In December 2021, AVSKRÄDE emerged from storms of old with their debut full-length for PURITY THROUGH FIRE, Det stora tunga sjuka. Hailing from Sweden, the duo dutifully reinvigorated ancient Scandinavian black metal, both from Norway as well as their native land. No more but definitely no less, Det stora tunga sjuka was traditional BLACK METAL Exclusively: pure freezing fire, nasty and rustic and primitive but not without nuance.

And so it goes, a full two years later, with AVSKRÄDE's Undergång. Whereas the duo's debut reminded of Darkthrone's "Peaceville trilogy" and Malicious-era Gorgoroth, here on their second album do they kick up the nastiness and let the (freezing) filth flow freely, nodding to such underrated Darkthrone tomes as Total Death or even Ravishing Grimness. Indeed is AVSKRÄDE's grimness ravishing across Undergång, but compared to successive disciples as early Craft and Armagedda, the duo incorporate a slight bit more melody into proceedings - at times haunting, others anxious, but always hammered with cruel efficiency. And if there's one phrase to characterize AVSKRÄDE at this point, it's "cruelly efficient"; their songwriting is stripped to the fucking bone, but every note and hit is fucking RIGHT, and their live-in-the-rehearsal-room execution is blanching in its tightness. And once again, the album maintains a richly Grieghallen-esque production for maximum authenticity. Winter is looming, so hasten its arrival with Undergång!

The release of "De Dunkla Herrarna" was delayed for over a year because Lik tried to strangle Svartedöden causing the band to be put on halt.

Now available on cd too...

Written and recorded in a handful of days, the four epic, emotive songs on offer pass the 47-minute mark
There are a lot of dreamy, expansive, spacey, cosmic passages included
atmospheric Black Metal.
There’s a lot of melody at work and blastbeats are totally eschewed
in favour of slow- to mid-paced observations backboned by drums that genuinely sound like
they were recorded in an ice cave.
This record is mysterious, authentic, ancient yet ageless cold, cold, cold BM magic from the darkest shores of Sweden.

 Where Marduk fired the arrow and hit the bullseye in terms of war-themed releases was this little 3 track release called Iron Dawn. In three tracks, Marduk sets its sights on sonically delivering the chaotic brutality of war, and executes to such a degree of perfection that you can't help but listen to the EP on repeat. It is amazing as much as it is haunting.

Sweden's MARDUK are not only one of the most long running and respected black metal acts out there, but also one of the most productive. Even fourteen albums into their storied career, the quartet have never ever delivered a weak album and never wavered from their path of utter blasphemy and misanthropic contempt. Now, the band are re-visiting various much sought-after titles from their vast catalogue. “Wormwood” (2009) now returned on vinyl and CD. While going through possible extras for the “Wormwood” album, the band discovered a fully mastered track called “Shadow Comes”, which was supposed to be a bonus track but remained unused. The album has been mastered for vinyl by Patrick W. Engel.

After four quite different sounding albums as a duo, the Trondheim- based black metal band Gjendød has now returned with their 5th full-length.

It comes as no surprise that ‘Livskramper' also follows that path of constant changes, this time a ninety degrees turn, very well helped by the new drummer TK, who's most listened previous work might be the ‘Trøndertun'-session by Thorns. TK is another injection of mad supremacy into the spine of the band.

A fine and varied Black Metal album which includes a spectrum of feelings, from sheer passiveness to outraged despair, every second of the album is a life cramp.

All draped in the crushing sound recorded in the infamous NordStern studios.
A narcissistic scolding album of life, aggressively roared and whispered in dialect.

GJENDØD's brand new masterpiece ‘Livskramper' is a more than worthy beginning of the band's second era.
With artwork by Theodor Kittelsen.
