Aquilus started out as an atmospheric metal solo-project by Horace Rosenqvist from Melbourne, Australia, whose works encompass different styles of atmospheric music inspired by classical, folk, and other genres. Being conceived sometime in the early 2000’s, after some experimental demos and an EP “Arbor” in 2007, Aquilus released their debut album "Griseus", created soley by Rosenqvist, on CD through ATMF in 2011. A 2013 vinyl release by Blood Music raised the band into public consciousness, and "Griseus" slowly amassed a following of devoted fans, climbing its way to being voted one of the top albums of the decade on MetalStorm.

Hailing from Switzerland, SAMAEL is a trailblazing force in the metal scene, known for their ability to evolve and push boundaries. Emerging in the late '80s, the band carved their place in history by blending black metal roots with industrial and atmospheric elements, creating a sound that is both brutal and mesmerizing.

With their third album, Ceremony of Opposites (originally issued in 1994), SAMAEL achieved cult status. This iconic record merges haunting atmospheres, powerful riffs, and ritualistic lyrics into a masterpiece that redefined the genre. Tracks like “Baphomet's Throne” and “Celebration of the Fourth” showcase their ability to balance darkness and melody, cementing their legacy as innovators in extreme metal.

After 4 long years of silence and absence in the fog of the pandemic and war, like a heavy sledgehammer rushing towards your head, Pyre returns with their third full-length murderous opus.
With the unique fresh-sounding production but yet traditionally made in the old-school vein, along with the new level of performance, the new album delivers mid-tempo darkness and colder atmosphere of their previous album, complemented by classic phrases of band's well-known high-speed crushing low-tuned rattling riffage with obscure melodies and solos and surely recognizable signature frantic voice.

Reissue of Azarath's third full-length studio album from 2006. Remastered at Satanic Audio (Behemoth, Pestilence, Malevolent Creation).

Azarath needs no introduction to the connoisseurs of sonic terror. The band crept from the shadows over two decades ago and is often described as a demonic mutation of Krisiun, Behemoth and Immolation. "Dibaolic Impious Evil" was recorded by co-founder/drummer Inferno (of Behemoth fame), guitarists Bart (Damnation, Armagedon) & Thrufel, and vocalist/bassist Bruno.

When merited veterans of Norwegian Death/Black Metal conspire to breathe life into a new entity, you know you are in for a real treat.

ULVEHUNGER`s Retaliation, the outcome of a joint effort by L.J. Balvaz (BALVAZ/CADAVER/DISGUSTING) and K.B. Fletcher (DISGUSTING) together with none other than legendary Frost (SATYRICON/1349) and Anders Odden (CADAVER/ORDER/SATYRICON live) has Norwegian Death/Black Metal written all over it.

Tracks like “Desecrator”, “Consumed By Hate” or “Rise From The Shadows” convince with memorable riffs that are razor-sharp and remorselessly attacking yet melodious and melancholic at the same time. Pushed ahead by Frost`s unmistakable drumming and L.J. Balvaz`scornful sermons Retaliation is a dynamic, ravenous beast of an album.

ULVEHUNGER, despite being steeped in the tradition of classic outputs by compatriots CARPATHIAN FOREST, DARKTHRONE or GORGOROTH deliver without being a carbon-copy of said bands. ULVEHUNGER managed to create a worthy addition to the endless list of masterpieces from Norway no adherent of the genre can afford to miss out on.

Compilation of the early Desultory demos. All tracks mastered from the original DAT tapes by Patrick W. Engel in February 2024.

Commonly cited and appreciated as one of the trailblazers of melodic Death Metal, swedish DESULTORY`s roots are deeply buried in Thrash Metal. Wearing their influences on their sleeves, their first demo From Beyond features songs in the vein of KREATOR, TESTAMENT or MERCILESS.
Apart from Klas Morberg`s eery howlings which bear semblance with early TIAMAT and the fact that the demo was recorded in legendary Sunlight Studios in 1990 From Beyond is basically a Thrash Metal demo, albeit a very enjoyable and strikingly well-played one.

It was with Death Unfolds from 1991, the rabid pack`s second demo, that DESULTORY really came into their own as far as style and sound are concerned.
Again recorded by Tomas Skogsberg in his renowned Sunlight Studios, the demo showcases most of the band`s typical trademarks they would go on to be admired for. Bangers like "Passed Away" and "The Chill Within" both of which would end up being re-recorded for DESULTORY`s debut album are top-tier swedish Death Metal with downtuned guitar riffs in abundance and a particular sensitivity for melody.

Simply titled Visions, the 3rd demo again recorded in Sunlight Studios in 1992 logically continues DESULTORY`s trajectory.
Building on the fundament laid out on Death Unfolds some of the ingredients only hinted at previously are extended and fine-tuned on tracks like "Forever Gone" and "Depression". Aided by the strongest production of their demos giving the songs that certain extra punch this demo is victorious on all fronts and a must listen for anyone into swedish Death Metal of the highest order.
