Avantgarde Music is proud to announce their collaboration with Saidan, an Eastern horror-themed band from Nashville, TN.

Born in 2020, Saidan released three studio albums so far, mixing the weird, over-the-top aesthetic of visual kei with fast, melodic riffing in the vein of labelmates Moonlight Sorcery.

Fangdriller: Scars Beneath Memories Wrist is the fourth studio album born from the minds of multi-instrumentalist Splatterpvnk and drummer Hundosai, a new chapter in the narrative concept that links together all Saidan releases. In the band’s own words, Fangdriller follows the story of a student named Junko, depressed and miles away from the people she loves. In the depths of her isolation, she finds comfort in a mysterious cult called Ethereal Blood. But unbeknownst to Junko, her anguished seclusion has made her the perfect victim.

Formed in 2020 by AS, Inherits The Void is a French project of atmospheric and melodic black metal, inspired by the frozen visions of Vinterland, the incantatory fury of Misþyrming, and the melodic intensity of Dawn.

Since its inception, the project has explored the tension between melody and atmosphere, blending emotional intensity with celestial melancholy. Through several releases - Monolith of Light (2021), The Impending Fall of the Stars (2023), Scars of Yesteryears (2024), all released via Avantgarde Music - Inherits The Void has established itself as a singular voice within the modern French black metal scene.

The Silent Abscission, the fourth Inherits The Void studio album, is a true turning point: a concept album about erasure, cosmic implosion, and isolation. Conceived as a journey through eight visions, it moves between incantatory convulsions and silent abysses, leading to an inevitable and overwhelming resolution. Like the collision of celestial bodies, the music whirls, riffs lash, dissonances burn, and harmonies collapse into silence. A total black metal experience, where matter and spirit are consumed within the same incantation, standing at the frontier between despair and eternity.

Stormkeep return with symphonic black metal that feels hand-built and world-sized: sweeping orchestration, driving momentum, and a darkly radiant sense of grandeur. Bridging distant, mythic eras with the urgency of the present, their songs unfold as transporting epics—majestic, precise, and utterly absorbing.

The relentless force known as Hammerfilosofi returns this October with their most uncompromising work to date — SIGNUM. A testament to sonic extremity, SIGNUM is more than an album — it’s a proclamation. A declaration of resistance, mysticism, and philosophical warfare delivered with unwavering intent.

The recording of Absolute Elsewhere with All Gates Open (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) includes a 73-minute documentary. Now available on home video, this documentary takes you deep into the legendary Hansa Tonstudios as the band rehearses and records, featuring appearances from members of Tangerine Dream, Hällas, and Sijjin. The soundtrack and documentary were initially available only in the Deluxe Artbook edition of Absolute Elsewhere.
