"Ours is the kingdom" shows more diverse and energetic songs after "Engla Tocyme", which was more sombre and reflective. "Ours is the kingdom" includes many of the bands' classic tracks and with over one hour playing time, this is also the longest album by the Anglo-Saxon legends. With the bonus track included, the total is even pushed over 65 minutes. "Fighters of the Angelcynn" was originally written by Forefather for the Folkearth project, but the track has been completely re-written, re-recorded, has new lyrics and truly blends in with the album perfectly.
To further improve this reissue, the album has been remastered by the band themselves.

Forefather are the absolute kings of creativity and epic and complex layered guitar, keyboard and vocal melodies. The songs on “Steadfast” are unbelievably memorable and catchy, whilst being more technically proficient than ever. You'll find a couple of true ear worms in the bombastic choruses, even when the album is a step up in terms of speed and fierce aggression compared to the previous two albums. Perfecting their style album after album, into the recognizable style of their own. With “Steadfast”, Forefather created their all comprehending pinnacle of unique Anglo-Saxon metal – the ultimate definition of epic viking metal.

Long awaited split with Ancestors Blood and Heervader. A highly anticipated, high profile cooperation between Finland and The Netherlands. Ancestors Blood is one of the leading atmospheric black/pagan metal bands during the last decade, while Heervader is a rather unknown project from two known individuals who are also active in other bands.
The CD comes with a 12 page booklet with lyrics and photos.

Epic and highly atmospheric pagan black metal. Powerful production, catchy and bombastic keyboard melodies and aggressive guitars and vocals. Ancestors Blood have more and more found an own identity, however still reminding of that old, typical Scandinavian sound bands like Grievance, Demonic, Covenant, Forlorn, Troll, Gehenna, Darkwoods My Bethrothed, and Dimmu Borgir.

As the midsummerday now lies behind us, this is the sound to the coming stormy nights over the vastness of the Finnish landscape! Epic songwriting as can be expected from Ancestors Blood. The new album 'A moment of clarity' is production wise a lot rougher than the previous 'Return of the ancient ones' and 'When the forest calls'; it goes back to the sound of their first demos. So expect a lot more primitive and rougher in sound, yet possibly their strongest songs ever. Recommended to fanatics of Satyricon debut and later Summoning.

This is the sound of nostalgia and authenticity - the album that started it all! "Westfälischer Schlachtenlärm" was originally never intended as a first album, but as a demorecording. It sold out within 3 months after its initial CD release, making it highly sought after. After 8 years, it's now finally available again.

Digipak CD edition with booklet 

AFSKY's second album "Ofte Jeg drømmer mig død" is a journey through the cultural history of Denmark, focusing on poems and lyrics by well-known and lesser-known Danish writers such as H.C. Andersen, Emil Aarestrup and others - reflections on the eternal misery in the age of industrialization, when people were considered "human material", trapped in everyday life and forced to work hard for the upper class until death.

To express this, a mixture of icy, nordic black metal with folk and doom elements is conjured up by Afsky, crowned by the melancholic and emotional interpretation and performance.

On "Ofte Jeg Drømmer Mig Død" AFSKY have managed to combine timeless poetry of the 19th century with their own timeless music - which draws attention to the injustices in today's world and even shows frightening parallels.

With "Whispers of Ancient Spells" Swedish-based one-man project Skuggor invites listeners to traverse realms of darkness, mist and myth. Guided by the hypnotic melodies that echo through the corridors of ancient forests, each track is a chapter in exploring shadows of the past.

With Skuggflock (Shadowpack). The third offering. Stilla returns with yet another monumental recording that reeks of aggressive, beautiful and melancholic metal. After two years of silence Stilla now slightly moves out from the shadows and once again we get the opportunity to experience the very typical rugged Stilla sound we first heard on their 2013 album Till stilla falla. Here blended with inspiration and emotions not far away from what the prog-rockers Goblin achieved with D. Argento in the 70's.

Stilla has always created their own unique style of Scandinavian Black Metal where the sound more then seldom travels into the nostalgic 90's mid era.
