Medieval Neofolk / Industrial

Here is presented for the first time ever the first proper version of the “A New Soldier Follows The Path Of A New King”, a real masterpiece from 1995. Founded in Austria in 1993, “The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud” was a medieval martial ambient project formed by musician Albin Julius (R.I.P.) and vocalist Alzbeth. The release has been totally remastered for LP/CD for the best listening experience with a fully restored layout.

The debut full-length of Paradox Mysticism will be soon available on LP and CD.

35 min of pure magic divided into five ethereal hymns full of melodic parts and dreamy passages that consolidate Paradox Mysticism among the best acts of 2024.

And here float the remains of this gloomy world… The debut album of Gulguhk – another incarnation of Finian Patraic of Ifernach, Aufnorden, Moosegut – was released on tape last year by Tour de Garde, and will now see the well-deserved LP and CD treatment on ASRAR. Four more amulets of triumphant Gespeg Black Metal that deserve the attention of any true disciple of the dark arts.

Following close on the heels of last year's digital-only debut album Jaundiced Hag of the Wood, Norwegian entity GRYLA make an even-stronger case for black metal supremacy with The Redeemer's Festering Carcass. Like that dark-horse debut, GRYLA's second album features a similar schematic - ripping 'n' roiling riffcraft, forward momentum whipped into a continual crescendo, tension and release waging a wondrous war - but a sound that's strangely classic and modern simultaneously. The work of one prodigiously young Torbjørn Kirby Torbo, GRYLA honor early domestic touchstones like Gorgoroth and Dødheimsgard's respective first albums as well as Kvist's lone album and Sorhin's '90s recordings whilst twisting the knife in different-yet-honorable ways. For one, Torbo's skewed melodicism nods the various schools of dissonant BM the past few decades; for another, there's often a clanging, minimal-is-maximal punkishness that reminds of Bone Awl's influential tapes or Carved Cross more recently. Put all together - and again, with RIFFS to infinity and beyond - The Redeemer's Festering Carcass breathes rotten, refreshing life in strident second-wave classicism

2025 and now its time for 4th full length album of Finnish cult black metal. The best album of band offers bleakest and darkest works so far, staying loyal to Warloghe sound that means it also progresses further with every new release. NH-333
