For over two decades, ISKALD have stood among the leading names in Norwegian melodic black metal. Now performing as a five-piece, the band expands its trademark northern sound with its most ambitious and immersive work to date.
Built as a conceptual journey, "Curse of the Mind" unfolds through four interconnected chapters linked by ritualistic invocations, exploring themes of psychological torment, inner conflict, fragile hope and ultimate sacrifice. Framed within a stark, Norse-inspired vision of Helheim, the story is mythological in setting but deeply psychological at its core. Helheim is not merely a place, it is the shape taken by inner darkness. The true battlefield is the mind itself.
The album unfolds in four movements, connected by four ritual Invocations.

The self-titled album by Atlantic Ridge is an exploration of remote lands and forgotten geographies,
on the thin border between reality and myth. Blending elements of atmospheric black metal and
funeral doom metal passages, the record evokes alternatively rich atmospheres and desolate
soundscapes.
Across its tracks, “Atlantic Ridge” describes incredible places, surrounded by a sense of mystery, like a utopian journey through time and space. Music-wise, highly atmospheric black metal riffs collide with violent yet melodic slowdowns, framed by a constant sense of awe and detachment. While rooted in the extremity of underground metal, the album recalls the immersive spirit of bands like Wolves in the Throne Room or Altar of Plagues, combined with the majestic heaviness of early Ahab.
Recorded in Italy between 2019 and 2024, “Atlantic Ridge” represents both a physical and spiritual journey: a descent into the unknown, chasing the idea of reaching to the world’s farthest edges.

Eighth album by the legendary Handful Of Hate, once again a fierce demonstration of how black metal should be done. Violent, dark, unsettling!
