Norwegian viking pagan black metal brigade NIFROST is set to release their new, long-awaited, full length album to the masses
NIFROST already established its own remarkable identity built upon cold and ferocious sounds attack, intense melodies and charging guitars.
Combining unrelenting black metal atmosphere and vision from varying extreme metal genres with a apocalyptic twist of inspiration, careful listeners may just be able to identify themes from some of their stories, concepts and more…
The concept of their third album began with the title “Orkja”, which is the name of a mountain infamous for landslides that turned into murderous floods in the olden days of Jølster, on the wild and beautiful western coast of Norway.
Through these old stories, they found a spark of inspiration in approaching apocalyptic themes in a bigger or on smaller more personal-level picture, both physically and metaphorically.
When the band wrote the album “Orkja” in late 2018, they never knew how fitting these doomsday-themes would come to be in current times. The seven songs that comprise “Orkja”, each have its own connection to the end of things, and to the possibility of new beginnings.
Gli Alberi are an Atmospheric Post-Metal band formed in Turin in 2012. Their lyrics explore themes such as nature, spirituality, environmental issues, and the end of the world. They have released two albums: The Glimpse (2017) and Reinhold (2022); this last one being a concept album about the Messner brothers' ascent of Nanga Parbat.
“Maturafine” is their third record and is a concept album about deserts: the desert as an arid place, but also as a place without man, even if populated by different forms of life. Deserts of prayer, of temptation, of loss—such as the Rub' Al-Khali, the "Empty Quarter" of the world; the Australian desert, with its myths of the Dreamtime; or the Kazakh desert, with its fishing boats lying motionless on the dried-up bed of the Aral Sea. These are ecosystems that we have transformed and plundered, adapting them to our idea of civilization. Over all of them blow the same sands and the same warning: the time is ripe—the end looms over us.
Musically, it is a long journey through various genres such as Doom, Post-Rock, and Blackgaze, in a world where synths and arrangements based on both Rock and Metal take the listener through a meaningful and touching path. Female, male and extreme vocals will be your guides.

Darkness, contemplation, and annihilation.
Prison of Mirrors return with their new mini-album, De Sepulchris Occultis et Igne Profanationis — an offering that sinks its hands into the filth of the sacred and corrupts it with its own blasphemous flame.
A work that is bleak, profound, suffocating, and all-encompassing: a sonic ritual that grants no respite and, like a slow-acting poison, will wound its listeners, consuming both mind and senses.
The new compositions move along the same desolate lines traced by the darkest Blut Aus Nord and Akhlys

APTORIAN DEMON hail from Trondheim, Norway. They were founded by vocalist, guitarist and sole member Storhetsvanviddets Mester, who has also been known as Ghâsh. APTORIAN DEMON embody black metal in its original bleak and raw form. Their mastermind is neither apologetic about this, nor about the hateful, misanthropic, and satanic content. This is what black metal is about. Storhetsvanviddets Mester is a lone wolf, who does not want to be associated with previous bands or the Nidrosian scene. APTORIAN DEMON have previously released the EP "Angst, jammer og fortvilelse" in 2005 and the debut album "Libertus" (2012), which gained the band a dedicated following in the underground. Naturally, there are no social media outlets. APTORIAN DEMON have deigned the time to be right for their sophomore full-length. Entitled "Liv tar slutt" ('Life Ends'), this album keeps every 'promise' of a strong black metal statement made by the previous releases and will delight dark souls with its cold, harsh, and razor-edged songs. This is Norwegian black metal! Take it or leave it!
