Aquilus started out as an atmospheric metal solo-project by Horace Rosenqvist from Melbourne, Australia, whose works encompass different styles of atmospheric music inspired by classical, folk, and other genres. Being conceived sometime in the early 2000’s, after some experimental demos and an EP “Arbor” in 2007, Aquilus released their debut album "Griseus", created soley by Rosenqvist, on CD through ATMF in 2011. A 2013 vinyl release by Blood Music raised the band into public consciousness, and "Griseus" slowly amassed a following of devoted fans, climbing its way to being voted one of the top albums of the decade on MetalStorm.

Limited edition of 400 copies pressed on black vinyl.

MEFITIS is a dark metal endeavor dedicated to venturing the shadowy depths and desolate expanses of musical expression. Formed by Pendath and Vatha in 2007, Mefitis would from day one embody a metallic maelstrom intruding on the defined boundaries of extreme music. After some fallow years, the duo emerged to realize their dark metal vision with the 2019 full length Emberdawn. This record put forth their signature style of boundless songwriting across black and death metal, telling parables of degradation and savagery in both lyrics and the very music itself. The kindling now sparked, Mefitis returned in 2021 with their follow up in Offscourings. Here they would expand further on the possibilities of dark metal, exploring gloomier climes and thornier guitar arrangements. In addition, the band solidified a conceptual framework for the music to occupy, known as Skoria. In this parallel world out of time, the music, themes, and imagery could exist as ideas unto themselves rather than mere simulacra.

And so, Mefitis brings you their newest work: a duology in grey titled The Skorian // The Greyleer. Initially conceived as an experiment for analog tape, the new record is informed by the constraints and particular character of that medium. Every piece of sound you will hear was initially tracked to tape and then digitized and mixed by Mefitis. The dual title is indicative of the two halves, which were recorded in separate time spans and studio locations. However, The Skorian and The Greyleer are reflections of each other, and can be appreciated both in parts and in whole. Where past works looked outward to an ashen world, this new release contemplates its own crumbling edifice. It calls into question the very notion of one’s ‘self’ as an entity in thrall to its master. Witness now this loathing gallery, and join the grey.

"Reuniting together on one supreme release, the exclusive songs that originally appeared on the 2012 split album with Monarque, and the four epic tracks that graced the 2016 split release with French black metallers ENDE, originally know as "Le Puits Des Morts". The dark hymn "Le Puits Des Morts" is featuring important figures of the Métal Noir Québécois scene as guest vocalists, including Athros (Forteresse), Blanc Feu (Cantique Lépreux / Chasse-Gallerie), Monarque (Monarque / Sanctuaire), Nordet (Brume d'Automne). It also features I. Luciferia from ENDE with guest backing vocals.
"Sous La Lune Noire" present some of their darkest and evil material, but also have epic and highly atmospheric moments."

"Monuments Anciens" is a collection of exclusive tracks along with instrumental demo recordings from Sorcier Des Glaces. Some of them were recorded back in 2001 on an old tape-recorder, which later versions of these songs ended-up on the third Sorcier Des Glaces album "The Puressence of Primitive Forests".
It also features exclusive tracks that were intentionally recorded with raw production in 2010/2011.

"Monuments Anciens" offers some of the rawest and very primitive Sorcier Des Glaces material, always picturing the black, cold & evil world SDG is known for".

"Sorcier Des Glaces' second offering to the mortal world was recorded just two years after the very first album, in August 1999. Nevertheless, the maturity of their sound and composition is perceptible. It's no longer a one-man band this time, involving Luc more extensively, who this time records all the drum parts and also participates in the elaboration of several keyboard parts. The infernal duo is officially up and running.

With its icy atmosphere and dark yet melodic compositions reflecting the northern forests of Quebec, "Moonrise in Total Darkness" defines a young band still in exploration mode. Certainly more raw in its aestheticism than the band's more recent material, but with an authenticity that has forged their identity over the years".

Snowland" is the very first chapter of Sorcier Des Glaces, the spark that made the original flame grow. This first draft was certainly very raw, tinged with innocence and spontaneity.
A blizzard had just broken out, in the eternal winter that had just set in.

Snowland is cold, really cold, pure, lo-fi in the extreme, achieving the very first goal of what Sorcier Des Glaces wanted to evoke in the eyes of the world. Expressing disgust with the human race by exiling himself to its own snowland, the melodies evoke a certain romanticism of the great Nordic forests. He is then alone to begin his reign on his night's throne.

"Ritual of the End" is the fifth conjuring from Sorcier Des Glaces. It represents the annihilation of the human race, through seven blackened incantations.
The sound of SDG evolved a lot on that album, getting heavier, faster and darker, but always retaining a strong melodic core.
Sorcier Des Glaces delivers again their Cold Primitive Metal sound straight from the northern forests of Québec. Feel the darkness that penetrates you...

Sargeist returns with an all-new entry into the black metal genre.
They take their sound and refine it into an unrelenting machine of darkness.
They keep all of their bass-lines that they're known for and amplify them into some of the best hearing in a long time. The guitar riffs are second to none. You seriously get the idea that Shatraug, Hoath Torog and Horns spent a lot of time sifting through different sounds and styles to try and find the best possible sound for this release. The drums, although sometimes a little too repetitive, sound top notch most of the time.
The band blends all these together to make some of the most melodic, dark and cold parts, to the most raw, brutal and intense parts.

Re-issue properly with a complete updated layout released with leading band member Shatraug himself as supervisor.

"To Lunar Poetry" is a full-length album that contains the new versions of timeless classics from the "Lunar Poetry" demo that were written by the band (thus leaving in 1996 the material from other authors that was present of the demo). Beyond this, new album brings forth the renewed Return of the Vampire Lord epic initially released in 1997 on the EP of the same name and new full-force intro composition.

After ten years of existence, the Alpine French, re-issued their five albums under the banner of their own record label “LES SOLDATS DE LA MUSIQUE” with Osmose Productions as exclusive distributor.

From the top of their peaks, they observe the surge of men in the plains.
In these times where the inversion of values and generalized entropy reign, their voices sound the call of the ultimate fight.
Launched into a frantic cavalcade, they reveal their vision of a world ready to implode.
Cry of despair, alarm or revolt; the B.M.H fraternity spits out the purest beauties and the harshest realities.
