Scandinavian in soil and spirit, "Hädanefter" is the harsh debut album of JORDFÄST. Steeped in both earthen melancholy and icy brutality, this rugged record originating from the realm of black metal pulls no punches; instead charging forth with ruthless melodies and pummeling, muscular grooves.

JORDFÄST's bleak voice is an ancient one, somberly contemplating the grievous disharmony in our existence, as the vast forces of nature dwarf the self-deceiving minds of mankind. From the Swedish forests, this long lost call carries out the wails of the past, reminding us that death is ever around us, in soil and spirit.

It was but March 2021 when Austria's AUSSICHTSLOS burst from the void, fully formed, with their Völlig Aussichtslos debut album. Remarkably assured, classically inclined, the power-trio presented grim, harsh, but oft-hard-rocking black metal that favorably recalled the post-Strength & Honour landscape of Finland as well as ancient-days Germania ala Luror, Wolfsmond, and Hellfucked. Six months later, AUSSICHTSLOS amazingly released another full-length, Einsicht. While it was chronologically their second album, Einsicht was actually recorded in 2020, before the release of Völlig Aussichtslos took place. Either way, between the two records did AUSSICHTSLOS show themselves as new contenders in austere black metal classicism, capable of tradition but also thought-provoking lyrics reflecting upon inner struggles so universal to the human experience.

And so it goes with Schicksalstotschlag, arguably AUSSICHTSLOS' most desperate record yet. While it may've been quiet on the Austrian front the past few years, that does nothing to dim the fire of their third full-length: Schicksalstotschlag is at once urgent and reserved, violently passionate but poised and stoic - and of course, as anthemic as ever. Not for nothing is PURITY THROUGH FIRE known as the stronghold of Teutonic steel, its sword-wielders capable of a catchiness as wild and windswept as any biergarten, and AUSSICHTSLOS keep apace on Schicksalstotschlag, keeping the riffs rocking as ever and the heart enflamed with emotion. Their production, as always, is on the palatable side of "polished," crisp and clean and gleaming with steely-eyed pride, making these nine songs the penultimate in battle-charging bombast and ballast. Credit new drummer Kartharziss (who also provides tasteful synths) with that proud pulse, although vocalist / lyricist Norsk (unchain his heart!) and fellow six-stringer Garst hold their own and help make the closing nine-minute epic "Hochverrat" the band's best track to date. Black metalsmiths of destiny, unite again for Schicksalstotschlag!

For three decades, 1349 have embodied the original spirit of black metal. Since manifesting from Oslo’s underground in the late ‘90s, the cold and hellish Norwegians have appeared at major European festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Hellfest and toured internationally with the likes of Celtic Frost, Cannibal Corpse and Carcass. Now, fresh from the ashes of eighth album ‘The Wolf & The King’, the band are releasing a new live recording entitled ‘Winter Mass’.
Taped shortly after pandemic lockdown was lifted, ‘Winter Mass’ explodes out the gates with 1349’s aural hellfire. During their set at Parkteatret in front of their home crowd, the band summon a career-spanning range of apocalyptic spells from their massive cauldron of chaos. Early classics like “Sculptor of Flesh” thrash with unchained madness and recent favorite "Striding the Chasm" whips by at a blistering pace that could only be captured by cover artist Kim Diaz Holm, who drew the album’s artwork while headbanging in the pit. "I will always be here / In all ways in all times", snarls Ravn on hellacious cut "I Am Abomination". After three decades and counting, what was once a proclamation is now a testament to 1349's enduring firepower.
Experience aural hellfire in the flesh back where it all began with ‘Winter Mass’.

For fans of MARDUK, CELTIC FROST, BEHEMOTH, MAYHEM, IMMORTAL.
