NORDGEIST were conceived in the Siberian city of Bratsk in the Irkutsk Oblast at the junction of the rivers Oka and the mighty Angara. This territory once belonged to the nomadic Buryat people, who are related to the Mongolians and renowned for their close relationship to nature. Bratsk lies in the subarctic climate zone, which results in dark, long cold winters.

It is therefore quite easy to see, where T, the mysterious mastermind and musician behind NORDGEIST took inspiration from. Her approach to black metal is obviously shaped by the Nordic scene, with which T's music shares a penchant for majestic melodies and cineastic soundscapes, but also delivers an extra dose of viscious fury.

Founded in 2017, NORDGEIST caused an immediate stir in the black underground with the split-release "Nordwinter", which they shared with VINTERKULT.

Now NORDGEIST unleash their ice-crowned album debut "Frostwinter", which will hit the world like a black blizzard from Siberia.

Mӕre - a malicious folkloristic entity creeping on sleeping people's chest during the night and causing breathlessness and anxiety. It's exactly this state of diffuse terror and paralysis that has been enshrined in HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY's music ever since their debut album. And now, more tales from feverish dreams are being released on January 29th in the form of the band's 5th longplayer "Mӕre", out via AOP Records.

As pioneers of the post movement, mixing haunting black metal with post rock moments, the Austrians have, ever since their conception in 2011, drawn fans and critics deeper and deeper into their maelstrom of melancholy, self hate and anger, and even reached #29 of the German charts with their previous release "Arson". And once again, several friends of the band entered the intoxicated world of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY to guest on "Mӕre": While Alcest's front man Neige brings a haunting flair to 'Sing For The Damage We’ve Done', before the anonymous voice of Gaerea joins in on 'Silver Needle // Golden Dawn'. As session drummer, the band one again commited none less than Kerim „Krimh“ Lechner (Septicflesh, live Behemoth) in the studio and the atmospheric artwork was designed by Art of Maquenda.

The sword that was once will be forged again and the prophecy of a coming king will be fulfilled and so shall the rightful king be known."

After four years of incubation, Swedish death metallers Ablaze My Sorrow have marked February 12th , as the date for their triumphant return. The new full length, entitled Among Ashes and Monoliths, will introduce new vocalist Jonas Udd, whose aggressive rasp fits the passionate band to perfection. The other four members return intact from prior releases. Still fresh sounding in 2020, the band presents us with an opus of impassioned self-reflection, once again tackling themes of depression and self-worth. Across twelve tracks, the band speak catharsis from experience, and the truth of their words are evident. An underrated gem, the Falkenberg quintet once again let their emotional style of Melodic Death Metal do the talking for them.
