First time on CD! - New Stereo Mix and Master.
Classic Jewelcase Edition w/Obi-Strip

„Eventyr", the debut record by Norwegian folk-act Byrdi, shows the work of two musicians, creating the first touch of something bigger than we – as humans – are. On the occasion of the band's tenth anniversary, Eisenwald re-releases the album digitally and – for the first time – on CD.
Since the first version was unintentionally released in mono, now the record got a stereo treatment – newly mixed by former band member Jørn Øyhus in his own Bergart Studio and mastered by Greg Chandler (Priory Recordings). It features a stunning artwork by David Thiérrée and a new, expanded layout, created at House Of Inkantation, with archival footage from the phase while the album was recorded.

With „Eventyr", Byrdi delivered a fresh take on nordic folk – authentic, handmade, emotive, and unique. A reflection of personal spirituality, seen through the lens of nature and lore. Now fans of dark, hypnotic music, who like to indulge themselves in the melancholic beauty of moody acoustic guitars and chants, can finally take their chance to add this 2014 released gem to their collections – in its definitive version.

 „Etna" explores themes that are far more autobiographical. The album is named after the eternal river of childhood and new life. „Etna" is the source flowing from the mountains and down to the fields, cleaning and purifying everything in its path. Consequently, Jørn Øyhus describes the process of writing the songs on his new piece of art as „like having mirror therapy sessions". The record tells about the thoughts and ponderings of a man whose life kept falling apart piece by piece until there was nothing left but a broken person. A human being that had lost everything except his music to guide him and light his way.

„Etna" was self-recorded in Jørn Øyhus' own „BergArt Studio" in Norway, where the forest is his neighbor and dear friend. His brother Tor Erik Øyhus came by to play the bassoon once owned by their father, who had recently passed away. Emily Nybakk sang the female vocal-parts and Mathias Gyllengahm played the nyckelharpa. Mastering was done at Klangschmiede Studio E by Empyrium's own Markus Stock

Autumnal, drifting, dark and dreamy – the sonic landscapes created by Norwegian folk-act Enge Store are full of longing and bittersweet nostalgia. Eisenwald has the pleasure to release the debut-record „Det høstes nå", a collection of songs created over five years.

The Oslo-based trio's name, translating into „Vast meadows", is indeed indicative of the band's aspiration: to open up a dreamy topography of haunted places and remnants of things lost. Plucked guitars, pulsating percussion, aching strings, and mournful choirs are signature elements in Enge Store's channeling of distant voices.

This is a project of Cernunnus (Manes), Kalmos (ex-Barathrum), Rainer Tuominkanto (Ajattara) and Niklas Kvarforth (Shining).

THE BAND STATES:

"Länge Leve Döden" is our monumental celebration of the great Lord of Death. A perfect alignment of five songs that were written under a awful unhealthy process over the course of two years. Expect Black Metal the way it used to feel and sound back in the early nineties and rejoice!"

A CD that compiles the two EP´s spawned by this up and coming, promising U.S. band so far, previously only available on digital since their late November 2021 release. Acid Birth is an enigmatic two-piece act composed of Morg (guitars, bass, vocals) and Tomb (drums, vocals) that hails from the boggy swamps of New Orleans. Accordingly, their strain of Death/Doom Metal is drenched in miasmatic heaviness, wallowing in slime and emitting a moldy odor that shall delight the most demanding palates. Death and decay finds us all. Iniquitous indulgence taunts our minds. Revel in this savage world of ours amongst the rot and filth that Acid Birth provides. Totally recommended to fans of Mortiferum, Spectral Voice, Gatecreeper, Cerebral Rot, Apparition, Wharflurch...

A CD that compiles the two demos released by this old, obscure Canadian Death Metal band: "Ancestral" (1993) and "Forgotten Survivor" (1994). Ancestral was formed in the summer of 1991 in Montreal, QC, by two friends from high school, namely Marc-Antoine Papineau (drums) and Frédéric St-Marseille (guitar). At first, the two friends were just having fun jamming together, but the more time passed, the more their musical passion grew. They wanted to turn the band into a more serious project, therefore two other school friends joined the band, namely Martin Jetté (bass guitar) and Christian Pocetti (guitar). Shortly after, the lineup was completed with the addition of Daniel Collin (vocals). The band began to rehearse a few songs from other bands, and at the same time they started writing their own material. Being already greatly influenced by European acts such as Entombed, Pestilence and Dismember, but also keeping an eye out on certain U.S. influences (Suffocation among others), and already applying a rather technically sophisticated touch for young rookie musicians, they entered the studio to record their debut, eponymous demo, only a year after the band´s inception. From that moment on, the band gradually began to break into the local Death Metal scene, and shared the stage with acts such as Cryptopsy and Kataklysm, as well as some foreign bands such as Suffocation, Incantation and Macabre. A great friendship between the band members and those of Cryptopsy and Suffocation resulted from those shows, allowing Ancestral to find themselves performing alongside Cryptopsy and Suffocation very often. Keeping a lot of the same influences they displayed on their first demo, but adding the new touch of bands like Dark Tranquility and At The Gates, the band returned to the studio by the end of 1994 and recorded their second and last demo, titled "Forgotten Survivor". Ancestral split up in 1995 following the departure of Daniel Collin.

Originally released in 2014 by Ahdistuksen Aihio and rightfully considered by those in the know as one of the best and most unique Finnish Black Metal recordings made in the '10s, the vinyl version of this masterpiece has been long sold out world-wide.
Pressed onto three sides, the double vinyl is housed in a beautiful gatefold jacket and comes with a 20-page booklet with lyrics.
”Relinquishment” lights the lantern of your seeking by intertwining the ominous, bold and versatile musical, lyrical & visual qualities of the album into a 65 minute crescendo of fury.

"Devoted to constant transformation, under our prism and sole dictate, a phantasmagoric embrace blooms in Ater Ignis. An occult manifestation, as dynamic as relentless, a solid and ruthless force of gnarly Sinister Death Metal."

Since their public unveiling in 2016 with the hideous & haunting Burial Ground Trance demo, Finland’s Celestial Grave have been steadily perfecting a craft that already arrived fully formed. While the band’s brand of black metal does bear some semblance to certain sectors of their native land’s long-running and -esteemed scene, Celestial Grave largely unshackle themselves from “Finnish black metal” and locate a muse that’s uniquely focused and fiercely personal. Such was the case with the epic four-song Secular Flesh debut album in 2019, and now, three years later, that case is even stronger with their second album, Vitriolic Atonement.
