Upon the Altar is a new band from Poland and this is their debut album bringing an infernal form of blackened death metal but if you though about Behemoth you’ve got it all wrong, this is goat metal for cultists only.

Sinister as it can be the album has 7 tracks of pure devastation and desecration to destroy christianity as we know it.

Depressive and uplifting; a journey of massive peaks and bottomless caves. Unreqvited’s take on post black metal is one that paints a canvas of musical diversity, with elements of expansive post-rock, tortured dsbm vocals, shimmering blackgaze melodies and grandiose orchestral segments.

With their debut LP “Disquiet”, Unreqvited lays down the foundation for their somber, melancholic sound by using hallmark principles of black metal like torrential blast beats and tremolo sparingly. Instead, opting for emphasis on melodies and synthesizers to invoke thoughts of frozen woodlands and a troubled internal state.
 

Mosaic I might be Unreqvitedʼs most ambitious effort to date. Though only 40 minutes in length, their third LP explores far more hopeful territory, deeply rooted in post-rock and orchestral influences. Apart from the harrowing, tormented shrieking vocals, little to no black metal influences remain from their previous releases. It instead features majestic and hopeful refrains, wonderfully evocative progressions, and angelic, delicate atmospheres. The by-product is a captivating new sound that may be completely unique to the genre.

The first press of the CD comes as Collector’s Edition in Digipack, limited to 1000 copies.

The LP comes on coloured vinyl 199x white, incl. insert.

Tracks 1-5 from "Archi Catedra Nigra Diaboli" (Full-length 2010)
Tracks 6-7 from "In the Side of Eternal Eclipse" (EP 2001)
Tracks 8-9 from "A Night of Unholy Black Metal War" (Demo 1999)
Tracks 10-13 from "Unholy Medieval Congregation" (Full-length 2006)

Formed in September 2011, Vallendusk is a four-piece Epic/Melodic Black Metal band hailingfrom Jakarta, Indonesia. In April 2012, a self-titled EP was released under Pest Productions,receiving good responses from listeners and critics alike. A year later, the band’s debutfull length “Black Clouds Gathering” was released, resulting in a huge feedback and interest from all over the world.
Two years after the widely praised “Black Clouds Gathering”, the band will unleash their
2nd full length effort, entitled “Homeward Path”, in June 2015. The new album comprises
a more complex and dynamic sound yet retaining soul and character as its predecessors.
 

The varied song structures on their debut, coupled with instrumental dungeon synth passages, capture the magic of what was once the Black Metal art of the past, without sounding like a copy of those artists in any second. This independence runs like a thread through this record and proves that Vampyric Tyrant’s »Schwarze Schwingen« will definitely establish itself as a future classic in (German) Black Metal music.

Formed in 2020, VAMPYRIC TYRANT are a Teutonic black metal duo forged in the fires of old. The band is helmed by ex-Grabunhold member Graf Nekromant, joined by drummer Akatash. As foretold by their moniker, VAMPYRIC TYRANT indeed offer an iteration of vampiric black metal, but one locked in the dungeon of the '90s, as well as equally pursuing the epic ruminations of the legendary Moonblood.

Now joined under the banner of PURITY THROUGH FIRE and with the addition of bassist König Grausamkeit, VAMPYRIC TYRANT enter their next epoch with a four-song/19-minute EP fittingly titled Zorn und Hass. Grim yet stately, raw yet refined, the ghoulishness they offer here is as ethereal as it is insistent. More than that, each of the four tracks offers its own labyrinth of nostalgia and despair, perhaps hitting its sorrowful peak with the crying-orc instrumental "Ein Traum." Then, Zorn und Hass concludes in mesmerizingly hooligan fashion with the six-minute, organ-led "Totschlag."
