New Hate Forest EP recorded in summer 2023. It's chapter II of the planned EP trilogy (along with "Sowing with Salt"). Unlike pre-war releases of the band, the current stuff is down to earth, warlike and gory. Moscovia delenda est.

500x cloudy transparent red 12" (140g) in a microtene innerbag, innersleeve printed, full-color on 220g carton (coated paper); simple jacket, full-color printed on 350g carton (coated paper), all assembled in a plastic overbag.

A true legend of Slavonic Black Metal, never being part of the scene, never giving interviews or making photos, the band crafted own name with their extreme individualism and estrangement.
HATE FOREST's music can be described as grim, cold, aggressive and straightforward black metal, mostly very fast with low, distorted vocals and dark ambient elements.
The band's lyrics are heavily influenced by Scythian and Slavic legends, the mythology of H. P. Lovecraft, and the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.

 Originally released in the autumn of 2001 on the pivotal No Fashion label, DARK FUNERAL's third album, Diabolis Interium, arguably brought the band to their biggest audiences yet. The album's release was followed by wealth of touring across both Europe and the United States, the latter still a rarity back then for Scandinavian black metal bands. Indeed, with the razor-sharp execution across Diabolis Interium, DARK FUNERAL were perfect ambassadors for the sound, and for Swedish black metal in general: many bands had come and gone over the ‘90s, but there they stood, sticking to their guns – and spiked gauntlets. Nothing could extinguish this inferno!

At long last, OSMOSE will do DARK FUNERAL's back catalog justice with the first of many reissues. This version of Diabolis Interium will faithfully reproduce the original. Include 4 cover tracks (King Diamond, Sodom, Slayer, & Mayhem) and 3 live tracks (from South American 2003).

Re-issue, 398x orange crush with black marble effect 2x12" (180g) in black poly-lined innerbag, gatefold full color, black flood inside, on 350g, all assembled in a PVC overbag.

Originally released in the autumn of 2009, of DARK FUNERAL's fifth album, Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus, completes something of a trilogy with the predecessors Diabolis Interium (2001) and Attera Totus Sanctus (2005), in that they all featured the band's fastest and fiercest work yet along with suitably fiery cover artwork. However, that's not to say that Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus merely repeated past glories; in fact, DARK FUNERAL here exhibited a relatively adventurous grasp of dynamics to suit the more melancholic & romantic themes being explored here. More than that, some 15-plus years after their formation, their power and passion had not lessened one bit. Sadly, Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus was to be the final recorded performance of founding vocalist Emperor Magus Caligula.

At long last, OSMOSE will do DARK FUNERAL's back catalog justice with the first of many reissues. This version of Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus will faithfully reproduce the original, now finally available on vinyl for the first time in nearly a decade.

Reprint, 298x orange crush with black marble effect 12" (180g) in a black poly-lined innerbag, gatefold, full-color with black flood inside on 350g, all assembled in a PVC overbag.

Alongside contemporaries Dissection and Marduk, DARK FUNERAL are among the most important Swedish black metal bands ever. In fact, when one merely mentions the phrase “Swedish black metal,” thoughts immediately turn to their name: since their formation in 1993, DARK FUNERAL quickly came to define the shocking sound of cryogenic melody and cruelly blasting fury. Though their six albums to date have been patiently parceled out over a considerable amount of time, their works endure to this day and have influenced countless bands over the past 20 years.

Originally released in the autumn of 2005, of DARK FUNERAL's fourth album, Attera Totus Sanctus, was arguably the band's fastest and fiercest record ever – which is all the more remarkable given the band's longevity to that point. Where most bands soften or slow down as they get older – or break up, respectably, before ruining their good name – DARK FUNERAL proved that age is just a number and made their razor-sharp yet always-melodic sound that much more nuclear-powered. In fact, that they were able combine such amazingly blitzed speeds with melodies that are highly memorable, even at those speeds, is something that's black magick indeed… And another fiery album cover proved that nothing could extinguish DARK FUNERAL's inferno!

At long last, OSMOSE will do DARK FUNERAL's back catalog justice with the first of many reissues. This version of Attera Totus Sanctus will faithfully reproduce the original, now finally available on vinyl for the first time in nearly a decade.
