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.
No other words are necessary: ancient-days Teutonic black metal continues to be on the rise, and EISENKULT are leading the charge with Vulgäre, deutsche Hassmusik!
Darkthrone hail from Norway and for the past decade have been at the forefront of the infamous Black Metal movement - quite an achievement for a band who have only ever played a handful of live shows. Transilvanian Hunger is Darkthrone's classic 4th album from 1994.
