10th anniversary 2CD version of Touched, originally released on CD by Alien8 Recordings and LP by Conspiracy Records, now available again on Consouling Sounds with a bonus disc of demo versions of the full album, recorded at Commonwealth Studios in Toronto.

If classic outputs from DARKTHRONE, ENSLAVED, EMPEROR or ISENGARD et al. make your blood boil, you should make sure to purchase HERSIR`s album and immerse yourself in its Northern Black Metal excellence. Despite having already been incepted in 2016 by Grim Vindkall who is primarily known for his band DOMGÅRD, Swedish HERSIR have up until this point kept a rather low profile. With only three demos to their name – none of which released physically – the horde has remained a rather obscure entity. Once released, chances are that the sheer quality of HERSIR`s first full-length effort Hateful Draugar From The Underground will rectify that situation in no time, though. Completely devoid of unnecessary gimmicks of any sorts, HERSIR are all content and no show. For a change, everything – the well-written lyrics dealing with Nordic spirituality of the shadow side, the music, the visual presentation – feels genuine and without any infantile pretence. Their very aptly titled album convinces with hateful and majestic Black Metal of a distinctively northern nature. The vocals brimming with contempt and savagery are one of the highlights of the full-length. Vocalist Haugbúi’s rather low, raspy tone and pestilent delivery seem like the perfect fit for HERSIR’s rather simple and stripped-down compositions. Overtly complex structures are left out to augment the war-like quality of the recording and in favour of conjuring epic atmospheres often built upon melodies stemming from the old Nordic tradition. The impact of some of the memorable riffs is further increased by the sporadic inclusion of keyboards. Overall, this album is the real deal and deserves to be attentively listened to by anyone into genuinely dark Black Metal.

The debut full-length of Paradox Mysticism will be soon available on LP and CD.

35 min of pure magic divided into five ethereal hymns full of melodic parts and dreamy passages that consolidate Paradox Mysticism among the best acts of 2024.

And here float the remains of this gloomy world… The debut album of Gulguhk – another incarnation of Finian Patraic of Ifernach, Aufnorden, Moosegut – was released on tape last year by Tour de Garde, and will now see the well-deserved LP and CD treatment on ASRAR. Four more amulets of triumphant Gespeg Black Metal that deserve the attention of any true disciple of the dark arts.

The pendant swings once again. Ebony Pendant is back with the second full-length album and it’s the best material they have ever recorded. Him and his demons.
Relentless pounding blasts of black energy intertwined with corrupted acoustic hymns, and elegiac guitar leads move like quicksilver – like they have a life of their own. More epic than ever, this one-hour journey proves again that Ebony Pendant is the dark star showing the way to those who are lost in the light.
