The quest to bring all Nest works to life in a new mix and for the first time on vinyl is something we take very seriously here at Avantgarde Music. A few months after re-releasing the Finnish band’s first two EPs combined, Fabled Lore / Hidden Stream, it’s time to announce the release of Nest’s classic debut, Woodsmoke, which will be released on CD and LP on January 17th, 2025.

Here follow a few words from Aslak Tolonen, the band’s mastermind. 

"Woodsmoke is the first professionally released Nest full length album. It builds on all the elements that came before and uses them to weave a
fully formed aural storybook. It combines fast driving songs with slower introspective atmospheres. It is highly melodious, and adds a wide
variety of synthetic soundscapes. The core, as always, is the Finnish national instrument - the kantele (a kind of lap harp) - and it is
joined by an even wider range of synthetic instruments, varied percussion, and spoken word vocals meant to evoke the mystical and the
profound. Upgraded audio equipment, with new recording and mixing capabilities, elevates the quality of the material even further. The
result is an inquiring mix of acoustic and ambient, melody and atmosphere, in an entrancing package. It explores the themes of nature,
the grandioseness and the brutality found in the untamed wilds. It conjures up images of the healing waters, the tumultuous summer storms,
and the sparkling winter nights - to both excite and to soothe."

With the new second album ‘Dreaming The Strife For Love’, Italy’s Bedsore have jumped headfirst into the progressive warmth and obscure atmospheres of the 1970s. Inspired by the mysterious renaissance-era book ‘Hypnerotomachia Poliphili’, the album musically weaves the concepts of love as a battlefield, where desire and devotion are tested through trials and spiritual awakenings, with visions of pagan temples, mystical gardens, and arcane symbols. An aspirational and operatic aura envelops ‘Dreaming The Strife For Love’, from the longer compositions and spacious production to the extravagant and diverse instrumentation that includes 12 string guitar, copious use of synthesizers, mellotron and organs, fretless bass, percussion and horns; the dynamic range of the album embracing the most crucial elements of prog rock’s lofty imagination.

In 2015, NIGRUM was born from fire, from snake-infested tunnels and ravenous worship of death - there, where ancient stones are inspirited by bone-breaking and incessant ecstatic dances. From the mists of the central Mexican highlands and the pyramid temples of Quetzalcoatl that lie there came a turbid and sinuous path that took shape in the form of black metal.

After the first years of this journey, marked by hard strife constant changes, the cutting obsidian breeze of the Serpent brought NIGRUM to Scandinavian shores. After laying the past to rest, NIGRUM established themselves in the south of Sweden. They began with the recording of a three-track demo named Cremer Igne in 2020, which was released later that year. As that year was turning to an end, the band had its first live appearances in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany in its shifted shape after years of silence. The spiritual and creative processes that guided NIGRUM culminated in, and were crowned by, the recording of their debut album. Titled Elevenfold Tail, this momentous birth truly announced the band's arrival.

VATICINAL RITES are finally back with their debut full length "Cascading Memories Of Immortality", an album that will take you on a death metal odyssey, a journey destined to captivate fans of true old school death metal!

Formed in 2020, London-based Vaticinal Rites offer a visceral manifestation of death metal, drawing inspiration from the pioneering Floridian and European scenes of the early '90s. Their music stands as a testament to their passion for metal, interweaving thrash-induced riffs, death metal grooves, and classic heavy metal inspired melody, creating an unparalleled listening experience.
Following the success of their self-titled debut EP in 2021, the band have returned with their inaugural full-length opus entitled "Cascading Memories Of Immortality" set to be released in Spring 2024.
