OVATE
Ruin (White vinyl)

White vinyl limited to 300 copies

After years of silence and dedication, Ováte return from the abyss with their new offering Rúin, forged by Aindiachaí (Gorgoroth) on guitars/bass and Brodd (ex-Taake) on drums. Eight years have passed since the band’s self-titled debut, and Rúin now reopen the wound; deeper, colder, and more deliberate.
Rúin is here. Not to be understood, but to be endured, an arcane, insidiously pernicious incursion beyond the veil.
A defining hallmark of Ováte’s sound remains intact: once again, every track is a collaboration with a different guest vocalist, turning the album into a shifting procession of voices and maledictions. Each performance adds a new layer to the record’s blackened craft, while the core duo keeps the blade steady. Sharp riffs, ritualistic momentum, and a trance-like pull that feels both predatory and strangely ceremonial.
On Rúin, Ováte list an exceptional cast from the Norwegian and wider extreme metal underground: Spellgoth (Horna), H’grimmr (Helheim), Thomas S. Øvstedal (Cor Scorpii), Sanrabb (Gehenna), Ødemark (The Last Eon / The Third Attempt) and Hoest (Taake). The result is a record that moves with relentless intent, yet rich in atmosphere, with each track carrying its own curse.

LES CHANTS DE NIHIL - Graines
Pre order

LES CHANTS DE NIHIL
Graines

Les Chants de Nihil was formed in 2007, serving as a creative outlet for the inspirations of its composer, Jerry. Drawing energy from the surrounding landscapes, he naturally enlisted his longtime collaborator, Mist, to assist with recording. This collaboration led to the creation of the band's first cassette demos. By 2010, LCDN had evolved into a serious project, performing live with a full lineup. Their debut CD, *La Liberté Guidant le Fer*, was released. Jerry then developed a satirical, meta-political concept that gave rise to a new album, *Propagande Érogène*, in which each band member played a specific character. The band continued to tour across France. In 2015, they released a more personal album titled *Armor*—a collection of poems exploring themes of nostalgia, desire, solitude, and friendship—issued in a digipack format. Over the following years, the lineup underwent changes, eventually stabilizing in 2015 with Sistre on drums and in 2019 with ÖberKommander 666 on bass, while Mist returned to guitar. After four years of songwriting, Jerry announced the follow-up to *Propagande Érogène*. This new album would plunge unreservedly into the theatrical setting established a decade earlier, indulging in excess and surrealism. *Le Tyran et l'Esthète* was released via Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions on January 22, 2021. After promoting the album at around ten shows, LCDN performed on the iconic Temple stage at Hellfest in Clisson in 2022. The band's sixth album, titled *Graines*, was released via Les Acteurs de l'Ombre on November 6, 2026; it addresses themes of creation and ecology with the band's characteristic blend of fierce advocacy and introspection.

STORMRULER - Morning Nautical Twilight
Pre order

STORMRULER
Morning Nautical Twilight

Morning Nautical Twilight” is an epic journey through the ruins of a forgotten age spanning the course of many millennia, where ancient powers linger beneath Meridian waves and the scars of countless wars remain etched into the land itself. Cloaked in ancient magick, celestial mystery, and the looming weight of fate, it explores a realm haunted by lost knowledge, sacred relics, and the echoes of oaths sworn beneath an eternal twilight. Themes of triumph, betrayal, and the cyclical rise and fall of empires permeate through every passage creating an atmosphere both majestic and foreboding, where glory and tragedy clash like bloodied steel with reverence toward a world fading into legend.

At its core the album is a sonic battery blending the signature sounds one should be familiar with when thinking of classic melodic black metal. ‘Morning Nautical Twilight’ takes this musical style a few steps further, bringing elements of cinematic narrative storytelling with touches of power, prog, death and dungeon synth. There truly is something on this record for everyone, in true STORMRULER fashion.

NORDJEVEL - Damnous
Pre order

NORDJEVEL
Damnous

Black 12" vinyl (33rpm) in gatefold with 12-page insert.
First pressing 300 copies worldwide!

NORDJEVEL formed in Askim, Norway in 2015 around vocalist Doedsadmiral, drawing straight from Scandinavian black metal's established ranks. Three albums in, the addition of guitarist Destructhor (ex-Morbid Angel, Myrkskog, Zyklon) pushed the band from a melodic, folk-inflected debut toward a denser, death-informed attack.
'Damnous', the band's fourth full-length and first release for Season of Mist Underground Activists, carries Doedsadmiral's lyrics of war, death, anti-Christianity and Norse mythology across a set that moves between blistering black metal, death metal weight and slower, melodic passages sung in both Norwegian and English. Guitars, bass and guest vocals were tracked at Studio Nyhagen with engineer Kjartan Hesthagen, and the album was mixed and mastered at Studio Fredman by Fredrik Nordström, who also handled the band's previous album 'Gnavhòl'. Guest musicians round out the record's atmosphere without diluting its intent, appearing across select tracks including a closing cover.
'Damnous' reads as the most fully assembled statement in a catalogue built from the start on a close reading of Norwegian landscape and folklore.

For fans of MARDUK, 1349, WATAIN.

Pre order

HEILUNG
Sagas (Bone)

Bone white 12" vinyl (33 rpm) in deluxe gatefold printed on unfinished, heavy card stock with bone white foil and 12-page insert incl. lyrics and background information.
limited to 300 copies worldwide!

HEILUNG are known around the world for mending the spiritual gap between modern life and our historical roots. Over the past decade, the ritual collective have brought amplified history to major festivals, the Billboard charts and Hollywood films. Now, with 'Sagas', they fully immerse themselves in the realm of video games.
'Sagas' holds a special place in HEILUNG’s discography. It collects recordings that core members Maria Franz, Kai Uwe Faust and Christopher Juul created in collaboration with Ninja Theory for Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga. Taken together, these 11 tracks reveal a more cinematic and environmental side to their unmistakable sound. Performed live during The Game Awards, the entrancing “Seidh” invokes the Norse mythology that guides Senua on her quest through 9th century Iceland.
While it captures the epic journey of Hellblade II, 'Sagas' takes on a life of its own. Franz, Faust and Juul returned home from a 10-day trip across Iceland so inspired by the brute force of nature that they recorded more tracks than the ones that were included in the game. Awakened by rumbling drums and fiery chanting, the previously unheard “Slagt” prophesizes the coming apocalypse with the unstoppable force of a volcano. And yet, even when faced with the inevitable end of the world as we know it, HEILUNG’s music offers a space for healing. Lead single “Laeknisgaldr” remedies an affliction through the simple act of repetition, like water washing over stone.
With 'Sagas', HEILUNG return from the land of Hellblade with immersive new sounds.

For fans of WARDUNA, EIVØR, SOWULO, NYTT LAND.
Cover by Kai Uwe Faust & Layout by Christopher Juul, Maria Franz and Adrien Bousson.
