It’s about time to reveal all the faces of the night! Moonlight Sorcery will release their first full-length album entitled Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle on September 29th. Expect nothing but an ice cold blizzard that will conquer your castles, crumble your towers and withhold the daylight forever!

Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle is a perfect combination of the atmosphere from Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity and the rawness of Nightwind: The Conqueror from the Stars, the band’s two EPs released in 2022 and early 2023.

Moonlight Sorcery wants to raise the bar, and these new nine songs have even more melodic hooks and shreddy guitar work. Frozen synth walls further develop the Finnish trio’s unique sound, a vibe you cannot find in any other black metal record.

Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle follows a specific narrative, and its nine compositions tell a single tale, with every song starting where the previous one left off. “Basically, our debut could be a single 44-minute song”, the band said. Yet, the pleasure of learning such a tale is yours. Prepare, wanderer, to meet the Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle!

Mixed and mastered at Unisound by legendary producer and musician Dan Swanö

Tenebrarium is a new, obscure and esoteric project by Vrajitor, mastermind behind various other musical ventures such as Warmoon Lord and Argenthorns.

The idea for Tenebrarium was planted years ago, but the debut album, mystically titled E.N.L.D. was composed, recorded and mixed in the Winter of 2022-2023. 

Being a lifelong fan of horror and exploitation film music (most particularly Italian) Vrajitor completed the album with the help of various cryptic collaborators. 

Musically inspired by artists and composers like Goblin, Jacula, Devil Doll, Fabio Frizzi, Bruno Nicolai, and Riz Ortolani the lyrics are bizarre stories of black magic and witchcraft. File under occult prog, dungeon funk, and giallo italiano.

CD in Jewel case with 12 page deluxe booklet.

Notorious black metal apostates PROFANATICA emerge from their den of iniquity with the new full-length 'Crux Simplex'.
Their latest salvo of sin and sacrilege, this ten-track offensive is a nasty affront that bastardizes the first 10 stations of the cross.
Led by infamous master of black perversion Paul Ledney, the band deal in bestial, first-wave black metal barbarity, and 'Crux Simplex' unveils ungodly levels of bile and blasphemy.

For fans of (early) MAYHEM, POSSESSED, INCANTATION, HELLHAMMER, BLASPHEMY.

The re-release of a startling album

Vemod from Trondheim/Norway are one of the most promising and visionary bands of the vibrant, eclectic contemporary metal underground and have already made quite an impact in well-informed circles. Combining such diverse influences as Ulver, Dead Can Dance, Brian Eno and Paysage d'Hiver, the three musicians pursue a unique musical and aesthetical approach, thus reaching a distinct expression and atmosphere at an early stage of their career.
Vemod's first full length album "Venter På Stormene" (English: "waiting for the storms") was originally released in 2012 and is now reissued by Prophecy on a larger scale. Separated into the two parts "Over jord, vandrende" ("throughout the earth, wandering") and "Over himmel, flammende" ("throughout the heavens, flaming"), the album is conceived as a twofold manifestation of inner movements and a rising star, a contemplation upon the yet-again-sacred. The marriage of dark ethereal metal and atmospheric ambient soundscapes celebrates and cultivates the Vemodian essence within the realms of deep feeling: the result after years of slow but steady maturation and a bridge towards the future. Beyond sun and moon, we are born anew.

Sacrilege are an utterly essential act in UK metal history guiding the listener from the crusty realms to the mountains of doom!

This release features all four of the band's demos recorded between 1984 and 1986.

The early demos lean much more towards the UK hardcore punk sounds of the day (Discharge, Icons of Filth, Antisect and of course Varukers and Warwound with whom they shared members).

The later demos show the metal influence coming in stronger. Essential listening for crust punks everywhere!

WEREWOLF RECORDS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Finland's BLOOD CHALICE, The Blasphemous Psalms of Cannibalism,

Formed in 2015, BLOOD CHALICE feature among their ranks a number of Finnish metal veterans, spanning a slew of extreme styles. However, in BLOOD CHALICE, the goal has always remained firm: uncompromising, closeminded BLACK/DEATH savagery. The first strike as such came in 2016 with a self-titled demo, followed the next year by the gutsfucking debut album Sepulchral Chants of Self-Destruction. Diehards hailed the album; the rest recoiled in horror. Typical "Finnish black metal" this was not...
