From moniker to visual aesthetic and especially to the sonics themselves, HERALDIC BLAZE are encapsulating the oft-nebulous "medieval black metal" idiom with startling aplomb. While it's often difficult to discern exactly what medieval BM is other than a pithy "I know it when I hear it," HERALDIC BLAZE leave no doubt as to their intentions.

Witness their debut demo, Blazoned Heraldry. The duo of American multi-instrumentalist Argent Pale (vocals, bass, flute) and Norwegian guitarist Peregrinus (HJEMSØKT, SOLUS GRIEF, KVAD, UNHOLY CRAFT) create a spellbinding tapestry of rustic tones and textures. In fact, on texture alone - kinda clean and clanging, yet with more than a hint of ghostly grit and almost surfy reverb - HERALDIC BLAZE stand out, but it's how they utilize those textures in the service of songwriting: winding and wild, frothing up to an almost-dangerous delirium, but more often than not leaving wide-open spaces to let their medieval melodicism bend and sway with bravado and bittersweetness. And as actual flute flutters in from time to time, the sum effect, more often than not, is ALIEN - unsettling and alluring in equal measure.

While "merely" a demo recording, HERALDIC BLAZE's first work already trounces most modern works of "black metal." Unorthodox and unbound, Blazoned Heraldry is mandatory listening for fans of Sühnopfer, Ungfell, Grylle, Heltekvad, and particularly mid-2000s Peste Noire.

Clear vinyl in gatefold cover limited to 1200 copies.

The black metal year 2024 starts with a bang. The new Inquisiton album entitled Veneration Of Medieval Mysticism And Cosmological Violence will be released in January.

Exactly 8 years after June 2010's 'The Grave of Civilization' Void of Silence are back with a brand new album.
Although still based on the classic Conforti/Zara line-up core, the new album features again a new lead vocalist (Luca Soi, of Arcana Coelestia and Visthia past).

“Gnosis” is the second part in a series of shorter and more experimental releases that SPECTRAL LORE has undertaken for 2015, each focusing on a specific style, as opposed to a regular SL fulllength, which is a collection of several kinds of music. The album was born out of the idea of experimenting with oriental music, using metal instrumentation.
It was decided by Ayloss not to formally study the music beforehand, but to invoke an unconscious remembrance of it, in order to get it out distorted and mixed with the elements of metal and western scales.
 

LIH need no introductions: they have proven to be always ahead of their time, and have done so time and time again since the initial inception in 2001, still being one of the best avantgarde black metal band within Italian scene.
Expect everything we have all come to love about LIH: incredibly inventive Black Metal with a unique vision and an unmatched delivery, a penchant for sophistication and experimentalism in its truest form, slaying and cold guitar riffs, outstanding lyrics, impeccable drumming and their signature fretless bass
The LIH formula blends the solemnity and exaltation of late Spite Extreme Wings with the technical complexity and dynamism of acts such as Ved Bues Ende and Deathspell Omega.
 

Following the reissue of the 2021 EP “I Fall With The Saints” and after their appreciated latest album “Fanciulli D’Occidente” (released in 2024 by our friends at Dusktone), the italian Avantgarde Black Metal outfit LAETITIA IN HOLOCAUST comes back with a new short but yet ambitous work, titled “I Rise With The Dead”.

Although featuring only two tracks, LAETITIA IN HOLOCAUST felt the need to tackle the composition of a 12-minutes long, atmospheric and wide-ranging piece – “Gioia e Pianto alle Teste dei Leoni” – trying to maintain the same intensity and ferocity of the latest album, although broaden its spectrum by creating more persistent and less rapidly changing musical scenarios.
