With thirty years of active, nefarious service under their bulletbelts, NECROPHOBIC are undisputed legends of the death and black metal underground. Formed in 1989 by drummer Joakim Sterner, the Stockholm based outfit propagated a singular and fearless vision from the very start, confirming their prowess with now legendary debut album The Nocturnal Silence in 1993. Eschewing the self-conscious amateurism and primitive sonics that many of their peers held dear, NECROPHOBIC established a bold and vivid identity of their own, conjuring a densely melodic but endlessly wicked take on macabre extreme metal that countless lesser bands have since emulated. With “Satanic Blasphemies”, NECROPHOBIC re-release a compilation of demo songs and will also present two demo tracks which have been recorded at their rehearsal place and were never released before. The album will be available as Ltd. CD Jewelcase in slipcase, black LP & LP-Booklet with an A2-sized Poster and Digital album.
5th album for Dutch pioneer grim black metal band FUNERAL WINDS

Ferum is a death doom metal band originated in Italy, but now scattered
over two countries. Asunder / Erode, the band’s debut album, is an
obsessive and monolithic record. Slow, funereal riffs are tied to faster,
sharper parts, while harmonized melodies and solos paint a cavernous
atmosphere. The drums wisely marches, moving from the background into
the spotlight, always followed by the bass guitar.
Asunder / Erode was recorded and mixed at Walter Productions in Tallinn,
Estonia by producer and sound engineer Are Kangus. The studio is located
inside the historic Tallinna Linnahall, a behemoth built during the Soviet
occupation. Today it is an urban wreck kept alive by few commercial
activities which are based on the inside: it is in fact closed to the public,
with the exception of some parts. Its interior is a maze of stillbirth potential,
and inspired one of the album's pieces.
The record was mixed completely in analogue to give the songs a deeper,
more archaic, real thickness. The master by Dan Swanö added the final
touches, making the album consistent, organic and even heavier.
Conceptually, Asunder / Erode is a journey that explores the idea of
separation and its dichotomy, up to erosion and collapse. This is
represented in a morbid and extreme way by the cover by Maestro Paolo
Girardi. The choice of oil on canvas follows the same logic of the analogue
mix: to make the whole as natural, as real as possible, and to pay homage
to the influences that inspired Ferum, by reinterpreting them
"Macabre Damp" is the first FONSADERA manifesto (formerly known as EYÁVBËG) and a damning assault or purge in the homeland. Subersive and raw Black Metal from the land of clandestine graves with the sole desire to see columns of smoke burning without stopping! Death to corrupt, crude and completely catholicized politics! Death to the dissidents of the black flame! We all burn to the end.

Limited 180g Black Vinyl Edition
Switzerland's Tardigrada have emerged as one of the leading purveyors of truly immersive, atmospheric extreme metal music. With members based in Basel and Zürich, the band's demo "Widrstand" provides a glimpse into the sonic seeds that would fully grow into their full-length releases.
On "Widrstand", Tardigrada presents a rawer sound that is no less capable of gripping listeners with its keen sense for melody than the band's more accomplished later works. Due to "Widrstand" no longer being available in its original, strictly limited release run, it is long overdue for a re-release. For this occasion, it will feature an additional song entitled "Leere" (which translates to "Emptiness").
Carefully re-mastered by Christoph Brandes of Iguana Studios, allowing for listeners to experience them in a new light, enhancing their original soundscape while retaining the original recordings' essence.
The unlikely origins of the Cost
The unlikely origins of the Costa Rica and German based band UMBRA CONSCIENTIA, return with their second album; Nigredine Mundi, yet again released by Terratur Possessions.
In 2019 the band came out of the blue and blew people away with their relentless, punishing debut; Yellowing of the Lunar Consciousness. With hints to bands like FUNERAL MIST and KATHARSIS, you should know what to expect. The band swiftly gained a following with superb feedback all around, and now, two years later, it's time for a follow up.
What to expect? The same, yet I would dare say this album is toned down a smidge in terms of speed, and thus a tad heavier than its predecessor.
The band has yet again delivered an agressive, heavy, hard hitting, pitch Black Metal album and there's no holding back.
The band will play their debut gig at the notorious BEYOND THE GATES Festival in Norway this year (2022).
