Back in 2021, Blodtår announced themselves with a self-titled EP steeped in black metal mysticism. The following full-length, “Det förtegna förflutna” (2023), revealed a project capable of refined structure and melodic discipline without sacrificing intensity. Now, on their third release, the Stockholm-based duo ventures deeper still.
Where earlier works balanced woodland atmosphere with icy composure, “Monark” is driven by something more volatile. Conceived in the aftermath of a personal tragedy, the album took shape with uncompromising urgency. The opening track, “Blodtår”, emerged directly from that moment, setting the tone for a work which moves through overwhelming spiritual pain toward a fragile yet undeniable light.
Musically, the folk-infused melodic language remains central – particularly across the first half – but now intertwines with passages evoking older, more archaic currents reminiscent of early Enslaved and Falkenbach. Norse-tinged motifs surface alongside the band’s established Scandinavian melancholy, while the latter half explores tonal shifts that feel brighter, though never unscarred. Beginning in darkness and concluding in illumination, “Monark” traces recurring cycles of mental collapse and resurgence with unflinching honesty.

Hailing from western Norway and Sweden, MØRKGRIM is a Norwegian/Swedish Folk-Black Metal entity devoted to occult heathen Norse traditions and the darker currents of the old ways. The debut, a concept album, is entitled "Sogur frá Norðfirði" (means "Tales from Nordfjord").
MØRKGRIM was founded in 1994 by Hrafngrímnir as a one-man Black Metal project during the golden years of the genre. Several songs were written in the early days, but never recorded, as Hrafngrímnir was active in other Black Metal bands at the time.
By 1999, he began to leave the Black Metal scene behind, feeling that the genre was losing its true soul and becoming something detached from its original spirit. He moved into other forms of music, still the old darkness never left him.
Decades later, Hrafngrímnir decided to awaken MØRKGRIM, but only if it could be done with the right spirit. He moved to a remote farm, far from modern comfort, where he still lives without ordinary modern utilities such as a flushing toilet or municipal water. There, surrounded by raw nature, silence and isolation, the first MØRKGRIM album was written and recorded. It is a tribute to raw nature, the old gods, ancient Norse magick, and the Old Ways, not as image, but as a way of life.
In 2023, Nils “Dominator” Fjellström joined MØRKGRIM. Known for his work with Dark Funeral, Aeon, In Battle, The Wretched End, Myrkskog and Nordjevel, his drumming brought a new level of violence and precision to the project.
Forged in isolation and rooted in the spirit of the early 90s, MØRKGRIM is Black Metal returned to its source with a blend of raw oldschool aggression and immersive acoustic folk/norse elements.

Limited edition transp. orange-black marbled vinyl & LP booklet
Heretics of the Black Metal genre and the Kings of USBM, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM have returned with sharpened teeth. Their new album “Estuary” carries the hallmark of their unyielding dedication to the physical craft and analog production techniques, executed with zero cut corners. After more than twenty years, the pioneers of Cascadian Black Metal have neither withered, rested, nor resorted to recycling past glories. They continue to rise with unparalleled strength, and “Estuary” is their most ferocious and genre-bending record to date.
WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM embody nature as active participants of the current, bypassing the confines of a musical landscape which trends towards homogenization. Massive percussion and seething gothic guitars wipe the listener’s psyche clear of all stagnation, transforming it into a conduit for evolution and renewal. Rich with alchemical and archetypal imagery, the record operates like eagles and wolves descending upon desolation and entropy, activating the dormant domain with magic and the lethal essence of virility.
The bulk of the album was produced and recorded at the band’s own Owl Lodge studio in Olympia, Washington, with drums tracked by Nicholas Wilbur at The Unknown (a converted former church in Anacortes, Washington).
