Back in stock

Joined by eon[0] from Progenie Terrestre Pura the band unleashes a new opus of unpredictable music showing off its best album to date; musical extremism merges with the band’s inborn avantgardish attitude in a new mind blowing sonic identity.
Under the visionary artistic direction of FRANCESCO GEMELLLI, produced and mastered at 322Studio and with special guest Greg Chandler from ESOTERIC, URNA marks the borders of madness in music.
ATMF is going once again to support the band producing its third full length album and an artistic new beginning in doom, URNA was a founder band for this label and will continue in shaping dark art under this artistically independent banner.
 

Hailing from Chile, Lascar is back with their sophomore release, “Saudade”, an album that moves exactly along the lines of its illustrious predecessor (“Absence”, 2016), underlining once again the band’s naturalistic approach and marking a perfect syncretism of those feelings of loss, fragility and desperation that have always been LASCAR’s trademark.
Their emotional post-black metal offers a unique interpretation of the apparent conflict on the naturalistic experience. The “Saudade” implies a sense of abandon and a nostalgic mourning manifested within an artistic environment.
 

On the ninth full-length with the tell-tale title of "Subject to Change", XASTHUR took a musical leap of faith: Mastermind, multi-instrumentalist, and singer Scott Conner abandoned black metal as a form of musical expression for the time being, and turned to something stylistically rather comparable to acid folk and neofolk instead. Keeping the minimalistic approach of his previous albums, but embarking on a long journey through the dark underbelly of the American dream, Conner created his own brand of dark Americana. XASTHUR were originally conceived by Scott Conner in California, USA in the year 1995. The project started out in the vein of bleak black metal in the tradition of the Nordic second wave. Over the course of nine albums and a host of split-singles, EPs, and occasional demos, XASTHUR's individual, particularly depressive style became highly regarded within the extreme genre. In 2010, Scott announced the end of XASTHUR and returned with an acoustic dark folk project under the banner of NOCTURNAL POISONING. In 2015, the American artist returned to the name XASTHUR, but insisted that his black metal days were over. On his so far latest album, "Inevitably Dark", XASTHUR have partly lifted the self-imposed ban on black metal, simply because Conner simply did like he felt.

The traditional three year wait is over, and Hoest has now completed the sixth Taake album.

"Stridens hus" takes the unique Taake sound and develops it further.
Still true to the spirit of the old Norwegian Black Metal, Hoest breathes new life into the genre by introducing different elements that ensure the sound remains fresh and relevant. Some parts are more groove and rock orientated, whilst some have a distinctly punk attitude. However, this is still unmistakably Taake and, as always, we're treated to a varied album with intense, unique and unpredictable dynamics.

“Avvik” translates to anomaly or deviation. And even though Taake have been recognized as an important act within the Norwegian Black Metal scene for decades, they have always stood on the outside of main currents of black metal, a scene once founded by deviants and outcasts. In this context, “Avvik” also refers to this particular collection of songs, as the album compiles tracks which never really fitted in to any of the Taake releases, and hence ended up on three split-10” with Whoredom Rife, Deathcult and Helheim, released on different labels. “Avvik” collects the Taake tracks from the three split-10” releases for a limited digipak cd release. All tracks have been remixed and remastered for a digital release, and some of the remixes have some surprising guest appearances. Exclusively for this release, Dr Mikannibal of Sigh did Taake the honour of adding her saxophone to a slightly longer version of the Sisters of Mercy cover “Heartland”. Also, live guitarist Gjermund have done a very special acoustic version of the classic track “Nattestid ser Porten vid I”, which is exclusive for this release. “Avvik” closes one chapter for Taake and opens for a new one.

After releasing the debut album from his Serment project earlier this year, Moribond is back with something completely different, namely his ambient project Oublieth. Falling somewhere in-between what some would call dungeon synth and the much more cinematographic scopes of artists like Tangerine Dream, Vangelis and Klaus Schulz, Oublieth draws its inspiration in classic 70’s and 80’s fantasy themes, as evidenced by a recording done entirely with analog synthesizers as well as the stunning cover art by renowned Dungeons and Dragons and Ravenloft artist Stephen Fabian. This enthralling ambient journey is strictly limited to 500 copies…

Since 2015, Pénitence Onirique have been pursuing the quest to transcribe as faithfully as possible everything that gravitates in their mind. Each album has its own theme, that takes the listener through an epic and introspective fresco. Today, the line-up is as solid on studio as it is on stage, with the desire to develop its universe without taking the easy way out, and to reshuffle the creative deck with each new release. Ideas and efforts have become a common force in "Nature Morte", which invites you to lose yourself in the twists and turns of Men's desires. 

Finally available on Cd, in limited edition Digipak, " Vardøger" (2023), the second album by the unknown artist Demian through his creature A DIFFERENT CLOUD.
