Più scuro di un nembo, fatto di dolore, alienazione e tenebre IV: An Arrow in Heart, il nuovo album pubblicato dai francesi Aosoth, è come un male angosciante che tinge di nero ed infetta tutto ciò che sfiora.
Seguendo la direzione già intrapresa nel precedente full-lenght III – Violence & Variation, uscito nel 2011, la black metal band accentua ulteriormente le atmosfere lugubri e tenebrose, annegando nell’inchiostro più nero brani che opprimono e soffocano, impregnati di elettricità statica e funeree minacce.
Un album dall’ampio minutaggio e dalle tinte particolarmente fosche, che si inserisce a pieno titolo nella scia del religious black metal, pagando però un tributo piuttosto pesante ai connazionali Blut Aus Nord, che sembrano gravare sulla band come un ombra sinistra. Stesso sound malato, stesse chitarre pastose, distorte fino a renderle quasi nero fango fluidificato, che cola, perde forma, e ricopre tutto di una spessa coltre viscida e vischiosa.

Den Saakaldte steps out of the shadows after five long years of strengthening their dark musical identity and defining a more grim musical approach. Built upon intense and heavy emotions, "Kapittel II: Faen i Helvete" is one of the most hateful and gloomy records Norway has spawned. At the same time the album feels as Den Saakaldte's most complete work to date, mixing doom and black metal riffs with clean vocals, spoken parts and obscure atmosphere.

Gaahls WYRD, the eponymous brainchild of one of black metal’s most iconic and enigmatic figures, has returned with a hypnotic new EP! ‘The Humming Mountain’ follows the band’s critically-acclaimed debut album, ‘GastiR – Ghosts Invited,’ and sees the latest evolution of the esoteric dark metal project’s sound. The five song offering creeps in like a whispering demon, slowly entrancing the listener with its deep, dark gaze before it sinks its teeth in and drags you into the all-consuming abyss.

For fans of: BLUT AUS NORD, GORGOROTH, RUINS OF BEVERAST, TRELLDOM

Comes with a 12 pages booklet.

ABYSMAL GRIEF's classic debut EP, Mors Eleison, on CD format for the first time ever.

ABYSMAL GRIEF should require little introduction. Since 1996, the band have prolifically maintained their position as Italy's foremost purveyors of traditional doom. Originally released in 2006 on vinyl, Mors Eleison followed a handful of demos and split releases; as such, it was ABYSMAL GRIEF's first stand-alone pro recording just prior to their classic self-titled album in 2007. Even this early on, their sulfurous magick was a beyond-heady brew that was simply impossible to deny. Sure, they embodied all the sonic/aesthetic traits otherwise associated with "doom," but it was the gothic horror (and sometimes, just straight-up gothiness) that really put ABYSMAL GRIEF into a class all their own, deeper and deeper into virtual and literal DOOM, and arguably here on Mors Eleison is where it first truly took flight...or is that depth(s)? Punning conundrums aside, the band also really underlined their grand lineage - and oddball uniqueness - with a cover of granddaddy Paul Chain's "Occultism" as well as the frequent excursions into crypt-dwelling ambient soundscapes. Also included in this new (and, we feel, definitive) version is the rare video for "Dies Funeris." Enter the crypt again, or for the first time!
