LIH need no introductions: they have proven to be always ahead of their time, and have done so time and time again since the initial inception in 2001, still being one of the best avantgarde black metal band within Italian scene.
Expect everything we have all come to love about LIH: incredibly inventive Black Metal with a unique vision and an unmatched delivery, a penchant for sophistication and experimentalism in its truest form, slaying and cold guitar riffs, outstanding lyrics, impeccable drumming and their signature fretless bass
The LIH formula blends the solemnity and exaltation of late Spite Extreme Wings with the technical complexity and dynamism of acts such as Ved Bues Ende and Deathspell Omega.

Havukruunu's KELLE SURUT SOI reissued in September Svart Records continues to re-release the works of Havukruunu, bringing their highly sought after 2017 album KELLE SURUT SOI back in print in September 2025. Havukruunu's sophomore album Kelle surut soi is known for its immersive atmosphere, evoking imagery of Finnish paganism and nature's force. While rooted in black metal, the album incorporates folk melodies and acoustic elements, adding depth and texture to the sound, yet it doesn't shy away from aggressive, blackened riffs and powerful drumming, providing a satisfyingly heavy experience. The songs are individual journeys, with the album as a whole creating a larger, more impactful experience.

Over eight tracks, With Doom We Come indulges all things sublime and majestic, while grandiose keyboard backgrounds and mystical intros weave pure atmosphere contrasting with raw black metal. Opener ‘Tar-Calion‘ is a fitting ode to the last king of the island of Númenor, while ‘Carcharoth‘ tells the bloodthirsty tale of Arda`s mightiest wolf. Sagas and myths culled from J.R.R. Tolkien`s vast universe are the black blood that courses through SUMMONING`s veins, and With Doom We Come the ultimate soundtrack to a fantastic journey!

Havukruunu's debut album HAVULINNAAN reissued in June Svart Records is proud to bring Havukruunu's 2015 debut album HAVULINNAAN back to the market on June 6th, 2025. HAVULINNAAN is filled to the brim with raw, bleak, unforgiven heavy metal mixed with spells from the very depths of the misty Finnish forests. Havukruunu's Stefa had this to say about the upcoming reissue: "INTO THE CONIFEROUS CASTLE….. Ten years ago, we didst unleash an abomination of immortal-worship, improvised guitar solos and a first glance of a certain type of spiritual freedom, the very first full-length Havukruunu album HAVULINNAAN and thus began our search. Experience our then meandering worry anew, through this humble, slightly remastered reissue through Svart records."

A cinque anni dall'uscita del loro acclamato album 
“Hospodi”, le icone del BLACK METAL polacco 
PATRIARKH (ex Batushka) tornano con il nuovo concept 
album “ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ” (il Profeta Elijah). Dopo una 
controversia legale per l’uso del nome, il cantante 
Bartłomiej “Варфоломей” Krysiuk ha rinominato la 
band Patriarkh e manda alle stampe quello che può 
essere considerato il nuovo album dei Batushka ed il 
primo lavoro su etichetta Napalm Records. Senza ombra 
di dubbio, i Patriarkh sono uno dei gruppi più eccitanti 
dell'attuale scena EXTREME METAL e sono ora più che 
pronti a portare la loro essenza di BLACK METAL arcano 
che fa tremare le ossa! Con otto composizioni nuove, 
l'album porta l'ascoltatore nel mondo di Eliasz Klimowicz, 
il profeta Ilja, un contadino analfabeta che fu il leader 
della setta ortodossa Grzybowska. I Patriarkh diffondono 
il loro vangelo con un arsenale di strumenti FOLK, come 
tagelharpa, mandolino, mandocello, ghironda e dulcimer 
a corde, e con un'orchestra sinfonica e cori. Come per i 
Batushka, la sacralità ortodossa si mescola con il BLACK e 
il DOOM METAL, ora ampiamente arricchito con la 
musica FOLK, il NEO DARK FOLK e persino la musica da 
film. La band utilizza l'intera tavolozza della musica 
ortodossa, avventurandosi nelle aree della monodia 
bizantina, del canto liturgico e della polifonia russa, 
adattando ordinatamente le melodie folk e liturgiche al 
proprio stile.  Tuffatevi nelle ombre più profonde con 
questo capolavoro del BLACK METAL e unitevi ai 
PATRIARKH in questa intrigante cavalcata!
