The long work is coming to an end: Italian/Polish black metal band Amalekim, with a new line-up, is ready to reveal their latest work, Avodah Zarah. 

Once again, the ultimate aim is to question all that is sacred and all that is profane in this age of ours. Avodah Zarah contains many influences and many different experiences, both on a musical and a personal level, seeking to present itself as something new in the purest tradition of the genre. With this work, Amalekim decisively turn over a new leaf compared to their previous work, HVHI, with conceptual and musical maturity, seeking to maintain the melodic aspects that distinguish them, implemented by dissonances and greater compositional complexity.

Avodah Zarah revolves around the concept of the inversion of values, taking much from the Old Testament tradition, occultism and alchemy, always in an attempt to bring to the ears and eyes (starting from the cover) of the listeners an ever-present revolt, but without the obviousness and generality that too often mark today's world.

Recorded in 2002 and considered their first official release, this 2-track demo is the prologue to DARKSPACE’s first album.
It offers a similar musical experience to "Dark Space I", with dark and oppressive atmospheres thanks to a raw sound and more primitive production.

Cult ambient black metal pioneer DARKSPACE (ft. Members of Paysage d'Hiver + Sun of the Blind) is now reissuing its complete discography, which includes four full-lengths and an EP, via Season of Mist!
Dubbed “The Most Mysterious Anonymous Blackest Black Metal Band,” the enigmatic Swiss trio is known for their hypnotic and otherworldly sound, which has greatly influenced modern atmospheric and cosmic black metal as we know it today.
The band will be releasing a brand new album via Season of Mist at a later date!

DOUBLE-DISC EDITION OF THE ICONIC 1992 BLACK METAL CLASSIC FROM DARKTHRONE, INCLUDING THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY MASTER, PLUS ADDITIONAL DISC WITH COMMENTARY FROM FENRIZ.

’A Blaze In The Northern Sky’, Darkthrone's official second album, was originally released in 1992 & was without question one of the blueprints for the Black Metal scene, spearheading the evolution of the early second wave movement in Norway & beyond. It was hailed on release as an album of true scene-shifting greatness, following their more death metal focussed debut, ’Soulside Journey’.

The rawness apparent on the album (recorded at Creative Studios, the same location as Mayhem's legendary Deathcrush was put to tape), was unusual for the time & an antithesis to the usual metal production values & standards during the period. With this, Darkthrone's statement of attitude & intent was clear & their status as masters of Norwegian black metal was set.

This edition of 'A Blaze In The Northern Sky' is presented on double-disc CD format & includes the audio master created for the album’s 30th anniversary in line with the original 1992 version, plus the 2012 commentary disc from Fenriz with his recollections on the tracks & the time period.

To fans of black metal, Dødheimsgard need no introduction, being as they are one of the great purveyors of the Norwegian Black Metal creative evolution. The band was formed in 1994 by Aldrahn (Thorns, The Deathtrip) and Vicotnik (Ved Buens Ende). The early incarnation was that of a raw and at times melodic black metal band, with their debut album also featuring Darkthrone’s Fenriz on bass.
 

A 2018 Peaceville CD reissue of Dodheimsgard’s 1998’s album Satanic Art featuring bonus tracks.

One of the visionaries of the mid-1990’s Norwegian Black Metal evolution, DHG are widely hailed as masters of dark and psychotic Psychedelic-tinged extremity. Satanic Art is considered a significant turning point for the band, as the compositions became less traditional in their structure and delivery, and became more abstract and twisted.

This edition of Satanic Art includes two bonus tracks, Black Treasure and an alternate rendition of Symptom.

The Italic spirit returns… Winter Medieval Black Metal from the Mounts of Sibylla!

4 years after the sheer onslaught which was "Sumerian Promises", Sijjin return with their 2nd opus entitled "Helljjin Combat".
The German/Basque trio has delved into depths absolute, focusing their lens on the most antediluvian variety of Death Metal while bringing up a derivative of evil Thrash with utmost evil intent.
The album conjures its own life of satanic imagery, diabolical debauchery and biblical fatalism. Sijjin follow the firm path they once took but permanently turn to the south of heaven.

Nel Buio, Italian for In the Dark, is a black wave project born by Clod "the Ripper" De Rosa (Blasphemer, ex-Septycal Gorge) in the Autumn of 2023 to combine black metal and 80s darkwave. The Line up was completed by
Neil Grotti on guitars and Francesco Vellacifer on drums (both of Electrocution and Blasphemer's fame, among the many).
Avantgarde Music is glad to announce the release of Nel Buio self-titled debut EP. Frontman Clod the Ripper chose the following words to introduce the five songs composing the record: “In the shadow of the metropolis, where the echo of alienation seeps through the cracks in the concrete, our music is born. A work that reflects the isolation and hypocrisy of lives obscured by the lights of big cities. Through a feminine eye, our "pure Italian blackwave" is a manifesto for those who find beauty in decay and truth in shadows, a comfort in the darkness for the souls lost within it”.
Uncompromising, dark and sorrowful, Nel Buio debut will leave a mark on all those looking for something more than mere fury in black metal. On June 21st, let the dark guide you.

Baltic Black Metal, for fans of Vreid, Windir, Burzum...

“Verso Casa” (Homewards) is the second Sonic Voyage of the Italian Atmospheric Black Metal sensation Taur-Im-Duinath. The band’s second chapter delves into the meaning of belonging and identity, and the absence of a rooted sense of place. The pondering of questions such as “What is home?” or “What does it mean to feel at home?” becomes the starting point of this perennial journey. The quest here manifests itself as the search, the longing for a place beyond the physical and immanent meaning, a metaphoric and spiritual locus where peace can finally be found, where all yearnings and strife are meaningless.

Always adrift in the tempestuous current of life, Taur-Im-Duinath’s shape changed and evolved with the passage of time, weaving a rich tapestry adorned with a newfound awareness, maturity and depth. Its musical landscape is a labyrinth of intertwined emotions, painted with evocative and melancholic strokes, not unlike the branches of the trees dancing in the wind, or the seas at storm, or the sullen calm of a mountain peak.
