ringing together two of Finnish black metal hottest / coldest newcomers, Kaksi liekkiä Saatanalle is pure nastiness distilled into 20 tundra-deep minutes; with two songs a piece here, both AESTHUS and SIELUHAASKA delivered debut albums under the banner of PURITY THROUGH FIRE in 2022 and 2023, respectively. AESTHUS are up first, and whip forth the freezing filth which made their Hänen temppelinsä varjoissa so celebrated in the underground. No more but definitely no less, the quintet stick to classic Finnish black metal in the turn-of-the-millennium tradition, here arguably sounding both more melodic and frantic than said debut album. SIELUHAASKA, for their part, put a more measured twist on Finnish black metal - pensive, anguished, and strangely anthemic - with their Kun aurinkoni kuoli debut, and here continue their hypnotic ways with even more anguish and arguably more mesmerizing gait. Almost honorarily Teutonic by design, their folkish fire might remind of Finnish dark horses like Noenum or Mortualia. Kaksi liekkiä Saatanalle proves, once again, it's always darkest up north...

Much as its title forecasts, I Skyggen mellom liv og død
brings together two Norwegian black metal entities: SOLUS GRIEF, with whom PURITY THROUGH FIRE followers should know from their two albums in as many years, and ALTERTUM; both bands' respective mainmen shared a split album, Ulf's Keptr, shared a split year with their other respective bands UNHOLY CRAFT and VORGFANG. Here, SOLUS GRIEF continue their ascent / descent with two 10-minute tracks (and joining instrumental) that see mainman Peregrinus returning to a more anguished, almost-DSBM sound that nevertheless evinces unique traits - among them, a guitar tone alternately rippling / clanging, an attention to ever-so-tense dynamics, and a superbly "live" feel for an otherwise-one-man band. It's unsurprising, then, that these three throwback-to-1995 tracks were written & recorded during this past winter. For his part, ALTERTUM mainman Lord G also wrote & recorded his four tracks here during that same winter, and it shows: a cryogenic blast of ancient northern darkness, violent and spectral in equal measure. It's not so much that these four ALTERTUM songs evoke deja vu - one can hear symphonic shades of very earliest Limbonic Art, Obtained Enslavement, and Norway's Troll as well as the rawest pulse of Hat-era Gorgoroth, the cult Kvist, and even Ulver's Nattens Madrigal - but these blizzard-blown coordinates are rearranged in such a manner that they become a new destination in itself, nostalgic and without time simultaneously. I Skyggen mellom liv og død is against the modern world!

Inspired by hatred and some of the vilest and darkest Metal of the 80s, Sweden`s most demented twins, Hellbutcher and Tyrant, came up with their only demo Unholy Death, spawned in hell in 1993.

Although the tracks immortalized on this demo are poorly recorded and rather amateurishly performed they already and unmistakenly bear some of the trademarks the band would come to be worshipped for. Hellbutcher`s insane, utterly
possessed screams and their songwriting talent and sense for melody turn the demo into a must-have not only for loyal worshippers of the band but for anyone into early SODOM, early BATHORY or TREBLINKA.

Especially for this compilation, NIFELHEIM unearthed several gems from their archive which turn this release into something truly extraordinary:
On top of the 4 songs from the demo-tape this compilation features 4 other original songs, 2 intros and 2 covers (MOTÖRHEAD and BATHORY) from the same recording-session.
In total, Unholy Death consists of 12 titles with a running time of almost 40 minutes.

Luxurious hardcover digibook measuring about 14×14 cm.
It contains the interview and many never before-seen pictures spread over a 30 pages booklet.

After having caused a great stir with their self-titled debut, on Devil`s Force from 1998 the swedish savages don`t stray one inch from their path.
NIFELHEIM`s second full-length picks up the smouldering rubble from the debut and takes their unmistakable style up a notch.
Aided by a slightly fuller but still gritty production, the album is a bludgeoning beast of dirty metal infused with lethal doses of satanic insanity.
Filled to the brim with memorable songs Devil`s Force is yet again an outright success and an indispensable underground-classic.

A very in-depth interview with Tyrant and Hellbutcher highlighting the early days of the band until their last opus „Envoy Of Lucifer“ was also conducted for these reissues.
You can read parts of this interview in the corresponding releases as well you will find many unseen pictures and material from the band in the large booklets for every title.

Influenced by Thrash Metal Royalties Slayer, Kreator, Destruction and Exodus'earlier works, ETERNAL EVIL was formed in Stockholm - Sweden in 2019. The band has intended to carry on the legacy of early High energy early Classic Thrash insanity.

Reissue of the debut Yoth Iria EP including new artwork and a bonus track. Jewelcase CD with booklet. Limited to 500 copies worldwide.

Yoth Iria is the brainchild of Greek black metal veterans Jim Mutilator and The Magus - the duet which developed and pioneered the underground scene back in the day. Originally released in January 2020, “Under His Sway” was the duet’s first release. It was an initial taste of what’s to come from the duo that developed and pioneered the underground scene back in the day: a grand blend of heavy/doom and epic black metal that travels the underground into dark realms and silent hills. A year later, the band released the debut full-length album “As the Flame Withers” via Pagan Records to critical acclaim and what many would consider as one of the most important metal albums of 2021.
