Black Metal

With their fourth studio album “Hulders Ritual” (‘Ritual of the Huldra’), SLAGMAUR break the chains of repetition and nostalgia by rewriting the rules of black metal. This does not mean abandoning the foundations of the genre, which is already indicated by working with the ‘inventor’ of the ‘Norwegian black metal sound’, THORNS mastermind Snorre W. Ruch, as an additional producer. The band’s founder, General Gribbsphiiser, rather unafraid and with reckless abandon mutates and warps the traditional formula through a host of subtle innovations and tweaks of the classic sound. Although “Hulders Ritual” continues, refines, and widens the daring stylistic balance of SLAGMAUR’s previous works, it adds an extra dimension of sardonic mania to its collection of sharp and vicious sonic instruments. Choice guest-contributions that include TAAKE vocalist Hoest, DIMMU BORGIR guitarist Silenoz, and MISÞYRMING frontman D.G., who cover three decades of Nordic black metal make a case in point.

Collection of all past recordings of this contemporary drug infused black metal act from Bulgaria.

RAC/Oi!

In the 1980s, France produced a number of impressive Oi! bands that stood out for their energy, authenticity and passion. One of the most outstanding representatives of this genre was undoubtedly the formation, which originally consisted of three brothers – Didier (vocals), Boni (drums) and Manu (bass) – as well as a childhood friend, Fred (guitar). Their 1986 record “Quand Le Soleil Se Levera” (Eng: When the Sun Rises) is a milestone of the French Oi!. Recorded in Lille, the band’s hometown, the album combines raw Oi!/Punk with catchy melodies and engaging lyrics. Classics like “Ces Annes La”, “Europe” and “Clockwork Orange” show the group’s versatility and their ability to captivate the listener.

Black Metal

“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.

Black Metal

New LP edition of the full-length from 1998 .
Snowland is cold, really cold, pure, lo-fi in the extreme, achieving the very first goal of what Sorcier Des Glaces wanted to evoke in the eyes of the world. Expressing disgust with the human race by exiling himself to its own snowland, the melodies evoke a certain romanticism of the great Nordic forests. He is then alone to begin his reign on his night’s throne.

Black Metal

Now, to round out the ruinous year of 2022, it is here, bearing the title Requiem. Indeed something of a lament, feeling fixed and finite, SPECTRAL CORRUPTION’s latest full-length bristles with a despair that can only suggest infinite misery, malodorous and miasmic: a vacuum of violence where melodic/majestic riffing gets broken down and blown out. Mainman Verminitar (also of Cryptic Vampire and Spheral Void) howls into that vacuum, drunk on his own power/misery but drowning within it all the same. That he ends the album with a Lamp of Murmuur cover indeed underlines SPECTRAL CORRUPTION’s place within this uprising of modern RAW black metal.

Black Metal

Terrific magical alliance between two of the best hordes in the Raw Black Metal underground in the last couple years.

The Canadian maniacs in Starcave Nebula deliver a long track of blistering, ultra-lo-fi, acidic and psychotropic Improv Raw Black Metal mayhem, with askew, mind-warping riffage, and pummeling drum performance that absolutely annihilates and demolishes your ribcage .

Trhä’s first two songs offer some of their most orthodox release to date, following a more traditional approach.
Trhä still never by any means loses its magical character, otherwordly atmosphere or spirit.
These tracks follow more along the line of the “Mã Héshiva…” and “Vat gëlénva​!​!​!” albums, with influences from bands such as Mütiilation, Mystic Forest or Manierisme.
The third track however features again a more fairytale atmosphere, with the addition of the pop-ish, upbeat synthesizers that appear in “Tálcunnana…” or “Endlhëdëhaj…”

Black Metal

STUTTHOF “And Cosmos From Ashes To Dust…” album is finally resurrected in a definitive double LP edition, honoring the spirit of its original manifestation while expanding its sonic universe.

This reissue presents the complete album as it appeared on the original CD release by Drama Company back in 2004, meticulously prepared for vinyl pressing at The Empty Hall Studio, alongside exclusive bonus tracks drawn from rare and long-unavailable EPs, offering a deeper descent into the band’s obscure and atmospheric legacy.

The original artwork has been carefully restored under the supervision of founding member VP9, preserving its authentic vision while enhancing its visual intensity for this special edition – far from pompous and soulless reissues, maintaining the true essence of this masterpiece.

A work of darkness, mysticism, and cosmic decay, reborn now with reverence and power. A gateway reopened for those who seek beyond the veil, where past and present dissolve into one continuous current.

Prepare to journey again… from ashes to dust.

Released by BlackSeed Prods.
