SHADOW RECORDS (distributed & marketed by REGAIN RECORDS) is proud to present LIFVSLEDA’s debut EP, Manifest MMXIX, on CD, 12” vinyl, and cassette tape formats.
LIFVSLEDA was spawned to earthly existence with the aim to recapture the old feeling of early Nordic black metal - a scene the members, in one way or another and in various constellations, have been involved with since its glorious beginning. With a strong fascination with death and the magic of memento mori, they summon the spirits of old, unleashing four songs of death-worshiping Swedish black metal. Recorded on broken instruments, literally out in the wild, surrounded by the Swedish woods and a creeping darkness, you can feel the rotten stench and presence of something great that once was.
With LIFVSLEDA’s Manifest MMIX black metal is reborn.

The Australian Wolf is unchained again! 5 brandnew studio songs with a playing time of 22 minutes will again make a clear statement that DESTRÖYER 666 are one of the strongest weapons that emerge out of the traditional blackthrashing Death Metal reich. Professional layout, fine songwriting and a superb sound make “Terror Abraxas” an essential release for everyone.

Wicked King Wicker is pure doom. Their brand of guttural expression leaves nothing for the listener than the caustic reality of the darkest side of life. It is heavy, barbaric and void of hope. Wicked King Wicker has taken the power of doom metal and added noise to mix to make its point. 'God Is Busy... Save Yourself' is their 6th album, and their first released outside of the U.S. Wicked King Wicker stands alone as the heaviest, most brutal doom imaginable and it may take you places you don't want to go.

Absolute raw Black Metal terror, a sonic nightmare shaped by powerful guitar riffs, a frantic rhythm section plus a spectral vocal performance filled with inhuman wails.

Sulphuric Night is definitely one of the most compelling names to originate from the endlessly creative Bosnian Underground scene. Through a series of releases showcasing a outstandingly austere and crude approach, it is utterly mesmerizing the way this horde casts absolute and intense darkness with its disturbing arrangements. Compiling material that was originally released in very limited quantities, "Arcane Monoliths of Triumphant Death" is a more than welcoming and comprehensive collection of a vault that goes back to 2013. Mastered directly from the original master tapes and perfectly prepared for the most captivating sonic experience, this assembly chronologically presents a distressing vault marked by eerily cruel riffs and ferocious rhythmic outbursts, insanely possessed vocals and a general suffocating atmosphere of vicious dread.
Proudly released by Black Gangrene Productions, Arcane Monoliths of Triumphant Death is an imperative acquisition for worshipers of the most hateful and perverse Raw Black Metal of today.

Burial Hex is a composition cycle of Post-Industrial music, dubbed “Horror Electronics”, by Clay Ruby. With a progressive mix of influences as far-reaching as vintage Industrial and Power Electronics, Kosmische Music, Black Metal, Techno and Electro, Early Music and Contemporary Classical, these dynamic compositions are simply unclassifiable.

This compilation continues the stunning trajectory of the previous Cold Spring reissue collection, “Book of Delusions”, falling even further into the spiraling abyss of ritual music made in preparation for the Final Mysteries in the twilight of this Kali Yuga. Collecting tracks from various out-of-print vinyl releases, including In Psychic Defense, The Tower, Fantasie und Fuge, Hunger, and the highly sought-after “A Kiss To Birth The Rotted Sun” from the WVNDRKMMER 5xCS compilation, this volume is a welcome addition to every Burial Hex collection, as well as an ideal introduction for the Horror Electronics neophyte.

Finally a third volume of the essential reissue series featuring rare and out-of-print vinyl releases from Horror Electronics maestro Burial Hex.

This collection takes us further back in time to a more raw and singular vision, whilst still infused with passionate vocals and eeire religious allusions that would eventually lead to a development of increasingly more compositional elements in the Burial Hex cycle. Collecting his sides from the split 7" with Sylvester Anfang on Aurora Borealis, the split 12" with Iron First of the Sun on Cold Spring, and taking a side each from "Bagirwa Hymn" on VON Archives and "From The Rites Of Lazarus" on Urashima, we experience the death industrial roots of this expansive project.

King Ov Hell (GORGOROTH, SAHG, GOD SEED) and Kvitrafn (aka Einar Selvik of WARDRUNA, SKUGGSJÁ, GORGOROTH) teamed up and formed Jotunspor ("tracks/traces of giants").

Musically, "Gleipnirs Smeder" binds grim and primitive black metal together with elements of noisy dark-ambient, while the concept of Jotunspor is strongly founded in the old Norse cults and beliefs. "Glepnirs Smeder", or The Forgers of Gleipnir, explores some of the incidents surrounding the creation of the world and Ragnarok - the ultimate doom / transformation. The chain Gleipnir, its forgers from the depths of Svartalvheim and Fenris - the chained jotun-wolf are some of the most important themes on the album, on which the lyrics are sung in Norwegian and Old Norse tongue.

"Despair portrayal of the souls that are lost in the winter woods. Hypnotic sound, like a thousand blades in a dance of winter blizzard leaving thousands of cuts digging into the body... Heart-rending screams of freezing flesh, summon the death, dissolving within echoes on the mountains... This album delivers cold, misanthropic and desolate mid-tempo Nordic-influenced Black Metal, along with melancholy Dark Ambient tracks. Crunchy distorted guitar minimalism, primal thrashing beats, and an overall raw necro-ish execution are well-supported by howling tortured grim vocals that recall the old Burzum era
