Bilwis is a Melodic Black Metal solo-project from Germany. The concept of Bilwis comprises old European fairy tales and myths, clothing them in a garment of raw, yet melodic and atmospheric Black Metal with German lyrics - a journey to the world of forgotten dreams, wolves, ghosts, dwarfs, mermaids, trolls, elves, vampires & giants.

"The Candlelight Tomes" is the next album that reveals the new map installment in Gelure's world, Vrodonoth. Journey with the Secluded Wizard through this newly uncovered territory as he maps this world of ancient magick, deep mystical forests and glorious saga-engraved dwarven fortresses.

The continent of Vrodonoth has several species living on it, primarily the races of Men, Dwarves and Halflings. Situated just to the east of Akûlon, listeners may observe both maps of Akûlon and Vrodonoth (each included with the respective DigiCD) and journey through this vibrant world with the music painting each step of the way.

Follow the Secluded Wizard as he shares his tome-bound knowledge with the listener; travelling through candlelit dungeons, frosted ice meadows, vibrant deep-oaken woodlands, ancient bygone halls, withered ruins and much more.

Collector's Edition in 4-panel Digipack, incl. a map of the territory, limited to 500 copies.

A lost forgotten world, Akulon, is brought back to light after the days of old for the listeners to explore. Using the linked map, the listeners may use it to immerse themselves in the various landscapes portrayed in this album. From the same universe as Fathomage's "Necrohermitage of the Emotionally Starved", "Into the Chesfern Wood" brings a different experience to the world of Akulon and its inhabitants.

Los Males Del Mundo combines today's modern Black Metal sound with late 90's melodic Black Metal, with lyrics deeply influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche, Emil Cioran and A. Schopenhauer.

The band was first created in 2016 as a project between Dany Tee (Acathexis, Downfall of Nur) and Cristian Yans. Nikita Kamprad (Der Weg Einer Freiheit) later joined as a producer and guest musician.

In October 2020 a promotional self-titled EP with two tracks was released through Bandcamp.

Their first full length album, “Descent Towards Death,” containing 5 tracks of 40 minutes length, is an invitation to a conceptual journey, dragging the listener into the darkest and remotest places of the human soul. It reflects an internal battle, expressed as changes between aggressive and furious passages on the one hand, and dense and introspective landscapes full of melancholic melodies on the other.

Formed as a secretive solo project in 2013 in the Isle of Wight to express feelings of isolation, introspection and esoteric emotions, Ethereal Shroud practices black metal with challenging song structures and lengths. The songs are cinematic, engaging with melodic riffs and hugely atmospheric soundscapes with layers that unravel with close listening, repeating motifs and progressive undertones that revel in subtlety as opposed to showy displays. They show to you only as much as you put in, rewarding you for dedication - created entirely by himself in isolation.

Trisagion continues this trend with more investment in production, more aggression, tighter performances and more emphasis on challenging songwriting. Lyrically focussing on resentment to fascism, esoteric emotions towards a world crumbling to its own cycle of greed and destruction and a response to personal traumas. Trisagion is an unrepenting album that pulls no punches, unforgivingly unaccessible in its presentation that unravels only as much as you're willing to dedicate to it. Joseph Hawker's new vision was assisted by incredible musicians for the first time. This is Black Metal for those who wish to get entirely invested and lost in its deep, introspective layers of resentment and guilt.

The CD will include the bonus track "Lanterns" that is exclusive for physical editions.

Collector's Edition in 4-panel Digipack with 8-page booklet.

Autumn Nostalgie was formed back in 2010 from the ashes of the Dark Ambient project "Fekete Erdő" as a one-man band. For ten years almost nothing had been released, up until 2020 when the debut album „Esse Est Percipi” came out, receiving excellent feedback from fans and critics alike.

The sophomore album „Ataraxia” is ideologically a continuation of the debut, although it tries to interpret the raised philosophical and metaphysical problems from other points of view. Musically, it is closest to Atmospheric / Post Black Metal

Influenced by bands such as Caladan Brood, Elderwind, Saor and Gallowbraid, Cân Bardd was founded in 2016 as a one‐man project by then 18 year old Malo Civelli from Switzerland, with the purpose of creating an outlet for his feelings and ideas that would be at once heavy and aggressive, yet also melodic and atmospheric. Dylan Watson later joined him as permanent drummer. With the first two albums Cân Bardd already managed to enthrall a lot of fans in the Atmospheric Black Metal community, and with “Devoured by the Oak” the band set their sights even higher. The goal was to create a perfect blend of the strengths of the first two albums ‐ the ambience, textures and atmosphere of the debut, and the composition and quality of the sophomore album, culminating in a more mature sound and a more intense experience for the listener. To reach that goal the band once again teamed up with Vladimir Cochet as producer and asked the painter Michael Handt to create a very unique oil painting for the cover.

Depressive Black Metal outfit Ghost Bath return from touring Europe and North America in support of Starmourner (2017) and the vice-like grip of the pandemic with striking new album, Self Loather. In many ways, Self Loather, the group’s 4th album, represents Ghost Bath’s forward trajectory (musical) and continued exploration of antipathy of the self (lyrical), but unlike any album before it and as the final piece in the Moonlover-Starmourner-Self Loather triptych, it’s the group’s most destructive yet contemplative record to date. While that might have something to do with everyone contributing - though founding member Dennis Mikula remains the visionary core - the unquestionable allure of Self Loather is its songs. From the raw strength of opening track “Convince Me to Bleed” and the melancholy of the strings/piano-driven “Sanguine Mask” to the grandiose horror of “Hide from the Sun” and the slow-burn groove of “Unbearable,” this is Ghost Bath at their creative best

Limited edition of 199 copies on transparent turquoise vinyl, incl. 4-page insert & download.

Nietzsche's Zarathustra created the mountain beneath him where he could only teach himself. He went down among the people in this infinite joy. But still he returned and plunged into the Gogolian depths of desperation. He left his work to the world, just as Gogol let the dead souls be lost among the flames. Joy and loneliness were both present on the mountain, where Zarathustra finally found nothing but himself.

Limited edition of  199 copies on black vinyl, incl. printed innersleeve.

With their 4th album "Heralds Of Strife", Vallendusk created a triumphant and uplifting album that is more optimistic in approach and delivery than your average Black Metal release. The songs are classic-styled Melodic Black Metal, but with a modern, somewhat brighter sheen than normal, allowing the band to bring in their own personality and individuality, distinct from so many others.

Collector's Edition in 6-panel Digipack, limited to 500 copies.

Skratte was founded as a solo-project by Hevnbrann in 2012 in order to materialize his musical vision. Skratte's words treat hatred, misanthropy and damnation - a lyrical reflection of a world that is devoid of any deity and can only be held in place through the devotion of every single natural spirit.

Inspired by the coldness and brutality of Norwegian Black Metal as well as the characteristic versatility and harmonious playing of the French, Skratte combines the most diverse elements and motives in its distinct sounds, and should especially appeal to fans of Taake, Ungfell, Aaskereia or earlier works of Ulver. With “Akt I – Ein Feuer entfacht”, you will be able to discover a multifarious piece of art for yourself.

Eternal is the third album from Scottish Celtic metal project Ruadh.

The goal of this album was to create a consistent concept that would serve for this one release, this is by very definition a Concept album which is intended to be listened to from start to finish, it won’t be an easy one to pick up and listen to a track it’s designed to be more of a journey.
