With a total of four tracks and a runtime of 27 minutes, Exxekratus continues to showcase the noticeable maturity that was already evident on the band's last full-length album, Death Leading: dark, powerful, sonically clearer, but all the grittier in its content.

KRE^U is not just music. KRE^U is the pursuance of the identity, culture and history of Sardinia, its ancestors and their heritage. KRE^U crafts into music the events and hard lives of an ancient lineage who faced the violent nature of Barbagia (Sardinia).

KRE^U greets all the outlaws and bandits who fought, withstanded and died for their individuality and independence during the Savoy period (1720-1861): this is for you. We are your heirs.

KRE^U Black-Dark Metal old school style is epic, aggressive and rich of pathos, with plenty of rebellous and martial suggestions. A Tenores chants and lyrics strictly in ancient Sardinian language enriches the whole sound, creating unique phonetics expressively angry, evocative and polytonal, The spirit of the mighty bandits of Sardinia animate KRE^U sound and music: welcome their defiant return.

Bone maniacs UNHOLY IMPURITY style is sinister and ritualistic, reminiscent of the one of first-era Mayhem and Watain, as well as of Marduk and Celestial Bloodshed. There is a certain authenticity, easely perceptible, which directs the conjured sensations towards the very essence of Black Metal, in its dark and ominous spirit. "Oculus Mortis" is old school, raw and straight to the point. The past is alive!
 

LIH need no introductions: they have proven to be always ahead of their time, and have done so time and time again since the initial inception in 2001, still being one of the best avantgarde black metal band within Italian scene.
Expect everything we have all come to love about LIH: incredibly inventive Black Metal with a unique vision and an unmatched delivery, a penchant for sophistication and experimentalism in its truest form, slaying and cold guitar riffs, outstanding lyrics, impeccable drumming and their signature fretless bass
The LIH formula blends the solemnity and exaltation of late Spite Extreme Wings with the technical complexity and dynamism of acts such as Ved Bues Ende and Deathspell Omega.
 

Originally released by Defiled Records in 1998, "Evanescent, Everfading" was the debut album of Finland based act Fall Of The Leafe. During the first years since their inception in 1996, FotL found their own way of playing black/death metal with folk influences based on guitarist Jussi Hänninen harmonies and Jani Lindström vocals.

The band entered legendary Tico-Tico studios in 1997 to record their first full length and from the Maidenesque opener "The Celestial Keeper" to the closing "Evanescent, Everfading", FotL delivers a 40 minutes unique masterclass of melodic death metal with black feels to take the listener on a journey to enjoy the sweet taste of 90s. Did you say Amorphis or Insomnium? It would be fair saying Fotl set the stage for them.

"Màrtirs" is a profound, heartfelt homage to the peoples oppressed by war, Western exploitation, and the universal human barbarism.
