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
Cult demo of raw, proud and medieval sounding black metal from the fertile, dusty moors of Quebec is now available on Record and Compact Disc for the first time. Sold out almost immediately after being revealed, this demo now fetches relatively high collector prices within the underground ranks – truly outstanding among the current Quebec elite.
Comes in a 6-panel digipack w/ a 6-page booklet. "Stella Pandora", the impassioned and anthemic 8th album from ARKONA, finds the formidable Polish Black Metal pioneers supremely focused, superbly intense and aflame with melodic vigour. Since their 1993 formation ARKONA have progressively fine-tuned and elevated their sound, and this follow-up to 2019's acclaimed "Age of Capricorn" advances the band further still, as they imbue each phrase with a sense of existential yearning - a wistful awareness of the past dying inside the present.
