Following their 2021 debut De Rerum Natura, Italian atmospheric/melodic black metal duo Eard is back with their sophomore album, Melancholia.
In the band's words, “Melancholia is a deeply introspective work exploring human experience, heavily influenced by the poetic tradition of Romanticism. A defining aspect of Eard is the atmosphere shaped by the strings of the celtic harp interwoven with wistful, evocative guitar melodies. Continuing the tradition initiated with their debut album, the music is enriched by the vocals of guest artists, including Saor’s mastermind Andy Marshall and Belgian multi-instrumentalist Déhà (SLOW, Déhà, Acathexis and many more), who was featured in the previous album and returns this time to contribute to two tracks”.

Eard pays homage to Anglo-Saxon poetry, such homage beginning with the very name of the band, the Old English word used to describe the concept of earth, land and home. Melancholia tells tales of misty lands of old and ancient voyages across the seas, and its haunting melodies will pierce through the greyness of everyday life.

Bloedmaan, another brainchild by the infamous Ronarg (also known from Ars Veneficium & Antzaat) presents its debut full length album «Castle Inside the Eclipse». Those who are familiar with both mentioned bands know what to expect from this gentlemen and can even hear similarities, however, Bloedmaan stands completely on its own.

The music is as Melodic as Antzaat and as Violent as Ars Veneficium, yet, the approach is completely different. Fast and complex guitar melodies wrapped in a harsh mid 90’s old school sound package with variated drum patterns and those nice low end basslines. The vocals give you that haunted 90’s Vampyric feeling with a touch of depressive note without entering the suicidal atmosphere.

All in all, Bloedmaan delivers a Hell of a debut album that will take the Black Metal scene by storm without a doubt!

Members of Chaos Inception and Malignancy join forces to unleash a new crushing ensamble! Black Hole Deity are purveyors of old school mastery yet sounding modern and tight. This is Death Metal, period.

Death Doom that slithers across the whole spectrum of the genre, drawning inspiration from modern titans such as Temple of Void and adding so much more. Crushing, slow and incessant heavyness yet even bluesy and catchy at moments. Finally assembled for physical release and adding a brand new track, this is the best way to embrace Void Witch's debut!

VOID WITCH is a doom/death collective out of Austin, Texas. Formed from ex-members of Azoth, Shitstorm and Drainbow during the Years of Great Plague and conceived as a collective project to give unearthly voice to the gruesome maunderings of our corrupted and degenerate minds.
Void Witch’s aesthetic is an unholy marriage of classic doom metal, old school death metal, and grunge sensibilities with themes of body horror, gruesome myth, murder ballads, and other cautionary tales.

For fans of Hooded Menace, Temple Of Void, Coffins, Druid Lord.
