"Sorcier Des Glaces' second offering to the mortal world was recorded just two years after the very first album, in August 1999. Nevertheless, the maturity of their sound and composition is perceptible. It's no longer a one-man band this time, involving Luc more extensively, who this time records all the drum parts and also participates in the elaboration of several keyboard parts. The infernal duo is officially up and running.

With its icy atmosphere and dark yet melodic compositions reflecting the northern forests of Quebec, "Moonrise in Total Darkness" defines a young band still in exploration mode. Certainly more raw in its aestheticism than the band's more recent material, but with an authenticity that has forged their identity over the years".

Re-issue, 4 page booklet 145g in a jewel case, sealed.

Sargeist has always had an interesting atmosphere, and it's rather hard to describe. Imagine if Mütiilation's predilections for drugs, suicide, and Satan were celebrated instead of mourned and you have a good idea.
Sargeist's music is always vaguely disgusting and filthy yet resolutely proud of its own decay-hedonistic and excessive, like Caligula-era Rome. Well, if you want filth-caked black metal, it's hard to find a better example in the Sargeist catalog than this demo. Sargeist has never sounded so sleazy as on tracks like 'Anti-Human Black Metal Wrath', where the strains of 'Deathcrush'-era Mayhem come home to roost in a short, violently rhythmic track. The production only aids the oily, viscous feeling of these songs, with the murky guitars and drums moving like a sea of raw sewage under the perpetually hissing and howling vocals. It's definitely a good example of rawness used to aid music rather than detract from it.

Re-issue properly with a complete updated layout released with leading band member Shatraug himself as supervisor.

Grim Nihlistic Black Metal. This is a cold as death, Black Metal masterpiece!! Featuring members of HORNA & BEHEXEN, this is the Finnish BM supergroup! Perhaps the coldest release since DARKTHRONE's "Under A Funeral Moon"!

The riffing is fast, melodic, and in pure Finnish/Norwegian black metal roots heritage.

The band's melodic quality shines best in the track ‘Sargeist' on this album. It's absolutely heart wrenching. Dripping with anger and emotion. Regret, sorrow, hatred, ready to end it all. No Funeral. This is the real fucking deal.

Sargeist does a brilliant job breaking from blast-beats into a head banging steady rhythm that keeps me tapping my boot through the song at different rhythmically timed formations. It's in many ways traditional shit, done better than most groups out there.

Those Who Reign Below is the 8th studio album in the purest tradition of old school death metal, a work of musical impiety, a death metal as hateful as much as aggressive, switching imposing mid-tempos and demonic accelerations, sulphureous melodies and vocals straight from the devil's forge. An aura of evil surrounds each track, in a veritable debauchery of hate that gives the impression of having witnessed the manifestation of the devil.

This album represents the extreme and uncompromising side of MERCYLESS, which has grown steadily over the years, in a blasphemous symphony inherited from the 90s Death Metal.
The cover was designed by Mexican artist Nestor Avalos, whose talent represents all the darkness emanating from this album. The production was entrusted to Raph Henry of HELDSCALLA studio, who sculpted a sound highly representative of the violence and anger of this extreme and irreligious music.

It's a tribute to the underground, to the man who blends in with the crowd and takes on a presence so frightening that he's so clearly recognizable... the Devil... on his throne, majestic and merciless!"

Founded in 1991, Belial only lived a short career but burned with a bright flame. The band opened the gates to success – and hell – right from the start with their demo tape and mini-album “Wisdom of Darkness” (1992). Belial's debut full length album “Never Again” (1993) was well received by fans and even had some commercial success cementing their name as one of the cruelest and darkest-sounding Finnish death metal band of their time.
