"Candyland" vinyl color

The long Canadian winter has many voices, but few speak with the introspective clarity of Finnr’s Cane. Emerging from the icy expanse of Sudbury, Ontario, the duo’s self-titled fourth album is a meditation on transition: the slow dying of autumn, the silence of snowfall, and the liminal space between nature and civilisation.

Though rooted in atmospheric black metal, Finnr’s Cane forgo many of the genre’s conventions. There is no bass guitar; instead, low-end warmth and mournful resonance are carried by cello and keyboard, lending the music an organic, almost spectral quality. Rather than follow rigid structures, their songs unfold through improvisation, guided by mood and instinct.

Comparable in spirit to acts like Wolves in the Throne Room, Agalloch, and Fen, Finnr’s Cane tread a kindred path but speak in a voice entirely their own – one that has resonated since their 2010 debut, “Wanderlust”, and continued through critically acclaimed releases on Prophecy Productions and Frostscald Records. This latest work marks their first collaboration with Nordvis, a natural home for their singular vision.

To celebrate the first decade of such an important album, Avantgarde Music proudly presents a double-vinyl special edition aptly named Isolate X, which not only includes the original Isolate, but adds a second LP with reworks and reinterpretations from both fellow Avantgarde Music cosmic artists and friends of Mesarthim alike.
Isolate X includes contributions from Mike Lamb and Heike Langhans’ Remina, the newborn Italian black metal band Bianca (featuring members from Hideous Divinity), Australian solo projects Midnight Odyssey and Germ, and the rising cosmic force from Sweden Vrazorth.
With a wonderful handpainting by Heinke Langhans which reimagines the original NASA photo of the Horsehead Nebula, Isolate X is a perfect change to rediscover Mesarthim’s debut from an unexpected perspective, or experience it for the first time.

"Vedderbaug" second album from Norwegian black metal band LJÅ, marks a significant evolution from their 2006 debut, "Til avsky for livet."
While the first album delivered a raw, chaotic assault reminiscent of the second-wave black metal style, "Vedderbaug" offers relentless drumming, more ferocity with darker melodies.
Deeply rooted in traditional Norwegian black metal, "Vedderbaug" revealed a LJÅ more venomous with time.

Re-issue, updated layout for the best, mastered specially for vinyl.

NORDIC METAL

HELHEIM, founded in Bergen, Norway in 1992 were eager to establish themselves in the Norwegian Black Metal scene and released their first demo in 1993. Heavily influenced by BATHORY and including a cover of VENOM`s “Countess Bathory” to pay tribute to one of their foremost influences, the first demo, while being an interesting document of the time and showing potential, still lacked the depth and ambition of their later work.

Their second demo entitled Niðr Ok Norðr Liggr Helvegr and released in 1994 marked a major leap in style and quality. With a for a demo unusually long playing time of nearly 50 minutes, HELHEIM`s second effort saw the horde introducing female vocals, folk and Viking elements and even trumpets. Obviously influenced by compatriots ENSLAVED, it featured non-linear compositions and a unique sound. This demo is considered a landmark in Norwegian Metal and far surpasses the typical expectations of a demo release. It`s with Niðr Ok Norðr Liggr Helvegr that HELHEIM found their sound and catapulted themselves to the forefront of Norwegian Black Metal.

Remastered from the original DATs by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony.

The double-LP comes with a hugh 16-page 12” booklet including the interview and many never before-seen pictures.
