With their fourth full-length "Solastalgia", the German purveyors of soaring post metal work their way to their innermost core and deliver what is easily their most vulnerable and accessible record to date. "Solastalgia describes the grief over the loss of the natural world," the band explains. The very existence of such a term brutally exposes our alienation from this planet. While some of the albums’ songs deal with environmental issues, others focus on personal feelings and the challenges of human existence in a rapidly changing world. Heretoir has always been pure emotion. The pain of modern life set to music. And yet the desperate beauty of "Solastalgia" proves to be an unlikely source of comfort.
The joint songwriting of David, Matthias and Nils creates the new sound of Heretoir. After exploring their dark and grim side on "Nightsphere", Heretoir have gone in a different direction this time. The songs of "Solastalgia" cover a wide range of emotional and heavy music. From Modern Metal to Black Metal to Post Rock to maybe even Screamo. Whatever you want to call it: essentially, this is pure melancholy and a spark of hope in utter darkness.

From moniker to visual aesthetic and especially to the sonics themselves, HERALDIC BLAZE are encapsulating the oft-nebulous "medieval black metal" idiom with startling aplomb. While it's often difficult to discern exactly what medieval BM is other than a pithy "I know it when I hear it," HERALDIC BLAZE leave no doubt as to their intentions.

Witness their debut demo, Blazoned Heraldry. The duo of American multi-instrumentalist Argent Pale (vocals, bass, flute) and Norwegian guitarist Peregrinus (HJEMSØKT, SOLUS GRIEF, KVAD, UNHOLY CRAFT) create a spellbinding tapestry of rustic tones and textures. In fact, on texture alone - kinda clean and clanging, yet with more than a hint of ghostly grit and almost surfy reverb - HERALDIC BLAZE stand out, but it's how they utilize those textures in the service of songwriting: winding and wild, frothing up to an almost-dangerous delirium, but more often than not leaving wide-open spaces to let their medieval melodicism bend and sway with bravado and bittersweetness. And as actual flute flutters in from time to time, the sum effect, more often than not, is ALIEN - unsettling and alluring in equal measure.

While "merely" a demo recording, HERALDIC BLAZE's first work already trounces most modern works of "black metal." Unorthodox and unbound, Blazoned Heraldry is mandatory listening for fans of Sühnopfer, Ungfell, Grylle, Heltekvad, and particularly mid-2000s Peste Noire.

What kind of emotions guides us when we feel the loss of hope and the whole life seems to be nothing but a mournful bridge over a river of tears? One got to live ones life, and bear all the pain and sorrows, sadness and depression. Fatal for the majority, these dark emotions may become the pleasure for the others and give them power to survive. The punishment will come and everybody will be punished one way or another. To await or to undergo this punishment is to be a Penitent.
We are proud to announce “Melancholia Redux” of the Norwegian Dark/Industrial/Ambient/Experimental pioneers Penitent in various formats.
Karsten Hamre, Penitent‘s heart & soul, has followed a peculiar personal path and for more than three decades has remained absolutely consistent, dressing his poetry in black and eerie melodies. Not only did the passing of time not deter him, on the contrary today he is possessed by a freshness that is like doing a complete restart. On the one hand he has re-recorded a large part of the 10 albums he has released to date, while at the same time making his own plans for the future.
Our collaboration with Penitent begins with the re-release of the now legendary debut “Melancholia“, released by Cold Meat Industry in 1996. Although the term re-release in this particular case is not accurate, as almost everything has been changed. The album was re-recorded, there is new artwork & new mastering.

A true masterpiece of dark ambient finally resurfaces in stunning new vinyl and CD editions!

Originally crafted by Cold Meat Industry in 1995, Within The Depths Of Silence And Phormations is a defining work of sonic mysticism, now reborn through Rune Serpent Europa in a breathtakingly limited pressing.

This album is a cornerstone of the genre, an unparalleled journey through shadowy cathedrals, industrial ruins, and the vast chasms of the subconscious. From the opening moments, Peter Andersson conjures an atmosphere thick with sacred reverence and existential dread. Distant choirs echo like ghostly remnants of forgotten rituals, deep drones stretch into eternity, and mechanical whispers lurk in the periphery, weaving an intricate soundscape that feels both ancient and otherworldly. Each track is a carefully crafted meditation on silence and decay, where melancholic beauty and desolate ambiance merge into an experience that is as haunting as it is transcendental.

The album’s structure is impeccable, moving fluidly between solemn passages of minimalist sound design and dense, immersive sonic walls that envelop the listener. Tracks like Sephiroth and Euphrosyne feel like gateways to another dimension, drawing you deeper into Andersson’s unique vision of spiritual isolation and transformation.

Few albums capture the very essence of dark ambient as completely as Within The Depths Of Silence And Phormations. It’s a work that demands full immersion, headphones, darkness, and an open mind. Whether you’re a longtime devotee of the genre or a newcomer seeking the perfect entry point, this is an essential, timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and mesmerize nearly three decades after its creation.

From the moment the needle drops, listeners are drawn into the abyss of Peter Andersson’s haunting world, a realm of ethereal choirs, distant industrial echoes, and cavernous drones that feel as if they were pulled from the depths of forgotten cathedrals. This isn’t just music; it’s an immersive experience, a ritual, a descent into meditative oblivion.

For the first time ever on vinyl, Within The Depths Of Silence And Phormations (original 1995 recording) comes in two stunning editions: 300 numbered copies on classic black vinyl and 300 on a mesmerizing gold/black vinyl (THIS), each housed in a lavish gatefold cover that perfectly complements the album’s somber elegance. The warmth and depth of organic sound elevate the already immersive compositions, making this a must-have for any dark ambient connoisseur.

Endstille’s Kapitulation 2013 is a blistering statement of defiance, delivering a ferocious blend of relentless riffs, pounding drums, and sheer sonic violence. From start to finish, the album radiates unrelenting aggression, staying true to the band’s raw and uncompromising black metal roots.

Tracks like “Aborted” and “The Refined Nation” hit with devastating force, combining furious tremolo-picking guitars and relentless blast beats that feel like an unstoppable war machine marching forward. The production is sharp yet retains just the right amount of rawness, giving the music an authentic and hostile edge.

Vocalist Zingultus commands the soundscape with a venomous intensity, spitting each lyric with wrathful precision. The album’s bleak atmosphere is palpable, immersing the listener in a sonic assault that feels both chaotic and meticulously controlled. Kapitulation 2013 isn’t just an album – it’s a battlefield, a relentless barrage that refuses to compromise. For die-hard black metal fans, this record stands as a bold and powerful testament to Endstille’s unwavering dedication to the genre.

Prepare for total sonic annihilation.

This album is re-released in a Deluxe vinyl edition in two marbled colors: Marbled White/Black and Black/Red vinyl, each edition is limited to 500 copies.

Endstille‘s Infektion 1813 is an absolute powerhouse of relentless black metal aggression. From the very first note, this album grips you with its unyielding intensity and refuses to let go. The razor-sharp riffs cut through like icy winds, while the thunderous drumming drives each track forward with a merciless precision.

Tracks like “When Kathaaria Falls” and “Endstille (Völkerschlächter)” showcase the band’s signature rawness, blending chaotic energy with cold, calculated atmosphere. The production strikes a perfect balance – gritty enough to maintain the genre’s authenticity yet clear enough to let every blistering guitar line and bone-crushing blast beat shine through.

Vocally, Zingultus delivers a savage performance, his voice a tortured growl that channels pure hatred and despair. Each track feels like a battlefield, evoking the album’s wartime themes with chilling effectiveness. Infektion 1813 stands as a testament to Endstille‘s ability to craft ferocious yet memorable black metal. For fans of extreme music seeking a sonic assault that leaves no survivors, this album is an essential listen.

Prepare to be overwhelmed.

This album is re-released in a Deluxe vinyl edition in two marbled colors: Marbled White/Black and Black/Red vinyl, each edition is limited to 500 copies.

A Majestic Rebirth of a Nordic Masterpiece. With Origin, Borknagar strips back the layers of their cosmic black/progressive metal heritage to reveal something deeply organic, melodic, and profoundly atmospheric. Originally released as a bold acoustic statement, Origin stands as a testament to the band’s versatility, depth, and timeless songwriting – and now, it receives the deluxe vinyl treatment it truly deserves.

Sevan Mater presents this gem in a stunning new Triple Gatefold Edition, available in two strictly limited runs: 500 copies on Gold Vinyl and 500 copies on Red Vinyl. The Triple Gatefold packaging alone is a collector’s dream – beautifully designed, elegant, and immersive, perfectly echoing the rich natural textures and philosophical layers of the music within.

Musically, Origin is a journey through the soul of Borknagar – acoustic guitars, piano, flutes, and layered vocals flow like Nordic rivers through landscapes of introspection and grandeur. It’s both intimate and vast, a reflection of nature and spirit, myth and memory. The songs breathe, echoing ancient winds and the wisdom of the North. Tracks like “White” and “The Human Nature” reveal an emotional core often hinted at in Borknagar’s heavier works, now fully unmasked.

This album is not a detour – it is an essential chapter, perhaps one of the most sincere and poetic ever released in the metal world. Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering this masterpiece for the first time, this limited edition reissue is not to be missed. A glowing tribute to one of the most daring and visionary bands in modern metal – this is Borknagar at their most elemental, and most profound.

A Monument of Epic Northern Majesty. Few albums have captured the essence of Norse grandeur and progressive black metal mysticism like Borknagar’s iconic The Olden Domain. Originally released in 1997, this milestone release marked a bold evolution in the band’s sound – an epic synthesis of ferocity and atmosphere, melody and might.

Now, thanks to Sevan Mater, this seminal album returns in a breathtaking deluxe edition, crafted with the reverence it deserves. This collector’s dream comes in a Triple Gatefold cover, rich with new visual and tactile depth – a true work of art that honors the spirit of the music inside.

Limited to only: 500 copies on Gold Vinyl and 500 copies on Red Vinyl. Each color captures the fire and blood of this album’s sonic journey – from the icy pulse of black metal to the warm, progressive textures that would come to define Borknagar’s identity.

The Olden Domain is more than an album – it’s a mythological voyage through time, nature, and existential reflection. Tracks like “The Eye of Oden”, “A Tale of Pagan Tongue”, and “Grimland Domain” remain towering achievements, combining intricate musicianship with visionary scope.

This was the moment Borknagar became something more – a band unafraid to expand black metal’s boundaries into untamed, poetic wilderness. With this deluxe Sevan Mater edition, The Olden Domain roars anew – raw, majestic, eternal. A must-have for fans of Scandinavian metal history and progressive extremity alike.

Black 12" double vinyl (33rpm) with printed inner sleeves in gatefold sleeve with double sided insert. Live at Parktreatet in Oslo.
First pressing 300 copies worldwide.

For three decades, 1349 have embodied the original spirit of black metal. Since manifesting from Oslo’s underground in the late ‘90s, the cold and hellish Norwegians have appeared at major European festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Hellfest and toured internationally with the likes of Celtic Frost, Cannibal Corpse and Carcass. Now, fresh from the ashes of eighth album ‘The Wolf & The King’, the band are releasing a new live recording entitled ‘Winter Mass’.
Taped shortly after pandemic lockdown was lifted, ‘Winter Mass’ explodes out the gates with 1349’s aural hellfire. During their set at Parkteatret in front of their home crowd, the band summon a career-spanning range of apocalyptic spells from their massive cauldron of chaos. Early classics like “Sculptor of Flesh” thrash with unchained madness and recent favorite "Striding the Chasm" whips by at a blistering pace that could only be captured by cover artist Kim Diaz Holm, who drew the album’s artwork while headbanging in the pit. "I will always be here / In all ways in all times", snarls Ravn on hellacious cut "I Am Abomination". After three decades and counting, what was once a proclamation is now a testament to 1349's enduring firepower.
Experience aural hellfire in the flesh back where it all began with ‘Winter Mass’.

For fans of MARDUK, CELTIC FROST, BEHEMOTH, MAYHEM, IMMORTAL.
