Un bundle di 2 album dei ELIS  in formato promo CD (bustina in cartone stampata)

Founded in 1984, Heir Apparent issued a pair of ground-breaking albums between 1986 and 1989. Prior to the formation of Heir Apparent band was called Nemesis for a year. When vocalist Corey Rivers left the band in early 1984, the three remaining members recruited singer Paul Davidson, and the band's name was changed to Heir Apparent. The music of this Seattle-based band spans a range from progressive speed metal to acoustic-driven power ballads, fused with melodic and intelligent lyrical themes, and respected for their intense and emotive live performances. Since 2000, Terry Gorle has reformed Heir Apparent for several festival concerts in Europe, and numerous local shows around the Seattle area. In 2015, a line-up was solidified for additional European festivals, and a third studio album release in 2018. This album, ‘Foundations II’ contains the cult demo ‘Triad’ from 1988 (13 tracks) and Demo 2003 (3 tracks). https://www.facebook.com/HeirApparentOfficial

In the mist-shrouded realm of black metal, GRAVENOIRE emerges as a phantasm, a spectral echo of the genre's most unyielding and arcane iterations. Combining the talents of present and past members of Anorexia Nervosa, Seth, BÂ’A and Diablation, this harbinger of the aether marries the raw, unfiltered essence of 90s black metal with the enigmatic lore of its ancestral land - France.

‘Devant la porte des étoiles’ is a portal, cast from the ancient stones of primordial rites and cosmic despair. This GRAVENOIRE debut, forged in the live crucible of rehearsal chambers untainted by modernity's corroding touch, channels the unsanctioned, unbridled energies of realms both spectral and telluric. From the inaugural summoning rites of the instrumental “Pavens” to the devotional desolation of “Granit”, each track serves as a tome, inscribed with the ink of rebellion, mysticism, and the unquenchable thirst for transcendence. GRAVENOIRE invites the listener to tread the forgotten paths beneath the starlit dome, to reunite with the ancient forces that pulse in the earth's hidden veins.

For fans of GORGOROTH, ARCKANUM, DARKTHRONE, EMPEROR.

Seven years without a new studio album by long-running Swedish black metal act DARK FUNERAL was a tough time for its worldwide legions of fans, but finally in 2016, two decades after the release of the band's legendary debut album “The Secrets Of The Black Arts” a new aeon is about to begin. And, DARK FUNERAL's sixth studio album, “Where Shadows Forever Reign”, produced by Daniel Bergstrand (In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth), actually refers back to the aforementioned first album in several ways: Firstly, it proudly comes along with stunning artwork by Necrolord (Dissection, Necrophobic, Emperor) just like “The Secrets…” back in ‘96, secondly, it also marks a debut of sorts as it is the first DARK FUNERAL opus with new vocalist Heljarmadr (Grá). His vitriolic snarl finds a perfect match in Lord Ahriman's trademark riffing, and shines on the intense opening track, which would not have felt out of place on 1998's “Vobiscum Satanas”, as well as on the slower epic, “As I Ascend”, the diverse “To Carve Another Wound”, or the grim finale “Where Shadows Forever Reign”. Rewarding their fans to the fullest with an incredibly strong new album burning with passion and determination, DARK FUNERAL shall celebrate a triumphant return...in the sign of the horns.

“La Grande Danse Macabre” album (2001), which presents a more varied and darker approach compared to the Swedish black metal titans' usual blastbeat-driven full on assault. Created in close cooperation with the band, this re-release features remastered sound (done by bassist Devo Andersson), detailed liner notes, unpublished photos, revamped artwork by Death Wolf vocalist Maelstrom and bonus material on the CD version: a cover version of “Samhain” (originally by pre-DANZIG punk outfit SAMHAIN) and all three tracks from the “Obedience” EP (2000). Expect nothing but perfect extreme black metal pleasure!

Re-issue, CD jewelcase with 20 page booklet on 135g art paper.

Info : Sweden's MARDUK are not only one of the most long running and respected black metal acts out there, but also one of the most productive. Even fourteen albums into their storied career, the quartet have never ever delivered a weak album and never wavered from their path of utter blasphemy and misanthropic contempt. 2004's “Plague Angel” was the first release featuring current vocalist Mortuus (Funeral Mist, Triumphator) who played a pivotal role in MARDUK's reinvigoration after the departure of previous singer Legion. He brought a new level of vocal and lyrical intensity plus a frightening stage presence into the game catapulting the group to new heights. Now, it will finally be made available! Remastered by Patrick W. Engel.
