Jewelcase CD with 12-page booklet.  

Brand new studio album from one of Poland's most original and long-running metal bands - Tenebris. Formed in Łódź, Poland in 1991, they began as a death metal act before incorporating progressive and even jazz influences into their sound, being extremely hard to categorize as under just one metal genre.

The album title references the iconic Polish XVI century poet, visioner and magician, Jan Kochanowski. His works are shown here as  a deliberate labyrinth based on Pythagorean numerology, which in turn was derived from Hermes Trismegistus. This new perspective transformed Kochanowski from a simple, pastoral poet into a practitioner of what might be called magical arts. The idea of Kochanowski as a prophet figure, transcending even Mickiewicz, became central to the album's unapologetic title.

 

Deluxe cross-shaped 10-panel Digipack CD with partial glossy UV Varnish and SoftTouch finish. Limited to the first pressing. 

Debut album from new occult/doom rock act from Poland - Drowned in Silver. 

Drowned in Silver is a project formed by musicians from the black metal and experimental music scenes. Their music finds a unique balance between occult rock and trance-like expression, drawing inspiration from the spiritual intensity of artists like The Devil’s Blood, Dead Can Dance and Wardruna.

The band’s signature sound, blends the dark atmospheres of occult and doom rock with a distinct gothic rock touch. 

Gladium Regis was born in the early 2000s as a collaboration between Arcanist Augur Svafnir and Salinoch. The duo recorded The Dark Stronghold (2003), an unreleased demo. Though never published, the demo songs and ideas carried forward and have been later reworked for Draugr (the Italian pagan black metal band which Svafnir co-founded and fronted in 2000s).

Even before Gladium Regis or Draugr, Svafnir had been experimenting with folky synth and dark electronic compositions, collected under the demo "Svafnir – Let the Ravens Come". Years later, those early sketches became the foundation for “Kingdom” (2020), a dungeon synth release created in London as an atmospheric backdrop for tabletop campaigns. “Kingdom” served as both a resurrection of the Gladium Regis banner as a solo dungeon synth act and a bridge between past experiments and future directions. “Kingdom” received some attention and has been released as CD and MC format.

Magnitudo is a three-piece project based in Bergamo, Italy. Drawing inspiration from the cornerstones of the post/sludge scene and fusing them with a more traditional metal framework, Magnitudo crafts a sonic
assault driven by super-massive riffs and a devastating rhythmic backbone.

The album comes with a 12 page booklet & full artwork design. Limited to 500 copies on CD

"Cryptic (1997) marks the arrival of vocalist Roberth Karlsson (Scar Symmetry, Pan.Thy.Monium, Facebreaker, Darkified), who took over from Dan Swanö. This remastered edition of Cryptic is now available.

Batushka's 2019 Opus Returns: The Liturgy of Death Re-released!

Back on Black is proud to announce the comprehensive reissue of Hospodi (Church Slavonic for "Lord"), the second full-length album from the Polish black metal phenomenon, Batushka. Initially released in 2019, Hospodi represents a more polished, melodic, and theatrical evolution of the band's signature, ritualistic sound.

Based on the Eastern Orthodox "Liturgy of Death" and traditional funeral rites, the album is a thematic journey through death and judgment. This reissue brings back the ten-track masterpiece, which blends traditional black metal (tremolo riffs, ferocious blast beats) with haunting choirs, atmospheric ambient interludes, and profound Slavic chants.

Hospodi was lauded for its dramatic production, and this reissue shines a light on key tracks like the atmospheric opener "Wozglas," the rocking-yet-menacing "Wieczernia," and the powerful closer "Liturgiya".

The UK’s Black Metal forerunners, WINTERFYLLETH make a stand with The Unyielding Season, coming March 27, 2026 via Napalm Records. Their ninth album is a social commentary wrapped in meticulously crafted poetry and prose. Where the preceding album, The Imperious Horizon (2024), described an ominous, malevolent force, lurking in the distance, The Unyielding Season now explores said threat becoming a reality. The raging wildfire to its predecessor’s calculating, icy cold, WINTERFYLLETH’s first offering for their new record label is a reflection and a rebellion against the turmoils tearing individuals apart. It is a cry against the unsustainable weight of fear and pressure being pushed into the world, by the agents of a unresting, and unyielding force for evil.
