A stranger to time, space or any geographical scene, Monte Penumbra returns with might and main: a full-length entitled “As blades in the firmament”. An opus for the Antagonist, ranging from vicious Black Metal to eerie ambient sections, beseeching the abyss and rejoicing at the antipode of the Sun. “As blades in the firmament” has been composed by W.uR and feeds off an ancestral sense of fatalism, intertwined with the triumphant emblems of Death, in a ceremonial attack upon heavenly ardour. Unlike its forerunners, it features Bjarni Einarsson (Sinmara / Rebirth of Nefast) on drums, in place of Mons Vcnt. The latter nevertheless contributed essential elements to the album: its visuals. Bjarni Einarsson’s drumming on the album is overwhelmingly the result of his creative freedom. The drums were recorded at Studio Emissary (Iceland) and the rest of the elements were crystalized during various sessions in Portugal. All tracks were mixed and mastered at Studio Emissary by Stephen Lockhart.

By their hammer let none be saved – Misþyrming return to lay down the law. Með hamri is the sound of the iron heel of Black Metal trampling the face of musical modernity.

Með hamri is deeply saturated with the vibrantly alive energy that Misþyrming capture so effectively on stage. The drums sound organic and powerful, the guitar distortion has a vicious bite, and D.G.’s vocals are as brutal and evocative as ever. The underlying spirit is one of action. There is melancholy, bitterness, and filth, but one of the album’s foremost characteristics is its relentless surge of determination. Never before have Misþyrming sounded livelier and more confrontational.
 

In the wake of their previous work, Also sprach das Chaos, Blackdeath continue to push experimental boundaries in composition. In an era when musical distinctiveness is scarce, Blackdeath offers a rare listening experience shaped by over 25 years in the black metal scene.

Their journey began with Saturn Sector (1998), a raw debut rooted in the defiant tradition of black metal, yet unmistakably their own. Their latest release, Mortui incedere possunt ("Dead Can March"), showcases an expanded role for drummer Polar Maya as vocalist, along with an ambitious production by TT of Abigor. Now joined by second guitarist Der Nukleare Herjarnn, a longtime live collaborator, Blackdeath’s sound hints at Voivod and the radical strains of orthodox black metal, exploring mid-tempo, ice-laden grooves.

Merging familiar intensity with newfound uniqueness, Blackdeath may well have achieved their pinnacle. Thematically, they dissect reality through an anti-cosmic lens, revealing Chaos in all things.

NIFELHEIM`s self-titled debut from 1995 has rightfully garnered the band much praise in the underground.
Spawned at a time when myriads of bands were hopping on the bandwagon of nice black metal with cheesy keyboards and female vocals, this slab of abrasive old-school metal felt like a much-needed bold Fuck you.

Aptly titled songs like “Black curse”, “Sodomizer” or “Satanic Sacrifice” relentlessly grab for the throat.
NIFELHEIM`s amalgam of pummeling riffs occassionally interspersed with wailing solos, the vocalist`s demented shrieks resembling a rabid animal and the barbarous pounding drums make for one hell of a timeless debut.

Now, after almost 30 years since this mean masterpiece was initially brought forth from the bowels of hell it sees its long-overdue re-releases.

A very in-depth interview with Tyrant and Hellbutcher highlighting the early days of the band until their last opus „Envoy Of Lucifer“ was also conducted for these reissues.
You can read parts of this interview in the corresponding releases as well you will find many unseen pictures and material from the band in the large booklets for every title.

Luxurious hardcover digibook measuring about 14×14 cm.
It contains the interview and many never before-seen pictures spread over a 30 pages booklet.
