Norwegian viking pagan black metal brigade NIFROST is set to release their new, long-awaited, full length album to the masses 
NIFROST already established its own remarkable identity built upon cold and ferocious sounds attack, intense melodies and charging guitars.
Combining unrelenting black metal atmosphere and vision from varying extreme metal genres with a apocalyptic twist of inspiration, careful listeners may just be able to identify themes from some of their stories, concepts and more…
The concept of their third album began with the title “Orkja”, which is the name of a mountain infamous for landslides that turned into murderous floods in the olden days of Jølster, on the wild and beautiful western coast of Norway.
Through these old stories, they found a spark of inspiration in approaching apocalyptic themes in a bigger or on smaller more personal-level picture, both physically and metaphorically.

When the band wrote the album “Orkja” in late 2018, they never knew how fitting these doomsday-themes would come to be in current times. The seven songs that comprise “Orkja”, each have its own connection to the end of things, and to the possibility of new beginnings.

Proud and pure, Hänen temppelinsä varjoissa exudes that aura of classic Finnish black metal from the late '90s onward, as laid down by the likes of Horna, Satanic Warmaster, and Azaghal among others. Black metal doesn't need to "be" anything more than what it already IS - or what it should be - and such is the case with AESTHUS. Every element here, from the melancholically melodic riffing to the surging 'n' swirling battery to, the distinctly twisted timbre of the Finnish tongue, of course, is in perfect, precise, PASSIONATE lockstep to create a maelstrom of hypnotic-yet-hummable proportions. Indeed, Hänen temppelinsä varjoissa is the work of a true band - meaning, a group of people playing together rather than a disconnected file-sharing project - with each of these seven songs drench in literal blood and sweat and perhaps alcohol. If there's one trump card that AESTHUS play (and poignantly), it's their dual-guitar lead work; the lead lines explode with memorability and malice in equal measure, underlining the METAL in black metal but never belaboring the point.

A raw pre-production of material for the debut album and more - an atmospheric introduction and a moody acoustic guitar based instrumental is added, making this a release of its own.

The Italian Black Metal Legends of Frostmoon Eclipse are back with a brand new EP entitled «Rustworn». On “Rustworn” the band present 2 new songs and 3 Live songs as a warm up for their upcoming 8th Full Length album. Just like the predecessor “Worse Weather To Come” does the new EP head in the same direction with a perfect balance between traditional Black Metal riffing and instrumental acoustic pieces. Magical guitar parts who elevates you in combination with a strong bass presence to a higher level. Tempo changing drums that go from mid phased to full on blast beats to slow tempo with break fillings to keep the songs interesting from start till end. And as last but certainly not least powerful raspy scream vocals in combination with haunting almost depressing clean singing that gives you the right chills.
