CD

‘The Shine of Thagirion’ marks the third full-length album by the Costa Rican/German Black Metal band Umbra Conscientia. 

Built on the tension between relentless aggression and the cold, malignant atmosphere of its predecessor, the record moves into more claustrophobic territory, where violence and atmosphere are forced into a suffocating equilibrium. 

‘The Shine of Thagirion’ is Umbra Conscientia at its most oppressive, without abandoning the aggression that has always defined the band.

Relentless, scourging and transcendental black metal from Trondheim, Norway, with deep ties to the Terratur Possessions roster. Debut album Impure Stargazing offers unsettling, straight to the point Black Metal, gloves off. In a scene that’s losing itself to outside factors, it’s a breath of fresh air to get a proper punch in the face again!

Misotheist performed at Part 4 of the Caerimonia Nidrosiæ Festival in Trondheim — a performance worth documenting for the ages. Drawing on selections from their entire discography, it is a perfect summary of what the band possesses: 

the musicianship, the songwriting, and the delivery are simply out of this world, as you can now hear for yourself in this 55-minute recording of one of the best shows I’ve ever attended. 

Second press of Aborym's new album, comes as a 6 panels digipak with booklet

Omegashift returns with The Burden Of Storms, an organic and deeply personal take on melodic doom metal. Rooted in classic heavy metal and hard rock, the Norwegian band combines crushing heaviness, unexpected turns and a distinctive female vocal into something uniquely their own. Recorded without click tracks, autotune or drum quantization, the album captures the raw interaction between five musicians — flaws, emotion and all. A record that rewards focused listening and reveals more with every spin.

Double cd in brilliant jewel case. Comes with 20 page booklet on 135gsm art paper.
