Digipack

Haxandraok unearth and revive the ancient locus of KI SI KIL UD DA KAR RA, a brazen mantra of Qliphothic Sorcery and primordial Witchcraft. Unto this nemeton to the Other, the Art of Magia Negra becomes a blade, athame and cleaver, reaping the shroud of Corpus Mundi to unveil the crimson mysteries of Hexcraft and Necromancy. Unspeakable primal traditions are generated upon a diverse yet interdependent polarity, the sinister archetypes of the Witch and Warlock, the daemonic Initiators to the Black Arts and twin-bearers of the Key of NOX. Gamaliel forms an infernal coalescence with Chagiel, trembling across time and firmament from the Cernunnian groves to the Chaldean shrines, as the seeds are sown and reapt with flaming sickles. Thus, KSVDKRA becomes the inverted Azure, the torch of Malefica on the crossroad amidst the unmapped seas to the Beyond, the fiery gaze of DRAKON tearing the Worlds apart.

Apokryphon is the new project by Zorgh, Darkspace founding member and bassist. This new band has nothing to do with Darkspace, hence it would be inappropriate to make any kind of comparison between the two. Quite the opposite, after twenty years crafting a certain kind of music (and a certain kind of black metal), the Bern-based musician wanted to explore something different, and this is why you should expect a totally distant approach to both themes and sounds. The multi-instrumentalist even chose a new alias for herself, here going by the name of Ophis.

We asked Ophis herself to express her thoughts about this new adventure she embarked on, which you can read hereunder: Apokryphon literally means "hidden" or "dark" and refers to the apocrypha, old esoteric scriptures written by a variety of people that were either actively hidden or controversial and therefore excluded from public viewing or biblical content, for example. Many of them were found to be heretical, some were related to gnosticism. Many of them were written in the geographical area of the Middle East about 2000 years ago. ”Subterra" thematically relates to themes treated in the apocrypha. Musically, it is rooted in black metal, decorated with oriental spices. It is an expression of my own personal and musical identity and themes that touch me generally. I have chosen to liberally interpret both apocryphal texts and black metal in my very own way. And with "Djinn" I have found the perfect voice to interpret most of the vocal aspects. 

After more than a decade of cooperation, at Avantgarde Music we have the utmost respect for the Swiss trio, and when one of the few women in the black metal world expressed her wish to produce an (almost) solo album we knew we wanted to give her our full support before even hearing a single note. Once we had Subterra in our hands, we were but proven right.

We hope you’ll find Apokryphon as interesteing as fascinating as we did. Subterra is scheduled for release on the 14th of February, 2020.

Some time ago the final pieces were laid for the collaboration between Orcivus and Flagellant, resulting in a split release, that we hereby proudly present. 

Following a period of silence since 2010, ORCIVUS return in force in unholy collaboration with countrymen FLAGELLANT, whom now follow up on the sophomore album Maledictum released in 2013. 
This split album features four new tracks per band, with a total playtime of 37 minutes with art through the genius hands of Karmazid.

Swedish black/death metal made at Sunlight Studio!

Sixth studio album from Malta's death metal outfit & biggest metal export, Beheaded. 

Forged from the darkest depths, "Only Death Can Save You" breathes violence and marches fearlessly down its death metal path. Summoning the visceral classic and the caustic edge of later death metal, the new punishing album spreads its aural horror with razor sharp precision.
