CD

Danish doom/gothic metal combo Blazing Eternity is back with a new album. “A Certain End Of Everything” – to be released on April 19th 2024 – is the first new album since 2003 from one of Denmark’s pioneer bands within the melodic doom/goth metal genre.

“A Certain End Of Everything” consists of seven new tracks, including the already released first single “One Thousand Lights”. The music has the well known Blazing Eternity atmosphere and fingerprint – a melancholic, epic and atmospheric doom/gothic metal mix with weeping guitars and harsh vocals. The album is bleak and melancholic, but with a certain beauty shining in the darkness – and with very personal lyrics dealing with death, depression, and personal tragedies. But
with a gleam of hope in the end…

Pagan black metal band formed in 1991 in Wrocław, Poland.

Graveland’s style has changed from raw black metal on the early albums to a more epic sound which is inspired by Hammerheart-era Bathory. Lyrically, on the early works Rob Darken was inspired by Celtic beliefs, now he’s Wotanism-orientated and calls his music “epic pagan metal”.

“Embers of the Fallen” is the highly anticipated second full-length album from Belgian black metal band DOLCHSTOSS, known for their fierce dedication to the destruction and devastation of World War I.

Following “War is Eternal”, The music on this new offering is a powerful assault of fast tempo riffs, blasting drums and epic guitar leads which will sometimes lead you into a military march. The vocals are raw and aggressive, adding to the overall atmosphere of a Sturmpanzerwagen war machine crushing through the battlefield.

Tracks like “MG08”, “Ruins of Rowel” and “Forced March” will certainly delight fans of Marduk, Funeral Mist, and Kanonenfieber who will appreciate the ferocity and intensity of this album.

This CD version comes in a 3-part Digipack and includes a 12 pages booklet and a picture printed CD.

”Djevelkraft” gathered enough attention in 2021 to boost MYRONATH quotations and their third opus, “Inferno”, delivers a perfectly structured Swedish black metal record, balanced between bangers, sulphuric mid-tempos and melodic breaks. Guided by the harsh but understandable vocals of Hellcommander Vargblood and sustained by a blasting drumwork and killer riffings, the nine compositions of “Inferno” deal with occult matter, anti-christian themes and hellish landscapes.

“Inferno” was recorded, mixed and mastered at Endarker Sudio, in Norrköping by Devo Andersson (Marduk)

If you are into acts such as Necrophobic, Marduk, Setherial and Dark Funeral start your journey through
the “INFERNO”!

LAETITIA IN HOLOCAUST was born in 2001 by Stefano G. and Nicola D.A. and nowadays plays a technical and progressive form of extreme metal with heavy influences from black metal. "Laetitia" means happiness, "holocaust" means sacrifice: so the moniker stands for "happiness in sacrifice".
Main sources of inspiration lie in somber visions, past times, dream omens, philosophy, darkness and war.

LIH's fifth full album - after an interesting effort such as the EP "I Fall With The Saints" released in 2021 - is entitled “FANCIULLI D’OCCIDENTE”, and the title is both a memorandum and a wish.
A memorandum for today's people of any age: the visions and values of those who shaped the history of Europe, that is, its children, our ancestors, are sacred and cannot be lost. A wish for our children: may you be worthy of the blood shed by the Children of the West.

LIH plays a blend of avantgarde black metal rooted in the visions created by acts such as Ved Buens Ende, later Spite Extreme Wing or the mighty Mayhem in their "Grand Declaration Of War" vibes

Repress 2023

With an inception going back to 2019, Defacement rapidly gained momentum within the underground realms with two full-length records marked by an intense and experimental take on death and black metal, Deviant (2019) and self-titled Defacement (2021). Three long years after their latest output, the international band flares its cryptic head yet again with an epic tome of twisted and gnarly emanations, an immersive pathway into the void entitled Duality.

Defacement's third studio record is challenging and confrontational in its invocation of primal forces lying dormant in the world below. Inspired by the unfathomable, shadowy corners of human existence, Defacement hatches a penetrating sonic journey, unpredictable in its own dynamic, ever-changing form. Intricate and complex riffing lay as a basis for dexterous melodies, making Duality the most complete and mature among the band’s outputs. The cold and experimental interludes entangled between tracks, serve as halting moments that further the conceptuality of Duality and broaden the gist of the main songs.

The tremendous rhythmic section, a complex and throbbing pulse of drumming fierceness and serpentine bass playing, is superiorly captured by the dynamic and organic production, a vigorous sound that evokes both an oppressive aura and wistful solemnity. Gabriele Gramaglia (Cosmic Putrefaction, Vertebra Atlantis) and Simon Da Silva (Aversio Humanitatis) took care respectively of the mixing and mastering, finely crafting the details of Defacement’s new album. 

As the album unfolds, so does the narrative of death's unwritten pages, each track a testament to the inevitability of oblivion. While firmly rooted in black metal, the album is full of variation ranging from fast-paced blasts to doom-like passages and everything in between. The riffs pay homage to the iconic black metal bands of the 90s that shaped the genre, all the while carving out their own distinct trajectory. To create that extra layer of atmosphere, the songs are adorned with evocative acoustic & lead guitars and subtle synths.

Project by Enthroned (and Nightbringer) member 

Expulsion was formed in November 1988 by Calle Fransson on drums, Anders Holmberg on bass and Stefan Lagergren on guitars. April 1989, Expulsion released their first demo called ‘Cerebral Cessation’. November that year they recorded their second demo ‘Veiled in the mists of mystery’. In 1990 Expulsion entered the Sunlight Studios (Entombed Dismember, Tiamat etc.), to record two tracks produced by Tomas Skogsberg. After these recordings Expulsion split up due to military services of the band members and reformed with 2 new members 2 years later. Their first new release was the ‘A Bitter Twist of Fate’ 3 track mini cd.
This self-released mini cd is now a much sought after album and is for sale on eBay and discogs for 250 to 400 euros. Now finally re-issued, including one special bonus track "Let the Ravens Fly" (taken from the ‘History of Things to Come’ comp cd, 1994). The booklet contains liner notes, rare pictures and has the original artwork restored.
