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.

Much as its cover art forecasts the contents ahead, I Helvetes Forakt effortlessly transports the listener to wintry, alluringly desolate landscapes, working as much atmospherically as they do aggressively. More than ever, Nattverd embody the cryogenic majesty of classic Norwegian black metal, conjured during the glorious 1990s but by no means tethered to that past. If anything, the quintet have their sights set on the distant future, patiently pushing their sound forward to icier heights (and depths) whilst maintaining their distinct poise and personality.

Limited to 999 hand-numbered copies with 800 copies pressed on 180g transparent black smoke vinyl, includes double-sided insert.

"TRE" encloses in one work the trilogy of EPs composed by the band from its beginnings to its signing for Season of Mist.
The EPs have a common topic: the human being in relation to the universe.
In "Mystery of Mystery" is emphasized the relationship with the unknown and the infinite, in "Sancta Menstruis" with death and constant change, and in "Ave Scintilla!" with the creative force.
The single chosen to represent this collection is "Scintilla" (transl. "Spark"): a rough and violent track in which love is action, movement, Freedom.
The "Spark" is the Devil and the ceaseless movement of nature.
