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"
Dystopia proudly presents their fourth full length album titled: «De Verboden Diepte I: Veldslag op de Rand van de Wereld». An album that takes you on a journey of Black Metal fury mixed with beautiful post-like atmospheric influences and combined with less obvious instruments like the trumpets.
“De Verboden Diepte I” offers a wide variation on sound and goes from fast black metal blasting to mellow atmospheric passages back to devastating headbang moments in an even somewhat pagan style here and there (like Enslaved). The guitars are strong and clear throughout the album giving them moments of beautiful melodies as well as some old school chord riffing. The drums are also a piece of variation from the standard blasting to more extended playful drum parts where the bass is being added like a pounding machine filling up the gaps with some nice bass solos and it gives the drums that extra touch on the low end. The most remarkable instrument on this album must be the trumpet who delivers some very nice background melodies and atmosphere which lifts the album to a whole other level, combined with the wide range of the vocals who variate between different screams and even clean vocals makes the song structures unbelievable majestic!
Dystopia has delivered an album that is simply beautiful, yet aggressive, powerful, yet calming. A masterpiece within its very own genre! A must have to every fan of Old School Black Metal, Atmospheric Black Metal and even Post or Pagan Black Metal.

"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."
