Anthropic Bias (2022) explores themes of cosmic significance and existential philosophy, echoing the idea of humanity’s tendency to see the universe as centered around itself. The music itself is a fusion of icy, tremolo-picked guitar riffs, blast beats, and haunting, atmospheric synth layers. It carries an otherworldly mood, drifting between aggression and contemplation. The song also incorporates electronic elements and ambient interludes, which provide a vast, ethereal soundscape. This single is both relentless and meditative, capturing Mesarthim’s ability to craft immersive, spacey atmospheres while retaining black metal’s raw intensity.
Departure (2024) leans heavily into the band’s cosmic themes, evoking feelings of journeying through space or leaving behind something familiar. The track opens with a somber and almost melancholic tone, gradually building into a massive, swirling blend of distorted guitars and atmospheric keys. The song shifts through dynamic phases, from soaring melodies to intense, fast-paced sections. Like much of Mesarthim’s work, Departure utilizes synth layers to create a celestial, almost dreamlike atmosphere, suggesting both the awe and isolation of venturing into the unknown. The track serves as a contemplative journey, fitting with the title’s theme of departure and escape.

Todestrieb is a Polish black metal duo formed in 2023 in Cracow by blein (guitars and bass) and Res (vocals and lyrics). After several months of hard work, the duo completed their debut studio record, Corona Tenebra, which will be released in December by Avantgarde Music.
Drawing their inspiration from bands such as Watain, Odraza, Drastus, Kriegsmaschine, Tortorum, Funeral Mist and many more, Todestrieb managed to find their own way in the crowded black metal underground, specifying that “those bands influenced rather the essence of our music than the form”.
Corona Tenebra consists of five tracks and an outro, and its lyrics, all written in Polish but translated into English in the album booklet, circle around themes like spirituality, gnostic satanism, blasphemy, theology and philosophy.
Featuring Mgła, Hauntologist and Owls Woods Graves’ Michał “The Fall” Stępień on drums, Todestrieb debut is a very diverse, fascinating take on black metal. Corona Tenebra was recorded in No Solace studio and mixed and mastered at Impressive Art Studio. With an artwork by Izabela Grabda, Corona Tenebra will be released via Avantgarde Music on CD, LP and digital on December 13th, 2024.

From the depths of outer space, a new creature reached planet Earth: Vrazorth is a new one-man band shrouded in mystery, albeit rumors say they originated somewhere in Sweden.
Vrazorth, a cryptic force lurking in Sweden’s black metal underworld, conjures chilling atmospheres that spiral through the infinite void. The solo project of Vra, shrouded in anonymity, blends icy riffs with cosmic dissonance, like the cold embrace of a forgotten star collapsing into darkness. Unholy whispers entwine with celestial screams, creating soundscapes that evoke a realm beyond time.
To craft its debut studio album, Vrazorth drew inspiration from the best: the alien atmosphere of Darkspace, the hallucinated violence of Mysticum, the unpredictable and hybrid nature of Mesarthim. Everything perfectly mixed together to create music that sings of the cosmos, its void and the hidden mysteries that lie among the stars.

One-off edition 150 copies
Wolvencrown’s take on black metal is based on long, keyboard-layered structures, with songs seldom clocking in at less than eight or nine minutes. The solemnity of keyboards, though, is balanced by the fury and rage of guitar riffs and fast drumming, making Celestial Lands a varied and diverse effort. Different from the atmospheric black metal you often hear coming from the Pacific Northwest, Wolvencrown melodies have deep roots in the European tradition, while their lyrics deal with nature, its spirits and the damage Man has caused.

Following their 2021 debut De Rerum Natura, Italian atmospheric/melodic black metal duo Eard is back with their sophomore album, Melancholia.
In the band's words, “Melancholia is a deeply introspective work exploring human experience, heavily influenced by the poetic tradition of Romanticism. A defining aspect of Eard is the atmosphere shaped by the strings of the celtic harp interwoven with wistful, evocative guitar melodies. Continuing the tradition initiated with their debut album, the music is enriched by the vocals of guest artists, including Saor’s mastermind Andy Marshall and Belgian multi-instrumentalist Déhà (SLOW, Déhà, Acathexis and many more), who was featured in the previous album and returns this time to contribute to two tracks”.
Eard pays homage to Anglo-Saxon poetry, such homage beginning with the very name of the band, the Old English word used to describe the concept of earth, land and home. Melancholia tells tales of misty lands of old and ancient voyages across the seas, and its haunting melodies will pierce through the greyness of everyday life.

---------------------
Contemporary versus tribal. The city empties, the countryside resurfaces. The crumbling contemporary ideals collapse, all is lost. Primitive rituals are exalted.
Dialect dances, esoteric theaters, innocent songs emerge from the echoes of ancient rural civilizations, which belong to us and are just waiting to be awakened. Like shamans they transmigrate into warm lands of solitude, where a swan dies and is reborn every day, trying to redeem the dormant spirits that brood in wandering empty men.
Apocalyptic and haunting bullfight.
Theology of the revolution, music and the proletariat.
In 2022 with "Protestanti" he entered the ranking of the best Italian songs for Rolling Stone. In 2023 he presents industrial “N!N!N!” at the Magnolia club in Milan. In October 2024 “Buonanotte Berlinguer” will be published, the last concrete and spiritual act, between music and socialism.
La chiusura della Trilogia del nulla!
"Buonanotte Berlinguer"
Il nuovo disco di CIGNO inizia come un sabba scatenato, inizia con l’orrore. L’orrore di chi si confronta con il distacco del proprio superiore, sia esso un’entità, un capo od un partner. Sembra che il campo d’azione, rispetto all’esordio, sia definitivamente tracimato, andando a cogliere l’intera vita, nelle sfere che la compongono, come atto drammatico e di rottura. Sin dall’immagine di copertina veniamo schiaffati davanti all’immenso, quasi gettati negli antri più oscuri dei cammini danteschi. Le percussioni, la pece e le chitarre urlanti fanno poi il resto. Un grand guignol composto da diverse pietanze, stanze e sostanze
A tratti fa paura, una paura da brividi: Pax è da brividi sulla schiena, Ogochukwu mette in mostra una giostra del dolore abietta, una Frate Dolcino vengono amputati naso e pene, una Censure e torture. Stefano cucchi tra le fiamme. Vien voglia di urlare, bestemmiare e tirar testate contro il muro per distogliersi dalle quintalate di merda sparsa in questo disco, diretta a testa e cuore, ricoprendoci di lordume.
È un brutto mondo, dipinto da un disco splendido.

From the ever-creating mind of Finnish musician Juuso Peltola (Warmoon Lord, Argenthorns, Old Sorcery, Tenebrarium and many more) comes Oneironaut, a brand new music journey along the German ambient tradition.
Oneironaut can be viewed as a distant cousin of Old Sorcery, spawned beyond a weird horizon, in another dimension alien to sword & sorcery. Slumbering in retro science fiction themes and powered by vintage synthesizers both cosmic and esoteric, Alien Gnosis aims to take the listener to a profound journey through the borders of imagination.
Oneironaut is a new piece in the collaboration between Avantgarde Music and the Finnish artist, expanding towards new galaxies. Adorned with a beautiful painting by Mara Hiltunen, Alien Gnosis is a long, fascinating path through galaxies far, far away…

French one-man melodic black metal band Inherits The Void is back with the third studio album in four years. Fifteen months after the acclaimed The Impending Fall Of The Stars, multi-instrumentalist A is back with a brand-new studio record.
As introduced by Inherits The Void mastermind A. himself, “Scars Of Yesteryears is a melodic black metal album which embodies the artistic choices initiated with its predecessor. However, Scars Of Yesteryears is more diverse in its musical influences, while wanting to be more direct and incisive in its musical approach. In this, the album draws its inspiration from both the Swedish and French Black Metal scenes with the aim of combining the stylistic visions specific to each universe.
The eight songs that follow one another in the album reflect a now more enterprising crossover between Atmospheric/Melodic Black Metal and early Melodic Death Metal, combining also more epic and doomy parts than in the past.
The theme of the album deals with the legacy left by past and present societies, whether through struggles, revolutions or even through the traces that we ourselves leave and which, themselves, lead to the destruction of our environment”.
Doubtlessly Inherits The Void’s most diverse and mature work to date, Scars Of Yesteryears succeeds in paying homage to the godfathers of the Swedish death and black metal scene, yet keeping a personal, present sound and never giving in to mere nostalgia.

While writing their upcoming album (due later this year), Remina ended up with three songs that no longer fit the album's themes as it began to take shape. Rather than let these songs become lost in the ether, these were gathered in a brand new ep, "Erebus".
Initially released digitally only in June 2024, the ep found a huge success and pushing us to offer the band a one-off only edition on vinyl and cd.

In Silence Descent, Vananidr’s fifth studio album, as the title suggests, is an exploration of darkness and despair, a vessel to a world beyond the grave. Along the eight tracks, melodies of pure Nordic melancholy mix with equal amounts of frenzy, frustration and suffering, crafting a perfect example of Scandinavian black metal. Vananidr’s lyrics have always been of the very personal sort, exploring the darkness within and the utter disgust for humanity.
The massive drum sound was captured in an old church at NBS productions (Necromorbus studio) by Anders Eriksson himself, who recorded the whole album.
