Horror-aficionados HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY are rousing the undead once again with the sophomore album “The Mortuary Hauntings”!
With a tried-and-true formula of pummeling riffs and mid-paced Death Metal that throbs to herd a wall of zombies, Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, ex-Bone Gnawer, Massacre, etc) and Mike Hrubovcak (ex-Monstrosity, Azure Emote, ex-Vile, etc) cleverly disintegrate and reconstruct their love for Metal and old horror films; fortifying the two genres into an unwavering subculture hallmark but with a stylistic departure on their debut. “The Mortuary Hauntings” continues with the endearing worship of retro-Death Metal and the timeless devotion to cult horror-flicks.
Recorded by HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY with mixing duties shared between Ronnie Björnström at EAP Productions and Håkan Stuvemark at Necrotic Audio Productions with mastering also handled by Håkan Stuvemark. Evocative cover artwork by Columbian illustrator Felipe Mora (Critical Defiance, Consumption, Mortify, etc).

When Stefano Senesi inaugurated his minimalistic dark ambient outlet WINTERBLOOD with the release of his debut full-length "Le fredde ali dell'inverno" in 2008, both, his project's name and the album title that translates as "The Cold Wings of Winter", demonstratively pointed towards one of his favoured artistic sujets. In his stunning catalogue of currently 29 albums, the Italian has returned time and time again to rather nordic themes revolving around the cold season, but also other left-hand topics such as darkness, loneliness, magic, and forests.
With the 2019 digital release, "Finsternis", Stefano Senesi has most successfully evoked the eponymous darkness of its German title and frozen cineastic soundscapes delivered in his typical, minimalistic style that has been aptly dubbed "polar ambient" to such a degree that it has caused a continuous demand from the Italian's following for a physical release ever since this album came out. Kunsthall now gladly heeds the call and proudly presents WINTERBLOOD's "Finsternis" in a beautiful black and silver gatefold double-album edition on black vinyl.
"Alpha Hunt" the debut album of Unfyros delivers a unique mixture of old-school, mid-tempo black and heavy metal with a strong emphasis on dark, hypnotic and menacing atmospheres through captivating, eerie melodies and haunting passages.

Dark, brooding and honest triubte to the glory days of early 90s scandinavian black metal, TRINITAS is the ancient flame of Three, namely Tormentor (ex Sodom, Asphyx, ex Desaster, ex Decayed), Vargher (Naglfar, Bewitched) and Azathoth (Ex-Dark Fortress).
Gatefold double vinyl edition, limited first press.
On "Vom Bruch bis zur Freiheit", the band showcases a keen understanding of what has become their very own distinct sonic palette, while allowing for alterations in performance and presentation to further enrich their sound. Musically, Tardigrada demonstrates a strong sense for composition, allowing melodies carried primarily by a dense wall of soaring guitars to develop and envelop listeners in a deep, ever flowing stream of broad sound.
