Blue vinyl - official 2022 reissue

 The pale light that shines in a kingdom of darkness could be just another deadly lure...

After a debut album showing the will to re-ignite the flame of a sophisticated and emphatic approach of extreme metal, yet still deeply rooted in the second wave of Scandinavian BM, DEATHCODE SOCIETY are back with “Unlightenment”, a merciless dive into the aphotic zone, as the cover artwork by Kjell Age Melland shows.

Epic and eerie, the seven songs explore the depth of the human mind through a restless and tempestuous music melting together a brutal metal instrumentation with orchestral arrangements, choirs, synths and concrete samples.

With lyrics bathed in dark surrealism – two of them being rendering of poems by Andrew Joron and René Daumal – “Unlightenment” is a musical journey through the Other Side and this gloomy maze where psychosis, murderous urges and mystical obsessions endlessly wander.

Recorded in its entirety on August 4th, 2019 in São Paulo (Brazil) during the final show of VARATHRON's "30 Years Of Darkness Tour"

12" GATEFOLD DLP TRANSPARENT

Originally recorded in 2013 during the "Kriegserklärung" sessions and released in 2017 as a split with Kommandant. These tracks convey the aftermath of the Great War in early 1919 by covering the brutal street fighting of factions in the early Weimar Republic. Some of the fastest and most intense songs of the band's early period are here, as well as the first experimentation with neofolk.

200x heavyweight milky clear 12" (180g) in a microtene innerbag, printed innersleeve, full-color on 220g carton (coated paper), jacket, full-color printed on 350g carton, coated paper (semi-gloss), all assembled in a plastic overbag. Specially remastered for vinyl with a complete new artwork and layout.

Darkthrone's legendary 1989 demo, including additional tracks from Bootleg TV (1989) and rare rehearsal tracks from 1990.

Darkthrone started in 1986 under the name of Black Death. Although becoming known the world over as a black metal band crucial to the lasting legacy of the genre, Darkthrone began more as an extreme metal band utilising elements of thrash, death and doom metal into their early compositions.

Cromlech was Darkthrone’s final demo release, before a deal was inked with Peaceville Records. The demo was recorded in 1989 with the line-up of Gylve Nagell (Drums), Ted Skjellum (Guitars/vocals), Ivar Enger (Guitars) and Dag Nilsen (Bass); a line-up which would remain in place for the revered Soulside Journey and A Blaze in the Northern Sky albums. 

As well as the iconic demo itself – containing tracks which would go on to form part of the Soulside Journey debut - this release also contains additional tracks from the Bootleg TV Oslo recordings in 1989, including a cover of Celtic Frost’s Visual Aggression. Also includes a trio of instrumental tracks from a rehearsal tape originally made for Peaceville founder Paul “Hammy” Halmshaw in 1990.

Vinyl with printed inner sleeve. Featuring the original Cromlech art/logo.

Crystal clear & white marbled 12" vinyl in jacket with 4-page insert, including lyrics, liner notes, and pictures.

In 1991, ROTTING CHRIST planted the seeds to their legacy with the release of their first ever EP, ‘Passage to Arcturo’.
The offering demonstrates the band’s feral infancy as they set forth on their journey to define their sound as we know it today.
Now, Season of Mist is reissuing this long-out-of-print gem to celebrate the band’s now-storied legacy.

First time ever on vinyl, gatefold cover, limited edition silver vinyl.

Recorded within less than two weeks at a studio in Wilster, Germany back in 1993, “The Ending Quest” was a bit of a forgotten obscurity until Century Media Records' 2012 anthology “Within the Shadow of Darkness”, which also covered all of the band's demo recordings.
Now, the album is made available again as a limited edition including liner notes by Chris Dick (Decibel Magazine, USA).
A must have for all Swedish death metal connoisseurs!
