Prosanctus Inferi’s 2nd full length album births forth 8 new beasts of pulsating and nightmarish black death metal. Tremendously violent and heavy with complex yet catchy arrangements, these new phantoms of madrigal evil race foward at break neck pace. Blazing a trail of blood that is both new and fresh, yet a harkening howl to the classic moons of old – ‘Noctambulous Jaws Within Sempiternal Night’ delivers a new puncture to the throats of the host. Featuring stunning artwork by Italian artist Paolo ‘The Madman’ Girardi and layout by Tillman Benninghaus this installment raises the bar of Prosanctus Inferi’s craft in every way.

Stefano Gentile and Dirk Serries met almost thirty years ago when Stefano’s Amplexus label released Vidna Obmana’s seminal classic "The Transcending Quest" on a limited 3” CD. Fast forward twenty years later, after the ending of Dirk Serries’ critically acclaimed Vidna Obmana project, Stefano and Dirk, under his own name, regathered with another gem "The Devastation Chant", a limited 8” lathe cut and a 10” vinyl on Gentile’s new label Silentes/13 that featured Stefano’s own impressive collage artwork. Now again, after four years, Dirk Serries, fully operational under his own name as a free (jazz) improviser, frequently returns to his trademark ambient music while continuing to push himself as an artist and sound sculptor. THE DISINTEGRATION OF SILENCE is Dirk’s new album that, partially inspired by the melancholic collage artwork of Stefano Gentile, plays with the sounds he has been recognized and appreciated worlwide for almost four decades, while - so typical for Dirk’s ongoing knack for adventure - expanding the comfort of his ambience with alienating analog and real-time treatments. An album that has been performed solely on electric guitar in conjunction with plenty of pedal effects and absolutely no computers. Enjoy this breathtaking work of melancholy and introspection, marking it another milestone in the collaboration between Stefano Gentile and Dirk Serries

With their seventh studio album "Otra", Norwegian avant-garde metal stalwards IN THE WOODS... might surprise their listeners – and particularly those, who have not followed the remarkable evolution that the band from the southern Norwegian city of Kristiansand has undergone since the early nineties. The tracks of "Otra" are surprisingly captivating with melodic tunes dominating the present sound of IN THE WOODS... – although progressive elements and the occasional rough reminder of the Norwegians' harsh past are also regularly shimmering through the fabric of these songs. What sets "Otra" apart from the average heavy work of music is the excellence of composition that shows expert level experience and comes with a seeming ease that makes the achievement even greater. Lyrically, "Otra" revolves around stories connected to the eponymous river that winds for 245 kilometres through the South of Norway and spills into the Skagerrak, the strait that separates the country from Denmark and Sweden, at the band's home in Kristiansand. There is hardly a need to introduce the name IN THE WOODS... to any adherent of avant-garde and black metal. Their coordinates within the scene are also well known: The Norwegians were among the bands that have participated in the burgeoning evolution of black metal in the early nineties and have had a large part in the shaping of the sound of a strong subgenre. Their first full-length "Heart of the Ages" (1995) has a lasting impact on black metal and is rightfully regarded as one of the genre's early classics. Refusing to rest on their laurels, IN THE WOODS... progressed further into different musical dimensions with "Omnio" (1997) and "Strange in Stereo" (1999). Following a long hiatus between the years 2000 to 2014, the Norwegians returned with vocalist James Fogarty, who continued to front the band until December 2021. With a new line-up and singer Bernt Fjellestad completing IN THE WOODS... a fresh direction was taken with the album "Diversum" (2021). With "Otra", IN THE WOODS... demonstrate the full strength and artistic maturity of the Norwegians' third incarnation. Enticing and highly pleasurable to listen to, this exciting record is nonetheless crammed with glorious details and surprising twists that reveal themselves only after many spins.

Following on from last year’s bleak and disconsolate Wounds single, Finland’s purveyors of
‘Anti-Life Black Metal Misery’, Grave With A View, have returned with their most powerful and
harrowing release to date – Raw Illumination. A full length album steeped in isolation, violence, self
destruction and death, Raw Illumination is not an album for the faint of heart or the fragile of spirit.
Recorded and mixed by O.H.R and mastered by Haldor Grunberg at Satanic Audio (Behemoth,
Dopelord, Christ Agony etc), Raw Illumination is the sonic distillation of caustic chaos and grim,
unmitigated despair – every malicious note cutting straight to the bone – and its aura of desperate
degradation has been perfectly captured in the cover imagery; the artwork and layout by Danny The
Destroyer, utilising powerful, unsettling images of model Anna Iivana Julma, captured by the band.
When it crawls from the crypts of label Dusktone on November 29th, Raw Illumination will hunt down
the broken and the flawed, the outcasts and the lepers and swallow them into its maw of ice and
pain.

Wolvencrown’s take on black metal is based on long, keyboard-layered structures, with songs seldom clocking in at less than eight or nine minutes. The solemnity of keyboards, though, is balanced by the fury and rage of guitar riffs and fast drumming, making Celestial Lands a varied and diverse effort. Different from the atmospheric black metal you often hear coming from the Pacific Northwest, Wolvencrown melodies have deep roots in the European tradition, while their lyrics deal with nature, its spirits and the damage Man has caused.
