Back in stock - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Formed as a secretive solo project in 2013 in the Isle of Wight to express feelings of isolation, introspection and esoteric emotions, Ethereal Shroud practices black metal with challenging song structures and lengths. The songs are cinematic, engaging with melodic riffs and hugely atmospheric soundscapes with layers that unravel with close listening, repeating motifs and progressive undertones that revel in subtlety as opposed to showy displays. They show to you only as much as you put in, rewarding you for dedication - created entirely by himself in isolation.
Trisagion continues this trend with more investment in production, more aggression, tighter performances and more emphasis on challenging songwriting. Lyrically focussing on resentment to fascism, esoteric emotions towards a world crumbling to its own cycle of greed and destruction and a response to personal traumas. Trisagion is an unrepenting album that pulls no punches, unforgivingly unaccessible in its presentation that unravels only as much as you're willing to dedicate to it. Joseph Hawker's new vision was assisted by incredible musicians for the first time. This is Black Metal for those who wish to get entirely invested and lost in its deep, introspective layers of resentment and guilt.
The CD will include the bonus track "Lanterns" that is exclusive for physical editions.
The first (and final) album from Finland's GRIEVE, Funeral, on CD, cassette and digital formats.
It was but 2020 when GRIEVE emerged from the darkness with their self-titled debut EP. Although otherwise meant to exist strictly in that darkness, it was soon discerned that the band included veritable Finnish black metal royalty within its ranks. Nevertheless, the swiftly uncompromising nature of Grieve was felt: Northern Black Metal Exclusively From the 1990s. No more, no less, no progression, no fun.
The same banner is upheld on Funeral, GRIEVE's highly anticipated debut album. Aptly titled, Funeral is also the band's final recording, and a more fitting epitaph one will not find. Recorded in Hell during the diabolical summer of 2021, GRIEVE's first full-length is a fiercely focused one, solely featuring funereal marches by V-Khaoz and last rites by Werwolf. Beyond cold, utterly grim, violent and restrained simultaneously, Funeral is a record out of time, one where the last couple decades of "black metal" never existed. In fact, it's not inaccurate to say that GRIEVE's final strike could've been released by Malicious Records back in the mid '90s, so authentic and impassioned is this vintage obsidian. Suitably for the occasion, mastering was done at Trollhouse Audio, giving Funeral that extra gleam of deathly pallor.

KVAEN dominated the underground scene and had the audience in a firm grip, today still the album continues to hold a special place for many, with the new album titled "The Great Below" Kvaen has taken everything to the max and
created a follow up even more grand than its debut, the blades are sharpened and the sound is bigger than ever. The Great below is a sophomore album you'll only hear once your in life time. Building on the sound developed on the Funeral Pyre but taking everything to new levels with a monster of 8 tracks, this time accompanied by drummer Tommi Tuhkala whom also serves as the live drummer for the band, but the album dosen't stop surpassing there, we have some special guests on both solos and vocal duets, Mike Weed, Sebastian (Battle) Angus Norder, Nephente, even guest work by Finnish folk metal vocalist Vreth of Finntroll ending the piece with The Fire Within Him Burns.
The Great below will surely please fans of the debut.
