For those who know and truly understand actual underground black metal, Mons Veneris require no introduction. For over 20 years now, this shadowy and insanely prolific Portuguese cabal have pursued a uniquely vile vision with an unquenchable thirst. From hammering primitivism to medieval melancholy, volcanic drone to chaotic oblivion, nods to the French Black Legions to frequencies far outside of metal, there's never any guarantee of how Mons Veneris' vision will manifest itself - only that they'll explore a darkness few have the constitution to tread.

Witness their Ascent Into Draconian Abyss, which was teasingly released in an extremely limited tape version for those who had the good fortune of attending the most recent Signal Rex-curated Invicta Requiem Mass festival and witnessing their crimes in the flesh. As the duo forecasted with the recent maxi-single Excesses of Perpetual Gloom, their muse only becomes thirstier and more miserable. Mons Veneris are always surprising, yet always uncompromising and always themselves, as testified by Ascent Into Draconian Abyss: the opening 20-minute title track is a harrowing descent into lunacy, and the ghoulishness only intensifies on the album's successive three tracks. More monkish vokills come forth, haunting like nothing else as their buzzing belligerence winds through craggy corridors of mondo-primitivism, all before the hall-of-mirrors madness of closer "Chant to the Unknown." Mons Veneris will fuck you on your Ascent Into Draconian Abyss! 

Based on different translations of the Secret Book of John, Rex Mundi is composed by two lengthy hymns dedicated to Yaltabaoth. Gaze upon the monstrosity of what we call the Desecrator of the Monad. Witness the malevolent creation of what you consider life.

The songs range from pure extreme fury to transcendental evil chants, leading to the uttermost sense of terror and emptiness.
Cold Poison comes back as well with his extraordinary art, depicting our most intimate and disturbing nightmares.

This project continues its path in bringing this specific Slavic black metal concept, now devoid of synthesisers that were present in Gerzolth's earlier works. Such absence pushes the guitars and vocals to the forefront, resulting in a harsher and more aggressive black metal experience. This shift creates a sense of untamed ferocity, characteristic of this genre's untamed side.

Gerzolth's aesthetic draws clear influence from the legendary BlazeBirth Hall scene, known for its frigid and bleak atmospheres. The album art also bears a striking resemblance to the cover of Krahnholm's latest release, further solidifying their connection to this style of black metal."

Recorded live 31.08.2024 at Obscure Selections Vol. 1, MeetFactory in Prague, Czech Republic.
Mixed and Mastered by Matti Kynsijärvi, Graphic Design: Kalle Pyyhtinen.

An amazing soundboard recording of their performance captured in Prague CZ.
A true testament to their live ritual power that conjures darkness from beyond human existence.

The booklet contains extensive liner notes from Olivier ‘Zoltar’ Badin (Cathedral, Dark Funeral) and many rare and old pictures, flyers, posters and complete new cover artwork.

Death metal band Eternal Dirge was formed in 1986 and released four demos and 2 full length albums. They played an early American style of death metal blended with Teutonic thrash, different to any other European death metal band of the time. Their second album from 1996 "Khaos Magick", showed a similar contempt for contemporary metal trends. There were no concessions to the more popular metallic sounds of that time; groove metal, melodic death metal, black metal. Eternal Dirge were a genuine band with their own sound. They made music that reflected their interests and Lovecraftian worldview. Khaos Magick is the most dark yet atmospherically album from their catalogue. Somewhere comparable to early Septic Flesh or Rotting Christ & Necromantia with the dark keyboard sounds and repetitive riffs or even Nocturnus. And of course the heavily rooted German Death and thrash metal influences

Bloodbark is a project of unknown origin made by an unknown number of people embracing that nature is the creator, storyteller and the artist behind it all. This idea sprouted with the 2018’s album Bonebranches, where no human presence tarnished the art. The human aspect remained hidden, covered by snow while nature and emotion sang across beautiful landscapes and whispered verses with melodies to every listener, so it welcomed them into its utterly cold embrace of winter to lull into a cozy and familiar slumber.
