Pagan / Viking metal berserkers COLD NORTHERN VENGEANCE create kaleidoscopic landscapes of majesty and melancholy, storm and shelter. The vision of chieftain Heathen, “Maelstrom” picks up where 2008's cult classic “Domination and Servitude” left off: rolling, churning layers of mystifying, hypnotizing tones, all harnessed in a revelatory and Odinistic manner. But here, CNV digs deeper into their pagan roots, plumbing the dark, alluring depths for a resonance rarely found in American metal.

A noir soundtrack for an imaginary film...moody, pensive and very atmospheric...beautifully constructed soundscape that reminded me a little of John Cage's 'The City Wears A Slouched Hat'...
Invisible landscape - the debut album - is a conceptual work, an imaginary soundtrack that traces the story created by 10 pictures by the Portuguese photographer, José Ramos. It's an experimental project that extends itself through innumerous musical styles: from Classical music to Post Rock, going through soundscapes, electronica, etc

Hexvessel have been a long time in the making. For more than a decade, their frontman, Kvohst, has been dabbling in forms of avant-garde black metal. Boasting acts like Dodheimsgard and Code, Kvohst's very distinct vocals were what set him apart from many other vocalists. He had a unique way of delivering his lyrics, bending the pitch in his voice and experimenting with atmosphere. Contrasting with often fierce black metal, his vocals would stand out as pure, but unsettling. With the black metal element removed, and a lot more freedom, Kvohst and his band release some of their best work to date.

SKUGGSJÁ is the epic sound of Norway's Norse history as told through harder music by Ivar Bjørnson (ENSLAVED) and Einar Selvik (WARDRUNA). Written by Bjørnson and Selvik for the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian Constitution, SKUGGSJÁ tells the history of Norway to the present day by highlighting ideas, traditions and instruments of their Norse past. In a magnificent tapestry of metal instrumentation, a wide variety of Norway and Scandinavia’s oldest instruments, and poetry in Proto-Scandinavian, Norse and Norwegian, SKUGGSJÁ fuses past and present, both lyrically and musically, and reflects on themselves as a people and nation.
Second EP of one of Portugal's most promising new bands, OCERCO's A Desolação. Set to be released as a special digifile CD nest, limited to 500 copies, A Desolação comprises three seamlessly linked songs of splendor and tension, trance and catharsis. OCERCO's sound stems from the post-black metal canon, but safely eludes the negative connotations associated with such an appellation. More accurately, the band's commitment to textural development and labyrinthine, drawn-out construction signal a strive for more complex corridors of spirituality. From there, A Desolação explodes and recoils, twists and turns, always bathed in an aura of the unknown and unease - and yet, its complexities are ever so subtle and most rewarding. Listeners will find a kinship to bands like Wolves in the Throne Rome, Altar of Plagues, Ash Borer, and the likes, but across the 20 minutes here, OCERCO stake a claim for their own identity.

Melbourne, Australia’s INVERLOCH, featuring 2/4 of the legendary diSEMBOWELMENT return with one of the most anticipated full-length debuts the metal underground has seen in years. After releasing a highly lauded EP in 2012, INVERLOCH have created another masterpiece with Distance l Collapsed, a 5 song, 40 minute LP of absolutely crushing death/doom. Buzzsaw death metal riffs and bowel splitting vocals mix alongside earth shaking dirges and blasting percussion, all wrapped together in a haunting yet beautifully dreadful atmosphere.
