Germany s finest one man Black Metal band, The Ruins Of Beverast, unique third full length album, Foulest Semen Of A Sheltered Elite finds Alexander von Meilenwald deriving influence from a vast and deep cauldron of sources, but still remaining fresh and blacker than Black. Slow, bombastic, heavy, bold, crashing, chants, rasps, snarls, melody, chilling, haunting, atmospheric and powerful. An 80 minute opus that very well may be insight into the future of Black Metal

"Dear disciples of the Great Old Ones, dear offsprings of their greatness! For over 20 years lost in the Endless meanders of outer space, far from men's Devious existence, worshippers of their own Decline... I've been working, dead but dreaming, on the creation of a new Requiem beyond Light and Shadows. From my cosmic journey, a circle of four hateful bringers of blasphemy has been gathered to bring 8 Symbols of slimy and crawling ocular distorted art so called "black metal", the way it shall be... Today, with malicious pride, we bring you, dear disciples and dear toys, what many of you have been asking for these past two decades. And no one was better suited to bring this nightmare to your innocent ears and to sublimate it than the nonetheless well-known Ludovic Tournier who gave its final form to this new Stone, achieved and erected in 20 years from the Echoes of painful torments. A final shape of a nightmare that has gone through many manifestations... The chaos starts again exactly where it left off... Dear disciples, dear puppets, I have the great honor to introduce you to the new form of an old succubus: OMEGAETERNUM May the Incantation begin... Spread their wrath!"

There are few funeral doom bands out there that manage to express sorrow and despair in such a majestic and beautiful manner as SHAPE OF DESPAIR. The Finns’ latest full-length is a product of their environment, enveloping the listener in cold, eternal darkness like a lonely Finnish winter. And much like the long, funereal winters of their homeland, the atmosphere in ‘Return to the Void’ is bleak but ethereal. The funeral doom icons do not merely offer a soundtrack to one’s agony, but also demonstrate the beauty that can often be found in misery.

For fans of FUNERAL, MOURNFUL CONGREGATION, BELL WITCH, AHAB, EVOKEN.
