Some things are just supposed to happen. Avantgarde Music and Abysmal Grief have been on this earth for almost three decades, dealing with the dark and obscure, and only miles apart. Yet, they never worked together. Until now.

Despise The Living, Desecrate The Dead is a compilation of “outtakes, oddities and unused material from the period 2016-2021” marking the beginning of the cooperation between the record label from Milan and the long-standing occult metal band from Genoa. In the words of guitarist Regen Graves, Despise The Living… contains “songs recorded and mixed in our studio along the last few years, with different line-ups, that for a number of reasons were never included in previous releases”. Among these are covers of obscure, dark Italian bands of old, a doom metal rework of a funeral march from the ‘50s, and of course a number of new Abysmal Grief songs.

This is the morbid sound of the 90's!
Beherit and Carpathian Forest maniacs won't resist this hellish attack of pure black metal the way it was meant to be.
 

Spewing forth seven sulphur soaked tracks of blackened death metal, Poland's Ezkaton seek to extinguish light through a war of triumphant darkness. Exorcising past demons of death metal traditions and fusing them with the blasphemy of a black metal underbelly, A.A.A. is pure obsidian hostility.

Lathspell sounds somewhat typically Scandinavian, ranging from Norway’s Gorgoroth to Sweden’s Watain and latter Marduk efforts, with the eerie atmosphere of Ondskapt. All while still retaining the aggression of France’s Antaeus and a somewhat Australian grandeur to its blasphemy. the list could go on and on with different comparisons, ‘cause "impious incantations” isn’t unique; but it’s still damn good.
These Finnish lads surpass their predecessors in constant quality.
 

Five years after "Non omnis moriar", MEYHNACH is back with a second opus called "Miseria de profundis", a full-length piece of black metal with some weird elements.
The album contains the seven prophecies of a visionary digging into the depths of human misery.

"Miseria de profundis", lamentum in fine saeculi predicts the world's downfall through the eyes of a mad man that travels through feelings like paranoia, pandemics, terrorism and other faces of Evil of the 3rd millennium.

"Forfader is an emotional and triumphantly executed epic and an album that consistently pushes the band to bolder heights. This is black metal done right, going for the throat and proving Glemsel's excellence. Forfader excels in its blazing fury."

Black 12" double vinyl (33 rpm) incl. bonus tracks "Her til evig tid (Ånd: Epilog)", "Vekst (Erindring: Prolog)" and "Shades from these wounds" in sturdy printed inner sleeves with 2 double-sided inserts in deluxe gatefold (with soft touch matt laminate). First pressing 500 copies worldwide.

An early progenitor of funeral doom, Norway's FUNERAL have returned with ’Praesentialis in Aeternum’, their first new album in nearly a decade! The quartet bring forth a soul-rending offering that is rife with agony and pain, providing a fitting soundtrack for the times. Crushing, mournful passages and soaring lead breaks amplify its sorrowful atmosphere, and are certain to rive the heart, mind, and soul of listeners.
