A monument to rampaging individuality and the power of the human spirit.

“This is a new beginning, a new chapter. The rules of the game have changed.”

Fanatico ed entusiasmante esordio degli austriaci Triumphant, furioso combo di Innsbruck autori di questo riuscito album dove black metal, sfuriate thrash old school e metal classico convivono in armonia, regalando a più riprese momenti di delirio
I nomi di riferimento sono sicuramente i Dissection, appunto per quanto riguarda la parte black, primi Kreator e Destruction a difendere i colori del thrash e cavalcate heavy/power, marchio di fabbrica di Running Wild e Grave Digger, amalgamati con sapienza dai Triumphant i quali, pur mantenendo sul disco elevati livelli di violenza e pesantezza, risultano vari nell’usare tipiche atmosfere dei primi ed infarcirle delle ritmiche delle citate band teutoniche.

A 2018 Peaceville CD reissue of Dodheimsgard’s 1998’s album Satanic Art featuring bonus tracks.

One of the visionaries of the mid-1990’s Norwegian Black Metal evolution, DHG are widely hailed as masters of dark and psychotic Psychedelic-tinged extremity. Satanic Art is considered a significant turning point for the band, as the compositions became less traditional in their structure and delivery, and became more abstract and twisted.

This edition of Satanic Art includes two bonus tracks, Black Treasure and an alternate rendition of Symptom.
 

KATATONIA'S CLASSIC 1997 RELEASE OF TIMELESS DEATH/DOOM MELANCHOLY, FEATURING MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT ON VOCALS.

Katatonia was formed in 1991 by Anders Nystrom & Jonas Renkse. Their debut album, 'Dance Of December Souls', was released in 1993, gaining the band recognition for their eclectic brand of gothic doom/death metal & joining acts such as Paradise Lost & My Dying Bride as one of the genre's defining bands. On future albums a newer, sleeker Katatonia sound came to the fore, starting with a streamlined & structured collection of melodic dark rock songs that became third album 'Discouraged Ones'; widely regarded as the main evolution point for what eventually became modern day Katatonia.

In the wake of 1996's epic & sublime 'Brave Murder Day', which further established the Swedes as one of the leaders of melancholic metal, the 1997 EP 'Sounds Of Decay' continued with this masterful blend of sombre melodic & hypnotic death doom metal. 'Sounds Of Decay' was recorded at Stockholm's Sunlight Studios & notably featured Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt on vocals.

This edition of 'Sounds Of Decay' is presented on digipack CD format & includes the bonus track 'Untrue', which was not originally included on the 1997 release.

Eastern Darkness features an extensive collection of cult Japanese Black Metal legends Sigh's early demos, EPs and rarities.

Founded in 1994 and led to rest in 2012, Lunar Aurora released during their existence 9 full length albums, two demos and some split releases with Secrets Of The Moon, Paysage D‘Hiver and Nordlys.
Partly atmospheric, partly aggressive but always unique and special, in their active years Lunar Aurora created a deep and mysteries sound full of grim Black Metal with symphonic, ambient and modern classical elements.

In the coming months, Darkness Shall Rise Productions will release all of the bands releases in a special deluxe Pic. LP edition, including sleeve, 12-page inserts with new liner notes, poster, download-card etc.
To start with this amazing project, we decided to first release the great and highly appreciated final output Hoagascht from 2012 and the bands grim and majestetic 7^th album Mond from 2005.

Vinyl-Masters were done again by Patrick W. Engel at Temple Of Disharmony.
There are no plans to make a vinyl-box (unlike a tape box which will definitely come later) with all albums, so all these Pic. LP releases will be only available as stand-alone releases.

Black LP with 12-page booklet and poster.

Av Norrøn Ætt, HELHEIM`s second album released in 1997 basically continues where the band left off with their predecessor. All the elements present on Jormundgand are part of their sound again – only intensified and more proficient. Thus, Av Norrøn Ætt features more chaotic Black Metal, more pronounced folk and Viking influences, and an even grander epic scope. Only the high-pitched screaming vocals are gone and have been replaced by grim croaking. The album is intense and ambitious, with long, complex tracks that showcase intricate arrangements. Its title track especially stands out as a fusion of Black Metal, Viking music, and even prog-rock influences. Often compared to early ENSLAVED, particularly their Eld album from the same year, Av Norrøn Ætt represents a peak of creativity for HELHEIM. It remains their most ambitious work and a unique, unmatched moment in their discography. Av Norrøn Ætt truly ranks among the masterpieces of Norwegian Black Metal.

The LP comes with a hugh 24-page 12” booklet including the interview and many never before-seen pictures.
An A2 poster will be added to every vinyl too.

For the first time, these 5 tapes (Ash Nazg …, lux devicta est, promo tape 2/94, Moonrise and In Hate & Sin)  are compiled as a stand-alone 2LP / 2CD album, accompanied by extensive photo material and an in-depth interview, covering the period from the formative 1980s, over the conditions leading to the establishment of the band, up to the days when a deal for their debut Verwüstung/Invoke The Dark Age was signed.

The direct and unveiled nature of these recordings invites the listener to travel back in time, step into ABIGOR´s rehearsal cellar and experience the raw, youthful energy which shows a different side of the band than the successive recordings at Hörnix Studio.

The pressing and print quality make this double-album the ultimate memorial to the reckless bygone days not only of ABIGOR but also of Black Metal as a whole.
On 48 A5 pages respectively, the circumstances around each demo are treated individually.

After more than 30 years, the hands-on experiments of those simple, analogue times still work their magic!
