Mike Lamb (Sojourner) and Heike Langhans (Sojourner, ex-Draconian) are back with their personal gothic/doom project, Remina. The duo’s sophomore album, The Silver Sea, will follow their 2022 debut Strata and will be released on October 24th 2025 on CD and digital, once again via Avantgarde Music. Here follows the band’s statement.
The Silver Sea was written over the three year period following the release of our debut album Strata, and it is the product of the changes we experienced as both a band and on a personal level.
Remina took to the stage for the first time in 2023, and through this process we got to spend a lot of time in beautiful northern Italy bringing to life live versions of our songs with our excellent live lineup. The process of seeing how our sound translated to a live setting ultimately impacted how we approached this album. We didn't want to deviate from our vision for the band or the sound, but we did incorporate a much more musically 'direct' approach in the way the songs were written this time around. This was helped massively by the excellent drum tracking of Shayne Roos, who lifted our original ideas to an entirely new level. We are also honored to be joined by guest vocal spots from two musicians we greatly look up to, Mick Moss of Antimatter (Algol) and Tony Dunn of Sgàile (Vanta Ray).
On a personal level, we were dealing with the decision of having to uproot our lives in Europe and move back to New Zealand to be closer to family. The weight of the decision to move across the world, so far from the lives we had built, was reflected in the overarching themes and atmosphere of the album. While each song deals with its own subject matter, there is an overarching story running throughout as an invisible thread tying the album together.

Finnish black metal returns in full force: cold, melodic, aggressive. A new chapter begins with sharpened songwriting, haunting hooks, and anthems of suffering, isolation & decay
ANFAUGLIR was forged by US multi-instrumentalists Lord Bauglir and Griss as an exploration in storytelling through epic symphonic Black Metal. Based upon the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the duo aim to match the source material's scope and grandeur with unique cinematic compositions which transport listeners directly to Middle-earth.
Originally active 2004-2010, when they released cult 2008 debut album "Hymns over Anfauglith", ANFAUGLIR are now resurrected in glorious style to unleash a new suite of rousing, emotive and triumphant longform manifestations of a legendary mystical world.
Avoiding traditional song structures, the immaculately-produced new opus "Akallabêth" - meaning 'The Downfallen' in Adûnaic, the language of Tolkein's Númenoreans - is written and arranged in the vein of a traditional classical symphony. Themes and melodies develop, recur and transform, entwining delicately rapturous motifs with violent tragedy through the vastness of multi-layered orchestration, choral majesty, evocative chamber-work and sweeping Black Metal.
"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.

The eponymous Sorcier Des Glaces album, the 7th in the chronology, tells the beginning of the story:
why Sorcier Des Glaces became the way he did, his growing hatred for the human race, the spirit of a rebellion that unleashed his sorcery on this world. The ultimate sacrifice of his immortality for the preservation of a hostile, ancient and icy universe over which he alone has absolute control.
This monolith was composed as a single 50-minute song.
"Nechrist" is probably the most peculiar record in Nokturnal Mortum's catalogue, simply because it's different from anything else they've done.
This is by far their angriest, fastest, darkest and most aggressive record, and as such it's often labelled as "messy" or "chaotic": while it might result a bit difficult to digest during the first listens, "Nechrist" is a grower, and its beauty will slowly unfold to the listener each time he comes back to it.
The album's production is quite raw, making a bit difficult to distinguish the fastest guitar patterns at times; the riffs generally consist in the traditional black metal tremolo picked frenzy, although slower sections are obviously present, with some interesting bridges here and there (the "breakdown" found at the end of "Night Before the Fight" is simply amazing).
The bass isn't always audible, but where you can hear it you can say its patterns are definitely interesting.
The drumming is astonishing, a real storm of blast beats and relentless double bass drumming, thus confirming Munruthel as the most technical drummer this band has ever laid its hands on.
Re-issue with the complete updated layout, remastered by the band itself, the most angry and furious album of the band.
Official reissue of the majestic and melancholic masterpiece “A Requiem For The Light”.
An immersive journey into Atmospheric Black Metal, where ghostly melodies drift through the void,and tortured whispers echo like forgotten prayers. Cold, emotional, and otherworldly… a requiem carved in silence and sorrow.
Available in Digipak Cd, strictly limited to 300 copies.
