Repress of the AND OCEANS debut album from 1998 “The Dynamic Gallery of Thoughts” on LP!

Black Metal

Finnish black metal veterans BAPTISM return with ‘V: The Devil’s Fire’, their first new album in four years and their Season of Mist debut. As tracks like “Abyss”, “Satananda”, “Malignant Shadows” and the title track illustrate, BAPTISM founder and visionary Lord Sargofagian is unwavering in his pursuit of crafting of black metal anthems. BAPTISM are among the black metal elite, and ‘V: The Devil’s Fire’ refines the grim art of black metal orthodoxy into a sharper, more vicious weapon.

CRAFT return to strike terror once again with their long-awaited new album ‘White Noise and Black Metal’. Their first new album in over seven years, ‘White Noise and Black Metal’ sees the notorious and highly influential Swedish black metal band reclaiming their throne as one of the most intimidating and caustic entities in the underground. A cold and calculated attack on hope and the light, CRAFT spew nihilism and negativity in its purest forms. ‘White Noise and Black Metal’ is a true manifesto of hostility, and a testament to the genre’s most elite and uncompromising band!

Blood in Our Wells is the fourth album by band Drudkh, released in 2006, the name of the album comes from a line of the 1935 poem by Oleh Olzhych. The album’s overall sound is more influenced by folk music and pagan metal than the band’s previous releases, with most compositions consisting of two or more interlocking movements.

As a rule within the Black Metal scene many followers always consider any band’s first album to be the best. This also applies to DRUDKH as they created their trademark Slavonic Pagan Metal sound with “Forgotten Legends”, which embraces epic folk-influenced melodies and creates cinematic and luxuriant atmospheres charged with melancholy. To this day the three epic tracks and one outro are regarded as one of the highlights of the Pagan Black Metal genre. With “Forgotten Legends” the acclaimed beginning of DRUDKH is finally available in a carefully re-mastered and improved version with additional artwork.

DRUDKH is a venerated entity in the realm of atmospheric and pagan black metal. Renowned for their evocative storytelling and profound musical compositions, DRUDKH stands as a paragon of artistic depth, seamlessly melding the corporeal with the ethereal. With ‘Shadow Play’, DRUDKH offers a mesmerizing odyssey through themes of exile, the cyclical dance of life and death, and a poignant yearning for one’s origins. An album which invites you into a realm where silence battles storm, and light intertwines with shadow. A 6-track journey – “Scattering the Ashes” stirs the soul with its introspective melancholy, while “April” envelops you in a meditative trance.

Translated from “hatred” in Gaelic, FUATH is the atmospheric black metal offshoot of SAOR’s Andy Marshall.
Taking inspiration from arguably black metal’s most fertile and explosive period — the early to mid-1990s — the music channels the unrelenting tenor and iciness of forebears DARKTHRONE and MAYHEM, as well as the mystery and atmosphere of bands like WINDIR.

‘II’ marks a huge progression from FUATH debut album ‘I’ (2016), with better-crafted songs, sharper black metal vocals from Marshall and enhanced production values.
