Back in stock - Extreme Metal and Dark music
DEINONYCHUS represent the sound of Apocalypse, a real Dark trip towards the end of light and hope. You will live a dangerous weapon, so nihilistic and dark that even the sunnest summer day will become a grey post-nuclear night.
The flickering light of fragile hope battles the crushing weight of despair in Fields of Mildew’s fourth release, “IV”. With its signature minimalist dark folk, the project delves into the innermost recesses of human emotion, offering an unflinching reflection on loss, resilience, and the stark beauty of barren landscapes.
On “IV”, Fields of Mildew shifts its focus inward, exploring the fragmented psyche of a solitary soul caught between the oppressive weight of reality and fleeting moments of imagined relief. Themes of love and loss, fragile dreams, and the slow erosion of hope thread through the album, painting a harrowing yet tender portrait of inner struggle.
Amidst the sorrow, glimmers of solace emerge as the music itself offers moments of reprieve. Immersive melodies are shaped by the same austere minimalism that defines the project’s essence – from its stripped-down instrumentation to its visual aesthetic, inspired by the desolate Teufelsmoor region of Northern Germany.
Since its inception in 2015, Fields of Mildew has stood as a testament to the human spirit pushed to its limits. Helmed by a musician known only as R, the project began as an ode to the resilient souls who eked out a living in the unforgiving lands of the Teufelsmoor. Over time, its thematic scope expanded, but the core remained unchanged: an unflinching portrayal of human existence in its most vulnerable and honest form.
“IV” is the culmination of this evolution – a quiet yet powerful meditation on despair, resilience, and the fleeting beauty found even in life’s harshest moments. For those seeking music that channels the depth of mortal experience with haunting clarity, “IV” is a profoundly moving journey into darkness and beyond.

On his debut album "Sovereign", Scottish musician and songwriter Tom Perrett set out to compose music purely to taste. Drawing from the vast well of history, culture and mythology, Tom created an unmistakable atmosphere of proud and powerful Scottish Black Metal with the beating heart of old school Black Metal favourites of his, such as WINDIR, BATHORY, BURZUM & more, which should also appeal to fans of SAOR, WINTERFYLLETH, PANOPTICON and similar acts.

Dark and twisted Death Metal in the vein of early SENTENCED, early AMORPHIS, CONVULSE, DEMIGOD, PURTENANCE, DEMILICH and ABHORRENCE. Hailing from Lahti, Finland, the band formed in 1987 and released the material featured on this compilation before taking a 14-year hiatus beginning in 1994. Founding member Janne Kosonen and his brother Tero reformed NECROPSY in 2008 and are still active today.
Tomb of the Forgotten (The Complete Demo Recordings 1989-1993), originally released by Century Media in 2013, is the first ever official demo compilation fully authorised by the band and features all of NECROPSY's early recordings with 40 tracks in total.

Svart Records proudly present the Black- and Doom Metal pioneers Unholy’s compilation of early material – Demology out on July 19th
“Unholy are arguably the most original, avant-garde, definitive, and important Finnish extreme metal band. The paths they have walked have always been lonely and unknown, entering to the deepest celestial forests and psychic graveyards, and the treasures found there dark and exquisite. This compilation consists of their three legendary demos, of which Trip to Depressive Autumn is the best recording ever done in Finland, of any genre or style”.
- Albert Witchfinder, Reverend Bizarre
Svart Records is set to release the compilation album “Demology” by Finnish avant-garde death doom metal band Unholy. Including their early demo recordings "The Procession of Black Doom" (1990), "Demo 11.90" (1990) and "Trip to Depressive Autumn" (1992), this is the first time these demos are in the same package with exclusive liner notes.
Unholy emerged from the eastern Finnish town of Imatra in the late '80s. After changing their name from Armageddon to Holy Hell and eventually to Unholy, their mission was simple; to create harder, heavier, and slower music than their idols Black Sabbath and Celtic Frost. The lyrical themes and ideas for the songs came from Satanism, mysticism, anti-Christianity, mushroom trips, and shamanism among others. Finnish deep ecologist Pentti Linkola also inspired the band and their music. Some of the songs came up naturally by jamming riffs and others entirely by improvisation.
While the first two demos already made Unholy a force to be reckoned with, the release of “Trip to Depressive Autumn” caught the attention of the underground metal scene and various labels. The band was hungry for a recording contract, and it finally came into realization when Lethal Records released their debut album “From the Shadows” in 1993.
“Demology”, mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios, is out on July 19th. Available formats include the Svart exclusive 2LP black/white marble vinyl, 2LP limited transparent red vinyl, 2LP classic black vinyl, and the 2CD edition.
