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.
A thunderous metal assault is what Deströyer 666 delivers again with this advance track and sing-along banger from the 2022 album “Never Surrender”. The EP includes also the exclusive song “Death In Berlin”.
The second part of the Djevel trilogy, the 8th album.
With a new vitality, Djevel returned with last years acclaimed "Tanker som rir natten", a mesmerizing and epic piece of work, pushing the boundaries for the band and its new line-up. "Naa Skrider Natten Sort" is the natural continuation,
thematically its the second part of the trilogy about the night and all what it represents, but also a work with more contrast and variation.

Winterlong, the psychedelic new album from Executioner’s Mask is set for release on Profound Lore Records. An epic bouquet of swelling synths, hypnotic melodies, and noisy guitars marry post-punk and shoegaze in ten songs exploring themes of liberation and self-destruction in these end-times. In the studio, the core group of Gambit, Mickle and Wilson added Christian Molenaar into the fold on synths, adding an ethereal edge to the band’s hard-driving melancholy. Additional touches were added by Kennedy Ashlyn (SRSQ) and Jake Superchi (Uada, Ceremonial Castings), their distinct sonic fingerprints sending the compositions further into territories unexplored.
Featuring production from Jeff Zeigler (The War On Drugs) and Ryan Schwabe (Oneohtrix Point Never), Winterlong is the type of sublime and immersive album that inspires the same visions often conjured by masters like The National, Alcest and Deerhunter. On stage, Gambit, Mickle, and Molenaar are joined by Anthony Charletta on bass, Melissa Lochambon on drums, and Daniel Gaona on guitar to create an explosive force of sound that come together with the potency of Children Of God-era Swans.
Expanding on the kaleidoscope of ambition, expect to see re-mixes of the album released in a series of their own by an ensemble cast that features members of Deafheaven, Full Of Hell, No Joy, Xiu Xiu, and The Armed amongst an army of others. The first of these Winterlong re-mix albums will be released as a bonus disc that will come with the CD release, mastered by Angel Marcloid (aka Fire-Toolz).
"Les Brumes Éternelles" is an EP divided in 2 chapters of 18 minutes each. The first one is atmospheric black metal with N&N's unique sonorities. Juno-60 sounds intertwined with bleack and distant melodies, creating a sonic storm over which Spiritus screams its invocations. The second part is an echo from the first. An alternative elite dark ambient take which is sure going to be the perfect soundtrack for the coming long winter nights.
Slovak quintet Aeon Winds is back with a new offering to the altar of atmospheric black metal: three years after the acclaimed Stormveiled, the Bratislava-based band is about to release their new EP, Extinguishing The Light.
The concept of Extinguishing The Light is a musical fusion of melancholic moods with atmospheric black metal, and the lyrics directly follow the message born by Stormveiled.
The five brand new tracks by Aeon Winds present a unified concept of ancient history and mythological imagery drawn from Slovak folklore abstractly expressed through metaphors and lyrical imagery.
