CD

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!

The Massive 5th album from The Forefather of USBM- Out of Print for years!

Judas Iscariot's massive fifth album “Heaven in Flames”, originally released in 1999 on Red Stream Records and Out of Print for years, is finally available again! The forefather of US Black Metal, mastermind Akhenaten defined a sound that is still being copied today. Conceptually based on Nietzschean philosophies and filled with Nihilism and contempt for christianity, Judas Iscariot heralded a grim Black Metal sound from American shores years ahead of its time.

Judas Iscariot's revered catalog includes the Highlights “The Cold Earth Slept Below...” (1996), “Thy Dying Light” (1996), “Arise, My Lord…” 7” EP (1996), “Of Great Eternity” (1997), “Distant in Solitary Night” (1999), “Heaven in Flames” (1999/2023), “Dethroned, Conquered and Forgotten” MCD (2000/2023) “To Embrace the Corpses Bleeding” (2002/2023), “Moonlight Butchery” MCD (2002), in addition to multiple limited edition 7”Eps and split releases and the much sought after, coveted live album “Under the Black Sun” (2000), all of which solidified the band as America’s #1 Black Metal act to this day.

A milestone album for US Black Metal and a major influence on scene luminaries such as Xasthur, I Shalt Become, Leviathan and Krieg to name but a few. Bow to the master!

“Et Hav av Avstand" is the 8th full-length studio album from the legendary Norwegian Black Metal band Taake.

It consists of four songs clocking in at 42 minutes, displaying some of the finest songwriting yet from this epic one-man band.

Fierce, but melancholy. Vigorously old-school but also progressive. retaining that unfiltered sense of unique rawness that is synonymous with Hoest’s charismatic sound and musical identity.

Taake still manages to stay relevant and at the forefront of the genre and Hoest, who plays every instrument on the album, has ensured that the album is imbued with the unique Taake sound whilst at the same time developing it further.

This is unmistakably Taake, and as always, an intense work that surprises and enthrals.

Northern Heritage is proud to present new press of the Numinous self titled debut full length CD. Previously sold out album was remastered by Numinous in 2019. Added clarity, strength and force makes obvious there are exceptional qualities in the album. Now that especially guitar sound is clearer it underlines musical qualities that are present. Riffs, melodies and song structures of this mighty opus surpass basically any contemporary Finnish Black Metal efforts by far. Same could be said about international situation. It is light years ahead of many currently popular "atmospheric", "raw", "post-" black metal releases that gather attention of wider public.

Firmly devoted to Divine Evil, fanaticism of Numinous sets them apart from bands with generic solutions. As their lyrics, also music radiates the very essence. It is timeless.

This work, both musically and lyrically, is completely imbued by the Divine Evil, our living God and Lord. Very rarely is His presence in music so strong and pure as it is here. Hear His voice, read His words and let it change your life. May this opus serve as a stimulant for entering the path of His Laws and may it strengthen and increase the fanaticism of those already walking it. Numinous know previously from demo 2003 released on tape by Northern Heritage.
