Self-titled albums usually suggest either a questionable "return to the roots" or a band reinvention of sorts. For brooding black metal beasts, Bethlehem, however, the release of the eponymously titled ‘Bethlehem’ marks the 25th anniversary of the group, which the German group celebrates in their own wayward style.

‘Bethlehem’ is a welcome rejuvenation in every respect. When the line-up that recorded their 2014 release, Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, fell apart, founding member/mastermind Jürgen Bartsch took the bull by its proverbial horns and matters into his own deviceful hands.
 

Warning!
If you discovered IMMORTAL after 1995, this record might not be for you.
These recordings capture the band during the 1993 Fuck Christ Tour and the 1995 Battle Of The Ages Tour — raw fan-recordings, unpolished, and unapologetically real. No sterile soundboard perfection. No studio correction. Just the unfiltered force of a band in its purest form.
These recordings breathe the spirit of a time when Black Metal was still young, dangerous, and defiantly outside the mainstream. A time before trends, before marketing, before compromise. When the scene was built on tape trading, dedication, and cold conviction.
This is a document of an era that will never return — a glimpse into the formative years of a band that reshaped Black Metal from the shadows.

With their fourth studio album "Hulders Ritual" ('Ritual of the Huldra'), SLAGMAUR break the chains of repetition and nostalgia by rewriting the rules of black metal. This does not mean abandoning the foundations of the genre, which is already indicated by working with the 'inventor' of the 'Norwegian black metal sound', THORNS mastermind Snorre W. Ruch, as an additional producer. The band's founder, General Gribbsphiiser, rather unafraid and with reckless abandon mutates and warps the traditional formula through a host of subtle innovations and tweaks of the classic sound. Although "Hulders Ritual" continues, refines, and widens the daring stylistic balance of SLAGMAUR's previous works, it adds an extra dimension of sardonic mania to its collection of sharp and vicious sonic instruments. Choice guest-contributions that include TAAKE vocalist Hoest, DIMMU BORGIR guitarist Silenoz, and MISÞYRMING frontman D.G., who cover three decades of Nordic black metal make a case in point.
