Conceptually, Eldamar used to be inspired by J.R.R Tolkien, Heathenism, Elven Magic and Nature. On the new album, however, this focus has shifted more towards existential themes and nonphysical experiences. 

The goal of Eldamar's art has always been to help listeners to open up to the music in an emotional way and combine the experience with their imagination. To that end, the combination of aural and visual impressions was and still is important. Where in the past Eldamar used the gorgeous nature paintings of Albert Bierstadt to help the listener to enter dream-like lands, the new album, which is part one of a two part work, uses a magnificent painting by the Polish master of surreal art Mariusz Lewandowski to give the listener some visual cues as to what this album is about. As usual, the music and art are meant to speak for themselves, and listeners are encouraged to enter into their own spiritual journeys while listening to the new album.

This album features the song "Hagalaz" from the split with Dreams of Nature that was only available on that CD until now, as well as an unreleased demo version of "Spirit of the North" from 2015 and the previously unreleased demo song "Entering Eldamar" from 2015 - a fantastic 15 minutes opus that showcases a much darker and more melancholic side of Eldamar. The earliest beginnings, if you will. All in all you get 40:44 min of rare and unreleased Eldamar material in a strictly limited digipack edition. An absolute must have for fans of the project!

Eldamar is the solo project of Mathias Hemmingby from Askim/Norway, performing Atmospheric Black Metal and Ambient. It was formed in the summer of 2015.

Conceptually, Eldamar is inspired by J.R.R Tolkien, Heathenism, Elven Magic and Nature.

The goal of Eldamar's art is to help listeners to open up to the music in an emotional way and combine the experience with their imagination. To that end, the music on Eldamar’s releases is combined with the gorgeous artworks of famous landscape painter Albert Bierstadt. The combination of aural and visual impressions will allow them to drift away in their own dreams while listening to the songs. With persistence, this practice will carry them right through the gates of Alfheimr/Elvenhome.

After the huge success of Eldamar’s debut album “The Force of the Ancient Land” (2016), which is currently approaching 1.000.000 Plays on Youtube, both expectations and demand for more music in Eldamar’s unique style are very high. The young mastermind behind the band, with an uncanny knack for knowing what his growing crowd of followers wants, plays it cool and easily delivers another quality release that continues right where the debut album and the split EP with Dreams of Nature left off.

Reissue of the sold out CD from 2018 alongside the band's second album. Comes in jewel case with 8-page booklet.

Bloodbark is an Epic/Atmospheric Black Metal project of unknown origin and should appeal to fans of Caladan Brood and similar bands.
 

Collector's Edition in 4-panel Digipack with 8-page booklet, limited to 999 copies.

Bloodbark is a project of unknown origin made by an unknown number of people embracing that nature is the creator, storyteller and the artist behind it all. This idea sprouted with the 2018’s album Bonebranches, where no human presence tarnished the art. The human aspect remained hidden, covered by snow while nature and emotion sang across beautiful landscapes and whispered verses with melodies to every listener, so it welcomed them into its utterly cold embrace of winter to lull into a cozy and familiar slumber.

In the same vein Sacred Sound of Solitude banishes all humanity and captures the snow, spirits and creatures in a world that was born anew. And there, little stories form like snowflakes within forests and mountains to bring out majestic melodies intertwined with harsh winds and thundering avalanches. It dwells into emotional journeys of spirits, battles of elements and disintegration of living beings into eternal nature. While Bloodbark started as a perfect representation of the Majestic in Atmospheric Black Metal, it now evolved into a crisp, cold and yet more complex distinction of the Majestic. However, it does not stray too far from Atmospheric Black Metal but deepens its roots. All of this is accompanied by stunning photography of nature in winter and art that is not outsourced.

Autumn Nostalgie was formed back in 2010 from the ashes of the Dark Ambient project "Fekete Erdő" as a one-man band. For ten years almost nothing had been released, up until 2020 when the debut album „Esse Est Percipi” came out, receiving excellent feedback from fans and critics alike.

The sophomore album „Ataraxia” is ideologically a continuation of the debut, although it tries to interpret the raised philosophical and metaphysical problems from other points of view. Musically, it is closest to Atmospheric / Post Black Metal

The Atmospheric Black Metal project Autrest hails from the mountainous region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Founded as a solo-project in the winter of 2022, the debut album was written, recorded and produced between September 2022 and January 2023.

Autrest draws inspiration from nature, incorporating the sounds of the forests and mountains into its music to create an immersive experience. Influenced by bands such as Cân Bardd, Saor, Caladan Brood, Elderwind and Eldamar, Autrest creates powerful and introspective, nature-themed music that transports listeners to a world of misty forests and icy peaks where each song becomes new a journey.

Collector's Edition in 4-panel Digipack, limited to 500 copies.

Aquilus started out as an atmospheric metal solo-project by Horace Rosenqvist from Melbourne, Australia, whose works encompass different styles of atmospheric music inspired by classical, folk, and other genres. Being conceived sometime in the early 2000’s, after some experimental demos and an EP “Arbor” in 2007, Aquilus released their debut album "Griseus", created soley by Rosenqvist, on CD through ATMF in 2011. A 2013 vinyl release by Blood Music raised the band into public consciousness, and "Griseus" slowly amassed a following of devoted fans, climbing its way to being voted one of the top albums of the decade on MetalStorm.

Formed in 2015, Fuath is Marshall’s outlet for a colder, more ferocious vision, melding relentless aggression with haunting, melancholic melodies. The music channels a timeless frostbitten spirit, weaving immersive soundscapes steeped in winter’s bleak beauty, ancient mysticism, and dark folklore.

Though rarely performed live, Fuath’s selective appearances have left a lasting impact, immersing audiences in its stark, otherworldly realm.

Fuath's III, arriving five years after the last album, features four expansive tracks with a running time exceeding 40 minutes. III embodies a cold, atmospheric, harsh, and hypnotic sound, driven by blistering speed and raw intensity, while retaining the haunting melodic depth that defines Fuath’s essence.

Jewelcase CD with 8-page booklet.
Yoth Iria is the brainchild of Greek black metal veterans Jim Mutilator and The Magus - the duet which developed and pioneered the underground scene back in the day.

Yoth Iria's music is an amalgam of the influences and visions of its creators. Dark, diabolical, emotional, powerful and majestic. A fresh look into '90s Greek occult black metal with a nostalgia of the past and a look into the future.The debut full-lenght album  "As The Flame Withers" was recorded and completed at the famous Pentagram Studio with George Emmanuel (Rotting Christ, Septicflesh, Lucifer’s Child, Acherontas etc). The artwork was completed by Harnasash Singh.

Jim Mutilator was the first bassist and a founding member of the legendary Greek black metal band Rotting Christ. In 1985, at the age of 14, he started a band called Black Church with the Tolis brothers. Two years later the trio went on to form Rotting Christ. He was also the first bassist in Varathron. He appears on both Rotting Christ’s Thy Mighty Contract and Varathron’s His Majesty at the Swamp, two of Hellenic black metal’s most recognised and defining albums. He also participated in the most important black metal tour back in the day, which included Blasphemy, Immortal and Rotting Christ. He left Varathron in 1993, shortly after their full-length debut. He did two more albums with Rotting Christ, Non Serviam and Triarchy of the Lost Lovers before leaving in 1996. However, he contributed lyrics to Rotting Christ all the way up until the Sleep of the Angels album.

The Magus is a Greek musician (bass, keys & vocals) and producer, well known for his work in the Greek black and death metal scenes. He formed Necromantia in 1989 together with Baron Blood (RIP), one of the most influential and avantgarde bands of the scene. A formidable composer and a sinister lyricist, his musical projects and colaborations involve: Rotting Christ, Thou Art Lord, Diabolos Rising, NAOS, Raism, Principiality of Hell among others. He is credited for shaping the ”Hellenic sound” of black & death metal.
