An essential cornerstone of mid-90's Norwegian Black Metall.
---------
To fans of black metal, Dødheimsgard need no introduction, being as they are one of the great purveyors of the Norwegian Black Metal creative evolution. The band was formed in 1994 by Aldrahn (Thorns) and Vicotnik (Ved Buens Ende). The early incarnation was that of a raw and at times melodic black metal band, with their debut album 'Kronet Til Konge' also featuring Darkthrone’s Fenriz on bass.
Over time Dødheimsgard became known as one of the premier avantgarde black metal acts after a stylistic shift away from their more old-school origins, as displayed on the band’s most recent output; ‘A Umbra Omega’ and 2023's universally-lauded magnum opus, 'Black Medium Current'.
SPECIAL COMBINED RELEASE INCLUDING FLEURETY’S HARD TO FIND 1999 EP, PLUS THE RARE “I LEFT THE PLANET” PROJECT TRACKS FROM 1996 INCLUDING MEMBERS OF VED BUENS ENDE/AURA NOIR. WITH NEWLY REMASTERED AUDIO.
Fleurety was formed in Ytre Enebakk, Norway in 1991, & is known for pioneering an experimental & boundary-breaking approach to black metal, integrating a variety of styles beyond purely metallic ones. The band has released three studio albums to date, plus a string of EPs, & has primarily existed as a duo featuring guitarist Alexander Nordgaren (formerly live guitarist for Norwegian legends, Mayhem) & drummer/vocalist Svein Egil “Zweizz” Hatlevik (Umoral, Strid, ex-Dødheimsgard) throughout their full history.
Fleurety was considered a slight oddity to the rest of the Norwegian movement at the time of their inception, for developing an altogether different style with more dynamic musical influences & obscure/non-traditional riffing. Following on from the ‘Black Snow’ demo in 1993 & the ‘A Darker Shade Of Evil’ 7” the following year, the band presented their full-length debut to the world in the shape of ‘Min Tid Skal Komme’; an exquisite & revered journey through dark & often introspective soundscapes.
‘Last Minute Lies’ was originally released in 1999, preceding the band’s second full-length album, ‘Department Of Apocalyptic Affairs’ & introduced a taste of the demented sophistication yet to come through their ongoing penchant for the strange & bizarre. The result was a mind-bending (or expanding) voyage of eccentricity within the metal genre, presenting a new masterclass in avantgarde mood-setting in the process.
Also included in this special release is the rare “I Left The Planet” project recordings from 1996, where Nordgaren was joined by a number of guests for this anomaly of dark & poetic jazzy-metal, notably featuring fellow prodigy of avant-garde metal & percussionist extraordinaire, Carl-Michael Eide of Ved Buens Ende/Aura Noir.
On what is the 35th anniversary of the band’s formation, this edition of ‘Last Minute Lies/I Left The Planet’ is presented on CD format including booklet with full lyrics, with audio specially remastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Studios for this release.
1993'S PIONEERING SECOND STUDIO ALBUM OF ATMOSPHERIC & PROGRESSIVE DOOM ROCK FROM THE GATHERING. PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD.
The Gathering is a Dutch alternative rock band founded in 1989 by brothers Hans & René Rutten & vocalist Bart Smits. The early incarnation of the band featured a much more death & doom metal based style than the more atmospheric rock & experimental music which they became known for over the years, having enjoyed a highly successful career globally to date. The band recorded 2 demos initially before making their studio debut with ‘Always…’ (1992).
‘Almost A Dance’ was the second studio album by the band, released originally in 1993 on Foundation 2000 Records. The album was produced by Tom Holkenborg who became famous as Junkie XL. On this album, The Gathering left death growls & their death-doom influences aside, in favour of a more progressive rock/metal sound with clean vocals & a strong foundation for what the band would continue to evolve into, which is clearly apparent in the guitar arrangements & sublime soundscapes created.
This edition of 'Almost A Dance' is presented on mid-price CD format, including an eight page booklet with full lyrics.
Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/1990. The genre-classic debut ‘Scorn Defeat’ followed on Euronymous’ Deathlike Silence Productions in 1993 & with each subsequent release, Sigh grew to become one of the country’s greatest & most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange & the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field whilst maintaining their old school roots, as witnessed with the stellar 2022 album, ‘Shiki’. 2025 also saw Sigh remaking their ‘Hangman’s Hymn’ album for a release on Peaceville as part of the band’s 35th anniversary celebrations, in the shape of ‘I Saw The World’s End: Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV’.
Featuring the line-up of Mirai Kawashima, Shinichi Ishikawa & Satoshi Fujinami, Sigh created arguably their darkest work to date with third album ‘Hail Horror Hail’ in 1997; an epic of nightmare-inducing soundscapes & lyrics concerning topics such as murder & mortality. With at times more melodic compositions compared to its predecessors & a more traditionally metallic experience than some of the material witnessed on the cult ‘Ghastly Funeral Theatre’ EP released not long before, Sigh continued to embrace deeply atmospheric & symphonic elements, along with what was now becoming an increasingly experimental added dimension to their art, in creating this at times unnerving horror masterpiece.
Continuing with Peaceville’s re-issues of Sigh’s classic early ( & until now, hard to find ) works, this edition of ‘Hail Horror Hail’ contains a new master created by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, featuring a new transfer from the original DAT source.
The release also includes a bonus disc containing rough mixes of album tracks, plus other rarities, along with a new interview with main-man Mirai Kawashima conducted by Dayal Patterson of Cult Never Dies, with his thoughts & reflections on the album, the recording process & the influences surrounding its creation.

Maintaining the core trio of Mirai Kawashima, Shinichi Ishikawa & Satoshi Fujinami & on the back of the epic & darkly symphonic opus ‘Infidel Art’ (1995), Sigh adopted a more boundary-defying approach to their writing, whilst still keeping the dark foundations & traits of the band’s fundamental sound. The result was ‘Ghastly Funeral Theatre’ which surfaced in 1997 & draped in Eastern & horror-based atmospherics, the band also embraced elements outside of metal with what was their most experimental offering to date; utilising instruments such as the saxophone as well as acoustic passages & notoriously drawing comparisons to the moods of bands such as The Beatles at times, featuring catchy hooks & structures in line with the rock music genre, but masterfully woven into Sigh’s unique blackened metal tapestry.

COINCIDING WITH THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF GODKILLER’S FINAL FULL-LENGTH ALBUM OF DARK METAL WITH INDUSTRIAL & ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS.
Formati nel 1993 a Monaco, i GODKILLER sono stati il frutto della visione del polistrumentista e fondatore Duke Satanaël, che tra il 1996 e il 2000 ha pubblicato un EP e due album, a partire dal cult classico black metal “The Rebirth Of The Middle Ages”. Sebbene inizialmente fosse un gruppo più ispirato al DEATH METAL, i Godkiller si sono rapidamente evoluti in un progetto completamente immerso nello spirito del BLACK METAL degli anni '90, ricordando gruppi come Emperor e Satyricon per l'implementazione di atmosfere forti, anche poi incorporando elementi più INDUSTRIAL ed elettronici nelle composizioni, come parte della loro evoluzione creativa.
Copia nuova e mai suonata, ma arrivata con un lieve (lieve!) danno alla copertina (un angolo della sleeve ha subito una leggera botta), per cui in vendita a forte sconto rispetto al prezzo di listino
MYSTICUM’S NEW ALBUM, ’PLANET SATAN’. THE LONG-AWAITED & ALREADY LEGENDARY MILESTONE IN BLACK METAL SUPREMACY FROM THE NORWEGIAN PIONEERS.
KATATONIA'S CLASSIC 1997 RELEASE OF TIMELESS DEATH/DOOM MELANCHOLY, FEATURING MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT ON VOCALS.
Katatonia was formed in 1991 by Anders Nystrom & Jonas Renkse. Their debut album, 'Dance Of December Souls', was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal & joining acts such as Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride as one of the genre's defining bands. On future albums a newer, sleeker Katatonia sound came to the fore, starting with a streamlined & structured collection of melodic dark rock songs that became third album 'Discouraged Ones'; widely regarded as the main evolution point for what eventually became modern day Katatonia.
In the wake of 1996's epic & sublime 'Brave Murder Day', which further established the Swedes as one of the leaders of melancholic metal, the 1997 EP 'Sounds Of Decay' continued with this masterful blend of sombre melodic & hypnotic death doom metal. 'Sounds Of Decay' was recorded at Stockholm's Sunlight Studios & notably featured Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt on vocals.
This edition of 'Sounds Of Decay' is presented on digipack CD format & includes the bonus track 'Untrue', which was not originally included on the 1997 release.
The 35th Anniversary Edition will be released in November 2025 as a marbled LP reissue.
Hardcover Digibook with 20-page booklet affixed to the middle.
Includes 5 bonus tracks. Special 2-disc release combining live & studio rarities from Polish death metal masters, as featured on the "Conjuration" & "Slaves Shall Serve" EPs.
