Hardbook Digipak 2-CD with 24 pages booklet

Mӕre - a malicious folkloristic entity creeping on sleeping people's chest during the night and causing breathlessness and anxiety. It's exactly this state of diffuse terror and paralysis that has been enshrined in HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY's music ever since their debut album. And now, more tales from feverish dreams are being released on January 29th in the form of the band's 5th longplayer "Mӕre", out via AOP Records.

As pioneers of the post movement, mixing haunting black metal with post rock moments, the Austrians have, ever since their conception in 2011, drawn fans and critics deeper and deeper into their maelstrom of melancholy, self hate and anger, and even reached #29 of the German charts with their previous release "Arson". And once again, several friends of the band entered the intoxicated world of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY to guest on "Mӕre": While Alcest's front man Neige brings a haunting flair to 'Sing For The Damage We’ve Done', before the anonymous voice of Gaerea joins in on 'Silver Needle // Golden Dawn'. As session drummer, the band one again commited none less than Kerim „Krimh“ Lechner (Septicflesh, live Behemoth) in the studio and the atmospheric artwork was designed by Art of Maquenda.

Limited edition mediabook incl. bonus track.

Sweden’s kings of gothic, deathly metal have returned with a new album, “Where the Gloom Becomes Sound”.

USA edition on Dark Descent

With “Hidden History of the Human Race”, Denver, Colorado’s cosmic death metallers BLOOD INCANTATION present the successor to one of the most talked about death metal debuts in recent years, 2016’s “Starspawn”. A cerebral whirlwind of intense and otherworldly atmospheric death metal, “Starspawn” took the underground Death Metal world by storm and is about to be topped by the quartet’s second offering. From the neck-breaking speed, slams, and sheer aggression of ‘Slave Species of the Gods’ to the album’s 18 minutes long final track “Awakening From the Dream of Existence to the Multidimensional Nature of Our Reality (Mirror of the Soul)”, BLOOD INCANTATION have excelled themselves at crafting a dynamic foray into the realms of progressive, brutal & strangely melodic death metal, all recorded analogue at World Famous Studios. Accompanied by stunning art by sci-fi legend Bruce Pennington, “HHofHR” is the manifest of a band destined to top many year’s end lists! Available as limited Digipak with Patch and luxurious LP with Gatefold sleeve, A2 poster, CD, 20-page LP booklet and lyric sheet!

"The Thule Grimoires" are The Ruins Of Beverast's 6th spawn in full length and continue the sonorous wandering across anecumenical spheres that form up and embattle for the ever raging war against poisonous and verminous trespassers of human origin. The seven works evolve around discarnate, spiritful protagonists that join the brave and inexorable powers of nature against their foe. These sceneries are rooted within the familiar TROBesque experience, grim and low-bottomed monolithic tone, enriched with morbid melodic facets and surreal soundscapes.

A split release on Aesthetic Death which churns between the unrelenting ravages of psychic whorror and the transcendent euphoria of a catatonic void; sometimes simultaneously manifesting both experiences in mind rupturing harmony. The Starless Domain trio are joined by Mories to deliver guest vocals for an extra void of blackening torn through the mix. The Tomes duo of Hermes and Dictator conjuring storm and stillness from all manner of organic and electronic fauna.
