Mara Comes and Darkness Shall Reign is conceptual opus explores the multifaceted nature of darkness—both internal and cosmic. Musically, it expands the band’s signature style, merging atmospheric black metal with melodic and post-black elements. The result is a richly textured soundscape of haunting beauty, featuring ritualistic passages, soaring melodic solos, and a dynamic interplay of vocal contrasts. With this album, the musicians boldly push genre boundaries, crafting a profound and evocative listening experience that resonates long after the final note fades.

Darkenhöld emerged in 2008 as a trio composed of Aldébaran, Cervantes and Aboth, with the ambition of creating a melodic, epic, atmospheric Black Metal imbued with the spirit of the 90s from which the band has always drawn most of its influences. The band's universe was established from the beginning around a dreamlike medieval imagination, roaming the deep forests, high mountains and mysterious caves of the South-East of France where the band is from. The old stones of fortified castles, fantastic bestiaries, tales and legends, the dense and complex landscapes of the Côte d'Azur are the sources of inspiration for a Black Metal that first stood out with the release of two self-produced split-CDs in 2009, mixing covers with original compositions. Introducing the group's emblematic animal, the Wyvern, and laying the first foundations of its universe, they prepared the ground for the release of a first album, "A passage to the towers...", released in 2010. The group would then release a second album, defended throughout a French tour, before introducing the French language in its third album, "Castellum", which would open new horizons for them. The release in 2017 of their fourth album, "Memoria Sylvarum", released as a self-production, would see the group access larger stages, culminating in a well-received performance at Hellfest in 2018. The year 2020 marked a further step with the signing of the group to the label "Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions" and the release of their fifth album, "Arcanes et Sortilèges".

Catchy, filthy and gore, just what you can expect from SAIDAN. This single encompasses an epic cyberpunk interpretation of raging black metal. Taken from the same Onryo II recording sessions, this exclusive track has not been released on vinyl before. The B-side features a live rehearsal recording of the track "I am the witch" and showcases what great live band SAIDAN is.

*Chasm of Immurement, the Debut Full-Length from Clairvoyance, features six tracks of extremely rotten gut-wrenching Death / Doom Metal! Poland’s Clairvoyance was forged in late 2019 by vocalist Maciej Cesarczyk and guitarist Denis Didenko. Taking inspiration mostly from Finnish and American bands from the ‘90s, the duo eventually locked into a classic Death Metal sound, then rounded out their lineup by recruiting drummer Adrian Szczepański and bassist Jasiek Kraciuk. The quartet quickly conjured a three-song demo in May of 2020, which was received positively both locally and internationally, seeing a Cassette release through Caligari Records, while Behind The Mountain released the 7” vinyl edition. For the next two years Clairvoyance would gain notability within Warsaw’s Death Metal Underground, especially after the release of their Threshold Of Nothingness EP (Blood Harvest - 2022). Clairvoyance returned to the studio again in the Summer of 2024 to record their long overdue debut LP, “Chasm Of Immurement”. By upping the intensity and the aggressiveness of their sound, the band hopes to start a new chapter in their journey and to show their listeners what Clairvoyance was truly meant to be. “Chasm Of Immurement” was Recorded and Engineered by Clairvoyance guitarist Kacper Pawluk, Mixed by Pawluk and Piotrek Polak, and Mastered by Polak.
