The long Canadian winter has many voices, but few speak with the introspective clarity of Finnr’s Cane. Emerging from the icy expanse of Sudbury, Ontario, the duo’s self-titled fourth album is a meditation on transition: the slow dying of autumn, the silence of snowfall, and the liminal space between nature and civilisation.
Though rooted in atmospheric black metal, Finnr’s Cane forgo many of the genre’s conventions. There is no bass guitar; instead, low-end warmth and mournful resonance are carried by cello and keyboard, lending the music an organic, almost spectral quality. Rather than follow rigid structures, their songs unfold through improvisation, guided by mood and instinct.
Comparable in spirit to acts like Wolves in the Throne Room, Agalloch, and Fen, Finnr’s Cane tread a kindred path but speak in a voice entirely their own – one that has resonated since their 2010 debut, “Wanderlust”, and continued through critically acclaimed releases on Prophecy Productions and Frostscald Records. This latest work marks their first collaboration with Nordvis, a natural home for their singular vision.
To celebrate the first decade of such an important album, Avantgarde Music proudly presents a double-vinyl special edition aptly named Isolate X, which not only includes the original Isolate, but adds a second LP with reworks and reinterpretations from both fellow Avantgarde Music cosmic artists and friends of Mesarthim alike.
Isolate X includes contributions from Mike Lamb and Heike Langhans’ Remina, the newborn Italian black metal band Bianca (featuring members from Hideous Divinity), Australian solo projects Midnight Odyssey and Germ, and the rising cosmic force from Sweden Vrazorth.
With a wonderful handpainting by Heinke Langhans which reimagines the original NASA photo of the Horsehead Nebula, Isolate X is a perfect change to rediscover Mesarthim’s debut from an unexpected perspective, or experience it for the first time.
Comes in a one-off press of 300 copies, with disc 1 Transparent blue with milky clear and disc 2 Galaxy transparent red + yellow

Mike Lamb (Sojourner) and Heike Langhans (Sojourner, ex-Draconian) are back with their personal gothic/doom project, Remina. The duo’s sophomore album, The Silver Sea, will follow their 2022 debut Strata and will be released on October 24th 2025 on CD and digital, once again via Avantgarde Music. Here follows the band’s statement.
The Silver Sea was written over the three year period following the release of our debut album Strata, and it is the product of the changes we experienced as both a band and on a personal level.
Remina took to the stage for the first time in 2023, and through this process we got to spend a lot of time in beautiful northern Italy bringing to life live versions of our songs with our excellent live lineup. The process of seeing how our sound translated to a live setting ultimately impacted how we approached this album. We didn't want to deviate from our vision for the band or the sound, but we did incorporate a much more musically 'direct' approach in the way the songs were written this time around. This was helped massively by the excellent drum tracking of Shayne Roos, who lifted our original ideas to an entirely new level. We are also honored to be joined by guest vocal spots from two musicians we greatly look up to, Mick Moss of Antimatter (Algol) and Tony Dunn of Sgàile (Vanta Ray).
On a personal level, we were dealing with the decision of having to uproot our lives in Europe and move back to New Zealand to be closer to family. The weight of the decision to move across the world, so far from the lives we had built, was reflected in the overarching themes and atmosphere of the album. While each song deals with its own subject matter, there is an overarching story running throughout as an invisible thread tying the album together.

ANFAUGLIR was forged by US multi-instrumentalists Lord Bauglir and Griss as an exploration in storytelling through epic symphonic Black Metal. Based upon the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the duo aim to match the source material's scope and grandeur with unique cinematic compositions which transport listeners directly to Middle-earth.
Originally active 2004-2010, when they released cult 2008 debut album "Hymns over Anfauglith", ANFAUGLIR are now resurrected in glorious style to unleash a new suite of rousing, emotive and triumphant longform manifestations of a legendary mystical world.
Avoiding traditional song structures, the immaculately-produced new opus "Akallabêth" - meaning 'The Downfallen' in Adûnaic, the language of Tolkein's Númenoreans - is written and arranged in the vein of a traditional classical symphony. Themes and melodies develop, recur and transform, entwining delicately rapturous motifs with violent tragedy through the vastness of multi-layered orchestration, choral majesty, evocative chamber-work and sweeping Black Metal.
Formed in 2024 by the guitarist/bassist Sz. I. (Shodan) & the vocalist S. (Mānbryne, Blaze of Perdition), then joined by the drummer KwB (Owls Woods Graves) shortly after, Stellar Blight offers a striking and catchy take on highly energetic metal of death in the vein of late Dissection, Wayfarer or Tribulation, while also not shying away from traditional heavy metal roots.
“Eventide: Synod of the Dying Stars” is the band’s debut full-length album consisting of 10 tracks spanning over 40+ minutes of death driven heavy metal. Recorded at Sound of Records & Studio Roslyn and currently being mixed and mastered by Satanic Audio.
"Vedderbaug" second album from Norwegian black metal band LJÅ, marks a significant evolution from their 2006 debut, "Til avsky for livet."
While the first album delivered a raw, chaotic assault reminiscent of the second-wave black metal style, "Vedderbaug" offers relentless drumming, more ferocity with darker melodies.
Deeply rooted in traditional Norwegian black metal, "Vedderbaug" revealed a LJÅ more venomous with time.
Re-issue, updated layout for the best, mastered specially for vinyl.
For fans of Taake, earlier Darkthrone, Isvind.
