Ristampa 2013 per Season of Mist con bonus disc contenente demotape '97/'98

Limited to 300 copies worldwide!

Originally released in 2002, ‘Í Blóði Og Anda’ (meaning 'In Blood and Spirit') is the long-lost debut album from Iceland's SOLSTAFIR.
A far cry from the refined and expressive post-rock of 2011's 'Svartir Sandar', ‘Í Blóði Og Anda’ is unique and primitive black metal (in the vein of early ENSLAVED).
The album went out-of-print almost immediately upon its release, and has been out of circulation ever since. Now remastered, repackaged, ‘Í Blóði Og Anda’ is a definitive snapshot that exposes the earliest roots of this incredible band.

For fans of ENSLAVED, BARONESS, MASTODON, AGALLOCH, LONGDISTANCECALLING, PRIMORDIAL.

CD in deluxe Digipak with new art additions and red foil, comes with 8-page booklet.

Step into the realm of avant-garde metal with Tamás Kátai's visionary project: Thy Catafalque.
For over two decades, Thy Catafalque has been masterfully pioneering left-field extreme metal music. The journey continues with Thy Catafalque’s sophomore masterpiece ‘Microcosmos’, a revelation that delicately balances the dichotomy between black metal and avant-garde artistry.
Originally released in 2001, this album explores structured thematic elements inspired by space and the vast cosmos. A sonic expedition that maintains the restless abrasion of tremolo-picked dyads and subtly mixed-in blast beats, while retaining the psychedelic sounding sings that flesh out Thy Catafalque’s signature sound.
Now, in a momentous revival, Season of Mist proudly presents the official reissue of ‘Microcosmos’, ensuring that this groundbreaking work is preserved for posterity. Fans, both seasoned and new, can delve into the intricacies of Kátai's visionary compositions, experiencing the fusion of aggression and artistry that defines Thy Catafalque.

For fans of SOLEFALD, ARCTURUS, BLUT AUS NORD, ULVER.

SÓLSTAFIR are not like any other band. Their sixth album 'Berdreyminn' underscores this statement. As its title "a dreamer of forthcoming events" aptly describes, the four Icelanders have taken their already impressive evolution one step further. The band has continued to amalgamate haunting melodies, psychedelic phases, as well as strong undercurrents of classic rock and hard rock with echoes of their metal past. Yet SÓLSTAFIR's focus is not on style but pure emotion. 'Berdreyminn' is eclectic by a conscious choice to make feelings audible and transform taste as well as texture to sound. Genre borders are not broken but simply ignored. Musical influences are gathered from a wide range of sources, re-arranged, and woven into new patterns. Melancholy, longing, anger, joy, pleasure, pain, and other emotions are fuelling & fulling this album.

Digipack
 

CD in deluxe Digipak with 8-page booklet

There are few funeral doom bands out there that manage to express sorrow and despair in such a majestic and beautiful manner as SHAPE OF DESPAIR. The Finns’ latest full-length is a product of their environment, enveloping the listener in cold, eternal darkness like a lonely Finnish winter. And much like the long, funereal winters of their homeland, the atmosphere in ‘Return to the Void’ is bleak but ethereal. The funeral doom icons do not merely offer a soundtrack to one’s agony, but also demonstrate the beauty that can often be found in misery.

For fans of FUNERAL, MOURNFUL CONGREGATION, BELL WITCH, AHAB, EVOKEN.

Reissue 2020 

NARGAROTH Era of Threnody

Era of Threnody burns with rage and repose - a war cry from a battlefield long forgotten, a remembrance of sorrows past, present, and future. Across its 65-minute landscape, the 10 songs which comprise Era of Threnody paint a portrait of NARGAROTH at its most dynamic: nearly every unique era of the band is represented, but executed with a startling sense of professionalism. But let it be known that "professionalism" in no way should be conflated with mainstream ambitions, for this is still pure 'n' pristine BLACK METAL in all its monochromatic grandeur. More accurately, perhaps, Era of Threnody is the sound of NARGAROTH at the height of its powers, well rested from the studio hiatus and eager 'n' emboldened by an upcoming European tour with Absu and Hate.
