Bloedmaan, returns with its third studio album “Circle of the Moon”, barely 1 year after the second full length album «Vampyric War in Blood» and 3 years since the debut album “Castle Inside the Eclipse. Like its predecessors the ingredient to Bloedmaan’s music varies very little from the main course, so those who are familiar with the previous records already know what to expect.

Rönarg’s signature guitar sound filled with the illustrious melodies never wavers to fail to draw the complete attention of the audience, Once again, one can drift away into the world of vampirism and linger on a journey leaded by the splendid guitar work accompanied by blasting drums and sharp bass elements which are entangled in a raw, yet clear production.

Just like on the previous record, there’s also room for a little bit of experimental addition, such as the ghost like ballad which’s magic really comes to life due to the haunting clean vocals. Furthermore Rönarg delivers again a disgusting form of shrieking vocals throughout the entire album that praises the sound of the dead.

Each song stands as a milestone on this record and yes, Bloedmaan has done it again! Another masterpiece of a record has been added to its fast growing discography! Every old school black metal fan, yet, fans of melodic black metal or even symphonic black metal (old emperor fans) will most likely enjoy this record from start til finish. Vampyric Melodic Black Metal at its finest!

Full coloured cover with white inner jacket + Insert. Limited to 100 copies on 12" Vinyl.

Draugr, a frequently new band hailing from the Carinthia area in Austria delivers forth their second full length album “Ahnenfeuer - Ginnungagap Chaos Pt. I”.

On this record Draugr shows a more mature side as their musicianship has drastically evolved compared to their debut album “Unter Yggdrasils Schatten”, which was released 2 years ago. The production of the album is clear, yet heavy and the overall sound is super professional which is exactly what this type of music needs.

The music itself can be compared to second wave black metal, old school riffing, furious blasting, pumping basslines and harsh shrieking vocals although the album. The guitars deliver some nice melodic parts, to beautiful tremolo picking and back to super-fast classic chord riffing, where the drums come in as a natural support to the guitars if not being the leading instrument that takes this album to a higher level with all the extra elements that are hearable in the background. The bass guitars riffs its way through the album with fury and absolute aggressiveness which gives the album that heavy low sound to bang your heads too. And the vocals as said above are harsh, shrieking and above all well mixed into the music which makes the album very pleasant to listen too.

Draugr definitely managed to deliver a fantastic beast of a second album that all fans of Classic Black Metal to Pagan Black Metal will be able to enjoy from start til end. Pure Black Metal Madness is what you can expect on this record! Hail Loki.

After over a decade of silence, one of the best-kept secrets in the Italian underground scene is rising from the ashes. JANVS, the Roman god of beginnings, passages and endings, is a black metal entity formed in Genoa over two decades ago, which may have fallen through the tides of time for many, but never really forgotten.

In the mid ‘00s JANVS released two of the most personal and interesting black metal records ever to come out of Italy, Fulgures (2007) and Vega (2008), mixing excellent songwriting to a profound latin cultural heritage. A few years later the band re-recorded and officially released their early songs in Nigredo (2014) before disappearing into the waves of the Mediterranean sea. We were incredibly excited when composer and multi-instrumentalist Matteo “Vinctor” Barelli told us the band was working on new music once again. JANVS lineup is once again completed by Massimo "m:A Fog" Altomare on drums and Claudio "Malphas" Fogliato on bass, and the trio is ready to release the new EP Fatum Est.

In their own word, in Fatum Est, each song draws on a myth, a figure, or an episode from the Hellenic tradition, reshaping and deconstructing its narrative into an existential vision that is both intimate and universal.

This work is dedicated to those who defy the gaze of the gods, burning without oxygen in infinitesimal and eternal moments of beauty and death, drowned in the void of a cosmos eternally identical to itself, devoid of any purpose. Moving forward from the softer atmospheres of Vega, expect intensity and desperate cosmic ferocity.

Avantgarde Music is proud to announce their collaboration with Saidan, an Eastern horror-themed band from Nashville, TN.

Born in 2020, Saidan released three studio albums so far, mixing the weird, over-the-top aesthetic of visual kei with fast, melodic riffing in the vein of labelmates Moonlight Sorcery.

Fangdriller: Scars Beneath Memories Wrist is the fourth studio album born from the minds of multi-instrumentalist Splatterpvnk and drummer Hundosai, a new chapter in the narrative concept that links together all Saidan releases. In the band’s own words, Fangdriller follows the story of a student named Junko, depressed and miles away from the people she loves. In the depths of her isolation, she finds comfort in a mysterious cult called Ethereal Blood. But unbeknownst to Junko, her anguished seclusion has made her the perfect victim.

Heretics of the Black Metal genre and the Kings of USBM, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM have returned with sharpened teeth. Their new album “Estuary” carries the hallmark of their unyielding dedication to the physical craft and analog production techniques, executed with zero cut corners. After more than twenty years, the pioneers of Cascadian Black Metal have neither withered, rested, nor resorted to recycling past glories. They continue to rise with unparalleled strength, and “Estuary” is their most ferocious and genre-bending record to date.
WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM embody nature as active participants of the current, bypassing the confines of a musical landscape which trends towards homogenization. Massive percussion and seething gothic guitars wipe the listener’s psyche clear of all stagnation, transforming it into a conduit for evolution and renewal. Rich with alchemical and archetypal imagery, the record operates like eagles and wolves descending upon desolation and entropy, activating the dormant domain with magic and the lethal essence of virility.
The bulk of the album was produced and recorded at the band’s own Owl Lodge studio in Olympia, Washington, with drums tracked by Nicholas Wilbur at The Unknown (a converted former church in Anacortes, Washington).

“The Storm” offers a first glimpse of Armagedda’s forthcoming fifth album, STORM OF EVIL: two new recordings pressed into seven-inch form, pairing the title track with the exclusive “The Sermon Never Heard”. 

Following “Svindeldjup ättestup” (2020), Armagedda once again turns toward older bones. These songs draw a line back through the torn austerity of the band’s origins, the heavier, death-inflected pulse that emerged around “Only True Believers”, and the sickly spiritual oppression later perfected on “Ond spiritism”. Yet the result is not retrospective. It is a further descent, carried by the same adversarial will under a harsher and more immediate guise.

Conjured at Necromorbus Studio in October 2025 alongside Tore Stjerna, “Storm of Evil” stands as a premonition of what is to come: grave-bound, accusatory black metal with the stench of old death in its breath. No mourners. No prayers. Only the sermon never heard.

“Music for me, is rarely complete,” says GODFLESH mastermind Justin Broadrick, “but it has to reach a point where enough is enough. Creatively, there has to be self-discipline. One has to end it.”

Broadrick is primarily referring to the nebulous process of writing and arranging songs into their various potential shapes, but he could just as easily be describing GODFLESH’s imminent conclusion. Just three years after the hypnotic crunch of Purge, 25 years after an uncertain hiatus that nearly scuttled the band, and 38 years since GODFLESH’s inception, Broadrick and bassist-at-arms Ben Green set out to mercilessly crush this cold world with their tenth and penultimate album, this year’s Decay.

“Decay was born from the same sessions as Purge,” Broadrick declares of the new record’s six tracks. “It was one huge pool of songs. I picked what I felt was appropriate for what I wanted to achieve with Purge, with the intention of releasing the songs that didn't fit as a new album within a year of Purge being released. Unfortunately, two years passed whilst considering external labels, so that I didn't have to self-release GODFLESH anymore, but it took an awful lot of time to establish a comfortable home for me. The recordings were done, but as usual for me, I did change a lot of stuff once I came back to it.”

Now, GODFLESH is ready to unleash an even bolder, bleaker series of sounds in Decay. These songs arrive shortly after Broadrick released a public statement about major abdominal surgery he underwent earlier this year. “Fortunately, all of the recordings for Decay were completed long before the surgery, vocals included… although the back end of a couple of songs were recorded with the hernia itself, and that was a struggle. I was already aware that the GODFLESH shout, so to speak, was exacerbating the hernia greatly, as was every GODFLESH performance in the lead-up to the surgery once the hernia appeared, and the hernia was mostly caused by year upon year of shouting in GODFLESH. The album was mixed post-surgery, and while I was still in some pain and considerable discomfort, but fortunately GODFLESH is generally me expressing my pain, albeit [usually] mental, philosophical and existential, whereas this was physical pain.”

While the middle of the record pulses with five-minute hate-grooves, Broadrick credits the slime-wracked opener “Master and Slave” and crawling closer “Consume Me” with Decay’s true conceptual thrust. “The bookends of Decay are the most important pieces to me. They say it all, so to speak; the album could have been just those two songs alone – the duration of them is half of the total album!”

As GODFLESH's active tenure comes to a close, Broadrick expresses gratitude that it was ever his vessel to use as he willed. “It expresses my pain, and I’ve put my body and soul into this expression for the majority of my existence. I feel quite lucky, because Godflesh is now physically impossible for me, rendering it useless. I now wish to move out of its constraints, move on creatively with heavy/ugly music to new ground.”

Shadow Records (distributed and marketed by Regain Records) proudly presents the reissue of Sorhin's debut EP, Skogsgriftens rike on LP and CD formats. Originally released in 1996, Skogsgriftens rike marks the beginning of Sorhin's journey into the pantheon of Swedish black metal, laying the foundation for the cult full-length albums “I det glimrande mörkrets djup” and “Apokalypsens ängel”. Even at this early stage, the band's identity was fully formed, a cold, evocative and unmistakably Nordic vision that would become their enduring hallmark. Nearly thirty years on, Skogsgriftens rike still stands as a monument to the cold majesty of 1990s Swedish black metal, untouched by time, uncompromising in spirit, and as haunting as the northern wilderness that inspired it.
