HARKANE returns after four years, from “FALLEN KING SIMULACRUM”, with an ambitious and complex work. “ARGO” is a concept album based on the Argonautica by Apollonius Rhodius. The adventures of Jason, Medea and the conquest of the Golden Fleece are not only an immortal classical epopee, but they are the paradigm of the human being, of his feelings and weaknesses, true protagonists of this picaresque journey. Furthermore, this album marks an evolution in the band's sound and in its approach to music itself, a new stageofajourneythatbegantenyearsago and that perhaps will never end!
Following on from last year’s bleak and disconsolate Wounds single, Finland’s purveyors of
‘Anti-Life Black Metal Misery’, Grave With A View, have returned with their most powerful and
harrowing release to date – Raw Illumination. A full length album steeped in isolation, violence, self
destruction and death, Raw Illumination is not an album for the faint of heart or the fragile of spirit.
Recorded and mixed by O.H.R and mastered by Haldor Grunberg at Satanic Audio (Behemoth,
Dopelord, Christ Agony etc), Raw Illumination is the sonic distillation of caustic chaos and grim,
unmitigated despair – every malicious note cutting straight to the bone – and its aura of desperate
degradation has been perfectly captured in the cover imagery; the artwork and layout by Danny The
Destroyer, utilising powerful, unsettling images of model Anna Iivana Julma, captured by the band.
When it crawls from the crypts of label Dusktone on November 29th, Raw Illumination will hunt down
the broken and the flawed, the outcasts and the lepers and swallow them into its maw of ice and
pain.

Established by two girls from the Dresden area, Satyra and Melpomene, both heavily involved in
the rich local underground, ALTAR OV ASTERIA was envisioned and formed through its members'
shared influence of black metal. The goal of the band's material, embodied in their "Éna" debut, is to
balance visceral energy with enveloping atmosphere and dark melody, creating a sound both
rooted in black metal tradition and expansive new avantgarde sounds.
"Imagine you would wake up in a world full of mysteries and realities woven into each other, like in a
story book of the past centuries of Dante Alighieri or Homer. Two black-robed mysteries in
gold-snake masks wake you up from the heavy dorm with blackened sirens crushing your ears,
mesmerizing your mind to sense the allegories of humankind existence. You’ve got an invitation to a
storybook of hellish Sodom, chapter by chapter illustrating thy and foreign dystopia".

One with the Riverbed is a five-piece post-metal band from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Since forming in 2017, the band has strived to push the boundaries of the genre by incorporating elements of atmospheric black metal with dissonant textures and dynamic shifts. Succumb, the band's second full-length album, shows the band embracing their core musical identity while venturing into previously unexplored realms. With a distinct fusion of haunting melodies, visceral riffs, and enveloping soundscapes, the album is a testament to One with the Riverbed's continuous sonic evolution. Lyrical themes include nostalgia, temporality, and the human condition.
Born and raised along the rural shores of the Danube river, the element of water has always had a shaping impact on Marrok's perception of nature and life in general. Throughout the new Anomalie album „Riverchild“ he drew a musical portrait of an entity still present around this immense stream which had always nurtured and taken lifes equally, a force able of spending hope and wisdom but also possesses the strength and wrath to destroy and destruct.Comparable to the multiple faces of a colossal river like the Danube, the music on „Riverchild“ provides a diverse range of facets taking the listener on a journey full of profound and honest emotions expressed through aggressive outbursts of pure Black Metal dissonance as well as fragile moments of introspectivecalmness. Anomalie once again asks for focus and patience, but offers a wider range of rewarding layers than ever before!
