DANHEIM is the work of Copenhagen-based musician and producer Reidar Schæfer Olsen, a leading voice in Nordic folk and Viking-inspired music. With over 1 billion streams and music featured in the Vikings TV series, DANHEIM has become a cornerstone of the genre.
‘Heimferd’ is a journey guided by instinct and atmosphere rather than a fixed mythological storyline. The album drifts between pounding percussive force and hushed minimalism, creating a soundscape that feels ancient yet alive. Each track evokes a return to something older and deeper: a cultural current running beneath memory, a call that is both familiar and distant. From the storm-driven rhythms of “Stormdans” to the haunting expanse of “Yggdrasil II”, DANHEIM balances intensity with restraint, weaving a sonic ritual that resonates with timeless Nordic heritage.
Entirely composed, performed, and produced by Olsen, ‘Heimferd’ stands is both an immersive listening experience and a personal letter to his ancestral heritage.

For fans of HEILUNG, WARDRUNA, GARMARNA, MYRKUR.

Comes in a 4-panel digipack with a 16-page booklet and a slipcase. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

DMP present a special 2025 CD reissue of BLUT AUS NORD's seminal 2003 avant-Black Metal masterpiece "The Work Which Transforms God", complete with restored original artwork, a new Rob Borbás illustration, artist testimonials, and an extended interview with Vindsval.

This trailblazing and indispensable classic finds BLUT AUS NORD expanding the possibilities of Black Metal: preserving the essence and feeling but urbanising the form, in a menacingly enigmatic and coldly inimitable statement of intent.

Since the unholy reunion between the two MYSTIC CIRCLE founders A. Blackwar and Beelzebub in 2021, the Germanic black metal gods of war are stronger than ever. What began anew in 2022 with the self-titled “Mystic Circle” album and was rewarded with a sensational #78 place in the German album charts, was continued the following year in “Erzdämon” and now completed in “Hexenbrand 1486”. “More serious, more respectful and more authentic” is the definition of this new MYSTIC CIRCLE epic ‘Hexenbrand 1486’ - a statement that also applies to the band's attitude. The band's tenth studio album is largely about the “Malleus Maleficarum”, the witches' hammer, which was written in Speyer in 1486. A pitch-black mix of death, black and traditional heavy metal with a horror soundtrack flair.

Formed in 2003 in the southern province of Limburg, Netherlands, CARACH ANGREN have built an unshakable reputation for fusing black metal’s ferocity with the grandeur of symphonic arrangements and the drama of storytelling. Their work draws heavily from historical legends, ghost tales, and the macabre, creating immersive worlds within each release.
On ‘The Cult of Kariba’, the band return to the mythos that first defined their identity in 2008’s ‘Lammendam’, expanding it into darker, more elaborate territory. The new EP unfolds as a five-part horror tale rooted in the folklore of Schinveld’s White Lady, now entwined with the sinister figure of Kariba: a poisoner and alleged witch. Through haunting orchestration, blackened aggression, and cinematic scope, the listener witnesses an underground cult’s rituals, a brutal sacrifice, the resurrection of Kariba, and the catastrophic vengeance that follows. Each track builds on the previous, from the ominous opening “A Malevolent Force Stirs” to the apocalyptic closer “Venomous 1666”, where the witch claims the living for her grave.
Expertly produced and conceptually unified, ‘The Cult of Kariba’ is both a return to roots and a bold expansion of CARACH ANGREN’s narrative universe.

For fans of DIMMU BORGIR, KING DIAMOND, CRADLE OF FILTH.

Ukrainian blackened death/doom metal formation 1914 return with unrelenting force on their fourth studio album, Viribus Unitis, Latin for "With United Forces." Far more than a historical reference to the personal motto of Franz Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the title reflects the band’s resilience through war, loss, and upheaval – a powerful symbol of survival and solidarity. Releasing on November 14, 2025 via Napalm Records, Viribus Unitis builds on the band’s acclaimed conceptual approach, pushing even deeper into emotional and musical intensity.

Continuing their chronicle of World War I, 1914 shift their focus slightly, from the raw portrayal of death and destruction to themes of camaraderie, endurance, and the emotional landscapes of those who endured the horrors. While previous releases like The Blind Leading the Blind (2018) and Where Fear and Weapons Meet (2021) centered on the futility and finality of war, Viribus Unitis explores the human bonds forged under fire and the strength of those who returned: broken, changed, yet still alive.

Musically, 1914 remain true to their identity – brutal mixture of blackened death metal, slow-burning doom, and ambient war soundscapes. This time, however, their sound gains a broader dynamic range, with soaring melodic leads, orchestral textures, and haunting clean vocals that provide dramatic contrast to the crushing heaviness. One of the album’s highlights is a collaboration with Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride and High Parasite on “1918 Pt. 3: ADE (A Duty to Escape),” whose mournful voice adds a solemn, almost liturgical quality to this elegy of grief and brotherhood on the front lines.

Viribus Unitis deepens 1914’s commitment to historical authenticity, both lyrically and conceptually. Told through real events and personal accounts of a Ukrainian soldier in the K.u.K. army, the album traces a timeline from 1914 to 1919, painting a grim journey through the war’s rise, climax, and hollow aftermath.

From the brooding opener “War In” to the bleak closer “War Out (The End?)”, each track captures a moment in time: the brutal “1914 (The Siege of Przemysl)”, the frostbitten “1915 (Zwinin Ridge)”, the crushing Alpine combat of “1916 (Südtirol Offensive)”, and the madness of “1918 Pt. 2: POW (Prisoner of War)” featuring Christopher Scott of Precious Death.

The album ends with “1919 (The Home Where I Died),” featuring Rome’s Jerome Reuter, a haunting portrait of a soldier who survived the war, but not its shadow. This emotional song deals with the soldier's will to live and his family values, seeing him escape from captivity to finally return home to embrace his wife and daughter. 1914 fuse blackened death metal, doom, and atmospheric textures with dramatic flourishes and guest vocals, creating their most dynamic and emotionally resonant record to date.

180g Vinyl, 20-page booklet, poster, and a designed download card.
Danish black metal force Afsky return with full-length number four simply entitled "Fællesskab", once again delving deep into the bleak, atmospheric realms that have defined their signature sound. Fællesskab reveals their most critical and emotionally charged work to date, a deeply personal voyage into the heart of Nordic black metal, where raw emotion and melodic depth keep reveling in sorrow and longing beauty.

Translating to “Community”, Fællesskab's six tracks weave a strong musical oeuvre within the Afsky canon; their walls of haunting melancholia, interwoven with vital intensity, have never been more powerful. Yet, this new work also sees the band at its sharpest in social criticism, as Ole Luk of Afsky notes:

Fællesskab - Overture to the Downfall.
Here, community is praised like herd animals fleeing responsibility. A parade of moral superiority, where truth is trampled in the name of consensus. Where unity means silence, and doubt is a crime. Six songs of shame disguised as care, of freedom suffocated, and of the solitary few who still dare to question. A chorus of hollow words, where silence screams the loudest. Welcome to the celebration – the curtain hasn’t just risen, it’s been torn away!

Three years after their crushing debut Defiled In Oblivion, Castrator return with Coronation Of The Grotesque, an album that not only exceeds all expectations but leaves them shattered in its wake, firmly cementing the band among the North American death metal elite. 

The long-awaited first and definitive biography of the leader of Dissection.

Jon A. Nödtveidt left behind two indisputable legacies; the first, musical. With unparalleled compositional talent, he shaped at will a hybrid between the two dominant styles of the early ’90s—Death and Black Metal. He gave this unique musical style a name, and he consecrated it to Satanism, achieving the complete fusion of music and intention. A bastion of authenticity.
The second legacy, the one beyond music, concerns his spirituality…
