Debemur Morti

YERÛŠELEM is the newest entity created by Vindsval and W.D.Feld (BLUT AUS NORD).

The project’s name speaks of an incalculable vastness of contemplation within: YERÛŠELEM’s sound is a congruent melding of powerfully bass-heavy Godfleshian clank and grind, the sacred ur-texts of Coil and Autechre, stark neo-gothic guitar leads with intimations of fusion, the freshness-into-fetid-air experimentation of back-end ‘90s Mayhem and Thorns, post-punk urbanity, psychedelic dreamgaze, subterranean industrial pulses and the crunching rhythmic crispness of modernist electronica.

“Lost Empyrean” is as dynamic and multi-faceted as it is crushing and furious. Like the crashing of waves, sludgy, doom-laden riffs ebb and flow into calm ambience and sonorous post-metal atmosphere. Dour roars relax into despondent clean vocals and spoken word. With their latest masterpiece, DIRGE weave a tapestry of fluid contradictions. Melodic and dissonant, hopeful and desperate, tranquil and tempestuous, “Lost Empyrean” is not simply a record to be heard, but to be surrendered to.

First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

Simply put, Malediction is a statement of intent. A purely Satanic album, in the band's eyes, and one which draws a line firmly in the sand, this is pure Southern Vassaforian Hell driven to the outer reaches of primitivism and transcendence. Here, VASSAFOR strip bare their most barbaric tendencies, down to their most unapologetic form, and build anew a temple of unimaginable might. The maw of chaos opens ever wide, beckoning the listener to submit and be devoured; meanwhile, tendrils of tension untether in a manner most ambient. If any of VASSAFOR's earlier work achieved a sense of vertigo - and it surely has - then Malediction is the band's most potent distillation/distortion of such yet. Across a time-evaporating/halting 50 minutes, each of the five tracks comprising Malediction work as mantra and spell simultaneously. Doom(ier) elements are largely traded for utter violence and virulence, which somehow makes the end result all the more stultifying and psychedelic in equal measure.



 

Rosetta's fourth full-length album. Music for Astronauts !
"It’s a coalescing of strengths into a tightly executed and emotionally charged post metal album that may be their best yet, given time to sink in. The band’s sludgy intonations, monolithic soundscapes, lush ambience and pepperings of shoegaze paired with Mike Armine throaty vocals are all in tow."

The darkness of the mighty abyss founds a new dimensional cold battlefield...bestia arcana had been unbounded!

 

Acknowledged as one of New Zealand’s finest and filthiest Black-Death metal bands, VASSAFOR mark the beginning of their collaboration with Debemur Morti with a massive 3-CD set entitled "Invocations Of Darkness".

This impressive corpus of pure malevolence is intelligently collected into 3 discs representing 3 different strands of the Codex : "Mortis" for death worship, "Fatum " for doom channelling, and "Antiquitas" for the dedications to the ancestors.

"Invocations Of Darkness" is every mortal breath of VASSAFOR, every composition, from the period MMX - MMIV, available on CD for the first time.

The Poisonous Path" is a raging beast, a monstrous work straight from the hell-depths which distils a deeply mephitic climate into an addictive poison.
The production is massive, the riffing intense, the atmosphere suffocating and the melodies vicious and bewitching – pure dark sonic alchemy.

Matron Thorn, artist-creator of the bestial AEVANGELIST, and drummer G. Nefarious (PANZERGOD), now unleash their most striking work to date: "Clandestine Sacrament", the all-encompassing debut album from DEATH FETISHIST - a nightmarishly addictive sonic netherworld.

In keeping with a singular modus operandi, this alchemical creation revels in catharsis through hauntology: sickeningly uncanny extremity built upon sublimated beauty, chaos, dissonance and an ever-present, near-palpable, almost overwhelming sense of existential desperation.

DEATH FETISHIST enmesh cascades of swirling, alienating phrases inside claustrophobic song-craft to inspire grim hypnosis.

Guesting vocalists D.G. (MISþYRMING) and Doug Moore (PYRRHON)

Comes in 6-panel digipack.

Hot off the heels of their mind blowing 2016 opus “Pure”, Norway’s IN THE WOODS… return with their latest genre-destroying masterpiece, “Cease the Day”.

Continuing to refine and perfect their sound while ever expanding it in new directions, “Cease the Day” is a powerful and kaleidoscopic effort. A thunderous undercurrent of melodic riffing drives these songs forward, elements of doom, death, and progressive metal all coming together to form a cohesive whole.

Chilling ambience, psychedelia, avant-garde, and deep soaring vocals ebb and flow to craft a unique sound that truly must be heard to be believed, all before crushing the listener with the band’s most extreme moments since their debut “Heart of the Ages”.

Deus Salutis Meæ (“God of my Salvation”) is the truly mesmeric new emission from BLUT AUS NORD, the great Black Metal innovator renowned for disdain toward convention and a murderous relationship with boundaries.

Using frightening alchemy and predatory cruelty, BLUT AUS NORD fuses each distinct era of its 23 year existence with innovative readings of cavernous, arcane Death Metal, the occult excesses of outsider Industrial and the abject hauntings of psychotropic Doom

The second full length from THROANE is the most fully realised vision of enigmatic photographer/illustrator/designer Dehn Sora (BLUT AUS NORD, ULVER, DEATHSPELL OMEGA).

One of the most stunning trips of the year, Plus une Main à Mordre (“No Hand Left to Bite”) seeks balance between the struggle and the letting go, passing from chaos to quiet in revelatory circular motions.

The striking first full-length from AU CHAMP DES MORTS is a richly emotive, multi-headed manifestation of finest contemporary Black Metal song-craft.

Texturally and musically diverse, this sterling album melds the prime orchestration of predecessors ANOREXIA NERVOSA with an abundant core of atmospheric influences including black-gaze, post-rock, cold wave and post-black metal.

Consolidating and updating the earthen grandiosity perfected on classic 1996 debut Imperium, ARKONA have created the perfect synthesis of forward-reaching Pagan Black Metal, dark neo-classical melodicism, corrupted romanticism and raging existential power.

Meticulous, harmonious tremolo riffs and reverberant leads are wistful and strident in equal proportion, dovetailing seamlessly with layered orchestration to converge in emotive climatic revelation.

Water-tight rhythms cascade in rolling waves of authority; potent hyper-blasts performed on natural snare effect a ritualistic offering to the infinite. Slower movements expose the weight of the players, the gravitas, the import of the message.

Pure" is a collection of huge-sounding, all-enveloping cosmic tales - a supermassive record fusing epic Dark Metal with hook-ridden doom-tinged modernism, the mind’s eye trained far beyond the archaic firmament deep into worlds unknown.

As is their wont, BLUT AUS NORD follows up 2014's classicist Memoria Vetusta III – a truly iconic album of epic, beauteous and atmospheric Black Metal – with a dichotomous trip further into unfathomable realms of the Black Metal avant-garde. This is yet another new way.
The 4 pieces that comprise Spectral Subsonic Waves spring from the interstices between outsider black metal, noise, dark ambient, electronic psychedelia and 20th Century classical.
In a seamless transition from fevered mind into fever dream, ÆVANGELIST produce possibly the strongest single track of their rapidly burgeoning oeuvre - 20 minutes of sepulchrally intimidating, haunted and horrendous experimental black metal.

After "The Tunnels" (2011) and "The Purging" (2013) - two incredible, unreal albums internationally acclaimed for their amazingly strange singularity - TERRA TENEBROSA have pushed the boundaries of their thrilling approach to offer up a masterpiece, their finest work to date. "The Reverses" is a gloriously obscure compendium of chaotic styles, dark soundscapes and frantic elements, raised aloft to the Apocalypse.
 

"Derrière-Nous, La Lumière" is a giant wave of despair, a colossal edifice of discordant guitars and heartbreaking howling built on mid-paced and oppressive tempo, reminiscent of GODFLESH, NEUROSIS or BLUT AUS NORD. The poisonous heaviness of this insane work of Art, truly mind-melting, is dangerously addictive, intelligently repetitive and hypnotic.
The infected music of THROANE is a despereate landscape, a massive nihilistic echo crawling into the mystic depths of the human soul, at the crossroads between Industrial Black Metal, Post-Core and Dark Ambient.
With this first outstanding album, a pure injection of desolation, THROANE has positioned himself to join the elite in the obscure meanders of real underground, where creative and audacious bands are the hidden monarch of exceptional Dark Arts.
Limited to 500 copies.
