DOUBLE-DISC 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF DARKTHRONE'S CLASSIC FIFTH ALBUM OF CELTIC FROSTFUELLED BLACK METAL, INCLUDING NEWLY RESTORED AUDIO MASTER, PLUS ADDITIONAL DISC WITH COMMENTARY FROM FENRIZ.

'Panzerfaust', Darkthrone's fifth album was originally released in 1995 on the Norwegian label, Moonfog (the label previously owned by Satyr of Satyricon). The album was recorded similarly to their previous release, 'Transilvanian Hunger', in that it was written & recorded solely by Fenriz at his home 'Necrohell' studio, with Nocturno Culto later adding vocals.

'Panzerfaust' was largely inspired by the works of Celtic Frost, a long-time favourite of the Darkthrone members & also included songs in the Bathory style, a follow-on to the faster tempo of the tracks featured on 'Transilvanian Hunger'. 'Panzerfaust' is also notable for including some of the most raw & primal vocals in black metal - completely well suited to the music on display & the misanthropic nature of the band at the time. With its feast of Frost-fuelled riffing, 'Panzerfaust' is rightly hailed one of THE classic Darkthrone black metal albums, whilst also featuring lyrics written by Varg Vikernes.

This edition of ‘Panzerfaust’ is presented on double-disc CD format & includes a newly restored audio master for the album’s 30th anniversary, plus the 2010 commentary disc from Fenriz with his recollections on the tracks & the time period.

Limited to 100 copies. Limited to 100 x, ecomix colored vinyl.

The second part of the Djevel trilogy, the 8th album.
With a new vitality, Djevel returned with last years acclaimed "Tanker som rir natten", a mesmerizing and epic piece of work, pushing the boundaries for the band and its new line-up. "Naa Skrider Natten Sort" is the natural continuation,
thematically its the second part of the trilogy about the night and all what it represents, but also a work with more contrast and variation.

 A bunch of young bucks dead set on destruction, Oslo's HORRIFIER formed in 2022 and quickly set to work on their first sonic assaults. Their debut demo, Howls From the Grave, came as the year drew to a close, and just as quickly garnered the band attention in the underground. During the spring of this year, HORRIFIER had that demo compiled onto Cave of Death - Vol.1, a five-way split with Vile Apparition, Constant Torment, Goredawn, and Congealed Putrescence. Indeed, a new breed was rising from Norway, and they were bringing back undead sounds...

Whereas its predecessor, Vanskapning (Duplicate Records 2020), was arranged and recorded as one lengthy track, LORE does the exact opposite, consisting of 12 shorter instalments. Still constructed to be listened to as a whole, the pieces segue naturally into one another, creating a whole greater than the sum of it parts. Stylistically, the album lands somewhere between the monolithic shadow of Vanskapning, and the earlier more conventionally structured works. However, the way the parts are arranged bring to mind a movie soundtrack, which makes sense as the early embryo of the album was vastly inspired by Charles Bernstein's Relentless Attack which featured in the 1982 supernatural horror film The Entity. With the lyrics also drawing inspiration from horrific tales, and unique, eerie artwork, LORE becomes so much more than just another metal record, and something of an artefact of horror itself.

The final part of the «Night»-trilogy. From the words of the band: Natt til ende is the last and final conclusion in the trilogy about the "night". This last chapter is my manifest of the final ending of christianity and death of "Jesus", in both physical and mental shape. Naturally this also lifts the idea and concept of forces christianity calls evil. The same forces I would call natural and human. They may be described as in a dream or in a more harsh speech.

Debut album from this super band from Stavanger (Norway)
 

Spewed forth by a collective of serpents from the scorching south and sulphurous north of the Old World, Desert Psalms is an act of defiance – an offering to the lawless, the unruly, and the bright star rising in the eastern dawn.

A descent beyond the pale. Across its seven abominations, Desert Psalms drags the listener into howling darkness, where transgression and purification are one.

This is black metal in its most primal and adversarial form: venomous, unrepentant, seared in the flames of desolation. Both scourge and scripture, Desert Psalms is a baptism in bile and blood, stripping away all pretense until nothing remains but raw nerve and burning truth.

Envisioned by A.Ara of Angrenost, Desert Psalms is now manifested with the contribution of Misþyrming members Dagur Gíslason and Magnús Skúlason, Erdsaf of Angrenost, and Ólöf Rún Benediktsdóttir of Svartþoka.
