Selling CD - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Established by two girls from the Dresden area, Satyra and Melpomene, both heavily involved in
the rich local underground, ALTAR OV ASTERIA was envisioned and formed through its members'
shared influence of black metal. The goal of the band's material, embodied in their "Éna" debut, is to
balance visceral energy with enveloping atmosphere and dark melody, creating a sound both
rooted in black metal tradition and expansive new avantgarde sounds.
"Imagine you would wake up in a world full of mysteries and realities woven into each other, like in a
story book of the past centuries of Dante Alighieri or Homer. Two black-robed mysteries in
gold-snake masks wake you up from the heavy dorm with blackened sirens crushing your ears,
mesmerizing your mind to sense the allegories of humankind existence. You’ve got an invitation to a
storybook of hellish Sodom, chapter by chapter illustrating thy and foreign dystopia".
One with the Riverbed is a five-piece post-metal band from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Since forming in 2017, the band has strived to push the boundaries of the genre by incorporating elements of atmospheric black metal with dissonant textures and dynamic shifts. Succumb, the band's second full-length album, shows the band embracing their core musical identity while venturing into previously unexplored realms. With a distinct fusion of haunting melodies, visceral riffs, and enveloping soundscapes, the album is a testament to One with the Riverbed's continuous sonic evolution. Lyrical themes include nostalgia, temporality, and the human condition.
Born and raised along the rural shores of the Danube river, the element of water has always had a shaping impact on Marrok's perception of nature and life in general. Throughout the new Anomalie album „Riverchild“ he drew a musical portrait of an entity still present around this immense stream which had always nurtured and taken lifes equally, a force able of spending hope and wisdom but also possesses the strength and wrath to destroy and destruct.Comparable to the multiple faces of a colossal river like the Danube, the music on „Riverchild“ provides a diverse range of facets taking the listener on a journey full of profound and honest emotions expressed through aggressive outbursts of pure Black Metal dissonance as well as fragile moments of introspectivecalmness. Anomalie once again asks for focus and patience, but offers a wider range of rewarding layers than ever before!

“Never Arrive, Never Return” marks a return to Cadaverous Condition‘s ferocious death metal roots. The album is a relentless assault on the senses, featuring a mix of epic tracks alongside haunting half-ballads, brutal eruptions and groove-laden songs interwoven with the band’s signature cryptic lyrics, all delivered with crisp production.
Formed in Austria during the early 90s, Cadaverous Condition carved a unique path in extreme metal. While their vocals remained rooted in death metal, they experimented with diverse influences, covering artists like The Sisters of Mercy and collaborating with acts like Nurse With Wound, Thighpaulsandra, Tobias Nathaniel (The Black Heart Procession) and Herr Lounge Corps. They also did an art project with Bill Drummond (The KLF) involving a specially made CD and sending a message in a bottle from the shores of Iceland. Despite these explorations, Cadaverous Condition never strayed from their core: extreme metal with a distinct and reflective style. They return in 2024 with “Never Arrive, Never Return“, a fitting title for a band known for their relentless sonic journey.
Witness their Ascent Into Draconian Abyss, which was teasingly released in an extremely limited tape version for those who had the good fortune of attending the most recent Signal Rex-curated Invicta Requiem Mass festival and witnessing their crimes in the flesh. As the duo forecasted with the recent maxi-single Excesses of Perpetual Gloom, their muse only becomes thirstier and more miserable. Mons Veneris are always surprising, yet always uncompromising and always themselves, as testified by Ascent Into Draconian Abyss: the opening 20-minute title track is a harrowing descent into lunacy, and the ghoulishness only intensifies on the album's successive three tracks. More monkish vokills come forth, haunting like nothing else as their buzzing belligerence winds through craggy corridors of mondo-primitivism, all before the hall-of-mirrors madness of closer "Chant to the Unknown." Mons Veneris will fuck you on your Ascent Into Draconian Abyss!
