Originally released at the very end of 2004, back in darker times, Death Before Dishonour was the grand culmination of an intense demo period for monomaniacal mainman BlackGoat Gravedesecrator. During this period, GOATMOON exuded a ripped-raw and punk-oriented brand of Finnish black metal. Even at this stage, however, moments of iron-willed triumph 'n' tragedy - which would later blossom on subsequent albums, in a plausibly refined manner - crop up and create a unique disconnect that, somehow, is entirely Finnish. Above all, Death Before Dishonour is a distillation of times now long lost, when Finnish black metal was truly beginning to assert its dominance of the underground. Hear where the infamy began, or move on a coward.
Endlich, RUNENWACHT sind zurück mit einem neuem Album " Das letzte Geleit". Inhaltlich widmen sich die zehn Stücke erneut der nordischen und heidnischen Mythologie. Auch zentrale Themen der Edda – der bedeutenden Sammlung von Götter- und Heldensagen – finden ihren Platz und verleihen dem Album eine tiefere mythologische Dimension.
Compact disk comes with a bonus disk featuring alternative versions of the album tracks with Cryptic Winter (Judas Iscariot etc.) on drums along with unreleased material.
An aptly titled record no matter the language, Naturmystik brings together two modern stalwarts of mystical black metal. HÄXANU - whose acclaimed second album, Totenpass, was released last year by AMOR FATI - is the duo of multi-instrumentalist Alex Poole (Chaos Moon, Krieg, Skáphe, Ringarė, etc) and vocalist/lyricist L.C. of Lichmagick.
SERMONS OF THE BLACK FLAME is once again pure Black Metal, committed to the traditions of the Scandi-navian school - but even more varied and epic than its two predecessors
