CD

A fantastic split between these two projects of occult Black Metal from the United States. Häxanu is one of the most recent projects of Alex Poole, who should need no introduction, being involved in many of the most notorious and groundbreaking acts in recent years, and counts already with two full-lengths under this moniker, which also involves L.C. of Lichmagick on vocals. Collier d'Ombre is a recent project born from the ashes of the Vrasubatlat circle, and spearhead by its mastermind, R., whose blasphemous contributions in the past 10 years could also not be overstated. Two different acts, but both perfectly balancing a sense of devotion and understanding of what Black Metal should be and stands for, deeply rooted in the 90s ways, Häxanu more into the Scandinavian traditions of Arckanum whereas CdO seems to be more inspired by the Hellenic strains of Black Metal. Both crafting a sound perfectly balancing melody and triumphalism with raw aggression and witching darkness, but with approaches that are absolutely unique and contemporary without being derivative.

Originally recorded in 2013 during the "Kriegserklärung" sessions and released in 2017 as a split with Kommandant. These tracks convey the aftermath of the Great War in early 1919 by covering the brutal street fighting of factions in the early Weimar Republic. Some of the fastest and most intense songs of the band's early period are here, as well as the first experimentation with neofolk.

Re-issue, CD booklet 4 page on 135g art paper, re-mastered specially for CD.

Released in 1992, "Abject offerings" represents today an incredible masterpiece of esoteric, mystical and blasphemous death metal. It has been a classic for more than 30 years and will forever be part of history.

A quality production that has stood the test of time, complex melodies, dark and memorable, powerful riffs, make this album an ode to violence, hatred and everything that hides in the depths of darkness.

After two records out in 2021 and 2022, SadoMaster of Morcolac is back with a vengeance with the new maxi-EP (30 minutes of music) “Drawbridge To Citadel Of No More Dawn”, prelude to a forth-coming and bombastic third new record.

Morcolac draws inspiration from the late 90’s Nordic black metal, in particular from the symphonic side and - geographically - the finnish scene, a tradition continuing today with names such a Satanic Warmaster, Vargrav, Warmoon Lord. Listeners can feel a balance in Morcolac music: on one side the gloom of symphonic black metal while on the other the aggression and the malignancy of old-school black metal.

If you are into black metal and you want to experience dark forests, evil creatures and the grim side of fantasy worlds through their lyrics, Morcolac is for you!

Chicago-based progressive death metal band ABSCISSOR combines styles of post rock, post metal, deathcore, and the avant-garde.
"Metanoia", the debut album, represents the ache for growth in the midst of turbulence. A tale of memory and heart, that speaks to experiences we’ve all had as human beings.

FINALLY REISSUED ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ITALIAN
EPIC BLACK METAL ALBUM OF ‘90s

Year 1999: Europe was taken by storm by black metal, the leading force in extreme music. Actually, black metal has been mutating its primary grim and satanic force since the mid-90s and words such as symphonic, epic and melodic started appearing in the bands' descriptions.

Unexpectedly from Italy came a force capable of uniting all these inputs: in summer, under the Last Episode inprint, Stormlord released their debut album "Supreme Art Of War". The eight tracks of the record united the symphonism of bands such as Dimmu Borgir or Bal-Sagoth to melodies coming from epic and power metal and the record became a hot-topic in the European press in a couple of months.

In songs such as "Where My Spirit Forever Shall Be" or "War (The Supreme Art)" Stormlord are able to create solid fantasy-themed hymns for an audience eager to experience sensations akin to Cradle Of Filth, Graveworm and Summoning, with lyrics bathed in fantasy worlds and myths.
