The Long-Awaited 4th Chapter of Despair from Finland’s DSBM Masters MORTUALIA!!!

Emerging once again from the endless darkness of Finland, MORTUALIA returns with its haunting fourth full-length album, “Cold in the Earth.” Spearheaded by the enigmatic Shatraug, the revered mastermind behind Horna and Sargeist, MORTUALIA continues its descent into the abyss with a work steeped in sorrow, isolation, and hypnotic melancholy. Following the acclaimed “Wild, Wild Misery,” this newest offering further refines the band’s signature fusion of depressive black metal and mournful doom into a cold, emotionally devastating experience.

Across seven desolate hymns, including the crushing title track “Cold in the Earth,” the somber passages of “Remembrance I & II,” and the bleakly mesmerizing “Winter’s Due,” MORTUALIA conjures an atmosphere of hopelessness and spiritual ruin unlike few others in the genre. Shatraug’s masterful songwriting once again balances raw black metal aggression with slow-burning funeral dirges, weaving memorable melodies and sorrow-drenched hooks into every shadowed corner of the album.

Dark, introspective, and utterly consuming, “Cold in the Earth” stands as another towering achievement in MORTUALIA’s discography - a bleak monument to misery forged by one of black metal’s most distinctive and enduring creative forces.

"You're Weak And You Know You're Weak" is the seventh album from WEREWOLVES in seven years.

The band themselves have sworn to release ten albums in ten years, or commit group suicide if they fail.

Ridiculously brutal moronic caveman death metal from members of PSYCROPTIC, THE BERZERKER, ABRAMELIN, THE ANTICHRIST IMPERIUM, and THE AMENTA.

For fans of MARDUK, MARDUK, fucking MARDUK, and getting your teeth kicked right the fuck in.

Artwork regular Mitchell Nolte is back with a terrifyingly trademark cover featuring crucifixions, baby kebabs, and a werewolf army.

Mixed and Mastered in Hobart by Joe Haley (PSYCROPTIC) who has lost so much IQ from being forced to sit through WEREWOLVES mixing sessions that he has lost the power of speech.

Seasoned death metal performers who have done laps of Australia with ARCHSPIRE, MAYHEM, ABBATH, INGESTED, and ULCERATE bringing zero appeal to a wide range of audiences who all equally loathed the dirty blastbeats crammed down their worthless throats. They all purchased merchandise and albums instantly.

“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!

2CD jewel-case CD with 32-page booklet.

SAOR is Andy Marshall's one-man vehicle for what he calls Caledonian Metal: an atmospheric black metal sound built from Highland landscapes and Scottish ancestral memory. Since founding the project in Glasgow in 2013, Marshall has grown SAOR from a cult curiosity into one of the genre's most distinctive voices.
‘Caledonia’ gathers five songs first heard on ‘Roots’, ‘Aura’ and ‘Guardians’ and rebuilds them from the ground up, produced by Chris Fielding. This isn't a remaster or a victory lap. Marshall wrote these songs before he had the resources or the mileage to realise them fully, and over a decade of touring has reshaped how they live and breathe on stage. The album opens with "Aura MMXXVI", a hushed procession through forests and corries that sets the record's terms early: patience, scale, and a reverence for landscape that never tips into pastiche. "The Awakening MMXXVI" answers with something more urgent, a call to old ways and older gods dressed in Marshall's most direct lyric writing on the record, the kind of song built to be shouted back at a festival crowd. "Carved in Stone MMXXVI", the album's centrepiece and lead single, carries the clearest sense of destiny and prophecy in the track list, its widescreen production giving the song's ancestral imagery real physical weight. "Hearth MMXXVI" turns inward, trading myth for something closer to memory, a meditation on home and belonging that grounds the record before its close. "Tears of a Nation MMXXVI" ends the album on its most elegiac note, mourning loss and ruin in a way that feels earned rather than performed, closing the circle the record opened with.
Guest contributions from strings, whistle, pipes and additional vocals widen the textures throughout without diluting the atmosphere, and the sequencing across all five songs traces a clear arc from landscape to legend to loss.

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).

Bloedmaan, returns with its third studio album “Circle of the Moon”, barely 1 year after the second full length album «Vampyric War in Blood» and 3 years since the debut album “Castle Inside the Eclipse. Like its predecessors the ingredient to Bloedmaan’s music varies very little from the main course, so those who are familiar with the previous records already know what to expect.

Rönarg’s signature guitar sound filled with the illustrious melodies never wavers to fail to draw the complete attention of the audience, Once again, one can drift away into the world of vampirism and linger on a journey leaded by the splendid guitar work accompanied by blasting drums and sharp bass elements which are entangled in a raw, yet clear production.

Just like on the previous record, there’s also room for a little bit of experimental addition, such as the ghost like ballad which’s magic really comes to life due to the haunting clean vocals. Furthermore Rönarg delivers again a disgusting form of shrieking vocals throughout the entire album that praises the sound of the dead.

Each song stands as a milestone on this record and yes, Bloedmaan has done it again! Another masterpiece of a record has been added to its fast growing discography! Every old school black metal fan, yet, fans of melodic black metal or even symphonic black metal (old emperor fans) will most likely enjoy this record from start til finish. Vampyric Melodic Black Metal at its finest!
