Arckanum (SWE) – Kampen MARBLE DLP €38.88
Black Metal
With creative fires ever glaringly blazing and totally devoted to his craft, Shamaatae would be able to unleash Kampen only one year after the previous album spread pestilence and plague. The third and at the same time last installment of the band’s first era also ranks as the longest ARCKANUM album up to this day. Although recorded in the same studio as its predecessor and generally continuing the trajectory of Fran marder and Kostogher, Kampen is arguably the finest hour (or rather 73 minutes) of ARCKANUM’s first era. It not only contains some of the most refined compositions Shaamatae has come up with at this point but compared to the other two albums sports the best sound too. On a record rife with highlights, it’s difficult to pick particular tracks but the majestically melancholic “Pa gruvstiigher vandrum” complete with conjuring female chanting and the rather straight forward almost punkish “Trulfylket, raþz ok os” well represent the diversity of Kampen.
Remastered for vinyl from the original recordings by Patrick W. Engel of Temple of Disharmony.
This release will come as a double-LP in a gatefold sleeve with UV-varnish on the cover.
Including a huge 20-page 12” booklet with an in-depth interview (divided into 4 parts, this is part 4) with Shamaatae and many never seen before pictures.
An A2 poster will be added to every vinyl too.NOTE: This item is a pre-order item with an intended release date of November 5, 2025.

Arckanum (SWE) – Kostogher DLP €36.88
Black Metal
Two years after Fran marder’s release, the second ARCKANUM album Kostogher was set free to plague the feeble world. The ARCKANUM trademarks as edified on Trulen and Fran marder are kept intact while at the same time new ingredients are mingled. Whereas Fran marder had a rather clean sound, Kostogher’s production comes with a lot of stink and filth. The harsh sound of Kostogher which convincingly marries the rawness of Trulen with a vigorous studio production turns the second full-length into a savage and quite possibly the most primal sounding ARCKANUM album. Compared to Fran marder, Kostogher comes across way dirtier, meaner and all around crazier. The whole album has a bold FUCK OFF written all over it.
Remastered for vinyl from the original recordings by Patrick W. Engel of Temple of Disharmony.
This release will come as a double-LP in a gatefold sleeve with UV-varnish on the cover and an etched D-side.
Including a huge 20-page 12” booklet with an in-depth interview (divided into 4 parts, this is part 3) with Shamaatae and many never seen before pictures.

Arcturus (NOR) – Aspera Hiems Symfonia LP €30.88
Black Metal
Following their early EPs “My Angel” (1991) and “Constellation” (1994), ARCTURUS finally released their debut album “Aspera Hiems Symfonia” in 1996. The Norwegians derived their name from the brightest star of the Northern hemisphere and were obviously influenced by the massively expanding black metal scene of their homeland. Already featuring such well-known protagonists as ULVER’s Garm and MAYHEM’s Hellhammer, the line-up on “Aspera Hiems Symfonia” saw Samoth replaced by excellent guitarist Carl August Tidemann and outstanding ULVER bass player Hugh “Skoll” Mingay also joining the band. Despite their audible black roots, ARCTURUS clearly begged to differ by daring to experiment and adding an avant-garde twist with strange sonorous vocals complementing those piercing shrieks, Sverd’s cinematic keyboards, the technical guitar solos, and more elements that to this day mark the band from Oslo as progressive innovators.

Arcturus (NOR) – Constellation / My Angel CLEAR LP €34.88
Black Metal
Having grown out of the Norwegian Death Metal band MORTEM, ARCTURUS emerged under the irresistible influence of Oslo’s creatively bursting and fast rising underground black metal scene officially with the two-track 7″ “My Angel” (1991). With then-guitarist and formidable keyboard player Sverd and MAYHEM drum-beast Hellhammer at its core, vocals were first contributed by Marius Vold, who also sang on the legendary THORNS demo “The Thule Tape”. While still very much influenced by death metal, the addition of doom-laden slowness and eerie keyboards already pointed into a far blacker cosmos. On the four tracks of the original 1994 “Constellation” EP, ULVER’s Garm had taken over the vocal duties and Samoth from EMPEROR had joined the band on guitar. Yet, ARCTURUS already went off the (in reality quite wide-ranged) black metal norms mainly due to Sverd’s keyboard arrangements that were pre-shadowing the trademark theatrical or circus-like style the Norwegians adopted on their following albums.
LP (black vinyl) incl. poster, insert, padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve.

Arcturus (NOR) – La Masquerade Infernale LP €32.88
Black Metal
On their sophomore full-length “La Masquerade Infernale” (1997), ARCTURUS took their musical experimenting three ambitious steps further. The Norwegians succeeded in wedding a devilish concept loosely based on the characters of Faust and Mephistopheles with an eclectic range of surreal sound elements into an album that is rightfully considered a prime example of what later came to be known as avant-garde metal. From quoting Edgar Allan Poe in operatic paraphrases by frontman Garm (ULVER) or the additional high notes from the unmistakable I.C.S. Vortex (BORKNAGAR) via the spaced-out electronic samples, classical instrumentation, and an even increased use of psychedelic guitar riffage alongside more “traditional” black and death metal elements. Brilliant guitarist Knut Magne Valle replaced Carl August Tideman, which brought stability to this position of the band’s line-up. ARCTURUS aimed dangerously high with “La Masquerade Infernale” – but remarkably pulled off the extremely difficult feat of forging such widely differing elements into a wildly fascinating, over the top listening experience that has stood the test of time and surely deserves to be labelled a “masterpiece”.
Gatefold LP (black vinyl) incl. poster, padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve.

Ascète (FRA) – Calamites & Les Calamités LP €26.88
Black Metal
Calamites & les Calamités is the first full-length of Ascète. Through a rusty black metal, joyfully old, Ascète gives its vision of a forgotten and forlorn countryside, where the small poor people of campains slowly die in the indifference of big cities administrations. Melodic Black metal with punk/oï influences, Calamites & les Calamités haunts us in ridiculously difform Perigord legends, carried by the decadent proclamations howled in an almost ruined, out of age barn… (vocals were actually recorded there).
The magnificent work on guitars and sound will carry you in a forgotten countryside, where an aging population, almost feral and animal-looking, discretly and suspiciously wanders in its misery. Among the remains of minor historical landmark monuments, which returns to Earth, too. Slower, maybe, but in the same definitive manner.
Limited to 150 handnumbered. With lyrics insert.
