Montreal's MISERERE LUMINIS have explored a stridently emotive and richly-layered strand of anguished Black Metal since their 2008 formation.

Extraordinary new album "Sidera" finds the band completing the journey set by 2023 predecessor, "Ordalie": weaving impassioned Black Metal, cinematic soundscapes and contemplative textures into a deeply moving set of songs which blend heartfelt sorrow with a fierce will to exist.

NIHILI LOCUS is absolutely a Doomish Black Metal cult act of the Italian scene!
"Semper" is the album that will consecrate the band for years enshrouded in their cult status shadow and now finally ready to emerge in all its dark greatness. The album will allow the band to reap the fruits of a career always characterized by a melancholic pathos embodied in a dark sonorous extremism
It presents heavy riffages paired with disheartened ones, fierce growling and sad atmospheres for a dark and anguished Doomish Black Metal enhanced by melodic elements.
With the great cover realized the great Norwegian photographer Kjetil Karlsen, "Semper" is a documentation of a sombre journey to the dark pit of the unknown.
NIHILI LOCUS, a name, a cult, the history of Italian Extreme Music.

Gatefold sleeve, double LP in opaque blue vinyls

Russian blackgaze duo Olhava is back with their sixth studio album. Memorial continues the path opened by Sacrifice. After the burning, there is stillness. Time spent among what remains. Ashes settle, memory lingers, and the question is no longer how to begin again, but what can finally be released.

Memorial moves through remembrance toward letting go and acceptance — a quiet reconciliation with what cannot be carried further. It speaks from a single, unpersonified voice: a shared human state shaped by loss, exhaustion, love, and the fragile will to endure. At its center stands a forest hut: not a physical place, but a retreat of the mind. A solitary structure in the woods, an escape from the collapsing outer world, where everything decays, familiar bonds loosen, and people drift apart and return changed. The hut becomes a memorial itself — an obelisk in the forest, a burial site for former lives, a place one returns to alone to contemplate what remains.

Eighth album by the legendary Handful Of Hate, once again a fierce demonstration of how black metal should be done. Violent, dark, unsettling!

Reissue of Fuath's debut album from 2016

blue/white marble vinyl

A new black metal project created by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Andy Marshall, better known as the mastermind behind Celtic black metal act Saor.
Unlike Saor, which finds Marshall focusing mostly on a folky and epic black-metal, here the musician delves into a darker and more melancholic side of black metal, marrying fierce and harsh riffs, unrelenting double-kick drums and raspy screams with melancholic melodies and hypnotic, gloomy ambiences. 
 

The vinyl version of Fuath's third album comes in gatefold cover, in limited editions of 199 copies on white/black marble vinyl and 199 copies on sky blue/white marble vinyl, incl. download. 

Formed in 2015, Fuath is Marshall’s outlet for a colder, more ferocious vision, melding relentless aggression with haunting, melancholic melodies. The music channels a timeless frostbitten spirit, weaving immersive soundscapes steeped in winter’s bleak beauty, ancient mysticism, and dark folklore.

Though rarely performed live, Fuath’s selective appearances have left a lasting impact, immersing audiences in its stark, otherworldly realm.

Fuath's III, arriving five years after the last album, features four expansive tracks with a running time exceeding 40 minutes. III embodies a cold, atmospheric, harsh, and hypnotic sound, driven by blistering speed and raw intensity, while retaining the haunting melodic depth that defines Fuath’s essence.

Natas are back! After the celebrated debut “På veg... til helvette” the Norwegian black metal underground is ready to burst once again with “Mara”, a classic but energetic platter of dirty black metal in the best tradition of the second wave. Sustained by daring vocals and a punk-ish attitude, “Mara” points out, again and again, how Norwegians are able to handle the genre in the best of ways.
 

With this work, SEDNA reach a new synthesis of their sonic language. The album reveals a sound that is raw and instinctive yet more self-aware, one that merges the ferocity of black metal and the weight of sludge and post-metal with a refined melodic sensibility. It is an album that feels like both an open wound and a catharsis: visceral, direct, yet contemplative and profoundly human. While atmospheric black metal remains the most accurate label, to confine SEDNA within a single genre would be limiting. Their music is made of nuances and deviations, a sonic flow that crosses darkness in search of balance between aggression and introspection. “Sila Nuna” stands as the testimony of a fully matured vision, from a band that has learned to turn chaos into form and tension into language
