GREEN CARNATION - A Dark Poem Part I: The Shores of Melancholia
Pre order

GREEN CARNATION
A Dark Poem Part I: The Shores of Melancholia

First album of the trilogy on CD in deluxe Digipak with Pantone gold print with 16-page booklet.
The first pressing comes in rigid slipcase to hold the trilogy.

No matter what stylistic path they take, GREEN CARNATION have never shied away from grand, gloomy statements.
Founded in the early ‘90s by former Emperor bassist Tchort, the Norwegian act quickly amassed a cult following thanks to one of the most ambitious epics in metal history. Even before going on hiatus during the mid-2000s, the ever-evolving auteurs still flashed a flare for the dramatic by performing their acoustic verses underneath a mountain dam. However, there was one tale — or three, to be exact — that continued to elude them. Until now. With the ‘A Dark Poem’ trilogy starting now, GREEN CARNATION finally unveil their masterpiece.
The idea for an album trilogy stems from GREEN CARNATION’s earliest yesteryears, but the first part of ‘A Dark Poem’ cites various passages from across their illustrious cannon. Lead single “In Your Paradise” reaches newfound peaks of heaviness, swept out to sea by sublime riffs and somber symphonic flourishes. While navigated with the band’s familiar mastery, the view from ‘The Shores of Melancholia’ is far from heavenly. Judgement day appears around every corner, steering them from the title track’s scarlet clouds of war toward Floydian whirlpools drenched in paranoia before being shipwrecked by second wave black metal.
“A lesson learned, now bridges burn”, bearded captain Kjetil Nordhus cries out with impassioned cleans, as if tied to the mast during the album’s fiery send-off.
On ‘A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia’, GREEN CARNATION set sail on an epic journey into a dark night of the soul.

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

DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT - Innern
Pre order

DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT
Innern

CD in deluxe Digipak with die-cut permitting to choose between 2 different covers and 8-page booklet.

Since forming in 2009, DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT has carved out a singular place in modern black metal, blending relentless intensity with a philosophical core. Rooted in the genre’s foundations yet constantly evolving, the German quartet is known for its emotional depth, compositional complexity, and striking live presence.
On sixth album ‘Innern’, the band turns inward with devastating clarity. Each track offers a meditation on human fragility and existential transformation, shifting between blistering aggression and haunting serenity. “Marter” explores shared suffering as a path to transcendence, “Eos” imagines nature reclaiming a blood-soaked earth, and “Forlorn” becomes an intimate plea for emotional refuge, sung in English to underscore its universality. The interplay between soaring guitars, pulsing bass, and intricate percussion frames Nikita Kamprad’s visceral vocal performance with precision and raw urgency.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Kamprad himself, the album captures both immediacy and atmosphere, placing the listener in direct confrontation with the void.

DANHEIM - Heimferd
Pre order

DANHEIM
Heimferd

DANHEIM is the work of Copenhagen-based musician and producer Reidar Schæfer Olsen, a leading voice in Nordic folk and Viking-inspired music. With over 1 billion streams and music featured in the Vikings TV series, DANHEIM has become a cornerstone of the genre.
‘Heimferd’ is a journey guided by instinct and atmosphere rather than a fixed mythological storyline. The album drifts between pounding percussive force and hushed minimalism, creating a soundscape that feels ancient yet alive. Each track evokes a return to something older and deeper: a cultural current running beneath memory, a call that is both familiar and distant. From the storm-driven rhythms of “Stormdans” to the haunting expanse of “Yggdrasil II”, DANHEIM balances intensity with restraint, weaving a sonic ritual that resonates with timeless Nordic heritage.
Entirely composed, performed, and produced by Olsen, ‘Heimferd’ stands is both an immersive listening experience and a personal letter to his ancestral heritage.

For fans of HEILUNG, WARDRUNA, GARMARNA, MYRKUR.
