Cryptopsy continues to be a leader when it comes to extreme Death Metal and this new EP is their latest delivery to completely wreck everything in their way!

As a follow up to their 2015 EP, "The Book of Suffering - Tome I", Cryptopsy will be releasing the next instalment, Tome II, in the fall of 2018. "The Book of Suffering - Tome II" was produced, mixed and mastered by, Cryptopsy’s guitarist, Chris Donaldson at The Grid studio in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Cryptopsy states, "The Book of Suffering - Tome II" is some of the most intense, gnarly, brutal yet organic material we have written to date.”

What we have here is what I would call a mixture of "Whisper Supremacy" with "And Then You’ll Beg", and that’s a very fine place to be for Cryptopsy. Back are the frenzied, seemingly out of control guitars, manic drumming, excellent bass playing and dare I say it... really good vocals.

Boréalys is a black metal project formed in northern Québec (in Abitibi). It was around 2015 that Abstrus (ex-Brumes) gave birth to the first guitar riffs, which will eventually serve the EP "Là où les eaux se séparent" (label: Winter Sky/Les Fleurs du Mal/ Non Posse Mori, recorded in the ''Black Amp Studio'' and ''Dans l'Antre'') and the first album "L'héritage" (label: Northern Silence Productions, recorded in the ''Black Amp Studio'' and ''Dans l'Antre''). Somewhere in 2018, Julius (from Black Empire) joined the project for the drums, and later K. (from Wendess) for bass and mix/mastering. In 2020 K. left the band and it is Abstrus who took over the bass for the album "L' héritage", now making Boréalys, a duo.

Only in French, Boréalys is rooted in its history, these tales, and these legends of its terroir. In a defined atmosphere that tells you the memories and customs of their past, the wounds and efforts of their ancestors who colonized this land, but also, a feeling of freedom coming from the infinite forests and the many rivers that make it their fortress. In order to pay tribute to its native language, faithful to its Francophone origins, Boréalys is, and will remain, a project only in French. 

In a heavy and melancholic atmosphere, Boréalys draws its influences from the Scandinavia of the '90s and bands such as Drudkh and Abyssic Hate.

Reissue of the band's third release from 1996. Collector's Edition in 4-panel digipack, limited to 500 copies.

Depressive Silence was founded by RAL & B.S. from Mightiest in 1994. The band is one of the cult acts and forerunners of the Dungeon Synth genre alongside Mortiis and Jim Kirkwood.

Back then, the genre wasn’t even called Dungeon Synth yet, and only later got that monicker, probably named after Mortiis’ label Dark Dungeon Music. At first it was just Dark Ambient. Nonetheless it was already something special in that it combined elements from Black Metal (more visually and thematically rather than musically) and fantasy into a new style that appealed to some Black Metal fans as well as those who preferred keyboard music and role playing games. Once the name Dungeon Synth had been established the appeal to (Black) Metal fans became much greater and the genre really took off, with Depressive Silence as one of the most beloved and well known bands of this rapidly growing genre.

Formed as a secretive solo project in 2013 in the Isle of Wight to express feelings of isolation, introspection and esoteric emotions, Ethereal Shroud practices black metal with challenging song structures and lengths. The songs are cinematic, engaging with melodic riffs and hugely atmospheric soundscapes with layers that unravel with close listening, repeating motifs and progressive undertones that revel in subtlety as opposed to showy displays. They show to you only as much as you put in, rewarding you for dedication - created entirely by himself in isolation.

Trisagion continues this trend with more investment in production, more aggression, tighter performances and more emphasis on challenging songwriting. Lyrically focussing on resentment to fascism, esoteric emotions towards a world crumbling to its own cycle of greed and destruction and a response to personal traumas. Trisagion is an unrepenting album that pulls no punches, unforgivingly unaccessible in its presentation that unravels only as much as you're willing to dedicate to it. Joseph Hawker's new vision was assisted by incredible musicians for the first time. This is Black Metal for those who wish to get entirely invested and lost in its deep, introspective layers of resentment and guilt.

The CD will include the bonus track "Lanterns" that is exclusive for physical editions.
