CD

"Aelter continue their curious and darkly glorious odyssey with an album brimming with desert drones, ghost-town Morricone, gothic tumbleweeds, blackened Badalamenti, sepulchral lounge music, campfire ballads from the grave, galactic shimmers, ominous swamp waltz and what feels like the black lodge version of John Lurie".

“Groovy, majestic, crushing and epic. Old school death metal with a fresh touch by the legends of the scene.”

If the caustic vocals weren’t enough of an indicator, lyrics of isolation, tales of scavengers of the waste of humanity, and lamentations of regret might tip you off that there is absolutely nothing uplifting about this album.

While wallowing in despair, you might find the self-referential opening track, the first song released and the album’s strongest track, “Unending Call of Woe” to be a great listen, blending a strong tremolo picked melody with tempo and groove changes that are, dare I say, fun. The speed and higher vocals betray a definite thrashy punk influence that brings something more to the table than your standard black metal fare. The phased guitar lead into in “The Ones We Lost” and the ending riff of “Abject In Defeat” are some other great moments on this record.

Vendetta

Abhorrence’s comeback to the live arena after 20 years of lying in wait in the grave took place in the black summer of 2013. Svart Records were also there, capturing all 35 minutes of the bone-grinding mayhem and cadaveric incantations spewn forth from the stage. After an unholy gestation period the live material is now being let out to wreak havoc and cause grievous bodily and mental harm to the general public. Abhorrence are still old school, still undead and unclean!"

Harsh riffing guitars combined with intense atmosphere, blasting drums and maniacal possessed vocals.
This album is a great homage to the demon of all oceans, the lord of the eternal abyss - the mighty Leviathan!

Regain

Recorded in 2009/10 and featuring Emaceator on guitar and Exciter on drums this is the sound of an unenviable future, narrated by a voice drenched in echo of a dreadful past. Shelved until now, it can be contained no longer.

Schattenkult

Although "new" in name, HAXXAN features underground legend Killjoy DeSade (Necrophagia, The Ravenous, Wurdulak, et. al.) on vocals and synth. Formed in 2011 by Killjoy and guitarist Shawn Slusarek, the duo decided to write material that had an old-school black metal vibe, citing such influences as Beherit, Archgoat, and Blasphemy with hints of Candlemass and Mercyful Fate. The duo then added bassist Jake Arnette and drummer Serge Streltsov, and soon recorded their debut album, Loch Ness Rising.
