BORKNAGAR stay true to metal’s origins by letting their spirit guide them. Starting with their self-titled beginnings back in 1996, these Norwegians pushed past the boundaries set by traditional black metal. Over the course of the past 30 years, the band’s domain has come to include prog, neofolk and darkly enchanting hard rock, capped by major international tours and chart placements across the world. Eleven albums into their storied journey, they reached another creative peak on ’True North’ in 2019.
‘True North’ found BORKNAGAR at a crossroad. Half of the band’s lineup had turned over, but their longstanding members kept them on a dizzying upward trajectory. Whether picking or riffing, founder and guitarist Øystein Brun led the way, lighting a path for the versatile ICS Vortex (Arcturus, ex-Dimmu Borgir) to return to the mic. His thunderous cleans shine amidst the warm misty keys of hit single “Up North”, while his screams cut through the more hellish passages of “The Fire That Burns”. Even when hounded by “Voices”, keyboardist Lars Nedland’s resounding chorus resonated far and wide.
Loudwire named the album one of the best of 2019.

For fans of AMORPHIS, ENSLAVED, WINDIR.

THY CATAFALQUE is a metamorphic entity that’s constantly evolving, showcasing musical ingenuity that’s as limitless as it is daring.
Meaning “The Earth,” ‘Alföld’ is grounded in the Avant Garde project’s heavy beginnings.
While the record takes a cue from THY CATAFALQUE’s early days, mastermind Tamás Kátai’s modern progressive instincts shine through, elevating the record beyond the realm of metal as-you-know-it and once again creating a cutting-edge sound that’s far ahead of its time.

Silent Deep Ocean presents In Dark Eternity, a harrowing and transcendent journey into the depths of human fragility and cosmic despair. This latest opus weaves themes of heartbreak, abandonment, depression, and the relentless ache of existential uncertainty with the evocative mythos of Emberil Tenebrinis of Tenebrine.

Once a celebrated and victorious knight of Nara-Mur, Emberil now exists as a voidwalker, condemned by his betrayal of The Verlorene—an ancient, enigmatic dragon from the Distant Shores. His soul, forever bound to the void, waits in endless solitude, consumed by the weight of his sins. The dragon, now known as "The Shadowed One on Distant Shore," drifts through the abyss, forever lost—a spectral echo of what once was.

The title In Dark Eternity carries a deeply negative connotation, reflecting the perpetual despair and hopelessness that haunts Emberil’s existence. However, it also serves as a metaphor for the complex, paradoxical nature of human resilience. In the darkest of times, when all seems lost, glimmers of hope have the potential to break through. The emptiness of eternity becomes a space for introspection and renewal—a setting for transformation that may, against all odds, lead to unexpected revelations and a quiet sense of redemption.

Tehina Spasova, known for her evocative work with Destruction of Orion, has poured immense effort into perfecting her vocals and guitar performances for this album. Balancing her commitment to Silent Deep Ocean with her personal life and artistic endeavors, Tehina has dedicated countless hours—often sacrificing personal time—to deliver the raw, unrelenting intensity that defines In Dark Eternity. Her haunting vocals, abyssal growls, and intricate guitar arrangements are a testament to her unwavering dedication, breathing life into the dark, oppressive soundscapes of the album.
