Until 2016, very few people had access to the original version of CRADLE OF FILTH follow-up to their hugely successful debut album The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh.
Entangled in legal problems with their former label and with few of their key members about to jump ship to form THE BLOOD DIVINE, this recording was seemingly doomed to fail. It thus remained locked up in the vault for over twenty-one years, the band having decided ultimately to shelve it and quickly record and release the V Empire, Dark Faerytales In Phallustein EP instead, before committing to tape another version of this album with a revamped line-up and new arrangements.

Having heard the fans’ plea, Dani Filth finally agreed to issue it officially for the first time in 2016 after remastering it with the help of famed producer and longtime collaborator Scott Atkins (AMON AMARTH, VADER, GAMA BOMB, BENEDICTION).

Luxurious hardcover digibook-CD with 24-page booklet.
New liner-notes by Olivier ‘Zoltar’ Badin.

This is where it all began, the 1994 debut which shook the European Black Metal scene upon its foundations.
Originally released on cult imprint Cacophonous Records, CRADLE OF FILTH first album is now available for the first time over a decade on noble vinyl but also on picture vinyl, digibook-CD and tape.

While still bearing few traces of their Death Metal roots, The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh remains an unique sounding album to this day, drenched in gothic atmospheres and vampiric themes. A true masterpiece which immediately spawned many imitators, although none managed to match their intensity and undeniable British flair.

Pure cult!

After MASTER’S HAMMER performed the last show in support of the album Fascinator in 2018, it seemed that the Czech legend’s story had finally come to a close for good. But luckily instead of having been laid to rest, the band only went into hibernation and is now back with a new album after 7 years!

Never the least concerned with fitting in, MASTER’S HAMMER refusal to be confined to certain genres and play by anybody’s rules, has resulted in many highly original albums that defied categorization. Unsurprisingly, “Maldorör Disco”, the band’s ninth album, follows in this direction and is yet another bold release by MASTER’S HAMMER, showcasing the group’s commitment to pushing boundaries. Although “Maldorör Disco” is still unmistakenly MASTER’S HAMMER it’s probably their most experimental and least Black Metal sounding album to date.

The album’s 10 tracks are composed mostly in “dancing” 130bpm tempo. Franta admitted that he danced while songwriting, and so did the other members, including Kamil Princ – the author of the keyboard solos. Honza Kapák’s drums are perhaps the best ever played on MH records, and we’re very happy to see (and hear) Mr. Necrocock again!

Besides the masterfully composed synthesizers and keyboards, the multiple voices appearing throughout the album and the way they are arranged play a pivotal role in “Maldorör Disco” too.
The visual presentation of the album deserves a special mention; Franta has again come up with some beautifully bizarre artworks. Marvelling at these surreal masterpieces and reading the disturbingly amusing lyrics while listening to the music is the right way to experience this album.
Listeners who enjoyed MASTER’S HAMMER’s previous efforts or who have a soft spot for the theatrical and unconventional in general, will find plenty to relish on “Maldorör Disco”. It’s an album that rewards attentive, adventurous listeners, delivering a journey that is as confounding as it is exhilarating. “Maldorör Disco” stands as a testament to MASTER’S HAMMER’S relentless drive to innovate and push forward with total disregard for conventions or expectations.

Naglfar have an high quality of their recordings, this is the fifth album by those Swedes, and are here again be able to keep up to their high recording standards of the previous albums and if their music would still reek of hatred, evil and suffering.

Naglfar is one of those bands that can effortlessly mix raw energy of black metal that we know from their first al- bums with the elements of melodic death metal introduced in their later releases.

This mix makes their songs memorable to a point that you can recognize them from the first riffs.
Traditionally of course, intensity mixes with atmospheric slower parts, melodic touches intertwine with ultra fast brutality, and in all that, solos, parts of keyboards or piano are thrown into as if into a twister of sickening sound.

Musically, the whole band shows us solid compositional skills, supported by technical in- strumentality and respectable experience.
Christopher Olivius spits out wicked lyrics, he sang with such passion and malice, that vocals added an extra level of brutality, vocals are very strong and solid.
Harvest is an inspired, interesting and originally diverse piece of work.

The Cold White Light is widely regarded as Sentenced’s masterpiece and one of the most iconic albums to emerge from the Finnish metal scene. Released in 2002, the album represents the perfect synthesis of melodic metal, gothic darkness, and crushing emotional weight.

Here, Sentenced refine their sound into something stark, direct, and devastatingly effective-mid-tempo riffs drenched in melancholy, memorable and somber melodies, and a sense of cold introspection that permeates every track.

Ville Laihiala’s vocal performance is raw, expressive, and deeply human, delivering themes of despair, loss, isolation, and existential struggle with haunting sincerity. Presented in the classic jewel case CD format, this edition of The Cold White Light captures the album in its definitive form, preserving the bleak atmosphere and emotional intensity that have made it a timeless reference in gothic and melodic metal. The record unfolds with a powerful sense of cohesion, moving effortlessly between heavy, crushing moments and melancholic, almost fragile passages.

Songs like “No One There”, “Brief In The light” and ”Konevitsan Kirkonkellot” have become genre-defining anthems, while the album as a whole stands as a deeply immersive listening experience. The Cold White Light is a cold, honest, and uncompromising emotional journey, cementing Sentenced’s legacy as one of the most influential and emotionally resonant metal bands of their era.

Frozen is a pivotal album in Sentenced’s evolution, marking the moment where the band fully embraced a darker, more melodic, and emotionally charged direction.

Originally released in 1998, this record represents a turning point away from their early death metal roots and toward the melancholic gothic metal sound that would later define their legacy. Cold, heavy riffs, mournful melodies, and a pervasive sense of isolation and despair dominate the album, creating an atmosphere that is both bleak and hauntingly beautiful. Ville Laihiala’s vocals, raw and expressive, convey anguish and resignation with striking authenticity, giving the songs a deeply personal and immersive emotional weight.

Issued on CD in the classic jewel case format, Frozen stands as one of Sentenced’s most influential and enduring releases. The album flows with a somber elegance, balancing crushing heaviness with moments of fragile melody and introspective calm. Tracks like “Kaamos” “For the Love I Bear” and “Mourn” highlight the band’s gift for crafting unforgettable, sorrow-laden songs that linger long after the music fades.

Frozen is a bleak emotional landscape, a soundtrack to loss and introspection, and a cornerstone of late ’90s gothic metal that continues to resonate with listeners seeking depth, darkness, and sincerity.
