"I I", the aptly-titled and comprehensively majestic second album from BLOOD ABSCISSION fortifies the veiled project as a major new player in the increasingly overcrowded field of contemporary Black Metal.

While the sense of perpetual forward motion and cascades of opulent melodies from outstanding 2023 debut "I" remain, the band here raise their compositional acumen: balancing out eruptions of chaotic rage with mystical transcendent calm, increasing push/pull dynamics to elevate the physical and emotional weight of each piece, and delivering upgraded songcraft to pack an ever more emotive punch.

Dark green LP

Following the successful launch of the comprehensive reissue campaign for the precious musical legacy of Sweden's pioneering melodic death metal band Edge of Sanity, which began in 2024, the final titles of the fourth and final chapter are now set to be released in spring 2026.

Led by the band's vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and acclaimed metal producer Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia, Dissection, Bloodbath, Nightingale, etc.), Edge of Sanity's entire catalogue has been fully remastered and partly remixed by Swanö himself. It will finally be extensively available again in several attractive versions.

Cryptic, Edge of Sanity's 1997 death metal album featuring the then-new vocalist Robert Karlsson (Scar Symmetry, Pan.Thy.Monium, Facebreaker, Darkified), who replaced Dan Swanö, is finally available again as a remastered version on CD and LP.

"Cryptic (1997) marks the arrival of vocalist Roberth Karlsson (Scar Symmetry, Pan.Thy.Monium, Facebreaker, Darkified), who took over from Dan Swanö. This remastered edition of Cryptic is now available.

The 2CD set in an O-Card includes the 8 tracks from the original album on the first CD, along with 10 bonus tracks (covers, alternative mixes, and live recordings) on the second CD."

Batushka's 2019 Opus Returns: The Liturgy of Death Re-released!

Back on Black is proud to announce the comprehensive reissue of Hospodi (Church Slavonic for "Lord"), the second full-length album from the Polish black metal phenomenon, Batushka. Initially released in 2019, Hospodi represents a more polished, melodic, and theatrical evolution of the band's signature, ritualistic sound.

Based on the Eastern Orthodox "Liturgy of Death" and traditional funeral rites, the album is a thematic journey through death and judgment. This reissue brings back the ten-track masterpiece, which blends traditional black metal (tremolo riffs, ferocious blast beats) with haunting choirs, atmospheric ambient interludes, and profound Slavic chants.

Hospodi was lauded for its dramatic production, and this reissue shines a light on key tracks like the atmospheric opener "Wozglas," the rocking-yet-menacing "Wieczernia," and the powerful closer "Liturgiya".

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.

Cacophonous, contorted blackgaze and ambient black metal from Black Pastel—a two-piece band of Ghidorah May Star (guitar/vocals) and Scheherazade (drums/vocals).

Forged from the ashen sparks of colliding sheet-noise riffs and shimmering atmospherics, the album implodes into a prism of bleak euphoria. Mystic black metal that straddles the realms of Trha and Deafheaven, yet possesses a raw, singular aura all its own.

Released on red/black marble [100 copies] 

Dive into the shadows with The Wrath of the Silent Temples, the latest EP from French black metal act Noirsuaire.

Fusing raw, feral aggression with haunting organ interludes, it balances relentless blasts, brooding mid-tempo grooves, and spectral atmosphere. Cleaner production sharpens their sound without losing its primal intensity, making this a refined yet savage journey into the heart of darkness.

Released on black vinyl [130 copies] 

Brooding 2nd manifesto from French one‑man black metal sorcerer Mesfetor. Over five merciless tracks—including the blistering “Etendards (& Ost Noir)” and the haunting “Mass Grave Ecstasy”—Nith conjures raw, traditional black metal sharpened by icy synths and spectral textures

SPECIAL RECORD STORE DAY 2026 RELEASE OF ONE OF DARKTHRONE’S RARE LIVE APPEARANCES, PRESENTED ON LIMITED PETROL VINYL WITH PRINTED INNER SLEEVE.

Longstanding Norwegian band Darkthrone started in 1986, originally under the name of Black Death, before their final infamous moniker was introduced. Although becoming known the world over as a black metal band crucial to the lasting legacy of the genre, Darkthrone began more as an extreme metal band utilising elements of thrash, death & doom metal into their early compositions.

With the core classic line-up of Gylve Nagell (Drums), Ted Skjellum (Guitars/vocals), Ivar Enger (Guitars) & Dag Nilsen (Bass) & presented for the first time on standalone vinyl (having previously only featured in the long sold-out ‘Shadows Of Iconoclasm’ boxset), ‘As Wolves Among Sheep…’ Live in Oslo ’90 sees the Norwegian quartet still in their formative years at the legendary Bootleg, playing a collection of material from their demos (which were to be included on the ‘Soulside Journey’ debut album), along with rare performances of tracks which would eventually surface on the intended but then abandoned follow-up, ‘Goatlord’.

The vinyl contains audio sourced from a digital transfer from the original master tapes courtesy of the Bootleg TV archive, with mastering work carried out by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony.

This edition of ‘As Wolves Among Sheep…’ is presented on limited Petrol coloured vinyl for Record Store Day 2026 & includes a printed inner sleeve with photos & lyrics.
