Preorder items - Extreme Metal and Dark music
In 2026—marking the 40th anniversary of their original formation under the name Black Death—the legendary Norwegian duo Darkthrone, comprised of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto, returns with a new high-caliber opus devoted to old metal, under the banner of “Pre-Historic Metal.”
Pre-Historic Metal features eight tracks shaped by primordial epics and colossal riffs, driven by an organic sound infused with the ever-present spirit of the ’70s and ’80s. It stands as a worthy continuation of the mastery already showcased in It Beckons Us All (2024). This new chapter unfolds as a vast odyssey through the sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy, and Doom Metal. Enhanced by punishing, aggressive guitar work, Darkthrone blend a cauldron of wild creativity with a nod to the songwriting methods that defined their late-’80s beginnings—now delivered with a more refined craftsmanship.
This edition of Pre-Historic Metal is available in multiple formats: CD in jewel case with a 12-page booklet, standard black vinyl, limited edition purple marble vinyl, and a deluxe limited box set. The box set includes an exclusive 180g splatter vinyl with gatefold sleeve and alternative artwork by Maciej Kamuda, an exclusive cassette edition, a CD version, a booklet featuring an interview with Harald Fossberg on the making of Pre-Historic Metal, and two posters.
One of the most underrated pearls from the Swiss underground scene, Sadness. Formed in 1989 and released two demos and three full lengths from 1991 to 1998. Inspired by the occult Hellhammer and early Celtic Frost and other first waves black metal bands. On the other hand heavily rooted in doom / death metal, and later on heavily influenced by gothic metal. Debut album Ames de Marbre is the perfect blend of doom, death, black and gothic metal. This re-issue has a total new designed artwork and insert and demo Oedipus (1992) as bonus.
Including 12-page 10″ booklet and double-sided A2 poster.
The LPs are limited to 666 copies in total.

Warning!
If you discovered IMMORTAL after 1995, this record might not be for you.
These recordings capture the band during the 1993 Fuck Christ Tour and the 1995 Battle Of The Ages Tour — raw fan-recordings, unpolished, and unapologetically real. No sterile soundboard perfection. No studio correction. Just the unfiltered force of a band in its purest form.
These recordings breathe the spirit of a time when Black Metal was still young, dangerous, and defiantly outside the mainstream. A time before trends, before marketing, before compromise. When the scene was built on tape trading, dedication, and cold conviction.
This is a document of an era that will never return — a glimpse into the formative years of a band that reshaped Black Metal from the shadows.

Batushka's 2019 Opus Returns: The Liturgy of Death Re-released!
Back on Black is proud to announce the comprehensive reissue of Hospodi (Church Slavonic for "Lord"), the second full-length album from the Polish black metal phenomenon, Batushka. Initially released in 2019, Hospodi represents a more polished, melodic, and theatrical evolution of the band's signature, ritualistic sound.
Based on the Eastern Orthodox "Liturgy of Death" and traditional funeral rites, the album is a thematic journey through death and judgment. This reissue brings back the ten-track masterpiece, which blends traditional black metal (tremolo riffs, ferocious blast beats) with haunting choirs, atmospheric ambient interludes, and profound Slavic chants.
Hospodi was lauded for its dramatic production, and this reissue shines a light on key tracks like the atmospheric opener "Wozglas," the rocking-yet-menacing "Wieczernia," and the powerful closer "Liturgiya".

"The idea of Interwoven—an acoustic journey tracing one song from each chapter of our discography—was first envisioned on the very day UADA was conceived: October 1st, 2014. In those early conversations, when I laid out the future I sought to create, and recall sharing the concept of a stripped, atmospheric interpretation, supported by the haunting resonance of strings—cello or violin. At the time, the notion was met with skepticism, perhaps even dismissal. Yet it was an idea I knew would one day take form. It had to.
UADA has always drawn from a wide spectrum of influences—many of which extend far beyond the traditional boundaries of black metal. With Interwoven, we sought to peel back the layers and reveal the vastness of these realms; to immerse the listener in both the foreign and the familiar, in textures that challenge and comfort in equal measure.
More than a sonic experiment, this album was a deliberate act of vulnerability. It was a personal and collective trial—a chance to step outside the acquainted shadows and embrace the uncertain light. The earliest intent was to craft something primitive and ritualistic, echoing the ancestral tones of ancient Pagan folk. Vocally, we anticipated a palette of whispers, chants, and throat singing. There was never a plan to explore clean, melodic singing—until an improvised vocal passage in Djinn revealed something unexpected. That unscripted moment sparked the foundation of what would become this album. With the band’s enthusiastic support, the recording process began—without a script, without rehearsal, and with full commitment to spontaneity and truth."
