Averaging an album per year since their 2018 formation, this latest expression from the rightly-revered Swiss Atmospheric Black Metal band AARA shows no drop in quality, nor let-up in their perpetually questing sense of purpose.
In follow up to 2023's "Triade III: Nyx" - the climatic installment of the 'Melmoth' trilogy based on Charles Robert Maturin's classic Gothic novel - the band now break away from the literary and apply their stunning musicality to real-world events.
"Eiger" is conceptually focused on the 3967 meters mountain of the same name in the Bernese Alps. Since 1935, at least 64 climbers have died attempting to conquer the Eiger’s sheer, ice-covered north face which has earned it the nickname of 'Mordwand' ('murder wall'). The album specifically examines an attempt to climb the Mordwand in July 1936 which ended in tragedy, as four young mountaineers succumbed to treacherous conditions and disappeared, presumed caught in an avalanche.
AARA's music has evolved dynamically in tandem with the subject matter, becoming more visceral, tangible and hauntingly powerful. An organic and spacious production allows the trademark elegiac, spirited leads and reverberant acoustic guitars of main-composer Berg to give increased emotional weight to a performance of on-the-edge savagery from vocalist/lyricist Fluss. The icy melodies, pensive moods, vibrant plummets and shifts/drifts contrast the wonderment of the natural world with a heightened sense of existential malaise and ultimately horror.
Pressed on pearl white / red marble heavy vinyl. Comes with a 12-page 12"x12" booklet and a download card. Side D contains no music but features a black screen print. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.
Following 2020's widely-worshipped "Melinoë", AKHLYS, the globe's premier channelers of abyssal nightmare, return triumphant with six elaborate and exhilarating new tracks of pure Black Metal terror.
Drawing from esoteric and mythical traditions, where the land of dreams is placed within the darkness of the underworld, arises the "House of the Black Geminus". Through labyrinthine halls, shadowed corridors, cellars of dread, and attics of epiphany, as ordeal and ecstasy meet at the vertices where each beholds his own daemon.
Pressed on blue / gold merge heavy vinyl w/ splatters. Side D contains no music but features a black screen print. Colors on final records may vary to a degree from the mockup.
SÜHNOPFER, hailing from France, return with their most fully realised release to-date of blasting, emotive, edge-of-seat Baroque Black Metal.
"Nous sommes d'Hier", the band's 4th full length since formation in 2001, finds sole member and multi-instrumentalist Ardraos continuing to explore a medieval universe in his quest to restore the tarnished glory of the Bourbons - marching between the Middle Ages and the modern era to weave compulsive tales of dark times, remembered legends and places that resonate with the death of an age.
Pressed on transparent red w/ black smoke heavy vinyl. Comes with red hot foil logo and title on the front of the gatefold sleeve, a 20-page 12"x12" booklet and a download card. Colors on final records may vary to a degree from the mockup.
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.
Comes with a 12"x12" 20-page booklet glued on the gatefold, A4 poster and a download card. Pressed on transparent red heavy vinyl with black splatters and laser engraved etching on D side.
"The Poisonous Path" is a raging beast, a monstrous work straight from the depths of Hell which distils a deeply mephitic climate into an addictive poison. The production is massive, the riffing intense, the atmosphere suffocating and the melodies vicious and bewitching, this is dark sonic alchemy.
Having forged their own amazingly impure path over the years, they are at the height of their unholy Art and comfortably seated on the throne of Devilish Black Metal!
