Cult Black Metal from Czech Republic

Three essential albums – „Ritual“, „Jilemnický okultista“ and „Vracejte konve na místo“, will be reissued on vinyl and jewel-case CD in mid-November.

Their preparation required several months of work:
The band found the original production tape from 1991 fir „Ritual“ and achieved a result that sonically surpasses the original release.
„Jilemnický okultista“ and „Vracejte konve na místo“, underwent new, more sensitive re-mastering.
All titles will be released as gatefold double vinyls and jewel-case CDs.The new artwork includes original, some previously unpublished illustrations and photographs reproduced in the highest quality. The inserted double sheets of the vinyls contain not only lyrics and archival documents but also current interviews with František Štorm.

It was but March 2021 when Austria's AUSSICHTSLOS burst from the void, fully formed, with their Völlig Aussichtslos debut album. Remarkably assured, classically inclined, the power-trio presented grim, harsh, but oft-hard-rocking black metal that favorably recalled the post-Strength & Honour landscape of Finland as well as ancient-days Germania ala Luror, Wolfsmond, and Hellfucked. Six months later, AUSSICHTSLOS amazingly released another full-length, Einsicht. While it was chronologically their second album, Einsicht was actually recorded in 2020, before the release of Völlig Aussichtslos took place. Either way, between the two records did AUSSICHTSLOS show themselves as new contenders in austere black metal classicism, capable of tradition but also thought-provoking lyrics reflecting upon inner struggles so universal to the human experience.

And so it goes with Schicksalstotschlag, arguably AUSSICHTSLOS' most desperate record yet. While it may've been quiet on the Austrian front the past few years, that does nothing to dim the fire of their third full-length: Schicksalstotschlag is at once urgent and reserved, violently passionate but poised and stoic - and of course, as anthemic as ever. Not for nothing is PURITY THROUGH FIRE known as the stronghold of Teutonic steel, its sword-wielders capable of a catchiness as wild and windswept as any biergarten, and AUSSICHTSLOS keep apace on Schicksalstotschlag, keeping the riffs rocking as ever and the heart enflamed with emotion. Their production, as always, is on the palatable side of "polished," crisp and clean and gleaming with steely-eyed pride, making these nine songs the penultimate in battle-charging bombast and ballast. Credit new drummer Kartharziss (who also provides tasteful synths) with that proud pulse, although vocalist / lyricist Norsk (unchain his heart!) and fellow six-stringer Garst hold their own and help make the closing nine-minute epic "Hochverrat" the band's best track to date. Black metalsmiths of destiny, unite again for Schicksalstotschlag!

La chiusura della Trilogia del nulla!

"Buonanotte Berlinguer" 

Il nuovo disco di CIGNO inizia come un sabba scatenato, inizia con l’orrore. L’orrore di chi si confronta con il distacco del proprio superiore, sia esso un’entità, un capo od un partner. Sembra che il campo d’azione, rispetto all’esordio, sia definitivamente tracimato, andando a cogliere l’intera vita, nelle sfere che la compongono, come atto drammatico e di rottura. Sin dall’immagine di copertina veniamo schiaffati davanti all’immenso, quasi gettati negli antri più oscuri dei cammini danteschi. Le percussioni, la pece e le chitarre urlanti fanno poi il resto. Un grand guignol composto da diverse pietanze, stanze e sostanze

A tratti fa paura, una paura da brividi: Pax è da brividi sulla schiena, Ogochukwu mette in mostra una giostra del dolore abietta, una Frate Dolcino vengono amputati naso e pene, una Censure e torture. Stefano cucchi tra le fiamme. Vien voglia di urlare, bestemmiare e tirar testate contro il muro per distogliersi dalle quintalate di merda sparsa in questo disco, diretta a testa e cuore, ricoprendoci di lordume.
È un brutto mondo, dipinto da un disco splendido.

Orgasm in metal. Hidden classic, wanted by many. Hard to find, finally in your sight!
Hellhammer & Venom fans will remember how good the scene was back at that time!
And for the new generation, a right in your face of pure fucking warfare!

With their new album The Lurking Shadow of Death it is clear that Ars Veneficium has not taken the song writing for granted and managed to overthrow their previous work once more with delivering only the best of their best on this record. From the compositions to the production to the artwork, one can undoubtedly say that this is their best work thus so far.

The lead guitars by Ronarg deliver some amazing melodies variated with some aggressive chords where the bass guitar (once again) plays some beautiful underlaying solo notes to create that extra atmosphere which is more or less the Ars Veneficium signature by now. The drum work has been delivered by no one else than Flo Musil (Theotoxin) who blasts his way throughout the album with some outstanding, highly skilled details giving the extra punch that this album absolutely deserves. The vocals by S. are more furious than before and deliver a much wider range and diversity which lifts the whole album to a new level.

With The Lurking Shadow of Death, Ars Veneficium has delivered an absolute beast of a black metal album that every fan of old school, satanic or melodic black metal would appreciate! Raging black metal filled with atmosphere, melodies and pumping energy! A must have!

French one-man melodic black metal band Inherits The Void is back with the third studio album in four years. Fifteen months after the acclaimed The Impending Fall Of The Stars, multi-instrumentalist A is back with a brand-new studio record.
As introduced by Inherits The Void mastermind A. himself, “Scars Of Yesteryears is a melodic black metal album which embodies the artistic choices initiated with its predecessor. However, Scars Of Yesteryears is more diverse in its musical influences, while wanting to be more direct and incisive in its musical approach. In this, the album draws its inspiration from both the Swedish and French Black Metal scenes with the aim of combining the stylistic visions specific to each universe.
The eight songs that follow one another in the album reflect a now more enterprising crossover between Atmospheric/Melodic Black Metal and early Melodic Death Metal, combining also more epic and doomy parts than in the past.
The theme of the album deals with the legacy left by past and present societies, whether through struggles, revolutions or even through the traces that we ourselves leave and which, themselves, lead to the destruction of our environment”.
Doubtlessly Inherits The Void’s most diverse and mature work to date, Scars Of Yesteryears succeeds in paying homage to the godfathers of the Swedish death and black metal scene, yet keeping a personal, present sound and never giving in to mere nostalgia. 

OTHER WORLD is a crushing and contemporary Black Metal band based in California, where ex-members of BLACK SALVATION, PILLORIAN and BOREWORM explore the beauty in chaos and darkness.

After arriving on DMP in authoritative style with epic 2023 single "Of Death and Alteration", the band expand and consolidate their vision via new album "Tenebrous": an intensely emotive and hard-hitting representation of being locked away from the light with only anxiety, loss and grief for company.

OTHER WORLD underpins their cinematic and hypnotic Black Metal with the ripping propulsion of Death Metal and the monolithic solemnity of Doom. A product of seasoned and skilled musicians, "Tenebrous" finds weight by contrasting unsparing lyrical/vocal despondency, low-slung riffing and powerhouse drumming with the judicious use of calming neo-gothic choral sections, uplifting harmonised melodies and the cathartic sense of a fight-back from dark and murky depths.
