AMID, the third album of Berlin based AZKETEM whilst continuing their style known from previous releases, first and foremost, represents a sonically new chapter. Besides keeping with the tradition of christening his albums with a single word starting with the letter a, AMID is also proof that AZKETEM’s mastermind and sole member Azken is still driven to craft melancholic and densely atmospheric Metal.

Yet, while the bleak atmosphere the latest offering’s six tracks wallow in remains pretty much the same, the means by which these are being evoked rather strongly differ from previous efforts. Most strikingly, there’s various elements to be found on the album that are reminiscent of bands like TYPE O NEGATIVE, KATATONIA or even FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM.

Numbered, extra limited edition one-off exclusive collector’s edition: the CD digipak here comes housed in a transparent plexiglass box, accompanied by a miniature CD-replica / wireless NFC containing a lot of extra content including: early pre-production material with different mixing and recording takes, extras visual material and an in-depth breakdown of the album’s concept.

Each box also includes a unique series of Polaroids featuring explicit portraits of Telly Lale.

No two are alike, making every copy a singular artifact.

Following their acclaimed self-titled debut EP from 2024, Italian trio Nel Buio is ready to release their debut studio album, once again self-titled. With their style defined as “pure Italian blackwave” — a fusion of black metal and darkwave — Nel Buio narrate a tragedy in two acts, where the music evolves alongside the lyrics, guiding the listener as if through a soundtrack.

„Tempelschlaf" is THE RUINS OF BEVERAST's seventh full-length output and sees the band carrying on their sonic morbidity, noises and melodies of a human habitat in its sunset era, while maintaining and refining the widescreen low end that has been sustaining their sound almost from the beginning.

On the instrumental side, „Tempelschlaf" is stripped of quite some abdominal fat, forging the songs with a reduction in length and layers, cautiously leaning towards the stage part of things. Still, TROB's main discipline, the cineastic incarnation of audial nightmares, is omnipresent on the album. While synths and samples have always been playing a bizarrely adamant role in TROB's sound, they reach yet another level of psychedelia and insanity on „Tempelschlaf".

"Taetra Philosophia" is the NEW studio album by Abysmal Grief after a few side-releases (live albums and a compilation of rarities and oddities).

Two years since the release of Saturnian Bloodstorm, Lamp of Murmuur has once again raised the chalice of victory for the masses with a new beckoning of devotion and elegance, titled “The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy”. Gradually ascended these past years as one of the furthermost esteemed and sought luminaries within the new wave of black metal, Lamp of Murmuur is still a force to be reckoned with.

Where “Saturnian Bloodstorm” raged with untameable fire and “Submission and Slavery” plunged into catharsis and purgatory, this new opus stands as the synergy of both sides of a bloodstained coin.
Triumph and grief, transcendence and torment. Beneath the soundscapes of blackened vigour and madness lies a narrative that reaches beyond dreams, exploring instead the unyielding pursuit of absolute spiritual liberation through sacrifice, manifesting the will of the Seven Spears with a delicate, yet more menacing gesture than in previous efforts, birthing the project’s most adventurous and daring offering yet.

An EP of primal gothic elegance, Blood Consumer is atmospheric of a kind cloaked in velveteen mists and swirling chilled fog, with a spiked gauntlet of riffs that will catch the ear of fans of their primary bands. ♱VELVET CROSS♱ was conceived by Splatterpvnk as a solo project in the Winter of 2022, but over time expanded to involve Saidan sticksman and Vampirska mastermind Hundosai (actually, I am not sure that many people know Hundosai is Vampirska , so here you go!) – PLUS, two more dread entities of arcane fortune to create a full band capable of realising the vision in flesh. And what vision.

COINCIDING WITH THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF GODKILLER’S FINAL FULL-LENGTH ALBUM OF DARK METAL WITH INDUSTRIAL & ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS.

Formed in 1993 & hailing from Monaco, Godkiller was the vision of multi-instrumentalist & sole founding member, Duke Satanaël, who between 1996 & 2000 released an EP & 2 studio albums under the Godkiller name, commencing with the black metal cult classic debut 'The Rebirth Of The Middle Ages'.

Though initially more a death metal inspired act in the formative years, Godkiller quickly developed into a project fully engulfed in the spirit of 1990s black metal, bringing to mind acts like Emperor & Satyricon for the implementation of such strong atmospherics, though on later releases Godkiller incorporated more industrial & electronic elements into the compositions as part of its creative evolution.

‘Deliverance’ was Godkiller’s second studio album & final release before the project was laid to rest & ventured into a more electronic & industrially metallic direction for what could be considered a more contemporary & expressive take on Godkiller’s established brand of darkness.

Coinciding with the album’s 25th anniversary, this edition of ‘Deliverance’ is presented on CD format for the first time since its original release, including an eight page booklet with full lyrics.
