Unanimated’s third studio album – finally available again, on both LP and CD! After their legendary 2nd album “Ancient God Of Evil” (1995), one of the best Swedish Melodic Black/Death Metal albums of all time, it took Sweden’s Unanimated 14 years to release another album, and what a beast it turned out to be! “In The Light Of Darkness” (2009) displays the band’s rougher, more brutal side, while still incorporating their trademark sound and addictive songwriting. The album was produced by Tore Stjerna (Watain, Mayhem, Tribulation). It features guest musicians such as Sebastian Ramstedt (Necrophobic, Ex-Nifelheim), Erik Wallin (Merciless) and Set Teitan (Ex-Dissection, Ex-Watain) and the layout was created by Erik Danielsson (Watain), a long time fan and close friend of the band. The 180gr LP contains an unreleased bonus track: a re-recorded version of the song “Blackness of the Fallen Star” which had originally appeared on their debut album “In The Forest Of The Dreaming Dead” (1993). Furthermore the LP features a gatefold sleeve and a 4page booklet containing the lyrics as well as liner notes by Chris Dick (Decibel Magazine, US) based on an interview with bass player and songwriter Richard Cabeza he conducted in 2019.

"Decline to Disorder" - The second EP from The Harvest Moon, blends elements of a number of melancholy,
emotive heavy music styles, including depressive black metal and emotional hardcore. The EP explores
various ideas about the nature of humanity and society including the anxiety of living in an infinitely
complex civilization, which is beyond the control of our mere human minds.

The digipak is made as six-sided digipak with booklet-sleeve and 18-sided poster-booklet.

Limited to 500 pieces.

As auspicious of a start as that split was, HINSIDES reveal the full depth of their depravity with the debut album Under Betlehems brinnande stjärna. Immediately and remorselessly is the listener attacked with a necro soundfield steeped in the earliest, most fiery birth-pangs of Scandinavian black metal. Peer within that piercing sound – if you can survive the initial onslaught, that is – and you’ll discover a wealth of fascinating and fearless twists to ancient black metal tropes. Paradoxically, HINSIDES here are more melodic and magisterial than even hinted at on that preceding split; fluid like an ever-flowing stream, the riffing is harsh yet finessed, evincing an eerily hummable quality that only intensifies the strangeness Under Betlehems brinnande stjärna presents. Suitably, mainman M.A.’s vocals are unhinged and utterly feral, in no uncertain terms imparting pure devil-worship and archaic witchcraft. Which is to say nothing of the unique(ly haunting) integration of church bells…all put in service of Him.
 

Emerging from the edge of the ancient forests of the Veluwe, Solar Temple offers their debut full length. 'Fertile Descent' lures you in with its direct yet swirling black metal impression and unique approach. Like something sinuous at the edge of your vision but not quite perceivable, the two tracks of this album twist and bend with a dizzying ferocity. Pummeling sounds entwined with a distant echo that also feels warm and inviting.

A brand of black metal akin as much to Judas Iscariot as it is Teitanblood.

EP che segue il loro debutto sulla lunga distanza, “New Era Of Chaos”, uscito come autoproduzione. La band milanese negli anni ha evoluto e mutato più volte il proprio sound alla ricerca di quella maturazione stilistica che tutte le band inseguono. Sono passati da un black metal a tinte sinfoniche, ad un black metal tirato in stile svedese del già citato full, fino ad arrivare ad una nuova svolta stilistica con “Diabolicunt”.

When plague and cholera unite on a French Black Metal alliance, sensitive souls will have to abstain.
Halsfang (Mourning Forest members) is always posseded with his vocal and musically by the beast... Only a demonic energy !
Pestiferum is like you have never listened since 13 years of existence, more biting than ever.
 

Lucifericon‘s first full-length recording, Al-Khem-Me. Tongue-twistingly titled but aptly so, Al-Khem-Me keeps apace with the developments of Brimstone Altar and further masters the art of the “patient payoff.” Its blackened DEATH literally explodes from the very first seconds, but the band’s songwriting builds detail upon subtle detail despite the obvious aggression employed. Utterly gnarled and gnarling, the lurch ‘n’ lunge across Al-Khem-Me creates a bewilderingly slipstreaming effect, dragging the listener into a distant, nameless vortex, but always with a keen knack for memorability. For above alll, this is METAL, unbending and unyielding, forged in fire and weilded as a weapon; it just so happens that Lucifericon‘s is one fully set on attack, its intensity steeped in the grand traditions of late ’80s / early ’90s death.
