DRUDKH is a venerated entity in the realm of atmospheric and pagan black metal. Renowned for their evocative storytelling and profound musical compositions, DRUDKH stands as a paragon of artistic depth, seamlessly melding the corporeal with the ethereal.
With ‘Shadow Play’, DRUDKH offers a mesmerizing odyssey through themes of exile, the cyclical dance of life and death, and a poignant yearning for one's origins. An album which invites you into a realm where silence battles storm, and light intertwines with shadow. A 6-track journey - "Scattering the Ashes" stirs the soul with its introspective melancholy, while “April” envelops you in a meditative trance. The narrative evolves with “The Exile”, capturing the essence of displacement, and continues with the poignant echoes in “Fallen Blossom”. “The Eve” stands as a meditative contemplation on life’s fleeting beauty, and the expansive “The Thirst” culminates this exploration with a profound reflection on human yearning.
‘Shadow Play’ is an evocative experience that challenges you to confront your shadows and revel in the intricate dance of light and dark. Let DRUDKH’s newest release illuminate your path through the bleak human experience.

For fans of AGALLOCH, WINTERFYLLETH, SAOR.

Handful of Stars is the eighth full-length album by Drudkh, released in 2010.
The guitar sound on this album is significantly cleaner than that on any previous album the band had released, with the exception of the band's folk album Songs of Grief and Solitude. Critics and fans noticed a strong influence from post-rock and such bands as Alcest.
Again, for lyrics was used the poetry of Ukrainian authors, such as Oleksa Stefanovych and Svyatoslav Gordynskyj.

"Ukrainian blackened death/doom metal offensive 1914 continue to reflect the gruesome tales of World War I, its soldiers’ fate, their death, fear and feats to be never forgotten, and unleash their new opus, Where Fear and Weapons Meet, on October 22nd, via Napalm Records. Its eleven tracks of pure historic harshness follow up to the band’s sophomore full-length, The Blind Leading the Blilnd (2018), and debut, Eschatology of War (2015), both highly acclaimed amongst critics, and create a sophisticated variety of massively brutal blackened death metal accented by dramatic and realistic audio soundscapes and disquieting melodies spiced with the approach of sludge and doom!

Reissue 2023

Fantastic debut album of Blackened Death/Doom/Sludge warmachine from Lviv, Ukraine dedicated to WWI and coming with fresh and powerful sound in veins of HAIL OF BULLETS, ASPHYX and BOLT THROWER with strong martial atmosphere. The album covers the whole theatre of fighting the Great War - the Battle of Gallipoli and the involvement of Ataturk, Brusilovsky breakthrough, the Battle of Verdun, gas attack at Ypres, Italian troops Arditi, Christmas truce and the bombing of London by German Zeppelins. WWI does not explored very often in metal, but these Ukrainian brave soldiers make a damn solid case for it. It's stomping, it is heavy as all hell, and just makes you want to get up and march toward death.ù

Transparent green 12" vinyl in gatefold.
Limited to 250 copies worldwide.

PONTE DEL DIAVOLO emerged from the underground of Turin in 2020, born from members of Feralia, Inchiuvatu, Abjura and Askesis. Blending doom, black metal, post-punk and wave, they forged their own aesthetic - blackened post-punk.
‘De Venom Natura’ marks the Italian band’s most daring incarnation yet: an alchemical meditation on the poisons of nature - seductive, transformative, and deadly. Recorded live to preserve raw tension and imperfection, the album channels the atmosphere of their stage presence: dual basses thrum beneath haunted vocals, guitars flicker like burning incense, and drums strike with primal urgency.
Produced by Danilo Battocchio (Deepest Sea Studio, Turin) and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Redmount Studios, Stockholm), the record unfolds like a fevered vision... Equal parts decay and revelation.
