Ole Alexander Halstensgård, Kristoffer Rygg, Tore Ylwizaker and Stian Westerhus – went full isolation in their studio below the haunted hill, fantasizing about bygone nights of slasher, exploitation, and giallo. Three or four months went by, the band returned to the living, and sent their radiophonic workshop experiments off to the Dogs of Doom, France, where friend and fellow film freak, Carpenter Brut did a razor-sharp mix before taking it to Thibault Chaumont (Deviant Lab) for the master.
Scary Muzak, on one hand a homage to Carpenter’s themes – five out of twelve tracks are covers whereas the rest comes from the outer realms – and on the other zooming out on the aesthetics of the late ’70s and early ’80s popular culture. It is perhaps the Norwegians’ most hauntological moment, whirling up themes and moods, horrors and mysteries hidden in the foggy back alleys of your youth. Imagine the gloomy siblings of Les Humphries, Gert Wilden, and their respective orchestras, armed to their teeth with synths, pads, FX. Sometimes classy and chilling, other times amusingly smooth and sleazy, and at times outright beautiful in its suspense-filled vigour, Scary Muzak is an inspired, goblinesque addition to the ever-expanding Ulver catalogue. Interior films, remember?
A shapeshifting beast to sacrifice. Conduit of meditations to emanations. Through the vessels ( ) 1853, Ritualmord manifests.
Unbound by genres and style. Firmly rooted in black metal. Not as a mere genre, but lifestyle.
With each release, a pursuit to explore. From neofolk-tinged acoustic rumbles to alternative electronic flirting with industrial. Drones emerging into post-rock. Some may say post-black metal, someday.
It began as a place where songs from Lifelover and Hypothermia would go.
As we grow as artists and individuals, yet remain true to ourselves and ideals.
Which is one of the foundations that made those aforementioned bands stand out from the masses.
To creatively be and remain original. True to ourselves and the art that we live for.
Without boundaries. Ever-evolving.
After three EPs, ahead is the following: The first full-length debut album "This is Not Lifelover"
Judas Iscariot's mammoth fourth album “Of Great Eternity”, originally released in 1999 and Out of Print since 2003, is available again for the first time in almost two decades! The fore-father of US Black Metal, mastermind Akhenaten defined a sound that is still being copied today. A milestone album for US Black Metal and A major influence on scene luminaries such as Xasthur, I Shalt Become, Leviathan and Krieg to name but a few. Bow to the master!
Opaque Red / Grey Swirl Vinyl
Full coloured cover with white inner jacket + Insert. Limited to 100 copies on 12" Vinyl.
In 2024, Frostmoon Eclipse celebrated their 30th anniversary, which saw new light to their first 4 studio albums, and this year the band returns with their 8th full length album «As Time Retreats». On this album the band explores deeper into their distinguished signature sound where Black Metal is mixed with Classic Rock. Furthermore the band has implied some surprising Post elements and even some Death / Doom moments (think of Katatonia, My Dying Bride and the likes) and this all for the better!!!
Rerelease of the 2012 debut album in 2xLP for this band from Germany
Highly recommended for fans of Finnish black metal who haven't searched for practitioners living beyond that country's borders, or generally to fans of raw but riffy and melody-driven black metal in the finest of second wave traditions.
Limited to 200 copies in black vinyl

"The Tasmanian melodic black metal group ATRA VETOSUS return with their new EP ‘Even The Dawn No Longer Brings Hope', to be released on 29th January, 2021 by Belgium based label Immortal Frost Productions.
The EP combines aspects of melodic, atmospheric, depressive and post black metal and serves as a sequel to 2018's APRICITY and bridges the gap between APRICITY and the upcoming full length album.
EVEN THE DAWN NO LONGER BRINGS HOPE is a clear and beautiful piece of musical art that interweaves lush, melancholic passages and sweeping, majestic soundscapes spread over 3 memorable and enthralling tracks."
