ZARATUS were formed in 2018 by Bill Zobolas (Soulskinner, Thou Art Lord e.t.c) and Stefan Necroabyssius (Varathron, Katavasia e.t.c). The idea behind the creation of the band was the unity of forces of 2 members with history in the creation of the Greek scene of the 90s, where they will offer a fresh idea of how black metal should sound today. Based on the deep roots of authentic black metal, but with many elements of epic, majestic and beyond the limits, ZARATUS create a unique identity in both style and sound, which makes them stand out. In 2019 they released the Mini LP "The Descent", which is essentially an authentic imprint of the familiar Greek black metal sound of the 90's.

In the same year they recorded their first full-length album "In The Days Of Whore". The recordings and mixing were done in Red 7 studio by Bill, while the vocals and the mastering were done in Suncord Audiolab studio, by Achilleas Kalantzis. The album contains 7 tracks of a total duration of 48 minutes. It is a journey to ancient times, where darkness and light were one, when the primordial mysteries and the power of nature were integral parts of evolution. The music is inextricably linked to the lyrics, creating a unique atmosphere. Based on and with respect to their black metal roots, ZARATUS broke the bonds of the limits of the genre and passed to other dimensions, touching lyricism, epicism, classical periods, but also sometimes giving redemption to the listener through simplicity.

Finally, the wait is over!
The third album by Norways finest, WHOREDOM RIFE, is upon us!  Six new hymns of traditional Norwegian Black Metal, heavily rooted in the 90ies glory days, or as V.Einride says; "we're not retro, we're just late".

Epic and grandiose, melancholic and utterly aggressive; Winds of Wrath is truly a tumultous ride to Hell and back. 

The Ruins of Beverast's Exuvia is a dark and twisted slab of black/doom metal that calls forth ancient spirits to cleanse the Earth of its filth.

It will take you quite a while, to explore the whole album in detail.
With every listening you will find something new and this is it, what makes the album to the strongest release of the band up to now.

Digipack CD
 

„Tempelschlaf" is THE RUINS OF BEVERAST's seventh full-length output and sees the band carrying on their sonic morbidity, noises and melodies of a human habitat in its sunset era, while maintaining and refining the widescreen low end that has been sustaining their sound almost from the beginning.

On the instrumental side, „Tempelschlaf" is stripped of quite some abdominal fat, forging the songs with a reduction in length and layers, cautiously leaning towards the stage part of things. Still, TROB's main discipline, the cineastic incarnation of audial nightmares, is omnipresent on the album. While synths and samples have always been playing a bizarrely adamant role in TROB's sound, they reach yet another level of psychedelia and insanity on „Tempelschlaf".

Watain is undoubtedly the black metal band most likely to replace the great Nordic giants of the genre.
Following in the footsteps of Bathory or Dissection, the combo led by the enigmatic E. releases with Lawless Darkness a monument of black magic and occultism.
After "Sworn to The Dark", get ready for the "Lawless Darkness" tidal wave!

Hailing from the mist-clad highlands of Scotland, SAOR is a band that breathes life into history with their majestic blend of black metal intensity and Celtic folk melodies. Guided by the spirit of Caledonia, SAOR's music transcends time, echoing the ancient tales of their homeland.
Amidst the melancholy ruins and the grandeur of nature, their new album, ‘Amidst the Ruins’, majestically intertwines the past with the present. From the haunting echoes of “Glen of Sorrow” that recounts the betrayal of the Massacre of Glencoe, to the forest's whispered secrets in “The Sylvan Embrace” featuring cellist Jo Quail, each track is a portal to Scotland’s rich heritage. With “Echoes of the Ancient Land” and “Rebirth”, listeners are invited on a journey through weathered glens and ethereal hills, where each melody reveals a narrative of strength, sorrow, and renewal.
This album is a tribute to the timeless landscapes and ancestral spirits, capturing the soul of a nation in every note.
