From the start rather than attempting to alter or obfuscate Nahtrunar's roots in second-wave black metal's rich sound, the approach is a dead-ahead expression of pure atmosphere. Guitar leads shimmer in moments, but lean back into the tapestry of accompanying instruments instead of forcing their way to the forefront. The fusion of leads and vocals in with more consistent layers of sound guarantees that even the most unexpected moments present themselves naturally and consistently. There's also something to be said for the anonymity of Nahtrunar's membership. I've long held the belief that even artists who explicitly remove themselves from the act of performing are still making a performance in their own obscurity. The sense of detachment from self plays directly into the transcendent sounds and aims of the music and serves as a further function of this expression.

Ruthless black metal from Finland!

Amid the axis of territorial sceneries, generational junctures, the zeitgeist of concrete periods, there lies invariably scattered anomalies that transgress the semblance of passing time, space and reasoning itself, individuals and ensembles whose magnitude goes beyond the imposing rules of artistic behavior. Within the Portuguese Black Metal landscape, one of the epithets of perpetual yonder outside the boundaries of any assorted alignment is Angrenost. 
In the course of a career that goes back to the cauldron of the mid 90s, the group released an EP at the end of said decade yet retreating for a long slumber that ended in 2013 with the release of Planet Muscaria. Four years have passed and Angrenost returns with a retribution, the emergence of a renewal, the harvesting of a new era. Nox et Hiems is an opus of hermetical Black Metal darkness, a 63-minute tome of occult mysticism that consumes the listener in a sinister divination. Divided in two discs, one for each elemental direction, it exhales the tenebrous sight of ecstasy by virtue of revenant omens to an onyx of glooming darkness. A supreme act of numinous awakening, Nox et Hiems channels the trembling glory of Lucifer in nine shadowy psalms zealous to the great Unknown. Ritualistic, utterly somber, an all-consuming hex of gnostic ascendancy is aurally illustrated by straightforward yet belligerently cryptic riffs - rooted in the Black Metal milieu from the dark past - intertwined with mid-paced chord progressions of dissonant continuum. Powerfully atmospheric yet glowing of intense fervor, the distinct arrangements are sustained by a dynamic mixing in a triumphant display of aesthetic sense and aural virtue.

Candelabrum is back with a new album. Keyboard driven Black Metal from beyond. 

Clear vinyl, comes with an insert and A2 poster. Third press, identical to the first two except for the vinyl color.

Deep rooted in the infamous Portuguese Black Metal scene, Israthoum re-emerged on Dutch soil in the late 90's to pursuit their devilish quest, continuously refining their essence in a regular flow of releases during the last 17 years.
Keeping the sonority true to their 90´s origins, the band’s first manifestations are influenced by some experimental styles, where keyboards played a prominent role in creating those intense and grasping ambiances. These experiments became scarcer over time and completely disappeared in Black Poison and Shared Wounds,Israthoum’s second album and a turning point on their commitment to the ravaging and harsh resonances of black metal.
Five years after the release of their second full-length, and after having released a split 7”EP and a MCD, Israthoum are back with 48 minutes of pure malignant devastation. Following the path of their most recent work, Channeling Death & Devilpresents an evolution of the riff’s rawness that guide us in a frenzy of unexpected turns.
Opening the door to a twisted, phantomly world, each one of these 9 hymns takes us through an inner voyage between raged and rampant guitar lines, that struck you with the intensity of a lightning, and mid-paced sections of introspective melodies. A dense sound production that drags the listener to an awaken slumber state of mind, hypnotized and mystery induced.
The vocals are a mix of restrained, strangled shouts that nearly break in despair as the turmoil arises. This audial facade carries also the gleam of choirs in a profound interpretation, blazing the atmosphere with an almost conspicuous obscurity, an invocation of things untold but understandable within.
Israthoum are presenting us with their most obscure work, a vessel to all the darkness that let the disquietude unfold…
