Velmi pěkný litevský folk rock. Krásné digipackové balení.
The famous Lithuanian folk-rock band ATALYJA presents its third album: its solar theme is revealed not only through lyrics but also via fresh and sunny sound. The album uniquely combines solid rock composition, world improvisation and experiments, while the multicoloured instrumentation is adorned by traditional Lithuanian kanklės, bagpipe, violins, along with Indian bansuri and tabla. The sound is solid, delicate and inflaming. The twelve tracks include charming Samogitian songs, Latvian mythological saga, interpretations of sutartinės (glees), few surprising compositions and a dramatic culmination "Eglė's Curse" (motif from the epic Lithuanian fairy tale). The album is dedicated to the Millenium of Lithuania.Presented in a white 4 panel digipack.

Mrazivý atmosférický black metal z Islandu.
Hailing from Iceland, AUÐN are the latest offspring from the burgeoning black metal scene in this land of ice and snow to set their dark sails for foreign shores. On their second full-length album 'Farvegir Fyrndar', AUÐN deliver haunting melodies and beautifully frozen atmospheres – as opposed to the jarring and caustic blunt force trauma that has recently brought the island to the black metal forefront. With 'Farvegir Fyrndar', AUÐN not only demonstrate the impressive progress of their songwriting skills but also deliver a clear definition of their very own black sound.
Druhé album islandské atmosférické black metalové kapely. Digipack.
As the country's vibrant black metal scene has proven, Iceland can be a beautiful and sinister place where furious elements rage teaching fear but also inspiring human creativity. Emphasizing melodies rather than dissonance and approaching their music from a dramatic, classical black metal angle, AUÐN deliver another mesmerizing piece of art with ‘Vökudraumsins fangi’.
This album explore new soundscapes and push their music to new heights, thereby setting themselves further apart from their Icelandic contemporaries. The six piece draws inspirations from their natural surroundings, but also chart the territory of the mind. The album title literally translates to ‘prisoner of the daydream’, but rather refers to a perpetual state of delusion of a life that never took place.
Join AUÐN while traversing the blurred lines between reality and the supernatural and the otherworldly sceneries of their native...
Abstraktní elektronika / minimalistický dark ambient z USA.
Atmosférický ambient black metal z USA. Digipack.
Aureole is Markov Soroka's abstract and ambient exploration of the universe around him. It takes place in the same narrative world as his other projects Tchornobog and Drown but explores the depths of space. "Alunar" is Aureole's 2014 debut, a fuzzed out and distinctly atmospheric work inundated in Cascadian black metal sounds although emerging from a completely different locale.
"Like any genre of music, there are true gems that transcend what our perceptions of that genre are, and I think Alunar is solidly in that category. " - Metal Bandcamp
"It’s a living, breathing landscape of hopelessness that this album paints in its sprawling lamentations." - Cvlt Nation
Zbrusu nové album AUREOLE vydané ve velice luxusním knižním vydání a doplněné o další dvě bonusová CD.
3CD Book Edition (Hardcover, 18x18cm, 36 pages), lyrics, drawings, photos, plus 2 bonus CDs featuring an EP, tracks from a split LP, early demo tracks, and live performances.
For whom the bells toll in the Citadel Alunar shall encounter the Bellmaster! The particularly sinister and insidious musical and lyrical universe that Markov "M.S." Soroka is continuously creating with his various projects AUREOLE and TCHORNOBOG as well as ETERNIUM, KRUKH, and DROWN is enriched by a new chapter: The third AUREOLE full-length "Alunarian Bellmaster" differs stylistically from its direct predecessor "Aurora Borealis" (2016) in atmosphere and feeling. The album returns to the spirit of the 2014 debut "Alunar" albeit as a more advanced version with the added experience regarding production techniques and conceptual writing that Soroka has acquired over the years. Armed with a vicious sound,...
Zbrusu nové album AUSTERE v luxusním artbookovém vydání s druhým bonusovým diskem.
"Beneath the Threshold" represents AUSTERE in the here and now. With their fourth full-length the Australians have taken a long step into the present and embrace their musical future in a way that might have been expected after a 13-year hiatus. When their voluntary break ended with the release of "Corrosion of Hearts" in 2023, the duo consisting of Mitchell Keepin and Tim Yatras returned with a more mature and defined version of their own particular style of black metal, which reflected both their greater experience and evolution as artists. While "Corrosion of Hearts" formed the bridge between the band's musical history and the artists' fresh vision, "Beneath the Threshold" takes a leap of expression. AUSTERE's sonic heritage is still alive. Even though their roots in early Norse black metal and its depressive Scandinavian offspring continue to shine through, it is also apparent that the...
Sebrané vydání kultovní australské depressive black metalové kapely nyní vychází na německém labelu Prophecy Productions. Nádherné vydání jako art book!
Before AUSTERE release their long-awaited third full-length, the veteran depressive black metal duo from Wollongong in Australia's east coast state New South Wales will offer their complete catalogue of cult recordings as an essential anthology. Entitled "Towards The Great Unknown", this must-have collection comes in the beautiful shape of a 36-page, 4CD artbook and will be released on August 26, 2022.
"Towards The Great Unknown" includes AUSTERE's debut album "Withering Illusions and Desolation" (2007), the band's contributions to the split-releases "Only the Wind Remembers / Ending the Circle of Life" (with LYRINX, 2008) and "Bleak..." (with ISOLATION, 2008) as well as the Australian's sophomore album "To Lay like Old Ashes" (2009). Previously unreleased material is added on a bonus CD that contains the two re-imagined tracks...

Melancholický náladotvůrný trip rock ve stylu Katatonia, Portishead. Německo.
A portrait of the soul in monochrome
The second album by Autumnblaze marks a radical cut with the project's Folk-Metal past. Featuring Schwadorf (Empyrium) as drummer, bassist, and producer, Autumnblaze create a masterwork of emotional Trip Rock somewhere between Portishead and Katatonia - the best album of their career.
V reedici znovuvydané debutní album AUTUMNBLAZE z roku 1999. Vychází jako dvojCD a druhý disk obsahuje spoustu bonusů.
Ten years ago, in the early summer of 1999, Autumnblaze released their lyrical and epic debut album "DämmerElbenTragödie". To celebrate this anniversary, Prophecy Productions will release - in parallel with the new Autumnblaze studio album "Perdition Diaries" - a special edition of "DämmerElbenTragödie" as a double CD containing all official recordings by Autumnblaze preceding the "Bleak" era.
The "DämmerElbenTragödie" bonus CD includes:
- "Dreaming Moonspark Fairylands" (Autumnblaze's 1997 seven-track demo, for the first time available on CD!)
- "Every Silent Moment I Weep" (7" EP from 1998 with two tracks, for the first time available on CD!)
- "My Ebony Wound" (previously unreleased song from the "DämmerElbenTragödie" sessions!)
An extended booklet with a three-pages essay on Autumnblaze's early years and liner notes by Alvar Eldron rounds off this...
Melancholický náladotvůrný trip rock, post gothic metal. Německo.
How meaningfully and aptly this cryptic announcement was chosen. Whereas Autumnblaze's debut, "DämmerElbenTragödie", was characterised by its mystical, metallic eruptions, in this album it is the many diverse expressions that mark a new passionate artwork of sound. Trip-hop beats, rock outbursts, melancholic pop-melodies; comforting warmth, bleak hopelessness, and dream-like, sumptuous clouds of atmosphere: all these are the criteria that label "Mute Boy Sad Girl" as an album that needs to be experienced - an album that wants to touch you deeply and clearly succeeds in doing so.
Melancholický dark gothic metal v duchu kapel 90-tých let. Německo.
A tribute to the dark metal of the 1990s
With their 2009 reunion album "Perdition Diaries", the classic line-up of Autumnblaze - Eldron, Arisjel, and Schwadorf - has risen like a phoenix from the ashes. This album is a reminiscence to the dark metal of the 1990s, to a time where the conventions of metal were trampled underfoot and the genre's conceptual chains were irrevocably broken from the inside. Eldron puts it more precisely: "Bands such as Paradise Lost, Anathema, Katatonia, My Dying Bride, Dark Tranquillity, or At The Gates are prime examples for an exploration of the human soul, the struggle of the individual against the chasms of life. Away from the metal standards of the 1980s, towards a kind of deeply emotional resistance against the norms. We continue that which was begun in the early nineties!"
Akustické provedení některých skladeb od Autumnblaze. Digipack.
In celebration of their unplugged tour with Antimatter in autumn 2003, Autumnblaze re-recorded songs from the albums "Bleak" and "Mute Boy Sad Girl" for the acoustic album "The Mute Sessions". While the band combined trippy beats with rocking eruptions on their previous releases, the group around Markus B. show their proximity to classic singer/songwriters on "The Mute Sessions" to enchant their listeners in a much more intimate way.
