Pekelný jihoamerický black metal. Brazílie.

Old school doom death metal z Německa. Lahůdka pro příznivce Paradise Lost, Entombed, Dismember. Digipack. Voices from a Fathomless Realm" is the first full-length from CAVERNOUS GATE. The German death doom outfit is a solo-project of multi-instrumentalist Sebastian "S.K." Körkemeier. Sebastian has co-founded HELRUNAR under the alias Alsvartr and he also supports Markus "Schwadorf" Stock's black metal project SUN OF THE SLEEPLESS as well as EMPYRIUM live. CAVERNOUS GATE and "Voices from a Fathomless Realm" are quite obviously musical works of love. Sebastian is successfully channelling his penchant for British doom and death acts such as earliest PARADISE LOST and CATHEDRAL as well as Swedish death metal in the vein of early ENTOMBED and DISMEMBER into a dark, depressive, and massive monolith of ultra-heaviness. On "Voices from a Fathomless Realm", Sebastian's granite-grinding and abysmally low growls clearly dominate, but are on rare occasions beautifully contrasted with Jenny...

Debutní album melancholické finské kapely, která vznikla na troskách Ghost Brigade. Digipack. When four former members of much loved but sadly disbanded Finnish metal act GHOST BRIGADE got together for a conversation in their hometown Jyväskylä in late 2020, things escalated quickly into an unexpected direction that ultimately led to the birth of CERESIAN VALOT. With multiple songwriters in their new band as well as two vocalists singing in Finnish, guitarist and main songwriter Wille Naukkarinen was confident that the musical style of the new band would change all by itself. Time proved him right, with the sound of the debut album "Uumen" ("Depths") turning out as stylistically very dynamic and multidimensional with a broad range of sound and vision that include alternative, rock, progressive, and various genres of metal among others. Written in Finnish language, the lyrics on this album circle around the theme of insecurity. While the album often sounds bleak and melancholic, its...

Black metal / Crust. Velká Británie.

Zbrusu nové album polské death metalové kapely. Precizní old school v duchu té nejlepší staré americké tradice.   Polish death metal quartet CINIS are back with the third full length. "Lies That Comfort Me" brings forth nine pummeling tracks of tumultuous death metal with massive homage paid to Florida legends and forerunners of the genre, MORBID ANGEL, DEICIDE, and CANNIBAL CORPSE as well as more technical influence from countrymates VADER and DECAPITATED. "Lies That Comfort Me" was recorded between October 2021 and March 2020, engineered by Lukasz Bielemuk, then mixed and mastered at Hertz Studio (BEHEMOTH, VADER, TRAUMA, DECAPITATED). The album is completed with artwork and layout by Tomasz "Hal" Halicki (VADER, DEAD INFECTION). “In the music itself, the song is a fast-paced but jolting barrage of maniacally slugging riffs, hyper-speed drum blasting, and bestial, belly-deep growls. Sounds of sadistic viciousness also well up in hornet-swarm chords, and delirium...

Melancholický náladotvůrný post black metal. Digipack. Holandsko. Welcome to the third highly anticipated full length album of dutch introspective musical experience : COLD BODY RADIATION. ”A Clear Path” is a deeply personal work of loss, honesty and hope. A new focus on songs structure and personal lyrics. Cut from the roots and stylistic restrains of black metal COLD BODY RADIATION is now free to soar new highs and lows. All they want to do is make new music and set their own standards even higher. The depth and quality is tangible in every hair-raising moment, it is honest, textured sound and far more beautiful than a description can attest. ”A clear path” is the soundtrack to your inner growth, and should be approached with caution.

Melancholický náladotvůrný post black metal. Holandsko. The long time sold out second album of seminal shoegaze black metal act Cold Body Radiation is now reissued on jewel case CD format. So hard to categorise, CBR is becoming a fiercely original reference in the so called post-bm shoegaze movement. The new seven compositions come with a pounding sound structure trying to flout all conventions of usual extreme metal audio structures. ‘Deer Twillight’ captures the cold season in all shades and lights. Winter provided a perfect backdrop for melancholy and inner turmoil. This is a personal journey looking for hope in bleak circumstances. Trying to capture the overwhelming beauty and despair of winter.

Melancholický post black metal. Holandsko. With this new album, COLD BODY RADIATION continues the intimate and melancholic path of the previous “The clear path”. These eight new tracks album once again confirm the M. quality and composition depth that, although he definitively abandoned the most extreme sounds, still managed to get us into a restlessness and mystery swirl. ‘The orphean lyre” is an intensely human listening experience. Teeming with life and breathing as it coughs and splutters, there is an unavoidable attachment felt almost instantly as a listener. This is music that drags you in and simply refuses to let go. Do not think, do not listen to, do not judge yourself for what will come out of this experience. Everything is within you and this new COLD BODY RADIATION album is a solid vehicle for a deep work on yourself. Finally.

Gothic darkwave. Rusko.

Zásadní nahrávka italské electro dark wave scény z roku 1995 vychází znovu na CD. COLLOQUIO is well known for exploring the territories between electronic/wave sounds and the italian songwriting tradition. "Io E L’Altro" represents one of the early examples of their soundscapes. As many says nobody sounds and sings the inadequacy of this life like Gianni does. There's something more than mere "music" in his records and there's more than simple "poetry" in his words. Who loves last COLLOQUIO’s works like “L’entrata – L’uscita” or the previuous “Si Muove E Ride” will need to find the basis and roots of that majestic sound in this old but always contemporary output and will greatly enjoy.

Projekt lidí ze Shape of Despair. Melancholický finský dark rock / doom metal. Digipack. Choosing the term "depressive dark rock" to describe themselves doesn't do Counting Hours enough justice as the debut album from this Finnish five-piece not only links their sound to game-changing acts such as Katatonia, Paradise Lost and October Tide but succeeds on evoking the lost feeling of the 90s dark and gothic music scene, mainly because part of what you get to hear on their fresh and intriguing 2018 demo was written during that era, embodying the original atmosphere and vulnerability only a band from those times could materialize. Jarno Salomaa (guitars) comments on the debut full-length: «When we first started with Counting Hours, I basically went to our rehearsal room with Ilpo and had some beers along to record some vocals on the demo stuff I had made. Basically, nothing else besides creating music from the grounds I had made for Rapture back in early 2000. But anyway... Beer, good...

Praotci psychedelického proto doom metalu, kteří se představili také na Brutal Assaultu 2019. Kultovní kapela 70-tých let a toto je jejich 5-ti CD box v luxusním art book vydání. On the sunset eve of the sixties, as flower power was wilting and the winds of change blew a cold breeze over Altamont, Coven struck the first chords of major label satanic rock. Instantly infamous for being the first to use the words "Ave Sathanas" on a record, Coven was boycotted. Not only this but their debut album from 1969 kicks off with a song called 'Black Sabbath.' The bass player's name was Oz Osborne, who can be seen on the albums back cover making the first documented sign of the horns. Now the magick of Coven is coming together in a unique box set. Processed with a faux-velvet cover and golden hotfoil embossment as well as limited to just a thousand copies, this release features all manner of Coven treasures. It includes five LPs; there are, of course, the three classic-era Coven albums,...
