Nové album mrazivé atmosférické black metalové kapely. Rusko. In the spring of 2021, after a year of worldwide isolation, UTBURD is preparing to present its new work about loneliness and heroism, as well as about personal feat and the tragedy of loss. Cold, blizzards, storm and loneliness of the polar night - that is what awaits the listeners of the new opus entitled "Story of Frozen Souls". The concept album will tell about the exploration of Antarctica, the discovery of new lands and the first travels. The collective image of the heroes-discoverers James Ross, Ernest Shackleton and Robert Scott, seasoned with Edgar Poe-s story about the adventures of Arthur Gordon Pym, coupled with viscous, gravitating riffs, voluminous compositions full of Antarctic cold and oppressive darkness, will make the listeners wrap themselves up in a warmer hour exploration of the icy continent. Sound experiments from Slaughtered Studio, frosty atmosphere, stormy blast beats, guest vocals, live flute...

Precizní old school death / black metal z Austrálie. Digipack. Australian black/death metal band Vahrzaw have been perfecting their sound since the early '90s and creating a blend of the two styles that doesn't sound like anything else out there. At this stage their music has evolved enough to make it sound almost progressive in nature, where they take the best elements of both the styles, throw in some thrash metal elements, a tinge of melody, and create their own palette and go about their inimitable way of expressing themselves using unique and vivid brush strokes with colours both familiar and bold. It's likely to get lost in their deceptive, constantly changing, labyrinthine structures which fool the listener into thinking he's been there before and the next minute he's contending with a completely different soundscape. None of it comes across as jarring just because it's so coherently and expertly done and he's compelled to experience it all over again to make sense of this...

Další velmi pozoruhodná záležitost od labelu Aesthetic Death Records. Tajemný psychedelický black metal s prvky rituálního ambientu.  Finsko.  

Nové jméno polské black metalové scény. Varmia were established in 2016 in Olsztyn, Poland by guitarist & vocalist, Lasota. The band’s name is taken from the historical region in northern Poland, Warmia. It reflects the band’s lyrical content which is inspired by pre-Slavic qualities and heritage of the Warmia district. Varmia carry the ethnic Slavic spirit into the recording by utilising Slavic instruments and recording the material fully live. Entitled, “W ciele nie” is the band’s second album that follows up on the outstanding debut, “Z mar twych”. Varmia favour the natural and authentic sound. That is why the new album was recorded in a makeshift studio in an old barn, while the vocals and ethnic instruments were recorded live in the forests in Warmia, a region in northern Poland. The result of this is black metal loaded with wilderness and heathen spirit.

Disonantní death / black metal ve stylu Sigh, Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega. Digipack. USA. Veilburner are back with a new album full of twisted, brain-warping, consciousness-altering death/black metal. Many thought they'd achieved their pinnacle with their previous full length 'A Sire to the Ghouls of Lunacy' but this one, while continuing where it left off, expands upon the theme of that one in ways never imagined. This is more of the same unhinged, dissonant and downright terrifying music delivered with even more conviction and extremity. Their creative genius is inexhaustible as the band once again elaborates on the concept of the man suffering from a mental condition being haunted by the ghoul-ish entities that feature on the artwork and fighting to prove their existence. Indeed, the multi-faceted music sounds as though it's written by someone with multiple personality disorder because it's fantastically whimsical, following no perceivable trajectories, and just leaves you...

Karsten Hamre (Penitent, Dense Vision Shrine) se svým dalším dark ambient / industrial projektem. Digipack. Norsko.

Melancholický, přírodou inspirovaný náladotvůrný black - doom metal s prvky folku. Digipack. USA. The bands music can be best described as a combination of sorrowful black metal with a very doomy atmosphere, combined with elements of folk. Although the band definately has their own sound, one could easily find comparisons to bands like OPETH, AGALLOCH, PRIMORDIAL & WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM. "Sovereign Nocturnal", the bands debut album is miles ahead of their 2007 demo "Pacing the Cyclic Nether" in terms of maturity, songcraft & production. With the three songs combining for a total running time of 41 minutes & 15 seconds the emphasis has been laid upon a musical foundation of progressive yet feral riffs intertwining with delicate passages that only make the heavier parts that much more potent, not unlike early Opeth & Agalloch! Combined with lyrical content based upon the premise that the human race is insignificant compared to the grand power and prestige of...

Zbrusu nové album norské black metalové kapely. Digipack. VEMOD are by no means an average band. The Norwegians exist in the liminal spaces and the crossroads of places. The trio has chiselled their sophomore full-length "The Deepening" from the same sonic granite that its predecessor "Venter på stormene" came from over a decade ago. This bedrock is found in Namsos, where VEMOD were conceived as a lifelong passion project at the turn of the century by then 12-year old Jan Even Åsli. The nearest big city is Trondheim where the fiercely individual local Nidrosian black metal scene, which refers to the city's original name, provided VEMOD with its first point of musical reference as embodied by the first demo "Kringom fjell og skog" (2004). When the Norwegians reemerged seven years later with both the track "Moestæ Qverelæ" on a split-single and the demo "Vinterilden" in 2011, they had considerably changed. The trio had taken a step outside by strengthening elements that have...

Debutní album norské black metalové kapely. Digipack. Vemod from Trondheim/Norway are one of the most promising and visionary bands of the vibrant, eclectic contemporary metal underground and have already made quite an impact in well-informed circles. Combining such diverse influences as Ulver, Dead Can Dance, Brian Eno and Paysage d'Hiver, the three musicians pursue a unique musical and aesthetical approach, thus reaching a distinct expression and atmosphere at an early stage of their career. Vemod's first full length album "Venter På Stormene" (English: "waiting for the storms") was originally released in 2012 and is now reissued by Prophecy on a larger scale. Separated into the two parts "Over jord, vandrende" ("throughout the earth, wandering") and "Over himmel, flammende" ("throughout the heavens, flaming"), the album is conceived as a twofold manifestation of inner movements and a rising star, a contemplation upon the yet-again-sacred. The marriage of dark ethereal metal and...

Black metal. Kanada.

Precizní avant-gardní black metal s prvky jazzu, post rocku, ambientu. Digipack. Canada. Based out of the French city Lille, Verlies is an avant-garde Black Metal band playing dark, strange, and experimental music. Ranging from piercing and uncompromising Black Metal, to experimental jazz melodies, to post-rock sensibilities, and everything in between, the music is raw, bold, and truly exceptional.

Temný atmosférický death metal z Francie. Digipack. Emanating as if from the foul-smelling, poisoned swamps, the music of debutants Viande will make you claw at your throat, enveloping you in suffocating darkness, and before you know it, it will have on your knees gasping for air, with a blood-stained bag on your head. Soon enough the clobbering begins in pitch black darkness and amidst the mind-numbing cacophony, with eerie sounds ringing about, one thing becomes clear - there are stranger, darker forces involved here. More than just another dark death metal band, Viande are conjuring up different sounds and atmospheric elements to create a truly terrifying form of death metal, one that doesn't wallow in misery for too long and is more content bashing skulls in. The full length remains an amorphous exercise in darkness, be it with the use of bestial-sounding primordial catharsis, harrowing doom-laden passages, or just their own kind of unsettling industrial ambience, they're on to...

Precizní norský post black metal. Digipack.

Monumentální orchestrální industrial ambient. Digipack. The album contains three opuses with the similar thematic framework, associated with the meaning of the album's name, however of different means of expression: (1) Symphony No.5 "Axonal Transit" (tracks 1-4) (2) Symphony No.6 "Metaspheres" (tracks 5-10) (I3) Hymn - Do Not Let Us Perish (track 11) (1) "Axonal Transit" is a four-part composition, considered "Symphony No.5" for electronics, strings, brasses, and percussion manipulated by integrated techniques, consisting in temporal and spatial variations blending musical themes with ambient structures in the position of anchoring, however billowing matrix.

Zbrusu nové sólové album Vladimíra Hirsche (Aghiatrias, Skrol). Monumentální orchestrální industrial ambient. Černý vinyl, limitovaná edice 200 ks. Composition for orchestra, mixed choir and integrated techniques. 2010-2022. (LP ©2023 Integrated Music Records-Catch 067). Side 1: 1-Sequentia I, 2-Sequentia II, 3-Sequentia III Side 2: 1-Sequentia IV, 2-Sequentia V, 3-Sequentia VI A conceptual album, based on a dialogue of central, however minimalistically economical repetitive choral motifs with instrumental themes in the spirit of the author's integrated musical concept. It is a work of an oratorical nature of a musical requiem type, but without the presence of solo vocal parts and without compositional articulation into the form of that standard classical formation. Orchestral-industrial elements in their reasonable amount add suitable dynamic power to the musical expression, where the layered polytonality with historical stylistic references and imaginative alchemical...

Monumentální orchestrální dark ambient industrial. Digipack. Scripta Soli (“The writings of the earth”) is a thematic contemplation triggered by a great Czech artist in the form of a fictive experience during an apocalyptic war catastrophe, perceived by a person imprisoned in the bunker. Epically dramatized, it consists of 12 figurative parts to strip moral vacuum accumulated by memories, fears, visions and expectations of the inevitable, like echoes from the devastated core, sonically interpreted by the ground and aborted on the surface. Vladimir Hirsch offers expressionist sharpness and contrast to gouge out the focal sound from the background cacophonous substance to evoke stark and haunting imagery behind. Proving his expertise and repertoire he renders field recordings, electroacoustic and digital techniques through his typical metamorphic musicalization of primarily non-musical elements realizing the shrill, dynamic realities of the inner conflict: the titular sonic earth...

Precizní melancholický doom metal s prvky death metalu. Digipack. In 2016 a five-person expedition from Hamburg, who had set out towards the unknown, established a base on newfound ground. The crew – consisting of seasoned doom metal veterans also hired on vessels like Ophis, Fvneral Fvkk or Remembrance – claimed the place as their own, named it Voidhaven and used it as origin for the distribution of their artistic cargo. The exported wares combine various components to spread an atmosphere of oppressive, yet harboring gloom. Lyrically, they incorporate skeptical world watching, critical reflection of social relations, addressing inner struggles and spinning haunting tales. Musically, they blend a foundation of Melancholic Doom Metal with elements from Death Metal. The first goods in form of the “Voidhaven”-EP were shipped in collaboration with Solitude Productions in 2018. Overcoming a line-up change on the drums, an unplanned break due to a pandemic and personal...
