An enchanting debut
With their 2005 debut album "Of Dreams Forgotten And Fables Untold", The Moon And The Nightspirit at once created a niche of their own between Medieval Music and Pagan Folk. Conceptually, the Hungarian duo addresses the innocence of childhood, the power of dreams and the yearning for a golden age of the soul, which corresponds with the positive, magical-seeming aura of the music.

The Moon And The Nightspirit's third album is the group's most spiritual one
On "Osforrás" from 2009 the Hungarians ponder questions about enlightenment, tackle shamanism and rituals as well as the mental renunciation of all things mundane. Therefore, it is not surprising that apart from a distinct touch of Near Eastern music, also shamanistic-seeming chants and hypnotising rhythms make their way into the band's music.

"Rego Rejtem" was released in 2007. Its concept is rooted in the struggle for freedom, the departure from the material world in favour of wilderness. According to these topics, "Rego Rejtem" is strongly influenced by Celtic World Music, a tendency already heard on the predecessor "Of Dreams…".
Precizní hypnotický atmosferický doom metal, sludge, post rock. Švédsko.
The Moth Gatherer is a band of varying genres, centered around atmospheric doom, sludge and post metal. Their prolific approach includes electric musical stylings, along with traces of melodic post-rock.
The band commented on "Esoteric Oppression": "We’ve put our very fabric into it. Its creation has been a path paved with distress and frustration; one that has left us totally exhausted. But all our effort shows in the music and we can now say that it was worth the turmoil. We’re extremely proud to present Esoteric Oppression to you all. We hope you love it as much as we do".
The Moth Gatherer emerged in 2008 on the initiative of Victor Wegeborn and Alex Stjernfeldt, as a form of therapy to help them deal with loss. The name of the band is an allegory for finding hope; similairly to moths who are always searching for the light. Operating as a duo, they released a debut album "A Bright Celestial Light" in...
Velice pozoruhodná kooperace bulharského folklórního ansáblu s legendární zpěvačkou Dead Can Dance.
The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices will release their first album of new studio recordings in over two decades on May 25th, 2018. Better known to many as Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares (Grammy winner for “Best Traditional Folk Recording”), ‘BooCheeMish’ sees the esteemed Bulgarian choir performing together with erstwhile 4AD Records label mate Lisa Gerrard (co-founder of the duo Dead Can Dance) on several tracks, thereby uniting two of the most distinctive vocal acts working in music. Gerrard, who is also well known for her movie soundtrack work on films such as ‘Gladiator’ and ’The Insider’, has often spoken about the influence the choir exerted on her singing technique when she discovered their music in the early 1980’s.
In successfully connecting Bulgarian folklore with other traditions and cultures, the album manages to retain the unique identity of the voices, vocal styles and...

THE PROJECT HATE MCMXCIX are back with sixty minutes of heavy brutality and blasphemous beauty. Their seventh album is mixed and mastered at Unisound by legendary producer Dan Swanö (OPETH, MARDUK, DISSECTION) and includes guest performances by Leif Edling (CANDLEMASS), Mike Wead (KING DIAMOND), and Jocke Widfeldt (VICIOUS ART) among others. THE PROJECT HATE MCMXCIX was founded in 1998 by Lord K. Philipson (GOD AMONG INSECTS) and Jörgen Sandström (GRAVE, ENTOMBED) and gained good following with their first six albums from “Cybersonic Superchrist” (2000) to "The Lustrate Process" (2009). Due to their rare live appearances the band gained a cult status. Their unique style blending Swedish Death Metal with female vocals is enhanced by new members Tobben Gustafsson on drums (VOMITORY) and former WITCHBREED singer Ruby Roque.

Zbrusu nové album kultovní německé gothic metalové kapely. Digipack.
THE VISION BLEAK return in grand style: The German duo's seventh full-length "Weird Tales" constitutes a monumental tribute to the eponymous American pulp magazine and other tales of mystery and dark imagination. The album consists of a single track that is divided into internal chapters, which are each inspired by weird tales, poems, and other literature of horror and the macabre. On "Weird Tales", THE VISION BLEAK are referring to eminent writers of the legendary magazine such as H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith, but also allude to authors that were never featured in the magazine, for example Edgar Allen Poe and Lafcadio Hearn, whose "Fantastics and Other Fancies" was very influential for this album. THE VISION BLEAK are pulling every register of their enormous musical prowess. The chapters range stylistically from flamboyant gothic rock via dark doom to harsh black and death metal parts – and about...
Nové album pozoruhodné ruské kapely. Digipack.
CD Digipak in slipcase with 8-page booklet.
From album to album, THEODOR BASTARD carefully and masterly combine many different exotic and traditional instruments. 'Volch'ya Yagoda' is no exception.
The special northern atmosphere of the album is created with Nordic nyckelharpa and jouhikko, primeval flutes created from tree roots and shamanic percussion. And as always, the leading role in the album belongs to the voice of Yana Veva, exciting and bewitching by its deepness.
'Volch'ya Yagoda' takes the listener to the cold and twilight realms of marshy swamps of taiga and mossy tundra, to unexplored places where the earthly plane and the spiritual world are separated only by a very thin ghostly veil.
For fans of Heilung, Garmarna and Wardruna.

The serpent has escaped God's great zoo
With Kundalini Rising, something significant approaches us. "Just like a hissing cobra slowly wrenching from the shadows" - this is how the duo, comprising of band founder Mika Goedrijk and Karolus Lerocq who joined the band in 2010, describes its ninth studio album.
Working on Kundalini Rising signalled the departure for new and more varied musical and spiritual realms for This Morn' Omina. Their last album L'Unification Des Forces Opposantes was released in 2011 and marked the completion of their Nyan Trilogy which was created over the course of eight years - now it was time for new myths and new visions.
In Tantric lore, the term Kundalini - meaning serpent power in Sanskrit - describes a spiritual power inherent to each human, symbolized by a coiled snake at the base of your spine which can be awakened and incited to rise by the practice of Yoga. When this process is entirely...
