The cult 2007 classic from Swedish melodic black metal masters, returning on CD and limited edition clear vinyl formats!
Harvest is the fifth album from the Swedish veterans and is considered a cornerstone of modern melodic black metal. It balances the uncompromising brutality of early Scandinavian black metal with melodic death metal sensibilities, resulting in songs that are vicious yet deeply memorable. The album features the wicked vocals of Christopher Olivius and the songwriting skills of Marcus Norman, resulting in a "black romantic atmospheric" sound.

New album of ancient Black Metal. A step backwards, forwards and aside.
Second press! Gatefold sleeve, and vinyl in "comet torrent" vinyl effect!!
Crystal clear and black marbled 12" vinyl (33rpm) in gatefold with double sided insert.
Limited to 250 copies worldwide!
NARGAROTH is the sole vision of Rene "Ash" Wagner, forged in Saxony in 1996 and driven by nearly three decades of raw, uncompromising German black metal.
‘Apocalyptic Steel’ is a record that refused to stay buried. Tracked in a single weekend at Trident Studios in Pacheco, California, in September of 2014, the album sat forgotten on a hard drive in the United States while ‘Era of Threnody’ took priority. Years later, the recordings resurfaced. Drums were re-recorded in Las Vegas, vocals and mixing completed at AMP Studios in Duisburg, and 12 years after its first sessions, the album is finally here. This is not a vault curiosity. It is NARGAROTH at its most direct: nine tracks of filthy, unadorned metal built on the attitude of old Judas Priest, Accept, Deicide and Obituary. From the predatory menace of “Twisted Steel” to the band-name-studded battle cry of “Metalheart”, from the unflinching historical weight of “Dresden” to the aching Germanic longing of “Requiem Germania”, this is an album that has nothing to prove and wastes nothing on pretense.
Recorded fast, recorded dirty, and finished on its own terms.
For fans of DARKTHRONE, MAYHEM, ACCEPT, MOTORHEAD, DEICIDE.

"This time we entered the studio with the clear intention of creating a landmark album for the band." It's a noble and challenging mission statement from Hellenic black metal troop Yoth Iria, and one that has amply succeeded in the form of Gone With The Devil, the Attica quartet's stellar third album. Their trajectory has been on a steep ascent since crafty 2021 debut As The Flame Withers and 2024's hypnotic Blazing Inferno, but there has audibly been a concerted determination to develop and expand in sinister new directions.
The daemonic avatar Yoth Iria was first explicitly summoned on Rotting Christ's legendary debut Thy Mighty Contract in 1993. Bassist/lyricist Jim Mutilator formed that band as Black Church in 1984, before also becoming a founder member of cult Athenian BM heroes Varathron for their first five years. Renewing the otherworldly atmospheres and occult ravishment for a new era, Yoth Iria functions almost as the third panel in an apocalyptic triptych of Hellenic black metal excellence.
There's a thrilling balance of ancient and modern, good and evil, harmony and dissonance, advancing Yoth Iria as a hungry contender for extreme metal's big leagues - an ever-improving unit with a glorious future. Appropriately, however, Gone With The Devil is best summed up with a line already coined by the band to describe their ongoing body of work: "Every note tells a story of rebirth, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of musical transcendence."

Ravenous Swedish Death Metal! Heavy, raw, melodic and mercilessly dark!
Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, the breeding ground of Entombed, Dismember and Unleashed, Xorsist carry the city’s Death Metal legacy with conviction.
Rooted in the raw buzz saw tradition of early ’90s Swedish Death Metal yet sharpened with modern bite, the band have steadily risen through the underground with “Deadly Possession” (2022) and “At the Somber Steps of Serenity” (2023).
While their earlier recordings honored the path that defined the classic Stockholm sound, “Aberrations” marks a decisive step forward, eclipsing everything that came before it and presenting a clearer, more defined expression of the band’s musical vision.
With this new chapter, Xorsist continue to carry the Swedish Death Metal torch into darker territory!

The most overlooked forefathers of Swedish Death Metal! Recorded in the early 90’s at the legendary Sunlight Studios!
God Macabre formed in the end of the 80’s under the name Macabre End. In 1991 they changed their name to God Macabre and released one song for the Pantalgia compilation and an album through the small German label Mangled Beyond Recognition Records before splitting up.
Originally released in 1993, “The Winterlong” was recorded at Stockholm’s legendary Sunlight Studios in 1991 and engineered by Tomas Skogsberg (Amorphis, At The Gates, Entombed). Now fully remastered and available again, “The Winterlong” reissue also contains four bonus tracks, including the band’s original 7” demo from 1990 plus the previously unreleased track, “Life’s Verge”, the first new God Macabre recording in over 20 years.
The most overlooked forefathers of Swedish Death Metal! Recorded in the early 90’s at the legendary Sunlight Studios!
Recorded in the early 90’s by Tomas Skogsberg at the legendary Sunlight Studios. The CD version comes with an extra disc with over one hour of previously unreleased material, remastered by Nightside Audio.
One of the UK underground's longest-running and most respected acts, HECATE ENTHRONED has been praised by the likes of Terrorizer for their "mixture of death metal aggression with black metal atmosphere" while New Noise Magazine declares them "an absolute must for fans of extreme gothic metal". Originally co-founded in Wales by guitarist Nigel Dennen in the mid-1990s, the band is dedicated to delivering their own brand of evil metal with little regard to politics or the trends of popular demand. The group's 1997 full-length, the Andy Sneap-produced 'The Slaughter Of Innocence, A Requiem For The Mighty' (Blackend Records), was a seminal release in the then-burgeoning orchestral black metal movement, and since then, five more studio outputs including their M-Theory Audio debut in 2019 with the 'Embrace Of The Godless Aeon' (HECATE ENTHRONED's first recording with vocalist Joe Stamps) and numerous live performances have firmly established the band as one of extreme metal's most important voices.
The album will be released May 29 on Digipak CD, limited-edition colored vinyl including 250 Boreal Light (EU) and 250 Draconic Vision (US) variants, and digital. 'The Corpse of a Titan, A Lament Long Buried' is once again produced by HECATE ENTHRONED and Dan Abela (Akercocke, Bleed from Within, Annal Nathrakh), who also mixed/mastered the album with cover art created by Erskine Designs (Inanimate Existence, Bleed The Sky).

Swedish black/thrash metal veterans Bewitched are back.
Forged in fire back in 1995, three decades of chaos now culminate in Diabolical Death Mass. Their new full-length album will be unleashed via Osmose Productions, making it the first studio release since 2006.
Years of silence were broken on stage, igniting triumphant infernos in Brazil, Colombia, Greece and all across Europe. Thus proving that the fire is burning brighter than ever.
Now, the circle is completed as Bewitched return to the legendary Osmose Productions, the label that helped shape their early legacy. With Diabolical Death Mass, Bewitched deliver 11 tracks true to the traditional old-school black/thrash sound that made them known: savage riffs, anthemic power and pure blackened fury. An uncompromising Hellcult attack, nothing more and nothing less.
Diabolical Death Mass is not a resurrection.
Bewitched were never dead.
Let the ritual begin.

The 'Alle Hernach' album by SCHATTENVALD is the first professionally recorded album by the band. It is not an utterly new one but puts old songs upon the right level. Re-arrangements, high quality recording, mixing and mastering shows what it was always meant to be.
An album that balances raging blasts with mournful melody, covering a wide swath of black metal's history, but anchoring it in the here and now. Atmospheric and melodic, furious and blasphemous, 'The Wild Divine' endeavors to show you just how much black metal at its most devout already offers, rather than allowing the sound to grow so far from its roots that it becomes unrecognizable.
Hailing from eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania, IRONFLAME is a modern heavy metal outfit with traditionally-based ideals. Their fist-banging anthems hearken back to the sounds of such venerable acts as Riot, Nocturnal Rites, Running Wild, and Fifth Angel. Multi-instrumentalist Andrew D'Cagna formed IRONFLAME in late-2016 as a solo project, but the group soon became a formidable live unit. The current performing lineup consists of D'Cagna on vocals, guitarists Quinn Lukas and Jesse Scott, James Babcock on bass, and Noah Skiba behind the kit.
IRONFLAME has played high-profile festivals such as Legions of Metal in the U.S. and Keep it True in Germany alongside metal heavyweights such as Armored Saint, Grim Reaper, Flotsam and Jetsam, and Uli Jon Roth; and—having recently completed a European tour with Comaniac—a return to Europe is already taking shape for 2020 in support of the band's forthcoming third full-length, Blood Red Victory.
Hailing from eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania, IRONFLAME is a modern heavy metal outfit with traditionally-based ideals. Their fist-banging anthems hearken back to the sounds of such venerable acts as Dio, Omen, Riot, Iron Maiden and Fifth Angel. Multi-instrumentalist Andrew D'Cagna formed IRONFLAME in late-2016 as a solo project, but the group soon became a formidable live unit—performing at high-profile festivals such as Legions of Metal in the U.S. and Keep it True in Germany; alongside metal heavyweights such as Armored Saint, Grim Reaper, Flotsam & Jetsam, Venom and Loudness.
Since the band's inception, IRONFLAME has recorded a number of tracks for exclusive bonus content, compilations, splits, etc. Some have even remained unreleased... until now! The 10-song Compendium CD compiles tunes from the European vinyl pressings of Lightning Strikes the Crown and Tales of Splendor and Sorrow, the split 7" with Comaniac, the 10-year anniversary Storm Crusher LP, unreleased cuts from the Blood Red Victory sessions, and an unreleased acoustic take of "Marching On."
As fans first and foremost, Divebomb Records is excited to repackage these IRONFLAME rarities on one handy disc,
Inspired by growing up listening to epic metal legends such as Iron Maiden, Savatage, Helloween, and Judas Priest, multi-instrumentalist Andrew D'Cagna formed IRONFLAME in late-2016 as an outlet for crafting soaring, melodic heavy/power metal of his own. After the immensely positive response toward IRONFLAME's Divebomb Records debut, Lightning Strikes the Crown, motivation for a follow-up surfaced rather quickly. Utilizing the tried-and-true formula of "if it's not broken, don't fix it," the entire process remained largely the same—as fast and improvisational as before.
The cult 2007 classic from Swedish melodic black metal masters, returning on CD and limited edition clear vinyl formats!
Harvest is the fifth album from the Swedish veterans and is considered a cornerstone of modern melodic black metal. It balances the uncompromising brutality of early Scandinavian black metal with melodic death metal sensibilities, resulting in songs that are vicious yet deeply memorable. The album features the wicked vocals of Christopher Olivius and the songwriting skills of Marcus Norman, resulting in a "black romantic atmospheric" sound.

ARAGON formed in Levittown, NY when high school friends Mike Pope (guitar) and Gerry Holz (drums) joined forces with Vinny Ciminera (bass) and Rob Andersen (vocals). Initially inspired by the classic sounds of Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, etc., the four-piece gradually gravitated toward the burgeoning thrash style being fostered by future legends such as Metallica. The initial result of such efforts was "Dreams of Hell," intended for the Arctic Records Presents compilation in 1986, though ultimately unreleased at that time.
Formed in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada in late-1989, CATSCAN's members—Alan Goddard (vocals, bass), Sean Horodyski and Brian Erfle (guitars), and Todd Pitts (drums)—combined their individual influences into an interesting and unique take on techy, thrash-leaning metal that wouldn't draw immediate comparisons to any of their contemporaries. Also of note is the lyrical direction having been influenced by Alan's Christian faith—especially interesting in that the rest of the band didn't necessarily agree with such concepts.
Hyper-obscure Pennsylvania thrash metal outfit DEMENTIA formed in 1988 and endured a number of lineup shifts during the band's infancy. Led by guitarist Bill Schaeffer, an instructor at Hawk Music known locally to be an impressive shredder, many of the ideas that would ultimately make up The Insanity Chronicles were in place from the start. Initially inspired by the likes of SLAYER, VENOM, IRON MAIDEN, and KING DIAMOND, Bill's songwriting fragments were pieced together by the members as they practiced two to three times a week, honing their skills with the hopes of securing as many live shows as possible.
Forward-thinking Philadelphia area thrash act DOMINANCE formed from the ashes of cult heroes Anvil Bitch during the late-'80s. The core of the band—John Plumley on guitar, Dave Carr on bass, and drummer Chuck Stadulis—hooked up with vocalist Chuck Miles and guitarist John Hebert to explore a darker, more rhythmic form of vicious thrash metal; even becoming early adopters of experimenting with the addition of samples into their compositions.
Lesser-known thrashers FALLEN ANGEL formed in Örebro, Sweden during the late-'80s, founded by vocalist/guitarist Johan Bülow and drummer Fredrik Linden. The group debuted with a five-song demo in 1988, rumored to have been issued in as little as 30 copies, before—having secured Joacim Persson (guitar) and Gustaf Ljungström (bass)—recording the four-song Hang-Over demo at Eagle One Studios in 1989. One track from Hang-Over, "Etanolic Intoxication," appeared on a four-way split 7" with Appendix, Nirvana 2002, and Authorize the following year; after which—with new bassist Matte Hedenborg in tow—the quartet returned to Eagle One to track a seven-song EP, which they self-released on 12" vinyl in 1991.

The Burning Circle and Then Dust is Lycia’s fourth studio recording, originally released on double CD via Projekt Records in 1995. Save for a small CD re-release in 2006 by Silber Records, the album has never been reissued since. It is hence with great pride that here at Avantgarde Music we officially announce a new edition of one of Lycia’s masterworks from the ‘90s, due out on 2CD as well as triple LP, making this the first Burning Circle vinyl release ever.
Mike VanPortfleet himself commented: “After several years of doing more synth oriented material I wanted a return to my guitar roots (in particular English post punk and 4AD). Lycia started as a guitar based band and I wanted to reaffirm that with disc one, which was originally going to be the release. I was also listening to a lot of shoegaze then, which inspired a return of making the guitars, as opposed to the synths, the focal point of the atmospherics.”.
Many things have been said about the album along the last twentyeight years, and the band chose the following to describe the record.
Per Projekt.com. - The Burning Circle And Then Dust was a groundbreaking point in Lycia’s career. It marked a shift from more atmospheric music towards song-oriented music with tracks like “Pray” & “Slip Away.” It marked the first collaborations between Mike VanPortfleet & Lycia members David Galas & Tara Vanflower. It marked the transformation of Lycia into a honed out live touring machine.
Per Pandamonium Magazine via Projekt.com. - Moving back into more formal song structures, Burning Circle returns to true song-writing, and places equal emphasis on guitar as the electronics. However, the music is as intense and powerful as ever, conjuring up vast vistas of soundscapes which are captured in delicate webs of song and structure. Songs like “Pray” are positively dance friendly, while others find Lycia moving towards the fertile ground of darkpop. breathtaking in scope and beauty, exultant in vision, exhilarating in sensory delight. Lycia have arrived.
Per Ned Raggett of AllMusic - a high point of American dark rock and the band's greatest and most ambitious work.

Second album by Yorkshire’s White Medal. “Lyke Wake” features 9 new tracks recorded in 2015. The new songs follow on from “Guthmers Hahl” (2013) in terms of song writing and over all feeling but with a more refined sound. All lyrics in Yorkshire dialect with very personal themes of graft, death, grief, loss and paganism.
The Clearing Path is a very young and talented solo-artist recording project. 'Watershed...' was initially released only as digital, and benefits of a promotional campaign conducted by Earsplit PR, receiving a lot of web-media consensus.
It's bleak, noisy, extremely emotional, but listening to it is so easy that you won't realize you are giving it a 3rd spin in two hours without getting bored. It appeals to a wide range of extreme music fans, from black metal to Neurosis and Pelican

"This what I call imagination and talent employed to produce true art. I have chills from that song and it is followed up “Curse”, a hymn filled with almost nothing but black voices, gasps, growls, hissing, vomit-like emanations, ghost-like screams of anguish – this album is a journey I assure you. I am mentally exhausted. A brilliant release that takes many elements you have heard, many you have not and combines them in a unique way that makes this record an absolute must own."
Sebastian Montesi is a prolific artist, probably best known for his endeavors in Mitochondrion and for being one of the founding members of Auroch.
With Saturn’s Cross, the Canadian took a very different path, delving into cold wave territories, which little have to share with the bands he is usually associated to. Yet, when we listened to what Sebastian crafted, we had no doubt, and we gladly welcomed this new project to our roster. With neither hope nor fear, Saturn’s Cross unveils Cheat Death. Now operating as a two piece, with 1908 entering the fold on bass and
vocals, Cheat Death disregards genre with wild abandon in favour of something that is at times overwhelmingly abrasive and at others intoxicating.
This is a willing exploration of the endless labyrinth and a lamp of pitch black glass intended to serve as a beacon in the lightless depths of the human spirit. This is a headlong dive into the soul's psychic darkness, with nothing to break the fall. This ushers in a new era Saturn's Cross.

The second chapter of the band's tetralogy examining the malign episodes of this past century.
'Render Unto Eden' is an altogether more somber record: here do Panzerfaust more fully work with light and shade, their darkness displaying far more hues than previously deemed imaginable. Whereas the five-song first chapter was taut 'n' terrorizing, The Suns of Perdition II likewise features five songs but in a more expansive 44-minute runtime. As such, massive vistas of molten melancholy unfold, the inexorable push-and-pull patient but persistent; layers upon layers of understanding are packed into each of these scintillating minutes. The violence is more carefully doled out, in kind, and the sum effect is nothing short of hypnotic. The Suns of Perdition II: Render Unto Eden echoes within the mind and spirit long after the record's over...
Produced and mixed by Greg Dawson at BWC Studios in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, the album was mastered by Sergei Lazar at CDM Records Studio in Moscow, Russia.
The track "Promethean Fire" features guest vocals from Maria Arkhipova of Russia's Arkona.
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.

Five sonic vessels form the nucleus of 'Crepuscule Natura', and within it`s 41 minutes, the record easily creates a sonic and aesthetic bridge between the band`s debut, 'Devoid of Light' (2016), and their sophomore effort 'Cult of a Dying Sun' (2018), only to forge onward upon the relentless path set forth with 'Djinn' (2020). Here, a more refined and muscular, yet no less melodic stronghold awaits. On 'Crepuscule Natura', UADA provides all their memorable hooks, tasteful leads, and riding blasts in their distinct style, balancing their epic surging melodies with powerful spurts of aggression. Just like the band's smoke-heavy shows, the momentum and emphasis of their craft always stays grandiose, mythical, and triumphant – all the while making sure to birth a couple of new fan favorites and soon-to-be staple live songs.
'Crepuscule Natura', once again graced by the artwork of legendary Kris Verwimp and photo work by Peter Beste Photography, shows UADA on fire to unleash the marrow of black heavy metal.

The artwork for the 1xCD is misprinted; it is the same as the 2xCD version, and so incorrectly lists the second disc included in the 2xCD version and featuring the extra track, "Helio)))sophist." The track is also (incorrectly) referred to in the liner notes below.
Limited to 2000 copies. This version include a second CD of live recordings.
'Solstitium Fulminate' Live at Roskilde 0705
German PRAG 83 delivers mellow, sublime and dark alternate folk – rugged to the bone and close to earth. Musically unique with elements that reminds of the Katatonia´s ”Discouraged ones” era but also not far away from the works by the northern woodsmen of Lönndom
Katla is an Icelandic band featuring ex-Sólstafir drummer and visual artist Guðmundur Óli Pálmason and singer/multi-instrumentalist Einar Thorberg Guðmundsson (Fortíð, Potentiam). Named in tribute to one of Iceland's greatest active volcanos, Katla creates powerful, panoramic music where shimmering guitars, crushing melodies and atmospheric density meet dark, entrancing power.
Katla's debut album, "Móðurástin", shines a spotlight on the band's hook-heavy, horizon-stretching sound. The lyrics tell tales of living in a country of contrasts; a land where fire and ice co-exist and dark winters are offset by the summer's midnight sun. Iceland: a country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture.
"Móðurástin", Icelandic for (a) Mother's Love, might seem like a strange title for a metal album, but Katla dares to be different. What on Earth is stronger than a mother's love? Nothing. Not hate, not lust, not greed.
