The Spearwound Salvation blisters forth with an incredibly ripped-raw style of black metal that possesses a poignant, magical sort of melodicism. At once familiar and foreign, ULTRA SILVAM attack with urgency and emotion but always with an palpably human touch that spits in the face of so much sterile "extreme metal." Every ringing chord, every bashed drum, every slaughtered tongue: each and every note and movement across the album bleeds an authenticity that's refreshing to behold. And yet, that would all be for naught if the band didn't possess commensurate songwriting chops - and indeed they do here, all seven songs making swift, enviously compact work within The Spearwound Salvation's 28 minutes. Many of these riffs will possess you for days, if not weeks or months or... 

For nearly a decade now, selfsame mainman Wulkanaz - mastermind Wagner Ödegård (aka Komulonimbus) - has pursued a singular, idiosyncratic vision of black metal across myriad demos, EPs, and splits. WULKANAZ's three albums to date, however, have been become cult classics among the diehards brave enough to behold the mainman's visions, and those visions have reached a fever pitch with the band's new self-titled album. 

SHADOW RECORDS is proud to present ULTRA SILVAM's striking debut album, The Spearwound Salvation, on CD, LP, and cassette tape formats.

Reign in Supreme Darkness is essentially an intensification and consolidation of Netherstorm's most enduring traits, expanding the band's lexicon by basically speaking it more boldly than before. Still a swarming, densely layered maelstrom of medieval majesty and moonlit madness, here VARGRAV heightens the drama that's latently laid at the band's core, focusing the attack into more finessed form, and stripping away some of its predecessor's more blizzard-blown excesses. In their stead arrives a more dynamic approach to songwriting, varying tempos while maximizing movement, and an overall more mournful and mysterious aspect to the prominent layers of synth. 

Ossuaire emerges anew as the grandiose and impetuous first chapter of a concept spawning two albums and recounting the major events contributing to the downfall of christianity and the rise of heresy resounds. Ossuaire delivers a resolutely unwholesome breed of Black Metal, both corrosive and melodic, bestowing upon this offering an aura that is as dark as it is authentic.

Formed in 2013 and promptly getting to work on a split tape and two successive demos, GOATHAMMER have been a study of staunch underground ethics from the very beginning. Theirs is a sound that's steeped in decades of arcane black/death wisdom, canvassing an array of eras and international flavors whilst being finessed into foul, filthy form by true fanatics. 

Old Star displays a mastery of the art of the riff, with its 6 epic tracks taking in the best of the old school of Heavy and Extreme Metal combined with a large dose of Doom channelled through the grime of the underground.
