CD

The first full-length album from America’s most vile and raw black metal act, Ärid. Utterly evil and utterly devastated, it is composed of feral performances that sound as though a forsaken, dying body has gathered its last strength to annihilate the enemies who abandoned it. Beyond the rusted gates, the revenge of the slaughtered victims dreams in silence. First-ever CD edition from Hidden Marly Production!

'Within The Flesh' , where the atmospheres of Finnish and Norwegian black metal collide. It reeks of majesty, grimness and morbidity.
Hailed by Doedsadmiral as their "most bizarre and raw album to date", Within The Flesh promises a relentless journey. Unusual, eccentric, and uncompromising.

Following the atmospheric and introspective journey of their previous works, this new record marks a clear evolution in the band’s sound, embracing a more sinuous and emotionally driven approach.

“Memories in Fade” expands the band’s black-doom foundation with layers of ’90s alternative rock, ambient textures and neo-folk influences, creating a complex yet cohesive sonic narrative. Unlike conventional song structures, the album seeks a storytelling quality, where each track contributes to a broader, immersive experience while remaining grounded in the project’s artistic identity.

Great things are on the horizon with the debut of French band OPPRESSION and their vehement, multifaceted, and profound black metal of the highest order!

Old buddies, scouring concert halls and bars, G.S.V (vocals) and Tom L (guitar) decided to form a band together, allowing them to control the composition and direction from start to finish. Faced with a growing number of ambient-oriented releases, they wanted to raise the tone with a very straight forward project. Speed, power, and a touch of melody (added with some healthy hate) – this is how they laid the foundations for OPPRESSION, quickly joined by Predark (guitar).
Once the composition of the first album was well underway, they brought in two well-known musicians from the Bordeaux scene to fill the positions on drums and bass: the brothers John (Otargos, Lifestream) and Désert (Lifestream). Together, they finalized this first opus "No Safe Place", ready to hit you without restraint!
OPPRESSIONs lyrics are mostly about religion and a little bit about constatation on the society evolution. Only the last song is different, dealing with sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll (so as not to lose sight of the important things).
Whether it's the music or the lyrics, OPPRESSION didn't try to make something pompous or bombastic, just something frank, direct, and effective. – Hail the Oppression!
