Black metal

Carpathia Symphonia" is a sublime celebration of the golden age of Norwegian Black Metal. Remember, this legendary and inspired combination of majestic atmospheres, unforgettable and timeless melodies, the whole thing magically wrapped in this so specific and unique feeling... incredibly pure.

Containing three songs, this short and precious release is composed of an exclusive new song, "Mother Tongue Of Heresy", along with a totally re-arranged and re-recorded version of the old ambient/acoustic composition, "Arges - Raul Doamnei", and the classic WALLACHIA hymn "Fullmoon Above Fagaras"(this time with English lyrics).

"Fuori dagli schemi: questo è Wallachia. Un progetto nato nella Norvegia di metà anni ’90 ma che è non è mai riuscito ad ottenere la popolarità dei più celebri conterranei Emperor o dei contemporanei Cradle of Filth e che, dopo un album di successo come From Behind the Light, decide di scomparire per oltre sei anni, condannandosi all’oblio da parte dei più. Ma, quello che conta maggiormente, è che Wallachia sia ora ritornata ad essere una realtà attiva che, con Shunya, dimostra ancora una volta che da quell’angolo di Scandinavia molto è ancora lecito aspettarsi. Una produzione consigliata a tutti gli amanti di un black metal che sia sinfonico e melodico, senza però perdere la sua proverbiale aggressività. Caratteristica assicurata in questo caso dalle ibridazioni death, con quel tocco sregolato e irriverente in più dato da qualche sperimentazione che, stavolta, ha pagato la scelta."

rare demo remastered on CD!

"Neverland", the fourteenth studio album by ULVER is the sound of an escape. A journey into undiscovered lands.

Following three albums – "The Assassination of Julius Caesar" (2017), "Flowers of Evil" (2020), and "Liminal Animals" (2024) – rooted in more traditional song and production structures, "Neverland" marks a new chapter in the revered Oslo band's history.

"With 'Neverland' we embraced a more 'punk' spirit – more dreaming, less discipline – freer, quite simply", the band comments on the creative process behind the album.

Bursts of daybreak synths and whooshes of sound set the atmosphere, before the wolves start digging into the dynamics of ambient calm and anarchic mysticism. Dreamy and transportive textures develop into trippy percussive energies, and as the album unfolds, a lush and vibrant, and at times exotic space opens.

Apart from a few recurring distant voices and vocal chops, "Neverland" is a largely instrumental record, reminiscent of the mood and structure of that place where late '90s IDM sounds met the meandering structures of post-rock.

The ghost of premillennial sample culture surely haunts "Neverland", and some might even hear echoes from earlier acclaimed works like "Perdition City" (2000), or the "Silence" EPs (2001), or more recently "ATGCLVLSSCAP" (2016).

Still, "Neverland" sounds and feels like something else, something fresh in ULVER's continuous journey of perennial reinvention. Pop music from in-between worlds? A sonic hallucination? Or better: a collage of dreams. It's up to you.

Grim black metal

For the first time, these 5 tapes (Ash Nazg …, lux devicta est, promo tape 2/94, Moonrise and In Hate & Sin)  are compiled as a stand-alone 2LP / 2CD album, accompanied by extensive photo material and an in-depth interview, covering the period from the formative 1980s, over the conditions leading to the establishment of the band, up to the days when a deal for their debut Verwüstung/Invoke The Dark Age was signed.

The direct and unveiled nature of these recordings invites the listener to travel back in time, step into ABIGOR´s rehearsal cellar and experience the raw, youthful energy which shows a different side of the band than the successive recordings at Hörnix Studio.

The pressing and print quality make this double-album the ultimate memorial to the reckless bygone days not only of ABIGOR but also of Black Metal as a whole.
On 48 A5 pages respectively, the circumstances around each demo are treated individually.

After more than 30 years, the hands-on experiments of those simple, analogue times still work their magic!

One of the best kept secrets of the early 90s English death metal scene, finally available again on limited 180g LP, jewel-case CD and MC.

NECROSANCT from Brighton (UK) delivered with their second album Incarnate (1992) and the third and last album Desolate (1993) an unparalleled brutal and obscure death metal thunderstorm.
If you are into chaotic and grinding metal of death with drums that have a certain D.D. Crazy (SARCOFAGO) vibe and you like a mixture between BOLT THROWER, PESTILENCE, BLASPHEMY and NOCTURNUS, then this is definitely for you.
Originally released on Swedish label Black Mark (BATHORY), the albums by NECROSANCT unfortunately never found access to a larger public due to BM’s poor label work. Now you have the chance to catch up and get these timeless death metal classics.

Prior to their legendary Death/Thrash masterpiece, MERCILESS cut their teeth recording two demos, Behind the Black Door and Realm of the Dark. Released in 1987 und 1988 respectively, both are naturally rather raw affairs but what they may lack in proficiency and sound quality, is made up for by unbridled ferocity and MERCILESS’ youthful enthusiasm.

These two demos are important historical relics and a peephole into times long past by one of Sweden’s pioneering bands that alongside e.g. OBSCURITY or MORBID paved the way for the Swedish (and beyond) Black- and Death Metal scene.

Jewel-case CD with 24-page booklet including an in-depth interview with Erik Wallin and many never seen before pictures.

After having caused a great stir with their self-titled debut, on Devil`s Force from 1998 the swedish savages don`t stray one inch from their path.
NIFELHEIM`s second full-length picks up the smouldering rubble from the debut and takes their unmistakable style up a notch.
Aided by a slightly fuller but still gritty production, the album is a bludgeoning beast of dirty metal infused with lethal doses of satanic insanity.
Filled to the brim with memorable songs Devil`s Force is yet again an outright success and an indispensable underground-classic.

A very in-depth interview with Tyrant and Hellbutcher highlighting the early days of the band until their last opus „Envoy Of Lucifer“ was also conducted for these reissues.
You can read parts of this interview in the corresponding releases as well you will find many unseen pictures and material from the band in the large booklets for every title.

Inspired by hatred and some of the vilest and darkest Metal of the 80s, Sweden`s most demented twins, Hellbutcher and Tyrant, came up with their only demo Unholy Death, spawned in hell in 1993.

Although the tracks immortalized on this demo are poorly recorded and rather amateurishly performed they already and unmistakenly bear some of the trademarks the band would come to be worshipped for. Hellbutcher`s insane, utterly
possessed screams and their songwriting talent and sense for melody turn the demo into a must-have not only for loyal worshippers of the band but for anyone into early SODOM, early BATHORY or TREBLINKA.

Especially for this compilation, NIFELHEIM unearthed several gems from their archive which turn this release into something truly extraordinary:
On top of the 4 songs from the demo-tape this compilation features 4 other original songs, 2 intros and 2 covers (MOTÖRHEAD and BATHORY) from the same recording-session.
In total, Unholy Death consists of 12 titles with a running time of almost 40 minutes.
