Selling CD - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Double full-length album out now on Double CD in jewel case.
Compilation of the first two albums (remixed, partly re-recorded and fully remastered by Xaos Oblivion 2023/2025).
Avantgarde Music is proud to announce their collaboration with Saidan, an Eastern horror-themed band from Nashville, TN.
Born in 2020, Saidan released three studio albums so far, mixing the weird, over-the-top aesthetic of visual kei with fast, melodic riffing in the vein of labelmates Moonlight Sorcery.
Fangdriller: Scars Beneath Memories Wrist is the fourth studio album born from the minds of multi-instrumentalist Splatterpvnk and drummer Hundosai, a new chapter in the narrative concept that links together all Saidan releases. In the band’s own words, Fangdriller follows the story of a student named Junko, depressed and miles away from the people she loves. In the depths of her isolation, she finds comfort in a mysterious cult called Ethereal Blood. But unbeknownst to Junko, her anguished seclusion has made her the perfect victim.
The self-titled album by Atlantic Ridge is an exploration of remote lands and forgotten geographies,
on the thin border between reality and myth. Blending elements of atmospheric black metal and
funeral doom metal passages, the record evokes alternatively rich atmospheres and desolate
soundscapes.
Across its tracks, “Atlantic Ridge” describes incredible places, surrounded by a sense of mystery, like a utopian journey through time and space. Music-wise, highly atmospheric black metal riffs collide with violent yet melodic slowdowns, framed by a constant sense of awe and detachment. While rooted in the extremity of underground metal, the album recalls the immersive spirit of bands like Wolves in the Throne Room or Altar of Plagues, combined with the majestic heaviness of early Ahab.
Recorded in Italy between 2019 and 2024, “Atlantic Ridge” represents both a physical and spiritual journey: a descent into the unknown, chasing the idea of reaching to the world’s farthest edges.
The relentless force known as Hammerfilosofi returns this October with their most uncompromising work to date — SIGNUM. A testament to sonic extremity, SIGNUM is more than an album — it’s a proclamation. A declaration of resistance, mysticism, and philosophical warfare delivered with unwavering intent.
Conceived in the South of France from where the band is born, this recording is the first and only including the original line-up of Gorgon. For the first time on CD format, these six tracks are a mixture of fast and slow riffs, with vocals which scream real pain. The keyboard parts played by the female bassist bring morbid atmosphere highly suitable to the dark topics that the lyrics are based on. Praised by the worldwide underground at the time, it's a rediscovery of the roots of evil that gave birth to the album The Veil Of Darkness years later that the band took us down.
Re-issue of the very first demo, re-mastered for a better dynamic by WSL studios.
A personal conception of black metal at 666 miles from the actual trend.
