Everything created under the name ARCKANUM is an extension of Shamaatae's Thursian spiritual practice and artistic vision. The music is conceived not simply as artistic expression, but as an act of magical will, shaped to evoke specific inner states, esoteric ideas, and atmospheres without compromise or conformity.
From its beginning, ARCKANUM has followed the Left-Hand Path: the way of the outsider, the vargar, standing beyond imposed order and conventional morality. Resistance, questioning, and individual will have always remained fundamental to both Shamaatae's spiritual Work and his approach to art.
The forthcoming album carries this principle further as a complete magical working. Music, lyrics, sound, and visual form have been developed as interconnected parts of the same ritual expression, shaped through intent and devotion within Shamaatae's Thursatru Workings.
Written in Old Swedish (fornsvenska), the lyrics draw upon Old Norse and Swedish poetic traditions while incorporating elements of Swedish svartkonst. They function as mythic charms and narrative incantations, invoking the Thursian current.
Musically, the new material represents a fusion of ARCKANUM's older foundations with Shamaatae's present approach to composition. The new album Beswærilsin cuts deep with a feral, unpolished production, raw with aggression and stripped of unnecessary ornament. Its sound moves between the freezing storms of Niflheimr and the relentless, blazing fury of Múspellsheimr, at once cold and searing, primitive and forceful, carrying the unmistakable spirit of ARCKANUM into a harsher and more dynamic form.
First time on vinyl plus we're running a small edition on digipak CD too (originally released by Wolfspell Records in 2018).

Almost four years after the acclaimed Vsesvit, Ukrainian one-man atmospheric black metal band Severoth is back with a new studio album. Multi-instrumentalist Illia Rafalskyi took some time to gather his thoughts and introduce his latest work as follows.
“Originally, By the Way of Light was intended as the spiritual successor for Vsesvit. I started working right after Vsesvit was finished, I wanted to create something powerful, energetic but yet light and bright. Something which will inspire people to be better versions of themselves. And to remember that there is always hope.
Music was mostly composed and recorded at my home studio in Dnipro, Ukraine. Actively crafted from 2021 up until 23th february of 2022. And intended to be released somewhere in 2022. But on the 24th of February my family and I woke up at 4 am from the sounds of distant explosions… That is when the Russian invasive full-scale war against Ukraine started. And our lives changed forever…
For a full year since then I haven’t created a single note for this album and my mind was far from music, with exception of the second song, “Sons Of Steel Will”, for which I wrote lyrics in September 2022, inspired by the events of that period.
Later in 2023, after more than a year of ongoing war we moved to a safer place and I was able to finish the album. So, I’ve spent around half a year working and re-working the material. In the summer 2023 drums and missing vocals were recorded. Music and lyrics I wrote myself. Lyrics are in Ukrainian, but translations in English are featured in the booklet. The cover art and all inner illustrations were done by my wife Julia (UD).
I’m glad I have had the opportunity to finally finish this album and share it with the world.”

Founded in 2004, Finsterforst have released 5 albums and 2 EPs so far. Starting as a folk metal act with high usage of accordion, the band has evolved its sound to some kind of epic and cinematic mix of post, post black, black and folk metal featuring an enormous range of different singing styles and heavy riffing. The band itself calls this sound Black Forest Metal, referencing their roots in the Black Forest region. During the covid pandemic Finsterforst asked their fans to help funding a new EP with only one song clocking in at almost 40 minutes. The fans came to help, Jenseits was born. Definitely not made for streaming, Finsterforst continue to go their own way of creating mind-bending art that will stand the test of time. The new mini album has only one song clocking in at almost 40 minutes. This album is divided into 4 chapters.
Over eight tracks, With Doom We Come indulges all things sublime and majestic, while grandiose keyboard backgrounds and mystical intros weave pure atmosphere contrasting with raw black metal. Opener ‘Tar-Calion‘ is a fitting ode to the last king of the island of Númenor, while ‘Carcharoth‘ tells the bloodthirsty tale of Arda`s mightiest wolf. Sagas and myths culled from J.R.R. Tolkien`s vast universe are the black blood that courses through SUMMONING`s veins, and With Doom We Come the ultimate soundtrack to a fantastic journey!
