SISYPHEAN - Divergence
Pre order

SISYPHEAN
Divergence

Sisyphean from Vilnius, Lithuania is one the most exciting bands of the genre. So far, they have released two full-length albums – This new album entitled Divergence which will be out on all formats in April 2026, released by Norway´s Edged Circle Productions.

Perfect for the quietness of the winter forest, but also well suited for a walk through the city centre. Earphones on. A bleak drizzle of rain in the city or a hazy mist in the forest. No stars in the sky, or sun in the morning, just gloom and a sense of hopelessness. But there is always a way to retaliate. To stand up to the poison of lies, deceit and oppression. The feeling of the song is both solitude and anger. Still the solitude is by choice and not by force. Is there a plot for revenge in the making?

Sisyphean provides us with a inspiring creative outlet of their unique-sounding black metal. True to their musical legacy and their history, it´s also open to new inspirations. This makes it both fresh sounding and timeless.

Brilliantly written, this fierce black metal track is built on dense guitars and relentless grooves and is dark and confrontational, but melodic within it´s consistent chord progression. It´s both straight forward and complicated at the same time. The gives you the opportunity to lose yourself in the music without pushing unnecessary changes or be troubled by unneeded breaks. Everything has a function to back up to story.

'Masks of the Magi' Trilogy, opus II

THE OUTSIDER 

The dreams die and the firmament drowns. Amidst the ashes of a dead forest rises a solitary kingdom. These towers breathe the blackest of magic…

Old Sorcery is a dungeon synth / black metal project from Lahti, Finland, born in 2017 from the ever-creative mind of Juuso “Vrajitor” Peltola (Warmoon Lord, Argenthorns, Vrajitor’s Tenebrarium and many more), which is now in the middle of a trilogy of releases shared between labels Out Of Season and Avantgarde Music.

The Outsider is the second part of this fantasy concept, which here blends dungeon synth with the more atmospheric and escapist part of black metal.
Over 70 minutes long, The Outsider is a real journey through fabled lands and mysteries unknown.

KANONENFIEBER - Menschenmühle (Half/Half)
Pre order

KANONENFIEBER
Menschenmühle (Half/Half)

Gatefold cover - extended king size booklet 

Half orange half black

Kanonenfieber's debut Menschenmühle has been one of the self-produced highlights of early 2021. With its mature songwriting and uncommon thematic approach, the album is intended to commemorate the countless victims of World War I.

Men were thrown into a differing reality where only survival would count. Death, fear and hunger as a steady companion in the waist-deep trenches filled with mud. One order transferred people into cannon fodder in the human mill - World War I. The lyrical background of Menschenmühle is based on factual reports, letters and other documents from the surviving and deceased soldiers. The album was written, recorded and produced by Kanonenfieber from September 2020 to January 2021 in the Noisebringer studio

DRUDKH - Thaw (Silver Vinyl)
Pre order

DRUDKH
Thaw (Silver Vinyl)

Silver 12" vinyl (33rpm) in gatefold.
Limited to 250 copies worldwide.

Formed in Ukraine, DRUDKH have long shaped a body of work defined by atmosphere, patience, and inner exile. Their music consistently privileges emotional continuity over exposition, drawing strength from restraint and repetition.
‘Thaw’ stands as a direct continuation of the album ‘Shadow Play’, conceived during the same creative period and sharing its emotional and thematic foundation. Rather than expanding outward, the EP turns inward, presenting three compositions that function as a distilled appendix to the album’s world. ‘Thaw’ explores transition as instability, as a moment where movement begins while the surrounding landscape remains frozen. The songs unfold slowly, marked by suspended melodies, unresolved structures, and a heightened sense of stillness. Themes of memory, liminality, and fragile transformation are allowed to surface without emphasis or climax.
The EP’s reduced scope sharpens its focus, rewarding attentive listening and quiet immersion.

For fans of HATE FOREST, BURZUM, AGALLOCH.

Svartfråd

For its 30th year anniversary here comes the first proper LP reissue of Svartfråd, the legendary mini-album composed by Ildjarn and Nidhogg.

GREEN CARNATION - A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis (Marbled Vinyl)
Pre order

GREEN CARNATION
A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis (Marbled Vinyl)

Second album of the trilogy on yellow and red marbled 12" vinyl (33 rpm) in deluxe gatefold with Pantone silver print and deluxe double sided insert with Pantone silver print.
Limited to 250 copies worldwide!

Had GREEN CARNATION never returned from hiatus, the Norwegian bards would always be remembered for completing one of the most ambitious individual epics in metal’s historic archives. However, there was one tale — or three, to be exact — that eluded them for more than three decades. Now, after reaching crushing new highs during its opening chapter, they’re descending into deeper, darker and more personal depths with part II of ‘A Dark Poem’.
If ‘The Shores of Melancholia’ set sail from a familiar place of melancholy, then ‘Sanguis’ opens with GREEN CARNATION far out at sea, fighting to stay afloat against the storm that’s raging in their minds. Over the course of nine minutes, the album’s epic title track vows to forgive and forget familial wreckage, washing away the bloody stains of the past with impassioned cleans and a chorus that radiates conviction — only for a traumatic memory to come flooding back during its doomy coda. The newfound heaviness from the first part of ‘A Dark Poem’ continues to age like a fine wine, balancing sweet meaty riffs with an underlying bitterness. “I Am Time” demands immediate recognition with a guitar melody that winds like the winds of change. But part II reveals the band at their most raw with ballads that unfold with the grace of a wilted flower.
“The end justifies the means, you’ll see”, Kjetil Nordhus sings with an eerily quiet confidence. As its final tale seeps beneath the moonlight, ‘Sanguis’ leaves fans hanging in suspense over where this trilogy will end.

For fans of OPETH, PARADISE LOST, KATATONIA, PAIN OF SALVATION.
