For years something has been stirring in the cauldron of sinister darkness, patiently waiting for the hour to strike, and now the time of
the wolf draws near. Guided by the will of fire, this magical, musical ourney has been skillfully crafted to lead you into the cave of the
numinous, a journey into the very soul of all that is unholy. An aural doorway between the flesh and the soul, a spiritual bridge between the
conscious and the subconscious, handed down from the beast of eternal destruction to its faithful devotees in order to spread its holy poison
upon the world.

Comes as Jewelcase CD version, incl. 12 pages booklet. Limited to 500 copies

Some time ago the final pieces were laid for the collaboration between Orcivus and Flagellant, resulting in a split release, that we hereby proudly present. 

Following a period of silence since 2010, ORCIVUS return in force in unholy collaboration with countrymen FLAGELLANT, whom now follow up on the sophomore album Maledictum released in 2013. 
This split album features four new tracks per band, with a total playtime of 37 minutes with art through the genius hands of Karmazid.

Carried on the brisk wind of eager rock, with foundations in black, thrash, doom and heavy metal, Astral Fortress is the 2022 album of stellar, eclectic old metal from the legendary Darkthrone.

With a seemingly endless dungeon full of heavy metal influences channelled through Darkthrone’s dynamic riff-machine, plus increasing inspirations taken from their own back catalogue, Darkthrone has become very much its own beast within the metal world. Though sprinkled with atmospheric touches, such as synthesisers and mellotron, the Darkthrone sound remains stripped to the core, primitive and organic.

Astral Fortress was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios in Oslo, the same location used for the Eternal Hails album, with Ole Øvstedal and Silje Høgevold.

From their formation back in 1986, to becoming one of Norways’s finest musical exports (with a number of highly revered black metal masterpieces released in the early 1990s helping to solidify their legacy), Darkthrone has continued to evolve and challenge in equal measure, throughout their illustrious recording career spanning over three decades. And now, the ever-productive duo of Nocturno and Fenriz continue their own metallic saga with a new selection of fine, vintage sounding headbanging classics in the making. 

For more than 25 years, the black horde of ENTHRONED (feat. members of NIGHTBRINGER, EMPTINESS) have waged war on the forces of light. 'Cold Black Suns,' their first album in five years, spews forth regal black metal majesty forged in the fire of the genre's early wars. ENTHRONED's ceremonial sacrilege burns unabated and 'Cold Black Suns' is a triumph of unyielding evil.

Includes lyric sheet, A5 post card and poster.
