Back in stock - musica Black Metal e Dark estrema
Darkenhöld emerged in 2008 as a trio composed of Aldébaran, Cervantes and Aboth, with the ambition of creating a melodic, epic, atmospheric Black Metal imbued with the spirit of the 90s from which the band has always drawn most of its influences. The band's universe was established from the beginning around a dreamlike medieval imagination, roaming the deep forests, high mountains and mysterious caves of the South-East of France where the band is from. The old stones of fortified castles, fantastic bestiaries, tales and legends, the dense and complex landscapes of the Côte d'Azur are the sources of inspiration for a Black Metal that first stood out with the release of two self-produced split-CDs in 2009, mixing covers with original compositions. Introducing the group's emblematic animal, the Wyvern, and laying the first foundations of its universe, they prepared the ground for the release of a first album, "A passage to the towers...", released in 2010. The group would then release a second album, defended throughout a French tour, before introducing the French language in its third album, "Castellum", which would open new horizons for them. The release in 2017 of their fourth album, "Memoria Sylvarum", released as a self-production, would see the group access larger stages, culminating in a well-received performance at Hellfest in 2018. The year 2020 marked a further step with the signing of the group to the label "Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions" and the release of their fifth album, "Arcanes et Sortilèges".

Hailing from the heart of French black metal, SETH presents a grim and haunting narrative with their relentless musical fury. Glazed with elements from the French Revolution, new opus ‘La France des Maudits’ takes inspiration from the very streets that bled under the guillotine’s kiss.
With ‘La France des Maudits’ SETH carve out the anthem for those rising from the ruins, the unyielding, the eternal rebels. This black metal revival offers a narrative of relentless fury, invoking the spirit of insurrection, liberation, and defiance against divine oppression. With tracks such as “Paris des Maléfices” and “Et Que Vive le Diable!”, they weave a dark tapestry of sound, showcasing their unique niche in atmospheric black metal. Anthems of resistance that echo the cries of a new age unwilling to kneel before divine decay.
Dive into the tumultuous serenade of ‘La France des Maudits’, an album that roars in the key of revolution.
For fans of ENTHRONED, ABIGOR, ANCIENT, AETERNUS.
Second album of the trilogy on CD in deluxe Digipak with Pantone silver print with 16-page booklet.
Had GREEN CARNATION never returned from hiatus, the Norwegian bards would always be remembered for completing one of the most ambitious individual epics in metal’s historic archives. However, there was one tale — or three, to be exact — that eluded them for more than three decades. Now, after reaching crushing new highs during its opening chapter, they’re descending into deeper, darker and more personal depths with part II of ‘A Dark Poem’.
If ‘The Shores of Melancholia’ set sail from a familiar place of melancholy, then ‘Sanguis’ opens with GREEN CARNATION far out at sea, fighting to stay afloat against the storm that’s raging in their minds. Over the course of nine minutes, the album’s epic title track vows to forgive and forget familial wreckage, washing away the bloody stains of the past with impassioned cleans and a chorus that radiates conviction — only for a traumatic memory to come flooding back during its doomy coda. The newfound heaviness from the first part of ‘A Dark Poem’ continues to age like a fine wine, balancing sweet meaty riffs with an underlying bitterness. “I Am Time” demands immediate recognition with a guitar melody that winds like the winds of change. But part II reveals the band at their most raw with ballads that unfold with the grace of a wilted flower.
“The end justifies the means, you’ll see”, Kjetil Nordhus sings with an eerily quiet confidence. As its final tale seeps beneath the moonlight, ‘Sanguis’ leaves fans hanging in suspense over where this trilogy will end.
For fans of OPETH, PARADISE LOST, KATATONIA, PAIN OF SALVATION.
1995 debut "Ultima Thulée" initiated BLUT AUS NORD's bold journey toward transcendence through Black Metal. One of the first albums to emerge from the now-legendary French underground scene, "Ultima Thulée" showcases a cold and primitive yet no less uniquely atmospheric BLUT AUS NORD compared with the twisted, dissonant trailblazer evident on more recent releases. The ground-breaking decadence of "Ultima Thulée" is presented here with artwork as close as possible to the original release and with enhanced audio mastered specifically for vinyl.
Comes in a 4-panel digipack w/ a 20-page booklet. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.
SÜHNOPFER, hailing from France, return with their most fully realised release to-date of blasting, emotive, edge-of-seat Baroque Black Metal.
"Nous sommes d'Hier", the band's 4th full length since formation in 2001, finds sole member and multi-instrumentalist Ardraos continuing to explore a medieval universe in his quest to restore the tarnished glory of the Bourbons - marching between the Middle Ages and the modern era to weave compulsive tales of dark times, remembered legends and places that resonate with the death of an age.
Five paeans of hypnotic, metamorphic and dangerously addictive Black Metal. A perfect juxtaposition of meticulous craftsmanship and frightening pandemonium.

Madrid's AVERSIO HUMANITATIS follow-up 2020's white-hot "Behold the Silent Dwellers" with another stunning slice of unrelenting, modernist and oft-dissonant Black Metal.
Third full-length "To Become The Endless Static" finds the band on devastatingly intense terrain: a hammer-blow of astounding riffing, warped leads, riotous drumming and ultra-committed vocals all wrapped in an oppressive atmosphere as serious as your life.
Comes in a 4-panel digipack w/ an 8-page booklet and a download card. The digital download includes an exclusive instrumental version of the album as bonus. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.
ERSHETU was formed in 2021 by conceptualist/lyricist Void and composer Sacr to create cinematic music which merges epic, obscure and atmospheric Metal with the poignant dramaticism of film scores.
Evocative debut album "Xibalba" - which focuses upon Mayan folklore - revolves around an impeccable orchestral core swathed in folk instrumentation, from which the unmistakeable impassioned singing and entranced chanting of Lars Are Nedland (BORKNAGAR, SOLEFALD) soars skyward before cascading down into an arid undertow of textural Black Metal guitars performed by Vindsval (BLUT AUS NORD).
Comes in a 6-panel digipack. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.
A continuation of preceding EP "The Forlorn Soldier", 3rd full-length "Hymn to the Woeful Hearts" is a wounded, epically emotive exploration of timeless grief which ascends to the next level - simmering down past symphonics and ramping up the bitterness, aggression, textural dynamism and melancholic conviction.
Again featuring skilled and energetic guest drumwork from Yurii Kononov (ex-WHITE WARD), PURE WRATH have here produced their deepest, darkest, most organic and engaging work to date: perfectly balancing howls of primal rage with tear-stained, hymnal sung passages, simultaneously vicious and yearning guitar-work, poignant synth, evocative acoustics and heartfelt thematic realism.
