Selling DVD and Video - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Solbrud is known for performing at unique locations, with special care for lights and props, which now results in ‘Levende I Brønshøj Vandtårn’; a carefully curated live double album and video. Recorded inside Brønshøj Water Tower in Copenhagen at two totally sold-out nights. The tower is known for its brutalist architecture and unique acoustics – 15 seconds of natural reverb, which creates a fitting atmospheric backdrop for the monumental sound of the band. On top of that, the tower was freezing cold, amplifying the nature of the music.
The full concert consists of 8 tracks, including songs from all three previous Solbrud albums. Some have been rearranged, taking the special acoustics into account, while others blast through in their original form. In addition to their set, the new song ‘Sjæleskrig’ was added to their setlist, which resonates hauntingly in the great tower’s reverberance.
‘Levende I Brønshøj Vandtårn’ was recorded on November 23rd and 24th 2019 and mixed by Marcus Ferreira Larsen (Demon Head) at No Master's Voice. Mastered by Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica, Morbid Angel, Rainbow, etc.) at Sweet Silence Studios.
CD/DVD of Mayhem's legendary 1989 rehearsal, containing classic tracks, a previously unreleased song, plus additional track renditions on DVD.
---------
Mayhem, the Norwegian pioneers responsible for invigorating the global Metal scene, alongside the likes of Venom, Celtic Frost and Bathory, formed in 1984. With a long history of tragedy, intrigue and infamy behind them, the band have become truly revered legends of Black Metal, with a large part of their legacy established in the late 1980s & early 1990s (when guitarist Euronymous and bassist Necrobutcher welcomed Hellhammer on drums and Dead on vocals, to help shape a new era of darkness and Armageddon).
Henhouse Recordings contains tracks from Mayhem’s rehearsal sessions from 1989, featuring material from the Deathcrush release, and also tracks which would eventually surface in 1994 on the band’s debut album, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. A never-released track is also included, parts of which would later be used by Norwegian legends, Emperor. One of only a handful of Mayhem recordings to feature iconic vocalist, Per “Dead” Ohlin before his suicide in 1991, Henhouse Recordings is another essential piece of Black Metal history.
Never Stop the Madness - The Roadburn Inferno
A CD / DVD set featuring a peerless performance from the Norwegian industrial Black Metal godfathers (captured live at the esteemed Roadburn Festival 2017).
The pioneering industrial black metal force to emerge in the early 1990s, Mysticum brought to the world a completely unique brand of extreme and Psychedelic discordant Black Metal with insane drum machine patterns and synths.
They were originally signed to Mayhem guitarist Euronymous' Deathlike Silence Productions label. However, this venture was cut short following his death, forcing Mysticum to look elsewhere for the release of their eventual debut album and genre classic, In the Streams of Inferno (1996). A perfect concoction of cold, primitive Black Metal and forward-thinking ideas, Mysticum has had a lasting and profound impact on many since the 1990s, so when the long-talked about follow-up album, Planet Satan, surfaced in 2014, these godfathers of the scene rightly returned to reclaim their throne.
In light of the release, Mysticum decided that a return to the stage would be the next logical step, but it had to be done their way, without compromise; and so, with Herr General Cerastes, Dr Best and Svartravn stood upon three 3 metre high podiums surrounded by screens, with one of the most intense light and sound spectacles witnessed at an Extreme Metal show, Mysticum stunned the crowd into submission.

It takes a vision of some distinction to stand out amid an unerringly over-populated black metal scene. Gelderland (NL) iconoclasts Solar Temple made it look easy with their 2018 debut album, Fertile Descent: a kaleidoscopic, deep-dive grimoire with atmosphere, melody, and a chewable sense of spectral dread, it defied extreme metal’s in-built conservatism and conjured a sonic world with no boundaries beyond an intuitive devotion to the dark. Consisting of the duo M. Koops (Fluisteraars, Nusquama) and O. (Turia, Iskandr, Dool) its musical adventurism should come as no surprise to those with a keen eye for the Dutch heavy music scene. The new album "The Great Star Above Provides" was written live in their rehearsal space during long improvisations between 2020 and 2021 and dives headfirst into the psychedelic spacerock undertones that have been a defining quality of Solar Temple since the beginning, while shedding the black metal confines of before.
"The Great Star Above Provides" was entirely live-recorded by the duo at the prestigious Roadburn Festival and aired for the first time at the festival's REDUX edition during the pandemic. With video and audio professionally recorded/mixed/mastered, Solar Temple`s unique interstellar performance is now released for the public.
