ENSLAVED è una delle migliori band della scena METAL norvegese, un gruppo che negli anni ha evoluto il proprio stile da un BLACK VIKING METAL cattivissimo ad una sorta di PROGRESSIVE EXTREME METAL con atmosfere EPIC e PSYCHEDELIC. Questo CD contiene le registrazioni del mitico secondo demo tape del 1992, nastro che fruttò agli Enslaved il contratto con l’ etichetta Deathlike Silence.. ed il resto è storia !
Nel CD troverete una BONUS TRACK, testi e note scritte dai membri del gruppo.

Marking 35 years of Sigh, a 2025 fully re-recorded edition of the band’s classic 2007 opus, Hangman’s Hymn (the band’s first concept album).

The resulting work is by far the fiercest, most brutal, and most symphonic Sigh album to date.

Blackened Thrash meets Classical music.

From moniker to visual aesthetic and especially to the sonics themselves, HERALDIC BLAZE are encapsulating the oft-nebulous "medieval black metal" idiom with startling aplomb. While it's often difficult to discern exactly what medieval BM is other than a pithy "I know it when I hear it," HERALDIC BLAZE leave no doubt as to their intentions.

Witness their debut demo, Blazoned Heraldry. The duo of American multi-instrumentalist Argent Pale (vocals, bass, flute) and Norwegian guitarist Peregrinus (HJEMSØKT, SOLUS GRIEF, KVAD, UNHOLY CRAFT) create a spellbinding tapestry of rustic tones and textures. In fact, on texture alone - kinda clean and clanging, yet with more than a hint of ghostly grit and almost surfy reverb - HERALDIC BLAZE stand out, but it's how they utilize those textures in the service of songwriting: winding and wild, frothing up to an almost-dangerous delirium, but more often than not leaving wide-open spaces to let their medieval melodicism bend and sway with bravado and bittersweetness. And as actual flute flutters in from time to time, the sum effect, more often than not, is ALIEN - unsettling and alluring in equal measure.

While "merely" a demo recording, HERALDIC BLAZE's first work already trounces most modern works of "black metal." Unorthodox and unbound, Blazoned Heraldry is mandatory listening for fans of Sühnopfer, Ungfell, Grylle, Heltekvad, and particularly mid-2000s Peste Noire.
