Limited 250 copies - 2024 repress in solid white vinyl

The Belarusian quintet delivers a fast-paced, cold and pure black metal which is looking at both the classic European sound and its more contemporary interpretations. You will find loads of riffs, as well as the odd solo and melodic hook, which will relentlessly drag you toward the Darkness.

2023 Edition
180g. black Vinyl

Songs talks about landscapes, cohabitation between man and nature, the music is deeply inspired by Cascadian black metal bands like Wolves in the Throne Room, Alda…
At times you might get the feeling that this is music being piped through from another time. It is music mercifully free of the tropes that trip us up and the trends that scratch on the grubby windows of the music scene.
‘Samoht Nara’ is music dedicated to the natural and listening to it feels like a rare, beautiful privilege.
 

Eighth album by the legendary Handful Of Hate, once again a fierce demonstration of how black metal should be done. Violent, dark, unsettling!

Gladium Regis was born in the early 2000s as a collaboration between Arcanist Augur Svafnir and Salinoch. The duo recorded The Dark Stronghold (2003), an unreleased demo. Though never published, the demo songs and ideas carried forward and have been later reworked for Draugr (the Italian pagan black metal band which Svafnir co-founded and fronted in 2000s).

Even before Gladium Regis or Draugr, Svafnir had been experimenting with folky synth and dark electronic compositions, collected under the demo "Svafnir – Let the Ravens Come". Years later, those early sketches became the foundation for “Kingdom” (2020), a dungeon synth release created in London as an atmospheric backdrop for tabletop campaigns. “Kingdom” served as both a resurrection of the Gladium Regis banner as a solo dungeon synth act and a bridge between past experiments and future directions. “Kingdom” received some attention and has been released as CD and MC format.

2 CD + booklet
“Inside The Unreal” by Electrocution was one of the first and most famous old school death metal albums released in Italy in 1993. Reissued several times through the years, this version is a 2CD edition with all the demos and eps released by the band before the debut. The booklet has been redesigned with new liner notes. This 2CD version has only been released once, by Dark Symphonies in 2017, and it is now sold-out and difficult to find.
A relentless attack made of tight tempos, primitive growls and thrashy riffing, “Inside The Unreal” is considered a minor-classic of the death metal sound of the early nineties.

FINALLY REISSUED ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ITALIAN
EPIC BLACK METAL ALBUM OF ‘90s

Year 1999: Europe was taken by storm by black metal, the leading force in extreme music. Actually, black metal has been mutating its primary grim and satanic force since the mid-90s and words such as symphonic, epic and melodic started appearing in the bands' descriptions.

Unexpectedly from Italy came a force capable of uniting all these inputs: in summer, under the Last Episode inprint, Stormlord released their debut album "Supreme Art Of War". The eight tracks of the record united the symphonism of bands such as Dimmu Borgir or Bal-Sagoth to melodies coming from epic and power metal and the record became a hot-topic in the European press in a couple of months.

In songs such as "Where My Spirit Forever Shall Be" or "War (The Supreme Art)" Stormlord are able to create solid fantasy-themed hymns for an audience eager to experience sensations akin to Cradle Of Filth, Graveworm and Summoning, with lyrics bathed in fantasy worlds and myths.
