FINSTERFORST - Still

FINSTERFORST
Still

 

Gatefold Double LP on black vinyl & with inlay.
For more than two decades, Finsterforst have been shaping their own distinctive voice within extreme metal, continuously evolving both musically and lyrically without ever losing their core identity. Their sound merges elements from a wide spectrum of heavy music — from black and folk-inspired roots to epic, atmospheric and post-metal influences — forming a style they refer to as “Black Forest Metal”: a blend that feels both deeply rooted and entirely its own.

Rather than fitting into a single label, their music thrives on contrast and fusion: crushing heaviness meets vast, cinematic atmospheres; raw aggression unfolds into melancholic, emotional depth; and monumental arrangements carry a sense of both intimacy and scale. While often described in broader terms as epic, atmospheric or post-influenced extreme metal, Finsterforst deliberately transcend genre boundaries.

The result is a sound that is brutally powerful yet richly layered, where sadness, rage, triumph and grandeur coexist within expansive compositions. Driven by constant progression and a refusal to stand still, Finsterforst continue to refine a vision that is as immersive as it is unmistakable

OROMET
Oromet

In the wake of 2025’s “The Sinking Isle”, Oromet’s eponymous debut album is finally receiving a full vinyl and CD release. Originally issued on cassette in 2023, the record stands as a stunning ode to loss, longing, and despair.

Crystalline guitars rise from a foundation of dark, churning murk, while angelic synthesizers stretch skyward, soaring among the crags and stars. The music evokes the feeling of watching life’s happiest moments fade into memory like the light of a distant setting sun.

CIRITH UNGOL - All The Shadows
Pre order

CIRITH UNGOL
All The Shadows

The legendary Heavy Metal band CIRITH UNGOL will unleash their seventh full-length album, "All The Shadows", via No Remorse Records.

Formed in Ventura, California in the early 1970s, Cirith Ungol is a band with a remarkable story, creating a unique and original sound. From the eccentric and mysterious debut album "Frost And Fire", to the heavier and darker "King Of The Dead" and "One Foot In Hell", Cirith Ungol's music and lyrical themes offered to the world epic, apocalyptic and doom-filled music. In 1991, Cirith Ungol released "Paradise Lost", an album that became a fan-favourite over the years, but led them to oblivion and they disbanded a year later.

The myth was getting stronger, the demand was getting bigger, the passion started taking over. In 2015, Cirith Ungol reunited, offering to the world the live shows they were waiting for! It was a dream come true for many fans. More than that, the band also recorded two more albums, "Forever Black" in 2015 and "Dark Parade" in 2023, expanding their legacy and getting the recognition they deserved. Not only in the underground metal scene, as the leaders and founders of cult, arcane and obscure metal, but in Heavy Metal in general. In 2024, it was announced that Cirith Ungol would perform their last shows, but two years later, the beast could not rest and the fire still burns.

"All the Shadows" is a classic Cirith Ungol album in every sense of the word. Furthermore, it is not an exaggeration that this album is one of the band's strongest efforts ever! Few bands can claim that they recorded a record equal to their older, established and classic albums, and even fewer can support a solid statement that a new album after decades can look in the eyes, or even top, their classic albums. Cirith Ungol actually did it. This album was the culmination of their desire to keep forging their unique brand of true metal.

"All the Shadows" recorded at The Captains Quarters, Ventura, CA. Engineered, mixed and mastered by Armand John Anthony. Produced by Cirith Ungol and Armand John Anthony. Executive Producer: Jarvis Leatherby. The incredible cover art is created by the acclaimed fantasy artist Michael Whelan.

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.
