Possessed by unstoppable momentum, the beautifully prolific Swiss atmospheric Black Metal band AARA present “Triade I: Eos”, the first part of a forthcoming trilogy inspired by the 1820 Gothic novel “Melmoth the Wanderer” by Charles Robert Maturin.

Perpetually climatic and sumptuously melodic, the esoteric secrets of religion, atheism and occultism interwoven in the book’s narrative are furiously elucidated via a set of ornate, rapturous constructions at once state-of-the-art and period-reverent.

Exploiting a rich vein of form, AARA find the past inside the present through a passionate, oft economical arrangement of rapier-sharp neoclassical earworm leads, anguished vocals, meditative synth, melancholic choral textures and drumming of inch-perfect intensity.

“The Dreaming I” is available again, this time on double vinyl in complete unedited form with D side featuring a laser etching. A fascinating and grandiose sonic monument consisting of five otherworldly compositions, five dark tunnels of fury and intensity in which to lose yourself, filled with dangerous and hypnotic melodies.

This first album is a unique moment in timeless time, a delicious abyss of dark and ethereal enchantment that takes Black Metal into another magnificient dimension. Gateways upon gateways…

Unmistakably BLUT AUS NORD, “777 – The Desanctification” is typically swarming, manic and cascading but also more ambient and atmospheric than “777 – Sect(s)”. With speed and violence eschewed in favour of morose moods and unsettling soundscapes, this journey is meditative, trancelike and intriguing. Are you ready to be desanctified?

The legendary “Memoria Vetusta I – Fathers Of The Icy Age” captures BLUT AUS NORD in the remarkable embryonic phase of an evolutionary process that would culminate in one of Black Metal’s great enigmas.

Finally released for the first time on vinyl with its original front cover, “Memoria Vetusta I – Fathers Of The Icy Age” is canonical primeval Black Metal from another age. Essential.

Pressed on black heavy vinyl. Comes with a 2-page insert, an A2 poster and a download card.

1995 debut “Ultima Thulée” initiated BLUT AUS NORD’s bold journey toward transcendence through Black Metal. One of the first albums to emerge from the now-legendary French underground scene, “Ultima Thulée” showcases a cold and primitive yet no less uniquely atmospheric BLUT AUS NORD compared with the twisted, dissonant trailblazer evident on more recent releases. The ground-breaking decadence of “Ultima Thulée” is presented here with artwork as close as possible to the original release and with enhanced audio mastered specifically for vinyl.

Pressed on black heavy vinyl. Comes with a 2-page 12″x12″ insert and a download card.
