SHIBALBA ANNOUNCES NEW RITUAL OPUS: “Nekrologie Sinistrae”
Greek Ritual Ambient emissaries Shibalba return with their most transcendent offering to date: “Nekrologie Sinistrae”, a ceremonial invocation birthed through the union of Cyclic Law Records and Zazen Sounds.
As the eternal Suns of Ma’at blaze through the inner sanctums of the self, “Nekrologie Sinistrae” leads the listener through the initiatic spiral—where torment, silence, and divine ecstasy converge. This is not merely an album, but a sacred odyssey—one that confronts the shadow of Thanatos and pierces it with the rose spear of Life Eternal.
In a vortex of esoteric vibrations and ceremonial soundscapes, Shibalba performs a magickal alchemy: dissolving the veil between life and death, and merging the metaphysical opposites of the Therion and the Knight. Here, Death and Life become lovers in a cosmic dance, spiraling toward the One King who reigns over both Moon and Sun.
This is music for the sacred rites of Becoming and Over-Becoming. A breath and a cry. A mirror of the agonizing beauty found in transcendent transformation.

The band plays a fast, aggressive style of black metal that would go on to be more 'polished' in later releases. But on Frühlingserwachen, the sound is still quite gritty and raw, despite decent production values, and works well with its subject matter of WWI & WWII (with some anti-religious sentiments thrown in for good measure). The band leans into this theme with vocalist Iblis credited for "propaganda" and drummer Mayhemic Destructor as "artillery," a fitting description for the drums on the album.
Lurking in the dankest, moldiest depths of the black metal underground, THE TRUE WEREWOLF has prolifically pursued a vision of malodorous decay and plague-ridden melancholy since 2002.
Special reissue of the cult classic debut EP from Celestia. Original version released in 1999 on Drakkar Productions. Comes with one studio bonus track recorded during the same session.
ΝΕΚΥΙΑ - The Necromantic Patterns markiert einen Abstieg in die chthonischen Gefilde der Transzendenz, wo die Schleier der Sterblichkeit zerrissen werden und die verborgenen Ströme offenbaren, die die Existenz weben. Dieses Werk ist eine zeremonielle Odyssee durch die labyrinthischen Korridore von Tod und Wiedergeburt und verkörpert die heiligen Riten der Auflösung und des Aufstiegs, indem es die Weisheit der Alten und die spektralen Echos vergessener Äonen anruft.
Vel'Har then embarked on the creation of a full-length album, delving into Luciferian rituals and the Draconian path.

(Hetroertzen), who contributed drums, mixing, and mastering.
