Greek kings of black metal SEPTICFLESH's classic second album 'Esoptron' is finally available again!
Infectious but yet pummeling hooks give way to melodic interludes and then suddenly break into heavy passages with tortured, shrieked vocals; 'Esoptron' showcases a young SEPTICFLESH further honing their craft and cementing themselves among the heavy metal elite.
Long regarded as an essential record within the gothic metal world, 'Esoptron' is now fully remixed and remastered and features 3 bonus tracks!

Since their reunion SEPTICFLESH have established themselves as a leading force of symphonic Dark Metal with their critically acclaimed masterpieces “Communion” (2008) and “The Great Mass” (2011).
Yet the Greeks already won a dedicated and strong fan-base in their first incarnation as SEPTIC FLESH. Produced by former ROTTING CHRIST keyboardist and NEKROMANTIA founder Magus Wampyr Daoloth, their debut full-length “Mystic Places of Dawn” was released in 1994 and soon acquired cult status.
All trademark elements of SEPTICFLESH are already present such as their singing guitar sound and even classical influences. With interest in SEPTICFLESH surging to new heights following the release of “The Great Mass”, their cult beginnings with “Mystic Places of Dawn” and all songs of 1991’s “Temple of the Lost Race” EP added as bonus tracks will now be available anew!
A must have for all fans!

'A Fallen Temple', the fourth full-length in the long-running career of Greek metal luminaries SEPTICFLESH, occupied a unique space in the band's history upon its original release in '98. The album featured re-recordings from their savage debut LP 'Temple of the Lost Race' interspersed amongst some of the band's most avant-garde work to date. The heightened atmospherics, synthesized orchestration, and angelic soprano vocals affirmed the bold and adventurous creative direction the band had begun to follow, and was the perfect bridge to what was coming with 1999's 'Revolution DNA'.

When SEPTICFLESH released their comeback-album "Communion" in March 2009, the response was overwhelming.
The Greeks returned in triumph, had to answer more than a hundred interviews toured through Europe in spring and will again with Cradle of Filth in December. This success has led to a dramatically increased demand for SEPTICFLESH's 5th and now out-of-print classic "Sumerian Daemons" originally released in 2003 on the meanwhile dissolved label Hammerheart Records.
Now Season of Mist brings back this sought-after neo-classical masterpiece of extreme music, which fuses cinematic orchestral passages with melodic Dark Metal at the border of Black, Death and Gothic Metal.

For fans of FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, ROTTING CHRIST, BEHEMOTH, EX DEO, MOONSPELL.

NARGAROTH Era of Threnody

Era of Threnody burns with rage and repose - a war cry from a battlefield long forgotten, a remembrance of sorrows past, present, and future. Across its 65-minute landscape, the 10 songs which comprise Era of Threnody paint a portrait of NARGAROTH at its most dynamic: nearly every unique era of the band is represented, but executed with a startling sense of professionalism. But let it be known that "professionalism" in no way should be conflated with mainstream ambitions, for this is still pure 'n' pristine BLACK METAL in all its monochromatic grandeur. More accurately, perhaps, Era of Threnody is the sound of NARGAROTH at the height of its powers, well rested from the studio hiatus and eager 'n' emboldened by an upcoming European tour with Absu and Hate.

MÖRK GRYNING stands as a shrine to the raw, untamed essence of the Swedish black metal genre. Formed in the cold embrace of the '90s, these dark lords have carved their own path, eschewing trends for a sound that pays homage to the forebears while relentlessly pushing forward.
Their latest offering, 'Fasornas Tid', is a visceral journey through the abyss of the human psyche. With tracks like "Tornet" featuring ferocious guest vocals from C of AVSLUT and "Before The Crows Have Their Feast," laden with apocalyptic harmonies, the album blends melodic black metal with death metal ferocity. Recorded, mixed, and mastered in Wing Studios by Sverker Widgren, and featuring artwork by the enigmatic C-G, Fasornas Tid delves into themes of inner turmoil, the eternal conflict of good and evil, and the insatiable hunger for self-destruction.
It’s a dystopian symphony that harkens back to their iconic 'Tusen år har gått...' era, yet it's unmistakably a product of now—a battle cry for the forsaken.

For fans of DISSECTION, DARK FUNERAL, MARDUK, 1349.

After fifteen years of slumber, the sleepers are asleep no more, the dead are resting peacefully no more. One of Sweden’s legendary black metal bands MÖRK GRYNING are about to unleash their wrath upon the masses with ‘Hinsides Vrede’,

Translating into ‘otherworldly wrath’ or ‘wrath of the world beyond’, ‘Hinsides Vrede’ represents the doom of pre-historic cultures as well as our impending doom while the world is cracking at its seams. It is a furious assault upon the civilized world and a descent into the nether regions of the world beyond.

MÖRK GRYNING again found the synergy they had while writing their legendary debut record and return to their foundations by balancing melody with straightforward brutality. Yet, by striving to reinvent themselves with every record, the long-awaited comeback of the band is by no means a reiteration of a glorious musical past.

Join us into the maelstrom!

It has been seven long years since MAYHEM released their fourth and latest full-length ‘Ordo ad Chao’. Rejuvenated by the recruitment of Teloch (of NIDINGR fame) in replacement of iconic guitarist / composer Blasphemer who left the fold in 2008, the spearhead of Black Metal is back stronger than ever before with a new album. ‘Esoteric Warfare’ demonstrates how perfectly Teloch has captured the essence and spirit of the Norwegian legend by linking the band back to its roots, while at the same time taking a step forward into the leading position of the genre instead of dwelling in nostalgia. ‘Esoteric Warfare’ is a full-scale assault of total dark savagery, where Attila's inhumane vocals are entirely based on a concept dealing with the esoteric experimentations of the nuclear powers during the cold war.

'Unsettling Whispers', the first full-length effort from GAEREA, was a massive step forward for the young band upon its 2018 release.
On it they shaped and sharpened their attack into an onslaught replete with intense, soul-searing peaks and heart-rending valleys.
In many ways, 'Unsettling Whispers' is the realization of the cathartic black metal that has become their forte, and that they continue to hone to epic new heights.
