CD

True Norwegian Outlaw Country.

DEATHBARREL’s first full-length in 14 years.
"Life Resignation Notice", deals in dark outlaw country from the cold and ruthless edges of Norway. A soundtrack for empty roads, bad decisions, broken hearts and the ghosts that refuse to stay buried. Driving guitars, whiskey-soaked melodies and stories dragged straight from the shadows - where Southern Gothic meets the bleakness of the North. No pretty lies. No redemption promised. Just True Norwegian Outlaw Country.
"Life Resignation Notice" is an album so steeped in darkness that it's bound to cross over and thrive with any genre found down below. See DEATHBARREL take the stage and set a new world order.

19 Tracks, includes bonus ep

2003 edition on Mutilation Records

Re-Release with one bonus track "Golden Dust - Acoustic Version"

“The Circle” deals with the cycle of life, death and rebirth. Interweaving crushing heaviness and atmospheric dreaminess, the album portrays a deeply emotional journey – a life dedicated to the sun and to freedom.

DUIR’s upcoming album, CATARSI (2026, AOP), represents their most ambitious work yet. Set during the First World War, it follows a young soldier caught between pride, despair, and oblivion. Through atmospheric black metal intertwined with evocative folk elements, Catarsi guides listeners on a cathartic journey where history becomes emotion and memory turns into sound.

For more than two decades, Finsterforst have been shaping their own distinctive voice within extreme metal, continuously evolving both musically and lyrically without ever losing their core identity. Their sound merges elements from a wide spectrum of heavy music — from black and folk-inspired roots to epic, atmospheric and post-metal influences — forming a style they refer to as “Black Forest Metal”: a blend that feels both deeply rooted and entirely its own.

Rather than fitting into a single label, their music thrives on contrast and fusion: crushing heaviness meets vast, cinematic atmospheres; raw aggression unfolds into melancholic, emotional depth; and monumental arrangements carry a sense of both intimacy and scale. While often described in broader terms as epic, atmospheric or post-influenced extreme metal, Finsterforst deliberately transcend genre boundaries.

The result is a sound that is brutally powerful yet richly layered, where sadness, rage, triumph and grandeur coexist within expansive compositions. Driven by constant progression and a refusal to stand still, Finsterforst continue to refine a vision that is as immersive as it is unmistakable

Are you ready to be initiated by the four archetypes within?
With these songs, Sowulo founder Faber Horbach intentionally invokes his inner Warrior, Lover, King and Magician and hopes it will help you to do the same. This album is all about growing into a mature human being by connecting with the power of the four archetypes, and consciously walking together with them on the adventure we call the wheel of life. These compositions express his interpretation of the four archetypes which he connects to the four seasons within and without, and so they follow the cyclical nature of mann.

‘MANN’ was initially released in August 2019; composed and produced by Faber Horbach. The album has amassed over 2,6M streams.

With immersive songs, Sowulo celebrates our great pagan legacy and takes an inner spiritual journey. The lyrics and the music, created with (early) medieval and contemporary instruments combined with cinematic sounds and voice, invoke archetypical wisdom and express the cyclical nature of existence.

Sowulo is a project formed by the Dutch multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Faber Horbach. With a great passion for music, history and shamanism, Faber has a need for creating melancholic and meaningful songs full of spirit and depth, he has inspired thousands of listeners around the world to connect with their cyclical and spiritual nature through his music.

SOWULO is the musical project of Dutch composer Faber Horbach, rooted in the spiritual philosophy of ancient Northern Europe and built around a remarkable range of historical instruments. Originally self-released in 2016, ‘Sol’ now found its home in the Season of Mist catalogue.
Named after the Norse sun goddess whose horses pull the chariot of light across the sky while the wolf Sköll gives eternal chase, ‘Sol’ is an album conceived as both myth and calendar. Its thirteen tracks trace the pagan year wheel from its beginning—the primordial void of Ginnungagap—through the eight seasonal festivals, and out the other side into the closing gallop of Arvakr and Alsvidr, the sun goddess's two horses. Where SOWULO's debut ‘Alvenrad’ was orchestral and piano-led, ‘Sol’ strips everything back to an acoustic core built on bouzouki, hammered dulcimer, nyckelharpa, Celtic harp, viola, and woodwinds. The effect is less meditative weight and more kinetic celebration: the same mythological territory, mapped with lighter feet and a more rhythmic pulse. Chloé Bakker's harp opens a new harmonic dimension, Pan Bartkowiak's percussion provides a dancing undercurrent, and Klaartje van Zwoll's viola and vocals weave through the arrangements with chamber-music precision. The result is something CeltCast aptly described as "pagan folk meets chamber music"—earthy and ceremonial, but also intimate and finely crafted.
This is music with a structural logic as much as an atmospheric one, each track a seasonal marker in a larger cosmological cycle.

For fans of WARDRUNA, HEILUNG, DANHEIM, EIVØR.

In the wake of 2025’s “The Sinking Isle”, Oromet’s eponymous debut album is finally receiving a full vinyl and CD release. Originally issued on cassette in 2023, the record stands as a stunning ode to loss, longing, and despair.

Crystalline guitars rise from a foundation of dark, churning murk, while angelic synthesizers stretch skyward, soaring among the crags and stars. The music evokes the feeling of watching life’s happiest moments fade into memory like the light of a distant setting sun.

The legendary Heavy Metal band CIRITH UNGOL will unleash their seventh full-length album, "All The Shadows", via No Remorse Records.

Formed in Ventura, California in the early 1970s, Cirith Ungol is a band with a remarkable story, creating a unique and original sound. From the eccentric and mysterious debut album "Frost And Fire", to the heavier and darker "King Of The Dead" and "One Foot In Hell", Cirith Ungol's music and lyrical themes offered to the world epic, apocalyptic and doom-filled music. In 1991, Cirith Ungol released "Paradise Lost", an album that became a fan-favourite over the years, but led them to oblivion and they disbanded a year later.

The myth was getting stronger, the demand was getting bigger, the passion started taking over. In 2015, Cirith Ungol reunited, offering to the world the live shows they were waiting for! It was a dream come true for many fans. More than that, the band also recorded two more albums, "Forever Black" in 2015 and "Dark Parade" in 2023, expanding their legacy and getting the recognition they deserved. Not only in the underground metal scene, as the leaders and founders of cult, arcane and obscure metal, but in Heavy Metal in general. In 2024, it was announced that Cirith Ungol would perform their last shows, but two years later, the beast could not rest and the fire still burns.

"All the Shadows" is a classic Cirith Ungol album in every sense of the word. Furthermore, it is not an exaggeration that this album is one of the band's strongest efforts ever! Few bands can claim that they recorded a record equal to their older, established and classic albums, and even fewer can support a solid statement that a new album after decades can look in the eyes, or even top, their classic albums. Cirith Ungol actually did it. This album was the culmination of their desire to keep forging their unique brand of true metal.

"All the Shadows" recorded at The Captains Quarters, Ventura, CA. Engineered, mixed and mastered by Armand John Anthony. Produced by Cirith Ungol and Armand John Anthony. Executive Producer: Jarvis Leatherby. The incredible cover art is created by the acclaimed fantasy artist Michael Whelan.
