When it comes to Russian Black Metal, there are few bands more iconic than Blackdeath. The progression within their discography is remarkable, quite frankly: a linear evolution starting with the most primitive of monochord black noise, then gradually morphing into the orchestral swarm of blades that is today’s incarnation. Constantly pummelling the boundaries of their own limits, for ten albums straight now.

Official 2021 re-release by The Devil's Elixirs.
Widely considered a staple of the early 90's black metal scene in Norway, ILDJARN mastermind Vidar Våer trail-blazed the underground through his dedication to uncompromising recording ethics and a penchant for the raw, visceral and primitive elements of the genre in it's early incarnations.
"Zeitlang" is the harsh debut full-length of Bavarian black metal act GRÀB featuring founding vocalist Grant. The former DARK FORTRESS frontman has written the entire concept album in a local dialect of Germany's southernmost Alpine state.
GRÀB, which means “old and grey”, are lyrically telling the story of an old man, who has chosen to withdraw from society into an isolated cottage deep in the mountains, where he reflects on his life while his death edges ever closer. The story on "Zeitlang" ("Yearning") begins in his early childhood with the song 'Nachtkrapp' ("Night Raven") and continues all the way to his end, which is illuminated by the track 'A Gråbliacht' ("A Grave Lantern").
Musically, GRÀB are picking up the Norwegian strands of early GEHENNA, ULVER, and DARKTHRONE as well as being inspired by German NAGELFAR and LUNAR AURORA. Yet true to their topic, the Bavarians include traditional local elements, which is instrumentally expressed by the use of hammered dulcimer, zither and alphorn.
Vocalist and Bavarian poet Grant views "Zeitlang" as his personal musical legacy. Join the singer and GRÀB on their equally intimate and forceful quest into the dark and stark places of the human mind and Alpine nature where there are no safe spaces.
"The Purging" is a madness overdose, a harrowing album that redefines the limits of abyssal Black Metal, poisonous Hardcore, creepy Noise Rock and Avant-Garde insanity.
This reissue comes in a Digipack packaging with original artwork encased in a slipcase with new artwork crafted by Dehn Sora. An exclusive "tarot" card is included with all copies. Audio content is identical to the Trust No One Recordings version.

Vinyl in gatefold sleeve including rare images and a limited edition poster.
A remaster of the 1995 studio debut from boundary-pushing Black Metal purveyors Fleurety.
Following on from the ‘Black Snow’ demo in 1993 and the A Darker Shade of Evil 7” the following year, the band quickly refined their at times chaotic sound and presented their debut masterpiece to the world, in the shape of the full-length release, Min Tid Skal Komme; an exquisite journey through dark and often introspective soundscapes.
Min Tid Skal Komme was originally recorded at Panser studios in Norway & has been remastered by longstanding partner of the band, Greg Chandler (Esoteric).
