Carved from the cold marrow of Norway’s enigmatic and revered black metal scene, GAAHLS WYRD conjure a spellbinding fusion of chaos and beauty. Under the commanding presence of Kristian “Gaahl” Espedal, the band carve a sweeping saga of sound - both primal and transcended.
With ‘Braiding the Stories’, GAAHLS WYRD embark on an alchemical journey through the realms of consciousness and dreams, crafting a sonic narrative that explores the seamless dance between the seen and the unseen. Each track is a profound exploration of reality's veils, crystallizing the ephemeral through the powerful conjunction of philosophical introspection and audacious musical composition. From the haunting echoes of "The Dream Master" to the ethereal resonance of "Flowing Starlight," the album invites the listener to traverse its labyrinthine soundscapes - a place where reflective melodies intersect with visceral power. In this realm, GAAHLS WYRD channels raw lyrical introspection and potent sonic prowess, guided by the adept hands of Ole "Lust Kilman" Walaunet, Andreas "Nekroman" Salbu, and Kevin "Spektre" Kvåle.
At the heart of the album lies a journey of self-discovery, one that resonates with the timeless voice of Gaahl, inviting listeners to not merely hear, but to experience, to reflect, and transcend.

When Gaerea emerged out of pandemic limbo, the masked band came branded with a vision of black metal that was guided not by myths or pagan beliefs but a purging of emotion. The world quickly came to share that vision, following them from the gates of Hellfest to tours through China and the U.S.
But with ‘Coma’, Gaerea are no longer strictly black metal. Though once again produced by trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, their fourth album broadens their signature sound by taking it in two seemingly opposed directions. There are more moments of intense beauty, but they only heighten the ensuing blows.
“World Ablaze” ignited this new era of Gaerea by holding a more conventional song structure over fiery tremolo picking. “Hope Shatters” upends even the loftiest of fan expectations; after the song collapses under its blistering heaviness, the melody hangs perilously in the air, like a swaying chandelier, before it’s smashed to pieces by hammering bass and concussive blast beats. “I’ve known faces within me”, their unnamed vocalist cries in the wake of a slow and somber guitar solo before “Unknown” snaps into a razor-sharp hook. “I transform with every passing moment”.
With ‘Coma’, Gaerea surface to the top of extreme metal.

While writing their upcoming album (due later this year), Remina ended up with three songs that no longer fit the album's themes as it began to take shape. Rather than let these songs become lost in the ether, these were gathered in a brand new ep, "Erebus".

Initially released digitally only in June 2024, the ep found a huge success and pushing us to offer the band a one-off only edition on vinyl and cd.

Icy winds and solitary woods - the debut of one man project Skuggor.

"Where Sun Resigns" is the third album of ambient black metal band Skuggor. An evocative exploration of shadowy forests, hypnotic introspection, and the profound sorrow of fading light. Immersing listeners in a soundscape of melancholic melodies and raw intensity, the album weaves themes of meditation and darkness into an ethereal sonic journey that captures the essence of nature's mystique. From haunting riffs to immersive ambient passages, "Where Sun Resigns" invites the listener to embrace the beauty in sorrow and find solace in the depths of shadow.

Morning Star finds Këkht Aräkh arriving at a truer, more refined version of himself. Recorded between Berlin and Stockholm, the album emerges from a period of intense personal and artistic growth, blending aggressive black metal passages with immersive, textured soundscapes that feel both intimate and vast. 

Julinko, stage name for Giulia Parin Zecchin, has long been one of the best kept secrets of the experimental community in North-East Italy, with three records that helped define her unique blend of heavy psychedelia, slowcore and dark ambient. On ‘Naebula’ what really stands out is how powerful and soaring her voice is, a weapon of undeniable force that can transform into a vessel of raw fervour or glide effortlessly as a delicate lament. Her unconventional approach shines through on tracks like ‘Jeanne De Rien’, where a marching pulse acts as a pillar for an extended mantra, almost verging into powwow territory. ‘Peace Of The Unsaid’ uses its arrhythmical structure to create space, a crepuscular night ode that reaches the heights of Sinead O’Connor’s most intimate force-fulness while retaining a sweet composure. Whether it’s glacial murderous shrieks or gospel-esque vitality, songs like ‘Cloudmachine’ or ‘Kiss The Lion’s Tongue’ seem to draw as much from a tradition of European minimalism, the use of drones and repetition, to the tradition of folksongs as hymns, where modal harmonies make way for an apparent stasis. Another key element in Julinko’s songwriting is the seamless blend of her minimalistic approach with these dense textures borrowed from a distant outsider metal heritage, Lynchean noir on steroids or wordless exorcisms with deep undercurrents.  

Written and performed entirely by Julinko, ‘Naebula’‘s incantations unravel and spiral creating the perfect soundtrack for obsession, desire and contemplation, a world inhabited by greats like Meredith Monk, Diamanda Galás and Jarboe, diverse artists all driven by the quest for the purest and most crystalline form of catharsis.

In 2026—marking the 40th anniversary of their original formation under the name Black Death—the legendary Norwegian duo Darkthrone, comprised of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto, returns with a new high-caliber opus devoted to old metal, under the banner of “Pre-Historic Metal.”

Pre-Historic Metal features eight tracks shaped by primordial epics and colossal riffs, driven by an organic sound infused with the ever-present spirit of the ’70s and ’80s. It stands as a worthy continuation of the mastery already showcased in It Beckons Us All (2024). This new chapter unfolds as a vast odyssey through the sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy, and Doom Metal. Enhanced by punishing, aggressive guitar work, Darkthrone blend a cauldron of wild creativity with a nod to the songwriting methods that defined their late-’80s beginnings—now delivered with a more refined craftsmanship.

This edition of Pre-Historic Metal is available in multiple formats: CD in jewel case with a 12-page booklet, standard black vinyl, limited edition purple marble vinyl, and a deluxe limited box set. The box set includes an exclusive 180g splatter vinyl with gatefold sleeve and alternative artwork by Maciej Kamuda, an exclusive cassette edition, a CD version, a booklet featuring an interview with Harald Fossberg on the making of Pre-Historic Metal, and two posters.
