This is the new solo project from Micke Broberg (UNANIMATED).
Dark and epic black metal for fans of Root, Bathory or Ancient Wisdom.

As the opening notes crawl out of the speakers, slowly but steadily spreading like black lava, the atmosphere thickens with an unsettling sense of dread and bleakness. The eight tracks that constitute the eponymous album Daemonium Regni feel like a liturgy charged with foul energy, dedicated to darkness and perdition.

Proficient arrangements with different layers added on top of repetitive riffs, with all instruments performed very competently by the band’s sole member, make Daemonium Regni an intriguing listen. The vocals and the intonation of the exclusively Latin lyrics play a major role in the album. Mixed to the foreground, the vocals are performed in equal measure as demonic growls and sombre chanting, making all the difference to this album.

Daemonium Regni not only marks Daemonium Regni’s debut, but also the band’s first sign of existence. However, Mickael Broberg, the band's sole member, is anything but a newcomer. Best known as the singer of Unanimated, he has been involved in various bands and projects throughout the decades. Darkness Shall Rise is very proud to introduce you to his latest and possibly darkest band, Daemonium Regni.

CIRCULAR RUIN is the ever-recurring end of everything once great, the endless cycle of temporary prosperity followed by death and devastation, and the inevitable demise of humanity by its own hand.

Hybris Divina, the debut full-length from Oraculum, is a merciless assault and a sonic damnation. The title, signifying "Divine Transgression," guides the album's thematic descent into mythical and spiritual blasphemy. This record is a raw and chaotic maelstrom, delivering bludgeoning riffs, dissonant textures, and unholy invocations that return to the genre's forgotten primordial essence. It is a testament to the enduring, chaotic legacy of Chilean death metal—a calculated and feral vortex of sound. Hybris Divina is set to establish Oraculum as the modern standard-bearer for the most uncompromising, first-wave death metal sound.

TRANSILVANIA returns with "Magia Posthuma", an unholy necromantic spell of black/thrash metal. A deliberate, high-production assault from the emptied crypts of Austria, this is the definitive soundtrack to a post-mortem existence. The band delivers a blistering combination of vampiric fury, the raw, driving spirit of classic thrash, and the chilling, cold atmosphere of black metal.

Red With Black Splatter

This killer live recording was recorded in France during "The World Panzer Battle Tour". Originally released via Regain Records, this killer Marduk live show is finally made available again on Back On Black.

Recorded in 1992, the album delivers primitive riffs, harsh vocals, and a bleak atmosphere that marks the birth of Marduk's infernal legacy. Fierce, unpolished, and uncompromising, Dark Endless stands as a primal monument to the band's origins.

Though Marduk would later evolve into one of the fastest and most intense black-metal bands, "Dark Endles"s stands as the crucial 1st chapter: a rare snapshot of the band's formative sound, a bridge between death and black metal, and an essential piece of Swedish extreme-metal history.

Uncompromising and relentlessly grim, it remains a cornerstone release for anyone exploring the origins of Marduk's reign.

 

Austin Lunn’s journey carried Panopticon from the urban density of Louisville to the remote northern reaches of Minnesota. It is here, surrounded by a landscape both inspiring and endangered, that “Det hjemsøkte hjertet” took shape. The album follows an elder hermit in the final week of his life, interweaving childhood memories with a lament for an ecosystem transformed by modern encroachment.

Dense, atmospheric, and unmistakably cinematic, “Det hjemsøkte hjertet” (‘The Haunted Heart’) shifts from the icy aggression of earlier works into something richer and more saturated – a palette of purples and burning oranges fading into dusk. The folk instrumentation once associated with Panopticon has largely receded, giving way to tones reminiscent of Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

The metal foundation remains, but the record’s strength lies in composition rather than speed: layered arrangements, long-form dynamics, and a strong narrative undercurrent. A full orchestral presence runs throughout, with Charlie Anderson’s string performances adding both gravity and movement. Each song features a different guest vocalist – Aaron Charles (Falls Of Rauros, Rhun), Jan Evan Åsli (Vemod), and Jan 'Winterherz' Van Berlekom (Waldgeflüster) among them – introducing distinct colours without compromising cohesion.

In a year which marks the 40th anniversary since the initial formation - under the moniker of Black Death - of what would subsequently grow into influential genre legends, 2026 marks the return of the imperishable Norwegian duo of Fenriz & Nocturno Culto for their new opus of high calibre old metal, under the banner of ‘Pre-Historic Metal’. As Fenriz himself proclaims of the title’s symbolic origin, “Prehistoric is a loose term. I just figure it’s our VIBE, our take on things & it’s more a statement that we use old style to create something new”.

‘Pre-Historic Metal’ contains eight tracks of primal epics & gargantuan riffs with organic sound & the ever-present permeating spirit of the 70’s & 80’s, for a new continuation of the mastery witnessed on 2024’s ‘It Beckons Us All’. This next chapter in Darkthrone’s extensive & ongoing catalogue presents a vast odyssey through the sonic landscapes of Thrash, Black, Heavy & Doom Metal &, adorned with a punishing & “in your face” guitar presence, Darkthrone stirs the cauldron of savage creativity with a nod to the writing methods which were indicative of their earlier works of the late 80’s, but with a more refined craft.

'Pre-Historic Metal' was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios, Oslo, with production work conducted by Ole Øvstedal, Silje Høgevold & Mads Luis. Mastering was carried out by Jack Control at Enormous Door, & Maor Appelbaum Mastering.
