Hailing from the mist-clad highlands of Scotland, SAOR is a band that breathes life into history with their majestic blend of black metal intensity and Celtic folk melodies. Guided by the spirit of Caledonia, SAOR's music transcends time, echoing the ancient tales of their homeland.
Amidst the melancholy ruins and the grandeur of nature, their new album, ‘Amidst the Ruins’, majestically intertwines the past with the present. From the haunting echoes of “Glen of Sorrow” that recounts the betrayal of the Massacre of Glencoe, to the forest's whispered secrets in “The Sylvan Embrace” featuring cellist Jo Quail, each track is a portal to Scotland’s rich heritage. With “Echoes of the Ancient Land” and “Rebirth”, listeners are invited on a journey through weathered glens and ethereal hills, where each melody reveals a narrative of strength, sorrow, and renewal.
This album is a tribute to the timeless landscapes and ancestral spirits, capturing the soul of a nation in every note.

"The music is massively heavy and steeped in the shocking misery of shattered bodies and pervasive death, and it’s also explosively violent, with searing riffs and soaring leads that, together with blazing drumwork and wrenching voices, raise visions of the horrible grandeur and mortifying terror of such man-made conflagrations as the battle to which these songs allude. It will really get your head moving, too - and I’m glad that 1914 have also continued to insert excerpts from period songs, as they do at their previous album." 

CD in deluxe Digipak with die-cut permitting to choose between 2 different covers and 8-page booklet.

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.

Re-release including bonus tracks “Les Sévices de la Peste’’ et ‘‘Corpus et Anima’’.

When SETH released their legendary debut “Les Blessures de l’Âme” in 1998 it was greeted with enthusiasm by reviewers and fans alike. The French combined harsh but melodic Black Metal with a well thought out concept on vampirism. The fiendish shrieks and rasps of vocalist Vicomte Vampyr Arkames combined with the fierce and cold buzzing of the crushing guitars delivered the ideal sound for their artistic expression. Brutal, dark and surprisingly catchy “Les Blessures de l’Âme” creates gothic atmospheres supported by intelligent keyboard textures. The album quickly gained the status of a cult classic that is hard to find as it is long sold out.

Svekkelse is the sixth full-length album from the Trondheim based black metal band Gjendød. The second album as a three-piece.
Svekkelse continues where the previous album Livskramper quit, but this time, the band has turned it all up a notch. The band never worked with their compositions with such an intensity before.
The eight songs presented goes from epic to deranged, from technical to primitive, and from sheer passiveness to outraged despair.
The lyrics are inspired by dark local lore and legends, both self experienced and learned. This might be the strongest album by Gjendød to now, again draped by the crushing sounds of the infamous NordStern studios.

DANHEIM is the work of Copenhagen-based musician and producer Reidar Schæfer Olsen, a leading voice in Nordic folk and Viking-inspired music. With over 1 billion streams and music featured in the Vikings TV series, DANHEIM has become a cornerstone of the genre.
‘Heimferd’ is a journey guided by instinct and atmosphere rather than a fixed mythological storyline. The album drifts between pounding percussive force and hushed minimalism, creating a soundscape that feels ancient yet alive. Each track evokes a return to something older and deeper: a cultural current running beneath memory, a call that is both familiar and distant. From the storm-driven rhythms of “Stormdans” to the haunting expanse of “Yggdrasil II”, DANHEIM balances intensity with restraint, weaving a sonic ritual that resonates with timeless Nordic heritage.
Entirely composed, performed, and produced by Olsen, ‘Heimferd’ stands is both an immersive listening experience and a personal letter to his ancestral heritage.
