Established by two girls from the Dresden area, Satyra and Melpomene, both heavily involved in
the rich local underground, ALTAR OV ASTERIA was envisioned and formed through its members'
shared influence of black metal. The goal of the band's material, embodied in their "Éna" debut, is to
balance visceral energy with enveloping atmosphere and dark melody, creating a sound both
rooted in black metal tradition and expansive new avantgarde sounds.
"Imagine you would wake up in a world full of mysteries and realities woven into each other, like in a
story book of the past centuries of Dante Alighieri or Homer. Two black-robed mysteries in
gold-snake masks wake you up from the heavy dorm with blackened sirens crushing your ears,
mesmerizing your mind to sense the allegories of humankind existence. You’ve got an invitation to a
storybook of hellish Sodom, chapter by chapter illustrating thy and foreign dystopia".

One with the Riverbed is a five-piece post-metal band from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Since forming in 2017, the band has strived to push the boundaries of the genre by incorporating elements of atmospheric black metal with dissonant textures and dynamic shifts. Succumb, the band's second full-length album, shows the band embracing their core musical identity while venturing into previously unexplored realms. With a distinct fusion of haunting melodies, visceral riffs, and enveloping soundscapes, the album is a testament to One with the Riverbed's continuous sonic evolution. Lyrical themes include nostalgia, temporality, and the human condition.

Born and raised along the rural shores of the Danube river, the element of water has always had a shaping impact on Marrok's perception of nature and life in general. Throughout the new Anomalie album „Riverchild“ he drew a musical portrait of an entity still present around this immense stream which had always nurtured and taken lifes equally, a force able of spending hope and wisdom but also possesses the strength and wrath to destroy and destruct.Comparable to the multiple faces of a colossal river like the Danube, the music on „Riverchild“ provides a diverse range of facets taking the listener on a journey full of profound and honest emotions expressed through aggressive outbursts of pure Black Metal dissonance as well as fragile moments of introspectivecalmness. Anomalie once again asks for focus and patience, but offers a wider range of rewarding layers than ever before!

A cinque anni dall'uscita del loro acclamato album 
“Hospodi”, le icone del BLACK METAL polacco 
PATRIARKH (ex Batushka) tornano con il nuovo concept 
album “ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ” (il Profeta Elijah). Dopo una 
controversia legale per l’uso del nome, il cantante 
Bartłomiej “Варфоломей” Krysiuk ha rinominato la 
band Patriarkh e manda alle stampe quello che può 
essere considerato il nuovo album dei Batushka ed il 
primo lavoro su etichetta Napalm Records. Senza ombra 
di dubbio, i Patriarkh sono uno dei gruppi più eccitanti 
dell'attuale scena EXTREME METAL e sono ora più che 
pronti a portare la loro essenza di BLACK METAL arcano 
che fa tremare le ossa! Con otto composizioni nuove, 
l'album porta l'ascoltatore nel mondo di Eliasz Klimowicz, 
il profeta Ilja, un contadino analfabeta che fu il leader 
della setta ortodossa Grzybowska. I Patriarkh diffondono 
il loro vangelo con un arsenale di strumenti FOLK, come 
tagelharpa, mandolino, mandocello, ghironda e dulcimer 
a corde, e con un'orchestra sinfonica e cori. Come per i 
Batushka, la sacralità ortodossa si mescola con il BLACK e 
il DOOM METAL, ora ampiamente arricchito con la 
musica FOLK, il NEO DARK FOLK e persino la musica da 
film. La band utilizza l'intera tavolozza della musica 
ortodossa, avventurandosi nelle aree della monodia 
bizantina, del canto liturgico e della polifonia russa, 
adattando ordinatamente le melodie folk e liturgiche al 
proprio stile.  Tuffatevi nelle ombre più profonde con 
questo capolavoro del BLACK METAL e unitevi ai 
PATRIARKH in questa intrigante cavalcata!

“Never Arrive, Never Return” marks a return to Cadaverous Condition‘s ferocious death metal roots. The album is a relentless assault on the senses, featuring a mix of epic tracks alongside haunting half-ballads, brutal eruptions and groove-laden songs interwoven with the band’s signature cryptic lyrics, all delivered with crisp production.
Formed in Austria during the early 90s, Cadaverous Condition carved a unique path in extreme metal. While their vocals remained rooted in death metal, they experimented with diverse influences, covering artists like The Sisters of Mercy and collaborating with acts like Nurse With Wound, Thighpaulsandra, Tobias Nathaniel (The Black Heart Procession) and Herr Lounge Corps. They also did an art project with Bill Drummond (The KLF) involving a specially made CD and sending a message in a bottle from the shores of Iceland. Despite these explorations, Cadaverous Condition never strayed from their core: extreme metal with a distinct and reflective style. They return in 2024 with “Never Arrive, Never Return“, a fitting title for a band known for their relentless sonic journey.
