SAMAEL - Ceremony of Opposites CD

Ancient Records / Purity Through Fire

Melodic and raw stuff of Moorgeist and Hergandrom.

Dunkle, mystische Melodien weben sich schicksalshaft durch die Kompositionen, verschmelzen mit der endlosen Nacht und lassen die Schatten alter Legenden durch die verlassene, von Nebel umhüllte Landschaft wandern.

Svekkelse is the sixth full-length album from the Trondheim based black metal band Gjendød. The second album as a three-piece. Svekkelse continues where the previous album Livskramper quit, but this time, the band has turned it all up a notch. The band never worked with their compositions with such an intensity before.

The work of one selfsame Häxär, concurrently of Ernte, HÄXÄR are a lone torch of Swiss black metal. Now, after two albums in as many years, HÄXÄR present their third album of turn-of-the-millennium nastiness: Teufelskult. Ripped raw and ripping, Teufelskult possesses that dead-but-alive electricity that so earmarked many a Moonfog release as Y2K approached.

FROSTEN is the most recent creation of prolific UK underground veteran Azrael, who also numbers such entities as Heathen Deity, Helvellyn, Torver, and now-labelmates THY DYING LIGHT among his many current endeavors. As FROSTEN, the duo of Azrael and session drummer Julian Foster play True English Black Metal.

Earlier this spring, SCHEUSAL released their debut album, Urwahn, the so-far-mysterious entity strikes while the iron's red-hot with Fressfeind. Thankfully, not much has changed here on this second full-length. Pure 'n' proud Teutonic black metal is still the order of the day, but just like Urwahn did so stridently, Fressfeind further twists SCHEUSAL's unique iteration of German steel.

Since the arrival of their debut album, Red Dragon's Invocation, in 2021 and the EP The Oath of the Black Wolf a year later, ORGREL have indeed been feeding the Beast. A band literally out of time, the Italian power-trio hailed the ancient days of black metal...

PROFANATICA require no introduction. Cold 'n' alone American black metal before "USBM" became some dumb rallying term, pushing boundaries and "good taste" with vile blasphemy and even-more-vile music, and simply doing whatever the fuck they want, both in their original early '90s guise and their now-intensely-prolific period in the 21st millennium: there's only ever been one true PROFANATICA.

Killer live recording from the bands one and only show in the lowlands on 20/11/2005 anno bastardi.

Black Metal from Germany

Depressive Black Metal

Temple of Baal returns with new, epic album, including 10 brand new compositions

Als Satyricon mit ›Nemesis Divina‹ 1996 ihr drittes Album veröffentlichten, war ihr Status als eine der bedeutendsten und kreativsten Bands in der norwegischen Black Metal-Szene schon über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Doch Nemesis Divina war keine gewöhnliche Veröffentlichung oder nur ein weiterer Schritt auf der Treppe zum Ruhm.

CD in deluxe Digipak with 16-page booklet, exclusive patch (10cm x 10cm). Digipak limited to the first CD pressing: 2.400 copies.
Canadian Chaos Black Metal extremists REVENGE return with ‘Strike.Smother.Dehumanize', the follow up to their 2015 album ‘Behold.Total.Rejection'. Being called complete noise by some, and total genius by others, these polarized views continue to be worn by the band as a badge of honour. On ‘Strike.Smother.Dehumanize', leader J. Read has eclipsed all past releases. With an extremely potent and organic production, lightning speed, chaotic song structures and razor sharp vocals delivered with unparalleled conviction the black metal outfit has constructed a manifesto of self-ascension, absolute hatred of organized religion, and total contempt for the enslaved modern man that feeds at the trough of mediocrity with every waking breath. The destruction and rebuilding of humanity is the only cure for the cancer known as mankind. No Scene No Brotherhood No Remorse.

Black Metal in bester finnischer Manier
