial and dark ambient.This is their seventh album.
Some tracks are noise/dark ambient constructions, acting as buffers between the other songs where the band really explore their industrial side. Others are much more black metal in scope, although the industrial/noise influences are still there, lurking like evil predators. Other songs are a real merging of the two, consolidating everything the band know about grim intensity into compressed nastiness.
