With their seventh full-length entitled "Narkissos", FORTÍÐ have finally delivered a masterpiece that should easily make it into the top part of those end of the year lists. The Icelandic trio has not even changed much, they are just doing everything even better than before. FORTÍÐ forge melodic riffing from black, death, thrash, and heavy metal threads into one sharp weapon. The Icelanders don't care about any particular genre, but focus entirely on writing excellent songs. As a result "Narkissos" features nine catchy and fiery metal anthems. FORTÍÐ determined the musical coordinates of their long journey with the ambitious "Völuspá" album trilogy, which was released from 2003 to 2010. Their early combination of harsh black and death metal riffing with a pinch of thrash and a penchant for epic melodies, versatile vocals as well as a heavy dose of "Icelandic sound" was continuously refined on the acclaimed "Pagan Prophecies" (2012) full-length and the following "9" (2015) album. With the dark and deadly "World Serpent" (2020), FORTÍÐ charted the current course that led via the two-track EP "Dómur um dauðan hvern" (2022) straight to "Narkissos". Lyrically, FORTÍÐ remain on an Old Norse and pagan course. Guðmundsson has woven a yarn in a Nordic context about a character with the so-called narcissistic personality disorder that runs as a red thread through "Narkissos". FORTÍÐ present a contemporary metal album that is both musically and lyrically taking the Icelanders to a new peak, and by firmly placing substance over style will find its audience.
“Ruiner” the new full-length LP from time-honored US black metal entity KRIEG will see its release on Oct 13. “Ruiner” is the first full-length from the cult US black metal force since 2014’s “Transient” and is a despondent expression that captures the classic KRIEG complexion which has solidified KRIEG as a vanguard and pioneer of US black metal.
Even though “Ruiner” is the first KRIEG full-length album in nine years, KRIEG has continued to remain active leading up to its long-awaited release through various splits, collabs and EPs. This all culminated in that moment for “Ruiner” to ultimately manifest itself.
“Ruiner” is unrepentant and remorseless black metal in the reflective manner KRIEG and mastermind N. Jameson have always been known for. Most-notably that of the savage and unhinged aura present in the triarchy of classic KRIEG works, namely “Destruction Ritual” (2001), “The Black House” (2004), and “Blue Miasma” (2006) while maintaining that harsh, sorrowful and cold-blooded melancholic aura.
SPECIAL PREORDER PRICE: after 30/09 price will be increased and set to 13.00€
Voidescent is a Spanish black metal band that originated under the name Andhord. Having released a series of independent demos and EPs, the band underwent a significant artistic transformation to embrace a new chapter in their musical exploration, reflecting a deeper commitment to a darker and more mature concept. This evolution was initially announced in 2018 with the digital release of their first EP, Eleven Into Nox, and has now culminated in their debut album, Dust and Embers.
Dust and Embers is a musical exploration that delves into the mystical realm of mortality and introspection. With their debut, Voidescent weaves a narrative that embraces the awe-inspiring force of death, inviting listeners to contemplate its profound teachings and crushing might.
Within the sharp destructive melodies and piercing lyrics of Dust and Embers lies a transformative journey. It traverses the depths of human existence, unraveling the enigmatic nature of mortality and the profound lessons where life and death intertwine. It prompts introspection, urging us to explore the mysteries of our own existence and contemplate the timeless truths that lie within the realms of our own consciousness.
Voidescent beckons those who are intrigued by the mystical aspects of existence, inspiring them to explore the profound depths of destructive transformation
Australian experimental metal band Bolt Gun return with their 3rd full length album The Tower. Since their first release in 2014, Bolt Gun have continued to push the boundaries of heavy music, adopting a semi-improvised style that combines elements of black metal, post-metal, noise and dark ambient.
The Tower is inspired by the literary works of Brian Evenson, Franz Kafka and Shirley Jackson and explores themes of isolation, extinction, absurdity and nihilism. Written throughout 2020 to 2022, the album expands on Bolt Gun’s interest in the dynamic possibilities of using ambient music within extreme metal.
The expansive tracks pull listeners into tornadoes of drone, noise and saxophone which then explode into more post-metal/black metal sounds. The music on The Tower is heavily influenced by 2nd wave black metal, experimental heavy bands such as Locrian and Swans in addition to the work of Colin Stetson and Bohren & der Club of Gore.

Based out of the frigid capital of the colonial state known as Canada, Dismal Aura surfaced with their self-released debut, Praeagia Tristia in 2021. The trio blend second-wave black metal with crust punk and grind elements, an offering as bleak and chilling as it is melodic and impassioned.
Composed of members with diverse cultural backgrounds and lived experiences, Dismal Aura explores socio-political topics such as colonialism, state-terror, and environmental destruction.
Produced by Topon Das (Fuck the Facts, Gorguts) and Mike Bond (Crusades, Loviatar), the band’s sophomore album was recorded in deep winter forest of Wolf Lake Studios.
Inspired by the essay Necropolitics by Achille Mbembe, Imperium Mortalia spans eight compositions that reckon with the grim relationship between the individual and the state, the exploitative nature of power, and the reduction of human life to commodity.

Grift’s fourth studio album, “Dolt land” (‘Hidden land’), is a profound exploration of humankind’s bond with nature. With folkloric sounds and heartfelt lyrics, the multidisciplinary Swedish music project takes listeners on a journey into the heart of the wild.
“Dolt land” diverges from the more metal-oriented “Budet” (2020); instead, it continues the acoustic approach of the EPs “Vilsna andars boning” (2018) and “Vilsna andars utmark” (2022). Like the aforementioned two seven-inches, “Dolt land” pays homage to Kinnekulle - a mountain whose nature, legends, and traditions have served as Grift’s main source of inspiration since the project’s conception in 2011.Erik plays all the instruments himself - including acoustic guitar, melodica, glockenspiel, analogue synth, and percussion - and has also sampled nature sounds to create a truly immersive listening experience. Soothing and stirring, yet still feral and untamed; Grift’s evocative music will resonate with fans of Sangre de Muerdago, Anna von Hausswolff, and Nebelung.
