Back in stock - Extreme Metal and Dark music
New EP from the mysterious USBM entity named Uthullun. Crossing through "The Barbed Thread of Madness", the listener is taken through the anguished and solivagant embodiment of dissonance and a psychoactive cathartic journey beyond gehennah and oblivion.

4 Panel Digipak with 8 pages FOLD OUT booklet
For explanation: Because licence of the old record is not completely Ellendes, and additionally, all recordings were deleted by the former recording studio this is the only way that this album can be released again as a full re-recorded reinterpretation. Realized together with Markus Stock and Klangschmiede Studio E in 2023-2024. In our opinion this record hits the nail on the head. Packed with recent vitality and executed with refined abilities while also staying true to the atmosphere and devastation created in 2016.
THE GREAT SEA was founded in 2022 by JR (Long Distance Calling) and SH (Ordeal & Plight) with the ambition to create an atmosphere that can keep up with the majesty of the mountains and the horrible depths of the seas, with a glimpse into the never ending darkness that is behind and before us.
“We always wanted to create a feeling, where you can experience nature and find yourself within it.”, states guitarist SH. “There is a strange and unbelievable beautiful sensation when you combine these tunes, with the reality of natures infinite powers.”
To give the sound what it deserves, they invited Phil Jonas (Crone, ex-Secrets Of The Moon) and Azathoth (Gràb, ex-Dark Fortress) to leave their mark on this record, creating a connection between this world and spheres that can never be spoken of. Both songs are integrated to the rest of the record with maximum black glue, giving the listener the experience of deep current.
Jewelcase CD
Two years after their sophomore “Cosmic Terror”, Germany’s THE SPIRIT once again delve into the vast nothingness of the universe, while capturing the fear of the unknown and humanity’s insignificance within our cosmos in their sound. On their upcoming third offering, “Of Clarity and Galactic Structures”, the duo, consisting of Matthias Trautes (vocals, guitars, bass) and Manuel Steitz (drums), hold on to their black/death metal roots yet take the progressive elements to a whole new level. Whilst the predecessor from 2019 already contained some prog elements, the brain twisting rhythm changes and virtuosic instrumental performance became an essential part of the band’s universe.
Once again recorded and mixed at the Woodshed Studio, Germany by V. Santura (with the drums being tracked at Iguana Studios by Christoph Brandes), THE SPIRIT’s lyrics usually mix a general misanthropic view on the world with cosmic metaphors and the call to see our often narrow-minded and egocentric existence in the larger context of our whole universe, where none of our daily struggles and vanities ever matter. To distance oneself from this attitude and see the bigger picture can often lead to new clarity, and this thought inspired the album title.
