Helheim, one of the founding pioneers of the Norwegian viking metal genre, are ready to release their 12th studio album “HrabnaR / Ad vesa”. On this record, Helheim has made a split album with themselves. For the first time, the main songwriters V'gandr and H'grimnir have divided the album in two, where they solely take care of the vocals on the part they represent musically. This has resulted in two very different expressions - not uncommon for this band, but never as clearly as here. The first half, “Hrabnar”, contains four stand-alone songs written by H’grimnir. The second part, “Ad vesa”, is about the four components in Norse mythology that we know collectively as the human soul. In pre-Christian Norway, the concept of the soul was not a singular, unified entity, but a composite of many elements, of which the four key components were Fylgja, Hamr, Hugr, and Hamingja. Founded in 1992, Helheim are known and renowned all over the world for their authenticity and integrity when it comes to portraying their Norse heritage. Constantly growing and evolving, and staying clear of musical trends and fads, they’ve carved their own way for more than 30 years.

Batushka's 2019 Opus Returns: The Liturgy of Death Re-released!

Back on Black is proud to announce the comprehensive reissue of Hospodi (Church Slavonic for "Lord"), the second full-length album from the Polish black metal phenomenon, Batushka. Initially released in 2019, Hospodi represents a more polished, melodic, and theatrical evolution of the band's signature, ritualistic sound.

Based on the Eastern Orthodox "Liturgy of Death" and traditional funeral rites, the album is a thematic journey through death and judgment. This reissue brings back the ten-track masterpiece, which blends traditional black metal (tremolo riffs, ferocious blast beats) with haunting choirs, atmospheric ambient interludes, and profound Slavic chants.

Hospodi was lauded for its dramatic production, and this reissue shines a light on key tracks like the atmospheric opener "Wozglas," the rocking-yet-menacing "Wieczernia," and the powerful closer "Liturgiya".

Black metal

"Fuori dagli schemi: questo è Wallachia. Un progetto nato nella Norvegia di metà anni ’90 ma che è non è mai riuscito ad ottenere la popolarità dei più celebri conterranei Emperor o dei contemporanei Cradle of Filth e che, dopo un album di successo come From Behind the Light, decide di scomparire per oltre sei anni, condannandosi all’oblio da parte dei più. Ma, quello che conta maggiormente, è che Wallachia sia ora ritornata ad essere una realtà attiva che, con Shunya, dimostra ancora una volta che da quell’angolo di Scandinavia molto è ancora lecito aspettarsi. Una produzione consigliata a tutti gli amanti di un black metal che sia sinfonico e melodico, senza però perdere la sua proverbiale aggressività. Caratteristica assicurata in questo caso dalle ibridazioni death, con quel tocco sregolato e irriverente in più dato da qualche sperimentazione che, stavolta, ha pagato la scelta."
