Spanish doom/post-metal quintet Ikarie is back with their sophomore album Arde, two years after the acclaimed debut Cuerpos En Sombra. Here is how the band introduces their work…

“If Cuerpos En Sombra was about pain, Arde is about transformative rage. In the first part we presented a series of characters and desolate places, with bodies and souls sunk in misery and mud, of ghosts who are victims but are not aware of the fact that they are being victims.

In this part of the trilogy that doesn’t happen, although the denunciation and lamentation is maintained, it is no longer spoken of the land in that sense but of burning everything for a new beginning, from that fire, so deep and painful, which hanges the shape of things, like magma and the creation of stars, like a collision of planets, there is no way back after that.

With the advice of a forensic psychologist and criminologist, we have selected passages from history, victims and paradigmatic and tremendous characters that exemplify Hannah Arendt’s concept of the “banality of evil” properly, because as a society we are part of it, and therefore, it is a call to revolution.”

Pioneering French dark atmospheric music since 1996, Dark Sanctuary is back with their eighth album, Cernunnos, the first in fourteen years. Following the EP Iterum released in 2022, it marks the group's return to the front of the stage.

Cernunnos is an ancient Gaulish god who embodied the biological cycle of nature, simultaneously reflecting life and death, germination and decay, like the deer, the animal that represents him, who loses its antlers in winter to recover them in spring. This title perfectly symbolizes the history of Dark Sanctuary after these years of artistic break and this rebirth.

Composed during the year 2022, the 11 songs of this album make it one of the most varied that Dark Sanctuary have made so far, oscillating between what has characterized the band for two decades and new musical horizons. Both dark and emotional, Cernunnos is a new milestone in the history of the group.

An album that evokes an inclination that it was crafted in two planes of existence simultaneously.
Synths warble and vibrate as an ever sinister presence harkening one’s own demise.
The guitars are caught in an endless duel, striking and clashing with a relentless fury.
Ravenous vocals and expressive drums seek to anchor these two elemental forces, providing focal points within the madness.
A nightmarish journey into hysteria that is as rewarding as it is punishing.

CD in Digipak with 20-page booklet incl. lyrics, liner notes and pictures

In 1991, ROTTING CHRIST planted the seeds to their legacy with the release of their first ever EP, ‘Passage to Arcturo’.
The offering demonstrates the band’s feral infancy as they set forth on their journey to define their sound as we know it today.
Now, Season of Mist is reissuing this long-out-of-print gem to celebrate the band’s now-storied legacy.

For fans of BATHORY, VENOM, CELTIC FROST, SLAYER (early), BOLT THROWER.

“This was amongst the wave of releases on Goatowarex that were all great examples of what was going on in the higher echelons of the underground at the time, but this one especially is excellent and should be praised as a classic of the time period. Raw, no-frills black metal with true emotion and also really great live.” – Neill Jameson
