Nightingale was started off in 1994 as a solo project by Swedish multi instrumentalist and producer Dan Swanö, previously know for being vocalist and songwriter of prog death metal band Edge Of Sanity (among many other collaborations) and owner of Unisound Studios.

While the first album entitled “The Breathing Shadow” was close to Goth rock, Nightingale saw the joining of Dan´s brother Dag in 1996 as the turning point to a prog rock/metal act. The release of highly acclaimed albums like “I” (2000) or “Invisible” (2004) was the confirmation of their success. “Retribution” is finally receiving vinyl treatment this 2017 by Alone Records three years after its CD release.

LP Gatefold with printed inner sleeve limited to 350 pressings on black vinyl.

Picture disc reissue of The Congregation, Leprous´s fourth album nominated for the 2015 Spellmannprisen (Norwegian Grammy) in the category “Best Metal Album”. This album must be considered a key work for any open-minded progressive music lover. Deep lyrics that shade serious matters of a modern life are masterly threaded into sharp, clear and tremendous musical arrangements from the first listen.

 Leprous keeps developing its sound but, like in any of the band’s previous releases, The Congregation still keeps the authentic identity and recognizability from their previous works. Moments when Leprous surprise, experiment and freely explore within their music building their strength, fuel their power and make them so special in 21^st century prog music.

 This edition is presented as Double Picture Disc LP, with Trifold jacket and printed inner sleeves, limited to 500 copies worldwide.

“Stolen & Contaminated Songs” was recorded and produced by Coil in 1992. It is comprised of over 60 minutes of outtakes and unreleased songs, evolved during the recording sessions for their prior album, “Love’s Secret Domain”. A wealth of superb material showcasing the diversity of Coil: dark, violent, vivid and fractured, yet cohesive and beautiful. Combined with the latest studio technology and Coil’s ever-evolving production skills, “S&C Songs” walks a fine line between tradition and innovation, continually creating semi-abstract soundscapes with a cinematic quality.

In the frozen vasts of Europe's northernmost realms, a new slithering seed is festering at the heart of the Swedish scene - NIGHT CROWNED. A spawn formed from an unholy communion between current and previous members of the underground elite such as  The Crown, Dark Funeral, Nightrage and Cipher system, this infestation is set to grow from a rumoured disease into a full-scale pandemic. 

NIGHT CROWNED's musical vision is as clear as it is putrid; a reawakening of sounds dormant from the most influential acts and masterpieces of the Scandinavian 90's, although with all the advantages of a cutting edge, surgically precise production. 

Official VENOM 72 piece jigsaw puzzle which is shaped like classic 7” Vinyl EPs and come in their own re-useable packaging.

The Black Metal classic and the EP debut of Dark Funeral is finally back in the original mix and with the original artwork! Since their foundation in 1993 the band belongs to the spearhead of the Scandinavian Black Metal scene, next to comrades-in-arms like Marduk, Dissection, Necrophobic, Mayhem, Gorgoroth or Darkthrone. The 1994 debut EP left the Swedish scene in shock for the first time. Hammerheart / Plastic Head unleashes the 4-track monster once again as vinyl on mankind.
