It must be said asap: AzVs, the mastermind behind DAUGHTERS OF SOPHIA, choose to end his life on October 16th 2024. Flowing Downward, the label, received the whole album a few months before his death and was given freedrom upon its release. It is thus in memory of a gentle but tormented soul that we releases this album.

Titled "(4.0°) Tsalmaweth", this is the fourth album of the French Atmospheric Post-Black Metal project DAUGHTERS OF SOPHIA. Following the formula of long songs centered around excellently melodic riffs and solos, fast rhythms and shaded vocals, this album displays a certain crystalline, epic but haunted atmosphere throughout the whole length.

Wave after wave, song after song, this challenging album unveils its curse and its beauty all together. The sound of eerie, sick and morbid vocals intertwines with the melodic quality of the guitarswork, sometimes uplifting sometimes almost sinister, releasing a certain degree of emotive contrast. Demons meet lifeforce.

With lyrics dwelving in anti-nomianism, left-hand-path philosophies and Japanese literature, this sense that haunts the whole album finds explanation.

For fans of: Lantlôs, An Autumn for Crippled Children, Falaise, Lascar, Blut Aus Nord.

Following the first volume 2022 EP, the new APRS album "Radio Nocturna Vol.2: Voces del pasado" helps you to tune into harmony, deliverance and your best emotional answer to fear, pain, disappointment and regret. Transformation stands where two opposites meet: interwining the rawness and charge of Atmospheric Post-Black Metal with uplifting harmonies, APRS grants you a tune in emotional intensity with redemption as only possible outcome.

After 4 years of silence, the Serbian legends of The Stone are back with their 10^th full length album «Kletva»! Just like its predecessor “Kosturnice” which got released during the corona pandemic in 2021, is their newest opus yet another venture into their unrelentless 90’s macabre black metal sound.

HEIMLAND has been presenting timeless pagan black metal since their start in 2016. Heimland means homeland or motherland in Norwegian. The band takes inspiration from the orginal second wave of True Norwegian Black Metal. Think about early Ulver, Enslaved, Gorgoroth, etc etc. Think about the sun´s last burning rays before it goes to sleep or shine upon another land. This is where you´ll find Heimland´s homeland in music.

This autumn they follow up the highly rated “Forfedrenes Taarer”, with the much anticipated “Der Torv Moeter Hav”. Still embracing the past, broken dreams, nature, worn swords and endless landscapes, they stand like a pillar against the future. Embracing the darkness of the past and blackening the promise of a new tomorrow. Heimland is a band who is not afraid of the past, are proud of their heritage but still always looking outwards.

Earlier this year they returned to northern shores from a successful raid in Europe with Taake and labelmates Asagraum . Together they made a lasting impression on the audience, and Heimland made quite a few new fans. Merchandise sold out after three shows and new merch needed to be ordered for the rest of the tour. The band plans to build on this soon with several concerts already lined up.

Welcome to Part II. This was a project dear to my heart. While our main musical outlet is still black metal, all of us are listening to a lot of different genres and I am always fascinated by the emotional impact other forms of music can have on my soul. This is an experiment. To walk outside of the known paths, to search for other means of expression and to look at our songs of “Knochengesänge” from a different angle. We tried to tear everything down to its basic core and to create something new and different from the ruins of these songs. Every tune on this record has its root in Part I, but at least for some of it the ruins were reformed into something completely different. The idea and the feeling at its core are still the same, but the result hopefully gives you a different perspective. We know this record is a challenge. To you, the listeners. But it also was a challenge for us.

Waldgeflüster: Atmospheric. Powerful. Matured.
With powerful riffs and a unique soundscape, paired with intense lyrics, Waldgeflüster has always created an unmistakable closeness to nature and emotion. Matured over the years and after four years of work, a new double album is now available: “Knochengesänge” and “Knochengesänge II”, which is dedicated to the carousel of thoughts on the subject of mortality and legacy. Born from the same DNA and fragments, the two parts take different paths in how they present themselves. Detail-loving and densely composed, Waldgeflüster captivates listeners musically and intellectually, offering the chance to experience the same pieces in different variants — deep, emotional, and powerful.

Forged in São Paulo in 2015, Outlaw was born as a savage roar from the innermost depths of rebellion. A flame long silenced by the fear of men. What began in the heart of Brazil soon transcended its birthplace, relocating to Dresden, Germany, where the band sharpened its craft into a weapon of uncompromising black metal.

Over the past decade, Outlaw has released three full-length albums and one EP, each step a deeper descent into their own path. Their music is steeped in darkness, yet illuminated by a relentless drive to transcend the mundane, channeling fury, devotion, and death into soundscapes that are as violent as they are cathartic.

With the upcoming album Opus Mortis, Outlaw opens a new chapter. It stands as their most ambitious and destructive work to date. An offering that embodies the essence of the band: raw, visionary, and unbound.
