CD reissue of the classic second full-length from from the Italian black-doom metal icons, CULTUS SANGUINE.

Combining elements of doom, goth, and black metal, Italy's Cultus Sanguine released a pair of well-regarded albums in the 1990s (Shadows Blood and The Sum of All Fears) before ceasing operations in 2001. After reconvening as a live entity in 2018, the band returned to the studio and completed their third long-player, Dust Once Alive.

Back from the depths of Okinawan graves, dead souls chant occult folklore tales from the ancient Ryukyu realms.
Seiden is the only Black Metal band existent in Okinawa (JP), strongly sourced by original and edgy black metal (from Mayhem to Portal), with powerful drums, 8 sting guitars and evilish undertone vocals the sonic experience of Seiden is similar to deep diving into an ocean of ghosts and shadows.
Seiden is playing live with traditional Okinawa Taiko and Shamisen　which crafts a unique atmosphere unique to the undergrounds of Okinawa.

A collection of ugly and beautiful tales played by anguished spooks.
Finally the heretic Japanese black metal YVONXHE had completed their second album. With the appearance of a solemn relic, a flood of beautiful melodies that control a sense of loneliness are constructed by layering chords as vivid as fresh blood, creating a new frontier of black metal! What will you witness? Be invited to the dark valley where Spooks dwell...

This album, written between 2022 and 2024, is thematically a continuation of the previous album (Genetic Grief). It explores the past through the lens of our ancestors and is a link to the present. One of the bridges linking the past and the present is nature. Nature, which has witnessed everything, has seen everything and brings the knowledge and stories of our ancestors to us. In this album, the focus is on the ancient Georgian tree cult, which existed in Georgia before our era. Our ancestors believed that the souls of dead people moved into the tree branches and leaves. To me, this is the most beautiful formulation of the state after death among all the versions presented by religions. The nature of Georgia holds many secrets; my goal and desire is to delve as deeply as possible into these stories and to feel them as intensely as possible.
