Spawned in the Fall of 2011, Cosmic Death Metal initiates BLOOD INCANTATION, spent the past decade establishing a reputation for creating powerful Athmospheric Death Metal with progressive elements, while gradually incorporating more Psychedelic & Ambient components with each new release. The inevitable zenith of these increasingly exploratory excursions was finally reached during the summer of 2021 and captured once again on analog tape at World Famous Studios in Denver, Colorado. Epitomizing their Cosmic essence and Experimental nature, this new recording reveals an alternate dimension for experiencing the mind-bending songwriting of BLOOD INCANTATION´s dense & otherworldly sonic landscapes: Beyond the limitations of genre and free to travel among the stars. Echoes of TANGERINE DREAM, PINK FLOYD, LUSTMORD, POPOL VUH & DEAD CAN DANCE synthesize in an archaic planetarium soundtrack, taking the listener on a cinematic journey through the Stargate, into the vast darkness of Outer Space, and beyond the infinite transcendental luminosity of the Mind´s Eye.

Featuring six songs and 33 minutes of exclusive material, this special split album brings together two of Swedish black metal’s most elite names. VOODUS have been on a tear since their formation in 2015, releasing their massively acclaimed Into the Wild debut LP in 2018 through SHADOW as well as three EPs, with last year’s two-song/24-minute Open the Otherness displaying the band’s increasingly epic vision. Here with Ginnungagap, their half of the split, VOODUS continue to explore that epic vision with two mind-expanding songs combining for 17 minutes of obsidian majesty and malevolence: truly, this horde is on the rise. DOMGÅRD, by comparison, are veterans of the scene, forming in 1997 but delivering their debut album in 2010. However, from there, the band have released a steady stream of albums which retain an authentically late ‘90s vintage; oft unheralded, DOMGÅRD continue to create black metal of a superlative degree. With their half, Ljungeld Över Människan, DOMGÅRD present four tracks which ever so subtly expand upon their characteristic sound – searing execution stacked against sweeping dynamics, fog-choked atmosphere revealing bewitching melodicism – all of which further underline the band’s status as Sweden’s standard-bearers of vivid classicism.

With the CD version presenting both halves on their own disc, revel in the past NOW with VOODUS and DOMGÅRD’s respective Ginnungagap and Ljungeld Över Människan! 

As auspicious of a start as that split was, HINSIDES reveal the full depth of their depravity with the debut album Under Betlehems brinnande stjärna. Immediately and remorselessly is the listener attacked with a necro soundfield steeped in the earliest, most fiery birth-pangs of Scandinavian black metal. Peer within that piercing sound – if you can survive the initial onslaught, that is – and you’ll discover a wealth of fascinating and fearless twists to ancient black metal tropes. Paradoxically, HINSIDES here are more melodic and magisterial than even hinted at on that preceding split; fluid like an ever-flowing stream, the riffing is harsh yet finessed, evincing an eerily hummable quality that only intensifies the strangeness Under Betlehems brinnande stjärna presents. Suitably, mainman M.A.’s vocals are unhinged and utterly feral, in no uncertain terms imparting pure devil-worship and archaic witchcraft. Which is to say nothing of the unique(ly haunting) integration of church bells…all put in service of Him.
 

Five track mini-album of all-consuming darkness from the Italian black metal legends, Mortuary Drape. 

Mixing the best elements of classic and doom metal, Wisdom - Vibration - Repent includes a cover of Mercyful Fate's Nightmare Be Thy Name.
