CD in deluxe Digipak with 8-page booklet

There are few funeral doom bands out there that manage to express sorrow and despair in such a majestic and beautiful manner as SHAPE OF DESPAIR. The Finns’ latest full-length is a product of their environment, enveloping the listener in cold, eternal darkness like a lonely Finnish winter. And much like the long, funereal winters of their homeland, the atmosphere in ‘Return to the Void’ is bleak but ethereal. The funeral doom icons do not merely offer a soundtrack to one’s agony, but also demonstrate the beauty that can often be found in misery.

For fans of FUNERAL, MOURNFUL CONGREGATION, BELL WITCH, AHAB, EVOKEN.

Mark Deeks, who earned his PhD in Philosophy on the topic of "National Identity in Northern and Eastern European Heavy Metal", is also a member of leading UK black metal stalwarts WINTERFYLLETH and keeps himself busy as a musical director, arranger, piano coach, and conductor as well as a best selling author. On "Take Up My Bones", Mark is supported by WOLCENSMEN mastermind Dan Capp on guitars and backing vocals. He is also joined by ATAVIST drummer Callum Cox, and a spellbinding performance from cellist Jo Quail (MY DYING BRIDE et al.) delivers the coup de grace

"777 – Sects(s)" is an organic, cascading volume of deviant, dark art that exhibits BLUT AUS NORD’s natural habitat, a cleansing blade amid transitory moments of non-importance. Hypnotic guitars, discomforting beats and alienating voices clash with the ferocity of aural tectonic plates to produce horrific Black Metal decadence for an anonymous, lost, irrelevant generation.

"The Tasmanian melodic black metal group ATRA VETOSUS return with their new EP ‘Even The Dawn No Longer Brings Hope', to be released on 29th January, 2021 by Belgium based label Immortal Frost Productions.

The EP combines aspects of melodic, atmospheric, depressive and post black metal and serves as a sequel to 2018's APRICITY and bridges the gap between APRICITY and the upcoming full length album.

EVEN THE DAWN NO LONGER BRINGS HOPE is a clear and beautiful piece of musical art that interweaves lush, melancholic passages and sweeping, majestic soundscapes spread over 3 memorable and enthralling tracks."
