Olio Tähtien Takana is one of the artistic expressions of Finnish multi-instrumentalist v-KhaoZ (Vargrav, Druadan Forest and many others), here joined in his artistic endeavour by singer Hellwind Inferion (Desolate Shrine, Sargeist).

Spectral Katharsis is the third album by Olio Tähtien Takana, and is described by Hellwind with a series of key terms: “Cosmic, majestic misanthropy and ultimate devil worship”. Expect fury, rage and patterns of keyboards to surround you and bring you on your journey through the cosmos.

On the musical side of things, v-KhaoZ says: “We wanted something different than our other bands, a more straightforward, yet melodic approach. To this we added a varied singing style and otherworldly, space-like keyboards, to reach the multidimensionality we were aiming for”. Spectral Katharsis will tickle fans of Limbonic Art, Odium and the mid-’90s symphonic black metal scene.

The band's very name is probably the best expression to describe what v.KhaoZ and Hellwind Inferion are trying to accomplish with their collaboration, as Olio Tähtien Takana is Finnish for 'A Creature Beyond the Stars'.

With its inception in New York City in 2018, Morbid Sphere was born an heir to the location's long legacy of dark and oppressive death metal. Among its primary influences, the band perhaps unsurprisingly mentions Incantation, fellow denizens of the same depraved metropolis whose well-established and recognizable body of work is reflected in Morbid Sphere's initial recordings. Said parallel aside, this relatively newfound quartet's sound has been shaped by a variety of influences that give it multiple dimensions and thus distinguish it from what one might be led to expect based simply on its place of origin and assigned subgenre. Similarly to the legendary Disembowelment of a continent far-removed, Morbid Sphere takes advantage of the space between notes and beats just as effectively as it conjures those elements themselves. The band also reaches outside the typical boundaries of death metal in drawing inspiration from the works of Ved Buens Ende and Virus, in particular through its use of progressive and unorthodox melodic ideas.

Hailing from the thriving-yet-oft-overlooked Spanish black metal scene, Beyond Death's Throne were founded in 2018 in Llavorsí, Catalan Pyrenees by Kzanhagr and M.Ptah.Smrt, members of Arkhaeth, Necroracle, and other related projects. The duo's debut recording, Haphazard Ethos, comprises four epic tracks for a total of 27 minutes, praising and hailing those who still believe that the past is alive, and will certainly live forever in the dark and torturous mind of Beyond Death's Throne!

KOSMIK TOMB is the brainchild of A (NACHASH, HIDEOUS DEATH), who creates both music and lyrics, as well as handling all instruments. Origins of the Horror feels like a trip through an alternate universe where unspeakable creatures dwell. There's a Lovecraftian vibe throughout and the atmosphere is thick with the kind of despair one would experience in an alien world with no shred of hope.
