CD

Long-due official reissue!

Ships around June 5th 2026, limited to 250 copies.

Mithotyn’s Viking Metal classic remastered and with new artwork by Kris Verwimp!

First time on vinyl and digi-CD.

After releasing four demo tapes, Mithotyn finally put out their first full-length album in 1997. “In the Sign of the Ravens” might not quite reach the heights of the band’s later releases, but there’s still plenty here to enjoy. The album delivers a hard, cold take on Viking Metal, and at this early stage the band hadn’t yet fully embraced the stronger melodic elements that would become more prominent on later records.

If you’re already a fan of Viking or Black Metal, you’ll know roughly what to expect: longer songs with some variation, harsh growled vocals balanced with cleaner chorus sections, and a strong sense of atmosphere. It’s a familiar formula, but one that works well and captures what makes this style of music so enjoyable.

Hailing from eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania, IRONFLAME is a modern heavy metal outfit with traditionally-based ideals. Their fist-banging anthems hearken back to the sounds of such venerable acts as Dio, Omen, Riot, Iron Maiden and Fifth Angel. Multi-instrumentalist Andrew D'Cagna formed IRONFLAME in late-2016 as a solo project, but the group soon became a formidable live unit—performing at high-profile festivals such as Legions of Metal in the U.S. and Keep it True in Germany; alongside metal heavyweights such as Armored Saint, Grim Reaper, Flotsam & Jetsam, Venom and Loudness.

Since the band's inception, IRONFLAME has recorded a number of tracks for exclusive bonus content, compilations, splits, etc. Some have even remained unreleased... until now! The 10-song Compendium CD compiles tunes from the European vinyl pressings of Lightning Strikes the Crown and Tales of Splendor and Sorrow, the split 7" with Comaniac, the 10-year anniversary Storm Crusher LP, unreleased cuts from the Blood Red Victory sessions, and an unreleased acoustic take of "Marching On."

As fans first and foremost, Divebomb Records is excited to repackage these IRONFLAME rarities on one handy disc,

Inspired by growing up listening to epic metal legends such as Iron Maiden, Savatage, Helloween, and Judas Priest, multi-instrumentalist Andrew D'Cagna formed IRONFLAME in late-2016 as an outlet for crafting soaring, melodic heavy/power metal of his own. After the immensely positive response toward IRONFLAME's Divebomb Records debut, Lightning Strikes the Crown, motivation for a follow-up surfaced rather quickly. Utilizing the tried-and-true formula of "if it's not broken, don't fix it," the entire process remained largely the same—as fast and improvisational as before.
