SATANIC WARMASTER needs no introduction nor explanation, and nor should the modern classic that is Carelian Satanist Madness. Originally released in the dark days of 2005, this album emerged during the peak of Finland's black metal underground, and mainman Werwolf - here recording everything, save session drums - led the way for all others well into the next decade. All the triumph and tragedy, mysticism and madness, literally EVERYTHING that is sacred and pure in authentic and dedicated BLACK METAL is here distilled to its proudest and most poignant essence. To deny this is to deny black metal itself. Feeding the fires forever more is this new 2-CD edition, which hereby includes the 10th anniversary concert where Carelian Satanist Madness is performed in its entirety, along with the previously released collaboration track with Bizarre Uproar, available on CD for the first time.
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.
Canadian war metallers REVENGE return with two new songs. The 'Deceiver.Diseased.Miasmic' EP represents a new chapter in the band’s nihilistic and hateful mission against the world. Immersed in a thick layer of sonic muck, the beastly grunts and spiteful screams, the crusty guitar sound and the assaulting drums drown out any pretense of accessibility and affability. ‘Deceiver.Diseased.Miasmic’ emanates a grubby atmosphere, pushing the limits even further than on previous efforts.
Rostorchester has never had such a fat and rich sound and we thank our boyish mixer for taking the time to turn the boozy mess raw recordings into one of the best Rostorchester productions ever.
The glorious return of a legend - SUMMONING! Seven long and agonizing years have finally come to an end, as "Old Mornings Dawn" - the highly anticipiated new album by the cult band SUMMONING is released!
French black metal pioneers SETH have once again lit the flame of the early days with ‘La Morsure du Christ', which can be seen as a sequel to their 1998 acclaimed debut ‘Les blessures de l'âme'.
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.
Canadian Black Metal Chaos machine REVENGE has announced a follow-up strike for 2020 in the form of a re-issue of their ‘Attack.Blood.Revenge‘ EP with bonus tracks.With the chimes of death ringing in their 20th year in 2020, alongside the prominence that REVENGE has earned releasing multiple albums and EP‘s over the past two decades, it seems fitting to re-release the debut EP that declared to the world the band‘s intentions of being a solitary black mist of death that smothers the trends tainting the black metal underground.
