There’s a sick irony to how a country that extols rhetoric of individual freedom, in the same gasp, has no problem commodifying human life as if it were meat to feed the insatiable hunger of capitalism. If this is American nihilism taken to its absolute zenith, then God’s Country, the first full length record from Oklahoma City noise rock quartet Chat Pile is the aural embodiment of such a concept.

Having lived alongside the heaps of toxic refuse that the band derives its name from, the fatalism of daily life in the American Midwest permeates throughout the works of Chat Pile, and especially so on its debut album. Exasperated by the pandemic, the hopelessness of climate change, the cattle shoot of global capitalism, and fueled by “...lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of THC,” God’s Country is as much of an acknowledgement of the Earth’s most assured demise as it is a snarling violent act of defiance against it. Within its over forty minute runtime, the album displays both Chat Pile’s most aggressively unhinged and contemplatively nuanced moments to date, drawing from its preceding two EPs and its score for the 2021 film, Tenkiller. In the band’s own words, the album is, at its heart, “Oklahoma’s specific brand of misery.” A misery intent on taking all down with it and its cacophonous chaos on its own terms as opposed to idly accepting its otherwise assured fall. This is what the end of the world sounds like.

Oklahoma’s Chat Pile have had an exciting 2022; they released their album God’s Country, toured the midwest and east coast in support of the album, announced their appearance at Roadburn Festival 2023, and while the band is working on LP2, they’re revealing details for their score for the indie film Tenkiller. While not a proper full-length album, the Tenkiller score was written and recorded in the winter of 2020, and it waxes and wanes from the signature Chat Pile sound but also ventures into new ones— including arena country music. The band comments, “The music we made for Tenkiller is quite a bit different than what you may come to expect from us. We were given the freedom to really experiment and explore territories that we’ve never done before.” They continue, “It’s not going to be for everyone, but we hope some of you connect with what we set out to do.” “Chat Pile bring a sense of dirt and squalor to the table.” —The FADER “Oklahoma City’s Chat Pile are the perfect people to expose the dark, seedy underbelly of American life.” —Paste Magazine “Cleansingly punishing.” —Stereogum “Harrowing.” —Pitchfork

"777 – Sects(s)" is an organic, cascading volume of deviant, dark art that exhibits BLUT AUS NORD’s natural habitat, a cleansing blade amid transitory moments of non-importance. Hypnotic guitars, discomforting beats and alienating voices clash with the ferocity of aural tectonic plates to produce horrific Black Metal decadence for an anonymous, lost, irrelevant generation.

Comes in a 4-panel digipack with 20-page booklet.

The ever-inventive Ukrainian Black Metal band WHITE WARD unleash their defining third full-length "False Light", a grand work of exploratory depth which shape-shifts rhythmically creative, furiously melodic Black and Death Metal through brass-led darkjazz, stately post-rock and gothic Americana/post-punk into an indispensable record from a stunning band at the top of their game.

ANFAUGLIR was forged by US multi-instrumentalists Lord Bauglir and Griss as an exploration in storytelling through epic symphonic Black Metal. Based upon the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the duo aim to match the source material's scope and grandeur with unique cinematic compositions which transport listeners directly to Middle-earth.

Originally active 2004-2010, when they released cult 2008 debut album "Hymns over Anfauglith", ANFAUGLIR are now resurrected in glorious style to unleash a new suite of rousing, emotive and triumphant longform manifestations of a legendary mystical world.

Avoiding traditional song structures, the immaculately-produced new opus "Akallabêth" - meaning 'The Downfallen' in Adûnaic, the language of Tolkein's Númenoreans - is written and arranged in the vein of a traditional classical symphony. Themes and melodies develop, recur and transform, entwining delicately rapturous motifs with violent tragedy through the vastness of multi-layered orchestration, choral majesty, evocative chamber-work and sweeping Black Metal.

This limited edition comes in black polycarbonate CD, 4-panel digipack w/ a 16-page booklet and an exclusive slipcase printed with silver lamination.

After delivering the triumphant 2023 affirmation that they are "…still fucking I.C.E.!" via 20-year-awaited second album "Ancient Glacial Resurgence", the inimitable battalion strikes immediately again with another shattering full-length of mystical Black Metal savagery.

The third revelation from IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT is the latest apocalyptic statement from a legion once seemingly cryogenically frozen in time - advancing their legacy in a hostile whirlwind of compulsive new paeans to the ancient anti-God Råvaskieth.

White/black swirl vinyl w/ double sided insert. Sleeve printed on 300 gsm reverse side carton. Double sided insert printed on 140gsm offset paper.

A Monument of Epic Northern Majesty. Few albums have captured the essence of Norse grandeur and progressive black metal mysticism like Borknagar’s iconic The Olden Domain. Originally released in 1997, this milestone release marked a bold evolution in the band’s sound – an epic synthesis of ferocity and atmosphere, melody and might.

Now, thanks to Sevan Mater, this seminal album returns in a breathtaking deluxe edition, crafted with the reverence it deserves. This collector’s dream comes in a Triple Gatefold cover, rich with new visual and tactile depth – a true work of art that honors the spirit of the music inside.

Limited to only: 500 copies on Gold Vinyl and 500 copies on Red Vinyl. Each color captures the fire and blood of this album’s sonic journey – from the icy pulse of black metal to the warm, progressive textures that would come to define Borknagar’s identity.

The Olden Domain is more than an album – it’s a mythological voyage through time, nature, and existential reflection. Tracks like “The Eye of Oden”, “A Tale of Pagan Tongue”, and “Grimland Domain” remain towering achievements, combining intricate musicianship with visionary scope.

This was the moment Borknagar became something more – a band unafraid to expand black metal’s boundaries into untamed, poetic wilderness. With this deluxe Sevan Mater edition, The Olden Domain roars anew – raw, majestic, eternal. A must-have for fans of Scandinavian metal history and progressive extremity alike.
