The long-awaited new full-length album from the Apocalyptic Funeral Doom Metal entity “Omination” is upon us!

An absolute mammoth of a record, “NGR” (The New Golgotha Repvbliq) contains over an hour of some of the most encapsulating and ominous funeral doom metal to come out in quite some time. Combining abrasive and dissonant riffs with a shroud of atmospheric and monumental church organ and choirs, the instrumental aspect of this record is already massive, which is only enhanced by Fedor’s forceful growls, belted with conviction and strength.

The music and overall atmosphere of Omination is derived from the last cathedral, preached by the prophesying wanderer. Originally started as a solo project from Fedor Kovalevsky (Vielikan, Severe Agony), Omination enters 2021 as a full band set to prophesize our downfall.

Something dark, melancholic, and at times even sinister is haunting each of the eight tracks collected on NOÊTA's sophomore full-length, "Elm", which is lyrically based loosely on emotions connected to the eponymous poem by the celebrated American writer Sylvia Plath. The music of the Swedish duo comes with an inherent ethereal beauty, which is carried by Êlea's both lucent and lucid voice. The focus on the singer's bewitching vocals is further underlined by a subtle and nearly minimalistic instrumentation by her long-time collaborator Andris, who masterly captures and enhances the musical moods.

Taking their name from the ancient Greek philosophical notion of universal thoughts or ideas that exist independently of any agent having them, NOÊTA embark on their musical journey into the otherworld with the highly praised 2015 EP "psykhē", which also refers to classical Greek philosophy where it denotes the wholeness of a person. This was followed by the equally acclaimed debut album "Beyond Life and Death" in 2017, which added more depth and audible confidence to the duo's compositions.

With the recording, production and mix again firmly controlled by NOÊTA, mastering of "Elm" was for the first time left to the expert hands of Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio (MAYHEM, WATAIN). Guest contributions by KNOKKELKLANG and P.Stille of STILLA and BERGRAVEN also hint to Êlea's roots in black metal that remain present although her darkness takes a different stylistic direction.

"Elm" witnesses NOÊTA charting their very own left hand course through the rising tide of unique female artists such as CHELSEA WOLFE, ANNA VON HAUSSWOLFF or EMMA RUTH RUNDLE to name but a few of the highly individual female voices claiming their territory in the world of dark music.

“Hädangången” (meaning “death” in old Swedish) is an hour-long collection of 11 songs building on the blend of savage punk- and soaring atmospheric black metal as previously heard on “Att Öde Vara”, Svältvinters latest release from 2018. Reflecting the album title, the lyrical themes conceptualize death through lenses of environmental destruction, natural cycles, social erosion, spirituality and more. Recorded in the fall of 2019, with songs written as far back as 2015, this debut album serves to cement the sound of Svältvinter and provide a solid ground for future releases.

On WINDIR’s fourth and final full-length ‘Likferd’ (2003), many of the folk elements that characterized the band’s previous records were pushed to the background in favor of a stronger black metal influence.

The last record that Valfar wrote before he passed, ominously translated as ‘funeral’, marked a change to a much darker and brooding atmosphere. While ‘Likferd’ has mostly remained in the shadows of ‘Arntor’ and ‘1184’, it is an album that saw WINDIR mature and for that reason is another important chapter of the band’s legacy.

WINDIR’s third record ‘1184’ (2001) marked a stylistic change from its predecessor.
While the album is still very much rooted in black metal and heavily breathes atmosphere, Valfar and co-songwriter Hvall stared experimenting with electronic influences. Because of this, the album provoked mixed reactions upon its release.
Now, 20 years after its original release, ‘1184’ is seen as the album that pushed WINDIR to new creative heights and regarded by many fans as their absolute best.

t has been seven long years since the world was last blessed with new music from the melodic blackened death metal stalwarts of NIGHTFALL, but now the band is plotting a triumphant return with ‘At Night We Prey’, the darkest and latest chapter of NIGHTFALL’s already storied career.

‘At Night We Prey’ is a very dark and personal effort, tackling the topic of frontma, Efthimis Karadimas’s battle with depression. “A beast I have experienced its teeth deep into my soul, I decided to come out and share that experience with metalheads,” Karadimas laments. “This is the least I can offer now to the big fight against depression. If we don’t stop this, it will eat us all alive. Share your pain, speak openly about it. This is the only way to kill the demons in your mind.”
