Preorder items - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Originally released in October 1999 and commonly regarded as one of the most overlooked Scandinavian black metal albums of the 90s. Emerging from the same Swedish darkness that spawned the likes of Funeral Mist, Malign, Sorhin and Ofermod - Triumphator has, much like their peers, a legacy of chaos in its own right. While this might explain the ferociousness of the musical output, it’s also why “Wings of Antichrist” was the band’s final release.
But what a beast it is. An ageless monument standing vigil for a very different era of black metal. Flesh-cleaving melodies interchanged with lunatic guitar solos are brought together by the pulsating militaristic violence of former Marduk drummer Fredrik Andersson and abysmal vocal range of Arioch from Funeral Mist.
Everything created under the name ARCKANUM is an extension of Shamaatae's Thursian spiritual practice and artistic vision. The music is conceived not simply as artistic expression, but as an act of magical will, shaped to evoke specific inner states, esoteric ideas, and atmospheres without compromise or conformity.
From its beginning, ARCKANUM has followed the Left-Hand Path: the way of the outsider, the vargar, standing beyond imposed order and conventional morality. Resistance, questioning, and individual will have always remained fundamental to both Shamaatae's spiritual Work and his approach to art.
The forthcoming album carries this principle further as a complete magical working. Music, lyrics, sound, and visual form have been developed as interconnected parts of the same ritual expression, shaped through intent and devotion within Shamaatae's Thursatru Workings.
Written in Old Swedish (fornsvenska), the lyrics draw upon Old Norse and Swedish poetic traditions while incorporating elements of Swedish svartkonst. They function as mythic charms and narrative incantations, invoking the Thursian current.
Musically, the new material represents a fusion of ARCKANUM's older foundations with Shamaatae's present approach to composition. The new album Beswærilsin cuts deep with a feral, unpolished production, raw with aggression and stripped of unnecessary ornament. Its sound moves between the freezing storms of Niflheimr and the relentless, blazing fury of Múspellsheimr, at once cold and searing, primitive and forceful, carrying the unmistakable spirit of ARCKANUM into a harsher and more dynamic form.
A work of bleak grandeur, elemental force and restless transformation, Marrow Of The Spirit marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of AGALLOCH.
Mixed at Klangschmiede Studio E and newly mastered by Gus Elg, this 2026 reissue edition brings the album's original vision closer to the foreground. Stock focused on the emotional impact of the recording and on the way its instruments merge into one enveloping soundscape.

Eight years after the acclaimed Slow Motion Death Sequence, Norwegian experimental visionaries Manes return with To Burn Is To Shine, their sixth full-length album and the beginning of a new chapter in a career defined by fearless artistic evolution. Since their inception in Trondheim in 1992, Manes have consistently refused to remain confined within stylistic boundaries. Emerging from the early Norwegian black metal underground with the cult debut Under Ein Blodraud Maane, the band soon embarked on a remarkable transformation that culminated in the landmark Vilosophe, an album that would become one of the defining statements of avant-garde metal. Throughout the following decades, Manes have continued to blur the lines between metal, dark electronica, alternative rock, trip-hop and experimental music, developing a sound that remains unmistakably their own.
To Burn Is To Shine also features contributions from several distinguished guests, including Ana Carolina Skaret (Mourning Sun), Eskil Blix (Djevel, Vemod), Marita Hellem (Enevelde), Rune Folgerø (Atrox, Drontheim) and Tom Christian Engelsøy (Drontheim), while Vegar Larsen (Whoredom Rife) performs drums on two tracks. The striking visual identity of the album has been created by New York-based designer Michael Houtz, whose handcrafted artwork extends across the physical editions and accompanying merchandise.

Rooted in a sombre, tragic and epic expression of Doom-infused Melodic Black Metal, “Cursed Songs from the Garden of Twilight” carries a style hard to link to other specific bands. THE SCARS IN PNEUMA (brought forth by Lorenzo Marchello, ex-Kolony Records) blends stunning melodies and dramatic atmospheres, interweaving them within structures balanced between slow/fast-paced rhythms and haunting interludes, resulting in a continous unfolding of compositional details. Cavernous growling vocals float above the instrumental flow, enhancing the stream of emotions in intensity.
