FIRTAN's new album, Helios, charts the brutal path to enlightenment. Not as an escape, but as a conquest. Named after the sun itself, the album explores what it means to become the strongest and clearest version of oneself in a world designed for distraction and decay.
Fusing the raw, atmospheric ferocity of black metal with the crushing weight of death metal, Helios mirrors the album's core theme of clarity forged through struggle.
Evocative acoustic and electric violin melodies weave through the compositions, creating tension and complexity with their melancholic and experimental tones. This enhances the band's intricate riffing and unexpected musical shifts. The incorporation of acoustic instruments, ritualistic chants and analogue synthesizers adds layers of depth and atmosphere.
With CALL, Urisk confront the intertwined loss of wilderness, Gaelic culture, and the mythical in Scotland and beyond. The album takes its title from a tension between two meanings: the Scottish Gaelic call (/kauL/), meaning “loss”, and the English “call”, a calling out as much as an invocation to remember and reclaim what’s been marginalised or erased.
Moving between atmospheric passages and bursts of aggressive black metal, the songs on CALL create deliberate spaces for grief and mourning that naturally follow calamity and loss. Yet, this is not an album resigned to despair. Beneath the voices of melancholy and wrath runs the red thread of hope in the possibility of return, recovery, and reconnection through ways of worshipping the wild.
Urzirkel's debut EP 'In Silbernen Sprachen', explores the rites and mysteries of an ancient cult devoted to the earth and the primordial forces hidden beneath it.
Each track reveals a different facet of the Urzirkel as it seeks communion with forces older than mankind itself.
Cathedral’s ninth studio album was originally released by Nuclear Blast in 2010 as a double disc set and produced by x3 Grammy award winner Warren Riker (Fugees, Down, M People, Destiny's Child, COC). It was perhaps their most ambitious effort to date. It covers a lot of musical territories that the band were known for, with each song having a different to vibe to the next.
The Guessing Game has been a somewhat overlooked album in the Cathedral repertoire and, whilst the band were happy with the production, they always considered the original mix to be a bit lack-lustre. So now, with the recording rights reverting to the band, they thought it a good time to revisit the masters and get the album sounding more in keeping with how they would have liked it to sound at the time.
With that in mind, the album has been completely remixed from the original masters by long-time collaborator Jaime Gomez Arellano. Now, with a more cohesive, stripped down, raw and powerful sound, it includes alternate takes and extended versions of songs, now stretching over five sides of vinyl, enabling the tracks to breathe like never before. This new mix gives The Guessing Game a revitalised energy, which almost makes it sound like a new album.
