Avantgarde Music

Formed in 2020 by AS, Inherits The Void is a French project of atmospheric and melodic black metal, inspired by the frozen visions of Vinterland, the incantatory fury of Misþyrming, and the melodic intensity of Dawn.

Since its inception, the project has explored the tension between melody and atmosphere, blending emotional intensity with celestial melancholy. Through several releases - Monolith of Light (2021), The Impending Fall of the Stars (2023), Scars of Yesteryears (2024), all released via Avantgarde Music - Inherits The Void has established itself as a singular voice within the modern French black metal scene.

The Silent Abscission, the fourth Inherits The Void studio album, is a true turning point: a concept album about erasure, cosmic implosion, and isolation. Conceived as a journey through eight visions, it moves between incantatory convulsions and silent abysses, leading to an inevitable and overwhelming resolution. Like the collision of celestial bodies, the music whirls, riffs lash, dissonances burn, and harmonies collapse into silence. A total black metal experience, where matter and spirit are consumed within the same incantation, standing at the frontier between despair and eternity.

After a whole decade of silence, Downfall Of Nur is back with a new album. The studio project born from Italian-born Antonio Sanna is finally ready to give a proper follow up to the acclaimed debut Umbras de Barbagia (2015). And the Firmament will Burn to Quench the Pain of this Earth unfolds as a profound reflection on the ancestral memory and deeply rooted symbols of Sardinia.
At its core lies the dual figure of the feminine: the Mother Goddess, an ancient archetype associated with fertility, the earth, and permanence, represented in the prehistoric iconography of Sardinia, and human mothers, silent protagonists who carry the restrained sorrow of mourning their children lost to ancestral conflicts, such as the disamistade, a ritualized enmity deeply embedded in Sardinian cultural memory.
The album’s central narrative revolves around the transition of an individual caught in these ancient cycles of hostility. Upon shedding his physical form, his spirit merges with the archetype of the Mother Goddess, an ancestral presence embodying the exhaustion provoked by the endless repetition of violence and death. This union marks a threshold: an essential act of purification that confronts oblivion and halts the ceaseless recurrence of suffering.
Though not explicitly named, the mothers form the ethical and emotional foundation of the work. Their grief transcends the individual and extends into the collective, shaping the social memory and the ontological relationship between human beings and the land they inhabit. The Mother Goddess and the mothers symbolically intertwine, revealing the rupture between humanity and the earth that sustains it. The album posits a breaking point: the weariness of the Mother Goddess in the face of perpetual cycles of vengeance, death, and forgetting. This rupture is not presented as punitive, but as an inevitable act of purification, fire consuming what has been denied by collective memory.
And the Firmament Will Burn to Quench the Pain of This Earth calls for attentive and contemplative listening. It is not a linear or conclusive narrative, but a fragmented ritual space that opens the way to multiple layers of interpretation, where history, mythology, and human mourning converge. Ultimately, the album stands as an act of living memory—a tribute to Sardinia as a sacred, wounded land, bearer of silenced histories—and an invitation to recognize, through listening, the profound sorrow that resides in the broken bond between man, woman, earth, and the divine.

Barren Canyon, the reclusive Canadian act formed by the mysterious duo of multi-instrumentalists Maikan and Absent, re-emerge with A Virulent Steam, their second release for Avantgarde Music after eight years of silence. Whereas 2018’s World of Wounds contrasted bursts of metal with cold ambient passages, Barren Canyon now return transformed, melding their influences into a tempered miasmic haze. Warmer synth tones drift and swell like a toxic fog, diffusing into harsher textures.

Taking the idea of “atmospheric metal” seriously and literally, A Virulent Stream draws both musically and lyrically upon themes of noxious air, suffocation, and the airborne contaminants of industrial society. The very cover picture is a statement in itself, as the band chose “Smoke from the continuously operating steel plants gives Birmingham its
spectacular nighttime red-orange glow” by Leroy Woodson to visually introduce their opus.

Olde Throne is a melodic and atmospheric black metal band born in a time when main composer and frontman Harrison McKenzie was living in Glencoe, Scotland. Even after moving back to his native New Zealand, McKenzie felt deeply inspired by his experience in the highlands, and this project was the result of such inspiration. Olde Throne released two studio albums under this monicker, An Gorta Mór (2022) and In the Land of Ghosts (2023). Two years later, the man from Christchurch signs with Italian long-standing label Avantgarde Music to release their third full-length album, Megalith.

Two years in its creation, Megalith is a primal journey into the depths of prehistory. Where previous albums explored the strife of 19th-century Ireland (An Gorta Mór) and the spectral lore of 17th- and 18th-century Scotland (In the Land of Ghosts), Megalith delves into the primordial darkness of the Neolithic age. Drawing inspiration from stories of Celtic mythology, the album’s narrative is rooted in tales dating back as far as 10,000 BC. The use of flutes, throat singing and tribal drums forges an immersive brand of Neolithic Black Metal.

Void of Hope is a Finnish black metal trio born during a recording session. The whole album was composed and recorded in five days in the studio with -30°, -35° outside and in complete darkness for most of the day. Screams took place later and were recorded in 2 days.

Void of Hope includes members from Moonlight Sorcery and Ondfødt and consider themselves influenced by bands like Gris, Silencer, Lifelover, Coldworld and Austere.

Void of Hope can be a place or a state of mind, and their debut album Proof Of Existence is a journey through mental health and depression, the outcome of which may be triumph or giving up. Proof Of Existence started as depressive black metal but grew into much more.

Void of Hope is not an anonymous band, yet they do not consider their identities relevant, as regardless of what names are printed in the album, the music is all that matters.

The horrors of reality are the proof of your existence, and they will be brought to you via Avantgarde Music on January 31st, 2025.

2017 / First press sealed

"The Sachem's Tales is an amazing work of solid, agonizing and intense feelings cutting black metal. Behind the music there lies a melodic agreement with the guitars and the synthesizer sounds, kind of giving a counterpoint to each, but all joining in the end for fantastic melodic landscapes. From worlds of mythologies and legends, the lyrics never saturate, even on the predictable despair of the clean female voice and strings moments."

Let the moonclad twilight veil the forests once again!

Moonlight Sorcery is a Finnish black metal trio formed in early 2018. The band’s black metal is a symphonic and melodic variety by nature. Inspired by many black metal classics as well as classic heavy metal and melodic death metal, the band indeed has a huge palette of influences, which is directly reflected in the versatility of the song material.

Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity, the band first EP, was worked on as the icy winds blew and winter did its magic. In all the peace and quiet. The silver-saturated nights of the moon rushed to the melodies that breathe sorrow and the eternal majesty of the cold stars.

Grey With Black Marbling [Smoky Grey]

Three years after their fascinating debut, Suicide Forest is back with Reluctantly, a sophomore album which further develops their art. Taking their name from the Japanese Aokigahara forest, where many troubled 
people travel to end their life, the one-man band from Tucson, Az., moves from classic depressive black metal coordinates and expands their sound palette. As a result, Reluctantly settles somewhere in between DSBM, atmospheric black metal and post-black/blackgaze.
The perfect company for restless souls, Reluctantly reminds of the eerie keyboard patterns of Burzum and the dilated atmospheres of contemporary US black metal pillars like Ash Borer, mixed with some unpredictable twists such as dissonant riffs and solos. Suicide Forest will please both those looking for furious up-tempos and the more introvert blacksters, looking for a sanctuary from the outside world.
Multi-instrumentalist and mastermind A.Kruger wrote Reluctantly in the second half of 2019, before the pandemic struck us all, but began tracking the album at his home studio in early 2020. About the lyrics, when asked what themes inform his work, he plainly replied: The whole album focuses
on the themes of resent and isolation, feelings that were only compounded considering the entirety of Reluctanlty was recorded during the covid-19 lockdown”.
