Engla tocyme" (which translates to "the coming of the English") is the third studio album by the English pagan metal band Forefather.
It was recorded from september to november 2001 and originally released in 2002 by Angelisc Enterprises.
Nowthe album is re-released with a rare bonus track: "Loyalty bound" appeared on a compilation album but has been remixed to be included here.
With pride Heidens Hart Records present the next release in line of the Forefather re-release series: their 1999 debut "Deep into time". The album shows Forefather in a more primitive way; the album was recorded on an analogue eight track recorder, and the song writing was more spontaneous than on later albums. However, their trademark guitar and vocal melodies are already very present on this album. Especially personal favourite tracks like "Ancient voice" and "Visions of elders" stand out with their primitive yet epic melodies. And after all, it's their wellknown, own style of melodies, very clearly present on this album, that made Forefather who they are. The album contains one bonus track which also appeared on the 2005 vinyl release by Eisenwald, but it was remixed for this CD edition.
"Ours is the kingdom" shows more diverse and energetic songs after "Engla Tocyme", which was more sombre and reflective. "Ours is the kingdom" includes many of the bands' classic tracks and with over one hour playing time, this is also the longest album by the Anglo-Saxon legends. With the bonus track included, the total is even pushed over 65 minutes. "Fighters of the Angelcynn" was originally written by Forefather for the Folkearth project, but the track has been completely re-written, re-recorded, has new lyrics and truly blends in with the album perfectly.
To further improve this reissue, the album has been remastered by the band themselves.
Forefather are the absolute kings of creativity and epic and complex layered guitar, keyboard and vocal melodies. The songs on “Steadfast” are unbelievably memorable and catchy, whilst being more technically proficient than ever. You'll find a couple of true ear worms in the bombastic choruses, even when the album is a step up in terms of speed and fierce aggression compared to the previous two albums. Perfecting their style album after album, into the recognizable style of their own. With “Steadfast”, Forefather created their all comprehending pinnacle of unique Anglo-Saxon metal – the ultimate definition of epic viking metal.
Long awaited split with Ancestors Blood and Heervader. A highly anticipated, high profile cooperation between Finland and The Netherlands. Ancestors Blood is one of the leading atmospheric black/pagan metal bands during the last decade, while Heervader is a rather unknown project from two known individuals who are also active in other bands.
The CD comes with a 12 page booklet with lyrics and photos.
Epic and highly atmospheric pagan black metal. Powerful production, catchy and bombastic keyboard melodies and aggressive guitars and vocals. Ancestors Blood have more and more found an own identity, however still reminding of that old, typical Scandinavian sound bands like Grievance, Demonic, Covenant, Forlorn, Troll, Gehenna, Darkwoods My Bethrothed, and Dimmu Borgir.
As the midsummerday now lies behind us, this is the sound to the coming stormy nights over the vastness of the Finnish landscape! Epic songwriting as can be expected from Ancestors Blood. The new album 'A moment of clarity' is production wise a lot rougher than the previous 'Return of the ancient ones' and 'When the forest calls'; it goes back to the sound of their first demos. So expect a lot more primitive and rougher in sound, yet possibly their strongest songs ever. Recommended to fanatics of Satyricon debut and later Summoning.
The 1993 debut album re-released. Improved cover, yet as identical as possible layout. No remaster bullshit: The sound remains as rotten as before. CD comes with 2 bonustracks

This is the sound of nostalgia and authenticity - the album that started it all! "Westfälischer Schlachtenlärm" was originally never intended as a first album, but as a demorecording. It sold out within 3 months after its initial CD release, making it highly sought after. After 8 years, it's now finally available again.
Originally released in 2006, 'Ashes Against the Grain' seamlessly blends heaviness with atmosphere and precision. With their third full-length, the band continued their musical journey, always a step ahead, but without losing grip of their dark metal roots. The album combines elements of black metal, Scandinavian prog-rock, and post-rock with the unique, melancholic, contemplative style that is so typical of Agalloch.
From the driving force of “Falling Snow” to the dissolving trilogy “Our Fortress Is Burning...,” this is Agalloch at their most direct and elemental. A contrast to the warmth firey nightsky of 'Pale Folklore', the monumental poetic folk of 'The Mantle' , 'Ashes...' gazes into a horizon of dying embers with clarity.
The band’s panoramic scope of songwriting - takes on a widescreen scale - combined with the albums imagery, and production all aligned into a monolithic statement — sharp, modern, and unrelentingly melancholic.
Solid hardbound book edition (20x20cm) featuring bronze hot foil finish, 64 pages with artwork, lyrics, and information around the album. Extensive liner notes from the press and musicians and specifically curated interview related to the album itself. Double CD set with Ashes Againast The Grain on Disc 1, and Selected Fragments on Disc 2.
