On an important note, "Saturnalia" is announced as the final album of Selvans.
The third and last chapter of the Trilogy Lupercalia - Faunalia - Saturnalia.
Selvans is dead, long live Selvans! 

Born in 2014 as an atmospheric band blending black metal with traditional Italian folk music elements and deeply rooted in themes of local folklore, mythology, and dark cultural heritage, Selvans released two landmark albums "Clangores Plenilunio" and "Lupercalia".
In the mid of their career though the band let their 70's dark/prog background influences prevail in their new compositions, stylistically reaching a model they like to describe as "Dark Italian Art." This evolution was notable in the in subsequent releases (Faunalia, 2018 and Dark Italian Art, 2021).
Initially a duo, the band transitioned to a solo project under Selvans Haruspex in 2019 and we can definitely envision their music as heavy metal with black metal and prog-rock influences, lirically inspired by Italian folk-horror tales and imagery.
SELVANS has toured extensively around Europe - including performances at such festivals as Metaldays (Slovenia), De Mortem Et Diabolum (Germany), Metalowa Wigilia (Poland), Frantic Fest (Italy), Rites of the Black Mass (Romania), Dark Medieval Fest (France), Autumn Souls of Sofia (Bulgaria) and Emanations of the Absolute (Switzerland).  New album "Saturnalia" is entirely sung in Italian and sees for the first time an orchestra and a choir consisting of 60 elements playing side by side with SELVANS and his band.

With the new second album ‘Dreaming The Strife For Love’, Italy’s Bedsore have jumped headfirst into the progressive warmth and obscure atmospheres of the 1970s. Inspired by the mysterious renaissance-era book ‘Hypnerotomachia Poliphili’, the album musically weaves the concepts of love as a battlefield, where desire and devotion are tested through trials and spiritual awakenings, with visions of pagan temples, mystical gardens, and arcane symbols. An aspirational and operatic aura envelops ‘Dreaming The Strife For Love’, from the longer compositions and spacious production to the extravagant and diverse instrumentation that includes 12 string guitar, copious use of synthesizers, mellotron and organs, fretless bass, percussion and horns; the dynamic range of the album embracing the most crucial elements of prog rock’s lofty imagination.

This old and rancid sabbatical articulation was consecrated in morbid malignancy through archaic incunabula vampyric texts and the twisted philosophical structure of vinegar blood, the cadaveric cauldron with which these texts are nourished and bathed and the vibrational current of cryptic music, is embraced under the temple of heresy regarding the visions and the reverse trance anointed in mortal blood on octingenti black candles, unbaptized opus that serve as a funerary reminder towards the pestilent and monumental orchestrations of the "Vampyric Arts of Putrefaction".

The bestiality and ferocity are translated into a fiery and black barbaric cadence that is robustly justified with the putrid gloomy emblem of a distant black church, an unbaptized fortress of agonizing mist and black pylons of catacombs and unclean spirits. Die Schattenfestung serves a single evil purpose which is reflected under octingenti black candles of a rotten and cadaverous sound rehearsal as an album of primordial force towards vampyric raw black metal.

CD in deluxe Digipak with 16-page booklet.

MÖRK GRYNING stands as a shrine to the raw, untamed essence of the Swedish black metal genre. Formed in the cold embrace of the '90s, these dark lords have carved their own path, eschewing trends for a sound that pays homage to the forebears while relentlessly pushing forward.
Their latest offering, 'Fasornas Tid', is a visceral journey through the abyss of the human psyche. With tracks like "Tornet" featuring ferocious guest vocals from C of AVSLUT and "Before The Crows Have Their Feast," laden with apocalyptic harmonies, the album blends melodic black metal with death metal ferocity. Recorded, mixed, and mastered in Wing Studios by Sverker Widgren, and featuring artwork by the enigmatic C-G, Fasornas Tid delves into themes of inner turmoil, the eternal conflict of good and evil, and the insatiable hunger for self-destruction.
It’s a dystopian symphony that harkens back to their iconic 'Tusen år har gått...' era, yet it's unmistakably a product of now—a battle cry for the forsaken.

For fans of DISSECTION, DARK FUNERAL, MARDUK, 1349.

Comdemned to Suffer was recorded in Croydon UK and mixed by London-based Tide Music Studios. This is our 3rd album, the most personal so far, as no guest musicians participated during recording and lyrics are more mature and complex, mostly reflecting different struggles that we’ve overcomed in the past 5 years as a band. In the melodic death metal genre, we like to add black metal elements to the mix as well to make the music sound a bit darker and intense. We’ve been influenced mostly by death metal pioneers from 90’s but there are also modern elements in our music. We were influenced by the bands like The Carcass, At the Gates and Dissection, so our music can be described as ‘similar’ to these bands with a pinch of modern elements on top. We put great emphasis on this album and worked really hard to make it sound profound and we believe this is the most mature album that we’ve released so far.

In the vein of AT THE GATES, DISSECTION & CARCASS

With their anticipated debut full length Seraphic Punishment in 2022, Fargo’s Maul dropped one of the most memorable death metal earworms of the year. Coupled with the band’s relentless drive for bringing their music to the people live throughout the country, Maul’s reputation rapidly grew and a pact with 20 Buck Spin was scrawled in blood. The initial fruit of that union was delivered late in 2023 with the Desecration And Enchantment promo tape. And now all roads have led to Maul’s second album, In The Jaws Of Bereavement.

While the rotten death metal heart at the core of the band is without question, the band have no shame in their game when it comes to embracing a penchant for the heavier side of hardcore with mosh-ready riffs and crowd-killing breaks. In The Jaws Of Bereavement manages to so skillfully fuse the eerie apparitions and melodic lead work of death metal’s greats with the punishing rhythms of hardcore’s violent power it feels completely organic. It’s all tied together by the unhinged vocal prowess of the human wrecking ball Garrett Alvarado.

At its putrescent core Maul is a live band, and the songs on In The Jaws Of Bereavement are adeptly tailored to the environs of a dank club sweltering from the energy created through this music and a crowd living for nothing but the moment and the swell of bodies on bodies. The production here is clear and in one’s face, and allows the band to expand their unique blend of old and new to become Midwest death incarnate.
