Formed 1994 in Monaco, GODKILLER was the work of multi-instrumentalist Duke Satanaël, releasing a classic 1996 debut EP of haunted and anguished medieval Black Metal - "The Rebirth of the Middle Ages" - and 2 subsequent albums of cold Industrial Metal between 1998 and 2000 before going on indefinite hiatus.

Now issued by DMP on special 7" vinyl, superb standalone track 'The End of the World' was recorded in 1997 and featured on "In Decay We Trust Vol.1", a 1998 CD-only compilation issued by Avantgarde Music/Wounded Love Records.

Originally intended as a stylistic pointer towards the band's debut full-length, this raw, otherworldly and enthralling piece turned out to be GODKILLER's final contribution to the realm of pure Black Metal.

For those interested in the latest musical evolution of Duke Satanaël, be sure to check out the eerie post-Punk/goth-Electronica of his current project, A PRAYER FOR THE WORST.

Unorthodox Death Metal from one of the most uniquely talented bands in extreme music. A soul-searching conflagration of atypical melodicism, immaculate virtuosic dexterity and sublimated psychological upheaval. A breathtaking new beginning.

Comes with printed innersleeves and download card.
Pressed on black heavy vinyl.

Comes in a 4-panel digipack w/ a 20-page booklet. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

SÜHNOPFER, hailing from France, return with their most fully realised release to-date of blasting, emotive, edge-of-seat Baroque Black Metal.

"Nous sommes d'Hier", the band's 4th full length since formation in 2001, finds sole member and multi-instrumentalist Ardraos continuing to explore a medieval universe in his quest to restore the tarnished glory of the Bourbons - marching between the Middle Ages and the modern era to weave compulsive tales of dark times, remembered legends and places that resonate with the death of an age.

Comes in a 4-panel digipack with a 16-page booklet. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

Montreal's MISERERE LUMINIS have explored a stridently emotive and richly-layered strand of anguished Black Metal since their 2008 formation.

Extraordinary new album "Sidera" finds the band completing the journey set by 2023 predecessor, "Ordalie": weaving impassioned Black Metal, cinematic soundscapes and contemplative textures into a deeply moving set of songs which blend heartfelt sorrow with a fierce will to exist.

Comes in a 4-panel digipack with a 12-page booklet. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.

The sublime 4th full length from UK avant-Black/Death Metal band LYCHGATE advances the kinetic potency of their 2020 DMP-debut EP, "Also sprach Futura", to a frightening level of mind-mangling intensity.

"Precipice" is progressive Extreme Metal plummeting inside a black hole: scorching, twisted and transfixing. The band have upped both the dystopic prog-Death quotient and their sense of experimentation, moving with formidable, mechanised poise and a surrealist’s sense of dread.

The legendary "Memoria Vetusta I - Fathers Of The Icy Age" captures BLUT AUS NORD in the remarkable embryonic phase of an evolutionary process that would culminate in one of Black Metal's great enigmas.

Finally available again on CD with its original front cover, "Memoria Vetusta I - Fathers Of The Icy Age" is canonical primeval Black Metal from another age. Essential.

Comes in a 4-panel digipack.

The wonderful 16th album from legendary Avant Black Metal paragons BLUT AUS NORD is the culmination of a 30-year vision - as mainman Vindsval connects each element of the band's history to launch yet another intrepid exploratory evolution.

"Ethereal Horizons" is BLUT AUS NORD fully realised: richer, deeper, grander, more enigmatic and simultaneously more human than ever. Intermeshing the earthen and the futuristic as a vessel for the dark dreamer, soaring and ascending to vivid realms.

1995 debut "Ultima Thulée" initiated BLUT AUS NORD's bold journey toward transcendence through Black Metal. One of the first albums to emerge from the now-legendary French underground scene, "Ultima Thulée" showcases a cold and primitive yet no less uniquely atmospheric BLUT AUS NORD compared with the twisted, dissonant trailblazer evident on more recent releases. The ground-breaking decadence of "Ultima Thulée" is presented here with artwork as close as possible to the original release and with enhanced audio mastered specifically for vinyl.

The wonderfully productive Swiss atmospheric Black Metal band AARA return with urgency to unleash "Triade II: Hemera", their 4th full-length since 2019 and the second chapter of the Melmoth trilogy.

Based upon the 1820 Gothic novel 'Melmoth the Wanderer' by Charles Robert Maturin - and closely connected in style and atmosphere to 2021's initial instalment "Triade I: Eos" - each of the 6 brutally melodic tracks follows the book's chronological mid-point narrative in a dazzling critical examination of theism and scepticism through the medium of top-tier Black Metal.

Although conceptually aligned with part one of the trilogy, "Triade II: Hemera" further-advances the AARA sound into realms of progressive extremity: defined once again by the beauteous lead melodies of composer/guitarist Berg, the record combines a raw violent undertow with subtle rhythmic shifts, left-field riffs/refrains and sublimated vocal savagery - interweaving Christian choirs, the Jewish shofar horn and traditional Indian vocal samples into yet another outstanding offering from an unstoppable young band overflowing with ideas and confidence.

Stillamentum marks Gorrch’s long-awaited return, as well as the first collaboration between the duo and Avantgarde Music. Stillamentum is a full-length album steeped in claustrophobic intensity, dissonant chord structures, and relentless sonic tension. From punishing tremolo riffs and blasting drumming to cavernous production that evokes suffocating atmospheres, the record channels the band’s obsession with sound as ritual and catharsis. Gorrch push further into darkness with an unwavering commitment to raw emotion and existential dread, crafting a labyrinth of shadows and pain.
