Remastered double CD in jewel case with 8-pages folded booklet

UK doom cult ESOTERIC quickly gained a following after they formed in 1992. The band invented a new musical formula that consists of psychedelic elements mixed with classical doom death metal, a path that no other band in the genre dared to walk before. ESOTERIC's sixth record ‘Paragon of Dissonance’ is another crushing monument in the band's celebrated discography. This new 2-CD edition is fully remastered by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios (FEN, WODENSTHRONE, MOURNING BELOVETH). Get ready for a sonic ride through the heart of Doom!

For fans of EVOKEN, THERGOTHON, MOURNFUL CONGREGATION

Emerging from the shadows where it was forged, this work marks a new passage in our journey through the ever-shifting borderlands of light and darkness. Recorded and shaped between the cold months of 2024 and 2025, “Tamsošviesa / Chiaroscuro” stands as a culmination of years of devotion, reflection, and sound sculpting. It is both a continuation and a turning point – a chapter where our path through the twilight sharpens into clear focus.

For two decades, LUCTUS has walked the narrow line between shadow and light, guided by the pulse of this strange world and those who have listened along the way. With “Tamsošviesa / Chiaroscuro”, we now place another stone upon that path – deliberate, unhurried, unwavering.

CD: Jewel case CD with 16 pages booklet.

Void of Hope is a Finnish black metal trio born during a recording session. The whole album was composed and recorded in five days in the studio with -30°, -35° outside and in complete darkness for most of the day. Screams took place later and were recorded in 2 days.

Void of Hope includes members from Moonlight Sorcery and Ondfødt and consider themselves influenced by bands like Gris, Silencer, Lifelover, Coldworld and Austere.

Void of Hope can be a place or a state of mind, and their debut album Proof Of Existence is a journey through mental health and depression, the outcome of which may be triumph or giving up. Proof Of Existence started as depressive black metal but grew into much more.

Void of Hope is not an anonymous band, yet they do not consider their identities relevant, as regardless of what names are printed in the album, the music is all that matters.

The horrors of reality are the proof of your existence, and they will be brought to you via Avantgarde Music on January 31st, 2025.

With 12 studio albums, a dozen EPs, singles and split releases, as well as more than 1.250 shows under their belts so far, it is high time ROTTING CHRIST get a proper compilation spanning their 30+ years career. The 2-CD set 'Their Greatest Spells' takes a retrospective look at the cult Greek band's fascinating musical development by picking a select choice of key tracks covering the many facets of ROTTING CHRIST. With such a massive catalogue, a "best of" compilation will always lead to controversy about certain additions as well as omissions from the final list, but the involvement of frontman Sakis Tolis himself in this difficult task ensures that the result is at least relevant.

Describing his ideas behind "F(OUR) WARD", EdleyODowd notices that the combination of sound and visuals were “essential to delivering a message”- points out Edley talking about his foray into new territory.
“I wanted to create something of nightmares and bliss” explains EdleyODowd when asked to discuss the combination of visuals and sound presented on his latest solo release "F(OUR) WARD".

ODowd, a long-time veteran of various musical scenes, has collaborated and performed with many musical luminaries (Genesis P-Orridge, Deborah Harry, LeneLovich, Tony Conrad, Shilpa Ray), as well as being a member of Toilet Boys, Psychic TV, Kylesa and his brand-new death rock band Scorpion Tea.

Initially released as an ultra-limited cassette release via Flesh Prison/DeathBed Tapes, "F(OUR) WARD" is coming out in the rest of the world via 13, as an extended version featuring three bonus tracks and expanded artwork by ODowd. “I am proud to present what I consider to be the complete version of this art and music”, stresses Edley, talking about the unity of two inseparable components of his creativity. “The video clips that accompany these songs are designed to be trance-induced launchpads for the audio and vice-versa” – admits ODowd: “A world within our own, in which we can see and hear new and exciting things”. The videos accompanying the release of "F(OUR) WARD" were shot on various locations in Mexico and Colombia, ODowd’s goal was to present a visual environment one could listen to the music within.
