The new album from Polish black metal legend 20 years since their highly acclaimed debut "Wicher"! Available in 6-panel digipack limited to the first pressing.

Almost 20 years since their debut album, Wicher (1996), SACRILEGIUM now return with their second full-length, Anima Lucifera. The album title refers directly to a line from a poem by Leopold Staff; excerpts of which have been used in the new Sacrilegium tracks. Similarly, the works of W. B. Yeats and Ferdnando Pessoa appear next to Nantur’s original lyrics.

With Anima Lucifera, the band goes against the grain and abandons the path which they originally paved. Crossing their own borders and rejecting current popular conventions, Sacrilegium mark a new direction for themselves. They are not completely abandoning the pagan spirit but rather evolving from popular tradition in the direction of the esoteric school. Anima Lucifera explores occult themes, which accompanied the band members at the beginning of their journey in the 1990s. Today, however, their music is richer thanks to the experience they have gained over the last 20 years.

Anima Lucifera is an album decidedly more brutal and aggressive, yet at the same time not lacking the touch of melancholy which characterises Sacrilegium’s music. This is still the traditional black metal with which the Pomeranian band is associated with. It is, nonetheless, also demonstrating that these musicians did not freeze in time and still pursue something new to say. They are convinced that with this album they have managed to include and release everything which has been stuck in them all these years.

Anima Lucifera was recorded in the autumn of 2015 at the Pomeranian North Studio. Mixing and mastering duties were undertaken by Nihil (Furia, Morowe, Massemord) at Czyściec Studio (www.czysciec.net). The author of the artwork, and the whole graphic design of the album, is Marcin Łojek (Thaw, Nadja, Sunrise).

Brand new 32-minutes mini album from North, one of the longest running black metal bands in Poland, belonging with Behemoth, Graveland and Sacrilegium to the first wave of Polish Black Metal of early 90's.

Jewelcase CD with 12-page booklet.

"We Are, We Remain…" serves as a potent reintroduction for North. This 32-minutes long EP, featuring a mix of brand new tracks, a re-recorded classic "Hymn to Winter" (from debut 1992 demo) and a Bathory cover, showcases the band's signature sound – a potent blend of pagan black metal and death metal fury, delivered with powerful Polish lyrics. Thematically, the EP delves into pagan lore and history, drawing inspiration from the works of 19th-century Polish poet Roman Zmorski, a figurehead of the "black romanticism" movement.
 

Fourth full-lenght from the Polish experimental black metallers FURIA! The band have been dwelling within the Polish black metal underground for a period of time in which this enigma have clearly spearheaded themselves as one of most prominent acts within the scene. “Nocel” consists of 8 brand new morose and mournful hymns that displayed a scenario where fury and hatred are the two dominating emotions.

Following on from their 2016 critically acclaimed album “Księżyc Milczy Luty”, Polish nekrofolk act Furia have announced their next material. Entitled “W Śnialni” (which roughly translates to “the dream room”) the musical work, which draws comparisons to a musical drama in style, is released on 21 February 2021 via Pagan Records.

Recorded 3 November 2019 in the painting studio of Urszula Broll and Andrzej Urbanowicz in Katowice. Guest appearances: actors involved with, among others, the National Old Theatre in Kraków and a miners’ orchestra.  

„Our goal was something on the border of a radio play / theater of imagination and a music album...” - says Nihil.

Get ready to get lost in the labyrinth, the apocalypse is already going on...

Reissue of the debut Yoth Iria EP including new artwork and a bonus track. Jewelcase CD with booklet. Limited to 500 copies worldwide.

Yoth Iria is the brainchild of Greek black metal veterans Jim Mutilator and The Magus - the duet which developed and pioneered the underground scene back in the day. Originally released in January 2020, “Under His Sway” was the duet’s first release. It was an initial taste of what’s to come from the duo that developed and pioneered the underground scene back in the day: a grand blend of heavy/doom and epic black metal that travels the underground into dark realms and silent hills. A year later, the band released the debut full-length album “As the Flame Withers” via Pagan Records to critical acclaim and what many would consider as one of the most important metal albums of 2021.

Second installment “二度目の災害” (‘second disaster’) from the enigmatic black metal entity Arkhtinn takes us on a dark voyage into the cold dead space. Arkhtinn is a part of the Prava KolleKtiv consisting of an anonymous group of musicians. Over the past few years, the band has released a number of demos, but it was until the year 2018 that this enigmatic outfit released its debut album. “最初の災害“. The band provides a cosmic sense of the palpable atmosphere creating a brooding mood for the listener with the use of electronic samples combined with the oppressive percussion and rhythm guitars adding immense sensibility to the growing atmosphere of the music transcends in the sonic realm of cosmic black metal. The keyboards here form thick layers on top of the blistering tremolo-picked riffs that are meticulously infused with the massive outburst of the drums keeping the music flowing deep.
