Selling vinyl - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Cathedral’s ninth studio album was originally released by Nuclear Blast in 2010 as a double disc set and produced by x3 Grammy award winner Warren Riker (Fugees, Down, M People, Destiny's Child, COC). It was perhaps their most ambitious effort to date. It covers a lot of musical territories that the band were known for, with each song having a different to vibe to the next.
The Guessing Game has been a somewhat overlooked album in the Cathedral repertoire and, whilst the band were happy with the production, they always considered the original mix to be a bit lack-lustre. So now, with the recording rights reverting to the band, they thought it a good time to revisit the masters and get the album sounding more in keeping with how they would have liked it to sound at the time.
With that in mind, the album has been completely remixed from the original masters by long-time collaborator Jaime Gomez Arellano. Now, with a more cohesive, stripped down, raw and powerful sound, it includes alternate takes and extended versions of songs, now stretching over five sides of vinyl, enabling the tracks to breathe like never before. This new mix gives The Guessing Game a revitalised energy, which almost makes it sound like a new album.

DUIR’s upcoming album, CATARSI (2026, AOP), represents their most ambitious work yet. Set during the First World War, it follows a young soldier caught between pride, despair, and oblivion. Through atmospheric black metal intertwined with evocative folk elements, Catarsi guides listeners on a cathartic journey where history becomes emotion and memory turns into sound.

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
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.
Five sonic vessels form the nucleus of 'Crepuscule Natura', and within it`s 41 minutes, the record easily creates a sonic and aesthetic bridge between the band`s debut, 'Devoid of Light' (2016), and their sophomore effort 'Cult of a Dying Sun' (2018), only to forge onward upon the relentless path set forth with 'Djinn' (2020). Here, a more refined and muscular, yet no less melodic stronghold awaits. On 'Crepuscule Natura', UADA provides all their memorable hooks, tasteful leads, and riding blasts in their distinct style, balancing their epic surging melodies with powerful spurts of aggression. Just like the band's smoke-heavy shows, the momentum and emphasis of their craft always stays grandiose, mythical, and triumphant – all the while making sure to birth a couple of new fan favorites and soon-to-be staple live songs.
'Crepuscule Natura', once again graced by the artwork of legendary Kris Verwimp and photo work by Peter Beste Photography, shows UADA on fire to unleash the marrow of black heavy metal.
HULDER is a dark black metal project from the United States, driven by the creative partnership of Hulder and Necreon, whose three albums to date have steadily drawn the project toward more expansive and collaborative territory. ‘Verbolgen’, released jointly by Season of Mist and 20 Buck Spin, marks a decisive turn: the first HULDER record on which Necreon steps fully into his role as co-leader rather than session contributor. Rooted in ancient nature worship, ancestral rite, and the shadows of pre-Christian tradition, ‘Verbolgen’ moves through nine tracks that trade in both the severity and the strange, wintry beauty that have always defined HULDER 's sound. The writing has grown more layered here, drawing on a wider palette of instrumentation: hurdy gurdy and additional keys from Keld bring an almost processional weight to certain passages, while Ianuaria's session flute drifts through the album like smoke across still water. Two drummers divide the record between them, Vapula and Vrolok each bringing their own character to their respective tracks, and the sum of it is a rhythm section that feels alive to the album's shifts in mood and tempo. The mix, handled by Ahti Kortelainen at Tico Tico Studio in Finland, gives the record an earthy, resonant quality that suits its themes of blood, soil, and the settling of old debts. Even the visual identity signals a new chapter: the cover art, painted by Morrigan, is her first work created for a metal band in nearly three decades, with an updated logo crafted by Jannicke Wiese Hansen. Three of the album's songs are sung in Flemish, lending ‘Verbolgen’ a peculiar, incantatory dimension that sets it apart from anything in HULDER's back catalogue. For fans of BATHORY, DISSECTION, MOONSORROW

After years of silence and dedication, Ováte return from the abyss with their new offering Rúin, forged by Aindiachaí (Gorgoroth) on guitars/bass and Brodd (ex-Taake) on drums. Eight years have passed since the band’s self-titled debut, and Rúin now reopen the wound; deeper, colder, and more deliberate.
Rúin is here. Not to be understood, but to be endured, an arcane, insidiously pernicious incursion beyond the veil.
A defining hallmark of Ováte’s sound remains intact: once again, every track is a collaboration with a different guest vocalist, turning the album into a shifting procession of voices and maledictions. Each performance adds a new layer to the record’s blackened craft, while the core duo keeps the blade steady. Sharp riffs, ritualistic momentum, and a trance-like pull that feels both predatory and strangely ceremonial.
On Rúin, Ováte list an exceptional cast from the Norwegian and wider extreme metal underground: Spellgoth (Horna), H’grimmr (Helheim), Thomas S. Øvstedal (Cor Scorpii), Sanrabb (Gehenna), Ødemark (The Last Eon / The Third Attempt) and Hoest (Taake). The result is a record that moves with relentless intent, yet rich in atmosphere, with each track carrying its own curse.
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.
Formed in Orléans in 2022, Les Bâtards du Roi is a melodic black metal band set within a medieval universe. Taking place in a devastated kingdom, the project tells the story of the brothers who committed regicide, an act that plunged the realm into ruin and torment. From this pivotal event, the protagonists embark on a spiritual journey of introspection through a scarred and desolate landscape. It is the story of their endless exile.
