„Tempelschlaf" is THE RUINS OF BEVERAST's seventh full-length output and sees the band carrying on their sonic morbidity, noises and melodies of a human habitat in its sunset era, while maintaining and refining the widescreen low end that has been sustaining their sound almost from the beginning.

On the instrumental side, „Tempelschlaf" is stripped of quite some abdominal fat, forging the songs with a reduction in length and layers, cautiously leaning towards the stage part of things. Still, TROB's main discipline, the cineastic incarnation of audial nightmares, is omnipresent on the album. While synths and samples have always been playing a bizarrely adamant role in TROB's sound, they reach yet another level of psychedelia and insanity on „Tempelschlaf".

"Neverland", the fourteenth studio album by ULVER is the sound of an escape. A journey into undiscovered lands.

Following three albums – "The Assassination of Julius Caesar" (2017), "Flowers of Evil" (2020), and "Liminal Animals" (2024) – rooted in more traditional song and production structures, "Neverland" marks a new chapter in the revered Oslo band's history.

"With 'Neverland' we embraced a more 'punk' spirit – more dreaming, less discipline – freer, quite simply", the band comments on the creative process behind the album.

Bursts of daybreak synths and whooshes of sound set the atmosphere, before the wolves start digging into the dynamics of ambient calm and anarchic mysticism. Dreamy and transportive textures develop into trippy percussive energies, and as the album unfolds, a lush and vibrant, and at times exotic space opens.

Apart from a few recurring distant voices and vocal chops, "Neverland" is a largely instrumental record, reminiscent of the mood and structure of that place where late '90s IDM sounds met the meandering structures of post-rock.

The ghost of premillennial sample culture surely haunts "Neverland", and some might even hear echoes from earlier acclaimed works like "Perdition City" (2000), or the "Silence" EPs (2001), or more recently "ATGCLVLSSCAP" (2016).

Still, "Neverland" sounds and feels like something else, something fresh in ULVER's continuous journey of perennial reinvention. Pop music from in-between worlds? A sonic hallucination? Or better: a collage of dreams. It's up to you.

Amidst the melancholy ruins and the grandeur of nature, their new album, ‘Amidst the Ruins’, majestically intertwines the past with the present. From the haunting echoes of “Glen of Sorrow” that recounts the betrayal of the Massacre of Glencoe, to the forest's whispered secrets in “The Sylvan Embrace” featuring cellist Jo Quail, each track is a portal to Scotland’s rich heritage. With “Echoes of the Ancient Land” and “Rebirth”, listeners are invited on a journey through weathered glens and ethereal hills, where each melody reveals a narrative of strength, sorrow, and renewal.
This album is a tribute to the timeless landscapes and ancestral spirits, capturing the soul of a nation in every note.

ROTTING CHRIST stand as pillars of Hellenic black metal: since 1987, the band have carved out a singular sound that merges extremity, ancient heritage, and ritualistic atmosphere. With ‘Aealo’ (2010), they reached a decisive turning point in their evolution.
This newly re-recorded edition brings renewed fire and clarity to one of the most ambitious works in their catalogue. Completely revitalised with modern production and a far stronger mix, ‘Aealo’ emerges more cinematic than ever: female lamentation choirs, martial percussion, folkloric melodies, and commanding riff-work collide in a sweeping vision of war, tragedy, and pagan spirituality. Guest appearances by Diamanda Galás and Alan A. Nemtheanga (Primordial) heighten the album’s mythic presence, while the enhanced dynamics reveal layers previously buried in the original recording.
Richer, fiercer, and more imposing, this new ‘Aealo’ amplifies every quality that made the album a modern cornerstone of Hellenic black metal.
