Zbrusu nové, čtvrté album ukrajinské pagan folk metalové kapely. Album na ploše 38 minut obsahuje 8 skladeb melodického a velice pestrého pagan metalu s mužským a ženským vokálem. Celkovou atmosféru samozřejmě doplňuje několik folkových nástrojů (djembe, perkuse, flétny, niněra, bandura, didgeridoo, píšťaly...), ale i viola, cello či trumpeta. Kromě základní, stále tříčlené sestavy se na albu objevuje dalších 12 hostujících muzikantů a čtyři sboristky a sboristé. Vše ve specifickém východoevropském duchu, přesně tak jak to umějí jen kapely z těchto končin. CD obsahuje krásný 20 str. booklet s texty v ukrajinštině a angličtině.
Satanistický black metal. Bělorusko.
Mrazivý black metal / ambient z Kanady.
Funeral doom metal. Finsko.
Temný syrový black metal z Kanady.
Mystický progresivní doom metal z Německa. Projekt lidí z Empyrium.
The so far last album of the oscure Prog duo.
According to legend, a Noekk is as volatile as the water of the river, the sea or the well he protects.
This creature, which is as fickle as it is fascinating, is a reflection of “The Minstrel’s Curse”, the mythical duo’s third album. The Noekk has left the puddles in the hinterland of vintage Progressive Rock, unexpectedly popping up in waters far from home, not giving a damn about genre issues.
Progresivní mystický doom metal z Německa. Projekt lidí z Empyrium.
On one hand Noekk are amazingly strong and direct, and on the other hand they’re mystical and unforeseeable. The comparisons they’ve earned so far – Landberk, King Crimson, and last but not least Empyrium (Yugoth and Baldachin are maybe better known under their former names Schwadorf and Helm) of course – hint at the timeless quality of their music and point out the many facets of this band.

Nové album britské pagan black metalové kapely.
New album "European Paganism" of UK pagan black metal band! Nordland crawled out of the earth in 2012 with the eponymous debut LP. Followed one year later by “The True Cult of the Earth”. After a short break Vorh returned in 2015 with "Songs of Regression" this time on Black Plague Records and Metallic Media in the USA. Now in 2017 “European Paganism” is about to be unleashed. European Paganism marks the triumphant return of Nordland. The 4th heathenistic opus from the fevered mind of one man act Vorh. European Paganism is a concept album, weaving its twisted allegory through a landscape of old souls long forgotten. It is the most ambitious album to date, with 27 minute album opener “The Mountain” echoing the epic progressive albums from which it was inspired. Nordland continues to push the writing of the material while staying true to the original intent. Come and take the first step onto the path towards the mountain!

Melodický moderně znějící death metal z Malediv.
NOTHNEGAL already managed to get widely talked about with only a self produced 4 track EP “Antidote of Realism” (2009) and no international promotion. Their origin from the Maldives alone ensured far spread media interest. Now their debut album will hit the world as an international release. The band was founded by guitarists Hirlarl and Fufu on the capital island Malé in the year 2006. The cousins aimed for a high level of professionalism from the start and enlisted the support of DÅÅTH, ex-CHIMAIRA, ex-DYING FETUS, ex-MISERY INDEX drummer Kevin Talley and Finnish keyboard player Marco Sneck (KALMAH, POISONBLACK). A wise decision that reflects well in the highly precise sharp rhythmical base and elegant cinematic keyboard lines of “Decadence”. Far from evoking images of white beaches and palm trees the album captures its listeners with a dark melancholic streak flowing through excellent executed modern melodic Death Metal.
Misantropický black metal ze Švédska. Jediná 45 minut dlouhá kompozice.
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever."
A vision of our future dystopia is presented on 'Slaves of the Vast Machine", the new album from the Swedish Misanthropic Black Metal duo 'Obitus'. After their 2009 full-length "March of the Drones" and an EP in 2014 , they return with their most solid album yet!
'Slaves of the Vast Machine' conveys human aimlessness and desperation amidst total social control with some brilliant icy riffs and dissonant tones. This is harsh progressive post-Black Metal that is relentless and chaotic from start to finish with some really solid tremolo-picking melodies, inexorable atmosphere, and a complete disregard for humanity.
This work is a single 45 minute track, a monolith without pause and as relentless as totalitarianism.
Progresivní experimentální post metal ze Španělska. Digipack.
With sophomore album 'A Year With No Summer' featuring guest performances by Attila Csihar (MAYHEM) and Garm (ULVER), Spain’s OBISIDIAN KINGDOM move away from their extreme metal roots and towards a more progressive sound. There are still burning guitars and harsh riffing to be found, yet there is also simply much more of everything else. Contrasts, shifts, and raw emotions created and guided by intricate rhythm patterns, electronic tapestries as well as highlights are combined into a carefully composed musical painting of monumental dimensions. There are hints of the epic approach offered by such influences as PINK FLOYD and MARILLION, yet OBSIDIAN KINGDOM use a far darker range of colours on their pallet. There is a constant sense of drowning, darkness and depression threading through 'A Year With No Summer', which binds the wide stylistic range offered by its diverse song material together.

OBSOLETE THEORY “Dawnfall” digiCD
Delirant Post Black Metal in the steps of Behemoth, Enslaved, Mgla, Agalloch
“Dawnfall” is the OBSOLETE THEORY’s sophomore album and pushes their vision of dark music to new levels with a more extreme, sick and violent release. They present a manifesto of heaviness, depth & atmosphere everything into a magnificent extreme music, with six long, complex and full of pathos songs for what we can consider for sure an opus of emotional sonorities.
“Dawnfall” is Post Black Metal for fans of BEHEMOTH, ENSLAVED, MGLA, AGALLOCH, KATATONIA, ALCEST without forgetting the Avantgarde side of their world that is very close to bands such as ARCTURUS and BORKNAGAR.
Just push your mind beyond every limit and be ready to a new vision of dark music.
