Back from the depths of Okinawan graves, dead souls chant occult folklore tales from the ancient Ryukyu realms.
Seiden is the only Black Metal band existent in Okinawa (JP), strongly sourced by original and edgy black metal (from Mayhem to Portal), with powerful drums, 8 sting guitars and evilish undertone vocals the sonic experience of Seiden is similar to deep diving into an ocean of ghosts and shadows.
Seiden is playing live with traditional Okinawa Taiko and Shamisen　which crafts a unique atmosphere unique to the undergrounds of Okinawa.

A collection of ugly and beautiful tales played by anguished spooks.
Finally the heretic Japanese black metal YVONXHE had completed their second album. With the appearance of a solemn relic, a flood of beautiful melodies that control a sense of loneliness are constructed by layering chords as vivid as fresh blood, creating a new frontier of black metal! What will you witness? Be invited to the dark valley where Spooks dwell...

This album, written between 2022 and 2024, is thematically a continuation of the previous album (Genetic Grief). It explores the past through the lens of our ancestors and is a link to the present. One of the bridges linking the past and the present is nature. Nature, which has witnessed everything, has seen everything and brings the knowledge and stories of our ancestors to us. In this album, the focus is on the ancient Georgian tree cult, which existed in Georgia before our era. Our ancestors believed that the souls of dead people moved into the tree branches and leaves. To me, this is the most beautiful formulation of the state after death among all the versions presented by religions. The nature of Georgia holds many secrets; my goal and desire is to delve as deeply as possible into these stories and to feel them as intensely as possible.

The first full-length album from America’s most vile and raw black metal act, Ärid. Utterly evil and utterly devastated, it is composed of feral performances that sound as though a forsaken, dying body has gathered its last strength to annihilate the enemies who abandoned it. Beyond the rusted gates, the revenge of the slaughtered victims dreams in silence. First-ever CD edition from Hidden Marly Production!

Second Full-Length Album. Emerging once more from the abyss, the American purveyors of depraved and primitive Black Metal, Ärid, return with their second full-length offering. Exhumed from subterranean catacombs reeking of cursed remains and maggot-spawned decay, this work channels raw, unholy energy into a performance both violent and mesmerizing. As the all-consuming twilight sinks into the abyss of ruin, the grave is sealed in sulfurous flesh and petrified stone — a monument to absolute corruption and death. First-ever CD edition from Hidden Marly Production

On this fourth opus, the project descends into its most primitive essence. While the previous works unveiled more polished medieval atmospheres and epic soundscapes, here the focus is on a deliberately raw sound, unrefined in its mix, carrying the rough edge of early ’90s demos. "Unholy Empire Trilogy" consists of three tracks, each 11:11 minutes long, reaching a total of 33:33. This is no accident, but rather a ritualistic continuity with past works, share that same symbolic duration. Each composition is crafted with strategic intent: the first track opens with black metal fury, the second conceals its black core at the very heart, and the third holds it back until the climactic end. The dungeon passages are never mere filler — they serve as connective tissue, binding the black metal surges with atmosphere and lyricism rooted in Luciferian and medieval imagery. A dark march where the echoes of medieval catacombs intertwine with the thunder of battle, delivering a manifesto of raw epic medieval black metal!!
