Compilation of the early Desultory demos. All tracks mastered from the original DAT tapes by Patrick W. Engel in February 2024.
Commonly cited and appreciated as one of the trailblazers of melodic Death Metal, swedish DESULTORY`s roots are deeply buried in Thrash Metal. Wearing their influences on their sleeves, their first demo From Beyond features songs in the vein of KREATOR, TESTAMENT or MERCILESS.
Apart from Klas Morberg`s eery howlings which bear semblance with early TIAMAT and the fact that the demo was recorded in legendary Sunlight Studios in 1990 From Beyond is basically a Thrash Metal demo, albeit a very enjoyable and strikingly well-played one.
It was with Death Unfolds from 1991, the rabid pack`s second demo, that DESULTORY really came into their own as far as style and sound are concerned.
Again recorded by Tomas Skogsberg in his renowned Sunlight Studios, the demo showcases most of the band`s typical trademarks they would go on to be admired for. Bangers like "Passed Away" and "The Chill Within" both of which would end up being re-recorded for DESULTORY`s debut album are top-tier swedish Death Metal with downtuned guitar riffs in abundance and a particular sensitivity for melody.
Simply titled Visions, the 3rd demo again recorded in Sunlight Studios in 1992 logically continues DESULTORY`s trajectory.
Building on the fundament laid out on Death Unfolds some of the ingredients only hinted at previously are extended and fine-tuned on tracks like "Forever Gone" and "Depression". Aided by the strongest production of their demos giving the songs that certain extra punch this demo is victorious on all fronts and a must listen for anyone into swedish Death Metal of the highest order.
Inspired by hatred and some of the vilest and darkest Metal of the 80s, Sweden`s most demented twins, Hellbutcher and Tyrant, came up with their only demo Unholy Death, spawned in hell in 1993.
Although the tracks immortalized on this demo are poorly recorded and rather amateurishly performed they already and unmistakenly bear some of the trademarks the band would come to be worshipped for. Hellbutcher`s insane, utterly
possessed screams and their songwriting talent and sense for melody turn the demo into a must-have not only for loyal worshippers of the band but for anyone into early SODOM, early BATHORY or TREBLINKA.
Especially for this compilation, NIFELHEIM unearthed several gems from their archive which turn this release into something truly extraordinary:
On top of the 4 songs from the demo-tape this compilation features 4 other original songs, 2 intros and 2 covers (MOTÖRHEAD and BATHORY) from the same recording-session.
In total, Unholy Death consists of 12 titles with a running time of almost 40 minutes.
Luxurious hardcover digibook measuring about 14×14 cm.
It contains the interview and many never before-seen pictures spread over a 30 pages booklet.
“The Eternal Sleep” drags Swedish Death Metal back to its raw, chainsaw snarled roots! Recorded by Tomas Skogsberg at Sunlight Studio and mastered by Dan Swano!

After four years of waiting, Aeon Winds are back with their new album Night Sky Illuminations. Their third full-length studio album, it follows up the themes the band dealt with in their previous album Stormveiled (2019) and the EP Extinguishing the Light (2022).
The mythological legacy of pre-Christian times intertwines with the mystical fascination of Carpathian sceneries and blends into seven long, hymnic and powerful songs.
Recorded, mastered and produced at Tryzna Studio, Aeon Winds new studio album features a painting by Russian digital illustrator Yaroslav Gerzhedovich, and will be released on CD, LP and digital November 17th, 2023 via Avantgarde Music.

Not one to keep repeating himself, Zifond pushes Neige et Noirceur over the edge of abrasiveness. Focusing on the Great War of 1914-18, Les Ténèbres Modernes will plunge you in this mechanical and suffocating hell with its alloy of vicious Black Metal and corrosive ambient passages. Also worth noting are the vocals of Schimaera (aka Chimère Noire), who joins the ranks of Division N&N for this assault…
