For over 25 years now, Sargeist - led by erstwhile HORNA guitarist / songwriter Shatraug, who's arguably the most prolific metal musician of that same period - have been at the forefront of the ever-fertile Finnish black metal scene. In fact, alongside HORNA, one could say that SARGEIST are the most influential band of that scene, which has gone on to influence countless other worldwide scenes in this millennium.

As has been the way since 2018's significant Unbound full-length, which saw the arrival of erstwhile Nightbringer / Demoncy guitarist VJS among others, Flame Within Flame also sees the arrival of more new members: longtime HORNA frontman Spellgoth on bass and prolific drummer Nur-i-siyah, who's played with Nawaharjan and Decapitated Christ among others. And while that "classic" SARGEIST lineup that included longstanding co-conspirators Torog and Horns (vocals and drums, respectively) certainly set an enviably high standard, Shatraug and crew continue undaunted, arguably more invigorated than ever. Indeed, Flame Within Flame is presciently titled, for the band's spirit is unextinguishable and unquenchable, seemingly infinite in inspiration whilst remaining characteristically - and DEADLY - focused. From the album's opening seconds, this is classic, burning-with-desperation SARGEIST, but immerse thyself in its icily shimmering waters ever so deeper and one will find that there's an almost-melancholic touch to Shatraug & VJS's riff-sorcery. What results is perhaps the band's most atmospheric record to date - credit, too, to the spacious-yet-immediate production - but one still pulsing with ragged, burning-black emotion: truly, the enduring hallmark of SARGEIST's eternal aesthetic. Of especial note is Shatraug resuming vocals, which he hasn't done since the band's early demo days. Return, once again, to misery and comfort with Flame Within Flame!

Dark green LP

Following the successful launch of the comprehensive reissue campaign for the precious musical legacy of Sweden's pioneering melodic death metal band Edge of Sanity, which began in 2024, the final titles of the fourth and final chapter are now set to be released in spring 2026.

Led by the band's vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and acclaimed metal producer Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia, Dissection, Bloodbath, Nightingale, etc.), Edge of Sanity's entire catalogue has been fully remastered and partly remixed by Swanö himself. It will finally be extensively available again in several attractive versions.

Cryptic, Edge of Sanity's 1997 death metal album featuring the then-new vocalist Robert Karlsson (Scar Symmetry, Pan.Thy.Monium, Facebreaker, Darkified), who replaced Dan Swanö, is finally available again as a remastered version on CD and LP.

"Cryptic (1997) marks the arrival of vocalist Roberth Karlsson (Scar Symmetry, Pan.Thy.Monium, Facebreaker, Darkified), who took over from Dan Swanö. This remastered edition of Cryptic is now available.

The 2CD set in an O-Card includes the 8 tracks from the original album on the first CD, along with 10 bonus tracks (covers, alternative mixes, and live recordings) on the second CD."

Batushka's 2019 Opus Returns: The Liturgy of Death Re-released!

Back on Black is proud to announce the comprehensive reissue of Hospodi (Church Slavonic for "Lord"), the second full-length album from the Polish black metal phenomenon, Batushka. Initially released in 2019, Hospodi represents a more polished, melodic, and theatrical evolution of the band's signature, ritualistic sound.

Based on the Eastern Orthodox "Liturgy of Death" and traditional funeral rites, the album is a thematic journey through death and judgment. This reissue brings back the ten-track masterpiece, which blends traditional black metal (tremolo riffs, ferocious blast beats) with haunting choirs, atmospheric ambient interludes, and profound Slavic chants.

Hospodi was lauded for its dramatic production, and this reissue shines a light on key tracks like the atmospheric opener "Wozglas," the rocking-yet-menacing "Wieczernia," and the powerful closer "Liturgiya".
