Back in stock - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Jewel Case CD + booklet
Since their previous albums "Mass Grave" and "Death Siege" - both released via Season of Mist - Hierophant paved their way into the extreme metal scene in Europe, with a relentless and furious approach.
Following the conquest of the most prestigious stages (Hellfest, MetalDays,
Party.San), the Death Siege ranks pushed the limit to the extreme and ultimately crafted the first live album in the band's career.
Recorded at Hellfest 2023, "Gateway to the Abyss" (released via Dusktone) is the feral representation of what Hierophant is about: Hatred, blood, nihility.
FIRE WILL RISE!
Describing his ideas behind "F(OUR) WARD", EdleyODowd notices that the combination of sound and visuals were “essential to delivering a message”- points out Edley talking about his foray into new territory.
“I wanted to create something of nightmares and bliss” explains EdleyODowd when asked to discuss the combination of visuals and sound presented on his latest solo release "F(OUR) WARD".
ODowd, a long-time veteran of various musical scenes, has collaborated and performed with many musical luminaries (Genesis P-Orridge, Deborah Harry, LeneLovich, Tony Conrad, Shilpa Ray), as well as being a member of Toilet Boys, Psychic TV, Kylesa and his brand-new death rock band Scorpion Tea.
Initially released as an ultra-limited cassette release via Flesh Prison/DeathBed Tapes, "F(OUR) WARD" is coming out in the rest of the world via 13, as an extended version featuring three bonus tracks and expanded artwork by ODowd. “I am proud to present what I consider to be the complete version of this art and music”, stresses Edley, talking about the unity of two inseparable components of his creativity. “The video clips that accompany these songs are designed to be trance-induced launchpads for the audio and vice-versa” – admits ODowd: “A world within our own, in which we can see and hear new and exciting things”. The videos accompanying the release of "F(OUR) WARD" were shot on various locations in Mexico and Colombia, ODowd’s goal was to present a visual environment one could listen to the music within.

Akouphenom is a Blackened Death Metal band embodying different influences, from Doom to Noise, with the ambition to reflect absolute evil in their creations. The word Akouphenom comes from a twist on the word tinnitus, a real consequence of the band’s prolific live activities.
Akouphenom was born in 2014, with the first rehearsal sessions between Dragon (vocals and guitars) and Prgich (drums). The following years saw the band focusing on live activities and releasing two different splits, as well as facing some line-up changes, yet never reaching the goal of a full-length studio album. Now the wait is finally over, as Akouphenom will release Death·Chaos·Void in October.
Death·Chaos·Void is a concept album divided into six chapters, which the band explains as a journey to unveil the truths of the Arkhé, the natural law, which is no more than an extension of the chaotic reality of the human condition.
Akouphenom's debut album is a hymn to the three ruling powers of existence: death, chaos and the void, leaders, kings and conquerors for all eternity.
Furious yet poised, feral yet professional, VALKYRJA from Sweden make their long-awaited return with The Antagonist's Fire. VALKYRJA's third album to date, The Antagonist's Fire follows their critically acclaimed second album, Contamination, released in 2010 by Metal Blade. Here, the quartet goes from strength to strength, employing a variety of tempos and textures - including a pronounced usage of classic heavy metal lead work - whilst staying deadly committed to timeless black metal orthodoxy. Each track explodes into burning black fire and reaches near-anthem status before song's end, twisting the listener into a state of feverish possession. Feel The Antagonist's Fire!
Terrific debut album for this norwegian band who offers an album in the glorious 90's Norsk black metal style. For fans of Kvist, early Kalessin and Carpathian Forest
