CD

Samael “Worship Him” was the very first release from Osmose Productions.
We are proud to get the permission from Century Media to issue this cult album again. Featuring the original cover artwork for a CD and VINYL version.

Issued in a 4-panel Digipak with clear tray.
Limited to 500 copies.

Like solitarily gazing at the downtown lights of the city at night from the window of a darkened room, “Secret Grief” features the guest talents of vocalist Phil Swanson and Leila Abdul-Rauf on trumpet. The tranquil interlude of “Murmur Of Voices” gives way to the evocative “Unrequited” that begins with a lonely solo guitar before transitioning into a drifting daze of afternoon reverie and subconscious meditation.

Finally comes the album’s epic bookend, sixteen minute closer “Ecstatic Reign.” It features perhaps the album’s heaviest straight doom moments along with the return of Tide Turns Eternal featured guest voices McKenna Rae and Richard Poe. Tomb Mold drummer / throat Max Klebanoff also appears for a shattering back and forth vocal tradeoff with DeTore. The album’s cinematic vision and painstaking colorful detail are fully encompassed bringing this enthralling journey to its enduring peak.

DIGIPAK CD WITH 16 PAGES BOOKLET 

If anybody else were to release an album that sounded as remarkably close as "Haavard" to ULVER's magical acoustic masterpiece "Kveldssanger", which stunned the Norwegians' followers with its radiant beauty in 1996 and that also contained a track entitled 'Kveldssang II' – that musician would be accused of blatant plagiarism. Yet guitarist and vocalist Håvard Jørgensen is the musical mastermind behind both, "Kveldssanger" and "Haavard", which means that his debut album as a solo-artist is in part a legitimate follow-up to ULVER's folkish excursion into acoustic sounds that he realised with the help of many excellent guest musicians – including vocals by Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg. Under the banner of HAAVARD, the Norwegian continues his unique artistic approach that unveils the epic and sublime melodies, which are deeply rooted in his native land's folklore. Through its acoustic and largely instrumental translation, Jørgensen lays bare the spectacular layers of cinematic beauty that hide underneath Norwegian black metal. Throughout the 90s, Jørgensen was an integral part of Oslo's fast rising black metal scene. After joining ECZEMA and continuing when the trio turned towards black metal with a new singer under the new name SATYRICON, Jørgensen also became a part of the black scene's progressive spearheads ULVER. Although feeling somewhat disenchanted with black metal for a while, Jørgensen continued to appear in various formations and for example contributed acoustic guitars to MYRKUR's "M" (2015) and live album "Mausoleum" (2016). In 2019, the guitarist founded new Oslo black metal act DOLD VORDE ENSD NAVN together with three current and former members of DØDHEIMSGARD. With his passion for the darker side of music re-kindled, Jørgensen decided to pick up the loose ends of the beautiful musical thread that "Kveldssanger" had left behind with his self-named solo-project HAAVARD. Audibly adding many years of experience, "Haavard" again invites us on an acoustic journey into the beating melodic heart of dark Nordic music.

Comes in a 4-panel gatefold sleeve with a 20-page booklet and a printed wallet. All copies come in black polycarbonate CD.

15 years since formation the inimitable cult of Norway’s DØDSENGEL ('angel of death') has grown exponentially, reaching its apex on 5th full-length "Bab Al On", a devotional work of idiosyncratic spiritual Black Metal.

Blessed by a production job of crystalline excellence and capped by an astonishing tour-de-force vocal performance, "Bab Al On" is a hypnotic melting pot, a deep trip into the minutiae of Occultism which requires immersive listening to navigate.

Comes as a 4-panel digipack with an 8-page booklet containing lyrics. Limited to 200 copies.

MERIHEM is a new invoked black metal entity, an international endeavor created by five individuals: Nero (OCULUS, MANETHEREN), YhA (SUFFERING HOUR), Beast (FROSTMOON ECLIPSE, MANETHEREN), Tiúval (ISRATHOUM, HALF VISIBLE PRESENCE) and P.R.
The quintessence of their debut album is one of pure malediction. “Incendiary Darkness” is a toxic personalized voyage through the malevolent Qliphotic realms, bursting out as directed curses. A cryptic plea for disease, death and damnation.
