Hailing from black metal's spiritual home of Norway, Myrkraverk fittingly brand their black metal "Nasjonalnekromantisk Svart Metall," and indeed does it breathe the same cryogenic air as the ancients. In fact, one could reasonably argue that the bulk of Naer Døden nods to 1996 at the very latest, so authentic and pure is the duo's grasp and subsequent synthesis of elder Norse ways. But within that raw and resoundingly true soundfield lay deeper truths, cosmic keys to their creations and times: Myrkraverk are the iciest distillation of classic Norwegian black metal in many a year. Not surprising, this, as the band is led by one Infamroth, from Throne of Katarsis and Skuggeheim among others.
Myrkraverk took its first poisonous breath back in 2001, and its dead heart has been beating with passionate pain ever since. The outputs have been few, but solid. Venom still runs through its veins, and the creative force of death and will have now led to the first full-length album, Nær Døden.

Vástígr is the solo project of Þ. (Hāg, Ill Tidings and several other projects), Austrian composer, guitarist and singer. Vástígr debut, Aura Aeternitatis, was released by Avantgarde Music in 2019 and impressed all those who dared entering its realm.
A perfect blending of atmospheric black metal and dissonant, complex structures typical to the Icelandic scene, Vástígr music is one of the very rare cases in which a black metal artist is actually crafting something personal and unique.
After a five-year long silence, Vástígr is back with its sophomore album, The Path of Perdition, a cathartic journey through downfall and uprising, of accepting man’s futility and insignificance in a greater (cosmic) scheme.
As described by Þ., “the eternal cycle goes ever on and could not care less what happens to us. Eventually the wheel of time crushes us all like insects. What remains is memory, ruins, ashes, until even those fade into oblivion – and the knowledge that the cycle shall repeat itself, for better or worse”.
Produced in Iceland at Studio Emissary by Stephen Lockhart (Rebirth of Nefast and producer for Sinmara, Svartidauði, Nexion and many more),
The Path of Perdition will feature once again a cover art by French artist Metastazis, who created art for Blut Aus Nord, Alcest, Amorphis, Ondskapt and many other prominent artists.
