Since forming in 2009, DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT has carved out a singular place in modern black metal, blending relentless intensity with a philosophical core. Rooted in the genre’s foundations yet constantly evolving, the German quartet is known for its emotional depth, compositional complexity, and striking live presence.
On sixth album ‘Innern’, the band turns inward with devastating clarity. Each track offers a meditation on human fragility and existential transformation, shifting between blistering aggression and haunting serenity. “Marter” explores shared suffering as a path to transcendence, “Eos” imagines nature reclaiming a blood-soaked earth, and “Forlorn” becomes an intimate plea for emotional refuge, sung in English to underscore its universality. The interplay between soaring guitars, pulsing bass, and intricate percussion frames Nikita Kamprad’s visceral vocal performance with precision and raw urgency.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Kamprad himself, the album captures both immediacy and atmosphere, placing the listener in direct confrontation with the void.

Six years have gone by already since Lys Noir, and at last Monarque breaks the silence. While the work on his new full-length continues, Jusqu’à la Mort offers a taste of things to come, and proves beyond any doubt that the sovereign of Québec Black Metal has lost none of his luster. As soon as the first notes hit, this is unmistakably Monarque, soaring to new levels of his very own brooding, emotional breed of Black Metal. A Grand return…

Formed in Orleans in 2022, Les Bâtards du Roi is a melodic black metal band evolving in a medieval framework. Set in a devastated world, this project tells the story of the brothers who committed regicide, the act that plunged the kingdom into decay and torment. From this initial situation, the protagonists embark on a spiritual journey of self-examination in a tortured landscape. This is the story of the beginning of their exile.

Full-length album from German black metal visionaries DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT, delivers some of this decade's finest melodic black metal. A vast and immersive album, 'Stellar' delivers both fierce speed and burning intensity, as well as moving, deeply contemplative soundscapes. 'Stellar' is DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT's tour-de-force, and a world-class, modern metal album.
 

CD VERSION WITH PART I + PART II

Emerging at the end of 2019, Archvile King is the solo project of french multi-instrumentalist Baurus. Drawing from the sharp, biting sounds of retro Thrash and Black Metal, his music fully reflects his inspirations, offering intoxicating melodies over riffs as sharp as rusted steel. After a unashamedly Thrash Metal solo EP, followed by a darker full-length album, Archvile King now pulls us deeper into its world with a new concept album plunging further into the swamps of the King of Worms. With Aux Heures Désespérées, we are drawn into Black Metal infused with shades of Heavy Metal, Thrash, and grandiloquent tones, pulling us down into the depths.

Darkenhöld emerged in 2008 as a trio composed of Aldébaran, Cervantes and Aboth, with the ambition of creating a melodic, epic, atmospheric Black Metal imbued with the spirit of the 90s from which the band has always drawn most of its influences. The band's universe was established from the beginning around a dreamlike medieval imagination, roaming the deep forests, high mountains and mysterious caves of the South-East of France where the band is from. The old stones of fortified castles, fantastic bestiaries, tales and legends, the dense and complex landscapes of the Côte d'Azur are the sources of inspiration for a Black Metal that first stood out with the release of two self-produced split-CDs in 2009, mixing covers with original compositions. Introducing the group's emblematic animal, the Wyvern, and laying the first foundations of its universe, they prepared the ground for the release of a first album, "A passage to the towers...", released in 2010. The group would then release a second album, defended throughout a French tour, before introducing the French language in its third album, "Castellum", which would open new horizons for them. The release in 2017 of their fourth album, "Memoria Sylvarum", released as a self-production, would see the group access larger stages, culminating in a well-received performance at Hellfest in 2018. The year 2020 marked a further step with the signing of the group to the label "Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions" and the release of their fifth album, "Arcanes et Sortilèges".
