KRE^U is not just music. KRE^U is the pursuance of the identity, culture and history of Sardinia, its ancestors and their heritage. KRE^U crafts into music the events and hard lives of an ancient lineage who faced the violent nature of Barbagia (Sardinia).

KRE^U greets all the outlaws and bandits who fought, withstanded and died for their individuality and independence during the Savoy period (1720-1861): this is for you. We are your heirs.

KRE^U Black-Dark Metal old school style is epic, aggressive and rich of pathos, with plenty of rebellous and martial suggestions. A Tenores chants and lyrics strictly in ancient Sardinian language enriches the whole sound, creating unique phonetics expressively angry, evocative and polytonal, The spirit of the mighty bandits of Sardinia animate KRE^U sound and music: welcome their defiant return.

Bone maniacs UNHOLY IMPURITY style is sinister and ritualistic, reminiscent of the one of first-era Mayhem and Watain, as well as of Marduk and Celestial Bloodshed. There is a certain authenticity, easely perceptible, which directs the conjured sensations towards the very essence of Black Metal, in its dark and ominous spirit. "Oculus Mortis" is old school, raw and straight to the point. The past is alive!
 

Sardinian Native Black Metal veterans VULTUR are finally able to reveal their new opus to the world: "Cultores de Perdas e Linna" has been recorded in 2023 but didn't see light until now, in 2025. The album, whose title means "stone and woods worshippers" (which is how christians derogatery defined the ancient Nuragic population), features eight songs with lyrics in Sardinian language except for "Nemini Parco", sung in Italian and Latin.

VULTUR style is aggressive, unmerciful and fast-paced, showcasing intriguing riffs and a certain degree of dark violence. Fans of old Satyricon, Marduk, Mayhem and Immortal will find themselves pleased, as well as for the lovers of Dissection's melodic bridges, old Rotting Christ's evocativness and Mortuary Drape's rhythmic dynamism and heavyness.
 

In 2004, inspired by the legend of the "Homo Salvadego" - literally "savage man"; a dialectal name referring to a northern italian alpine legend talking about a half-human, half-animal hybrid - the Italian Black Metal act Homselvareg emerged in northern Italy, between mountains, lakes and forests.

Homselvareg's music is vector of contempt, hatred and venom for the path that humanity choose to take, far away from the spirit and the laws of nature. Musically speaking, the Black Metal of Homselvareg is constallated of excellent melodic-oriented riffs, rhythmically fast and structured upon certain dynamic choices, resulting particularly enjoyable for fans of Spite Extreme Wings, Taake and Dissection.

This limited edition comes in black polycarbonate CD, 4-panel digipack w/ a 16-page booklet and an exclusive slipcase printed with silver lamination.

After delivering the triumphant 2023 affirmation that they are "…still fucking I.C.E.!" via 20-year-awaited second album "Ancient Glacial Resurgence", the inimitable battalion strikes immediately again with another shattering full-length of mystical Black Metal savagery.

The third revelation from IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT is the latest apocalyptic statement from a legion once seemingly cryogenically frozen in time - advancing their legacy in a hostile whirlwind of compulsive new paeans to the ancient anti-God Råvaskieth.

Nietzsche's Zarathustra created the mountain beneath him where he could only teach himself. He went down among the people in this infinite joy. But still he returned and plunged into the Gogolian depths of desperation. He left his work to the world, just as Gogol let the dead souls be lost among the flames. Joy and loneliness were both present on the mountain, where Zarathustra finally found nothing but himself.
