Pioneering French dark atmospheric music since 1996, Dark Sanctuary is back with their eighth album, Cernunnos, the first in fourteen years. Following the EP Iterum released in 2022, it marks the group's return to the front of the stage.

Cernunnos is an ancient Gaulish god who embodied the biological cycle of nature, simultaneously reflecting life and death, germination and decay, like the deer, the animal that represents him, who loses its antlers in winter to recover them in spring. This title perfectly symbolizes the history of Dark Sanctuary after these years of artistic break and this rebirth.

Composed during the year 2022, the 11 songs of this album make it one of the most varied that Dark Sanctuary have made so far, oscillating between what has characterized the band for two decades and new musical horizons. Both dark and emotional, Cernunnos is a new milestone in the history of the group.

The work of one Alexis Chiambretto, with drums provided by Nicolas Muller, UNHOLDUN's style of black metal is simple but sublime. Although the band hails from France, the sweepingly melodic surge which pushes this self-titled record forward favorably recalls the Québec scene that's made waves in the underground for the past decade-plus. Melancholic yet triumphant, faintly folky but never mawkish, its ever-insistent propulsion taking dynamic twists and turns, and even some commanding lead work cropping up, Unholdun retains a certain timelessness: looking to the past, UNHOLDUN nevertheless feel very NOW.

"I didn't try to revolutionize black metal with this EP," says Alexis. "It's more like 'a tribute' to the good, old black metal. So, I would like to feel a little bit the 90's vibe, even in the artwork." Expanding on that latter element, he says, "The devil on the front cover plays a 'carnyx,' a French trumpet used by Gauls before a war to frighten enemies." Sound that trumpet, then, for the arrival of UNHOLDUN!

Almost four years after Moth's Illusion, Arpitanian black metal veterans Enisum, from northern Italy, are back with a brand new studio album, the fifth in their career.
Forgotten Mountains is a journey through mountains and life, a path that leads Man to the highest peak, to face his own existence and its meaning. Enisum’s new album consists of eight atmospheric gems for fans of Wolves In The Throne Room, Earth And Pillars and the most intimate and naturalistic side of black meta

 DARKTHRONE hanno annunciato l’uscita di “Goatlord: Original” il prossimo 10 febbraio su Peaceville Records. L’album viene presentato come la “forma originaria” di “Goatlord“, demo-album del 1996 che prosegue sulla scia death metal del debutto “Soulside Journey“.

Secondo quanto dichiarato dalla band, “Goatlord” doveva essere il secondo capitolo della discografia dei DARKTHRONE, ma i piani cambiarono con lo sviluppo di un sempre maggiore interesse verso sonorità black metal. Alcune parti composte originariamente per “Goatlord”, tuttavia, vennero utilizzate per l’effettivo secondo full length della band, “A Blaze In The Norhtern Sky” (1992).

“Goatlord: Original” include i brani originali composti per l’album in versione strumentale, registrati in sala prove, con in formazione Gylve ‘Fenris’ Nagell alla batteria, Ted Skjellum e Ivar Enger alle chitarre e Dag Nilsen al basso.

I pezzi sono stati recuperati dalle audiocassette originali in possesso di Fenriz, ed elaborati e rimasterizzati da Patrick Engel presso gli studi di Temple of Disharmony. L’artwork è a cura di Zbigniew M. Bielak.
