Chelsea Wolfe returns with her ninth studio album, The Dark, offering a more organic sound that sits somewhere between dark folk, gothic rock, and alternative. Guitars, piano, and live drums blend with her most mature songwriting yet, paired with a voice that sounds more powerful and confident than ever.

Thematically, The Dark explores letting go, self-discovery, and the strength to face one's own darkness. Created in collaboration with producer Ben Chisholm and guest musicians including Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails), Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint), Matt Chamberlain, and Justin Meldal-Johnsen, the result is an atmospheric album that further develops Chelsea Wolfe's unmistakable sound — one that should appeal to longtime fans and new listeners alike.

Chelsea Wolfe enters a new era with her forthcoming album The Dark, shaped by a period of letting go, transformation, and confronting inner shadows. Written from a place of becoming “the darkest thing in the woods,” it moves through darkness rather than away from it, sharpening her blend of mysticism, memory, grief, and desire into something heavier, more immediate. Produced with Jennifer Decilveo (Hozier, Hinds, Bat for Lashes) and featuring collaborators from Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Tori Amos, and Air. Sharper and heavier than ever, The Dark is where beauty meets ruin.

XASTHUR founder Scott Conner, an astute chronicler of the dark side of the American dream, has come to terms with the idea that his work can confuse people and be misread. He just accepts that reality now. This notion is clearly expressed in the title of his new work "Open to Misinterpretation". This insight has also firmed his resolve to neither change his artistic direction nor to attempt making his music easier for people to access. Conner is just not interested in chasing what has worked for other people or fitting neatly into a genre. This does not mean that XASTHUR are standing still. "Open to Misinterpretation" represents a deeper and more developed version of what Conner already does. He keeps honing his expression and to find new sounds and moods for his ideas. As a result, his songwriting has become equally more detailed as well as harder to predict at the same time. The production has audibly been cleared up, even though Conner still aims for the recording process to feel live, organic, and real. "Open to Misinterpretation" probably feels more complete because these songs have already been performed live on stage due to XASTHUR's prior touring activities on both sides of the Atlantic. With "Open to Misinterpretation", the American delivers a more focused and more confident album that realises the evolution and expression of Scott Conner's sound to a point that makes it harder to misunderstand this artist's intentions. Well, and if anyone does, he has come to accept it as an integral part of XASTHUR's music.

“And a magic dwells in each beginning”

Enthralled by occultism and the magic of Black Metal SECRETS OF THE MOON was originally brought forth by bassist and singer Daevas after his departure from MARTYRIUM in Osnabrück in 1995. Thanks to a tremendous discography – amongst a multitude of releases most notably spanning seven full-length albums – and countless shows performed domestically and abroad, SECRETS OF THE MOON – within the ensuing 27 years until its termination in 2022 – would go on to put its name on the map as one of Germany’s most revered dark Metal bands.

Prior to unleashing their first album Stronghold of the Inviolables in 2001 the mischievous collective managed to produce a body of work comprising two demos – Unearthed Arcana and Vanitas – Promotape 98, the notorious and never officially published Moondance Madness tape and the cult Split 7” EP with LUNAR AURORA. Although less known than their albums, these dusty relics from the dark past are no less significant. Naturally way rawer and unpolished than the studio albums, what these recordings may lack in sophistication is all made up for by the mystical charm pervading their every second.

All of these raw diamonds from SECRETS OF THE MOON’s formative period with many obscure recordings especially unearthed for this compilation on top, Darkness Shall Rise Productions now have the great pleasure to reissue in the shape of this marvellous compilation.

A new in-depth interview with Lars “Devas” Plegge and Phil “sG” Jonas was done especially for this release and the booklets also includes many never seen before pictures of the groups glorious past.

Over 130 minutes of pure BLACK METAL MAGIK!

200 x classic black vinyl
