This is the very first album released by true Norwegian black metallers Emperor. As one of the founding fathers of the symphonic wing of the genre, Emperor have a highly dramatic sound, balancing melodic dark synth melodies with ferocious howling forward movement. 'In The Nightside Eclipse' is reissued via ICARUS.
Watzmannsage: Watzmann, rabid, full of rage, crimson blood flowing in his veins. Disgorged of his dark gorge, the revelations of his bloodthirsty years. The wicked creatures stretched high in the Bavarian Alps, turning into cliffs and stones, towering into the sky shrouded in deadly nebulae, covered in snow. The new „VVatzmannsage“ EP is out. V hymns compiled from the first EP of Drudensang and the „Teufelsspuk und Alpenraunen“ Split in an new version.
Fallen is the 9th studio album from Burzum, and follows the highly critically acclaimed 2010 release Belus which put Burzum straight back at the at the top of the chain as of one of the most innovative and creative metal artists of our time. Fallen follows Belus in sound and structure, and can also be compared to the music on the groundbreaking DET SOM ENGANG VAR. Fallen is more dynamic and hard hitting then Belus and has an even bigger sound, but still carries the same trademark melodic melody lines throughout that makes Burzum sound so iconic and unique.
The band draws inspiration from the dark and swampy Swedish forests to create a combination of old school black metal and the horrific aspects of Scandinavian folklore
