Back in stock - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Herzogian Darkness is a shadowy plunge into strange, shapeshifting depths. It is recognizably black metal by sound and vision - and, more or less, by name - but the febrile sensations these mysterious Poles emit elude safe 'n' staid categorization. Not for nothing do MEDICO PESTE here transform Bauhaus' classic "Stigmata Martyr" into one of their own, idiosyncratic creations.

Switzerland's practitioners of alchemical madness return with their sophomore full-length, "Blut, Milch und Thränen", presenting a concoction of truly mesmerizing sonic movements.
The music contained on "Blut, Milch und Thränen" was recorded somewhat unconventionally as two separate tracks, which were subdivided into several movements to correspond with the album's gripping narrative. With regard to this narrative, Kvelgeyst recounts the tale of an alchemist, beset by visions that leads him to search for an adept who in turn shall serve as the victim in a sinister ritual, hoping to achieve unio mystica. Initially, he is pleased, as he discovers an adept soon enough in the gutters. Regrettably for him, however, he is finally confronted with the realization that he has fatally misinterpreted his visions, and it is not he who sacrifices the adept in his pursuit of revelation, but rather he must serve as the sacrificial lamb in ritual slaughter, thus enabling the adept to achieve unio mystica. This, in turn, drives the adept into utter madness, rendering him free of all his senses and forcing him to the gutters from whence he emerged.

UNTO OTHERS first full-length album back in print! "MANA" conjures up an
emotive 40-minute ride into the realms of heavy metal, new wave, goth
rock, and continues to solidify the band's unique brand of heavy music.
Artwork by Adam Burke.
The rituals on "Ritual Music For The True Clochard" were previously released under different formats in close cooperation with various bands and labels. Thanks to Herr Deportator for his insane efforts to mix and master them very thoroughly the Urfaust way and compile them to a homogene full length.

ROBUST performs intoxicating Black Metal with pure Will, passion and Dedication. This album might possibly be the record you never knew you needed, an album so unpredictable and maddening that you don’t know wether you just heard the most beautiful piece of art, or an atrocity of dimensions unknown. In an age where everything's ‘perfect’; where production and musicianship has reached levels unheard of due to modern technology, providing platforms for even the most average musician to excel, this album is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise soulless scene.
ROBUST delivers a raw and harsh, yet elegant and masterfully composed album, with indescribable twists and turns. Without too much explanation, I would recommend this to fans of SVEST , AKITSA and the three first GORGOROTH albums. That pretty much sums it up.
New album for this Russian one man band!
Astonishing mass anticipation created by a few reviews on the web and already stated as one of 2014’s album of the year by influential websites like invisibleoranges and stereogum.

Building upon the symphonic Black Metal stylings of their masterful 2022 debut "The Ashen Abhorrence", enigmatic Finnish duo PESTILENT HEX return with second opus, "Sorceries of Sanguine & Shadow", to herald a new era of malevolent grandeur and melodic aggression.
The work of multi-instrumentalist L. Oathe (DESOLATE SHRINE, CONVOCATION, ORDINANCE) and vocalist/lyricist M. Malignant (CORPSESSED, TYRANNY, PROFETUS), "Sorceries of Sanguine & Shadow" is still primarily inspired by legendary '90s second wave Black Metal but diverges from the neoclassical and baroque undertones of the debut into more contemporary, complex and exquisitely labyrinthine realms.
"Stella Pandora", the impassioned and anthemic 8th album from ARKONA, finds the formidable Polish Black Metal pioneers supremely focused, superbly intense and aflame with melodic vigour.
Since their 1993 formation ARKONA have progressively fine-tuned and elevated their sound, and this follow-up to 2019’s acclaimed "Age of Capricorn" advances the band further still, as they imbue each phrase with a sense of existential yearning - a wistful awareness of the past dying inside the present
"Il Sentiero Dimenticato" è il nuovo album di Svart, che vede la luce il 23 Settembre 2019 in anteprima assoluta sul canale Bandcamp della label MASD RECORDS e prossimamente su tutti i digital store e in una speciale edizione fisica in digisleeve a 6 ante, limitato a 200 copie numerate.
L'album è stato composto tra il 1998 e il 2018 e registrato nell'inverno 2017/2018. Il processo di mix e master è realizzato presso i K.Recordings di Verona.
"Il Sentiero Dimenticato" ha un significato molto speciale per l'artista Svart, ripercorre 20 anni di esperienze musicali e vuole essere un omaggio alla scena symphonic black metal degli anni 90, in particolar modo a quella scandinava.
La maggior parte delle parti di tastiera risalgono a 20 anni fa, infuenzato da gruppi dell'epoca come Emperor, Limbonic Art, Godkiller, Kvist, Arcturus, Satyricon e molti altri. A distanza di 20 anni ritrova su polverosi floppy disk una gran quantità di materiale registrato all'epoca e decide di riarrangiarlo con l'aggiunta di chitarre, basso, batteria e voci.
SPECIAL GUEST VOCALIST:
-Davide Maria Semeraro (Mistigma, Nespithe, Xes Aeon, Medjugore)
-Valand (Luce d'Inverno)
-Lord Sinister (Afraid of Destiny, Solitude Project)
-Kejvin (Namtaru)
-Massemord (Esequiem, ex-Satanel)
-Loris Lord Vona (Khephra, Speculum Mortis)

Though they came together from far corners of the Nordic underground, Night Shall Drape Us are united by blood and an unwavering spirit for fast, melodic, uncompromising black metal.
Their debut album features eight perfectly executed hymns sung by a relentless choir of lunatics. ‘Lunatic Choir’ offers fast blast beats together with raw yet melodic traditional black metal riffs.
“One with the beasts of the black flame”, the band chant in dedication during "Under the Dead Sky", giving themselves into the arms of Holy Death.
For fans of CRAFT, MGLA, DØDHEIMSGARD, SATYRICON, DISSECTION.
