Riena are a brand-new duo hailing from the ever-fertile Finnish black metal underground, with Woewrb Korpinsiipi of Iätön among their ranks. Indeed, they're rooted in a foundation as equally old as those labelmates, but their particular dungeon of black metal is that of the deepest French and Finnish scenes of the late '90s: times of strife when the commercialization of "black metal" instigated in earnest a counterreaction of grim majesty. Riena effortlessly conjure those same spells across their public debut, the six-song / 28-minute mini-album Miekka ja Varjo. With Woewrb on vocals and rhythm guitar and Draghn on lead guitar, bass, and drums, the two men whip forth an alternately galloping / surging storm of hatred and despair. Raw yet righteous and mastered at Trollhouse Audio, the MLP sounds exceptionally era-authentic, with the lead-work ever so subtly suggesting newer dungeons to spelunk. This is Riena's first possession!

The re-release of CORPUS CHRISTII's The Fire God is truly an exciting event for fans of underground Black Metal. Originally released in 2001 by Hiberica and later reissued by Sadolust in 2006, the album has always been considered a vital part of the Portuguese Black Metal history. This edition marks the return of an essential piece of the genre that has been long sold out and in high demand.

The new edition features a re-arranged layout, includes the original tracklist, ensuring that the listener experiences the raw energy and atmosphere of the record as it was intended. Worth the mention, of Mayhem's iconic cover of "Buried by Time and Dust," which features a guest appearance by Necrobutcher on bass, making this release even more noteworthy for fans of both CORPUS CHRISTII and Mayhem alike.

Dystopia returns with their 5th studio album entitled: «De Verboden Diepte II: De Weg van de Meeste Weerstand», which is the direct successor for their previous album “De Verboden Diepte I” which was released 2 years ago.

Once again the band explores their sound with much diversity and dwells even deeper into the atmospheric black metal sound combined with post metal riffs, experimenting wider with their orchestra and trumpets yet holding close to the original essence of old school black metal.

“De Verboden Diepte II” delivers only 2 songs, yet what a journey these 2 lengthy tracks present. The album goes from full fury with blast beats and shrieking vocals to calm dreamy post moments before it takes you into a medieval landscape of sounds. The guitars deliver a lot of variety from chord riffing to melodic parts to even a few outstanding solos and in combination with the beautiful trumpets, it creates the right atmosphere which the bass notes underlay perfectly. The drums are tight, offering a wide range of different tempos and structures which pushes the album to higher level. Last, but certainly above all not least! The vocals are tremendous!!! From screaming to clean shrieks, to mournful singing, an absolute pleasure to the ears while listening your way through this record.

It’s not often that a band can surpass a record that was already as perfect as it stands, but this doesn’t count for Dystopia! De Verboden Diepte II is of definitely of equal value as its predecessor if not even stronger! Once again these Dutchies delivered a solid, NO, a masterpiece of an album that every fan of Old School Black Metal, Atmospheric Black Metal and even Post or Pagan Black Metal can enjoy to the fullest from start til end! 

The album comes with a 28 page booklet + Poster and full artwork design. Limited to 500 copies on CD.

Azaghal, the black metal pioneers hailing from Finland are back with their 13th studio album “Nekrohelios”.

Another sinister record by these old timers showing the new kids on the scene how to produce a quality record in the traditional old school way of True Finnish Black Metal!
Compared to their 2 previous albums “Alttarimme on Luista Tehty” & “Valo Pohjoisesta”, you can clearly hear on Nekrohelios that Azaghal went back to their original sound and roots from their early albums such as their long time classic Mustamaa.

The album starts with a haunting keyboard piece that lures your right back into that early 90’s vibes followed by the first opening song in full fury and blast beats! Azaghal is known for their well written guitar melodies and structures, obscure sound and straight forward pounding battery combined with harsh vocals that shriek throughout the album.

However, there is also enough variety going on, mid tempo’s, break parts, choruses and a lot of keyboard pieces which create that sinister feeling (think of early emperor without sounding symphonic). Thirteen also delivers a lot of variety with his vocals, from harsh to low sounding screams, but also adding clean vocals and almost choir voices.

All in all, Azaghal once again delivered an album that is outstanding in the ways of True Black Metal and with this the veterans show that they’re still far from done! True Finnish Black Metal that every fan of real underground black metal will enjoy from start till finish.

Todomal are back with "A Greater Good", their new studio album. The Spanish duo formed by Christopher B. Wildman and Javier Fernández (Asgaroth, Nexus 6, The Heretic, Dejadeath, etc.) bring a collection of "dark songs" (as they like to define it), which began with the seeds planted in "Ultracrepidarian," their debut album, has evolved into a complex, dense, and unclassifiable album that takes us on a journey through somber landscapes, existential doubts, tragicomedy, and spiritual and personal unrest.

"A Greater Good" poses challenging questions, wrapped in musicthat is sometimes dark and at other times luminous, spanning from slow-tempo to progressive rock to quasi-mystical litanies. The path they embarked upon with their debut album, leading to desolate landscapes and the emptiness of the plateau, has continued into darker territories, reminiscent of tenebrist altarpieces, where doubts about what is right or wrong, what we do in this world to earn redemption, or why we have a nefarious tendency to destroy what we love are depicted against a smoldering forest.

The journey continues, despite the obstacles.

"A Greater Good" boasts ambitious production to accommodate all its elements, like pieces of a giant mosaic. Vocal harmonies, acoustic elements, and occasional orchestral arrangements blend with serpentine opera-rock pieces, making their way by clawing through the earth.
