After the big success of “Futile” in 1999, Rapture released the sophomore “Songs For The Withering”, following the path traced two years.

Austin Lunn from Panopticon would say on the album: “This album is for me, the joy and comfort in melancholy... The bittersweet sound track to autumn, the echoes of rainy days... Nostalgic yet relevant but above all, an honest and relatable glimpse into human sorrow.  It is a warm but wet blanket, reminding me of worse days and how I fucking made it through: One foot in front of the other, consoled by the honest and exposing lyrics, powerful melodies and crushing drums of Rapture’s unsung masterpiece. Before the last breath, inhaling. Before the final death, to exhale and never let hope die that I would one day conquer the great distance.”

Giving a follow up to a masterpiece like Black shining leatherà was hard, but C.F. confirms their unique class in creating a waird opus like this, true Black Metal.
 

Comes in a 4-panel digipack with a 16-page booklet. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

Gatefold sleeve, double LP in opaque blue vinyls

Russian blackgaze duo Olhava is back with their sixth studio album. Memorial continues the path opened by Sacrifice. After the burning, there is stillness. Time spent among what remains. Ashes settle, memory lingers, and the question is no longer how to begin again, but what can finally be released.

Memorial moves through remembrance toward letting go and acceptance — a quiet reconciliation with what cannot be carried further. It speaks from a single, unpersonified voice: a shared human state shaped by loss, exhaustion, love, and the fragile will to endure. At its center stands a forest hut: not a physical place, but a retreat of the mind. A solitary structure in the woods, an escape from the collapsing outer world, where everything decays, familiar bonds loosen, and people drift apart and return changed. The hut becomes a memorial itself — an obelisk in the forest, a burial site for former lives, a place one returns to alone to contemplate what remains.

Swiss-Finnish avant-garde trio’s new exorcism is a haunting swell of psychedelic doom and krautrock alchemy. Swiss-Finnish sonic explorers Sum Of R return with Spectral, their most haunting and possessed work to date. This nine-track, shape-shifting journey delves deep into ritualistic psychedelia, experimental doom and a surreal fusion of krautrock influences - using these elements as creative tools to explore the mutation of sound.

 With Embrace of Memory (originally released in 2005), Darkestrah reaffirmed their status as one of the most distinctive bands in the black metal scene integrating traditional melodies, instruments, and rhythms into an intense and atmospheric sound that reflects both their cultural roots and their continued evolution.

Founded in Kyrgyzstan and now based in Europe, the band has long stood apart for blending the raw power of black metal with the rich traditions of Central Asian music.
