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.”

Seer's Fire is an atmospheric/epic black metal One-man project formed in 2016, based on fantasy themes, from Netherlands (Utrecht).
 

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.

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

With its inception in New York City in 2018, Morbid Sphere was born an heir to the location's long legacy of dark and oppressive death metal. Among its primary influences, the band perhaps unsurprisingly mentions Incantation, fellow denizens of the same depraved metropolis whose well-established and recognizable body of work is reflected in Morbid Sphere's initial recordings. Said parallel aside, this relatively newfound quartet's sound has been shaped by a variety of influences that give it multiple dimensions and thus distinguish it from what one might be led to expect based simply on its place of origin and assigned subgenre. Similarly to the legendary Disembowelment of a continent far-removed, Morbid Sphere takes advantage of the space between notes and beats just as effectively as it conjures those elements themselves. The band also reaches outside the typical boundaries of death metal in drawing inspiration from the works of Ved Buens Ende and Virus, in particular through its use of progressive and unorthodox melodic ideas.

Hailing from the thriving-yet-oft-overlooked Spanish black metal scene, Beyond Death's Throne were founded in 2018 in Llavorsí, Catalan Pyrenees by Kzanhagr and M.Ptah.Smrt, members of Arkhaeth, Necroracle, and other related projects. The duo's debut recording, Haphazard Ethos, comprises four epic tracks for a total of 27 minutes, praising and hailing those who still believe that the past is alive, and will certainly live forever in the dark and torturous mind of Beyond Death's Throne!
