Hailing from Norway, KVAD indeed performs black metal exclusively in the ancient Nordic tradition. The band is yet another project of the ever-prolific Peregrinus, who numbers the likes of UNHOLY CRAFT, SOLUS GRIEF, Hjemsøkt, Darkest Bethlehem, and Praefuro among his current endeavors. Then a duo, in 2022, KVAD released the Invocations EP and Cold & Dark, As Life debut album in quick succession, and now Peregrinus continues to strike while the burning church is hot with their second album, So Old.

On one hand, So Old is aptly titled: the album begins with a desolate melancholy of what once was, and then the blizzard of distortion leads into a cryogenic grimness not unlike mid-'90s Gorgoroth, particularly the hackle-raising, Hat-esque screams of Peregrinus. And so KVAD follows this trajectory for a good deal of the album...but their songwriting unfolds, fever-dreaming into strange shapes not found among the ashes of those churches. While never dissonant per se, that blizzard of riffing soon compounds into a fury/flurry backed by Peregrinus' brisk-yet-building drums; it's a howling hysteria that's not altogether untuneful, and its slipstreaming vortex suggests the superlative late '90s psychedelia of Svest and Weakling. But, much as he does with his other projects, Peregrinus is not one to be (exclusively) pinned down to one specific style, and possesses the songwriting nous to turn these classics-minded creations into ones respectably modern. So Old, and yet so alive!

Swedish black metal legends CRAFT reissue their long out of print, landmark debut album 'Total Soul Rape'.
A cornerstone of the Swedish black metal scene,'Total Soul Rape' is a bold and brazen collection of 9 tracks that established CRAFT as one of the angriest and most nihilistic entities in black metal. Tracks like "Death To Planet Earth", "Ultimate Satan", and the album's ferocious title track are the blueprint for how extreme underground black metal should sound; with memorable riffs, chaotic drumming, and some of the most misanthropic vocals of all time.
A wholly unrelenting black metal classic, 'Total Soul Rape' is a manifesto of absolute negativity that introduced CRAFT as unrivaled in their quest to be the most pessimistic, unforgiving, and aggressive band in metal.
Death to planet Earth!

For fans of DARKTHRONE, PEST, ARMAGGEDDA, URGEHAL, TSJUDER, KATHARSIS, CARPATHIAN FOREST.

Originally released in 2002, CRAFT's 'Terror Propaganda' saw the cult Swedish black metal band sharpen their knives and delivering one of their most focused albums. Long out of print, the uncompromising 'Terror Propaganda' is some of the most grim and hideous European black metal. On it CRAFT take influence from the old guard (genre cornerstones such as BATHORY and CELTIC FROST) and combine these with their own stamp of sonic violence. 'Terror Propaganda' is one of CRAFT's most unforgiving records, and remains a highlight to this day.

For fans of early-DARKTHRONE, ARMAGEDDA, PEST, URGEHAL, TSJUDER.

With 'White Noise and Black Metal', Sweden's CRAFT return to strength after a long hiatus.
The forthcoming album combines the vitriolic virtues of 'Terror Propaganda' (2002) with an updated songwriting that is as mature and intelligent as it is razor-sharp. The fast and furious of extreme metal contrasts with dark and depressive passages with added undertones of black 'n' roll. Now CRAFT are ready to take a giant step in their career with the extremely strong 'White Noise and Black Metal'. This is misanthropic Swedish black metal honed to perfection.

For fans of early-DARKTHRONE, ARMAGEDDA, PEST, URGEHAL, TSJUDER.

Since its inception in 1993, TSJUDER has always been delivering Norwegian Black Metal in the classic raw and rattling style, yet without ever giving in to the temptation of wallowing in nostalgia.
As can be heard on the present reissue of their long sold-out and much sought after second album originally released in 2002, not a single note in their music has to be dyed black.
That’s simply because the roots that are clearly showing are all glistening with the abyssal musical non-colour pioneered by BATHORY, CELTIC FROST, and VENOM as well as those Northern masters MAYHEM, DARKTHRONE, and EMPEROR.
The venomous and vicious throat rendering by bassist Nag and guitarist Draugluin entwines with thorny, relentlessly driving riffs and an infernal rhythmical ice storm unleashed by drummer Jontho.
Available again on special price CD, this milestone of True Norwegian Black Metal are described by the band as "raw and uncompromising black metal".
No post, no progressive, no whatever!

For Fans of URGEHAL, ABBATH, 1349, IMMORTAL, TAAKE, MARDUK, CARPATHIAN FOREST.
