Fejd was formed in 2001 through a unique fusion of the folk duo Rimmerfors and members of the metal bands Pathos and Nostradameus. Rooted in medieval-tinged folk traditions performed with old acoustic instruments, Rimmerfors joined forces with their childhood friends to create a sound that bridges two worlds - blending the power of heavy metal with the rich melodies and melancholic spirit of Nordic folk music.
After years of anticipation, Fejd now returns with their fifth full-length album, Nifelheim. From the very first note, listeners are drawn into a world of ancient legends, carried by powerful arrangements and the evocative language of Nordic melancholy. With their signature use of traditional folk instruments, Fejd once again affirms their place as one of the leading names in folk metal.

FEN are climbing to a new artistic height by coming down to earth with their eighth full-length "Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth". The East Anglian trio has turned to their 'roots' in every sense, by distilling the true essence of what constitutes their sound through everything that they have learned and added in the last two decades. While the previous album, "Monuments to Absence" (2023), was deliberately arranged dense, fast and intense, FEN decided to leave breathing space on this album to allow more time for themes and ideas to exhale and unfurl. Of course, there is still much sonic aggression but channelled differently as large parts of "Mourning Earth" were recorded live to allow an organic nature to flow, and to permit the natural rhythms of the pieces to develop. Lyrically, FEN sum up their basic idea behind "Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth" in their own poetic words: "The morning mists clearing over the boggy expanses of the fens to reveal another grey, gloom-laden day of sorrow and regret. And at twilight, the slow, sad realisation that tomorrow promises only more of the same – tormented by the half-heard whispers of the spirits bound to the soils, our pain continues. And we can only endure." With "Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth", FEN have reached a new pinnacle in their exciting career and achieved a perfect balance between their black metal foundations and post-black metal innovations. FEN take their listener on a journey to grim bogs, languid waterways, and dismal fogs over bare rock – yet on the other side waits a sense of surcease to the endless existential ennui within.

The obscure entity known as Norsefire marks its second effort after the well received demo Magnificum Hoc Templum.

This time the sicilian trio focused on another aspect of the world of darkness. Since the introduction of this dark and ominous ep, you will feel your soul haunted by the spirits!

The only advise is to don't let them in, quoting the first track. In seventeen minutes Norsefire evokes all the best in old fashioned, rotten and merciless Black Metal in its meanest form.

Recommended for all the die hard maniacs devoted to obscurity and addicted to the most evil Metal around.
