Nietzsche's Zarathustra created the mountain beneath him where he could only teach himself. He went down among the people in this infinite joy. But still he returned and plunged into the Gogolian depths of desperation. He left his work to the world, just as Gogol let the dead souls be lost among the flames. Joy and loneliness were both present on the mountain, where Zarathustra finally found nothing but himself.

With their 4th album "Heralds Of Strife", Vallendusk created a triumphant and uplifting album that is more optimistic in approach and delivery than your average Black Metal release.

Skratte was founded as a solo-project by Hevnbrann in 2012 in order to materialize his musical vision. Skratte's words treat hatred, misanthropy and damnation - a lyrical reflection of a world that is devoid of any deity and can only be held in place through the devotion of every single natural spirit.

Inspired by the coldness and brutality of Norwegian Black Metal as well as the characteristic versatility and harmonious playing of the French, Skratte combines the most diverse elements and motives in its distinct sounds, and should especially appeal to fans of Taake, Ungfell, Aaskereia or earlier works of Ulver. With “Akt I – Ein Feuer entfacht”, you will be able to discover a multifarious piece of art for yourself.

'Kingdom of Misery' is a reflection of the world we live in today.

A world drowning in fear, agony, suffering and decay.

A society imprisoned by the deception of their own minds.

Consumed by the falseness of one's own egotistical agenda.

We watch hopelessly as our planet deteriorates before our eyes.

Jord (Swedish for "Earth") is a Swedish Atmospheric Black Metal solo-project with Blackgaze, Post Metal and Post Rock influences. The project's sole member Jörgen Ström has played in various bands (quote: "Everything from Pop to Black Metal.") since the 90s and learned a ton of things from that period of touring and recording albums - experience that eventually led to the founding of his own project Jord.

The debut album, entitled Sol (Swedish for “sun”) is about Jörgen's relation to Mother Earth. Living alone in a small cabin next to the forest and spending most of his free time in the woods when not writing music has had a tremendous influence on him, and through the music and lyrics of Jord that connection between man and nature is expressed.

Collector's Edition in special 10-panel inverted-cross-shaped Digipack, limited to 500 copies.

"Karst Relict" completes the album trilogy of Karst Realm and the path of a nameless hero through its vast nether halls and mountain hollows. Slave to the will of the Tyrant King, the hero slowly comes to his senses as he attempts to uncover the truth to all the inhabitants of the kingdom, that there is a whole world outside the cave they have been living in; that the ruler of this realm is the source of their never-ending misery and grief. The King punishes his former servant with death, unwittingly summoning a violent cataclysm...

Los Males Del Mundo combines today's modern Black Metal sound with late 90's melodic Black Metal, with lyrics deeply influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche, Emil Cioran and A. Schopenhauer.

The band was first created in 2016 as a project between Dany Tee (Acathexis, Downfall of Nur) and Cristian Yans. Nikita Kamprad (Der Weg Einer Freiheit) later joined as a producer and guest musician.

In October 2020 a promotional self-titled EP with two tracks was released through Bandcamp.

Their first full length album, “Descent Towards Death,” containing 5 tracks of 40 minutes length, is an invitation to a conceptual journey, dragging the listener into the darkest and remotest places of the human soul. It reflects an internal battle, expressed as changes between aggressive and furious passages on the one hand, and dense and introspective landscapes full of melancholic melodies on the other.

Re-press, limited to 199 copies on ultra clear vinyl.
