MALTHUSIAN sign to Relapse Records and unearth their deathly opus, The Summoning Bell.
On their highly anticipated new album, MALTHUSIAN's fetid hallmarks are ever present: truly unforgiving, unrelenting Death Metal.
Swirling chords and ominous cymbal swells give way to the band's opener "Red, Waiting". What follows is a flurry of murk and madness - blast beats pummel against churns of distortion. The sonic atmosphere cultivated by MALTHUSIAN's palpable fury is suffocating; each riff carefully crafted to push and pull on the momentum behind their music. The Summoning Bell is undeniably a pitch-black take on the genre.
The Summoning Bell is a lighting of the pyre - each of the album's tracks explore themes of true nothingness, condemnations of superstition, and a profound descent into darkness and time. The end result is a record that seemingly reconciles with a dimming - internal and external, a true end to everything.
CD in deluxe 6-panel Digipak printed on unfinished, heavy card stock with 16-page booklet.
SOWULO is the visionary project of Dutch composer and multi-instrumentalist Faber Horbach, whose immersive soundscapes draw deeply from ancient Northern European spirituality and the cyclical rhythms of nature.
Using historical instruments and Anglo-Saxon lyrics, SOWULO invites listeners into a space of reflection, reverence, and ritual.
On ‘Niht’ (“Night”), SOWULO journeys into the sacred darkness - the realm of the subconscious, mourning, and inner stillness. Created in the wake of personal loss, the album embraces the night as a teacher and the moon as a guide. Songs like “Asteorfan” (“to die”) and “Sol ond Mani” (“sun and moon”) are woven from grief, mythology, and transformation, using broken instruments and primal vocals to confront ego death and the void left by lost light. “Monaþblod” (“moon blood”) channels feminine wisdom, menstruation, and lunar rhythm through Micky Huijsmans’ powerful, raw vocal compositions.
With cinematic depth and ritualistic force, ‘Niht’ becomes a spiritual act of surrender.
For fans of WARDRUNA, HEILUNG, DANHEIM, EIVØR.
First album of the trilogy on CD in deluxe Digipak with Pantone gold print with 16-page booklet.
The first pressing comes in rigid slipcase to hold the trilogy.
No matter what stylistic path they take, GREEN CARNATION have never shied away from grand, gloomy statements.
Founded in the early ‘90s by former Emperor bassist Tchort, the Norwegian act quickly amassed a cult following thanks to one of the most ambitious epics in metal history. Even before going on hiatus during the mid-2000s, the ever-evolving auteurs still flashed a flare for the dramatic by performing their acoustic verses underneath a mountain dam. However, there was one tale — or three, to be exact — that continued to elude them. Until now. With the ‘A Dark Poem’ trilogy starting now, GREEN CARNATION finally unveil their masterpiece.
The idea for an album trilogy stems from GREEN CARNATION’s earliest yesteryears, but the first part of ‘A Dark Poem’ cites various passages from across their illustrious cannon. Lead single “In Your Paradise” reaches newfound peaks of heaviness, swept out to sea by sublime riffs and somber symphonic flourishes. While navigated with the band’s familiar mastery, the view from ‘The Shores of Melancholia’ is far from heavenly. Judgement day appears around every corner, steering them from the title track’s scarlet clouds of war toward Floydian whirlpools drenched in paranoia before being shipwrecked by second wave black metal.
“A lesson learned, now bridges burn”, bearded captain Kjetil Nordhus cries out with impassioned cleans, as if tied to the mast during the album’s fiery send-off.
On ‘A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia’, GREEN CARNATION set sail on an epic journey into a dark night of the soul.
For fans of OPETH, PARADISE LOST, PAIN OF SALVATION.
CD in deluxe Digipak with die-cut permitting to choose between 2 different covers and 8-page booklet.
Since forming in 2009, DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT has carved out a singular place in modern black metal, blending relentless intensity with a philosophical core. Rooted in the genre’s foundations yet constantly evolving, the German quartet is known for its emotional depth, compositional complexity, and striking live presence.
On sixth album ‘Innern’, the band turns inward with devastating clarity. Each track offers a meditation on human fragility and existential transformation, shifting between blistering aggression and haunting serenity. “Marter” explores shared suffering as a path to transcendence, “Eos” imagines nature reclaiming a blood-soaked earth, and “Forlorn” becomes an intimate plea for emotional refuge, sung in English to underscore its universality. The interplay between soaring guitars, pulsing bass, and intricate percussion frames Nikita Kamprad’s visceral vocal performance with precision and raw urgency.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Kamprad himself, the album captures both immediacy and atmosphere, placing the listener in direct confrontation with the void.

There`s a select few Black Metal recordings that have that special something most others lack. An atmosphere which can barely translated into words. They emanate an aura so ominously sinister and captivating that its macabre vibrations make the dark gods dance. Therefore Darkness Shall Rise Productions are immensely delighted to present a luxurious 2CD A5 digibook which features all recordings released prior to their first album Crossing the Fiery Path.
Spread over the 2 CDs are Promo 1990, NECROMANTIA`s tracks of the epochal split The Black Arts / The Everlasting Sins with VARATHRON (including the obscure track “Family Of Dog”) and Demo 1993.
These quintessential recordings will forever stand as beacons of art created in the shadow of the dark lord and will go on to serve as inexhaustible sources of inspiration for generations of Black Metal fanatics to come!
Greek NECROMANTIA were brought forth by Magus Wampyr Daoloth (aka Morbid aka The Magus) and the late Baron Blood in 1989. Radiating a pitch-black atmosphere right from the start, they are widely hailed as one of the earliest and most influential Hellenic Black Metal bands. The Latin term ´necromantia´ denotes a practice of magic that communicates with the dead for the sake of divination – for indeed, these sounds couldn`t possibly have been made without the assistance of the dead.
Unlike most bands which need some time of experimenting and trial and error to find their own sound (if ever), NECROMANTIA already presented their trademark style on Promo 1990 – their very first recording. Although in primal and crude shape, all the characteristics NECROMANTIA are worshipped for were already in place: The omission of guitars as rhythm instruments (they only appear for soli) in favour of two bass-guitars, the eerie, eccentrically theatrical parts that are rather reminiscent of audio drama and totally not something one would associate with a Metal band, the abysmal vocals …
This highly original and dark cocktail that these warlocks brewed and continued to refine on their subsequent legendary recordings was met with fascination and awe by the worldwide underground.
Luxurious A5 digibook double-CD with a 88 page booklet including a new interview with The Magus and many others new liner notes and interviews.
Limited to only 500 copies!
– black vinyl
1995 – 2025 / 30th anniversary release
In its original CD form, this has been ABIGOR´s most celebrated and best sold album, together with CRADLE OF FILTH´s debut heralding the start of Gothic Black Metal. Yet in stark contrast to the commercial traits, behind the well-implemented female vocals and tasteful keyboard additions lurks a backbone of Satanic Black Metal in its most radical form – by that, being a true product of the underground’s peak moment, when Black Metal reared its most ugly head in 1995.
In this regard, Nachthymnen is an almost solitary case, written by the reckless Austrian triumvirate at the age of 19 and 20, uniting beauty and wickedness, melancholic longing and an apocalyptic death drive. The most majestic album in the band’s history, capturing the essence of the fully blossoming 90s Black Metal scene at its turning point – the freedom and extremism of a scene which fell victim to a crisis of disorientation and mainstream corruption soon after. Nachthymnen may be one of the albums to blame for that, but remains fully innocent in its intention and execution. 9 hymns to the night, to demonic magic and the twilight kingdom.
This LP version in a glossy gatefold-sleeve for the first time delivers 1995 Hörnix sound perfectly transferred to vinyl, featuring a bonus CD with 1994/95 instrumental demo-rehearsals including early alternative versions, an extensive 32 page booklet, a poster and a brand-new master as download card as well.
2012 DOUBLE CD - DIGIPAK
SEALED
DOUBLE-DISC EDITION OF THE ICONIC 1992 BLACK METAL CLASSIC FROM DARKTHRONE, INCLUDING THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY MASTER, PLUS ADDITIONAL DISC WITH COMMENTARY FROM FENRIZ.
’A Blaze In The Northern Sky’, Darkthrone's official second album, was originally released in 1992 & was without question one of the blueprints for the Black Metal scene, spearheading the evolution of the early second wave movement in Norway & beyond. It was hailed on release as an album of true scene-shifting greatness, following their more death metal focussed debut, ’Soulside Journey’.
The rawness apparent on the album (recorded at Creative Studios, the same location as Mayhem's legendary Deathcrush was put to tape), was unusual for the time & an antithesis to the usual metal production values & standards during the period. With this, Darkthrone's statement of attitude & intent was clear & their status as masters of Norwegian black metal was set.
This edition of 'A Blaze In The Northern Sky' is presented on double-disc CD format & includes the audio master created for the album’s 30th anniversary in line with the original 1992 version, plus the 2012 commentary disc from Fenriz with his recollections on the tracks & the time period.
