Back in stock - musica Black Metal e Dark estrema
Ristampa 2018
Originally released in 2004, Mysteries of the Nocturnal Forest is a sarcophagi of despair as the album’s nine tracks account for a hour’s worth of raw misanthropic misery. Hauntingly primal, the album’s evocative nature is matched by its flawless lo-fi production of ghostly guitars and ethereal synths. Evilfeast’s lone multi-instrumentalist, GrimSpirit, begins his prolific body of work with a wintry dissonance. With over two decades of depraved black metal under his belt, it is easy to see why Evilfeast belongs alongside Burzum, Paysage d'Hiver and Midnight Odyssey.
Digipak CD with UV Spot, 20-page booklet, and designed download card.
Danish black metal force Afsky return with full-length number four simply entitled "Fællesskab", once again delving deep into the bleak, atmospheric realms that have defined their signature sound. Fællesskab reveals their most critical and emotionally charged work to date, a deeply personal voyage into the heart of Nordic black metal, where raw emotion and melodic depth keep reveling in sorrow and longing beauty.
Translating to “Community”, Fællesskab's six tracks weave a strong musical oeuvre within the Afsky canon; their walls of haunting melancholia, interwoven with vital intensity, have never been more powerful. Yet, this new work also sees the band at its sharpest in social criticism, as Ole Luk of Afsky notes:
Fællesskab - Overture to the Downfall.
Here, community is praised like herd animals fleeing responsibility. A parade of moral superiority, where truth is trampled in the name of consensus. Where unity means silence, and doubt is a crime. Six songs of shame disguised as care, of freedom suffocated, and of the solitary few who still dare to question. A chorus of hollow words, where silence screams the loudest. Welcome to the celebration – the curtain hasn’t just risen, it’s been torn away!
Digipak CD edition with booklet
AFSKY's second album "Ofte Jeg drømmer mig død" is a journey through the cultural history of Denmark, focusing on poems and lyrics by well-known and lesser-known Danish writers such as H.C. Andersen, Emil Aarestrup and others - reflections on the eternal misery in the age of industrialization, when people were considered "human material", trapped in everyday life and forced to work hard for the upper class until death.
To express this, a mixture of icy, nordic black metal with folk and doom elements is conjured up by Afsky, crowned by the melancholic and emotional interpretation and performance.
On "Ofte Jeg Drømmer Mig Død" AFSKY have managed to combine timeless poetry of the 19th century with their own timeless music - which draws attention to the injustices in today's world and even shows frightening parallels.
Digipak CD edition with booklet
The debut album of AFSKY is a cold atmospheric representative that can be clearly assigned to the DSBM genre. The doomy folk and classical music elements already appear here and there, such as the guest contribution of Amalie Bruun (Myrkur) on the nykelharpa and clean vocals - but the raw coldness is most present here.
Written at a time of frustration, sadness and dark emotions, the lyrics lead to a haunting and harrowing exploration of the various shades of suffering, but also reflect the magnificence of nature - as eternal inspiration and shelter.
This album expresses exactly what Afsky and Sorg stand for namely: disgust and sadness. The cradle and the cornerstone that bear all the hallmarks of Afsky in their original and pristine sound.
The distant howl of coyotes echoes through the desert night. Over a windswept mesa the Serpent Moon rises. This is how Galen Baudhuin (Wolves In The Throne Room Infera Bruo, Street Tombs and more) envisions the debut album of ARIDUS. In conspiracy with Eisenwald, he takes you on a journey to his majestic and hostile homeland in the American high desert and through the inevitable stages of human existence.
ARIDUS is an outlet for multi-instrumentalist Galen Baudhuin's more overt black metal material. GB handled all instrumentation across the entire album, challenging himself to represent his creative vision unaided. This vision is deeply rooted in the unforgiving nature and beauty of the high desert of the southwestern United States. A sinister sonic landscape that resonates with a somber, dark energy.
Black vinyl edition, includes an insert with lyrics and credits.
Irish doom/sludge band Soothsayer released a gem of an EP a few years back but nothing could've prepared us for this powerful, monolithic album.
"Where Sun Resigns" is the third album of ambient black metal band Skuggor. An evocative exploration of shadowy forests, hypnotic introspection, and the profound sorrow of fading light. Immersing listeners in a soundscape of melancholic melodies and raw intensity, the album weaves themes of meditation and darkness into an ethereal sonic journey that captures the essence of nature's mystique. From haunting riffs to immersive ambient passages, "Where Sun Resigns" invites the listener to embrace the beauty in sorrow and find solace in the depths of shadow.
With "Whispers of Ancient Spells" Swedish-based one-man project Skuggor invites listeners to traverse realms of darkness, mist and myth. Guided by the hypnotic melodies that echo through the corridors of ancient forests, each track is a chapter in exploring shadows of the past.
Icy winds and solitary woods - the debut of one man project Skuggor
With Skuggflock (Shadowpack). The third offering. Stilla returns with yet another monumental recording that reeks of aggressive, beautiful and melancholic metal. After two years of silence Stilla now slightly moves out from the shadows and once again we get the opportunity to experience the very typical rugged Stilla sound we first heard on their 2013 album Till stilla falla. Here blended with inspiration and emotions not far away from what the prog-rockers Goblin achieved with D. Argento in the 70's.
Stilla has always created their own unique style of Scandinavian Black Metal where the sound more then seldom travels into the nostalgic 90's mid era.
Ten years ago, Panopticon released Autumn Eternal – a record that captured the fleeting fire of the season and fixed it in sound. Amber-hued and windswept, it was both a lament for change and a hymn of hope for the road ahead.
The album marked the closing chapter of the trilogy begun with Kentucky (2012) and carried forward with Roads to the North (2014). Here, Austin Lunn wove black metal with threads of Americana, folk, and postrock into an immersive journey steeped in sadness, beauty, and transcendence. From the sweeping melancholy of 'A Superior Lament' to the rustic violin of Johan Becker and the somber cello of Nostarion, Autumn Eternal is a meditation on loss, memory, and the passage of time.
A decade later, Autumn Eternal still glows with the same autumnal fire – a testament to its place as one of the most honest and affecting metal albums of its time.
