Ristampa 2023, gatefold sleeve con UV e vinile oro

The Massive 5th album from The Forefather of USBM- Out of Print for years!

Judas Iscariot's massive fifth album “Heaven in Flames”, originally released in 1999 on Red Stream Records and Out of Print for years, is finally available again! The forefather of US Black Metal, mastermind Akhenaten defined a sound that is still being copied today. Conceptually based on Nietzschean philosophies and filled with Nihilism and contempt for christianity, Judas Iscariot heralded a grim Black Metal sound from American shores years ahead of its time.

Judas Iscariot's revered catalog includes the Highlights “The Cold Earth Slept Below...” (1996), “Thy Dying Light” (1996), “Arise, My Lord…” 7” EP (1996), “Of Great Eternity” (1997), “Distant in Solitary Night” (1999), “Heaven in Flames” (1999/2023), “Dethroned, Conquered and Forgotten” MCD (2000/2023) “To Embrace the Corpses Bleeding” (2002/2023), “Moonlight Butchery” MCD (2002), in addition to multiple limited edition 7”Eps and split releases and the much sought after, coveted live album “Under the Black Sun” (2000), all of which solidified the band as America’s #1 Black Metal act to this day.

A milestone album for US Black Metal and a major influence on scene luminaries such as Xasthur, I Shalt Become, Leviathan and Krieg to name but a few. Bow to the master!

Official reissue in limited edition six panel Digipak Cd of the legendary Ep originally released in 1997 with restored original cover artwork and unreleased photos.

A masterpiece made of epic songs, furious harsh vocals, tight drumming and a strong romanticism which built the very essence of 90's Black Metal.

“Et Hav av Avstand" is the 8th full-length studio album from the legendary Norwegian Black Metal band Taake.

It consists of four songs clocking in at 42 minutes, displaying some of the finest songwriting yet from this epic one-man band.

Fierce, but melancholy. Vigorously old-school but also progressive. retaining that unfiltered sense of unique rawness that is synonymous with Hoest’s charismatic sound and musical identity.

Taake still manages to stay relevant and at the forefront of the genre and Hoest, who plays every instrument on the album, has ensured that the album is imbued with the unique Taake sound whilst at the same time developing it further.

This is unmistakably Taake, and as always, an intense work that surprises and enthrals.

Finnish cult Black Metal. Recorded at Fullmoon Studios in 2002/2003; additional mixing at Total Noise Studios (2003) and Pop Studios (2004).

This random colour mix allows you to have completely unique records within one order (each piece is one of a kind and the result is unpredictable, some copies coming with the predominance of one colour and others – totally different).
You can be sure the result will be similar to marble or smoked vinyl, but the rest is a mystery!

BLACK VINYL

Back in the mid 2000’s Norwegian Black Metal was but a faint memory. With the originators treading different paths from where it all started, a craving for what once was needed to be refueled. A small group of individuals from Trondheim, Nidaros found each other and reignited that flame. Through the same malicious intent of creating havoc yet again, distancing ourselves from the current Norwegian ‘scene’, the Nidrosian movement began. This was never meant to be a selling point, nor has it ever been a gang mentality.

It’s simply a handful very different individuals treading the same left hand path, dabbling with aspects of Black Metal unheard of since the glory days. I won’t go into details and incriminate people around me like a certain Count once did, but let’s just say the stories are endless and something we fondly look back at to this day, and dare I say the spirit of old still runs deeply through our veins.

The reason why all projects that flourished from our band of brothers sound different, yet firmly rooted in Black Metal, is due to each project having different masterminds. Everyone contributed by aiding each other. Several demos and projects arose, but one specifically stood out by far very early on. A project that to this day stands like a pillar of Norwegian Black Metal history; KAOSRITUAL.

The band was founded, rehearsed and recorded based off our interpretations of early 90’s Black Metal. The era of murder, arson, Black Magick and spite. I firmly believe what you hear on these recordings, are the same chaos that fueled the originators, and is as genuine as the old classics. I was sitting right there alongside H. "Sarath" Dalen, while he recorded this on tape in the basement of our record store Apocalyptic Empire, in the heart of Nidaros back in 2005. Reminiscing back, I’ll never forget the intense atmosphere, dedication and focus the band had, something I’ve never experienced since, just like their live shows. Nothing will ever compare. The store was very much exactly what Helvete was in the 90’s: a record store ran by us for us, with a basement where recordings were happening non stop, even during the opening hours. The basement was a collective ground for us where lifelong friendships arose, parties ensued, and inspirations were endless. Imagine locking up a bunch of miscreants devoted to the same cause, with no boundaries, no thought or respect for anyone, just all focused on one thing: BLACK METAL. This was always for ourselves, hence why releases are so sporadic. I am truly grateful to not only having been there throughout the beginning, but to have been granted the exclusive right to release several of these gems, and to be able to call these genuine artists and individuals my close friends to this day.

We present to you the restored version of the one and only KAOSRITUAL - Svøpt morgenrød, plus the infamous Rituell katarsis demo and more, remastered by our friend M. of MGLA/No Solace. A special thanks to him for adding his magick to these incredible recordings, and I want to personally thank Blix and Tvedt for letting me finally unleash this upon the world.
