Skuggor, the solo project of M., an Australian multi-instrumentalist based in northern Sweden, draws its essence from the meeting point between the physical and the transcendental. Deep forests and snow-covered terrain are not merely backdrops, but gateways – spaces where hypnotic states and introspection take hold. On “The Expanse”, this duality comes into sharp focus: the beauty of the northern landscape set against an undercurrent of solitude and quiet desolation.

The foundation was laid somewhere along the long, winding road between M.’s home in Moskosel and the Nordvis headquarters in Arvidsjaur – a woodland stretch largely untouched by modern intrusions. Written to accompany that journey, “The Expanse” takes shape as a series of impressions formed by both the beauty and the unforgiving nature of the environment. While echoes of Burzum, Agalloch, Urfaust, and Drudkh can be sensed throughout, Skuggor reshapes these influences into something distinctly its own.

Musically, the album moves between organic synthesiser passages and harsh, fuzz-laden guitars, with vocals that feel improvised and immediate – less bound to language than to emotion. The result is fluid and instinctive, allowing each composition to emerge as a natural extension of atmosphere rather than rigid structure. Minimalism here is mainly expressed through restraint: repetition, pacing, and subtle shifts that draw the listener deeper into the sound.

8 previously unreleased songs — 7 new studio recordings and one live track.

Guest appearance by Shagrath (Dimmu Borgir) and Sakis Tolis (Rotting Christ) — a historic convergence of extreme metal's most iconic voices.

Formed in Gdansk, Poland in 1991, Behemoth are one of the most important and inffuential extreme metal acts of all time. Fronted by the visionary Adam Nergal Darski, the band have spent over three decades pushing the boundaries of black and death metal — building a global fanbase through uncompromising artistry, incendiary live performances, and a catalogue of landmark records. From their first Billboard 200 entry with The Apostasy (2007) to the record-breaking No. 34 debut of The Satanist (2014) — one of the highest-charting black or death metal albums in Billboard 200 history — through to The Shit Ov God debuting at No. 1 in Poland and No. 19 in Germany in 2025, Behemoth stand as both commercial titans and true underground icons. Their live pedigree is equally formidable: the band shared the stage with Slayer on multiple occasions during the legendary farewell tour, including the North American and Australian legs.

I, Scvlptor is an exclusive release from Behemoth featuring 8 previously unreleased songs — 7 new studio recordings and one live track. It is an autonomous body of work that bridges the band's foundational past with their present creative fire. The release features brand-new studio material embodying the full force of Behemoth's live energy and intensity. Two tracks — Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil (from The Return of the Northern Moon, 1992) and In Thy Pandemaeternum (from Pandemonic Incantations, 1998) — are newly re-recorded versions of early Behemoth material, reshaped with modern sonics while preserving their original spirit; a tribute to the bands who had a huge inffuence on Behemoth: “In League With Satan” (originally by Venom, feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) and “The Return of Darkness and Evil” (originally by Bathory, feat. Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ). Available on CD, LP, MC and Limited Edition Box Set.

"I, Scvlptor is Behemoth's latest full-length release — an autonomous work that bridges our past with what is new and fresh. It features brand-new, previously unreleased tracks that embody the full force of our live energy, intensity, and the flre that has driven this band for decades. Get ready for 40 minutes of a sonic pilgrimage forged at the highest level!" — Nergal, Behemoth

Now in their 37th year of blasphemous brutality, Finnish Black Metal iconoclasts ARCHGOAT remain one of the most single-minded and relentlessly visceral bands in extreme music.

New album "Nightbringer, Lightbringer" once again taps into the guts of ancient evil to unearth a noxious stench of horror. Undiminished and eternal, the band's patented synthesis of mystical first wave Black/Death Metal, Punk hostility, primal Thrash and bestial Grindcore is destructive as ever in its magickal raw power.

This time around a slightly less-dank production ensures each putrid note is assimilated and felt. Mind-altering atmospherics and cryptic synth embellishments remain a feature, with some grandly melodic leads and – gasp – lower gain arpeggios in place for fleeting relief before the returning waves of pummelling satanic violence.

Uncompromising, unaffected, unbowed, and capped with another inimitable cover from the legendary Chris Moyen, this is pure ARCHGOAT: corrupted, devastating and - considering the dissolving certainties around us - still necessary.

REISSUE.

After 20 years the legendary debut album from Finnish iconoclasts ARCHGOAT remains an unstoppable and irresistible demonstration of angel-ripping Black/Death Metal profanity.

These initial ten blasphemies hailed the rising darkness, welcomed the Luciferian unlight and inaugurated ARCHGOAT's relentless ongoing black crusade against the religion of the weak. Filthy and grimy in the best tradition of venom-encrusted sacrilege, "Whore Of Bethlehem" expresses ruthless contempt for all things holy - sneering openly at Golgotha amid a torrent of trampled crucifixes and weeping, violated archangels. A dark, ritualistic symphony of impurity, "Whore Of Bethlehem" is a single-minded and destructive masterpiece of twisted black Art to snuff out all the light.

This is the first new album by Crimson Glory in 26 years. Crimson Glory, an American heavy metal institution that formed in 1983 in Sarasota, Florida, USA. The classic line-up featured vocalist Midnight, guitarists Jon Drenning and Ben Jackson, bass guitarist Jeff Lords, and drummer Dana Burnell.
