DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE
Ravendusk In My Heart

NEAR MINT COPY OF THIS PRESS

The startling 1996 debut album of dark atmospheric Black Metal from Katatonia mastermind Anders 'Blackheim' Nyström

“A work of considerable depth and power.” - Metal Archives

Ravendusk In My Heart combines fantastic imagery, which work alongside accomplished atmospherics mixed with cold Black Metal (bringing to mind the early works of Emperor). 

The album was recorded at the famous Unisound Studio in September 1995, produced by Dan Swanö and Blackheim, and mixed by Swanö (Opeth, Dissection, and Marduk).

STELLAR BLIGHT
EVENTIDE : Synod of the Dying Stars

Formed in 2024 by the guitarist/bassist Sz. I. (Shodan) & the vocalist S. (Mānbryne, Blaze of Perdition), then joined by the drummer KwB (Owls Woods Graves) shortly after, Stellar Blight offers a striking and catchy take on highly energetic metal of death in the vein of late Dissection, Wayfarer or Tribulation, while also not shying away from traditional heavy metal roots.

“Eventide: Synod of the Dying Stars” is the band’s debut full-length album consisting of 10 tracks spanning over 40+ minutes of death driven heavy metal. Recorded at Sound of Records & Studio Roslyn and currently being mixed and mastered by Satanic Audio.

AGALLOCH - Ashes Against The Grain, MC (Ice)
Pre order

AGALLOCH
Ashes Against The Grain, MC (Ice)

Originally released in 2006, 'Ashes Against the Grain' seamlessly blends heaviness with atmosphere and precision. With their third full-length, the band continued their musical journey, always a step ahead, but without losing grip of their dark metal roots. The album combines elements of black metal, Scandinavian prog-rock, and post-rock with the unique, melancholic, contemplative style that is so typical of Agalloch.

From the driving force of “Falling Snow” to the dissolving trilogy “Our Fortress Is Burning...,” this is Agalloch at their most direct and elemental. A contrast to the warmth firey nightsky of 'Pale Folklore', the monumental poetic folk of 'The Mantle' , 'Ashes...' gazes into a horizon of dying embers with clarity.

The band’s panoramic scope of songwriting - takes on a widescreen scale - combined with the albums imagery, and production all aligned into a monolithic statement — sharp, modern, and unrelentingly melancholic.

AGALLOCH - Pale Folklore (Trifold DLP Smoke)
Pre order

AGALLOCH
Pale Folklore (Trifold DLP Smoke)

Although 'Pale Folklore' stands as Agalloch`s debut record, it already embodies several elements that later became part of the band`s signature sound. Effortlessly picking up from their excellent demonstration cassette, it sees the band refining their sound even further. An audio amalgamation combining the profoundness of early Ulver, with the gloom of old Katatonia and the exalted boldness of Fields of the Nephilim, thus adding unique elements of nostalgia and atmosphere to their own melodic interplay of guitars and excellent musical framework. The album contains strong signs of a band that knew at a young age how to draw their canvas. Influenced by the landscapes of the American Pacific Northwest, and with an essence reminiscent of the Scandinavian wilderness, it firmly put Agalloch on the map and raised eyebrows about what a band from North America can be capable of.

As a person that grew up checking out records based on their cover artwork alone, this album was particularly notable - the wood grain cover with a gold emblazoned logo engraving was instantly enthralling. This is music that glorifies the night sky, envisions campfire magic, heralds nature over humans, arcane arts & poetry, and worships the beauty of a crackling fireplace. It could be the soundtrack for a lone wanderer striving through a wintry storm, only to end up knocking on a faded wooden door to find shelter in a desolate cabin. In many ways the sound of forlorn times.

If you are looking to fill your heart with woodsmoke and the fire of the mountain's spirit, look no further.

"Pale Folklore was a watershed moment in American heavy music, when a few young musicians with a shared love of underground death metal – and broad personal tastes beyond – turned their already virtuosic talents toward a fresh hybrid of metal and neofolk through a gothic lens." Daniel Lake / author of USBM: A Revolution of Identity in American Black Metal

AGALLOCH - The Mantle (Trifold DLP Smoke)

AGALLOCH
The Mantle (Trifold DLP Smoke)

Agalloch's 'The Mantle' isn't just a great and influential album; it's a transformative journey, one that showed the band breaking away from their early direction in favor of its intricate blend of atmospheric metal mixed with an unheard amount of folk, and post-rock canvas.

Originally released in 2002, and met with surprise and mixed emotions, it continues to captivate listeners with its atmospheric depth and emotional resonance decades later. One could say, there is no other album like this, none other whose artwork and imagery are so intertwined, every image resonates so well with the music, it feels almost impeccable, as if pictures could tell the songs by themselves.

The album allows the nostalgic warmth many crave, yet simultaneously creates a contemporary setting with cold and haunting silver imagery: nature's majestic realm meets post-modern bitterness.

From the haunting melodies of "In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion" to the almost hypnotic rhythms of "I Am the Wooden Doors," the album's sonic palette is as diverse as the landscapes it evokes. Each track on "The Mantle" unfolds like a chapter in a dark, enchanting journey. Agalloch's signature blend of atmospheric (black) metal, deep folk instrumentation, and poetic lyricism creates a sense of introspection, an ethereal post-urban panorama.

Ultimately, 'The Mantle' isn't just an album to be listened to; it's another experience to be felt. For fans of atmospheric & profound music, this album remains utterly relevant... and utterly essential.

DARK SANCTUARY
Cernunnos (digibook CD)

new and unplayed but missed shrinkwrap

Hard-cover mediabook with extensive booklet

Pioneering French dark atmospheric music since 1996, Dark Sanctuary is back with their eighth album, Cernunnos, the first in fourteen years. Following the EP Iterum released in 2022, it marks the group's return to the front of the stage.

Cernunnos is an ancient Gaulish god who embodied the biological cycle of nature, simultaneously reflecting life and death, germination and decay, like the deer, the animal that represents him, who loses its antlers in winter to recover them in spring. This title perfectly symbolizes the history of Dark Sanctuary after these years of artistic break and this rebirth.

Composed during the year 2022, the 11 songs of this album make it one of the most varied that Dark Sanctuary have made so far, oscillating between what has characterized the band for two decades and new musical horizons. Both dark and emotional, Cernunnos is a new milestone in the history of the group.

Mixed and mastered by Øystein G. Brun at Crosound Studio in Bergen

DIGIPACK CD

The sixth seal of Battle Dagorath' saga will indeed stand as their best album to date by many aspects, last but not least a sharp and definite production that's giving full emphasis to their majestic and epic songwriting (counting over 73 minutes of aural battle this time...)

A crushing Spectral Black Metal soundscape that unlocks a visionary journey into the third eye. Abyss Horizons represents the unraveling of your unconscious Ancient dreams, crossing the abyss into transcendental Magic realms. Traversing the boundaries of this dimension, the shadows of transformation are now awakened to restore the illumination of the Great Darkness.
