This particular collaboration between Vidar Våer and Nidhogg (John Roger Holte) has been crucial for the Norwegian Black Metal scene. 
They have composed a vast variety of material, including some Ambient gems. 
The mini-LP Norse, originally released in 1994 as 7'' by Nocturnal Art, consists of four Black Metal tracks, among the most significant in the genre. 
After being long sold out, Norse is finally being officially reissued as a deluxe edition, after more than 30 years!
Officially licensed by Nidhogg and Ildjarn (P & C)

180gr LP, 3.5mm spine printed on 350gsm cardstock jacket with BLACK FLOOD, UV SPOT and a professionally printed thick INSERT with UV SPOT.
It does include a special ETCHING on B side.

For its 30th year anniversary here comes the first proper LP reissue of Svartfråd, the legendary mini-album composed by Ildjarn and Nidhogg. Originally released by Norse League Productions on MCD, Svartfråd is the essence of the Primitive Norwegian Black Metal which marked an era: as of today, this material is still revered by both old and new generations. Intended to be entitled Gravbergets Svarte Dyp, "The Black Deep of Grave Mountain", this EP from 1996 sees the light for the first time in its original form with a totally restored layout, never seen pictures found in Nidhogg personal archives and with lyrics transcribed from Ildjarn handwritten originals. Everything is perfectly crafted with a special etching on B side and remastered audio.

The UK’s Black Metal forerunners, WINTERFYLLETH make a stand with The Unyielding Season, coming March 27, 2026 via Napalm Records. Their ninth album is a social commentary wrapped in meticulously crafted poetry and prose. Where the preceding album, The Imperious Horizon (2024), described an ominous, malevolent force, lurking in the distance, The Unyielding Season now explores said threat becoming a reality. The raging wildfire to its predecessor’s calculating, icy cold, WINTERFYLLETH’s first offering for their new record label is a reflection and a rebellion against the turmoils tearing individuals apart. It is a cry against the unsustainable weight of fear and pressure being pushed into the world, by the agents of a unresting, and unyielding force for evil.

Uncompromising Dutch Black Metal – DOODSWENS’ sophomore album out in April via Svart Records

Doodswens is a Dutch Black Metal band formed in 2017 by I. Live she performs the drums and vocals, joined by R. & P. on bass and guitar. Doodswens translates to Deathwish, but the meaning and heavy load to the word in Dutch translates better to Driven by Death. The self-titled sophomore album by Doodswens is out on April 17^th 2026.

After establishing themselves in the Dutch scene, Doodswens gained an international following doing tours with Marduk & Gorgoroth. Doodswens’ performances are ceremonial and ritualistic, which have been reported to be as uplifting as they are devastating, depending on the demons you bring them to offer. Whatever you carry with you will be exposed. They like to confront instead of bringing comfort.

Morning Star finds Këkht Aräkh arriving at a truer, more refined version of himself. Recorded between Berlin and Stockholm, the album emerges from a period of intense personal and artistic growth, blending aggressive black metal passages with immersive, textured soundscapes that feel both intimate and vast. 

35 years after their inception Nittedal-based TULUS are still going strong and return with a new album. Only three years after its predecessor, the notorious three-piece is back with their eight full-length entitled Morbid Desires which Darkness Shall Rise are very proud to be releasing.

Instead of straying from their path, Morbid Desires comprises nine tracks that continue the trademark TULUS sound. An abundance of hellishly catchy riffs moulded into concise mid-tempo songs performed by proficient musicians accompanied by Blodstrup’s grim vocals are still the main characteristics of TULUS. Having said that, Morbid Desires is by no means a one-dimensional album. Fast parts, beautifully chanted vocals, flamenco and acoustic guitars etc. woven into some of the songs provide the album with plenty of variety. “Sabbat”, the album’s closer and by far the longest track surely sticks out the most. Undeniably conceived as a tribute to BLACK SABBATH the song is nothing short of amazing and impressively proves the outstanding musicianship of TULUS’ members.

Morbid Desires was recorded, mixed and mastered by Andy La Rocque at Sonic Train Studios, Sweden. September 2025.

"The Scottish threat of blackened speed metal is back!
Featuring 8 new tracks over 44 minutes, the highly anticipated fourth album, Coronach, reaches new heights of metallic intensity.
Bolder, more daring, and more adventurous than ever, Hellripper is crafted for speed and razor-sharp riffs."

The Crawl” è il nuovo album dei maestri del death metal di Detroit, in uscita il 6 marzo 2026 via Relapse Records. Il quinto full-length della band unisce la pesantezza brutale del loro death metal con dinamiche più ampie e influenze che spaziano oltre il death-doom, mostrando un sound potente e intenso. Registrato in una settimana glaciale allo GodCity Studio con Kurt Ballou alla produzione, il disco esplora temi di vita, scelte e conseguenze attraverso sette tracce devastanti come Poison Icon e Godless Cynic

EXHUMED – “Red Asphalt” è il nuovo album dei maestri del gore metal, in uscita il 20 febbraio 2026 via Relapse Records. Un concentrato di deathgrind frenetico e brutale che travolge con riff scatenati e groove aggressivi, ispirato ai lati più oscuri e violenti della vita sulla strada. Dal singolo “Unsafe At Any Speed” a “Shovelhead”, ogni traccia è un colpo d’adrenalina pura per gli amanti del metal estremo.

VIA DOLORIS is the singular vision of Gildas Le Pape, shaped by solitude, discipline, and an uncompromising sense of craft. Rooted in Nordic black metal tradition yet guided by melody and introspection, the project traces a deeply personal inner journey. “Guerre et Paix” is an album of tension and balance, where shadow and light coexist in measured dialogue. Across seven expansive compositions, VIA DOLORIS explores the fragile architecture of the human psyche, moving through despair, rupture, and fleeting moments of clarity. The music favours restraint over excess, allowing melody to lead with quiet authority. Guitars unfold in long, expressive arcs, while rhythms remain deliberate and grounded, anchored by the nuanced drumming of Frost (Satyricon, 1349). Shifting between French, English, and Norwegian, language carries its own emotional gravity. Folk and pagan echoes surface subtly, lending the album a timeless, almost ritualistic atmosphere. For fans of BATHORY, SATYRICON, KAMPFAR. Artwork by Linnea Syversen
